Deming Is a thing of the past. It IS electrically
lighted, has a system of water-works, a thor
oughly modern sanitary sewer system, and many
miles of cement sidewalks. 1t IS the center of

Deming you seem to be IN the center of a vast
plain whose rim IS gray or purple mountains that
seem to rise directly out of the plain They are
on many sides, not continuous, but detached
masses, and all about you Is level land which
has been filled and lifted up by the fertile de-
posts Of river and mountain through centuries
and ages. The scenery Is typical of the old
west, vast rugged and picturesque; but the ac-
tvity IS of the new west where irrigation IS con-
vertng the vast cattle ranges into farms and
orchards
The climate Is distinct asset. The MINI
bres Valley Is the sunniest corner of the Sun
shine State. There are generally three hundred
days IN the year IN which the sun shines all or
part of the day. This means health. Germs are
bonn of warmth and moisture. They flourish IN
humid air that Is hot From the earliest DAYS the
dry lands have been the lands of health. 1t Is
hot here IN June and July; but the air Is dry.
Evaporation IS rapid; you do not steam in your
clothes. You are not parboiled. The surface
cools quickly. The nights are cool; mornings
are fresh and sparkling. There Is tonic IN the
air. The homemaker who has~an invalid In his

G. last week. A game was not played
last season because the weather was
. not suitable so the championship has
been undecided for two years.
The A. G.. first and second teams
arrived in the city last night and this
morning the college band and a big
crowd of rooters came in on a special
train. This evening the university will
give a reception and a dance in honor
be held e. until this part of the pro-
gram is finished. Coach Reuben. who
accompanied his men here last night,
said that he was very doubtful about
the outcome of the contest. but that
his men were in good shape.

the normal was beaten here last Sat-
urday by the university second team.
The u. n. D. cam will leave Thurs
