Membership Campaign is on
and Many New Names are
Being Enrolled.

When the improvements now un-

ing on Gold avenue are completed
the organization will boast of the
best gymnasium in this section Of
the state and the maple wood dane
ing floor, cighty-iiye by thirty feet,
will be- the pride Of Deming. The
enlarging of the floor space was
made possible by removing the par.
ttion between the bowling alley
and the gymnasium. fairall and
Stroup, contractors, are doing the
work.
CLOAK AND TOILET ROOMS.
Other improvements will be cloak
and toilet rooms fully equipped.
An unique and ornate orchestra
loft will be built in over the dane
ing floor. \ special entrance will
b. provided SO that guest will not
find it necessary To use the club
room entrance. OF course the new
gymnasium is being oyerhaulcd for
the benefit of the club members,
but the floor will be let for outside
functions when such functions do
not interfere with the club affairs.
NEW EQUIPMENT FOR GYM.
The equipment of the gymnasium
will be complete and ample for all
purposes. II is hoped that club
members will take advantage pf the
additional apparatus to form basket
ball and voley ball teams and to
engage in other athletic indoor
sports. 1t is thought that club
dances will be given every other
week, probably on Friday nights.
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN.
A campaign for an increased
membership will be begun at once
and it is hoped that every pnbic
spirited citizen will enroll. The
Ad,iphi Club is the oldest social
organization in the city and is
powerful influence for good in the
community. The management plans
to provide healthful recreation for
those athleticaly inclined and social

of visitors to Deming and the Min.
bres Valley has been one Of the
most helpful of all the activities of
the club. 1t is in the congenal
and refined atmosphere of the club
that visitors receive their
first impression of the indomitable
Mimbres Valley spirit.

Luna County Citizens.

One of the most gratifying
things to be considered by residents
of Luna county is the personnel of
her citizens. More university gra-
duates, professional men, and sue
cessful business men can here be
found in proportion to the popula-
tion, perhaps than in any other Sec
ton of the whole country Not
only experienced farmers from 9TH
or sections of the United States.
but bankers, doctors, lawyers and
ministers are making good. The
lure of the land has developed
farmers from all of the various
walks of life who are making the
desert blossom as the rose. School
superintendents and college profes-
sors, even politicians and office
holders, have donned the garb of
the agriculturalist, have joined
with the forces Of reclamation and
in most instances are eminently sue
cessful.

NOT STRANGE WHEN
YOU KNOW DEMINC

The Deming GRAPHIC has been
sold to C. E. Ely of Santa Fe. Mr..
Ely has a good model to follow, as
the GRAPHIC has been a good paper
and has done much for Deming end
vicinity. A strange thing is that
Deming appreciated the boosting of
Holt and DePuy, the former owners.
and this marks the field as a most
desirable one for Mr.. Ely, who will
doubtless follow the pattern set and
add much to it. Mr.. Ely has a
standard set for him, and we predict
he will surpass it and give Deming
the very best in newspapers. .--Rlo

WE CAN RAISE EN-
BIGGER AND BETTER HERE

What would a farmer in the rain
belt think of raising over 800 BUSH
els of potatoes on one acre of land?
1t is claimed that fine grade of po.
tatoes was raised in that amount in
the San Luis valley, located in south.
western Colorado. Business condi-
tions generally are very prosperous
in the inter.muuntain country at this
time because the farmers on irri-
gated lands have raised bumper
crons FIX.

PARCELS POST
LAW JANUARY |.
Dividing Country into Rate
Zones Gives Local Mer-
chants Advantage
SPECIAL STAMPS USED
Packages Must be Mailed at
Post-Office and Bear Re-
turn of Sender.

The new parcels post law has de.
lyered the mail order concerns into
the hands of the local merchants
and if the latter are alive to their
advantage what they may do to
their long-distance rivals will make
a Balkan battlefield look like a pink
tea. While a few of the uninform.
ed retail dealers were fighting the
proposed law the mail order houses
were frantically trying to prevent
its passage, well knowing that divid.
ing the country into rate zones"
spelled loss in their business.
LOCAL DEALERS HAVE FIELD
In effect the law forces the mail
order houses to do business in a ra.
dius limited to the particular zone
in which they may be located. be
cause the rate for carrying commodi-
ties in other and distant zones are
almost prohibitive. If the local
merchants will send out their cata-
logs, they can cover their territory
far more effectively than the mail
order houses ever did.
IN EFFECT JAN. |.
Official notice has been received
by postmaster, Err. Pennington stat
ing that the parcels post plan will go
into effect January |. 1t is expect
ed that the postoffice department
will soon send out instructions rela-
tive to the tariffs for sending mer-
chandse through the mails. A map
known as zone map showing all
the routes and giving information
concerning the new project will be
placed where persons interested can
learn quickly how and where to send
their goods.
Here is a table of rates covering
the new method:
Any article is malable If not over
II pounds in weight nor more than
u inches in length and girth COM
bined, not likely to injure the mails
or postal equipment or employees.
A fiat rate of one cent per ounce
up to four ounces, regardless OF the
distance.
RATE ZONES.
Above four ounces, rates are by
the pound or fraction thereof, and

sary. Perishable articles may not
be shipped or packages that might
ipiure of any postal employe.
PERIsHABLE ARTICLES.
By perishable articles is not meant
ordinary farm or garden produce
but only such as will decay in transit.
Distinctive stamps must be used
for mailing packages under the par
GELS post system. Packages bearing
ordinary stamps are not mallaole
and will be held for postage under
the rules of the department. Three
requirements are insisted upon in
sending packages by parcels post, as
follows:
First Distinctive parcels post
stamps must be used on all fourth
class matter. Such matter bearing
ordinary postage stamps will be
treated as unavailable.
Second-Parcels will be mailable
only at postoffices, branch postofii'
ces, local named branch offices, let
tered Offices and numbered offices
named by the postmaster.
Third-All parcels must bear the
return address of the sender, or
thew will not be accepted for mailing.

As soon as the ground can be

will begin and the local exchange
will occupy its new quarters on
Gold avenue no later than next May.
c. E. Stratton, division general man.
ager, with Offices at Ell Paso, and J.
A. Hannah. building foreman, with
Offices in Denver, left the city Mon.
day after going over the plant and
specifications with District Manager
r. E. Pilloud of Deming. The struct-
ure will be of brick. thirty-two by
sixty-five feet, one story high with
basement, and will occupy lots
eight, nine and ten, with a frontage
of forty feet on Gold avenue
II. II. KELLY DID IT.
The securing of this Office to
Deming is the work of H II. Kelly,
president If the Chamber of Com
merce, who fathered the proposed
improvement when the telephone
officials had given up hope of secur'
ing a suitable site on reasonable
terms. Booster Kelly went to Fl
Paso to see Mr.. Stratton and prom
ised that official that he would see
to it that the company secured ia
vorable terms and a good location
for the edifce. On his return Mr..
Kelly took an option on the site Sc.
lected, at his own risk, and turned it
over to the company on terms that
were satisfactory to the corporation.
Of course District Manager Pilloud
did all that was in his power to
make possible the proposed erection
of a local home for his exchange
but when seen by a reporter for the
GRAPHIC he modestly shifted the
blame" on MIR. Kelly. The tele'
phone officials were outspoken in
their praise and heartily felicitated
Deming on the possession of SC
many public spirited and fair.minded
citizens. They understand now
however, that this is only fair tc
middling" sample of the Deminl
and Mimbres Valley spirit.
FOR A CITY OF $4,000.
While the present building will bt
but one story the walls will be bull
strong enough to support another oi

expands. So optimistic of the fu
ture of Deming are the telephone
officials that they are making theil
plans to care for the business of

itants. Deming citizens long ag'

is indeed gratifying.
WORK FOR MANY HANDS.
The telephone company will work
forty or more men here from four
to six months on the construction
and equipment of the Office. These
men will be sent in from outside
points and will be kept steadily on
the job. What this means is appa-
rent when it is learned that a much
smaller office was erected in an ad-
jacent town at a cost of $4,000, all
of which went into the local chan.
nels of trade.
NO MORE CRANKiNG.
The equipment now used in the
Office on Silver avenue will be dis
carded and an Entirely new and
strictly modern outfit installed in
the new home. To the uninitiated
editor of the GRAPHIC District Man
ager Pilloud poured out a highly
technical description of the new
plant, practically all of which he
"muffed," with the exception of the
fact that there would be no more
hurdy.gurdy grinding of a crank
when the operator is wanted.
His elucidation sounded something
like this:
UP TO THE MINUTE.
I'VE will install the latest central
energy switchboard with a flash
light system of signals. This means
that the picking up of the receiver
signals the central operator and does
away with the crank.turning which
is now necessary. The capacity of
the board will be $500 subscribers.
THE COMFORT OF EMPLOYEES.
The building will be equipped
with a modern heating and cooling
plant. A lavatory with a bath in
cluded will be provided for the EN-.
ployes. These improvements speak
well for the considerate treatment
accorded the company's helpers by
the corporation and means happy
lot of hello" girls who will not say
'Gwan' when you are in hurry
for a number"
NO UNSlGHTLY WIRES.
The unsightly open wire leads tC
the office now in use will be re-
placed by cables that gather the sew
eral lines into one large strand. The
street poles will be dressed ant
painted. This means additional ex
pense, but shows that the corpora

Myndus.

An interesting personality of
Spanish descent among the recent
filers at Myndus is DR.. Cox, a gra-
duate nurse from New York who is
looking after Mrs. X. ID. Clayton's
continued improvement. In two
years more Miss Cox will receive
her medical diploma. She is an
ardent suffragette, and she believes
that her own career exemplifes the
power of will and perseverance cou-
pied with health. Her parents
were circus people and she grew
up as trapeze performer, travel
ing with the Van Amberg shows
and later filling engagements with
the Barnum and Bailey combina-
ton. Her family desiring more
dignified calling for her placed her
in the Texas Convent of Our Lady
of the Yoke. There the gentle
sisters must have developed her
sympathy and love for the healing
art, for since that time her interest
has been centered on nusring and
she has determined to devote her
service to the ailing and suffering.
With good nature and bounding Vi
tality, she carries cheer and magne.
tism into the sick room under her
care.
The ladies of Myndns were invit-
ed recently by Mrs. Clay Dyer to a
charming afternoon affair. Not
far distant from the wtching Hal
lowee'n time, it was fitting that II
prophecies should peer into the fu-
ture for the assembled guests
Miss Elizabeth Brewster turned the
sibylline leaves in approved manner
without entirely neglccting either
the past or present. Personal ques.
tions and those pertinent to rising
land values and town promotion
were oracularly answered, alternat-
ing peals of laughter and startled
gIances, adding merriment to
amusement. Mrs. Dyer served
chicken sandwiches and an English
brew of tea in delicate monogram
med china, and the talk turned on
things artistic and literary. Stir
ring selections on the victrola were
the closing feature.
John Haller received lumber and
cement and he is now hauling sand
and gravel and is laying the founda-
ton for a concrete house on his
