Joe Deckert, son of John Deckert,
well-known pioneer citizen and mer-
chant of Deming, took TO himself a
bride on July 9th at Camp Mabry,
Austin, Texas, in the person of Miss
Ruth Cox, daughter of s. A. Cox, the
prominent Spruce street grocer. This
is another wedding whose schedule
was speeded up by the war Joe was
in the June draft from Luna county
and left DENYING with his contingent
for Camp Mabry on June 10th. Last
week Miss Cox made a visit TO Aus
tin, with the usual fatal result-JOe
refused TO permit her to return home
without first changing her name
Both young people are well known
and very popular here, where they
have lived since childhood, and hun
dreds of friends wish them a happy
'ot together when the groom returns
from the capture Of Berlin. Joe is al
present student in the auto me-
chanics' training school at Camp
Mabry.

Sugar Shortage Cuts Soft Drinks.


Add horrors Of war: The sugar
shortage, maliciOusly brought about
by German submarines operating be-
tween Cuba and the Atlantic coast,
is going to result in many a parched
tongue in Deming, as well as else
where, before cool weather arrives to
assuage a thirst aggravated by the
late lamented official decease of J.
Barleycorn in all cantonment towns.
Since that sad event Demingites who
have not been satisfied with the vari-
Gus near-beer corrections have been
fooling their palates with coca cola,
pop, roOtbeer and other camouflage.
But nOwthe submarine has inserted
a fly into even that scanty ointment.
The pop and roOtbeer makers for two
or three weeks past have not been able
to get sugar to Manufacture their
product, and have been resorting to
a sugar substitute that has reduced
the sale Of those articles very heay-
lily. And now the last drops Of coca
cola are being drained from barrels
that cannot be replenished since the
big factory at Atlanta was forced to
close its doors a month ago for lack
Of sugar. The fountain men doubt
seriously if soft drink of any kind
will be obtainable by the end of sum
mer. SO far the near-beer is holding
out, which is the only ray of joy pen
etrating the general gloom.

provided from a special fund.
The dimensions of the ground to
be purchased is 227x418 and adjoins
the present school property ON the
west. For the erection of the one
story buildings, enc acre has been
donated for sites at Avoca and Wy
andotte plantation. If deemed neces-
sary a third building of similar
character will be constructed at the
north end Of Klingsville. It was the
policy of the committee to construct
none of the proposed buildings with
in one and one-half miles of the pres
ent school. 1t is the recommenda-
ton Of the committee that the plans
Of these smaller schools be for one
room, vestibuled buildings. No spe-
cifc plans were recommended for the
construction for the central building.
Prof. L. E. Law, principal of the
Morgan City school, and Prof. Charles
Gott, superintendent of the parish
schools, addressed the committee and
suggested the policy which was finally
adopted.
These gentlemen pointed out that
after a careful and exhaustive study
Of school conditions in this and other
communities it was, in their judg-
ment, unwise to construct plumber

the city. Such system made for
cumbersome administration and lack

of coordination for teachers and
pupils alike. They suggested the
plan whcih was accepted by the ad
visory body, as it appealed very
strohgly to them as measure which
would insure the greatest efficiency.
The schools at Avoca, Wyandotte
and possibly Klingsville, said Messrs.
Gott and Law, will amply take care
of the smaller children to whom at
this time the long walk to the pres
ent school is a more or less hardship.
The older children Of these outlying
districts could by reason of the ex-
cellent sidewalk facilities of Morgan
City walk to the central building with
no cause Of complaint. These gentle
men pointed out that many school
children ia the country districts walk
much further to their schools, using
the parish highways for their side
walk. It was their opinion the Board
Of School Directors would aid in
every way possible if the policy as
suggested by them was adopted. 1t

DUTIES OF u. S. NAVY NURSE.

The Committee on Public Informa
ton issues the following:
The romantic young girl, untrain-
ed but thrilled with the desire for
government hospital service, has
learned that smiles and sweet dis
position alqne are not so necessary
to the conservation of the lives of
"our boys" as a sound knowledge of
asepsis, the ability to recognize symp-
toms, and an understanding of dietet-
les, according to Mrs. L. S. H:gbee.
chief of the Navy Nurse Corps at
Washington. A sick man must be
kept happy, she says, bat there is no
happiness greater in illness than the
security of expert care.
Must Be Practical Nurse.
A girl may have Pickering dimples
in her cheek and the features of 4
movie queen; she may be able to fluff
up a pillow or write home to "a mans
family, but she must also know how
to dress his wounds, causing the min
imum of pain, ,and must know how to
move a fractured limb without
wrenching the newly set bones
apart" is the statement Of the Navy
nurse.
''It is common knowledge today
that the regulations for the appoint
ment or enrolment of reserve nurses
in the navy have been considerably
relaxed to meet the emergency de-
mand for thousands of nurses. Only
graduates of high schools and train
ing schools attached to hospitals num-
bering more than 100 beds are elig:-
BILE for the Regular Navy Nurse
Corps. The bars have been let down
enough to admit graduates of smaller
institutions and the educational re-
striction has been removed for the
reserves, but registration is retained
in the requirements.
"One might consider that the sick
sailor is the sole responsibility of the
member of the Navy Nurse Corps.
No indeed; her work is limitless. She
must be prepared to mother the sick
little native urchins on the tropical
stands of the Pacific Ocean and also
to mother the parents, who are moth
ing more than children Of ,larger
Stature. She must be trained exec
utive, able to instruct the sailors as
signed to the Navy Hospital Corps.
Inexhaust.ble patience and tact are

The navy nurse co-operates with the

her capable fingers may Itch to finish
the task which the new student
bungles with his amateurish mex

kindly suggestion.

The nurse must be a baby well

very important part 'in the native
fair by setting up miniature hospital

Army Corps And Red
Cross Want Twenty
Thousand Nurse Re-
Cruits
An Opportunity For Service
Comparable To That Rem
dered By Soldiers And
Sailors

In, England they call them butch
er's bills. Over here we know them
as casualty lists. But we don't really
know them at all-yet. We haven't
begun to realize what they mean.
Casualty Lists! Try to imagine
what they do mean. Break through
the dull, comfortable miasma around
your every day existence and picture
what it's like over there.
Suppose you yourself were wound
ed. Suppose you were picked up,
limp and bleeding, trandled on
stretcher and jolted in an ambulance.
And suppose you had to lie in the
hospital without care, without water,
without a word of cheer-because
the nurses were too few Would you
feel that the people back home were
doing their best by you?
Multiply that imaginary case by a
huhdred, by thousand, by tens Of
thousands-for that is what our casu-
atty lists may mean before the Hun
is hurled into the Rhine-and picture
the effect of lack of nurses. Would
you have our boys feel the way you
would feel in such a case?
Here is your chance to answer:
Train To Be a Nurse.
The Army Corps and the Red Cross
want twenty thousand-2O,O O,OOO-re.
cruits. They need them just as soon
as they can get them.
If you want to render a service
comparable with that rendered by
our soldiers and sailors, your first
duty is to enter a training school now
and your second to stay there till you
are graduated.
Our American standards for nurses
are the highest in the world. We are
sending over only graduates-ex-
perts. That S why it is essential that
you start your training at once.
There are several important hos
pltals IN the country that have ar
ranged two-year courses for college
graduates. No one of these hospitals
is in the States of Maryland, Cali
fornia or Illinois, where state laws
demand the full three year course. In
New York City, for example, Belle
vue and the Presbyterian, which have
already sent hundreds of nurses over
seas, are re-arranging their curricul-
um to suit these special pesent-day
conditions. Do not hesitate because
the two or three years seem so long
and your certificate so far off. The
war will be long. And you must re-
members that the period of recon-
struction will demand as much from
our nurses as these days Of foreign
service.
