Morrow county must not 60 into the YELLOW

three other counties of the State it is not vet over
the top. The State Executive Committee has re-
quested local executive committees to send in for

FIRST BASEBALL GAME SUNDAY
Santa RItans and Camp Team In
Practice Game for Coming of Cubs.

As preparedness measure against
the advance Of the terrible Chicago
Cubs, who are expected to make q
direct frontal attack on the defend
ers of Camp Cody on April 6 and
7, the Cody team and Bill Burns
Santa Rita bunch, who are TO man
the defenses on those days, will en-
gage in tuning-up game at the
stadium next Sunday afternoon at
! o'clock, to which the public will
be admitted without the formality Of
passes. II is likely that Burns will
pitch at least a part Of the game for
the Santa Ritans. Major Crimmins
has not given out the lineup of the
soldiers.
This game will afford an opportun-
ity to get a line on the respective mer-
its of the two teams that are to face
the Cubs, and will doubtless draw
heavy attendance Of local fans
The soldiers, Of course, can he de-
pended upon to be on hand in force

MASS Meeting SCALED
Citizens WIN Discuss Plans for Com
Ing Cleanup Week at Cody
Theatre This Afternoon.
Chamber Of Commerce and City
Council IOIn In Summons to Heed
Health Departments Call.

Following q meeting Of the Cham
her Of Commerce Wednesday morn
ing that body and the city council are
collaborating in a call for a mass
meeting at the Cody theatre this
afternoon at 3 o'clock to discuss
ways and means Of complying with
the health departments call for
cleanup in Deming and to prepare
plans to accomplish the same in the
most thorough manner possible.
City Health Officer Chapman, Col.
Peterson of the army sanitary de-
partment and otker leaders in the
movement for a flyless town will ad-
dress the meeting, and instructions
of the plainest sort will be issued to
the public. Those who are in doubt
as to just what will be expected OF
them in the coming cleanup should
not fail to be on hand, for they will
have no reason for misunderstanding
the situation afterward.
One of the things everybody pres
ent will probably learn is that boil
health departments are in the mos
deadly earnest in their requirement.
and that no unjustifiable delay vii
be tolerated. The fly season is al
ready at hand; the work now jus
starting should have been under wa.
six weeks ago in this city as it wa
at the camp. It's certainly unreason
able to expect the army to remov
: all chance of disease at the cam
only to stand the chance Of infectio
from nnhealthful conditions in th
. city. Mr.. Chapman's department
r in full accord with the camp sam
/, tary officials and his effective wor
. thus far has won their unreserve
q commcndation. They make no bone
v of stating that the experimental stae
'e has passed, so far as Mr.. Chapma
,l is concerned, and that he has deli'
y cred the goods one hundred per Gel
10 up to this time, so far as co-ope'
n alton with them is concerned.
,t One of the most difficul, problem
IN in connection with the cleanup can
n paign is the matter of getting Il
" dirt hauled away after it is reaC
q, for the wagons. II enough wagol
r. can be enlisted in the work il W
te greatly simplify matters.

SCOTTISH RITE CLASS RETURNS
No Place Secured as Yet to Hold
Annual Banquet Here.

The special train ON which two
hundred Scottish Rite candidates
from Camp Cody and Deming went
to Santa Fe last Saturday returned
this morning hearing the whole
bunch, tired, bnt happy and un-
scathed. The class at Santa Fe was
the largest in the history Of the state,
POI in all and go of the class took the
Shriner work at Albuquerque on the
way home.
Chief Justice Hanna Of the state
of New Mexico who is at the head OF
the state Scottish Rite organization
wired the Harvey house here yester-
day to arrange for the annual feasI
of unleavened bread and lamb, whicl
| is scheduled for next Thursday, the
28th. The Harvey people, however
were unable to make arrangements
for the affair, and no place for I
has yet been secured. A fine chance
is here presented to some ladies' or
ganization to handle the feast, which
the state organization is very anxious
shall go through on schedule, regard
ing Il as very important that tn
new members at the camp get to SCI
the Scottish Rite services once be
fore they go "across." Anyone wish
ing to handle the banquet shoul'
communicate at once with A. W. Pol
lard or with any local member of th
order, and full particulars will b
furnished. Il should he a matter o
pride TO Deming TO see that there !
no hitch in the arrangements for tn
biggest event in the local Scottis
Rite calendar.

With the signing Of Jess Willard and
Fred Fulton at Kansas City last week
for heavyweight che pionship hai-
tie, Deming's hopes Of staging that
classic have arisen again, especially
as the place Of the battle was lcfl
open in the articles Of agreement, TO
be determined later. P. W. Turner,
who has been after the hattie for

on receipt Of the news, is positive
that Fulton and his manager, Mike
Collins, prefer Deming to any other
place as the scene Of the encounter
and believes that If Willard win list
en- 10 reason the fight may be staged
here July 4th. That such an attne-
ton would draw the fans here from
both coasts goes without saying, for
this is the only big card in sight
in the heavyweight ranks, unless Jack

Cody Sick Rate Decreases.

A steady improvement in health
conditions at Camp Cidy is evidenced
in the official reports for the week
ending March s, recently issued. For
that week the percentage of ineffeet.
ives from all causes combined was
only 35.2 per 1000. Only six camps
in the country had a lower rate for
the week, and only three had fewer
admissions to the hospitals. The rate
is steadily dropping and at present
there are less than 33 sick soldiers
To the thousand. Pneumonia is stead
lily diminishing as the hospitals gain
experience in combating it, as are
all other diseases. There was only
one death in the camp last week.

Hiuh Schools Turn at Isis.

Manager Boyd Hawkins Of the Isis
followed up his recent free matinee
for the grade school children with a
similar treat for the high school stu
dents Wednesday afternoon. G.es
Miscrables," the super-classic novel
by Victor Hugo, was the attraction,
fitting nicely into the regular school
work in modsrn literature. "Les
Miscrables" has been filmed heveral
times before, but never before has
the intense interest of the worlds
greatest novel been maintained in the
screen story. The students enjoyed
their treat as thoroughly, if perhaps
less demonstratively, as did th'
smaller children.

WHOSE WIFE IS THIs7
RISK BUREAU INQUIRIES
Woman Asking Allotment from Cody
Soldier Turns Out TO be Living
on Two AIlOlments.

Threads of II case that is occupy
ing the attention Of officials Of the
war risk office at Washington just
now are being picked up in South
Carolina and California, clear across
the continent from each other, and
this week one was picked up at
Camp Cody, half way between, rough
ly speaking. The case is that of
one Mrs. Coble, Hooker, Mcclellan,
or whatever her name may eventu-
ally turn ont to be, who seems TO
have hit upon a get-rich-quick
scheme that rivals any yet invented
by George Randolph Chester, of J.
Rufus Wallingford fame. For the
purposes of this story we will call
her Mrs. Mcclellan.
Mrs. Mcclellan has been drawing
an allotment from the government for
each of two different men To whom
she has been married in the past, to
! each of whom she is still married.
She is also still married 10 Private

secure another allotment on his ac-
count. The two other husbands arc

ing with Hooker That her multiple'
martial relations did not prey on he
mind greatly is shown by the fac
. that she kept Hocker's and Noble
marriage certificates hanging side b,

Mrs. Mcclellan had started divorc
proceedings against Mcclellan a
Portland Ore, but did not complet
them. She was similarly negligen

him q nationwide repute, visited the
first OF the week with his brother,

who killed P. II. Burke, service car
driver, near Separ several weeks ago,

Jury was out two hours. The trial
began Monday, the first day being
entirely occupied with the empaneling
Of the jury. The trial proper began

against the men was for murder in

the soldiers to drive them to Rodeo,
Just across the Arizona hne. Ar
irving at their destination a dispute
is alleged to have arisen over the
payment Of the automobile hire.
The two soldiers claimed that
Burke attempted to draw a gun and
that they shot in self defense. After
the shooting they carried the body
short distance into the country and
then threw il in a clump of mesquite
bushes by the side Of the road. They
proceeded in the dead mans car tC
Separ, a Southern Pacific siding, ant
from there rode into III PasO on {
freight train, where they were ap'
pretended and brought back here t.

BIG CLEANUP DRIVE
Health OifIcsr Chapman Calls toT
Weeks Campaign to Maks
DsmlnD Spollals Tewn.
BEGINS TODAV-eMDs MARCH 20
Provost Guard over Several Places
Of Business Emphasize Fact De-
parlment Is In Earnest.

The big drive for a dirtlesa, n.y.
less Deming started today. Acting
in the absence Of Mayor NOrdhaus,
City Health Officer N. II. Chapman
issued a call Tuesday for cleanup
week beginning today, the 92d, ana
continuing till the 10Th. The clean
town movement is expected to get an
impetus ut the mass meeting today
that will carry il right through the
defenses of NJ. Fly and make that
pestiferous gent very scarce here
abouts the whole summer long.
This is 10 be a real cleanup and
Mr. Chapman has made It very plain
that no halfway measures will be-
tolerated by the department. With
in the next seven days every piece Of
property is expected TO be made clean
ienouEh to bear a joint inspection by
the army and city sanitary depart
ments. which will then be made, and
serious results will ensne to slas~-
ers, regardless of race, color or prev
ious condition of servitnde. The
army has asked for dirtless town,
and the city is determined that the
n
army's request shall be granted ful-
ly and completely, not merely be-
cause il is the army that requests
it but because the army is right IN
requesting it.
Mr.. Chapman reports that practl'
cally all Deming citizens are show
ing the right spirit toward the ordel
when il is made clear to them. Som
few have failed to recognize the nrg
ency Of the call and in few case
the departments persistent demand
for better sanitary conditions hav
been ignored till extreme masures be
came necessary. At Mr.. Chapman
request the military authorities plac
ed provost guards in front Of on
grocery and one bakery, and sot
drink stand barely eluded the guar
by closing its doors and immediate
" cleaning mp. Tuesday two res
tnurants drew the same treatmen
The victims in all cases took the pen
hlty in good spirit and went immedi
ately to work to meet requirements,
Within the next week everybody
expected to clean up his premise
thaEOughly including half Of the bac
alley, and to have trash ready Il
the wagons. The city has arrange
with Dan McCauley TO provide wal
ons to haul away the dirt, but tn
service must be paid for by the cit
zens themselves. II is possible ali
that army trucks will help get rid
the dirt.
The primary object Uf the can
paign, of course, is to make the i
spectiOn or spread Of disease in Der
ing or at the camp this summer
impossibility. The greatest corolla
to this proposition is to eliminate I
fly and the completeness with whi
this is done will measure the sn
cess achieved.
The Deming Sanitary Associate
will cooperate in the cleanup NOV
ment and will also make Il q spec
point ia see that conditions are ke
mp TO the mark afierward. Consta
inspection will he the rule all SUI
