Deming the Natural Leader

Deming, N. M. as so often be-
fore, again takes the lead by initial
ing experiments in sub-irrigation
through lines of tile. At a cost Of
$50 per acre the tile was made and
laid, at a depth of IS inches, and it
Is found that within few days of
the turning in Of water from a
windmill, the moisture meets be-
tween the lines of tile, and. the soil
becomes moist and retains its mel
lowness to within half an inch OF
the surface, leaving a dry surface
mulch which conserves the moisture.
Fruit trees and truck thrive under
the treatment. The Rio Grande
valley will not soon adopt the tiling
system, but we shal! have to con-
slider lining the bitches and laterals
and making more economical use of
the water, thus greatly extending
the acreage to be reclaimed. The
average farmer in this valley uses
and wastes ten times as much wa
ter for a given crop as the best Cal
ifornia usage requires. Ell Pasc

Money Invested in a Home
Brings you Real Rewards

That cannot be measured alone in
dollars and cents. There's salts
faction in knowing you have home
when possibly all other investments
fail-it gives you feeling Of secur-
ity and demands the recognition of
your fellow townsmen, because by
building you show your faith in the
future of the community. And ev-
cry community is known by its
deeds. You can help and at the
same time help yourself. A home
investment will be the most meri-
torious, and loss is less likely be-
cause you are dealing with values
you understand and with people you
know. We have supplied the lum-
for the homes Of many of your
friends who are now on the road to
success; and want to talk with you
whenever you are ready.

Until Thad Mossman Of Deming
was in town, Wednesday, It was not
generally known that Will Lyle and
Lois Despair were married. 1t is
true, Mr.. Mossman declares, and as
the young lady in the case is his
sister-in-law and has been making
her home with the Mossman's, he
ought to know. 1t is said the cer-
emony was performed during the
winter when Mr.. Lyle was visiting

Saturday morning, a gasoline COM
bustion set the room ahame and in

clothing took fire and before It
could be extinguished his body was
severely burned. the arms, hands,
legs and back very badly. With
his clothing afame he ran to the
rear Of the Atkins store. W. W. At
kins enveloped him in gunny sacks,
but TO no avail. His clothing was
literally burnt from his body.
Friends took him to DR.. Swope's
Office, and az the doctor had been
called to the country at an early
hour. he was given prompt an ef'
fective attention by Drs. Moir
Steed and Stovall. Willing hands
took him on a stretcher to the hos
pital where he is improving az
rapidly as his terrible injury will
permit.
DIR. Moir says il takes about -
hours to dress the burned surface
every day and we are very glad Il
report that with no serious compli

through in good shape, which vii
be good news to his legion OF
friends in this region.

July 4, the Spirit.

The spirit of independence is
shown on every hand. Deming is
going to celebrate. Washington
will be eulogized. We are all
proud Of the fact that the blood of
the signers of the declaration Of
independence is coursing thru our
veins. The spirit of Bunker Hill is
prevalent enough now, but in a few
days it will die down and you will
go on paying rent as before.
While you are in the mood, see
Laughren, sign a declaration to own
your own. It's easy enough, just
the same as renting, so far as mon
ey goes. but the own your owr
home" satisfaction is there. You
are truly independent. and can eel
ebrate with a spirit of genuinenes'
never known before.

Sub-irrigation Attracting At
tention Everywhere.

In a recent Florida Fruit and
Produce News we note the follow
ing from an enthusiastic believer In
sub-irrigation:
"Iet me describe the system, It's
operation and theory, and tell what
It has done for us at Sanford. Its
possibilities seem limitless. With
out an illustration or drawing, a
description is difficult to understand
or remember. Briefly. the water Is
applied through three-inch tile, laid
in parallel bitches eighteen inches
deep, with a fall Of not less than
one inch to one hundred feet. The
distance between the rows Of tile
varies according to quality Of soil,
in sandy loan, twenty-five feet
affords effective drainage as well as
irrigation. The more clay, and the
sitter the soil, the nearer they
should be placed. At the upper
end of the tile. beginning with the
water supply with us. flowing or

end of each row Of tile, Is the water

tween the tile and the water mair

GREAT IMPROVEMENT

Every room In the central school
building and Miss Klotz's kinder
garten on Pine street was filed
with exhibits OF the ordinary work
Of pupils Of all grades. last Friday,
put up in very artistic display, rep
resenting many hours of patient
work by the faithful teachers and
showing at a glance the splendid
progress in all grades. Three full
sheet card boards Of samples Of the
best work Is selected from each
grade which are preserved for a
permanent exhibit to be used in dis
trict or state exhibits. and which in
1908 captured the beautiful silver
cup at Albuquerque and which
stood in the center Of the table Of
exhibits in Superintendent Doderer's
room.
The good feature Of the annual
exhibits is that ii shows the work
of each pupil and determines the
progress he or she Is making. II
careful painstaking work is done
the papers show it and If careless,
slipshod methods are pursued, the
evidence is in plain sight. This
ought to be and is an incentive Ia
do good work and to keep the pa
pers clean and neat.
Superintendent Doderer and his
very able teachers are entitled tC
very great credit for preparing
, these annual evidences Of our schoo
progress and IL is hoped that the
plan will become a fixed feature Of
| school life.

C. C. BLANCHARD DISAPPEARS
No Trace of Bradford, Pa, Man Since
February rs.

Bradford, Penn, March 9.-Charles
Clinton Blanchard 80 years old has
disappeared. Two weeks ago he and
his eldest son years old, went to
Philadelphia to visit his mother who
lives at 527 North Nineteenth street.
On Saturday, February %, he left the
house, leaving his overcoat and other
effects there, and an hour later note
was received by the mother to the eff
feet that Blanchard was going at once
to New York but that he would return
that night. AT the same time he sent
the note to his mother he telegraph
ed his wife here that he would be in
New York over Sunday. Neither
mother nor wife has heard from
him since.
Representative of the Bradford
Lodge of Elks of which Blanchard is
secretary, were sent to New York
and Philadelphia. where the police
made a systematic but fruitless
search. Blanchards accounts were
straight He was a man of excellent
habits, in good health, and of an easy
going temperament. No cause can
be assigned for his disappearance.
He had four children, all boys, the
oldest being six years old and the
youngest a baby in arms. Blanchard
was about six feet in height, well
built wore closely cropped mus
tache and his brown hair was thin on
the crown of his head almost to bald
ness.
