We arc not aware that world peace gains anything by Kaiser wiIhelm's climbing onto the water wagon. That potcntate long since assured us that he was not sufficiently addicted to strong drink ever to disturb his men tai balance. What may have been his tank capacity in days Of wildcat sowing and heavy drinking bouts, be fore power and great responsibility fell upon him, is not a part of the ndcstion. What we know is that ac- cession to power sobered him, as it did Henry V. in Shakespeare's play, and that if he had any Fslstaffs in bis train he renounced them and turned his back upon the danger oi the temptation their continued com ranionship would mean to a msl' with the destinies of a nation upon his back and the peace of millions in the hollow of his hand.

 ''The Spalding- Fisher company has just placed an order for 15 gasoline engine-a whole trainload of them. as three of them fll a car-and has already completed about 20 wells on the tract which it is putting into eulti- yation. An immense tractor is daily dragging a big disc ploy over the rich prarie, turning under the sod and preparing the land for planting. The Miessa company, nearer to Deming is cutting it's land into small tracts and will irrigate them by means of elec- t1icaIIy driven pumps. The wires have already been strung from Deming to the land and wells are being put down and pumps installed. The company is putting the land into cultivation and win sell it this way to the purchaser. Nobody is being asked to buy unculti- vated. uRimproved land, but the own CTS are putting the land, into crops, demonstrating before sale what can be done with the soil Herein lies one Of the secrets of Deming's success.
