Install New Iceless Refrigerator

Scogin q Mckinney have installed
one of the large iceless refrigerators
made by the Arctic lceless Refriger-
atinr Company, and are very cnthu-
siastic in their praise. There is no
doubt of lis superior keeping quail
ties for all kinds of vegetables, fruit,
milk and butter in the same compart-
ment without the least taint in any
of the articles from the other. Up
on the receipt of II supply Of iron the
local manufacturers will begin turn
ing out refrigerators for the local
trade. Outside of the first cost the
upkeep will be 50 little that the saw
ing ON the ice bill for the first year
will nearly pay the first cost.
Scogin 4 Mckinney will be glad to
demonstrate its practicability to any
one calling AT the store.

BARNES Of S. P. ASSISTING N
Effort TO BRING LIBERTY BELL
Last States TO Join Union Have a
Strong Claim to Play Host to Bell
that PeaIed Forth at Birth of First
Thirteen Constituting This Nation.

Mr.. Barnes, travelling freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific Company, never misses an OPP
portunity to give Deming and the
Mimbres Valley boost. Mr.. Barnes,
acting on the initiation of Editor
Nallandigham, has taken up vigor-
ously the question of routing the
Liberty Bell to the Panama Pacific
exposition at San Francisco. He has
enlisted the active cooperation of
Governor George w. p. Hunt of Ari-
zona, United States Senator Henry
+. Ashhurst, the various commercial
organizations and public men who
have bombarded the Select Council
of Philadelphia with telegrams urg-
ing that the bell be routed via DEM
ing.
Mister Barnes says that "thc
Southwest has strong claims upon
the generosity of the custodians Of
the bell than any other section of the
country. The people Of the South
west are intensely patriotic, this has
been strikingly demonstrated upon
many occasions, and when the peo-
pie of Deming and the Southwest ask
to have the ancient relic sent among
them, they are moved by spirit of
intense patriotism which should not
be denied. ! believe that the Phila-
delphia Council will heed so praise
worthy petition and route the bell
through the last two states to be add
ed to the union of states. New Mex
leo and Arizona, stars of the first
old bell would acquire
new luster by reflection of their
light"

STILL HOLDS FIRMLY
ALLIES PRESS 0ARDAMeLLEs
Fleet Again Enters Dangerous Pass
age to Support Forces Making
Determined Land Assaults.

Capture of nearly half II mile OF
German trenches near st. Mihiel, tn,
southern extremity of the German
wedge, which the French have beer
attempting for several weeks to fore.
back, is announced in the 0ffcial
communication from Paris. Spirited
fighting in Belgium also is reported
and the admission is made that the
Germans compelled the allies to retire
from positions near Ypres.
Two men were killed by the blow
ing up Of British trawler in the
North sea by German submarine.
An attack by the Russian Black
sea fleet on the Turkish coast near
the Russian border is said in Petro-
grad to have resulted in the demor-
alization Of Turkish forces encamped
in thar locality. Considerable dam
age was done to the Turkish barracks
and number of Turkish vessels la
den with supplies and ammunition
were sunk.
The opinion was expressed by a
prominent Italian statesman that
ltaly's participation in the war at
present was unlikely. Austria would
use every effort, he said. to avoid
giving Italy reasonable grounds for
war, and would seek to place Italy in
the position Of the aggressor should
that nation decide to take up arms.
The assault on the Dardanelles has
been renewed, although it is not ap-
parent whether the allied forces are
ready to begin the general attack.
Four British warships entered the
straits Thursday and bombarded the
Turkish forts. which were subjected
also to indirect fire across the penin-
sula from the gulf of Saros. The re-
suit Of this fighting has not been dis.
closed.
Bombardment of the Turkish forts
at Smyrna, Asia Minor. also is be-
lieved to have been resumed. There
is nothing to Indicate. however, that
any move has been made toward an
attack by the forces landed from the
guli Of Saros, such as is expected to
accompany the next effort on large
scale within the Dardanelles.
