whereas, as the doctor figures it. there
is really less than 100000, 900 pounds.
There is quite "A lot in Australia. but
not much of IL is available for use in
America owing to the fact that all the
allied ships are needed to carry other
supplies. Mr.. Wilson believes that
this false report has had a tendency to
keep down the price of wool, and says
that had il not been for this story and
for the fact that the government took
n hand, the price would have gone to 10
cents a pound or better. and might have
reached the dollar mark.
Regarding the conference at Wash
ingtOn, he says:
Our committee insisted hat the
price should be the price of April 18th,
present year but the committee refus-
ed to do this and made the price as of
July Both of last year, which is at least
10 cents per secured pound less than
April prices. After several days discus
sion we were unable to do anything with
them only make the price as of July
Both last. After considerable talk we
asked them to pay all charges incident
to the handling of the wool and we fl
nally got them to agree to pay all the
charges except freight and interest.
This will amount to an increase of
from two to three cents per grease
pound, which practically makes the
prices as of April 18th, for which we
contended. They have taken over the
entire wool clip of the country, includ-
ing the present clip. The government
reports show that there was in the
country as of April this year, 10000
o pounds OF wool"

capacity as publicity director Of the

The Deming branch Of the federal

squad Of laborers to the Dupont
powder works at Nashville, Tenn,
today. Labor Scout Smith will send
them out tonight to Albuquerque,

NINETY SEVENTH
COMING TO CODY
New Division 70 be FWmsd Here a
Once. Says Official Annpuncs-
ment BY General marth

A new division, the 07iA, win 10
formed at Camp Cody in the imme-
diate future, according 10 an official
announcement BY General March az
Washington the first Of the week.
Just what troops will compose the
new division was not announced, but
il is assumed here Chat part Of il
at least will be men from the new
draft. From what states they will
come was not indicated. The order,
means, however, that approximately
10000 men viii shortly be at Camp
Cody. II may be within the next two
weeks and it may not be until next
month, but the arrival Of the new
troops is moi far away, in all hkeli-
hood.
Since the departure Of the 34th
division hardly more than three
Thousand men have been quartered
at the camp, principally the quarter
master corps, the development bat
talon and the remonnt. No line
troops were left behind.

Deming fans have had narrow
escape from the honor Of having en-
iertained in their midst the seasons
world champions when the Chicago
Cubs stopped here two days last
spring to mop up the oath division
and Santa Rita teams. However,
few if any Of us can claim to belong
to the T-tOld-you-so' club, for the
Cubs didn't look like world cham
pions at that time. With a strong
pitching staff, good infield and a
fair Outfield, they looked good for
perhaps second place to fans here,
who however, always added the pro-
viso, If they keep Alexander" The
might Alex was due to 20 in the
draft, and he went right at the start
Of the season. And then the Cubs
rose up on their hind legs and clawed
their way through the National
league like mad. For the past week
the world has seen them contending
for baseball's supreme hOnors with
the American league winners, the
Boston Red Sox. Vaughn and Tyler,
who worked in the first game here,
have been doing all the pitching in
the big series and so far have out
pitched the best Boston could offer,
but have lost through failure Of their
teammates to produce hits when hits
meant runs. Sympathies Of DeIning
followers of the game are entirely
with the Cubs, even though few look
ed to see them where tLay are today.
To finish even a loser in the worlds
series is glory enough for anybOdy's
baseball team.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The influenza has abated to large
extent among the white people, but
it is still spreading among the col
ored people, particularly in certain
localities of the county.
All white schools of the county
may open on next Monday, the 4th
of October, except the Lynn Creek
Consolidated School. Have inst Wis
tied the Lynn Creek neighborhood,
and found the disease among the
white people.
The colored schools must remain
closed for another week. Should
there be neighborhood in which the
influenza does not exist, and the trus-
tees desire to open school, they take
matter up with me and the county
superintendent Of education before
opening.
J. direct that no school open. before
November 11th, where there is dan
ger Of spreading the disease.
Preaching services but not Sunday
School maybe held in the churches
Of the county, but especially sug-
gest that all buildings be we'll ven-
tilated.
On account of the disease still n.
ing prevalent among the colored peo-
pie, their churches must not be
opened until further notice.
I urge the use of handkerchiefs
when sneezing or coughing, as by
not taking this precaution tends to
spread the disease more than any
other way.
advise all parents to keep their
children from school if they have
colds, and certainly do so where they
have colds with fever.
That under such circumstances,
the children be kept away from
school during the epidemic.
