A gentleman commenting upon the fact that Deming

two facts one Just adverted to- and the other that

works for Demng first, for the state of New Mexico
next and third for the whole Southwest Prof. J. d.
Tinsley Agricultural Demonstration for the Santa Re
System in New Mexico, said recently IN newspaper
interview that the Deming country Is blazing the way
for the whole southwest IN the matter OF pumping
water for irrigation, and while developing its
sources is thereby adding untold millions of wealth to
other sections where conditions are similar.
Deming was the first to attract capital from out OF
the state to be loaned for the installation of pumping
plants The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co., after
thorough and exhaustive investigation of the Demng
country by Lee A Phillips who charge OF Its loan
department, is now placing $l00000.0O In the MINI
bres Valley to be used In actual development work.
MI Phillips declared while here that he considerd
farm watered by an individual pumping plant under
conditions such as obtain IN the Mimbres Valley to be
absolutely the highest class of farm security In the
world

The development of the Mimbres Valley taking
place at the present time has In many of the elements
of magic For people less adept In the use of me-
chancal devices to secure their ends than the American
people are the Mimbres Valley would have remained
a silent and unresponsive waste forever To this
deserts challenge there was no answer save what has
been givenit VIZ the application of cheap and effective
mechanical devices whereby the hidden waters.
twenty, thirty, fifty and even one hundred feet be-
meath the surface are made to course through the inter-
lacing canals of the irrigated farms appearing to the
distant observer like so many silver ribbons laid upon
background of deep green and obeyng the will of the
farmer as if gifted with intelligence. The method of
obtaining this water appears to unaccusomed eyes like
magic the results like wizardry. The achemist of old
dreamed on transmitting baser metals into gold; the
modern practical farmer of the Mimbres Valley is too
busy to dream, but by the application of scientific
methods, from season to season. he turns water into
gold
Much surprise has been expressed In various
quarters at the marvellous growth and development of
the Deming country within such short space of time
The explanation does not lie entirely in the fact that
the abundant water supply of the Mmbres Valley was
discovered only short time ago to be economically
accessible For years Deming had had advantages
superior to those of many of the most favored towns of
the state Its location IN the center of vast mining and
and stock-raisng territory had given it long start
The building of the FL Paso & Southwestern railroad
into Demng about ten years ago laced Demng ahead
of any other point In the state as a railroad center
There was earl developed a strong sentiment in favor
of public Schools and for years Demng has been noted

the New as beauty. a philanthrop!st

n Good Housekeeping as declaring

makers themselves, with. OF course,
some distinguished exceptions. are un-
certain in their attitude toward the
new and experimental modes. They
mistrust their own skill in drapery-
and with good cause-thcy do not quite
understand the handling OF the new
sleeves.
And so one sees many new frocks
that are exceedingly like those OF
yester year and many others In which
the ideas of this year are simply ira
vested. 1t takes time for the army
of little dressmakers to adjust them
selves to the fashion acrobatics of the
Rue de la PaiX.
But along with the mistakes and
ia ilures are successes enough to leaven
the mass. and for women of taste this
summer promises to be a season of
particularly attractive dressing.
One need not so in for the extremes

straight soantness of last seasons
