started and then IT Kept up until after
daylight. Rain clouds still are float

THE MIMBRES VALLEY

The Mimbres Valley OF New Mexico
OF which Demj'g Is the capital, Is un-
der well irrigation. Wells producing
from 500 10 1.500 gallons per minute
dot the country and make the rich soils
productive.
Well irrigation In this valley has
many advantages, according 20 G. A.
Scott, staff correspondent OF the AL
buquerque Journal One gets all the
water one needs whenever one needs Il.
There are no floods, no noxious seeds

satisfactory all-rouhd plan Of irrigation

exhaustible, as II Is In the Mimbres val

The tillable section of this valley
comprises over 100000 acres. Quite a
variety Of soils are found, but all are
rich and productive. Or ~'ns, grasses.

alfalfa, beans. melons, apples peaches,
small fruits and vegetables, all OF
which bring rich returns TO the pro-

three crops annually ON the same soil !;
alfalfa, five 10 six cuttings.
Another crop well adapted 10 the
Mimbres Valley. experimental with for
few years past but being thoroughly
tried out this year, and with splendid
success. is cotton Eight hundred acres

a big yield Of superior quality.
A gin, now being erected In Deming,

will have good bank balance to his
credit. A great increase in acreage will
be planted next year.

CHRISTIAN UNITY"

A recrudescence Of bigotry is the
outstanding feature Of the efforts toI
unite the evangelical churches In one
organization. The realization of the
ideal would rob the world Of the fruits
of the reformation. There would again
be a universal church with its hierarchy
OF church politicians who would use
their power 10 force every knee to bend
at command.
At the present time christian with
out n church affiliatiOn Is able 20 main
ta In his viewpoint Practically all
churches force their communicnnts 10
accept man-made dOgmas that do yio-
lence 10 reason and are only acquiesc'
ed In with mental reservations. With
out fear OF persecution, a christian may
now change denominations, found n
new sect or build his own altar 10 his
own God and worship as suits his be
lief.
Things were not always thus. Re
ligious liberty. like civil liberty, cost
n struggle.
The time was when the church Of ST..
Peter-and there Is no other today
could excommunicate king and bring
him in bare feet to supplicate at Can
OsSa.
The movement toward so-called
christian unity Is a reaction toward
Canosa-and attempt to place the su-
preme temporal power again In the
hands Of spiritual lords
What'being right with Rome meant
to a king-a crown-would mean
| in terms of daily bread and independ-
ence to every christian today
| A on-conforming cobhler would peg
Ino shoes under n universal church
government and his plight would be- nc
worse than the office seeker Of similar
independent views.
The scheme would force the spiritual
leaders into politics 10 their own un
doing and to the everlasting loss Of the
lchurch of Christ In the world.
4 churchman has no more business
in politics than any other man thai
is. the right OF every man 70 partici
lpnte e0uallv Is desirable and any de
parture therefrom will end In disaster
A universal church Is always a politi
lcal machine. subject to the corrupt In

ganization Religion and religious eN
lercises would become formality,
Granting all the material benefit
OF christian unity, its disadvantage
condemn IL. Its proponents are hrg'
lly narrow sectarians, paradoNical a
this may seem; they are men who know
lust how the kingdom Is to be gained
men who never tire Of prescribing fo
the other fellow.
The level Of intelligence Is too higl
today to accept the tenents Of an.
church. Men realize that they mus
some day be judged as individuals am
any attempt to mterpose temporal OF

wholesale druggists control the dis
tribution OF Philadelphia's future

purposes. Federal authorities in tax
ing the drastic action against whole
sale liquor dealers say they have cut
deep into the source OF supply and
hope to hold in check the whisky let
out of bond in an effort to keep it in
legitimate channels.
