the village Jail over ON its side. Sat-
urday morning the Federal inspection
under Lieutenant +. c. Test, inspec. .
or-instruc; Of the New Mexico Ma
tional Guard, was held under sunni
skies. The return to Las Cruces wa'
accomplished quickly and the Deming
boys were soon making the most OF
what Las Cruces could offer.
LAS CRUCES NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
The citizens of Las Cruces showed
noenthusiasm even when their own
no enthusiasm even when their own
companies passed the mayor in re-
hibit the usual hospitality to officers
and men to be expected in other New
Mexico communities. This, however,
it was explained, was due to lack
of cooperation in the community. In
dividual citizens of both Anglo Saxon
and Spanish American descent dem
onstrated that the town does possess
delightful and cultured citizens which
ought TO come right over TO Deming
where they belong and where their
unselfsh efforts would be more APP
preciated. Ii was noticeable that
when Company of Deming reached
its home station there was a large
crowd to greet the citizen soldiers at
the station. although it had to come
out in the rain TO do il. The sam"
was true when Company departed,
the cheers of the popuace warming
the hearts of the boys who were max
ing personal sacrifices to perform
patriotic duty.
MATTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE
The state of New Mexico offers lit
tie encouragement to its national
guard. While the boys did not com
plain great deal in the lack of
Pullman service to and from Las
Cruces, they felt the discomfort
which could easily have been avoided.
The Graphic only mentions this as n
matter of record and not because of
n desire to "knock." The situation
AN be changed and must be il cii-
zens are to be expected to sacrifice
time and comfort to the voluntary
work of national defense. The bat
talon camp was n success.
