Professor zander's Lucky Thirteen

Professor J. A. Zandcr, the expert
pianist who officiatcs at the Prin-

iust the right thing.
As he was leaving Los Angeles, it
was ON Friday the 18th, his berth
was No. l3. the engine was No 10,
and there were thirteen ears iu the
train, and il is a cinch that It was a
lucky day that the genial professor
made mp his mind that Demine was
the proper place for his musical ac-
tivities.
incidentally, Professor Zander was
n former resident of Kalamazoo,
Michigan. where he had charge Of
some important musical interests.

The Year lust Drawing to a Close
Has Been One Of Progress and
Prosperity for Everybody
GREAT PROFIT IN PINK BEAMS
Tomatoes Grown In Our Mever-FaiI-
ing Sunshine Have Become Fa-
nous Over the Southwest

The year l0l6, taking it alto
gethcr has been one Of the most pros
porous for Mimbres Valley farmers
Iiat We have ever seen. remarked n
prominent farmer to the Graphic
TIN, week, and then he went on to
relate that crops had been excellent
and that high prices had prevailed
during the entire year
Several farmers have dropped in
10 the Graphic office within the past
three days, aud ii Is very gratifying
to 'puw that there isn't kick com
n- from any one Of them. Every
farmer who has raised crop Of
leans has realized from S55 TO s65
an acre met profit, aud we know of
a large number of farmers who have
raised 49, high a- twelve 10 fourteen
hundred pounds of beans per acre. II
IS more than likely that the general
average would he better than 900
pounds. This j. equally true Of other
crops of almost every variety, when
compared vi b an average yield.
Feed crops have all been unusually
good. and when il comes TO tomatoes,
the Mlmhre- Valley raises the best
favored and the most saleable prod
Q cts that can be grown in the United
States, aud when il comes to proiita-
bl, indus Try for the farmers II means
% uot profit of not less than SO per
uuv. counting everything that can be
estimated a- cost of production.
The-c statements are all very easy
a. geriticalion, and no customer who
this winter cniUg any one of the
four hundred thousand cans of iona
toes put up By the Mimbres Valley
Canning Company would say that the
statement concerning the flavor is
ANY thing but the gospel truth.
So far as wc can possibly ascer-
tain, increased acreage will be put
iu pf practically every crop that is
crown in the valley.
10 goes without saying that our
htc-.ork interests are getting bet
jer and hctier every month, the grade
being improved and the cattlomen
awe sure uf permanent prosperity.
Jr-, a- we were writing this story
Secretary Martin Keif, of the Hon
Gale On Buyers Association, drop
ned in,o the officc and told Of one of
hi, ns ahhor- who raised $3.50 WORTH
or tomatoes 900 three acres this year,
and said that ali ihe tomato growers
in that vicinity would increase the
troagc Tor the coming year. Tie
said among other things that the
factory could have sold q million
aus of tomatoes this year il thet
could have produced them. This on
account Of the fact hat the flavor Of
Nimbrc. Valley tomatoes is becoming
