proper for a young girl of the period TO

open 10 the public. Members of the
University faculty did not join the

Of the prevalent feeling against the

FATHER JOSPEH GARNET
TO GO TO MIMBRES

II was with regret that the parishon-
ers Of the Rev. Father Joseph Garnet
listened to his announcement at Sun
day morning mass that he had found
IL necessary to relinquish his work
here and go TO Mimbres.
Father Garnet has endeared himself
not only to his own congregation but
TO Deming citizens generally. He came
to Deming in 1913 and has proved him
self pastor in every sense Of the
word, building up his own church and
contributing to the social welfare OF
the city I'm many ways. He strength
ened his church by his spiritual service
and by so managing its business affairs
that he has added the Mexican church
in the native quarter and built model
parsonage, surrounded by vines, trees
and grass which he tended with such
sympathetic care that Il is one of the
beauty spots in Deming. He was look
ed upon as a fixture in the city. The
fact that he is not leaving this sec
ton is somewhat comforting TO his
Pensioners.

TO REDUCE TAXATION

THE way to reduce taxes Is to re-
duce EN-" This is the gist of the
inaugural address of Governor NJ. c.
Mechem who took the oath Of office at
Santa Fe last Saturday at noon. The
address was recOrd-breaker for brev-
ity, but II would seem he said more
than has been uttered around the state
house for many moons. The new chief
executive left the impression that tax
rerormers who laid stress on new meth
DDS were working along erroneous
lines. As corallary TO and a proper
foundation for educing taxes he points
out that strict economy in conducting
the state government IL absolutely nee
essary-to cut down the tax rate II is
necessary TO spend less money.
The simplicity of Governor Mechem's
plan for solving the tax problem will
appeal to everyone. A reduction In
taxation will mean an increase in
well-being and will prove solvent
for many other troublesome economies
and social problems.
The complete fulfillment Of all the
party pledges Is promised by the new
governor, who will have an over

whelming majority In the state legis-
lature acknowledging his leadership.
He will, therefore, have a good oppOr-
tunity to initiate the policy he has
outlined. New Mexico looks forward
to the benefits to he derived from con-
sentative administration Of the state
government.
Governor Mechem an eminent jurist,
exemplifies all the desirable traits TO
be looked for in the gubernational OF,
flee He is sound on questions Of pub.
lie policy; his idealism is conferred
wholly in American interests and his
training in public affairs is such that
he takes up his new duties prepared
to meet the cxuigencies that will CON
tinuc TO arise even after economic and
social conditions are adjusted to a
more stable basis.

TWO-SW0RD MEN OF Japan

TO the attention OF the members OF the
Silver City Chamber Of Commerce by
Colonel Whitledge, post commander,
Wednesday afternoon. The twenty or
thirty business men who were at the
meeting were amazed and dumbfound-

Stored Foods

At certain seasons of the year,
nature mothers us in generous
lavishness; at other seasons she
treats us as outcasts.
One great service rendered by
Swift & Company to the consumer
is in taking some of the surplus of
natures plenty and storing it against
the season of production. This
is a service based upon sound
common sense and meets a definite
economic need.
This enables you to obtain all the
year round some foods which other
wise would be so abundant in certain
months that the entire supply could
not be used, and so scarce at other
times that prices would be prohibitive.
Swift & Company has equipped its
plants and branch houses with refrig-
Grating plants, and has a sufficient
number of refrigerator cars to carry
supply ofmeat foods to its customers.
OpdSO III puOuC COlO StOIdSc WdIC-
houses also is used by us to carry
perishables until they are needed.
We store only enough meat,
butter, poultry, eggs, and cheese to
supply our customers during the
period of scarcity and not to specu-
late on rising prices. Our storage
profits during the last eight years
have averaged about one cent a
dozen on eggs, and less than cent
pound on butter and poultry.
Storage of food is world necessity
andwe regard our part in this as an
important factor in our service in
supplying the nation with wholesome
food.
