Alamogordo.' \. NJ, Feb. 24.-Ala-
mogordo. In her campaign for prog
rcss and the development II her rich
surrounding resources, has received
some good advice and q big boost from
Deming. whose citizens are proverhial
all over the southwest as thc original
inventors of the ginger germ. a
large number OF this bacillus was
left here n few days since by a dele
gation from the Mimbrcs valley. In
.cluding some Of he prize bOostmns-
trcs-Eeneral of that famous district
\ big meeting was held nt the court
house and the visitors. la exchange
for "a most enjoyable program Of en-
tertainment. left some splendid proc-
teal advice for Alnmogofd". the fruit
Of successful experience ut Deming.
The party consisted OF Willard y.

Of the Commercial cluh presided at
the meeting and introduced the
speakers. there being also a number
of rafting good addresses by Alamo

MIR. Hollis address was as follows;

OF $500 TO start a publicity campaign.
Now hat is "a mighty good thing for
you to do. but Il Will not go far
enough to bring you many good pe0-

I'VE have given special attention to
irrigation pumping, and have made
OF IL a very signal OF success. A few

cry. Several other dealers are doin.
an extensive business, and Othess are
starting In the game from time to
time.
II spea kef these things because
the natural conditions OF the Sacra-
monte valley appear 10 be similar TO
those OF the Mimbres valley. that Is,
you have this same Identical altitude,
LACKING about twelve feet, which real
~ would amount 10 very little OF
course. You have underground wa
ter. as get. almost undcvoloped. Per
hnps less in volume. but there Is no
doubt but that you have got an
abundance of water when you apply
the scientinc methods IN the construc-
ton OF your wells. ] nav Deen very
much Interested today in the wells I
have seen-you arc ON the right track,
only you want 10 make your tracks
bigger.
AN ounce OF faith In yourself Is
worth a ton Of experience, and IL Is
equally true that there Is more real
proof In n thimblo full OF experience
than a whole bushel Of talk. We have

The good sense 10 walk ON a.
New Mexico has greater natural
possibilities than any state ever be-
fore admitted to the union, We have
one thing that IL not possessed or
cannot be possessed by m other
state. and that Is our matchless eli
mate. We can build q city any time
on that alone by a proper system of
publicity but when We have the water
and the soil combined with the eli
mate we are three fold strong. with
our splendid possibilities We can in
wife our best friends to New Mexico,
knowing that We are doing them a
personal favor. Few % US perhaps
realize that we are almost an indie
pendent monarchy In he sense of be-
ing Independent la he production OF
everything hat is needed TO sustain
life.
II was delighted the other day 60
note what your AR. Mitchell IL doing

prizes for agricultural products, MS
a bully good idea, keep II eoing. !
