Sir william Maeersaor VIII Long De
Remembered for He Good Work
In West Africa

Sir william Macgregor was not the
least OF the bits Of good luck which
this empire owes to the Scottish strain
OF II. In the far-sundered areas Of
West Africa and the Western Pacific
he achieved distinction which win not
pass.
The world knew more OF him as Pa.
cific high commissioner than a. gov
ernor OF Lagos. but to many Europeans
in West Africa. and to those folk Of
long memories. the African races. he
will always be Macgregor Of Lagos, the
pioneer sanitarian who began proc
esses which have made Lagos a place
livable for the European and more
llyable than ever before TO Its teem-
Ing African population.
The pedant may say that "circum-
spice" scarcely applies where the bene-
factor has only cleansed air and roads
and purified water sources; neverthe
less, 10 no man could II be attached
more fitly than to MacGegor for his
work In that steady hive Of activity.
The natives had q real affection for
him. for they knew he believed In
them, and Africans, like most other
sons Of Adam. esteem that even above
good drains and pure water. He had
very clear appreciation Of the ter
rible danger Of German rule In the
tropics just because OF Its thorough
ness.
There are endless stories Of him on
the coast. One Is Of an Official who.
after a tour in the bush. told the gov
ernor Of an exceptional juju he had
seen-"exactly like a human being.

WAS THE FAIR A SUGGEST

(By A. c. Heyman, Agricultural Agt.l
The answer 10 the question depends
OH the viewpoint Of the one making the
answer. Some will judge from size,
beauty or arrangement, quality. amuse-
ments. or the number OF visitors at
tracted. II is true that all the ele,
ments mentioned are essential TO n
successful fair. And our fair, while
lacking In some OF them, possessed
enough OF each TO be called a decided
success.
But we judge the Luna County Fair
from an entirely different angle. The
question that presents itself to our
mind Is: "Will II sufficiently empha-
size the fact that the interests Of the
town and country people are ultimate
ly oney" On the answer to this ques-
ton hinges the success or failure Of the
fair.
The long headed businessman who
takes a long-range look at the past
weeks festivities sees In Il the hope Of
the future. He knows by observation
that stable business In a town depends
on the stable Industries In and about
the town. He also knows that well
established agricultural community Is
the most stable of all Industries. Look
ing at the matter In this wise the mer.
chant Of acumen does not care wheth-
er or not his contribution to the fair
has ben returned to him through the
temporary increase Of business during
fair week.
We have talked with only a few Of
the heaviest contributors. and these
men, Judging from the large viewpoint,
answer that the fair has been a gen.
uine success They know that their
interests are closely related to the In
terests and successes Of the farmers
and they are quite willing TO do all in
their power TO help solve the problems
that heretofore have hindered Luna
county farm development.
Parallel with this Judgment Is the
judgment OF the most progressive Of
the farmers. They feel that they will
succeed best when working I'm full co.
operation and sympathy with the In
terests of their town and they welcome
any movement that will unite the
country and town people into a solid
front TO work their common problems
out In common.
The fair, by enabling the farmers TO
become acquainted with the success
and failures OF their fellow workers
have given them a new hope and In
SEPARATION and sent them forth with new
courage and a dogged determination
to do their best the coming year. And
when any community Is sufficiently in
spired with this spirit, its difficulties
will be mastered and Is efforts crown
ed with success
In the staging OF our fair no better
team work was ever accomplished
anywhere, thanks be TO the citizens OF
Deming and the farmers. And the con-
tributiOn OF each individual was i'm
portant to the success OF the venture
no matter how insignificant II might
have seemed to the one performing the
service. With such spiri OF co-opera-
ion Deming and Luna couny Is bound
to forge ahead. The future depends
on keeping this spirit alive.

The Farmer and
His Newspaper,

You are a farmer and sub
scriber to the local newspaper.
Do you ever do anything to SEE
that the editor of that paper de.
votes a juet proportion of it to
agricultural 3 matters? Many
other farmers take it. II it is
published in email communi-
ty. perhaps the majority Of its
subscribers are farmers They
have q right to insist that it ca
ter to'their interests in a fair
proportion.
The editor makes his living
by giving the people what they
want. Sometimes it is hard
for him to find out what that is.
You can help him by expressing
your appreciation of agriculture
al items which he publirhes.
If he finds that people are read.
ing his rural columns and ap-
preciating them, he will devote
more of his paper to them. To
a large extent it is up to you.
Don't make him work in the
the dark. Drop him a letter or
call him up on the telephone and
tell him that you like his paper
and think that his farming notes
are the best thing in u. He'll
print more of them. II your 10
cal paper carries nothing of ru-
raj interest. it is your own fault
You haven't made the editor
understand that YOU want it
