Here is a recipe for the home brew
ers to try: Capture a wild bull from
and pen him up for three days and feed
him on hair springs. Turn him loose
and chase him three miles. Then go
back on the route taken by the frog
! and gather up the hops. To the hops
add ten pounds of tan bark, three
pounds of glue; one bar of soap and
one pint of shellac. Boil for SO hours
and strain through an old sock This
does not conflict with the Volstead act

we object TO having our taxes raised
in proportion as the dollar has de
preciated? OF course, taxes are higher.
They will be higher yet, unless the city

The Graphic would be most surprised
IL the citizens should initiate n paving
program. II they did, IL would be two
or three years before yard OF con-
crete would he laid and that long be-
fore dollar would be required to
pay for It. This. because II takes time
TO clear the way legally for the work.
1t IL easy to see that those who pro-
test that this isn't the time" measure
time as the Lord Almighty does, that
is. "a thousand years is but a day."
and, therefore, Il is perfectly safe to
join the ''manana" bunch. We all
agree that paving is n fine thing.

A MIGHTY GOOD BUY
AT THESE HIGH PRICES

=
All the city needs to have the water
works pay for itself Is to leave the
water rates right where they are, regu
late the price so that the income will
remain the same. SO that ut expenses
can be met with. The city can have
a sinking fund same as the present
company has or any corporation should
have. First, the city could save $1,000
Mr.. Cotton's salary. Then the sinking
fund OF 1920 and $1,000 laid aside
for depreciation making a total oil
S13.7O0. c.
So long as the city keeps up the
amount of revenue that Is now coming
in they can double the supply Of water
without any additional cost, as the
bookkeeping win be no more and the
pumper can keep the pump going more
Regularly and Deming people, one and
all, will not have TO be figuring that a
pail split IL going to embarrass them
financially.
The people win own their own water,
therefore they win pay nothing TO have
the streets watered, each home can
grow flowers and grass and beautify
their home, making it more cheerful

finds everything more home-like, and
Is bound TO make better husband, Tor

zephyrs that blow the sweet odor

from a poor person as a rich one.
The greatest business points ! ever

brilliant but he cared nothing to heap
up riches. Anybody can make money.
Some scrimp themselves until they get

richest. His life IL as valuable as the
rich mans life. His vote counts as

benefit from owning their own system.

EDWARD CHAMBERS PREDICTS
RUSH OF PEOPLE TO N. NJ.

The records for 1920 and 1921 viii
show a heavy increase in the popula-
ton of New Mexico, according to
Edward Chambers OF Chicago, vice
president In charge Of traffic OF the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
Company.
81 have faith in New Mexico" Mr..
Chambers said. prices Of land here
are still reasonable; good markets are
available; the climate being moderaet
is ideal for the livestock industry and
the diversification Of crops makes
failure virtually impossible. These at.
tractive features OF New Mexico appeal
to homeseekers and other desirable In
vestors In the congested states Of the
east and they are making inquiry about
opportunities here.
"The Santa Fe," Mr.. Chambers
added, sis receiving more inquiries
about New Mexico than ever before
and it has become necessary to work
out comprehensive plan for collect
ing the information called for. The
Earth, the Santa FEES paper, which
discontinued publication on account OF
the war, is to be re-established as a
medium for the dissemination OF data.

HOW GOMEZ

We don't like TO call attention TO err
roneous statements In the columns of
our contemporary, the Headlight, be-
cause we are 80 often In error our
selves. We both live In glass houses,
as Il were and 1t behooves neither 10
find too much fault with the other; but
we really feel that our esteemed col
elague has done an injustice to W. J.
Berry, who announced for county treas
urer, and A. ID. Tyler, who announced
for county clerk The Headlight very
carefully reprints the Graphlc's edi-
torial mention OF the other candidates.
but not only failed TO mentio.. yur
glowing panegric OF Messrs. Berry
and Tyler, but said we actually hadn't
endorsed them. The Headlight said:
Every candidate endorsed editori-
ally, with the exception OF w. ]. Berry
for treasurer and A. ID. Tyler for
county clerk, by Luna county's indie
pendent and republican official party
organs. Berry and Tyler stand In a
class by themselves, apparently, but
lot. and they will be in the race till
the polls close on the evening Of
March 90"
Which is all wrong. II our esteemed
contemporary wants 10 reprint what
the Graphic said about the gentlemen
in question, we will save him the
trouble OF reference TO our issue OF
February 10, and at the same time
impress the sentiment expressed on
anyone who may be in doubt. Here is
what we said:
wv. ]. BERRY
wv. ]. Berry, our old friend, Is out
for treasurer and collector OF Luna
county and is making an active cam
paign for the nomination. Mr.. Berry
has numerous friends In the county
and should be one of the best bets in
the race. He has had extensive bust
ness experience and should have no
trouble in handling the important of
flee should he be elected"
"A. ID. TYLER
Arthur Tyler announces his candi-
dacy for county clerk In this issue OF
the Graphic. Mr.. Tyler has lived in
the county for the past 10 years and
is well qualified for the office he
seeks. He had two years experience
as teller and bookkeeper OF the Deming
National Bank and served for about a
year and half in the county clerks
office under Charlie Hughes. Mr..
Tyler is well known throughout Luna
county and numbers his friends by the
score. He promises 10 devote all his
personal attention 10 the office II
elected and will doubtless make the
race for county clerk a very interesting
one"

The cry Of high taxes Is Isrest
csmoHflage. Deming IL just getting
ueed to paying taxes of any kind that
amount 10 much. The same crowd that
is now trying to kill the proposal to
buy the water works used 10 argue,
quite frankly, too. that the city couldn't
run without the revenue derived from
the saloons. As a matter OF fact, the
hawdy houses contributed consider
able share in the way Of fines and were
really considered by some as being
necessary 10 the financial standing Of
this community. But, even in those
days, someone paid the bills. Now the
burden is not placed on the unfortu-
nate, but squarely on the property own
ers, who must pay for the privilege OF
owning valuable city property from
which they derive an income and that
honorable right 10 sit in the seats OF
honor where citizens are officially as
sembled and dictate TO the less for

Everything else is high; why, II we
are honest taxpayers and progressive
