PLANS WHlRL WIND wIMDUP
FOR War STAMP CAMPAIGN
Chairman NOrdhaus Wants to Keen
Luna County in the Lead In New
AgxIO Stamp Sales

Chairman =. l.. Nordhaus Of tho
Luna county W. s. S. committee has
ya'led meeting Of that organization
at the Deming club next Tuesday
morning at 10 O'Clock, the occasion
for The call being The Raming Of
"l'erslling Day. next Friday, Sept.
18th. as the day on which the ma
ton at large will make IN effort to
reach lis quota on war stamp sales
and pledges.
Luna county has already "done
herself prondY in the matter Of war
stamps, 50 far as the pledges are
concerned in fact for some time
after the campaign Of last June this
was the only county in New Mexico
o reach It's quota Of pledges. Even
nowonly one other county-Socorro
has gone 'over the top with
Luna, which has more than sixty
seven thousand dollars worth OF
pledges already converted into ac-
tual sales. Only one other county is
ahead Of that mark-Colfax, which
has passed the $4,000 mark by a
small margin. Grant county, rated
the richest county in the state and
with considerably larger popula-
lion, has only about half the amount
in sales reported in Luna county.
Despite this fine showing, how
ever, Mr. Nordhaus is not satisfied.
lie wants to keep Luna definitely in
the lead in this state on w. S. s.
sales and he wants to increase the
pledges as much as possible. In this
desire the committee as a whole
sharea nd they will meet Tuesday
morning to form ,lans for a whir'-
wind campaign on "Pershing Day"
in which it is aimed to canvass every
person who has not already pledged
the purchase of stamps and as many
as possible of the signers, who will
be aked TO increase their pledges.
Luna county must not be allowed 10
drop from first place in the stamp
campaign, aud our guess is that she
will continue TO hold the honors for
New Mexico, right down to the first
Of the year, which is the INIT set for
the fulfilling of all pledges.
All members Of the W. S. S. com
mittee are asked to be on hand at the
Deming club promptly at ten o'clock
Tuesday morning.

OBJECTS TO KICKS ON
SANITARY CONDITIONS
Health Officer vickers Declares
City Is In Better Shape Now
Than Ever Before

Relative to sanitary conditions in
Deming, New Mexico, there are a
few things that might be said in
Justice TO those who are responsible.
There has never been time in the
history of Deming when there was
less sickness contracted here, and
imported contagious diseases have
been quarantined in the city hospi-
tai. The city has gone to much ex-
pense to maintain it to prevent i'm
portation of epedemies.
Mr.. Bolich has done more this
summer to drain streets and remove
fly breeding places than has ever
been done before, and If there are
any places left it is because he has
not been able TO get TO il rs yet.
There never has been time when
garbage was gathered as now and if
any house has garbage in contain
er that one man can handle and will
have il on the street or alley on
Friday of each week il will be re-
moved, and if it is missed telephone
the CITY Hall.
Now if some kicker instead Of
writing stuff that is not true for the
newspapers, will call the Sanitary
Inspector, telephone 3O3, Mr. Bar
racks will gladly call for him with an
automobile and take him around,
and if he can show dirty resiau-
rant We win close it and will do
everything that is fair and right to
remedy any condition.
We want to do our best 10 make
sanitary conditions as good as We
can and there is way to get NJ IL,
but printing untrue stuff in the
newspapers is NOT the way.

Many of the items for which prices
are published are already govern
ment-conirolled, with the price, both
retail and wholesale, fixed at figures
that cannot be changed except ON
orders from the national food ad-
mmisiIation; SO in good many
eases the work of the board was
very simple. The largest variation
from prices heretofore current was
~ the case Of corn I our and barley
flour which has been sold by local
retailers at Zoe a pound The price
was fixed at see for the present
wetk. This was one of the very
few items to which any objection
was Offered b, the retailers repre-
sentative to the price fixed This
objection was withdrawn, however,
before the price was finally set.
A hsl Of prices set by the Albu-
quorque board was submitted by Mr.
Sherman to the board, and with very
few exceptions the prices fixed fol-
low the Albuquerque figures very
The price given in the published
list for the consumer is the maxi
mum that should be paid; there is
Of course no limitation upon the
dealer who wants to charge less,
except that he cannot charge less
Than the minimum Wholesale figure,
or actual cost of the article. Con-
sumcrs are urged to consult this list
constantly and to report to the
county food administrator or to any
Of the board any violations that may
omc to their notice. Mr.. sherman

Nh such eases will be dealt with.

Moreover, the fire limits themselves

before the board Tuesday night with
the statement that he thought the
limits ought to be extended south on
Gold and Silver avenues as far a.

fronts. The board thought so too.
apparently, for they proceeded to
not only adopt Mr.. DeI.aunay's Sug.
gesiion but to improve upon il by
large margin. They moved the limit,
south 10 Ash, as he asked. but in
stead Of confining the change to God

Ruby on the east and Slate on the
west, which takes in practically the
whole town south to Ash. This is
three blocks south Of the present

either talk turkey or quit the rOOst
With an offer of $4,000 from Pro
moter Bill Wellman. of New York, in
his hands, il is Jess move to either
consent to a match with Fred Fulton,
foremost challenger, or invent some
brand new alibi. If Jess can do the
latter he is entitled to some credit,
but the fact of the matter is Bill Well.
mans offer is about the thing to force
the big champion into match.
Wellman wants to stage his bout
over the 45-roUnd route, in either
Reno or Carson City, New. The sum
Of the offer will be paid forthwith
into the hands Of Jack Johnson's con
queror if he accepts. Nothing has
been said about remuneration for
"Ferocious Fred" but indications are
he will be Well taken care Of. for
Wellman has made something of a
reputation in the way of spending
money for things he wants.
The main drawback TO the whole af-
fair is that Wellman wants Fred to
go a little slower in his self-appOint-
ed task Of effacing all the promising
heavyweights. OF course, il some
bloke should come along and break
Fred's streak of luck, it would be
tough shedding for Wellmau's mill,
and that, after al, is the big thing.
Fulton has two bouts scheduled for
the nearby dates. Friday night he is
billed for a performance with Billy
jMske, at St. Paul. Frank oMran is on
his program for February 81 a de
feat at the hands of either Of these
would necessitate change in the
plans Of Wellman.
