The Man Who Counts in a
Communitv's DEVELOPMENT
By R. BEDICHEK, DEFINING, N. \

paratiVely new proposition in New
Mexico, and hence the community gen
orally realized the need of campaign
OF education on the subject
Fertility of Soil Known.
1t has been a matter of common
knowledge for years that the soil OF
the valley was fertile beyond the
dreams Of people accustomed to farm
ing in the rain belt. Gardens and
small orchards irrigated from wind
mills had demonstrated this fact in
cOntrOverubly. Also the unsurpassed
quality Of garden truck and fruit was
thus demonstrated. But there were at
the time the first big pump was in
stalled comparatively few people who
realized the availability Of large guam
titles of water for irrigation. AS soon
as this was proved beyond peradven-
ture of a doubt it did not require a
wide stretch of the Imagination to
picture the valley cut up into farms
with a pumping plant upon each 50 or
160 acres Of land, and farming opera
tons carried on with tremendous
profit.
Spreading the Good News.
When a gOOdly portion of the COM
munity was converted to the new idea
that the Mfmbres valley was in truth
a great farming section, a chamber Of
commerce was organized, the main
function Of which was TO disseminate
this knowledge and attract to the val
lev a desirable class of farmers who
sources. This had the effect not only
Of the purpose for which the cham
Der was organized, but IL had also the
important effect Of convincing the
doubling ThOmaseS, who still held out
that a man had no business trying TO
farm in a section which the good Lord
had manlfestly meant for a desert
With a convinced and organized com
munity, the exploitation OF the re-
sources of the Mimbres valley became
Increasingly easier.
1t is not to be doubted that a val
ley SO fertile and so Favored by nature
would not have eventually developed
in the ordinary course OF human events
without the stimulating effect of a
strong organization and concerted COM
munity action; but such development
would have been slow indeed. The
grandchildren of the men now here
would have doubtless participated in
the benefits of a fully developed sec
ton, but not the men themselves As
the matter now stands. the citizens Of
Deming and the Mimbres valley no
longer have to put up with the hard
ships Of the frontier. Deming now sup
ports the best public school system in
New Mexico. A sanitary sewer system
was recently installed capable of &C
cOmmodating a city of $4,000 pOpula-
ton. Nearly 10 miles of cement side
walks have been LAID. Land values
have steadily risen, and better than
all, the class Of citizenship now coming
into the town and valley represents
the very best types that the country
affords.
Get together movements bring great
dividends The elimination Of the
knOcker pays Individuals of a com
munity should have confidence in it or
vamOose; civic pride Is an important
asset. And 1t is the duty of those
citizens who realize the Importance Of
these things to bring them about.

Every boost; the third com

Here is a motto that should be
printed in large gothic type, framed
and hang over every mans desk:
THE Man Who COunts-The man

poor that he is on the debit side Of the
community ledger.
The man who counts for something in
the community is the man who does
something for the community he
is the same man who gets back from
the community the fullest measure OF
return
1t is a common saying in Demtng
that there are II passenger trains leaY-
ing each day in five different direc-
lions for the accommodation OF those
who knock These excellent transpor-
tation facilities and the sentiment Of
the community against knockers are IN
part responsible Tor the fact that the
knOcker is as scarce in Deming as
hens teeth. Tastes differ, Of course
and what's one mans meat is another
mans poison; but the world is wide
and surely if q man does not like the
community in which he is living, it s
up to him to move on TO some commu@
nIty which does suit him.
ct there IS place IN every commu-
nifty for the man who cOnstructively
criticiZes; for the man who points ouf
weaknesses with a view to correcting
them. But he who runs may read the

an Individual, that line Of activity for

then should move along this line with
concerted action.
A typical example Of a town which
woke up a few years, ago to a realtza-

is found in the case Of Deming, n. VI
About three years ago, 1t was demon

Reed then said.
I'VE expect to prove by this witness
that the defendant and Mr.. Fleming

He said he wanted his Wife's viii to

game Of basketball at the "X'' Tues

off with some rapid fire work and
made four baskets Then the Bryanltes
neatly tossed a basket The PlanlsJs
worked the score to y points, then
fOuled and the Bryanites, given clear
throw. made a basket. The BryanlIes
fouled next and the Pianists' clear
throw brought their score to IS. That
seemed to be their hoO-doo, Tor in the
second period Of play, the Bryanltes,
by a series Of quick, clever play and
good team work, fattened their score
until 1t stood - 10 10
Then both teams everlasungly chased
the ball from one goal post to the
other. accomplishing little beyond
losing wind. Just a second before the
tihe-up gong the Piano Players broke
their hOOdOO-a ball tossed sideways
on quick run entered the basket and
made the score Is to 13 in the Pianists
