DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN

ent time, it will become necessary
for business over the country to be

ule, and even those who might be
opposed to it, will have to set their
time with that of the government.
However, in this state sentiment
seems to be strongly in favor of the
change

Hot Air Boosting

1t takes more than a calm, eX-
act judicial statement about a
town to get under the hide of a
stranger. He seems to need a
considerable amount of that rari-
fed, sublimated hot air which
comes of super-confidence, to
make him sit erect and vouchsafe
consideration.
Tell a stranger that Lordsburg
is a fine town for its size, and he
won't even try 10 get the right
angle of vision to agree with you
You'd be telling the unvarished
truth, all right; but the chances
are that your stranger wants the
truth vanished with a brilliant
hue-brilliant enough to make
him see d rainbow. If you rub
in the persihage you viii make
him realize that where there is
so much confidence there is must
be a reason for it Changing
the metaphor, he will be made to
think that where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire.
The shooting off of hot air
seems to be the one sure kind of
publicity that unfailingly attracts
attention. A plain, truthful
statement, made iu a aiguihed
gentlemanly way, will iustilI con
vicJion in a gathering of scien-
fists or other highbrows who are
built that way; but the average
person wants more than the bare
facts. He wants eXaggeration,
hot air, and he gets it.
Lordsburg is the most glorious,
grand, noble, majestic, sublime,
sparkling, scintillant, dazzling,
etfulgent and radiant town in
New Mexico. Tel your stranger
friend something like that, and
then proceed to prove it, and you
will get under his skin, if not his
skull.
A certain amount Of hot air
is necessary in life-it prevents
that cool reception that freezes
the blood.

Flowing end Mining

The basic industries are VIM
ing the war. Flowing and mining
are more important during this
great conflict than all other activ-
tiles. OF course, both industries
were basic from primitive times,
but often have been more or less
in the back ground. Man began
to advance in living conditions
as agriculture developed, and
what he took from the caves
the first rudiments of mining
aided him in tilling the soil. The
more ore he found under the
ground, the better the weapons
he was able to fashion, so that
the advance of civilization can
truthfully be said to have been
based on what man took from the
soil, in agriculture and mining.
All arts and sciences grew from
these two branches.
