sun porch to the rear, which In sum.
mer makes an attractive breakfast
room, and adds to the sense of spa
ciousness of the dining room. Toward
the other side of the house Is the
kitchen, which also is Of good size
and is designed to accommodate the
most modern kitchen equipment, so
placed as to bring the greatest eff.
cheney. To the rear Of the kitchen is
q porch, leading to the back yard.
The bedrooms are along one side OF
rhe house, one adjoining the living
room, the other to the back Of the
house. Between the two bedrooms is
the bathroom, which opens off hall
that connects the bedrooms. Double
doors lead from the rear bedroom to
the sleeping porch.
Thus 1t will be seen that although
this would be termed a five-room
house, 1t really is much larger.
The graceful lines of this house,
with the opportunity afforded for
window boxes and flower beds and
shrubs surrounding 1t. make it par.
ticularly attractive from the outside.
This advance In bungalow design
embodies the ideas of a number Of ar
chitects, who have devoted much
study to designing small homes. This
type Of home is engaging the atten.
ton of the leading members Of the
architectural profession more and
more, as those who build homes now
adays have learned that little
money spent for advice from expert
enced and capable architects Is worth
while.
Compact Arrangement.
The design and floor plan are recon.
mended for study to those who intend
to build. The more they are studied
the more 1t will be found that here
is an excellent design for the family
that will build home of moderate
size. 1t Is compact in arrangement,
has all of what is generally termed
"the modern conveniences" and leaves
little to be desired in appearance.
Just one word about the desirable
ity of building this year. The cessa-

Getting Rid of Colds

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No natter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle ago or older
should go to bed and stay in bed UNI
til fully recovered. 1t is better to
stay in bed three days at tho start
than three weeks later on. Obtainable
everywhere. (adv.)

MAKE SURE WATER SUPPLY
s4s rs SAFE

Water for domestic use should be
clear, lustrous, odorless, colorless
wholesome, soft, neither strongly acid
nor alkaline, and its temperature for
general farm purposes should be &c
degrees F. These characteristics
however, must never be deemed proof
of purity; says Farmers Bulletin 941
Water Systems for Farm Homes, for
a glass of water may possess them
all and yet contain millions Of disease
producing germs. Amy suspicious wa
ter should be rejected until both the
water and the surroundings where it
is obtained are passed upon by COM
petent sanitary authority, generally
the State Board of Health.

Owning a home is the inherent de-
sire of every head Of family. But
1t is doubtful If the pride Of owner
ship is as strong in the husband as
in the wife and the other members of
the household. The latter spend a
much greater part of their time In
the home than does the man, whose
days are devoted to business. Conse-
quently 1t Is the wife and daughters
who have. the greatest interest in the
planning of home.
There will be much building Of
small homes this year. The govern
ment has removed the restrictions
that were imposed on building as a
war measure and plans that were
temporarily abandoned can now be
brought to fruition. In both country
and city building activity will be
greatly in evidence as soon as spring
comes.
In the meantime those who con.
template building will have the pleas

II. G. BUSH BACK
Captain Returned Saturday Accom-
panied bY Mrs. Bush

Capt. H. G. Bush of the construc-
tion branch Of the quartermaster de-
partment. arrived from the Atlantic
coast Saturday to make his home in
Deming Sgain. With him was Mrs.
Bush, who is getting her first look at
this city-their marriage occurred in
the east after Capt Bush went into
the uniform last summer. They are
staying temporarily at the Park ho-
tel.
Capt. Bush was ordered across just
before the armistice was signed, but
that event brought a cancellation Of
the order. He vas in active service
about four months, following his res
ignation as food administi tor for
New Mexico, in which capacity he
made m enviable record. There is
made en- enviable reputation aSf
one feature Of this record that the
captain locks on with pardonable
pride 1t developed during his stay
at Washington that he was the only
food administrator who had failed to
turn in an expense account. All the
9ood administrat served without
pay, but Captain Bush went them one
better oy paying his every expense
out Of his own funds, even to the fit
ting up OF his ,ffiee Il Albuquerque
Germany and the ether central
powers win have % he fet, in Capt
Bush's opinion, regardless Of many
rumors that they are merely cam
oufaging in their cry for food. "If
we were forced 10 food r.ies with
one year Of war" he said Monday,
'it is contrary t. reason that the CEN
trail powers, wh) htd -four years o.
war and constant blockade. have
any food left. We will have TO help
them"

THE OIL FEVER SPREADING.
But Outside Capitol Evidently Needs
Mere Encouragement 10 Enter
New Field
Formation of Local Company Sug-
gested 10 Turn Leases TO Big
Drilling Company

The oil interest in Deming grows
with the passing days. Many leases
are being taken in the neighborhood.
especially around Miesse and Myn-
dus. and it looks as if the only thing
that can prevent some concern from
coming in TO start actual development
will be a failure TO secure enough
leases to protect them on later o9er-
ations.
This has been the history of al
most every oil field. Development is
never started until some concern with
plenty Of capital has been given the
inducement to start. Deming and the
Mimbres Valley have a chance to
bring in this capital, it would seem,
from the fact that outside compan-
les have sent men there to investigate
the field Biologists without excep-
ton So oil will be found under the
surface formations that prevail here
abouts. They have been so strong in
their c9-v ctions that companies have
star ed after the oil north, south.

Of turning them over free to some
concern that will consent to come

Of wells. Whatever was left of the
company's capital might go into
stock with the drilling company. This
is not the only possible solution, but
-it-seems 20 offer a way ous The inns
portant thing is to get development
started, and the removal Of the diff
ficulty in getting leases would remove
a large barrier to that.
When the landowners have some
assurance that those to whom they
are giving leases will actually 90 af-
ter the oil long step will have been
taken toward removing that difficult

HOSPITAL WILL REMAIN ?.
Demolition Of Giant Institution Stop
ped by Order Of War Depart
ment Friday
Attempt Being Made. TO Find Buyer
to Keep the Hospital in Perma-
nent Operation

Work OF demolition Of the base hos
pital, which started last week, was
abruptly halted Friday by an order
from the war department. The or
der which was to the constructing
quartermaAtcr, gave no reason for
such action-department orders never
do-but the Chamber Of Commerce
has been petitioning the department
TO leave the hospital intact so that IL
may be taken over by the state or
some fraternal order If such. an mr.
rangement can be effected, and it is
presumed that the department has
seen fit to grant their request to the
extent, at least, ot stopping the de-
molition.
The hospital is gigantic affair, as
well as very costly one, and 1t has
been the general belief all along that
the government would not tear it
down. This belief got rude check
when the demolition order arrived
early last week.
The cessation of the demolition at
least e'ves Deming an opportunity to
hunt purchaser for the hospital.
There is no telling how long the OPP
portunity will be extended, so quick
action viii get the surest results. Gov
eminent officials are apt to change
their minds over night, and the or
der to begin the work of destruction
again may be received any time.

BUDGET A MASTERPIECE
Larrazolo Program Gets Approval
from Both Parties

Santa Fe, Feb. 22-Precisely as
Governor Larrazolo and the Republi-
can leaders had promised, when the
budget was transmitted to the legis-
lature this week, IL showed that the
Republican majority are in position
to take care of all the educational
and development needs Of the state
and that they have so adjusted the
net increase in expenditures than the
running expense Of the state will
only be increased $4,000 a year while
the state tax levy will be reduced
from 81 mills to mills. While
there is some complaint from insti-
tutions which wanted the grab-oif, a
big pile Of money, Republicans and
Democrats alike pronounce the budg-
ct a masterpiece of fiscal work
At the same time the governor de-
livered an open address in joint ses-
sion in which he outlined his views on
indirect taxation, proposing an in
come tax, an inheritance tax, a tax
on gasoline and other like methods
which in 80 per cent of their effort
will result in the rich man paying
more Of the taxation burden of New
Mexico than ever before. The meth
ods which he has proposed are ample
to take carv of the mammoth road
building and educational advance
ment plans Of the administration but
they will not be felt in December and
June when the tax nerve Of the public
is most highly sensitive.
In nutshell, the budget and mes
sage combine redeemed the Republi-
can pledge in that they took care of
the larger state needs with lower
state tax levy, an unpreceded achieve
ment in state affairs in New Mexico.
Nor is there any danger that the
legislature will undergo this record.
The two men most directly charge
with fiscal Legislation are Major
Llewellyn Of Don Ana county in the
house and John S. Clark of San Mi
guel county in the senate, both of
whom voice strong approval OF the
Larrazolo plans and of the Larrazolo
economy and pledge that their res
pective men, will not impose addi-
tional burdens but will hew close to
the lines drawn by the budget COM
mission.
All the administration bills are now
in the house. There is a great mass
Of Legislation to be threshed over if
the session is to finish its work in the
20 days remaining, but Speaker Sc
dillo. Senator Clark, Judge Barnes
and other leaders are sanguine of its
accomplishment. Blanchard Of Lin
coin and II. Carter Of Socorro, two
of the independent Republican lead
ers, concur with them in this opti-
mistic view and the talk of an extra
session which has arisen in the past
week is likely to end in just talk.

NATATOR|UM COMPLETED
Finest Institution Of Kind in South
west About Ready to Open
in Deming
To be Operated by War Camp Com
ity Service While That Body
Stays Here

Some time within the present week
the water will be turned into the big
swimming pool being built by the
War Camp Community Services on
West Spruce street and the finest in
stitution Of its kind in the southwest
will be in operation. All that remains
to be done is the application of a coat
Of enamel to the walls of the pool.
and when that is done Contractor
Samuels will turn over the completed
lob TO its owners. At present the
owners are the War Camp COmmu-
nifty service organization, and il will
be operated by them as long as they
continue their activities in Deming.
When they leave il will be turned
over to the city, with not a penny
asked in return therefor las. ng
and most impressive monument to
the great work accomplished here for
the citizen and the soldier by the War
Camp Community Service.
Architect McGhee, who desf ned
the big natatorium, was here from El
Paso Saturday for his first loos at
the job since il was started last fall.
Since that time the work has been
under the direction Of Architect Guy
Frazier. who has evidently hsadlee
the job in masterly style. Or Mr..
Frazier put his unreserved O. X. on
il.
The natatorium is without doubt
the finest in the whole Southwest; in
fact we have never seen a finer one,
nor has anyone with whom we have
talked II has lockers to accommo-
date a greater crowd than il will be
called upon to hard.e for some time,
for il was designed while the 9th d.
vision was forming at the camp and
was intended primarily for the sol
dier3. There are several showers in
add ticn 60 the great pool, 60xl0O
fee, which slopes from a four foot
depth at one end to about twelve at
the other. At the deep end are two
spring boards, one low one for faint
hearts and a high one for the more
adventurous. The floor around the
pool is tiled, and the whole affair is
finished up in fine style. 1t is an in
stitut;sls Rny city might well feel
proud Of, and Deming is incredibly
lucky to have it placed in her lap
without even the asking.
The natatorium cost approximately
$4,000, and will be worth ten times
as much to the city in the years to
come.

Two Factions

Hildago county is out of the woods
An agreement has been reached be-
tween Senator Murray. the delegation
from Silver city and the delegation
from Lortsburg. the latter having ap.

division of the present Indebtedness Of

The new lines represent quite n
change from the plan of the original
hill. Under the new one. the county
Hildago gets a portion of the pre-
cincts Of Red Rock and Richmond,
whose people are on the wronk side
of the Burro mountains to get a coun-
ty seat at Silver City. On the other
hand Grant is to keep strip Of three
townships wide running down and in
cluding Hechita in their boundaries.
The net result of the compromise is
that Hidalgo county will have the
valuation of s9.5O0,000, considerably
less than the $12,O00,00 they worked
for at first but still making Hidalgo
the biggest baby that has ever been
born in New Mexico"
The new bill will carry the emergen-
cy clause and under that provision New
Mexico Is apt to have II new county
by the first Of March. One reason for
the speed Is that there are forty eases
from It's proposed territory which 9th
