of the first President, which he char
acterized as prophetic phrase:
I'VE have sown the seeds of lib

little by little throughout the earth.
One day on the model of the United
States of America will be formed the
United States of the world. The Unit
ed States will be the legislator for

society Of nations, is in fair way of
being realized. for the great good of
humanity"

RAW MILK AND CREAM

Boiled milk is much easier
digested by babies than raw
milk and also easier than pas
teurized milk and most of the
digestive troubles of bottle-fed
children are due to antfQuated
ideas regarding the alleged
value of raw milk.
Milk labeled "pasteurized"
may not be properly" pas
teurized. Washington has no
laws requiring or controlling
the pasteurization of its milk.
To protect children. invalids
and those who are in a rum
down condition against milk in
fections. raw milk and cream
should be avoided.
Many outbreaks of typhoid.
scarlet fever, dfphtheria, sep
tic sore throat, ETC., have been
caused by raw milk, even by the
special or certified kind.
Properly pasteurized milk and
cream, carefully cooled and bot
tied, is the only kind adults
should drink. It this cannot be
obtained get good raw milk and

Why Not Pave the Streets Of Deminsg

Deming will swiftly fall behind the
procession OF New Mexico cities of
small size who are paving their streets
unless Deming citizens elect to follow
their progressive example. 1t Is about
time to stop some of the calamity how
lers OF the city by taxing them 80 heav-
lily that II viii take their breath away.
Those persons that have paid the ex-
cessiye rents hereabouts for the past
two years havn't much sympathy with
the property holders that say the city
IL broke, and that, for themselves, they
simply can't afford improvements. II
that he true, Il is time that lot OF
us sought greener fields. Some can
raise the rents so handily when the
boosters OF the town bring in some
paying enterprise, and they can also
raise the coin TO pay for the paving OF
the setreets over which the business OF
the town rolls About the only way
money can be gotten out of some OF
our citizens is TO tax II out Of them.

advancement Of industry.
Other cities, no larger and no better

paving and II isn't recorded, anyway,
that lots onthe main streets OF the
town can he had for a song.
The excuse that the streets Of Dem
Ing are too wide 10 pave, is just plain
camouflage. Deming Is blest above the
most of New Mexico cities In her wide
thoroughfares. And they will cost no
more TO pave. Why not? Figure IL
out and stop listening 10 the knockers.
Also, paving would have 10 be paid
for through a bond issue and direct
tax ON all property benefited. SO the
present condition of the village treas
ury has nothing TO do with the mat
ter Everyone knows that little pres
ent benefit Is had from the present
system of dumping a few loads OF dirt
here and there ON the streets, and no.
thing OF permanent benefit can come
OF such system. Hence the labor
now expended on the streets Is largely
much worse than most coutry roads OF
the vicinity. Tourists that motor
through can see nothing in Deming
but ''hick" town, so long as the pres
ent conditions obtain. Once there was
an excuse. but there Is none now. II
Is driving population and industry to
other places.

teal problems to solve Can bonds be
