Dramatically, Deming and the Mimbres
Valley is favored beyond any region in America.
It is climate that puts ginger into you. The
winters are mild, the thermometer rarely
reaches zero. There is never day in winter
thatit is too cold to do general farm work. In
summer you are not parboiled you do not steam
in your clothes. The air is dry. While not adver-
tised as health resort exactly, still for the fam
lily with an invalid or haf-invalid in it, this eli
mate offers ideal conditions for the recovery
of such a ones health.
2-As home town, Deming offers the best
advantages. For many years its schools have
been Of the very best, and now they are perhaps
superior to any in New Mexico Six religious
denominations have active churches in Deming.
There is practically no foreign element, so that
social life is unrestrained, democratic and pleas
ant.

does not get poisoned with weeds. His melons
and garden truck are not rotted with silly wa
ter; he does not lose three inches from each al
falfa crop due to the deadening of the lower por-
ton of the stalk by dirty water.
7-Deming is a town that believes in CO
operative effort. When you move into some
towns you are compelled to become member
of faction, and commence fighting your neigh
bors. In Deming it is different. There are no
factions in Deming. There is a spirit Of har-
mOny and cooperation. All work together for
the good of Deming. Deming is progressive
Deming is going ahead all the time
Now bethink yourself Can you afford to
longer delay your investigation of this places
You are losing money by deferring your investi-
cation. Deming is going ahead whether you
come or not, but why not go ahead with herr

3-Deming has the best railroad facilities
Of any town in the state. You are not out on
the frontier in Deming; you are within three
hours of FL Paso, six hours of Albuquerque,
twenty-four hours Of Los Angeles. You are by
no means in an out-of-the-way place. Deming
is the easiest town in the state to get into and
out of. Furthermore the railroads furnish
wide market for the products grown in the Dem
ing country.
4Deming has the purest water in Amer
lea. Drinking Deming, water, you have the
heavenly satisfaction of knowing that YOU are
drinking no contagion. A case Of typhoid fever
never originated in Deming. You do not want
to take your family where there is any question
about the purity Of the water supply You are
taking their lives in your hand whenever you do.
Deming water is good by every test, not exclud-
ing the long and best test of experience.

5-The agricultural resources of the Dem
ing country are practically unlimited. In every
direction from Deming stretches the level fertile
valley Of the Mimbres. Every ten acres is ca
pable of supporting a family. Over one hun
dred thousand such acres lie around Dening,
and this land is being brought rapidly under
irrigation. When the reclamation is completed,
it will mean that Deming viii be the largest city
In New Mexico.
6-In the Mimbres Valley you viii find
system Of irrigation excelling that Of any other
section. Each farmer has his own independent
water right. He gets his water when he wants
it. He does not have to wait on the sanction Of
the ditch-bOss. He does not have to take his
turn. His water is there for him all the time, at
any hour of the day or night. Hence, his crops
get water when they need it. This is an immense
advantage. Using clear well water, his farm
