Mayor Issues Thrift Message

lnnsmuch as the period Of time from
june 2Dth to July 9th, both inclusive,
has been proclaimed as Thrift Message
Week in the Eleventh Federal Savings
District, and In conformGnce with the
request Of Frank NJ. Smith, Federal
District Director. /. II. i. Hamilton.
Mayor Of the city OF Dcming, do here
by deliver this Thrift Message to the
people Of this community:
The prosperity Of any community de
pends upon whether or not IT Is com
posed Of thrifty people. Those persons
who avoid waste, save wisely, spend
wisely and invest wisely are the per
sons who make the community prosper
ous. Thrift is u happy habit ana it Is
one we should all learn and follow
Avoiding waste is important hut that
alone will not make for prosperity. for
that is a negative virtue. Wise saving
Il sTitJTtdht-the miser saves but he
does not enjoy life because he does not
save wisely--it Is not wisdom 10 save
al the expense Of daily needs. Wise
spending Is important for the man or
woman who buys rccklessly, not
reckoning whether what Is bought is
needed or worth the money, will soon
come TO grief. As important at least
as those Things already mentioned Is
wise investing
Avoidance of waste, wise saving and
wise spending are all of no avail If the
money saved Is invested fOolshly
There are many good investments
Among the very best are Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Stamps. issued by
the United States Government and
backed by all the resources Of this
great Nation
As small AN amount as a quarter Of
n dollar may be- saved through the me
dlum Of the Thrift Stmps, which are
eXchangeablc for War Savings
Stamps. The War Savings Stamp costs
four dollars and a few cents, the in
significant amount varying from
month To month. War Savings Stamps
draw four per cent interest. compound.
ed every three months. They may be
redeemed at the post office at any time
with the interest they have earned to
that date on ten days written notice
They are a worthy Investment.
All over the Eleventh Federal Dis.
itrict, Thrift Messages will be- delivered
during Thrift Message Week. | call
upon the citizens of Deming to heed
them carefully. And in accordance
with the proclamation issued by the
Governor of this State. urge that
every bell in this city be- rung and that
every whistle in this city be- blown at
10 o'clock each morning and at /
o'clock each afternoon during Thrift
Message Week.
Let us all he thrifty that our commu-
nifty may prosper and that we may in
dividually lead happy lives of Thrift

done. Make this cooperation effective
now by extending encouragement on

bellum days.
I'm for Deming and believe l am
capable OF expressing the spirit Of this
community. Deming is plenty good
enough for me and | can make others
believe 1t too. The more the envious
knock the metropolis of the great
Mimbres Valley, the more l feel like
doing something to help place her In
the preemlneEt position she will occu-
by when she comes into her own. To
encourage the strong and strengthen
the weak for the advancement of the
mutual interests, Is my controlling de-
sire.
Since receiving orders to return from
overseas / have covered something like
5000 miles of distance and nowhere
have met more progressive people
nor trayersed IA land OF brighter
possibilities than this That's why |
an here and that's why l expect to
stick until Hell, Yuma and Needles be-
come popular summer resorts. Which
reminds me that / have taken a pretty
good survey OF the arid southwest In
California, Arizona and West Texas
and haven't seen anywhere the equal
as u challenge to red blood to subdue
the desert for pleasure and profit OF
mankind. l admit there is more de-
velopment in some other sections OF
this vast domain due to the attraction
of capital at a time when immigration
was more active, but our turn is coming
and we can, and will, equal the best.
We have the best climate, the best wa

The Graphic back under the old
management starts just where 1t left

to take advantage Of the prmoislng
new developments that foreshadow a
future rich In possibilities for every
section that offers untitled land capa-
Bile OF cultivation. The Graphic has
ever stood for the best that is In Dem

poets fits friends, which include every
man, woman and child so far as

Weather and Crop Conditions In New
Mexico for Week Ending June II

The week was favorable one, with
moderate to rather high temperatures
and scattered thunderstorms, mostly in
east and southeast counties Crops
continue rapid growth generally and
ranges are in good to excellent condi-
tion, with doing well Winter wheat is
nearing the harvest in eastern counties,
with unusual promise, and spring
wheat. oats, corn, beans, kaffir, sor-
ghum and fodder crops are making
rapid progress. Some repldnting of
corn and beans has been done because
of the recent frost, but mostly these
crops have recovered or were undam-
aged, and cultivation is general. First
cutting of alfalfa in northern counties
promises to be light.
At Deming most OF the milo, corn
and kaffir has been planted. Tomatoes
have a 80 per cent stand and prospects
are good.

MEXICAN CONGRESS
HAS NOT REACHED
OIL LEGISLATION
FOREIGN CAPITAL URGING so
Ions TO PASS FAVORABLE
LEGISLATION

MEXICO CITY, June 17.-With
the extraordinary session of congress
still considering the labor law, after
having completed the third week of
it's life, rumors are plentiful that
neither the oil naturalization law
nor the national bank of emission
legislation will be considered before
the session is adjourned.
Hardly more than two score of the
800 odd provisions of the labor law
have been discussed in the chamber
of deputies and the debate shows
no signs of lessening warmth.
Representatives of foreign oil
companies and banking institutions,
which are vitality interested in the
proposed legislation, are found in
force in the capital and are
using every effort to secure modifi-
cations of the proposed law.

TUBERCULOSIS is
ECONOMIC ENEMY
OF UNITED STATES
SICKNESS DECLARED GREATEST
FACTOR IN PRODUCING
DEPENDENCY

ATLANTIC CITY, June 17-Tuber-
culosis must be considered not only
as a deadly scourge to be feared
but also as one of our greatest Geo.
nomic enemies, declared Walter s.
Uford of Washington, before the an
nual meeting of the National TuEer-
culosis association here today.
Sickness" he said, sis the great
est single factor in bringing about
poverty and dependency. Among
the various ills found in dependen.
families none plays SO big a part as
tuberculosis.
The public must be aroused to
grapple with the problem of tubercu>
losis as it now affects u civilian
population, on broad lines of health
reconstruction. For this purpose
departments of health everywhere
should be charged with the control
of tuberculosis as a contagious dis
ease. These departments should not
only be given legal authority to cope
with the problem but should be pro-
vided also with the necessary funds
to deal with the disease in its con-
tagious stages, as a menace to the
family and the neighborhood."
In a plea for health insurance,
John A. Lapp, former director Of
the Ohio health insurance commits
sion, pointed out that there can be
no solution of the tuberculosis prob
lem among working men without 1t.
Men cannot stop work long
enough to take treatment" he says,
because, as is well known, the
great mass of working lei are liv-
ing only a few days Or a few weeks
away from actual want. Some means
must be devised to enable people to
stop work and to receive adequate
medical treatment. There are only
two possible ways to do it, one,
through charity; the other, through
health insurance"
'The public attitude toward tu-
berculosis must be changed" said
Miss Mary A. Meyers, of Indianapo-
lis. Formerly the masses of people
thought the disease was hereditary
and that nothing could be done
about it.
Now" she said, "due to educa-
tional work, there are few grown-ups
or children in the country who dc
not know that tuberculosis is a pre-
yentable and durable disease"
