cevied in Deming Thursday from the

feeling III and DR.. p. M. Steed was

About 8 80 the same afternoon Mrs.
Nordhaus sank into unconsciousness
and died before medical aid could

was called but death had cnsued ut
the family home on Spruce street.
Mrs. Nordhaus was beloved by all

Morris Nordhaus, leading merchants
Of this city and a daughter, Mrs.

d b Furnish the Funds.


u seems certain that Lnna county
is to have the long promised agricul-
tural expert which has been. and is,
needed so badly. A communication
from President George T.. Ladd OF
the New Mexico College of Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts states that
the Department Of Agriculture and
the college are willing to spend ST.
500 a year to maintain this service,
II Luna county will pay the expen-
SEES of the work, amounting to about
$1,000 y year. The two sums mean
that the very best talent can be pro-
cured, aud that there will be enough
left Ia make the work effective,
through personal contact of the dem
onstrator with the farmers Of the
Mimbres Valley and proper publicity,
disseminating the information which
is required.
HAPPY CONSERVATION
u seems that only three counties
in New Mexico will receive this OPP
portuniiy. Al n meeting of the board
of directors of the Demine Chamber
of Commerce, il was decided to meet
the requirements fully by whatever
method appeared proper. The cham
ber of commerce has long recognized
the desirability Of having II farm
demonstration. and has made efforts
ut different periods 10 secure one.
The expense. however, for first class
service seemed to place il beyond
reach at that me. Keen business
men have known that large amounts
Of money are bcing squandered ON
unscientific experimentation by in
dividuals, farming under strange
conditions due to climatic conditions
aud irrigation pumping. The work
Of farm demonstrator will quickly
be- recognized by the superior class
of American farmers who have set
tied in the Mimbres Valley, and who
propose to develop the agricultural
resources in spite Of any sort of dis
couraging circumstances. Nowhere
will the efforts al scientific farming
meet with quicker returns in dollars
and cents.
COUNTY n. q. COOPERATES
In connection with the county ag-
ent, chosen and working under the
direction of the Department Of Ag-
riculture, the Luna County High
School will maintain Il department
devoted to the teaching of agricul-
tural subjects. A farm of tweni,
acres adjacent to the high scho"'
building has already been purchased
and cleared, and water will be d.
veloped at once. This will be- undf'
charge of u competent teacher who's
selection is now under advisement o'
the board of education. BY proper
cooperation. the prospective, as well
as the actual farmers. will receive
the instruction which will mean the
early development of all available
lands in the great shallow water belt
MUST ORGANIZE
President Ladd will meet at an
early date with the board of directors
TO make final arrangements for the
initiation of the movement. u will
be necessary for some incorporated
body to take the responsibility in the
matter for cooperation with the ag'
ricultural college and for hiring thu
demonstration in accordance with thu
plan anproved by the Department OF
Agriculture. The hoard Of count,
commissioners. the farmers associa
tion, or the chamber of commerce
probably will be designated.

ROAD RACE BOOSTERS
Went TO silver CITY
0slsoauen Of Motor Enthusiasts
welcomed In hIll City Wednes-
day; Arrangements Made.
WARM CONTEST Is PROMISED


The details for the big road race
will be arranged at Haywood Hot
Springs Sunday, August %, at which
time the motor enthusiasts of Dem
ing and Silver City will meet. This
was settled Wednesday in Silver
City, when a large number of Deming
citizens went to boost the meet. just
what the plans are and the date is
as yet uncertain. The race will, how
ever be held the latter part of next
month and will have the character
Of dual meet, Deming ears versus
Silver City ears.
WARM CONTEST
The delegation of boosters went
up in four automobiles with banners
flying. aud were met by the live wires
of the city in the hills, the suggestion
for a dual meet meeting with instant
response. II is certain that ten or
more cars will be entered from both
cities and that the race will be- n
regular "speedfest". The ears of
Silver City are above the average in
efficiency. being built for the hill
climbing in that section, and their
power in many instances is greater
than the highest powered ear in Dem
ing. This will be M great advantage,
however, since the road race will
be over hundred miles in length. up
hill aud down. winding over the val
ley among the mesquite, with fords
and short turns.
ROAD is GOOD
The road, even now, is in fairly
good condition and small amount
Of money will make it first class.
The rains have laid the dust and
packed the roadbed, but there are u
number of bad washes in the arroyas,
due to the same cause. The road
boards of Grant and Luna counties
have promised to place their respec-
tive sections in order. The Deming
Automobile Association will raise
some funds among its members which
will be expended to the best advan-
tage. No doubt the Silver City
speeders will do as well or better.
A small section of the road near
Deming and another near Apache
Tajo are new, but will be pretty well
worn down by the time the race is
run.
PURSES WORTH WHILE
The matter of prizes will come up
at the haywood conference, and, it
is expected that the purses will be
well worth going after. The rules
Of the road will receive attention.
Starting. checking in and out. and
passing, caused some annoyance last
year. 1t is certain that the ears
will be stripped this year. Bulletins
will be issued at intervals in Deminp
and Silver City giving the location OF
the cars when passing Spalding
Haywood, and other places where
observation will be possible.
Those who made the run Wednes-
day were: Fred Sherman, Charles
Williamson, Thomas Hull, T. Seth
Hull and Mrs. Hull. Miss Clara
Wright, Everett Wells, Harry Love
John McTeer, Charles Hughes. Clyde
Earl Ely, Howard Connolly, Henry
Raithel, Sam Blackham.

Captain Mccain is anxious to have his team in the best possible condition, and his braves will have to add more stuff to their work.
