more easily handled than the Egyp-

Possibly the most material arEu-
ment used by the promoters. that
short staple has a much more general
market than the Egyptian and that its
price is not dependent upon demand
from a very few industries. Just how

keep their product uncontaminated

are claims that short staple at Yuma

Col. Carl a. Martin. commanding
Camp Cody. authorized the following
statement for publication in the FL
Paso Herald:
I This is the time Of all others. when
we are being successful in France
that every man should do just a little
I bit more than he ever did before 10
hasten the war to a successful con-
clusion.
when the enemy shows signs Of
weakening OF morale. confusion, IN
/ certainty and n general appearance OF
a loss OF confidence. this is the time
for us 10 redouble our efforts and
drive the defeat home.
Save Time. Save Money.
For every day that the war con-
enormous sum. This money. directly
or indirectly. comes from the pockets
Of the people.
by every day the war is short
ened. the amount Of money expended
will be reduced Just that much, and
by individuals in whatever capacity
they may be serving. Will be CORE
spondingly reduced.
The most direct way the individ-
udl CIVILIAN WAos OE reason OF age OF

ing on the firing line. is to subscribe
Just little more literally than he
first thought he could to the liberty
loan"
Concerning the quarantine. Col
Martin said;
"Fiu" Is Kept Down
AS soon as danger appeared. the
necessary sanitary measures were in
stituted to prevent n spread OF in
fluenza. which was supplemented by
an efficient and prompt cooperation
of the civil authorities Of Deming.
This has resulted in keeping the num-
Der of cases down TO a minimum.
The people Of Deming are to be
congratulated on having a mayor and
health officer who can recognize the
situation and turn out the fire de-
partment before the fire had gained
too much Roadway.
There are only two camps in the
United States with fewer cases OF in
fluenza and only one where there
have been a smaller number Of
deaths"
Concerning the present status of
