Lee, of the British army, left Viup Luujr ui uuuuajf ngut aw Camp Hancock, Georgia, where they will continue the work they have been doing here as machine gun instructors. Before his departure Captain Moore was the guest of honor at a banquet given by the officers of the 125th, 126th and 127th machine gun battalions, and of the machine gun companies of the four infantry regiments in which Captain Moore has been instructor. The banquet was held at the Mandigo cafe on Silver avenue and followed a theatre party at the Majestic on avenue. Members of the Ed Redmond Follies Company helped to entertain the party during and after the dinner. Captain Moore has been here for several months and has worked hard to fit the men of the 34th division for the strenuous work of machine gunners, which they will have to perform a ssoon as they reach the front, and such has been tho success of his teaching that the machine gun companies are acknowledged to be among the best trained troops in the entire division.

Fou Iks of Change to Be Made July 1 All the War News. Paper, boss? The Deming Headlight. Jest Out. Get the Earliest News. Beginning about the end of this month, the Deming Headlight will change from a weekly to a daily, appearing on the streets and on the newsstands in the afternoon with the latest dispatches from the Associated Press.

The date has not yet been definitely settled when the first issue of the daily will appear, but it will be just as soon as the new machinery that has been ordered hag been delivered and installed in running order. This step has been taken to meet the insistent demand for a daily from all classes of the citizens here and after a careful survey of all the conditions that could possibly have a bearing on the success or otherwise of the project. The management of the Headlight has had the matter under consideration for a long time, and it seems that the present time is ripe to launch the new venture. Six years ago E. R.

Vallandignam took over the Headlight and at once began to build it up, always having in view the time when Dealing would be large enough to support a daily paper. Each piece of new machinery that has been bought since Mr. has been the owner of the Headlight, every lot of new material, was always better than was actually needed for the work on a weekly paper, but he planned to have the right start when the time came to branch out into the wider field of the daily newspaper, and this policy has more than justified itself, for the change from a weekly to a daily can now be made with an extra outlay for new machinery and equipment of little more than $8,000. The plant as it stands now represents an investment of $25,000, with a building and lot worth another $16,000, and the additional $8,000 will run the total amount that has been invested in the business close to $50,000. It has always been the aim of Mr.

Vallandigham to keep ahead of the development of the city and the community, in order that he might be able to provide for the newspaper needs of this section as efficiently as possible, and the issuing of the Headlight as a daily is a part of this course. The new equipment that is now on the way here consists of a new Model 5 linotype, which, with the Model 14 now in use, gives the plant two of the most modem typesetting machines to be obtained today. The capabilities of the Merganthaler linotype are too well known to the readers of modern newspapers to call for any lengthy or detailed description, and the Headlight will have two of the most versatile models ever turned out by the company. In addition to the new linotype, a Ludlow Typograph has been ordered, a machine that is revolutionizing the printing industry and that does the work of five hand compositors. The Lud.ow supplies unlimited faces of display type for job and advertising work, and every line of type needed in these branches can be cast on the Ludlow, ready to be made up, at a saving in time and labor that makes for reduction in the work of these two departments.

A Miller Saw Trimmer, another recent invention, will also be installed to save time, money and labor in the mechanical end of the business. The Mi.ler permits an operator to set up his slugs, either for job or advertising work, and to cut them to the size wanted without changing his linotype or the Ludlow, and as soon as they are set they can be trimmed to the required size in an instant. An Eclipse newspaper and periodical folder has also been ordered. This machine has a capacity of 3,500 papers an hour trimmed, pasted and folded, and saves unlimited time on the work of preparing the paper for the mail or in placing it. on the streets.

In the newspaper end a new Optimus press, admittedly one of the two leading newspaper presses in the country, was installed a year ago, when the idea of starting a daily first began to take form, and this press, with a capacity of 3,500 impressions an hour, will be used for the present, but as soon as it has been determined that the daily is ging to prove a success, a new and larger newspaper press will be set up and the present one will be added to the equipment of the job department. In addition, there are two job presses, a large and a small one, capable of taking care of every order that may come to the Headlight. The job department is equipped with the latest and most artistic faces of type, as well as with the most modern machinery, and is fitted to turn out any kind of a job at the shortest notice. Without efficient workmen, however, no amount of modern machinery can handle the work of getting out a paper, and in this respect the Headlight is especially fortunate. Every man in the mechanical end of the Headlight has been chosen for his ability, perience and character, and the organization has been built up with the sole idea of having as thorough and 1 balanced a staff as it is possible to secure anywhere.

Every man on the staff has had years of experience in the best shops in the country and they all take a real and active interest in the workings of the business. It is a matter beyond argument tbt a liye daily paper is a greater asset to a community than anything else that could be started. It keeps the activities of the section in which it is published before the people not only of its home town, but in other places all over the country, and it does more to advance the interests of its own section than any other agency. Deming can have no better booster than a snappy daily paper, and a project of this kind should have the unstinted support of every man in the city and the county. Not only wiK the daily Headlight cover the local field in all its branches, but Camp Cody and the army will also receive all the publicity which the authorities there see fit to give out, and the happenings all over the world will be wired into the Headlight by the Associated Press, the greatest news gathering agency in the world, and the one which has proved itself the most re-liali in every respect.

Within a few days the subscription books for the daily will be opened and subscriptions will be received for three, six and twelve months to any part of the country, and we would ask those who have been so eager for us to enter the daily field to get their names on the list among the very first, to show their faith in one of their own public utilities. A newspaper, like any other business, needs to have the people of its district stand behind it loyally if it is to succeed. It cannot be run on promises, 'nor can a profit on an investment of the magnitude of that tied up in the Headlight plant be earned without the strong support of the entire community. The Headlight is doing its utmost to help Deming and it is no more than fair that Deming should reciprocate and try to help the Headlight to become an organ that will fairly represent the best life and thought of the community. It is not intended to discontinue the publication of the weekly edition of the Headlight, as this will be maintained to take care of those subscribers who are now on the list and also for the publication of the legal advertisements which have to run for a stated time at weekiy intervals.

In fact, under the new conditions, the weekly edition will carry more reading matter and more varied articles than it does at present.

Under this agreement the rate for residence lighting will be slightly lower than it has been, commercial lighting will remain about the same figure, but the power users will have to pay a higher rate than they have been paying. The United Land Water Company also asked for permission to advance the water rates and their request was referred to Mayor R. F. Hamilton and City Attorney A.

A. Temke, in order that they might examine the legal status of the matter and to give them time to take it up with the directors of the Chamber of Commerce. The health ordinance was amended to authorize the appointment of a city health officer and of a sanitary inspector.

Milk, butter, eggs and bread will be received fresh daily, and M.

Pandd 1, the manager of the store, intends to maintain it at the highest pitch of efficiency and sanitation. The location of the store is 312 Pine street. Record of Accomplishments Sent Out Over the Country Advertises Deming and Cody. The War Camp Community Service has issued a pamphlet showing the work it is doing and has done all over the country, in the various camps, since it started operations after the entry of America into the war. The report takes as examples the work done in an American village, an American town and a large American city, and the three examples chosen are Deming, Chillicothe, Ohio, and New York.

It shows the following accomplishments here at Deming and in connection with the work at Camp Cody, chosing Deming out of a list of thirty-four other villages in the country where troops are stationed, and the advent sing that Deming thus receives is a important asset. Helped the 2,000 civilians of Deming, N. M.f adjoining Camp Cody, mark their Calendar-of-Festivities-for-Soldiers with a big red letter for every day in the week. Gave a hand in converting an obsolete reservoir into an athletic stadium, adequate to supply the wants of soldiers. Aided the village, which could scarcely house a Way Down East company for a one-night stand, to expand three movies, six pool rooms and one boxing arena into an imposing total of fifty-odd places of amusement for soldiers and their visiting friends.

Helped to transform 160 desert acres into an amusement park comprising a race track, an automobile speedway, a half-mile; Midway for high class concessions, and a grand stand seating 10,000 people. Staged the largest barbecue and wild west show in Demings pioneer history the first many an enlisted man at Cody has ever witnessed. Put a swimming pool within the reach of every soldier at the camp. Assisted in importing a thousand boxers and wrestlers to teach selects at Cody how to bowl over the boche. War Camp Community Service spent during its last fiscal year to help the people of New Mexico and the village of Deming extend hospitality to the soldiers stationed at Camp Cody.

This service is an integral part of the system established by the government of the United States for the training and preparation of the soldiers and sailors in the camps and training stations, and the work in no way duplicates the work that is being done by any; of the other organizations. MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY AT THE TEAL THEATRE The Orpheum Follies opened here at the Teal theatre 'last week for a limited engagement and it can be said that their company is what you might call a real sensation in the way of musical comedy organizations. The cast is a splendid one, made up of some of the best known people on the Pacific Coast and is headed by George Spaulding, director and leading man. Mr. Richard Burton, who has the distinction of being the only man that ever sang from the top of the Wool-worth building in New York, and could be heard on Broadway, then comes Frank Vack, the noted comedian; Charles McDowell, Earl Reiner, Harvey Ba and others.

The prima donna is Miss Ruth Sinclair, with a beautiful voice and with acting ability par excellent; Miss Joan Farrar, the leading lady, has already won a warm spot in the hearts of the playgoers of Deming. Then comes Miss Phoebe Bassor, Queene Blake, and others who have also become great favorites with the audiences. As a whole, The Orpheum Follies is the best attraction that has played Deming in a great many days. C. H.

Lester, the father of the Bor-de and route, has been here this week visiting his sons, Roy and Harry Loster, the agents for the Maxwell cars. Miss Eunice Dietz has returned to Deming from Chattanooga, where she has been attending school, and will make her home here with her father, Frank Dietz. SPROESSER-KELLY The marriage of Captain Charles Sproesser of the mobile repair department at Camp Cody and Mrs. Capitola Kelly was performed at El Paso on Saturday. The bride is well known in Deming, having made her home here for a number of years.

Q. M. CORPS GIVES DANCE Invitations are now being sent out by the members of the quartermaster corps at Camp Cody for a dance that is to be held next Thursday evening, June 13th, at the armory and which promises to be the social event of the season. The invitations are in tbe shape of an official order from headquarters and follow the government form, but that is all the official atmosphere there is about them, for they bid the lucky recipients to a time of wassail and amenity seldom equalled in Deming. This will be the second dance to be given by the M.

corps, and so great was the success of the first one that the invitations for the dance next Thursday are being eagerly sought, and the ladies are especially looking forward to the occasion. Intermingled with the dancing program there will be several vaudeville numbers of a striking nature. VERLIN RESIGNS John T. Verlin, who has been manager of the Harvey House here, has resigned his position and will manage the hotel which he recently bought on east Pine street. P.

C. Hyde of La Junta, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Verlin. Gives His Services Free to Government as Assistant Food Administrator for New Mexico. H.

G. Bush, assistant federal food administrator for New Mexico, left last night for California on official business and will be absent for several days. Immediately on his return he will report the result of his investigations to Ralph C. Ely, food administrator, at Albuquerque. Mr.

Bush offered bis ervices to the government, asking that he be put at any line of work where he could te of most use, and he was immediately assigned to assist Mr. Ely in supervising the food administration program in this state, where his energy aqd administrative ability will be of the greatest advantage to the government. Mr. Bush returned last week from Washington, where he had accompanied Mr. Ely for a conference with Herbert C.

Hoover, national food administrator, and a number of the administrators from other states. Since his return Mr. Bush has been fixing up his extensive business affairs here in such shape that they will run along while he is absent from Deming. Mr. Bush still retains his interests in the Foxworth, Galbraith Lumber Company, as well a3 his other property here.

He recently completed contracts for the government at Camp Cody in a fashion that placed him high in the estimation of the administration and of the War Department, and he brings to his new work the same tireless energy and ability that have marked his entire business career. He will work for the government without any remuneration, as he feels it to be the duty of every man who can afford to do so to place his services unreservedly at the service of the country until the war has been successfully fought. GRAND JURY HARD AT WORK The Luna county grand jury for the spring term of court began work on Monday afternoon when its members were sworn in, and it is probable that the work will be finished by today and that the trial of the criminal cases on the docket will begin immediately.

The Childrens day exercises of tbe Presbyterian Sabbath school will be given next Sunday morning, June 9, at 9:30, at thq Presbyterian church. All who are interested in such exercises are cordially invited to attend. The children are preparing a program of military character, called Christian Soldiers, and it is hoped that every member of the primary and intermediate departments will meet at the church, Saturday afternoon at 4 oclock, for practice. The Childrens day offering is to be used in establishing Sunday schools where such advantages have never been enjoyed, and every effort should be made to make this a generous Childrens day offering.

DEMING BOYS JOIN NAVY J. Saladino, the naval recruiting officer who is stationed here now with an office in the Mahoney building, on Tuesday evening sent twelve young men from Deming to El Paso to take the examination for the navy. The boys who went from here were L. R. Poll, J.

Latimer Watkins, J. LeRoy Phillips, L. A. Whitehall, M. T.

Ilar-per, and Marlin A. Phillips, all of Demmg, and the following, who were living here, but gave their home addresses as other points: Ray, El Paso; L. Mullins, Hooperstown, E. A. Byrd, San Saba, Texas; A.

J. Romero, Reserve, N. R. B. Robinson, Fort Worth, Texas; R.

M. Molone, Paris, Texas. Mr. Saladino urges that all young men should enlist now in the navy, as the period of voluntary enlistment will soon be closed when the next call comes out for men for the draft. Tradesmen are wanted in the navy, machinists and carpenters for the aviation brach being in special de-mand.

There are also openings in the hospital corps for young men between 18 and 25 years. All the men accepted are sent to Mare Island, for training, and as soon as they are accepted for the sea service they are released from the draft for the army. New Mexico is sending a great many young men to the navy and the state is making a better showing than many others. The recruiting office is open from 8 a. m.

till 6 p. m. at room 14 in the Mahoney building. With a volume of business from January, 1917, to January, 1918, amounting to over $90,000 on stamps and stamped paper alone, the Denying postoffice has won the right to be classed as a first class postoffiee, and the change will go into effect on July 1st, according to instructions that Postmaster W. E.

Foulks received from Washington this week. Under ordinary circumstances a first class postoffice is usually housed in a building provided by the federal government, but under recent decision of congress, no new buildings will be erected until after the war, nor will any advances be made in the salaries paid to postmasters of offices of this class. This will not prevent the, local office, however, from enjoying certain privileges after the first of next month that it has not been ac-corded in the past. The amount! of business handled here really entitles Deming to a new and larger building than it has at present, as the business has greatly outgrown the accommodations now available. The operation of the postoffice here, which includes the branch office at Camp Cody, has been meeting with the approval of the examiners from the department on all occasions, and Postmaster Foulks and his staff have been highly commended by those in authority for the manner in which they handle the immense amount of work that passes through this office.

In addition to the amount derived from the sale of stamped paper, there are the departments handling money orders, postal savings, war and thrift stamps, and revenue stamps, which are not included in the total on which the department made the change, and Mr. Foulks says that each of these has shown a continual increase all during the past year. If the present rate is maintained the sales of stamped paper will run close to for the year ending December, 1918. Mr. Foulks is trying to have another local carrier placed in service assist in the mail delivery, but he has not yet succeeded in completing arrangements inthis matter.

Visitors welcome. S. R. MCLURE, Minister. protests of her lover, she returns to the monastery.

In a series of wonderful pictures, the sacred influences of the place play upon her emotions. She confesses, the prior prays for guidance. As he absolves her, he, so near to God, tells her that the Virgin has looked through her eyes, as she sometimes looks through the eyes of good women. Joline confesses that she is a sinner. He tells her that all are sinners, and leading her to the miraculous rose, he plucks a bloom and places it in her hand.

In the inspiration of a soul born anew, she draws her scarf about her, clasps the rose to her heart, looks up, and is herself a beautiful suggestion of Mary, the Rose of God." Joline gives up an unhallowed love for her American, reforms the cynical Frenchman, and in the Great War, enters the service of her country as a Red Cross nurse. On the battlefield she rescues her artist, now in American service. The last scene shows the good prior happy in the happiness of the lovers, and the former cynic, now in the uniform of a high French officer, full of reverence for a good woman. ATTENDS PEACE OFFICERS MEET Chief of Police James A. Kealy has been granted permission by Mayor R.

F. Hamilton to attend the annual meeting of the New Mexico Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association that will be held at Albuquerque on Tuesday, June 11th. WIDENER-WOODRUFF Will O. Widener of Camp Cody and Miss Marguerite Woodruff were married here on Wednesday by Rev. W.

E. Foulks. Both the young folks come from Lincoln, Neb. A nine-pound baby girl was bom to Mr. and Mrs.

B. C. Banner at their home on God avenue on Wednesday. The new arrival has been named Betty and seems pleased with her surroundings. Mr.

Banner is employed with the J. W. Thompson Company at Camp Cody. NAZIMOVA IN REVELATION The biggest moving picture offering of the week was Revelation at the Princess on Wednesday and yesterday, with Nazimova, the famous Russian actress, in the leading role of the famous Metro Pictures Production. The Revelation is a story of human emotion in which Nazimova has placed a womans heart on the screen.

There are depicted the lure of luxury and the world, affection, reverence, love, renunciation, religion, forgiveness for human wrongs, patriotism, and devotion. In a series of lighter vein pictures, Nazimova is shown as Joline, a cabaret dancer in Paris, where she takes the fancy of a Boulevard cynic, and where he attention is drawn by an American artist who is sketching her. With a womans keenness, she presents the artist to the cynic and thereby gains a powerful patron for the American. She makes herself supreme in his art and brings him to fame. The American, hearing the story of a miraculous rose bush, desires to paint' it.

Permission is granted by the prior, but the artists model, being a woman, may not enter. Joline, disguised as a young boy, gains entrance to the garden, draws her robes about her and poses as, the Blessed Virgin. In an especially beautiful p6se, she lays her hand on a leafy spray, and a butterfly, a symbol of a new life, makes its way over her arm end scarf. Brother Augustin, feeling in his heart that a sin of his youth has made the rose bush cease to bloom, catching a glimpse of the vision, worships and faints. Before the return of the brothers from the chapel, Joline escapes.

The long prayed for miracle is wrought. The vision of Brother Augustin becomes known, one branch of the rose bush blooms, and in token thereof women are allowed to enttr the sacred precincts of the monastery. Joline learns of the miracle. In a spirit of bravado, she determines to confess the truth. In spite of the CHARLES FAIRBANKS DIES Charles Warren Fairbanks, vice president of the United States under Theodore Roosevelt, died at his home in Indianapolis on Monday night from nephritis, from which he had been suffering for some time.

He had also been senator from Indiana at one time and was one of the leading politicians in the country during his active life..
