Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1916-07-28

diers can be quickly moved from it to
81 Paso, Columbus or any other point
on the Arizona border, are the main
reasons for luck. Also, il is more
than 1000 feet high and has no sand
and not much dust when the wind
blows.
SUPPLIES ARRIVE
AS consequence of 1t all about
5000 mon OF the national guard are
TO be mobilixcd here this week. On
thai point there can Ie no doubt. The
first evidence was the opening of the
quartermaster's headquarters and the
unloading Of carload after carload Of
supplies. The next evidence was the
coming Of major surgeon Of the
medical corps with assistants and the
commencement Of n hospital building
which, when completed. will care for
900 inmates.
THREE REGIMENTS ON WAY
But IL other evidence was lacking il
was supplied Yesterday by the arriv-
al OF train londed with big motos
trucks, ihirty-three, of them, aud iif-'
ty men in charge of them. Three reg.
iments Of national puardsmcn are on
the way. and Others are entraining.
There will be- all Of 5000 guardsmen
officers and others attached to the
service.
MEANS MUCH FINANCIALLY
Financially, this means much to
Deming. Only 5000 men encamped
at Fort Bliss meant much to Fl Paso,
busy city Of $4,000. How much
more 5000 men means to Deming, a
little city of 5000, is hard to esii-
mate. But il means an outlay by the
g,lardslnen and Uncle Sam at least
1925, ,O00.O0 a month.
PURE AIR AND WATER
The hospital is to be more than
merely hospital for the forces sta
toned here. The sick men from be-
low the border, from Douglas and No
gales in Arizona, from Columbus, and
some Of them from Fl Paso, probably
are to be sent here to rccuperate. The
water is pure, the air cooler there is
less dust and sand.
"99.99" BECOMES FAMOUS
Deming put itself on the map fe"
years ago, by advertising its water a.
5000 pure. Willard Holt, the veteran
editor Of th. Graphic, started 1890
as a slogan and the postoffice here
unhesitatingly places in his box all
letters addressed 10 5000. No other
address is required to insure delivery.
For four years, that other veteran
editor, Mr.. vallandigham, Of the
Headlight. has also boosted with all
the powers that are possible for a
vide awake energetic able news
paper man.
MADE UP OF BOOSTERS
OF course, there we're, and are, 9TH
or boosters IN plenty. The town is
made up Of them. Any one who is not
booster gets so lonesome here that
he generally moves on, and men
who get tired Of boosting, who wear
ont boosting, also move on. But the
boosters who never tire, or wear out,
stay here and keep on boosting; and
while Deming, owing TO an unusually
dry year, was beginning to feel the
pinch which usually comes TO every
dry section, now comes the Mexican
trouble, the order Of the militia to the
border. and the capitalization of 99.-
90 per cent pure water and strate-
gically located railroad center into
more money than The most persistent
Deming booster ever dreamed Of see-
ing roll into toNu. ~
PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE
Every vacant buildiug has been
leased and every vacant lot optioned.
Demine does not realize what Il
mears yet. The people do not under
stand what an encampment Of 5000
guarlsmcn win bring to the city. For
the moment there Is no initiation OF
