DEMlNG HAS PROSPERED
At this time there are many IN
fortunate Mexican refugees frol
across the border, They never ha
much, but they have less now. Til
Christmas season means much I
these eXpntriates, for in Mexico
is the years most solemn and ioyor
festival. MANY little brown babic
vii not break the ola full of candi,
aud toys this year because the
parents cannot provide the bare n,
ccssi,ies of life. There will
empty stockings for many an Amer
can baby, too, unless the people I
Dcming open their hearts and III
loose their purse strings TO return
part of that which fortune has civ,
them so freely. Deming has prospe
ed this year, and its citizens shou
give lest plenty make them poor.
