order that the manufacturing end

essary. The company has an addi-
tional lot beside their present hand
some new brick building, and the side
of the present building is so con-

be erected on the east and the two
buildings join with very little expense
and no inconvenience.
Manager L. H. Phillips has become
so proficient in the work that he has
been made general manager Of the
string Of plants that will be operated
during the coming year by the CON-
pany, the local plant now being in
charge of his brother, T. NJ. Phillips.
This industry bids fair to be one Of
large proportions, and the business
like manner in which the affairs Of
the company are conducted assures
it's permanent prosperity. Incident
ally, the company has ordered seven
"G. N. c." motor truclrs which will
be used in expeditiously handling the
product, which will consist in the
bottling Of Coca Cola and the manu-
facture Of all kinds Of non alcoholic
beveridges.

Orders lave been received at last
for the retirement of the first and
second battalions, Delaware infantry,
who expect TO entrain on the Santa
Fe about February 2.
Deming has become strongly at
tached to the Delaware soldiers, both
officers and enlisted men. They have
behaved themselves like the GENTLE
men that they are and will carry to
their homes our best wishes and high
est regard. A few have become so
attached to this splendid country
that they will be mustered out here
and remain. There has not been a
death from any cause in the Della
ware camp. They hold the record on
the border for northern troops.
Similar orders have been received
by the 1st Arkansas infantry to
whom we can give the same greeting.
Colonel James and his fine command
expect to 60 on the s. p. about Feb
ruary 10th. Like the Delaware,
some Of the boys have decided to cast
their lot with Deming people.
In this connection it might be we'll
to say that the soldiers Of Camp
Deming cannot be too highly praised
for their conduct as gentlemen.

PRESIDENCY OF 8. ". D. A.

One of the most profitable and
enjoyable meetings Of dentists ever
known in the southwest was held at
81 Paso this week.
The deliberations were very ably
presided over by DR.. M. ]. Moran, of
Deming, who was again offered the
presidency, but who modestly de-
clined, as he believes this high
honor should be passed around. DR..
Moran was appointed chairman of
the finance committee, less honor,
but more work than the president has
to do.
DR.. Moran's opening address
touched on four points, association,
organization, education and fratern-
ity, and was considered one Of the
big features Of the session. Dr.. Full
Ter, the chief ''head- liner" from New
Orleans, complimented the address
very highly.
Through the influence Of DR..
George D. Graham, Of the Demine
base hospital, DR.. Oliver, chief dental
surgeon Of the U. s. A. at Fort Bliss,

cises.

II. II. Jacobs, who has been trav-
cling over the western part Of the
United States during the last six
months arrived home Sunday after
noon, and is mighty glad to be back
in the sunshine land.
Mr.. Jacobs says: "After my trip
to Iowa, North Dakota, back through
Colorado, Idaho, Washington and
California, really must say that
these last few days look better to me
than all the rest" On the 18th Of
October he experienced one of the
worst blizxards North Dakota has
known in long time. One could not
zee a block ahead for the snow. From
the 9TH of November, when Mr.. Ja-
cobs reached Iowa, until the first Of
December it rained and was cold and
disagreeable all the time. He was
late arriving in Pendlcton, Oregon,
owing to the train having to plow
through deep snowdrifts. The two
weeks that he. spent in Oakland and
San Francisco were the coolest that
that country had experienced in
twenty-five years, fountains in the
city being covered with ice. When
Mr.. Jacobs got to Los Angeles he in
tended 10 20 ON down to San Diego
to visit friends, but says that he be-
gan sneexing, and the weather was
so cold that it made him blue, SO he
thought .Deming and sunshine for
me right now."
Speaking Of farming, Mr.. Jacobs
has 100 acres of land under culti-
cation in North Dakota, has also
improved raw land at Twin Falls,
idaho, and now ne is doing his best
to make this part Of New Mexico
blossom as the rose" His brother
in-law, 8. w. Haxen, is coming here
shortly from Twin Falls, Idaho, to
20 on the Sherman Jacobs place near
Deming, and Mr.. Gillard, who has
been for nine years on one Of Mr.. ia
cobs' North Dakota farms, i coming
to farm the home place here. Both
Of these men are AL farmers, both
are familiar with irrigation systems,
and both are sure to make good here.
The climatic and soil conditions
here are different from some other
states, the evaporation, for instance,
is much. greater, but man who will
apply himself and who will study the
conditions here can succeed.
Mr.. Jacobs says that he thinks
more Of the Mimbrcs Valley now than
he ever did before, and that every
time he leaves this country and
comes back to il he is more firmly
convinced that it has future second
to no other section in the United
States.
There are now 90 acres of the ia
cobs land in alfslfa, and he says that
Il is his intention to put in from 100
TO 15O acres this year in crops. he
has two pumping plants. and also a
share in the ditch association. His
best results have been obtained BY
using the corrugated irrigation rath-
er than to food the land. He also

President Wilson's address at Buf-

the whole world Is aware, placed the
responsibility Of the present great
sacrifice Of life and property to the
controlling powers Of the German ma
tion who for decades have been in
sane for world power.
He pictured az plainly as photog-

aim was not only to dictate terms to
labor, but to the humanity Of the
whole world, and force them to bow
to the mandates Of so-caIIed German
kultur, that mainly consists Of the
Hohenzolern family.
In plain though effective terms he
portrayed the advantages derived
from labor under free institutions,
from that dlsbursed from monarch
laI power where the craftsman ls
unable to rise In ability or wealth
above certain Standard.
He counseled the employe and en-
pIoyed to work in harmony and uni
bon, that the great war upon which
we have entered could be brought to
a speedy and honorable peace for the
benefit Of the Iaborino classes az
we'll as all other classes Of the
