EDITOR GRAPHIC.
Although the writer frequently
passes through Deming. ne had
not had the pleasure Of spending
any length Of time in the neighbor-
ing town. until quite recently. when
short stay Of a couple Of days
unfvlded to him, In part, the won
derful growth Of the town and the
successful reclaiming Of the beauti-
ful stretch Of adjoining country.
Through the kindness Of the genial
Newt. Bolich, who still suffers occa-
sional pangs Of conscience for hav-
ing persistently voted the Republic
can ticket whenever the writer's
territory embraced Luna county.
the writer was shown through the
new court house, hospital. new high
school building. and a large portion
of the residence section of the city.
From the balcony of the new court
house, the homes Of the homestead
ers could plainly be seen for miles
In every direction. All was wonder
fully interesting to a visitor from
the hills and mountains of this coun-
ty. The most skeptical persons in
this section of country must now be
convinced of the future Of Deming.
The writer well remembers that
there existed considerable bias and
prejudice in this city against Dem
ing, at the same time he located
here in 1896, and Silver City proba-
bly, received its share Of unfavorable
comment from the then residents of
Deming, about that time also. but
this grew largely out of the pro-
longed fight for county division and
has now happily passed away. and
these neighboring towns have join
ed the other prosperous towns OF
the territory in striving earnestly
for the upbuilding Of the territory,
soon we trust to be a state. Wher-
ever we may have decided to locate,
on first coming TO New Mexico, it is
now agreed between us all that the
splendid territory has great fu-
ture, and few, II any Of us, would
be willing to return to former erst-
ern homes, expecting there to be
happier or find better people
than here in New Mexico.
However. our material prosperity
doesn't count for everything, and
while Deming is just now enjoying,
and we trust for many future
years will enjoy, continued growth
and prosperity, recent press notices
convince the writer that the great
est thing that has happened for the
welfare of the town Is the selection
of Prof. ]. B. Taylor of Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. for superintendent
of the Deming city schools for the
ensuing year. At the close Of the
writer's six years service as the
county superintendent of schools
for Grant county, the first few
months Of which included the great
er part of what is now Luna county,
he made futile attempt to trans
fer his affections from New Mexico
to Oklahoma locating III oS'a"0'aa
City. Having peen Always neep's
interested in educational matters,
and being SO interested SUM- ne
soon met Prof. Taylor 'nen super.n-

satisfactory. in every way. and will
mean more for Deming, its citizens
and future citizens, than any step
heretofore taken by the town. Give
the new superintendent every possi-
bic support, for you cannot afford
TO lose him.
Very truly.

Weather and Crops.

Part of this week has been very hot
and there have been several rains.
Altogether, however, the weather has
not been favorable. The most i'm =
portant crop news is that the grass
~hoppers are being destroyed by par
asite-little red bugs that are to be
found under the wings. Reports come
form every portion of the county
where the hoppers had begun to be
plentiful that this parasite is Destroy
ing the hoppers.
Reports of damage by the hoppers
are meagre indeed. Most portions of
the country report no damage at all,
but there has been some damage where
there was great deal of grass land.
But the wet weather and now the lit
tie red bug have made the hoppers'
life a burden.

AS we journey through life let us
not forget to pause frequently mo-
ment to pity the unfortunate ones who
are with us and in trouble from no
cause of their own. The ones who
are bedridden and on the decline by
one disease or another are in need
of the pity and here we might extend
if we but stop to think cit might
have been US. In this age of COM
mercialism people do not stop to con-
slider the misfortunes of others, but
cold hearted and unrelenting they
turn deaf ear to the appeal of the
needy they may sometime regret but
too late to remedy. Remember there
are different characteristics and peo-
pie we meet are not all dull, because
they are sensitive, perhaps unduly
so, yet they have feelings that are a
part of their nature and when tramp
led on by others give evidence of re-
sentiment which they have a perfect
right to do.-Granite Falls Tribune.

1t is said that a faker has been
working the northren part of the state
selling pump that needed no pipes
nor fittings. He had sold one to a
farmer and the pump was placed over
the we'll and the farmer started to
pump. He pumped and pumped but
no water. "What is the matter, -
asked the farmer. 1.-THE sucker is
on the wrong end,' replied the faker
as he made his hurried exit. There
is a moral to the above which needs
no explanation. .-Ex.
1t frequently happens that horses
are left tied to posts on hot days from
one to four hours and then driven
home without food or water, and peo-
pie call themselves humane. The
same thing occurs in winter but peo-
pie do not pay much attention to it.
If only those who perpetrate such
deeds could be used the same it would
help. If there is He'll those who abuse
dumb~brutes will be occupying seats
of honor there. if such seats are fur
nished, but we have doubt if the
devil would seat his guests. ts.-Granite

Cyrus Citizen What might have
been a most disastrous fire was mar
rowly averted Wednesday about noon
by John Steen, who kept his presence
of mind and fought the flames down.
The coffee urn at H. M. Ettesvold s
Restaurant failed to burn properly
and John lit a smaller urn which was
placed by the large one in order to
keep the coffee warm while he got the
other one in shape. He was pouring
gasoline into the reservoir from a half
gallon measure, when either some Of
the gasoline spattered onto the flame
Of the smaller urn or the vapor,
caused by pouring the gasoline ignited.
The contents of the c2n which he held
caught fire and spread to the shelving.
John however. kept cool, and by quick
action, succeeded in quenching the
flames. One Of his hands was badly
burned, which he will not be able to
use for some days at least. The wind
at the time was high and, had the
fire gained headway beyond the con-
troll of our fire department, the whole
business section of the village would
ave been wiped out.
