Clan GATHERING
M|MBRES FARMERS
Oil Buyers Association Calls
Meeting for O'clock
Saturday
AT COUNTY COURT HOUSE
Will Consider Employment of
Agricultural Expert for
this Season

A great elan gathering Of the
Mimbres Valley farmers 10 scheduled
for o'clock next Saturday after.
noon at the county court house.
The meeting Is called by the mem.
bers Of the Oil Buyers Association
to consider the matter of engaging
the services Of an agricultural ex.
pert. There are but $3.50 to raise
among the farmers and citizens of
the city to obtain the services of a
competent man who will draw a
salary Of $500 the first year. The
Deming Chamber Of Commerce is
contributing $3.50 and the crop com.
mittee of the Council Of Grain Ex.
changes Of Chicago will furnish
$1,000.
pHOnGD NJ pbEAni GhNi.
The offer of the Council Of Grain
Exchanges Is backed by the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture and the depart
ment will assume the 81, 900 a year
payment after the first year II the
various counties that have qualified
keep up their payments.
A committee from the chamber Of
commerce waited upon the members
of the Oil Buyers Association at
their meeting last Saturday and of.
fered the $3.50 to the farmers of the
valley through that organization.
r. C. Ely presented the matter in a
very forceful way pointing out the
great drain on the resources of this
section through the misdirected ef-
fort Of farmers unfamiliar with
local conditions under which they
are laboring. The members of the
Oil Buyers Association were enthu-
siastic over the matter and it Is al
most certain that the Mimbres Val.
ley will enjoy the great benefits to
be derived from local experimental.
ton and the general dissemination
Of facts in regard to irrigation by
the pump system.
MUST FIGHT ALONE.
The visit of the demonstration
trains of the New Mexico College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts has
shown that the problems to be
solved in this valley are not even
under the consideration Of the edu.
Gators of that institution or any
other and that. as usual. Deming and
the Mimbres Valley must fight their
battles alone. From an economic
standpoint it would seem preferable
that. when experimentation 10 neces.
sary. its cost should be reduced by
cooperation. Under the present
system each farmer Is doing his owr
laboratory work. and without the
guide Of theoretical data. and the
consequent failures and losses are
growing alarming.
EXPERTS DUTIES.
The experts duties are not only
in the actual work Of producing, but
marketing as well. In many sec
tions Of the country the exper,
creates a market and fits the pro
duction to that produce which has
ready cash sale. In this way the
profits Of many middlemen. Yhf
often handle the produce, is savet
to the producer and the eaasanaaa
It seems probable that the present

And Mary, wondering, could but
agree.
Two days later Mary Fletcher
learned the truth. Her mother-in-
law had been away all the morning
ION business" she said. Mary washed
and dressed her child, busted herself
about the fiat, took the baby out for
an airing, returned and put him to
sleep before she heard her hostess
step on the stairs. Mrs. Fletcher's
tread was always heavy, but to-day
ii sounded even slower than usual,
and it was with a sense of apprehen-
sion that Mary ran out into the hall
Putting her arm about her as she
gained the top stair, she drew her
mother-in-la into the little parlor
and began to remove her bonnet.
You look tired out" she said
gently. Now don't try TO talk until
you get your breath"
Mrs Fletcher senior, said nothing
until she had put away her coat, bon
net and gloves Then she told Mary

The Importance of Note Writing

in pencil, or to use ruled paper, or yell
low, pink or other fanciful or varia-
gated paper, or envelopes of eccentric
shape. Anything startling or bizarre
in stationery is a violation of good
form. A note is folded carefully and
placed right side up in the envelope
If the envelope has been address 4
upside down, another envelope must
be substituted. The stamp is placed
evenly in the upper right-hant cor
ner of the envelone. A CroOkediy
stamped missive is discourteous.
A prompt reply to a note contrib
utes to the convenience of others. A
note of invitation is answered as son
as received and less important com
munications are answered at the ear
liest possible moment. There will be
less difficulty in replying If the rule
is followed not to let note grow
cold" on the desk.
Often there are opportunities to
give pleasure or consolation by Il
note. 1t may be that a friend has
returned from a long journey, or has
announced, an engagement IT pub
lished a book and might be made
very happy by few WORDS. 1t mdY
be that a friend has had a bereave-
ment. A note Of sympathy at that
time means very much. 1t is like 2
handclasp through space.

Are Handsome
Men Vainp
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

a RE handsome men vain--is that
II what you want to know young
woman-and you ask becaus-
oh, ] know why you ask He is
handsome or you think he is. or may
be he thinks he is-and brother has
warned you against him and mother
says he thinks too much Of him
self and you're afraid-and So.
Well, now, I don't know whether
this particular handsome man is vain
or not-but if he isn't he's freak of
nature-there never was a man on
EARTH handsome or ugly. who wasn't
vain.
The vainest woman who ever kept
you waiting for an hour while she
settled her ribbons and dabbed on just
a bit more powder is a modest vlo-
I let compared to the average man
Ugly or plain.
Haven't you noticed that
Open your eyes, friends-open your
eyes.
Look at that bow-legged little man
with the faded eyes-let's see, about
fifty odd, isn't he? Pretty heavy to
be out in such sun, don't you think?
See him look at the ladies-old,
young, pretty, uRly-they are all of
interest to him, and he thinks he's of
interest to every one Of them.
The Queen Of Sheba could step
down off her throne and tell the fat
little man that she was dying of love
for him, and he wouldn't be a bit sur
priSed-not he,
He'd Just sparkle his tired eyes and
twist his faded mustache and look as
much like a conquering hero as he
COuld-and never wonder once what
asylum the lady had escaped from.
Vain-men vainl Just tell man
you know that another man is good
looking, and see him vince Tell him
that another man has fine eyes, and
watch him shudder and warn YOU
against the other man. Tell him that
you think he is the handsomest man
that ever lived and see how family he
will deny the sweet accusation. 1t
doesn't make a bit of difference
whether he's handsome or not, he's
vain. anyway; so | wouldn't pay much
attention to that
A decent man is a pretty decent
sort of thing and well worth the low
ing day and night, and always and
ever even If he Is vain just bit
Let him be vain if he'll just be good
and kind and generous and steadfast
and honest and courageous and gem
tie, and that's what the majority of
men really try to be. ! believe, and
really are, too, most of them, 50

CHAPTER XII.

TARY FLETCHER had dreaded
MI confessing to her mother-in-
law what she had learned on
her visit downtown. She was dazed
and stunned by her mornings eXpe-
riences, vet she felt that this was no
time for subterfuge and was deter
mined to tell all that had happened
with the exception Of her encounter
with Gordon Craig. She remembered
with a thrill OF relief that Bert's mo-
Their had never heard of this man, and
she tried to forget that she herself
had seen him again. This was made
the easier by the painful thoughts that
came thronging to her mind. Where
was Bert? Would he return? How
would she and the baby live? She
could not be burden to her hus-
bands mother any longer. Though
she had Sinned in marrying man
she did not love, Heaven knew she
was being punished for it.
As soon as she entered the small
flat her pale face showed to the wom-
an anNiously waiting there that her
errand had been as disastrous as she
had feared it might he Yet Berts
mother gave evidence Of no surprise
when she heard the news that her
sons wife pityingly impaired To her
