BORDERI.AND ROUTE
NEEDS SIGN POSTS

L. C. Paxton tells the Graphic that
there Is a great deal OF confusion
among motorists bound west over the
Bofderland when they come TO the jog
In the road where IL turns west on
Eighth street. On account OF the lack
of signs the motorists usually keep on
south because the road is graded due
south, and they are several miles out of
their way before they come to realize
that mistake has been made, and
they begin to inquire the way. The
Borderland in and out Of Deming
should be well posted with signs. 1t
Is well worth while and due those who
journey this way.
Americans who were in France dur
ing the war and who had to make long
night marches in strange country
by map and compass will never forget
the blessed signs at the crossroads !;
never chance for n trained officer to
lead his men astray. Yet we have peO-
pie that think we are so much more
progressive than the Europeans.
