Two Kinds of Slavery.

Thousands upon thousands of lives
were given up to stop slavery and
yet there are many now who are
rent-slaves and they wont even try
to shake off the yoke. 1t must be
because they do not think, what a
little money each month, applied on
your own home, rather than for the
privileges of staying, will do. How
soon it will be your own and then
the rent and payments are all stop
ped for all time.
II wont cost any lives to throw
off this kind of slavery, but it will
cost little exertion on your part.
If you are at all in the dark re-
garding the proposition, let us ex-
plain. Come in today and be ready
to start the new year right. C. j.
Laughren.

DEM|NG LUMBER Co.
INCREASES CAPITAL
Big Business of Popular Big
Firm Makes il
Necessary
MULTIPLIED FOUR TIMES
Manager Bush Doing Much
to Develop the Mimbres
Valley.

Deming is mighty proud of her
progressive and wideawake business
institutions. but not one Of them is
doing more to contribute to the
genuine prosperity than the Deming
Lumber Co.. under the able man.
agement of II. G. Bush, one of the
livest boosters in the Southwest
who proves his faith in the Mimbres
Valley by investing his good money
in large quantities. For every dol
lar that he makes in business he
brings in ten dollars of outside cap
ital for investment. which contrib
utes very materially TO our actual
growth.
The company's business has quad
rupled in volume until il now car
ries one Of the largest retail stocks
in the Southwest.
In the development of n new
country it is necessary that credit
be extended To worthy people, and
in order to do this and to accommo-
date the many people who desire
to build homes, the company has
found il necessary to multiply its
capital stock four times, local peo-
pie taking il all, thus leaving the
money all at home and further
building up the city and country.
In the last year Mr.. Bush has
invested $25, 200 in residence proper
ty and will more than duplicate it
during the next year. In fac; he is
closing out all his Texas interests
for investment in this city and coun-
try.
Another thing Bush is interesting
himself in is reducing the freight
rates to Deming, personally conduct
ing a case before the Interstate
Commerce Commission which he
will ultimately win and benefit us
all.
This is what Bush is doing and
we believe that he ought to have
these little deserved bouquets while
he:.is alive and able to enjoy them.

Tells of an Immense Profit
on a Small Acreage Pro-
perly Taken Care of.

Wah brothers cleaned up a
profit Of more than five thous-
and dollars on their twenty-five
acres mile and a half east of Dem
ing, in the Minbres Valley of New
Mexico, this year. On this tract
are the Chinese Gardens" origin
ally started by Cinnamon, and since
then continuously owned by gar
deners Of this race; one Cainaman
becoming rich and selling out to
another. The Albuquerque Jour
nal says of this years work: Their
net proceeds will run between five
and six thousand dollars. Seven
men are employed at these gardens
every month of the year. The
water for irrigating this tract is OBJ
tanned by pumping it "A distance of
fifty-fve feet. They have ten
horsepower electric motor and a
twenty-horse-power steam engine.
The water is only raised by steam
when the motor is out of commits
sion. This year they had in cult
vation three acres of celery, two
acres Of sweet potatoes, two acres
of cabbage, two acres of dry onions.
and one acre of cauliflower. They
had about $50 bearing fruit tire hs,
consisting of apples, peaches. peaIrs.
plums, apricots, and nectarines, also
several hundred grapevines which
bore fruit this year. In addition,
they have marketed other vege-
tables. They send tons of their
produce to Morenci, Clifton, Lords

ing of great quantity to the resi-
dents of Deming,"

Sugar Beets in New Mexico.

II is worth while noting the quail
ity of the sugar beets grown in New
Mexico. The department of agri-
culture has brought out a synopsis
of analysis which demonstrates the
necessity of care in selecting speci-
mems. A few of the tests make a
remarkable showing as to sugar con-
tents, others fall below samples test
ed for other states. The beet with
the highest sugar contents from this
state was sent from La Cueva. Mora
county 1913 per cent; Stanley, south
ern Santa Fe county, sent a beet
with 2l.9 per cent, sugar contents;
the beet with the lowest sugar con-
tents was sent from Artesia, 9.5 per
cent. The highest degree of purity
is ascribed to aspecimen from Elida,
Roosevelt county, 95.l per cent; while
Teqico, Las Vegas and Stanley also
sent specimens having more than 80
per cent of purity. New Mexico's
average from all specimens received
in 1910, was l6 per cent for sugar
contents; n for purity and II
ounces for average weight. Rock

A Fortune in Royalties.

Charles Klein, the author of The
Lion and the Mouse" has received in
royalties for writing this play, which
took him one year, nearly one-half
million dollars. AS there are 70, 900
words in the play his genius as
playwright won him 800 a word
for this contribution. The profits
of Mr.. Harris the producer, have
nearly reached the One Million Dol
lar mark.

Everything which may be grown
anywhere, except citrous fruits, has
been produced this year in the
vicinity of Deming at almost un-
heard Of profit. There never has
been exhibited at any fair anywhere
finer products of the soil, and with
the system of irrigation employed
this can be duplicated every year
without any question; for the valley
never is visited by storms, and
drouths are impossible. Mimbres
Valley farmers this year will make
close to one hundred dollars per acre
on their beans; nearly 5000 per acre
on tomatoes; better than $3.50 per
acre on onions; better than seventy
dollars per acre on alfalfa; and bet
ter that $500 per acre on cantaloupes
and other melons.
Orchards have been bearing in the
Mimbres Valley for more than a
of century, and the yield
and flavor Of the fruit are unsur-
passed anywhere in the world. 1t
may be Of interest to know that the
largest apple exhibited at the st.
Louis Worlds Fair was grown right
here in the Mimbres Valley, and that
the same orchard this year has one
hundred trees that produced one
hundred tons of prime fruit. Bart
lett pears grow without blight, and
all kinds of other fruits are grown
at minimum of cost.
The source of Deming's supply of
water is a subterranean river, as
pure as il is possible for water to be,
and inexhaustible for the erea to be
irrigated. Power is furnished to
run large centrifugal pumps by
electricity, crude oil and gasoline;
the cost varying from $l.a5 to $3.50
per acre foot for delivering water
on the land. The original cost of
installing the pumping plants, irri-
eating from l25 to 200 acres, varies
from SIS to $50 per acre.
