Just A Sensible Notion.

This week young man, who had
been reading our little stories from
week to week, came to the conclu-
sion that our small farms in the Lit
tie Vineyards tract. only one mile
from town. were about the best
land values to be found anywhere.
Well that was only sensible con-
clusion. What more could any
young man want? Here we have
the finest soil; we have water enough
to irrigate two such tracts; our land
is close to market; and best of all
our contracts are written to favor
the man of limited means. just
enough down to show your good in
tentions and the balance you can
pay for as ycu go along.
Get one of tracts and set il out
to fruit trees. while you are waiting
for the trees to come into bearing,
you can make big money by raising
truck-garden produce between the
rows. Once the frnit trees begin
to bear and your future is assured,
YOU can retire so to speak and have
no nightmares of old age poverty.
We have little book entitled the
Conservative Man" which we
would be pleased to send you. 1t may
cause you to see things in a differ
ent light.
We are always glad to answer
any and all questions that may arise
in your mind about Little Vineyards
land, if you will only call or write

Deming had the distinguished
honor, during the past week, of en-
tertainlng the New Mexico and
Arizona Presbyterian Synod, the
big meeting being one of very great
Importance. as it separates the two
new states and makes two synOds
instead of one, the rapid develope-
ment of the states making such u
move necessary.
The sessions were all of extreme
interest and the result of the delib-
crations will have much to do in
building up and strengthening both
synods.
Deming homes were gladly
opened to the distinguished guests,
who are loud in their praises of our
hospitality, the elimination ofwhich
was shown in the reception given
by the ladies of the church at the
hcme of DR.. and Mrs. Swope, Fri
day evening, upon which happy oc-
casion refreshments were served and
an instrumental program rendered
in their usually high class manner
by Messrs Hodgden and Wamel. The
hospitality was so cordial and agree
able that the guests passed a unan-
imous vote of thanks at the close of
the reception.
