Rev, n. [. Nichols.

Rev. Fl. l.. Nichols. pastor Of the
Methodist church, on Loyalty to Home
interests" said:
Our city has a history of which we
may well be proud. The time was
when she was the metropolis Of this
entire section. Strong, intelligent
men in business, in industrial and
political affairs, in literary and educa =
tional pursuits. were pre- -eminently
successful, and made the name of Hal
lowell synonymous with enterprise and
success.
Today. we should be loyal to the
traditions OF the past, not by simply
treasurinS its pleasant memories. but
by rcEiving and perpetuating the spirit
of our fathers, by showing the same
enterprise and overcoming tac same
difficulties as did they.
Then, too, the present fair name of
our city should be defended by its loyal
citizens, and every belittling or con-
telnptuous Mord should be resented and
rebuked. Hallowell is still on the
map and viii remain there so long as
her citizens are loyal To her interests.
Unless her own people stand for her
dignity. We cannot expect outsiders to
respect her above our uyvM estimate

These conditions are often the result
of washing the hair with soap. The al

ten thousand class. Confidence
in the future Of the Aimbres Val
ley enhances the value of Deming
real estate.
The secret of the steady up
ward trend of prices IN the MINI
bres Valley lies in the demon
strated fertility Of the soil and
the abundance of the water. Pure
soft water in any quantity you
wish is available for irrigation.
This bare statement may not
mean much to the man mac-
quainted with the possibilities Of
irrigation, but to the man who
knows what virgin desert soils
will produce when under irriga-
ton, it means a great deal. $500
per acre is not an extraordinary
yield for onions in the Mimbres
Valley; with any sort of care. al
falfa nets from $50 to $50 per
acre; beans can be counted upon
to produce net from $50 to $50
per acre. Fruit is, of course, won
derfully profitable, as has been
demonstrated by the orchards
twenty or thirty miles north Of
Deming and also by the trees in
the yards of Deming. CONNER
cial orchards in the vicinity of
Deming there are none in bear
ing. The country is young, and
while there are numbers and
numbers of young orchards SET
out, none are old enough to bear.

per acre up to $500 per acre.

A ten acre tract Of land near
Deming was rented the other day
for $25 per acre per year, and the
rental contract signed up for five
years. The well and pumping
plant on this place cost about
$500. Raw land in the same vicin-
ity can be purchased at from $75
to 500 per acre. Say you buy ten
acres at 800 per acre, thus in
vesting $1,000 in raw land. Say
you spend $50 per acre in devel-
oping wafer and leveling the land
ready for the water. You have a
total investment Of $500. Then
you rent the ten acres for $25 per
acre, OF $3.50 per year for the
tract. After deducting $50 per
year for depreciation on the
pumping plant, and anOUnef SZO
for taxes and incidentals you
have a net return from this ten
acres of $500 per year. This re-
turn for an investment in real
estate, the safest of all invest
ments, is certainly not to be
sneezed at. Almost fifteen per
cent net, and if the return is that
large upon land when it is rented
out, how about it when it is farm
ed by the owner? Mind you, this
is not a story about what might

done around Deming every day.
Search the country over, and
you viii not find spot where q
few thousand dollars will go 50
far towards an independence as
in the Mimbres Valley.
A gentleman bought a business
lot in Deming a few months ago
for $11O0. This was considered
a rather steep price, but this gen
tIeman was Just back from an ex-
tensive prospecting tour of the
Pacific states and Canada, and
when he got back to Deming he
was in a buying mood. So he
paid the $11OO for the lot, and
this week he sold this same lot
for $4,000, an advance of 1000 in
less than three months. In the
parlance of the street, that is go
ing some. It is safe to say that
business property has enhanced
1910 within the last six months;
many place it at 1000 in the last
three months. The reason is that
property holders have come to
see that the tremendous area sur
rounding Deming capable Of irri-

900 inhabitants. A few more
years Of growth like the one just
past and Deming will be in the
