Throw Down Gauntlet

LIVERPOOL, England, June 30.-The
White Star line threw down the gage of
open defiance to the shipping strikers
today by declaring a lockout of all en-
ployes save officers and engineers. This
was the most drastic move made by an
affected steamship company. The COM
pany Immediately took steps to engage
strike breakers.
Two thousand of the dock workers
who revolted against their leaders yes
terday afternoon, refused to return to
work today on order to do so.
The ship owners federation made
strong play for public sentiment today
when it threatened to tie up half of the
freight tonnage of England unless the
strike is settled. In their statement
they declared they could not work their
ships nor handle freight in the ware
houses and docks.

Dill ON BOULEVARD
lAUSE Of PROTEST
/ BY AUTOMOB|LITS
dore Than Two Inches Deep
in Places on Balti-
- more Route.
By HARRY WARD.

Motorists of this city are making loud
complaints about the heavy oil on the
Washington Baltimore boulevard An
automobile sprinkler is being used to
spread the oil on the road and in many
places it is more than two inches deep,
making il almost impossible to use the
road. owing TO the tendency of the au-
q tomobile wheels TO skid"
- The ocean-to-ocean tourists who came
} over this road Wednesday found the
conditions particularly trying and their
arrival in Washington was delayed more
than two hours because the drivers
found it difficult TO get traction. Their
machines were plastered with the thick,
black oil and some of the occupants of
the cars had their garments spattered
with Oil. While the Oil improves the
road after II sinks in," said a we'll
known driver, 1T would appear to me
that the road authorities might sprinkle
"a little sand on the highway after it is
soiled. II this We're done it would i'm
prove matters greatly
u Another cause OF complaint is the
blocking Of the crossing at Hyattsville
by freight /. aims. A dozen or more ma
chimes were held I'D at this crossing
d
Ilong freight train was being switched
iback and forth. 1t is understood the
Itown council of Hyattsville will take
some action in the matter.
p The influence of the automobile was
seen pretty clearly at the boat races at
fPoughkeepsie on Tuesday. The crowd
Yin town preceding the race vas small
but along about noon the sceue changed
materially. Hundreds of cars began to
arrive about that hour, each containing
about five persons
. A great many persons who had tickets
for the observation trains motored up
from New York or down from some OF
the up-river towns, took the ferry
across to Highland-if they happened to
come on the east Shore-and immedi-
ately the race was over ran out of
town. So it was that there was prob
ably as large a crowd as ever has seen
the boat races, and yet it's assembling
was done so silently that it did not give
sthe impression of being as large as
some others who have seen the races at
Poughkeepsie.

Better Than Private Advertising.
Community advertising has many ad-
vantages over the ordinary advertise
ing put out by land companies, real
estate dealers and promoters. The fact
that 1T is cooperative makes it less
expensive. In the simple matter of
publishing booklets, a commercial
CLUB or chamber or commerce can af-
ford tc take booklets in larger guam
titles than individual concerns, and
hence gets out usually much more
elegant advertising matter for less
money. Besides this the average pros
pector will give greater credence to
the statement issued with the author
ity Of an. entire community than they
give to the statements of land COM
panies or others interested in making
a SALE
Besides this, a cooperative effort for
the advancement of any town gives 1t
a sense of unity harmonizes factions
and tends to keep down petty bicker-
ings and jealousies. Each member of
the organization feels that he is do
ing his share towards the betterment
of the community, and consequently de-
yelops a civic pride The Deming
chamber of commerce has in this par
ticular done excellent work. 1t has
come to the point where the "knocker"
is far, far in the background. OPP
portunity knocks here; no one else"
The typical Demingite seeks first to
convince the homeseeker and investor
that the west is the best section of
tn country; second, that New Mexico
is the best part of the west; third
that Deming and the Mimbres valley
offer the choicest field for location of
any part of New Mexico. He not only
talks this, but he believes it, Slowly
and surely, has this truth been brought
home to the individual consciousness

DEFINING AND NIINIBRES VALLEY


Deming, n. NJ, Aug. 30.-There is
considerable talk among farmers and
truck growers of the Mimbres valley
concerning the organization of a farm
ers' and truck growers association, for
the purpose Of marketing the produce
grown. OF course, 1t is too late in the
season 10 handle any of this years
crop, but many feel that the time is
now ripe to form such an organization
looking to the marketing of next years
produce.
There is apparently no lack of a
market here for such staples as alfalfa,
beans, onions and potatoes, but there
is lack of a market for melons, can
taloupes, string beans and all manner
of small, perishable truck. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that Mimbres valley
truck is of a quality unsurpassed, and
the only difficulty in marketing it is
a lack of cooperation on the part of the
growers.
Present Conditions.
Here is a farmer with an acre of fine
Tom Watson melons. uniform in size,
perfect color, crisp. meaty, sweet and
Juicy, but when he attempts to market
them, he finds the local market sup
piled and the foreign markets have
contracted for their supply months
ahead and every day receiving an in
ferior article to that which he can sup
ply His neighbor has a half acre, and
scattered around over the valley are
