Az a matter Of fact the War Camp
Community Service is more popular
now with the soldiers than ever be-
fore, and immensely more so than at
this time a year ago. This statement

was at its height.
The work of the organization that
is now the principal reliance of both
town. and camp for recreation and
amusement has proceeded so quietly
and with so little blowing Of trum-
nets that it is necessary to take up
their, activities one at a time to get
the proper appropriation of what
they have been doing. That Is the
purpose of this article-to show Dem

in our midst by the War Camp Com
munity Service.
A Modest Beginning
The Khaki Club" started as
reading accommodating more. When
the armory was donated as soldier
club this reading room was fitted up
not so luxuriously as at present, but
Comfortably, and the soldiers began
10 patronize it. Now there are few
evenings when seat is unoccupied,
and no matter what is going on else
where in the building there are al
ways good number who cannot be
tempted from the luxurious osp'as
of the couches or the solid comfor. OF
the extension chairs. A feature al
ded not long ago has given this place
n peculiar charm for many. That is
the art exhibit from the state gallery
at Santa Fe. Every picture that
adorns the wall of this room and the
other rooms at the armory is a sam
pie Of New Mexican art from the IA

When the colored soldiers of the

fall to help in the demolition of Camp

to their entertainment, which prob

Secretary Bassett by the leasing OF
a billiard hall, completely equipped
on East Pine street, which was turn

many times over to the men in uni
form, FOR their use, like everything
else nc the Khaki Club, the canteen
alone excepted, is free. No one thing
has proven more popular with the
soldiers than the billiard room.

A $4,000 Swimming Pool
Last summer the War Camp Com
munity Service decided to build a ma
tatorium for the men at Camp Cody;
the city was asked to donate site
for the same, and turned over va
cant lot at the corner Of 9Th, Pine
and Spruce. The signing Of the ar
mistice caught the natatorium only
fairly started toward completion, but
the organization decided to finish II
and has Just done so, at total out
Law of about S26 600. Now that Il Is
finished the War Camp people will
operate it until they wind up their
activities here with the departure Of
the soldiers, when this magnificent in
stitution, with its 60xl00ft. pool, the
finest in the whole southwest, will be
donated without reserve to the city
of DeminC. We look on the natato-
rum as the biggest and best Of the
many things that the War Camp
Community Service has to its credit
in Deming, for the benefits thereof
are not temporary but permanent and
il will stand as a monument to their
work here long after they have aban-
doned Deming rs a scene Of their Ia

true, not because the organizations

the community life. The first Com
munity Sing" in January brought a
thousand people together in the big
auditorium. On Roosevelt Memorial
day several hundred needed the call
to the armory TO do honor TO the
memory Of the Great American. Civ
ilians have gradually been admitted
to most of the benefits of the Khaki
Club, such as the sporting events,
the entertainments of various kinds
staged by soldiers and the canteen.
The reading room, billiard room and
dance floor are still sacred to the
uniform. One of the most notable Of
the entertainments mentioned was
the show put on by the 9th Cavalry
minstrels few weeks ago, when
more than 1000 soldiers and civil
ians crowded the auditorium to hear
the armory comedians.

he said.

that they refused to consider the con-

The cereal workers now contend
that the mills are paying their "scab"
help more than the scale demanded
by the union men. lFassler denied that
this was true. saying the wages were
the same, but that they were working
twelve-hour shifts. which accounted
for the larger checks.
The mills which are now said to be
operating twelve-hour shifts are the
Inter-Ocean, Ismert-Hincke, Kaw and
Topeka mills. J. A. Clayton, interna-
tional representative, today renewed
his assertion that the cereal workers
were ready to consider any proposals
the operators may wish to advance
and to meet them fifty fifty" But
the men are positively going to stick
together and fight the thing out, he
declared.
