Mexican Zarapes are blankets wo-
ven by the Mexicans entirely by
hand from fine quality of wooden
yarn. They are lighter weight than
Indian blankets and for this reason
are very suitable for couch covers,
portiers, lap robes and throws. They
are used by the native Mexicans as
blankets or wraps. Characteristic
of the Mexican taste, they are wo-
ven in brighter colors than the ordi-
nary Indian rugs, but the color COM
bnations are exquisitely harmonized
and lend distinctly foreign air not
found in any other form of native
weaving. We have a choice line.

Deming, N. M, Dec. 4.-Deming

vertising campaign for 1913 stronger
than ever. More mediums are to be
added to its list and the Mimbres
valley and its fertility is to be her.
aided throughout the United States
in real booster style.
Dem!ng is no doubt the town with
the largest number of boosters per
capita in New Mexico. No one Of
the Windmill Town lets an opportu-
nifty for telling of the marvellous
land and its possibilities pass. The
press and public in general through
out the state recognize the fact that
Deming is deserving Of the highest
praise for her wonderful develop
ment in the past years and bouquets
are showered upon the lively city.
The Silver City Enterprise recently
gave Deming a logical boost as fol-
lows:
"Deming is a sturdy little town
whose equal is not of this mundane
sphere. In the face of innumerable
obstacles and of doubt and skepti-
csm she has developed a wonderful
agricultural acreage right under the
nose of the Elephant Butte dam and
has shown the world at large what
perseverance coupled with energy,
thrift and push can do for a COM
munty. Apparently without re-
sources ten years ago, slowly dying
with dry-rot, the reawakening of
Deming will some day form a most
interesting chapter of New Mexican
history when a Ralph Waldo witch
ell shall in the future chronicle the
doings Of the present day.
"Deming discovered shallow water
beneath her rich loamy soil, or rather
some enterprsing spirits who hap.
pened along were informed Of the
fact. Forthwith they cast their lot
with Deming and commenced the
uplift of those whose lot was not so
acknowledgment. They "hollered"
Deming so long and so loud that the
echoes reverberated up and down
the Mississippi valley and clear to
the Atlantic seaboard on the east
and the Pacific on the west. As
consequence they have population
from practically every state in the
union.
The transformation in Deming
has been truly marvellous. Hand
some business blocks have gone up
on sites formerly occupied by ram.
shackle old buildings and upward to
seventy-fve beautiful bungalows
have been built within the last year.
A new court house and high school
and several new churches complete
long list of building activity that
has quite transformed the old town.
No one begrudges Deming her
growth and prosperity. 1t is well
earned by long, welI-directed and
intelligent effort and the same meth
DDS applied elsewhere will put life
into any old set of dry municipal
bones"

ALBUQUERQUE MERCHANTS
AND THE PARCELS POST

The new parcels post law which
becomes effective the first of next
year has been the subject Of consid-
cradle acrimonious discussion pro
and con; but it seems fairly certain,
whatever the other merits or demer-
its of the law, that it is going to be
one of the greatest little laws that
ever happened so far as Albuquerque
is concerned. Albuquerque mer-
chants who do a mail order business
and those who would like to do a
mail order business have been doing
a little figuring and the net result is
a very cheerful and general smile
upon the local mercantile counte-
nance. The parcels post law will
give Albuquerque business men a
most strategic position as far as the
business of the entire state of New
Mexico is concerned; as far as the
smaller towns within a fifty or 100
mile radius is concerned, the law
will enable them to get anything the
local merchants can supply much
more cheaply than they can get it
from Denver, or Kansas City, or
Chicago. Albuquerque journal.

PASTORATE CLOSED.

Sunday morning and evening
very large audiences filled the
Congregational church for the
services which marked the end
of Rev. H. j. Newton's ministry
in Bradford. There was nothing
distinctive about either service to
mark the event. Fine special mu-
sic was prepared and the church
was decorated with goldenrod.
Mr.. Newton preached two very
able sermons, clearly bringing out
practical truths for this practical
age from the life stories of Mos
es and Elijah. One of the unusual
features of this brilliant preach
er's sermons has been his ability
to make the Bible, not a reposi-
tory of a dead, dry past, but a
vital, living portrayal of the fore
es going on today in life. He has
made the traditional characters of
the Bible real persons of every
day living, whose life histories
can point a way for US today by
showing us many of the pitfalls
which humanity is liable to STUN
BILE into, without guidance. The
town regrets the closing of pas
torate which has been character
ed by strong and fearless preach
ing, and which has not been mar
red by any unpleasant incidents.
While we wish them every sue
cess in their new field, we feel
sorry that the pleasant relations
here are at an end.

AGRICULTURAL MEETING ON
AUG. 8th AT BRADFORD.

AOO' Oil II L OhO.
F. H. Bickford's farm is to be
the scene of a big agricultural
meeting Thursday afternoon, the
8th. The State Commissioner of
Agriculture, o. L. Martin, will be
present, having in charge the pro-
gram of the afternoon. Demon
stration talks on the dairy COW
and the horse will be given by
Hon. Andrew Elliott of Gait, Ont.
Mr.. Elliott has been heard here
before and the farmers know that
it is great opportunity to hear
a practical talk on these import
ant factors in farm life. Orchard
demonstrations will be given by
the horticultural department by
the State Agricultural College and
Lydia Parsons of Forest, Ont. will
talk on Woman's work in Canada.
Added to the advantage of hear
ing these talks will be. the op-
portunity of having the farming
plant of the Bickford establish
ment at the disposal of the speak
ers for the purpose of illustration.
A large attendance of those in
terested in practical and scientific
farming is wanted. Here is a fine
chance for the farmers to go to
school for day to learn the ad-
vanced methods of doing every
day farming.
The speakers will appear before
the Grange meeting in Bradford
in Grange hall, LO.O.F. block,
that evening to give interesting
talks. Changers should not ne
glect this meeting, but should bear
the date in mind.
