Mrs. Martha H. Ament and Mrs.
=. \. t"y Won the l.000-pound ice
book which was offered as first prize
10 the one guessing the nearest TO
how long 3OO-pound cake of ice,
made by the People lee and Produce
Company would last in the bright
New Mexico sunshine, or how much
of II would be left at the end of ten
hours exposure. When the time was
up there was still seventy pounds
mocking the declining sun last Tues
day afternoon in front of the cham
her of commerce. \ large crowd
was present to see the end Of the
contest. and many expressed surprise
that Ice could be made 80 substantial
from the pure and raw Mimbres Val
ley water. The ice was perfectly
solid and wiihstood the sun and wind
with remarkable durability.
The first prize was divided. because
Mrs. Ament guessed scventy-6ve
pounds remaining aud Mrs. Cox
guessed siXty-iiye pound, remaining.
The third prize of 800 O-pound ice
book went to Andrew Robertson who
guessed that sixty eight pounds
would remain. A special prize of n
2iO-pound ice book went 10 Louis
Mills who guessed The exact amount
which remained when the ice was
weighed. Exactly 1914 contestants
entered the competition.
Manager Brown of the ice compa-
ny, was gratiiicd at the outcome of
the test, because it proves that cheap
and good lee can be- made from the
water right from the well and with
out any disiillation or treatment.

PLANS BEING MADE TO PROPERLY
CELEBRATE THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Troops Of U. s. Cavalry, Cowboys,
National Guard, School Children,
and Others, Take Part in Biggest
Event Of Kind In History Of City.

Dcming proposes to celebrate the
Fourth Of July IN the good old fash
lou'd way. There will BE- soldiers,
possibly several troops of the border
guards, military band, cowboy eyhibi-
ton. field and track sports, and pos
-ihly fireworks. The occasion will
briug many visitors Ia the city. who
IAill hrcomr better acquainted with
the citizens aud form valuable trade
connections. II is thought that the
business interests of the city will be
clad 10 exhibit floats in pageant III
which the school children will take
4 part.
The success of the Memorial Day
EXERCISES has led Edward Pennington
/ and y. 4. Bolich to undertake the
promotion of u Fourth of July cele-
bralion which will he y credit to the
city. The great national holidays
certainly should be observed in an
appropriate manner, and number
If good Deming citizens are putting
| forth every effort to that end. So
| fer they have received great cnconr-
ngcmcui.
/ II j. proposed to raise not less than
$500 Ia defray the expenses of the
celebration, and to make il well worth
while for visitors to come for the
daN. The Grade School grounds,
with il block of shade trees and
Other conveniences for picnicing, is
au ideal spot for the gathering. AN
appropriation for purse for horse
racing would bring u large number
of horscmen into the city.
The cowboys have always been
willing to put on pleasing show OF
western sports. roping, broncho bust
ing, racing. etc. The same can well
be- said of the Thirteenth L. s. Cav
airy. the members of which organiza-
tinn have now been on the border fol
two wears and have many friends IN
this section. The men of the Thlr-
ircnth are among the best riders IN
the army and their Roman riding
jumping. and military evolutions have
proved of very great interest. The
track and field sports would be oper
To ALL Prizes for the winners o'
all the events would add to the con
tests. The fireworks in the evenin.
would give n touch Of the old-time
noisy patriotism which has fallen in
To- desuetude through the efforts o
the sane" Fourth nropocandists.
