poultry club. The boys, who will raise
crops, are not yet certain who will
have charge Of their club. The children
are quite enthusiastic and are going
10 work with view to winning some
prizes at the next fair. IL II really
astonishing how some OF the little fell
lows 20 about this tasks and how much
they accomplish. I'm sure city boys
would think it almost unbelievable.

chaperoned number of Deming girls.
Mesdames Manhart and Dansc and

children. The tiny thing follows them
about and does some very amusing
things
Who is responsible? What for? Why
the vandalism committed within n
stones throw Of Deming. On the main
highway stands house, which must
have cost several thousand dollars TO
build. Last year II was vacated. Since
then II is being destroyed In the most
wantOn manner. First the large win
dow lights were smashed. then whole
window sash and doors broken out and

IL the plastering were being broken
out. IL this had been shack II would
not have seemed so terrible; but for a
nice, well furnished home TO be demol-
ished In such a manner, seems incredi.

That Senator Capper has now the
applause Of millions Of people by his

To take the stand and cry shame on the
heartless profiteers. who in their greed
for pelf. hee not the cries OF the mil
lions whom they crush TO earth.
