CAUGHT SOLDIER DEsERTINO1


J. e. Altman and c. A. Freeman,
the former a private in the 134th in
fantry, the latter a discharged sold
Ter, were arrested last Tuesday night
by Chief Of Police Caldwell, Police
man Bob Putnam and Cattle Inspec-
tor John Parrott. The arrest was
made a few miles from. Columbus
near the Mexico line, towards which
the men were proceeding, and is be-
lieved that they intended to slip
across the border.
Altman was turned over to the mill
tary authorities and will have to
answer to a charge Of desertion. The
charge against Freeman will be that
Of aiding and abetting a deserter.
The two men when unprecedented
we're found to be armed with a re-
volver and two rifles, none Of them
army weapons. They were in civil
ian clothes. and we're on horseback,
They were not travelling the main
roads, but were cutting directly
across c0antry, cutting wire fences
at several places to let their mounts
through. 1t was this circumstance
that led to their arrest, as a farmer
phoned in to the police department
here complaining of their action, aud
the three officers at once set out on
their trail. The men had a mess kit
with them and were equipped with
blankets. They had $lO2 in money
between them.
Altman is said to have a wife here.
Freeman's discharge from service
was because Of bad eyes.

COUNTY HIRES FARM ACT.
Commissioners Sign Contract WITH
state Agricultural College for
Expert Advisor.
New Official Draws $2,AOO Annually
Only Half Of which Is Paid
by the COunEy.

AoA' n w OOOiey OL tue eAtCuoAVh
department Of the state agricultural
college was in Deming last Friday
in conference with the Luna county
commissioners with a view to the
employment by this county Of farm
ing or agricultural agent, a step al
most every county in the state has
already taken. The commissioners
after the conference closed con-
tract for such an agent, whom The
agricultural cOlge is to furnish in
the very near future, probably next
week.
The federal government is behind
the move for county farm advisors
to the extent that it is urging the
different counties to adopt the plan,
without giving out any actual orders
to that effect. The move is in line
with the national effort to raise more
food for the winning Of the war. and
is generally finding liberal aud
prompt support. At present RoOse-
welt, Lea and Curry counties are the
only ones in New Mexico that have
not employed such agents, aud ne
Prof. Cooley went direct from this
place to Roosevelt county 1t Is pos
sible that that county may be al
ready in line.
By the terms Of the contract sign
ed by the commissioners. the agent
will be paid an annual salary Of e.
400. OF this sum the state and
federal government will take cure of
half except in the frs. year, when
they will take care Of three -fourths
Of it. This lets the county off for
5000 the first year, but costs them
81, 200 a year thereafter The fed
eral government authorizes special
levy by the county after the first
year to meet the agents salary.
The contract merely specifies that
such an agent be furnished by the ag-
ricultural college, without naming
any particular party, so the commits
sioners do not yet know whom they
have hired. However, he must be
fully qualified for the place along
general lines and the board asked
Prof. Cooley that man be sent with
some knowledge Of farming by the
irrigation pump method, that being
the basis Of most farming in this
county. Prof. Cooley promised to
comply with this request as far as is
possible.
The agents duties will be to con-
fer with farmers in all parts Of the
county on the subject of crop raising
and stock raising, with a view to get
ting as greatly increased product as
possible. Every farmers individual
problems will be given attention as
the agent finds time to get to them,
and the county in general as we'll
The agent will have an office in Dem
ing, probably at the courthouse,
where he can be seen on certain days
Of the week. A part Of his duties
will be to furnish general and specific
information on farming topics to the
farmers Of the county through the
county press, so that those who fail
to see him individually can be taken
care of, in a measure at least.

at Denver. These figures shw that
in August, 1917, only $500 worth
Of goods were put out to the various
local branches. just now the goods
are going out at the rate Of mil
lion dollars a year.
In the amount Of work turned out
the Deming chapter is now running
second only to Albuquerque in this
state, according to Manager MOrey,
which is considerable of feather in
the cap Of the local organization.
There are only few towns in Colo
RADIO and Utah turning out more than
Deming and there are none in Wyo-
ming, the other state in the Denver
district that equal this place.
The entire output there is consumed
by the two base hospitals, which even
then call for more than can be sup
piled with the present available help,
Women are wanted to help at the
armory, and at the Hostess House,
where work is done every afternoon.
Gauze and surgical dressings are
made at the armory; hospital gar
ments for nurses, and muslin band
ages, are turned out at the Hostess
House. Sixteen thousand Of the
bandages have been turned in 10 the
hospitals in the past two months.
The income thus far has all been de-
rived from the Red Cross dances at
the aTmory.
Asked as to the best plan for fl
nancing the Red Cross work, Mr..
Swami recommended two plans, the
underwriting and the cumulative auc-
ton. BY the former monthly sub
scriptions are taken for stipulated
sums, regular contracts being sign
ed by the subscribers. By the auc-
tion plan articles Of various sorts,
even including animals, are sold at
auction, the money realized going to
the Red Cross. Each purchaser in
turn puts up the article at auction
and turns over the proceeds to the
fund. This has been worked with
great success in some places; but
the underwriting plan also has got
fine results. At Santa Fe the local
Red Cross raises 5000 monthly by
this plan.
Messrs. Morey, Swami and GanO
all Of whom were prominent IN the
business world prior to the war, have
deliberately given up their own pri-
yate affairs to help in the Red Cross
work without money and without
price. Mr.. Morey is the head Of th'
Morey Mercantile Co., a large Den
yer concern. Mr.. Swami is a bond
dealer in the same town. Mr.. GanC
is manufacturing merchant, also Of
Denver. The same applies to Edwin
II. Brown, field director, who wa'
an architect at Minneapolis befor'
he entered the Red Cross work.
All three OF the visiting Officials
were tremendously impressed by th'
efficiency displayed at the old bas'
hospital under the management o.
Col. o. A. Davis. The day for crit
icism Of that hospital has passed
they declared. They also stated tina
in their opinion no criticism Of tn
location Of the camp at this place i
justified.
The three officials left Thursda.
FOR Silver City, where they are work
ing the balance Of the week.

New Camp Sanitary Officer.

Major X. M. Peterson, camp sanl-
tary officer, has been promoted to
lieutenant-c colonelcy with command OF
the Tooth sanitary train. He is sue
ceeded by Capt. Gerhard A. Bading
Capt. Bading served two terms as
mayor Of Milwaukee before entering
the army, which is at least some AS
surance that he has sufficient abl-
ity to handle his new job properly.
lie ran for mayor there on the anti
Socialist ticket, and Milwaukee is the
strongest Socialist center in Ameri-
ca, so he must have stood pretty well
at home. 1t will take a good man to
handle the duties Of camp sanitary
officer as we'll rs Major Peterson
has handled them, but it looks as if
Capt. Bading should be the man to
do it.

CUT THAT OUT FOLKS!

Since we have all taken upon ourselves the task of watching one another--it looks that way anyhow-it is said that some are working with the apparent intention to force the food admin istration to issue meat ration cards. Perhaps they may not think they are when they neglect to observe the beefess and porkless days; but in our opinion, that is just exactly what they are doing.
 Due to the lack of transportation facility, the food administration rather than keep the meat in cold storage, allowed the people to ir- crease the meat rations but the days set aside as meatless should be observed By so doing we can keep up certain amount of meat ahead and when shipments come easier, there shall be some- thing to ship. Meanwhile if we fail to do as much, consumption shall soon deplete our cache as it were to be followed by meat ration cards. Let us comply with all the orders and we shall have no trouble; otherwise just as sure as any thing we'll go hungry.

LOGIC OF THE BOLSHEvikI,
(From the New Republic)

The problem of accounting the Bolshevik revolu- the Bolshevki themselves. What we have to explain IS not why they rose in revolt but why they achieved success They have acted after their kind and accord ing to definition For years they have stood apart from the other Russian Socialist parties and factions cultivatng in their isolation unbendng doctrinaire revolutionary creed. Their aim always an nstan taneous catastrophe social revolution political rev olution. which substituted republic an autocracy was for them merely stimulus, an index to what might be achieved Their inernatonalism amounted to color blindness; they and admit differences among the warning capitaistic governments They had always op- posed any cooperation with middle elements They had always advocated the dictatorship wageearnne Proletaria For this creed they had Siberia ex- He, and the czars 'necktie." One need not pause to ask why they acted on it this November. Englishmen fail to understand only because they had grown up in the belief that Socialist necessarily resembles MT Shaw or Mir. Sidney Webb
 In our bewiderment ascribe these yagaries to German gold German gold might explain why Lenine today cannot explain why for many long year they mad been doing things highly dangerous to themselves If it should turn out (here is proof of it) that the party has used German money should still contend that Tn It's exalted anacism it ready any means to its own end Like Mirabeau would say that it took money but did not sell itself I once met Lenine some ten years could fail to perceive the unbend lng' self-moved selfgeneraed fanaticsm of the man.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Yes, yes, news is news. man is arrested for something or other; that is news and as such, should appear in newspapers. But we should remember that in a community like ours, such news reaches every one within a short time anyhow, whether it appears in newspapers or not, and its publication inparts no news to those who may be interested. At the same time, it's publication may lead to prejudices, either for or against the accused, ending with a miscarriage
 justice. After a case has been disposed of discussion cannot hinder the law nor prejudice the peoples minds against the accused. These are the reasons why recent arrests have not been published. Not that our feeling didn't strongly protest against that silence; on the contrary it was for the showing up of the evil doers but we smothered it by promising to do so later.

< HARD JOB ON HAND.

Instruction are said to be ready for distri- button among the -Four Minute Men to start Q campaign against the teaching of hatred for our enemies in the war; The job may be possible to the four minute men, but hardly possible to the listeners and much less the thinking men or women, especially if they have any relatives on the front sending reports of what they witness It is all very we'll to say forget and forgive" and all that kind of nonsense; but when you are stabbed in the back; when your mother; wife or daughter is violated, your property destroyed and very liberty is threatened; to forget and for give is impossible to the average mind. When these things are done in the heat of passion; humanity can afford to be lenient; but in cold blood; hatred for the guilty is but natural and no preaching can change this feeling into forgive ness. It can only be waste of time to attempt it.

the cruel dominance of Nicholas. Conclusively the Bolsheviks have placed themselves in the aame category with the murderous Huns. Let the world cast them with autocracy into the same mold which the Allies have labeled 'annihilation' and be damned to them. Yes, the Bolsheviks redeemed their promise; but not to the Russian people; but rather to the Kaiser.

The semi-annual sociable at Holy Trinity Cathedral last evening was a most interesting and delightful af- fair There was a good attendance, notwithstanding that many persons were out of town and others were prevented from being present. The Dean spoke of the connection be- tween the maintenance of the Church at this time and the winning of the war, and read a communication from the Church War Commission an nouncing the raising of $600,000 to- lng to the armies and suggesting three things which the Church might help in towards victory-purchase of the Liberty Bonds, food conservation, and self-denial, response on behalf Of the Red Cross or any other de mand etc.
 Earnest and encouraging remarks were made by MT. F. F. w Lowle, Robert Scott, and others, and the suggestion that the church as a body help the government by the purchase of a hundred-dollar bond was enthusiastically adopted.
 Delicious light refreshments were served by the ladies while an hour was spent in getting better acquaint- ed The finishing-up of the basement as a Parish Hall was noted as a great improvement, and has been ac- complished without any expenes.
