The building housed a chapter of the USO during World War II , in support of the men training at Deming Army Airfield . During the years that the building served as a military facility , it was also used as a community center for hosting dances , basketball games and other local events . Two events in 1976 contributed towards the launch of a campaign to acquire the Deming Armory as new premises for the town ' s museum . First , the National Guard vacated the building and moved to a new facility on the south side of Deming . Second , a local businessman , Hubert Ruebush , offered to donate his mother ' s old electric washing machine , the first such washer in Deming , to the museum . When Ruebush learned that the museum could not accommodate the washer in its cramped facilities , he donated $ 6000 to acquire the armory on the condition that his donation be matched through local fundraising . Ruebush ' s condition was quickly satisfied , and a delegation from Deming subsequently negotiated a selling price of $ 11 , 500 for the building with the State Armory Board in Santa Fe .

Cavalry Stetson The Cavalry Stetson or Cavalry Hat is a Cavalry tradition within the United States Army . There is no Military Occupational Specialty ( MOS ) requirement for the Order of the Spur and the order is open to members of foreign militaries serving with U . S . Cavalry units . History of the Cavalry Stetson . The Cavalry stetson was the headgear typical of cavalrymen during the late 1700s into the 1800s , to include the Indian Wars , Civil War , and Mexican - American War . Before John B . Stetson , for whom the hat is named , introduced the Boss of the Plains hat in 1865 , troopers wore hats in a similar style , but quickly adopted the Boss of the Plains as an unofficial standard . In the modern Army , the Stetson was revived as an unauthorized , unofficial headgear for the sake of esprit de corps in the Air Cavalry . Because they are not authorized by AR 670 - 1 , the regulation for wear and appearance of the uniform , wear and use of the Stetson and the similar spurs is regulated by the unit commander . In most cavalry squadrons , troopers will be authorized to wear Stetsons and spurs on the last day of the work week , at special events , and ceremonies . Like spurs , some units may require a trooper to earn the right to wear a Stetson via a Spur Ride . While there is no doctrine governing the appearance of a Stetson , it will generally have the wearer ' s rank set above the unit ' s regimental crest on the front , with the regimental insignia on the back , and a different color cord around the brim depending on the wearer ' s branch and MOS . Troopers with combat experience may tie " combat knots " in this cord . The most common cord colors are yellow for an enlisted Soldier , to include 19D Cavalry Scout , black / gold for company and field grade officers , silver / black for warrant officers and chief warrant officers 2 and 3 , silver for chief warrant officers 4 and 5 and gold for general officers . Army - wide Adoption . On April Fools ' Day , 2011 , the U . S . Army released a humorous statement that the official black beret of the Army would be replaced by stetsons . Below is an excerpt from the full announcement : The statement was supplemented by pictures of soldiers with stetsons photoshopped over their berets , including an Army dog toting a stetson .
