Demlnu the Best Place Yet

There are agitators everywhere,
No matter where You go;
From CALIFORNIA; sunny cline
70 the land of sleet and snow.
You can meet the grouchy customer
In city, town or village,
Ever with his hammer out,
4 towns good name to pillage.
Now here in Deming city,
You will find Il few have strayed
Like cattle from their pasture fold.
Into our "sunny glade
They have come from all creation
70 visit Deming city;
With "chip upon their shoulders
Which is sad, aud more's the pity.
They visit dear Camp Cody
With its regulated rules,
And slur the routine, right and left,
Like flabbergasted fools
They think that Uncle Sammy
Is short on regulation,
While they talk about the "por dear
boys"
Not having vacation
wonder if theJ think the war
Is o pleasant "old maids tea,
To invite our boys to sip awhile
Then say, "Good night, you're
free"
They sawtcr thru the Deming stores,
Pricing goods they find;
Aud when they think the price Too
high,
They speak iA words unkind.
The cafes, too, and restaurants
Come in for their big share
OF outside criticism.
But do these knockers carel
The weather too "is awful
The dnst gets in their nose,
And mercyl mercyl but they snort
And fault-find ~ time goes.
Now let me tell you, friends o mine
For I'm stranger here,
And know what ! am shouting
Ia English broad and clear
The prices here in Deming
Are lower than at your homes;
And more good goods your money
buys
For a whole lot fewer ''5ones".
I've travelled far from coast TO coast
And intelligently can compare;
The prices here with those afar,
And find Them fair and square

We hear much of the standard of
living, and that what q man earns now
does not buy as much as it used to.
Well, what else does he expect? Who
is paying for this war, and who sup
ports the boys on the front? Why,
everybody does, by simply living on
less than he used to live on, says Ohio
State Journal. 1t is the difference be-
tween the standard of living now and
the standard before the war that is
paying for u part in the battle for
democracy. Where do you suppose the
$50 a month paid the soldier boys and
the cost of their food and clothes come
from? Out of the air? No, indeed.
It all comes from the self-denial of pa
triotic men and women who accept the
burdens of the war days without muir
muir or complaint. This nation is
weakened by extravaganza and profig-
acy. 1t is strengthened by self-denial
and economic living. The duty of a
true American is as plain as a noun
tainside.

Now that saving coal is a topic Of
nationwide discussion attention Is
naturally directed to the part in saw
ing coal which is played by the auto
mobile. There are more than 100000
passenger cars of this description in
the United States and half a million
motortrucks, each one of which runs
on an average of 1000 miles a year.
Suppose the average number of pas
sengers carried is three. In that case
motor vehicles last year carried 12,-
100000 passengers 10000, DOC, 900 miles.
1t would have taken a huge quantity
of coal to have carried these people in
railway ears or street cars or interur-
ban trolleys, not deriving their power
from waterfalls.

SAVING A TREE.

One of the newer American rhymers
has said: "Poets are men like you and
me, but only God can make a tree"
A great tree, a tree of beauty or a use
full tree, may equally inspire this rev
erent regard. In California, where
trees of each of these classes abound,
they are especially appreciated. An
instance of this is shown in the re-
markable effort now being made to
save the life of what is called south
ern California's most famous tree.
The tree is suffering from a Inysteri-
Ous ailment that has bafiled all the
loci. tree doctors, and brought to its
aid a number of consulting experts of
high rank. They are endeavoring with
probe and microscope to diagnose
the disease that threatens death to the
pioneer among the millions of citrus
trees of that section of the state. The
ailing tree Is a wonder tree. 1t bore
the first navel orange ever grown in
the United States. 1t is credited with
being the parent of groves producing
S67, 100000 worth of fruit annually.
The United States experiment station
and the agricultural department of the
University of California have united
In the attempt to prolong the trees
life, and these efforts of science to To-
cate and combat the malady will be
followed by many thousands to whom
all trees are dear.

SUPPOSE SHE GAVE HER
ICE MONEY ALONE.

Editors Pleasantville Press:-
| know a woman who refused 10c
per week, or even a sc piece, for the
Red Cross, and who takes a very
large piece of ice at this season of
the year; and surely the same woman
knows it is a fact, not a fancy, that
people are actually starving and many
are still naked. whom the Red Cross
helps and expects to continue to help.
1t is almost unbelievable, but nev-
ertheless true, that people here in
Pleasantville are feeding two or three
dogs-and back a little there are plac-
es where they seem to have a small
army of them, They must eat some
thing and are they necessary? In
this time of food conservation, why
not eliminate dogs? They are surely
not a necessity especially where more
than one is kept.

WHAT IN THE WORLD is THAT
By J. Norman Shinn.

A patient in a New Jersey Sanitor-
chair, wrapped in blankets, reading
"The Quiet Hour" and learning of
the mistakes he had made in the care
of his body in the past. "a fool and
his health are soon parted" he sighed,
as he made resolutions as to the fu-
ture.
While meditating, he fell asleep and
forgot his troubles, real and imaginary,
for an hour. AS he was drowsily op-
ening his eyes his companions heard
him exclaim, What in the world is
that?" as if in amazement, and they
noticed his staring eyes.
The creature he saw on a distant
hill was, indeed, one to cause awe Its
body was much larger than an ele-
plant and its numerous long striped
legs walked right over the tall trees;
its wings were the size of a cup defen-
der's sails and it's immense bill was
shaped like a dagger and had teeth
like a saw.
Buzz-z-z-z-z /! went the Jersey mos
quito, as it flew from his spectacles.
Throwing a perfectly good Ingersoll
watch at it, he laughingly remarked,
"That 'skeeter' sure did have me
guessing. 1t was so close to my eyes
that it looked bigger than a house.
But it has taught me a lesson. because
it's the same way with u troubles;
the closer they are to us the bigger
they look-when they are right on top
of us they look so big and dangerous
and a short time afterwards, when
they are farther away from us, we
laugh at them because they were SO
small"
Note-The Ingersoll watch wasn't
injured.

There are people in America who help
their country with n hand and hinder
it with the other. They give a dollar
to forward the nations cause, then
turn around and waste a dollar. They
give the kaiser a good round cussing
and in the next breath lambast the
administration, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. Others are as idle from
the patriotic standpoint as a painted
ship upon a painted ocean,. They are
like the Church of the Laodiceans, re-
buked by the Lord in the Revelation
of st. John: ST know thy works that
thou are neither cold not hot I would
thou vert cold or hot. So then be-
cause thou are lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, l will spue thee out of
my mouth" Americanism is known
by its works and lukewarm patriotism
is abomination.

Now that compulsory rationing IS
beginning in England and the British
food controller says he foresees long
lines of people waiting in bitter wealth
er to draw their daily supply of neces-
saries of life, it should be realized by
Americans who may have doubted the
fact before that there is moral COM
pulsion upon patriotic pc 'ple on this

Tartar women in the far Russian
provinces are dropping the veil with
which hitherto they have been obliged
to conceal their faces. This war, be-
gun by autocracy to strengthen its
hold on the world, is gradually but
surely awakening the desire for de-
mocracy and individual liberty every
where, no surer sign Of it being given
than the emancipation of Eastern
women from the tyrannical customs
by which they have been virtually life
prisoners.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.

AS the New York World points out,
the unifcation of the railroads of the
country under government operation
removes the greatest obstacle to coun-
trywide adoption of the daylight saw
ing plan. With all the railroads under
government control it would be a SIM
pie matter to make the schedules CO.
form to the new time created by put
ting the clocks one hour ahead, as
provided for in the bill passed by the
senate and soon to go before the house
for concurrence. In fact, the daylight
saving plan must be applied nationally
in order to be a success; its adoption
by scattered communities merely re-
suits in confusion and bother. In all
the European countries in which it has
been adopted it has resulted in enor-
nous savings in fuel and artificial
light and in greatly increased produc-
ton, and experts are of the opinion
that the gains in both directions would
be even greater in the United States.
The anne necessities of war which
have driven other countries to 1t prob
ably will force the United States into
line, but whether as q war measure or
as a practical business %expedient, the
daylight saving plan is a sound and
sensible proposition, and its adoption
would be a great benefit to the country
liz any event.

age and waste through sheer careless
ness il the United States last year

100000 gallons more than the govern
ment's requirement for war purposes

Conscientious directors in Great

they ought, as voluntary martyrs, be
willing to sacrifice something for
conscience sake. Probably, however,
their martyrd9m is not of that brand,
and they will complain of the injus-
tice done them.
