A very largely attended and enthu.
slastic meeting Of the Albuqueroue

in striking manner that the organiza-

the interests of the Br&e city was
never in better or more prosperous
condition.

Where Will it End?

We hear from various citizens that
another disgraceful piece of work was
done in one of the Deming resorts last
Sunday evening, and it is said that one
of the county officers was connected
with it and, so far as we have heard no
effort has been made to bring the Of
Tenders to justice, Surely the citizens
of Deming will have to do something in
regard to such matters if they expect
the town to improve and be populated
with good people who come from other
parts Of the country to look for homes.

JUST OFF THE PRESS.
A Bulletin on Shade and Ornamental
Trees for New HexiCO. Available
Work from the Pen Of
Fabian Garcia.

One Of the most useful and certainly
the most interesting bulletin issued for
some time by the Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Mesilla Park, is that on
"Shade and Other Ornamentals, " just
from the press of the New Mexican
Printing sompany. The author Of thc
bulletin, which covers Sc pages, is
Fabian Garcia, station horticultural.
The pamphlet is profusely Illustrated
and can be secured upon application,
from the Agricultural Experiment
Station.
III his introduction Professor Garcia
says;
THE planting Of shade trees ard
shruba in New Mexico in the towns and
connuy is cone only on "A very small
scale. One cannot help but be i'm
pressed with the scarcity of shade
trees either along drives and roads, or
in home grounds. Planting shade trees
should be done more extensively
throughout the Territory. Moro inter
est should be taken in this important
subject. While shade tree, growing
beside a drive or IN the home grounds
is not generally a source of income to
the individual or community if it is
properly placed and trained, il may be
a thing of beatty and comfort. Think
Of now much collection or group Of
trees, whcnpropcry placed, adds to tie
general surrounding OF % place. Why
have there been so few trees generally
planted throughout the Territory?
There must be reason for this state
OF affairs, and the following answer
may be applicable to this question,
The carly settlers cared little for
such ornament. The later wave of i'm
migration from the east was largely
composed Of settlers tgansi.ory in their
habits. This was a population largely
of persons who were seeking fortunes,
with liltIc or no intention of remaining
here permanently, and their efforts
were turned in a ditlrryn, direction
than that Of home making. Aside
from these causes 1t has been some
what difficult IN the past to get trees,
except the cot,onwood for planting.
The scarcity Of water for ligating
trees has also had more or less to do in
preventing the planting of shade trees "
After the introduction there are
helpful hints as to the general treat
ment of shade trees and ornamental
shrubs after which each species OF
shade troe and shrub that will thrive in
New Mexico, Is treated in detail. 1t
is astonishing 20 find so large a num-
ber Of beautiful shade trees that will
90 well in the Territory and now easy
it is to raise them and keep them
Many of them are great drouth re-
sisters and picture is given of fine
growth of Russian Mulberry trees m
the plaza at Las Cruces that has not
been irrigated for ten years. Orna-
mental shrubs also 90 well and it to be
regretted that so little effort is made
to have more evergreen hedges around
homes to replace unsightly or insult
able fences. Every horticulturist and
gardener should send for one of these
bulletins, for its contents are certain
to be a great help in making New
Mexico homes ana gardens more at
tractye and valuable.

THE GUN WAS LOADED.
As Usual the Pointer Didn't Know
1t and He Narrowly Escaped
Killing His Friends.

Some so years ago Roger, a cele-
brated tenor, gave supper, at which
Berlioz was present, and also the mu-
steal critic, Fiorentino.
In the early hours of the morning
Fiorentino got up, 'to stretch his
legs" as he said, and strayed into
the next room, where there was an
interesting collection of firearms.
In few minutes he came back carry,
point it about in most reckless
manner. Finally he turned it upon
Berlioz, relates Youths Companion.
81 am going to kill Berlioz," he said.
''He is a formidable rival. He is in
my way as musical critic"
BerlioZ turned pale and shook with
fear, but his host assured him that
the gun was not loaded.
Fiorentino changed his aim. Der
Hoz isn't worth killing, after ALL
said he. 81 shouldn't get his place,
for they'd say used undue influence.
Now I've a grudge against grand
opera, and against Meyerbeer for not
having handed over part of his
gains. So I'll kill Roger, for that
will stop the receipts at the opera
house,
Thereupon he took aim at his host,
who, feeling sure that the gun was
not loaded, did not bulge an inch.
But in another second Fiorentino
changed his mind again.
"There is no pleasure in killing
Roger" said he. ''He isn't even
afraid of dying. But I must kill
something. I'll kill his portrait
He turned the muzzle of the gun
toward full length picture of the
tenor, pulled the trigger, and to
everybody's horror simply riddled
the canvas with shot.

Job Hendricks had just seen him
disappear among the shadows when
from the other direction man sud-
