Get to Work as
Soon as You Can

Ever ody must work.
Humans are no different
in this respect than the
busy bee, and the quicker
we realize this fundament-
al, the sooner will come that
actual peace for which the
world has been fighting.
The drone in the bee
hive is not tolerated., but is
thrown out and Stunned
when he begins to live on
the results of the labor Of
others.
A place to work and
something to do must be
provided for those worthy.
There are big things to do
in America. Everybody
should get his bearings and
settle down to peace time
pursuits. The war is over.
Before the war, America ex-
ported approximately Z million
tons of foodstuffs, products of
the farm. We must now pro-
duce and export a surplus esti-
mated at % million tons.
No person, who knows any
thing about farming. should
seek employment in the cities.
The latter are overcrOwded
with people to whom a dime
looks as big as a silver dollar
and opportunity and necessity
for spending money is greater
than the wages received by the
average worker.
The farmer is independent of
the hall bedroom of the close,
ill-smelling apartment, having
the great outdoors to work and
live in. At the end of the sea-
son, the returns for his labor
have been saved, whereas the
city man more often has moth
ing to show. The farmer is priv
ileged to enjoy everything the
city man has and then some.

County Has Weather Station

The weather station that was in op-
Grafton at Camp Cody during the
time the camp was in existence has
been taken over by the Luna county
board Of commissioners and moved
to the park just back of the court
house, where il will be in charge OF
Prof. A. c. Heyman, county agricul-
tural agent. Prof. Heyman kept the
weather records for seven years at
Albuquerque, and il was the result Of
an appeal to him by Chas. f. Linney,
state head Of weather stations, to
take charge Of the station here that
the change was made.
The records at the new Luna eoun-
ty station began March lst. There
is practically no expense attached to
its operation, the only thing that is
necessary being man to read the
record daily.

Two More for Honor Roll

Our attention has been called to
two more names omitted from the
"honor roll" published several weeks
ago showing the names Of all Luna
county's sons who entered the gov
ernment service. either army or navy.
They are Thomas Lee Perkins and
William Warren MeCan.
Young Perkins went from Deming
in 1917 with the New Mexico nation
al guardsmen, who trained at Camp
Kearney. He reached France in time
to get in on some real fighting, and is
now with the army Of occupation in
Germany. McCan enlisted in the
navy here last June, on his eighteenth
birthday, and was taken to the Mare
Island navy yard training station.
He returned home just before the hol-

OLD TIMERS WILL MEET.
Seventh Annual Reunion Set for
Tuesday. March II at Julius
Roach Home


The "Old-Timers Association" Of
Deming was organized at a dinner
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Julius Rosch
March IL, 1913. the invited guests
being the men who were residents Of
Deming in 1883, or previous TO that
year Col Joseph p. McGrorty was
the first president Of the association
and Edward Pennington was made
permanent secretary. Owing TO the
physical inability Of Col .McGrorty.
j. A. Mahoney, as vice president,
filled the Office during the year and
presided at the annual reunion in
1914. The presidents since then have
been S. Lindauer, 1914; John Corbett,
1915; John Deckert, 1916; Thomas
Marshall, 1917; ]. II. Tracy, 1918.
At the 1918 meeting of the asso-
citation il was found that so many OF
the "old boys" had been removed by
death the membership was growing
rapidly less, and an amendment TO
the constitution was adopted permit
ting those who had been residents of
Deming for thirty years previous to
January /, 1918, to apply to the sec
retary for membership.
The annual meeting for 1919 will
be held at the residence of Julius
Rosch on Tuesday. March llth, when
the kind Of banquet" will be serv-
ed which our old-timers like better
than the best effort of Sherry's or
Delmonico's. Goodfellowship and
jolity will rule the evening, and
"The cares that infest the day
Will fold their tents, like the Arabs
And as silently steel awey."
All members Of the association are
urged to be on hand promptly at 1880
O'Clock, for the festivities will begin
Immediately after that hour, and
there will be no intermission during
the performance. Members are re-
quested to notify the secretary OF
their coming, or inability to be pres
ent.

BOXERS. SINGERS, DANCERS.
GET BIG CROWD At ARMORY
Gundy and Holgren Stage Fast Bout
and Every Performer Made
Hit

Nick Gundy, Arthur Holmgren ct
al put on their second show Wednes-
day night at the Armory, under the
auspices Of the War Camp Communi-
ty Service, and scored tremendous
hit before one Of the biggest crowds
that has ever attended an athletic
event in this city. Athletics didn't
hold the boards entirely, unless you
include singing in the soldiers cate
CORY OF athletics, for there was a con-
siderable program Of music and
dancing, in which all the performers
acquitted themselves well and some
brought down the house and were
forced to respond to encores.
Anthony Taff's dancing featured
this part Of the program, though a
burnt cork monologuist ran him u
close second. The quartet from
Troop K failed to appear. but num-
ber Of soloists filled out the bill sat
sfactorily.
Earl Newton and Owen Doran
opened the boxing program with a
three-round event, in which Newton
had little the better of the going,
evidently being a more experienced
man as well as stronger.
A three rounder between two hus-
kies. both proteges Of Arthur Holm
gren, got the biggest hand of all.
Holmgren. all unknown TO his two pu-
pills, had their mits covered heavily
with burnt cork. and boxers and crowd
alike were open-mouthed to see the
first bow struck by one of the men
blacken the whole side of his oppon-
ent's face. II must have been an aw-
ful punch, they thought, but the other
fellow came right back with one that
operated similarly, and from there on
it was hammer and tongs with each
trying to score the most black marks
on his adversary's anatomy. When
II was over, both were so solidly Etho-
pian In s',ade that Nick Gundy, who
refc I'D confessed that he couldn't
pick he winner. and after vainly APP
pea ur g. some young lady in the
audienre 20 come up and count the
spots for him he held up both mems
mits, signifying a draw.
Gundy and Holmgren put up a
great four-round exhibition, in which
both "cut loose" to an astonishing de-
gree, considering neither was getting
cent for their services, all the per-
formers donating their best to the
program without compensation. Their
bout would pass for a real. honest-to-
GOODNESS fight, for there was plenty
of steam behind many of their punch
es and there was no loafing in be-
tween. II was the best exhibition
bout of the many good ones that
have been staged by the War Camp
Community Service at the armory
since they began putting on the box
ing programs a couple Of months ago.

TO OPEN ASSAY OFFICE

pare for the Anticipated
Oil Boom
Free Quantity Assays TO BE Made TO
Encourage Production in
Ne- Field

l.. +. Caulfield, chemical engineer
OF the United States Oil and Refining
Co., which is maintaining headquar-
tiers in Deming, and Isaac Webb, for
two years past employed MS chemist
by the Copper Queen at Bisbee, are
making arrangements to open an as
say office and chemical laboratory in
this city, preparatory for the oil
boom, which they regard AS sure to
come in the near future. II is likely,
according to Mr.. Caulfeld. that they
will be open here within a month,
Mr.. Webb at present being tied up
with the Cooper Queen, which will
delay his coming somewhat.
It is the plan of the chemists to
make their Office a sort of general
exchange for men wanting informa-
tion on metal and petroleum produc-
tion. They expect heavy business
following the strike Of oil ut either
Bowie or Columbus. but will for a
time at least make free quantity as
says, making professional charges
for only the quality assays. Modern
apparatus makes quantity assay
matter of few seconds only. and
this free service is calculated TO en-
courage many TO develop prospects

A reading room will be maintained
where all the mining and technical

ports will be on file.

when that happens. This is the near
est railroad center to Bowie, the only
real railroad center on the border
west Of FL Paso. and this will be the
natural center to which everybody
will come from the outside TO the oil

the refined product Of the whole field
would be shipped, and for all OF the

An oil refinery for Deming Is be-

that has found any oil in any quanti-
ty In the Texas field now has its re-

Prof. Watt was working with County
Agent A. c. Heyman most Of the

Of his work will be made known later

On Wednesday and Thursday Prof
Watt and Mr.. Heyman made trip
to several towns north Of here, in
Grant county, principally to see what
the prospect might be there for u
market for Mimbres Valley dairy

them all adequately taken care of,
owing to the great slump in popula-

having lost some and Hurley and
Santa Rita were around forty per
cent short Of their population dur
ing the war. So whereas a short
time ago there. was shortage in
both lines mentioned, their regular
sources Of supply are now ample to
take care Of them. When things
boom again in that country Mr.. Hey

again.
The reason for the sudden exodus

DISCUSSES PRIMARY
Says Sedillo Measure Is Good One and
State Needs Such Law
Very Badly

Santa Fe, March House Bill 81,
written and introduced in the house
Of our present assembly by Speaker
Sedillo, Is without question, the sim
plest and best little direct primary
law. to be found in any state in this
union. Forty-seven states, out Of the
forty-eight, now have direct primary
laws. New Mexico is the only one
without such peoples weapon. Even
Hawaii, our lone territory save Alas
ka, Is blessed Is with direct primary
law. In fact, Mr.. Sedillo confesses,
that his proposed law for our state
Is in large measure copied from Ha-
waii.
have examined Mr.. Sedillo's draft
Of a direct primary law. and went
before the committee Of the house
to which ii had been referred, on Feb
10, and | made talk Of about an
hour and a half commenting the bill.
! suggested one amendment. and Mr.
Sedillo and the committee accepted
it, that was, that no group of people,
association, society or political party,
under certain pains and penalties
should be permitted to endorse" any
candidate running at such primary
election, until after such candidate
had won his nomination at such pri-
mary election. Other good amend
ments were added by the committee
itself. The splendid, ample little bill
provides but 20 petitioners for a
county or district Office, and but one
hundred names as petitioners for a
state or national Office, in order to
entitle the candidate to have his
name put upon the primary ballot
The petition fixes the party, whether
Republican, Democratic. Independent
Socialist or otherwise the candidate
desires TO run under. Another splen:
did provision is, that IL any candidate
secures a majority Of all the votes
cast Mt the primary, he is considered
elected, and his name is the only one
that can be put on the general elee-
ton ballot for the Office he is running
for ut the regular election. Every
citizen in this state should hasten to
write to some member Of the assem-.
bly, and advocate the enacted into
law of this Sedillo bill. That we need
such a law, goes without saying, SC

Interest Grows in Valley Oil Well

The interest Deinf SnoWn III thc
oil well seems to increase daily and
business conditions appear to be get
ting better all the time on the
strength of the big prospect Of get
ting a producer. The drilling has
been stopped for a few days on ac-
count Of some minor repairs, but it
will be but very short time. The
drill stem was sent into Ell Paso
Thursday for some repairs. Mr..
Kniffin went along that he might per-
sonally see to the job and get it
back here quick as possible.
The formation that the drill has
been going through for the last month
is an unusually hard cap rock, and
nothing is expected to happen until
this formation is penetrated. The
drilling process is slow and is very
hard on tools.
II is the opinion that the key to
the situation is this formation and
that when II is gone through there
will be something worthwhile. How
ever, this is something no one can
tell until the drill goes through, and
the next few days drilling will be
watched with more than ordinary in
terest. The thickness Of this rock
is another thing that can only be
learned by going through.
L. NJ. Carl, who has cut forty
acre tract into small lots. announces
that he has sold several hundred
lots during the past month, and yet
there is 4 big demand for them. The
tract he has been selling is located
just to the northwest Of the well.
Mr.. Carl also sold 100 acres of his
homestead to an FL Paso man this
week at very fancy price for un-
proven oil land.
There are many visitors to Colu.n-
bus now and very often the hotels
are unable to care for them. When
this well is brought in II will be some
proposition to take care Of the crowds
that will flock here.
There has been lots of placer min
ing claims staked in the valley the
past two weeks, possibly more than
at any other similar period.-Courier.
