many statues and paintings. Before
the altar burned great candles in

from an open prayer book. In the ex-
IRENE rear knelt withered old man
that we had seen begging in the street
a short time before.
From the church we went through
the plaza and then to some public

took the car back to Ell Paso feeling
quite proud of the fact that we had

NElGHBOR CUT HIM DOWN
John Zimmerman. a Resident of
the West Side Attempted
Suicide but Failed.

John Zimmerman recovering from "A
three days drunk. Sunday morning
attempted 10 take his own life. He
| went into his summer kitchen to the
rear Of his home on the west side, and
attached a rope to the rafters, tied it
around his neck and then jumped off
chair. The effort would have been
entirely successful, il neighbor,
August Nieman had not happened
along just in the "nick Of time" and
cut him down. As it was thinner
mans neck had been pretty badly
stretched, and it was rumored Monday
morning that h- had passed away as
a result of his attempt to take his how
ever, and he has entirely recovered.
Zimmerman is well known to a large
NUMBER of peonle in this city. For
some time he was employed by John
Hartl as bartender, but more recently
has been employed by Ed. Hayes in
the same capacity. All who know
him speak very highly of him, and say
that be was a. man who always at
tended to his own affair. He was
rather quiet and reserved, but was
always attentive to business.
About three days ago he imbibed to
freely, and for the three days prior to
bis attempt to take his own life, he
had been under The Influence Of liuuOr
,all of the time. 1t is thought that in
SOLDERING up he became respondent,
and the debauch so worked on vhis
mind that he became Temporarily
deraged. While in this condition of
mind he sought to kill himself but
failed.

 apparent that farmers ilava in the past paid . heavy price for ti}eir ignorance Generations oi farmers have lived on some lands and nude 8 scanty living out of them when ther might have been rica had they known the simplest facts regarding the soil they were working. The writer has in mind one gHoap of fsrgpers living on fhe edge of 3 gg5sxc{womp. The land was riclsAs sn epe elge ment, but afsef,e elemSnt Was almost hollg lacking. The farmerEaad each several hun aree e"Hcres 2 Of Chat land, and on ft tas9 were able to raise fifteen -31irs6els of corn per acre That Was en.ugn to keep the wolf from the door, but that was all n time the investigator of soils cae4e that way and discovered the deficiency in that particular sol. The farmers applied few dollars worth of that element needed. and at once the crops jumped to fifty bushels to the acre That one community of farmers had lost hundreds of dollars through not knowing one of the simple things about the sol they were tilling.
 < man knowing little about fruit raising. planted a large orchard of pear trees of ore variety and that. top. a variety that would net respond to it's own pollen, but that required to be pollenized by another varety. Other farmers took the idea from him and planted out orchard. of the sam trees. The crchaaGs Of the first farmer reached maturi- ty without bearing, and the farmer became disgusted and had most of his trees cut down. The loss to him represented several thousand dollars. Tn time the information crept into the neighoorhood that another variety of pears must be planted near that variety. Some of the orchardists grafted part of their trees with q pollenizing variety and in two CT three years brought their orchards into fruiting. But the loss had already been great in time and its equiSolent- money.
 The examples of this kind may be multiplied indefnately The losses occurring to the farmer through the ignorance of some of the simple truths of agricul- ture are enumerous. Poorly drained acres are farmed year after year The surface of the
  soil is dry. but the water table is i within a foot of 1t, and the crops dc not flourish. Money is spent for seed, fertility and labor. and little is received in turn from them. The farmer does not re aliza the fact that 3 sheet of water underhes lis tillage operations. and that 1t is eighteen inches higher than t should be to give the best results. Other lands are filled with acid from.decaying vegitation CT from acfdulated fer tilizeg, and unproductiveness is the result.
