made some exceedingly good points.
G. }. Laughren spoke very intelli-
gently on the subject of industries
that ought to be located right here
in Deming and that will be in due
time, because of our superior adj
vantages in all directions. X.
Swanzy was called upon for talk
on markets and rates, but as he was
given only a half minute to prepare,
he begged for further time to con-
slider the proposition. The GRAPHIC
editor spoke briefly on Legitimate
boosting and W. S. Clark, of the
Santa Fe, who was the first man to
come across with his fees and dues,
followed the editor with a mighty
encouraging talk on how the rail.

fact that Deming has the best rail.

CONCERNING NITRATE

Editor The Herald-Although nltra.s
Of soda is rapidly becoming recoghlzS1u
as the best form in which TO apply
nitrogen. there are still many VINO yet
need to know why it is the best.
The action of nitrate of soda as d
fertilizer material is to produce rlcn,
healthy growth of luxuriant 1oilase
and stem, to encourage and extend .ie
root system of plants, thus giving them
greater feeding and also bearing ca
pacity. It's proper use always results
in the production of succulent, crisp
vegetables and large luscious irults. :.
By Fastening the growth OF crops II
enables them to command higher offices
by reason of their greater quantity,
their better quality and their reachns
the earlier markts. Here are three us
tinct advantages in using nitrate.
Instances are on record where appn-
cations of nitrate of soda have pro-
duced as much as twelve and one
fourth times as much profit as tne
same land without nitrate, such IN
creased profit being $1.45 for eacn
mound of nitrate used, which COST
nrobably less than 3. cents.

HUMBLE HEROES

The woman whose care and good
management make a happy home Is
deserving of the highest praise. Her
family, friends, public opinion and the
press all unite to honor such women
The praise is we'll deserved, but shouli
we not give a few words of apprecia-
ton to the mans part in the home
economy, and sometimes make mention
of his efforts, which makes possible the
home and its comforts?
We all admire heroism, but look for
1t in the doer of great deeds while
often at our own fireside some humble
hero sits unrecognized day by day.
The man in moderate circumstances
has a burden upon his shoulders that
few ever realize. A good education has
elevated his tastes and needs; his wife
and children share these tastes, and
we can believe that the pressure of
family life on the wage Garner is heavy
and unremitting. A comfortable, re
fined home is a necessity to him, but
such a home, though humble. requires
an outlay that can only be met by most
strenuous exertions from him. A days
work lost means closer reckoning to
make the ends meet; so day by day
he cheerfully tolls on, expecting no
rest except that afforded by an occa
sional outing on a legal holiday or a
possible two weeks vacation in the
summer.
So cheerfully does he take up this
burden of life that few ever realize
how crushing and relentless is its
weight For often his efforts are taken
as a matter of course, and never, in
words at least, win recognition. He
does not ask our sympathy; he is
willing and glad to work for those he
loves, and would be the last one to
appropriate to himself the name of
hero.
Yet where could we find nobler hero
ism than this? Does 1t not in many
instances reach the sublime ideal?
Greater love hath no man than this.
that man lay down his life for his
friends" Many a man has died in
the harness, worn out by incessant
toll or the monotony of life's cares.
Have we such a patient worker in
our own homes? While there is yet
time let us say the kindly words of
praise and appreciation that NAV
cheer the way and increase the COURAGE
of the worker.
For life is all too short. dear
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do. dear;
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heartache
At the setting Of the sun"
