COUNTY BOYS
Are Enlisting In the Boys Working
Reserve About 100 Enrolling
Cards Have Been Received
From County Schools.

The enrolling cards from the coun-
ty schools are being received daily
which brings the total at present up
to approximately 100. Indications
that practically the entire force of
boys between the ages of sixteen and
twenty will be enrolled before vaca-
tion. In some districts, however, the
impression that military duty is en-
volved in this department has delay
ed the matter somewhat. 1t is to be
hoped that every teacher will see to it
that every boy eligible in their re-
spective district enrolls.
The question has been asked how
will it increase the food production to
have boys already on the farm enroll
as members of the Boys Working Re-
serve. In answer to this question |
would say that any one who has had
any experience with boys in the teen
age realize that awards of honor
stimulate them to greater effort. The
attractive bronze badge and Govern
ment certificate are sufficient renum-
GRAFTON for any boy for period Of
six weeks service on the farm aside
from the salary they will receive
from their employer should they not
be working for their father.
The following members have been
enrolled during past week: Hugh

Robertson, Harold William Edward
Nesbitt, Herbert Red, Omar Stears,

Attempt to Deceive American Fight.
ers Costs Enemy Dearly

CTS NOstS EHchhy DcdIiy
With the American Army in France,
April 15-The German attack against
the American positions on the right
bank of the Meuse, north of st. Mihiel,
yesterday, was made by force of
four hundred picked troops who were
recently brought there, from the Rus
sian front.
Although the Americans were out
numbered more than two to one, they
completely repulsed the enemy, driv-
ing him back to his own trenches.
The enemy casualties include sixty
four dead, many wounded and eleven
prisoners, beside number of wound
ed who were dragged back to the
German lines by their comrades.
The Germans attempted to deceive
the Americans by appearing in front
of the trenches and speaking French
and English, and also by yelling
gas. The deception, however, was
soon discovered and cost the enemy
dearly. The American casualties
were comparatively slight.

THE HOES ARE BUSY

The past few days of warm weather
have caused large number of back
yard gardeners to get down the hoe
and spade and get busy preparing
the ground for bumper crop of gar
den sass. There is not an idle piece
of ground In the Fifth Ward this
year, while reports from the other
wards are equally as gratifying. Let
the good work progress as all that
can be raised in eatables will be
needed and will tend to strike a tell
ing blow at the prevailing high prices.

Stacker to read the daily news now
adays and not make one more sacri-
flee of some kind for the boys in
France and the cause they are fight
ing for.
And just at this time when every
headline drives it home to us that we
are in, truly, nightly, in, there is a
special message to everyone of us
over here in few lines of the ad-
dress of Gen. Bordeaux at the funeral
of the first American soldier to fall
on the French soil:
"These graves, the first to be dug
in our national soil, at but a short
distance from the enemy, are as a
mark of the mighty hand of our allies,
firmly clinging to the common task,
4nfirming the will of the people. and
of the army of the United States to
fight with us to finish; ready to
sacrifice as long as it is necessary,
until final victory for the noblest of
causes-that of liberty of nations, the
weak as well as the mighty"
Ready to sacrifice as long as it is
necessary" the great French Gener-
al said of us, as he could so well say
of his own people. We hope he was
right. We hope that we are going to
live up to these words and to those
men over whose graves the words
were said. We have test before us
right now an opportunity to prove
ourselves.
How much are we willing to sacri-
flee in order to give the service of
money to our government and that
noblest of causes? 1t Is simple sac
rifice at best compared to what those
men and thousands of others are CIV
ing. But at least we can do it well.

With the British Army in France,
April 15-Another attack on the I'M
happy town of Bailleul appeared to
be boiling up today, following upon
the re-capture of Neuve Eglise by the
Germans last night. Hard fighting
was proceeding this morning in the
Bailleul sector, but uD to the filing of
this dispatch e p. n.y. the enemy had
not begun the big onslaught which
was expected.
The loss of Neuve Eglise certainly
made the situation for Bailleul no
brighter, but the Allied position, on
the whole, has been growing better
with the passing of time.
The British were still pivoting on
Wystchaete and last night, when the
pressure at Neuve Eglise became too
great, they swung their line to the
northwest, thereby eliminating the
salient which bulged out around that
place.

THIS REFRIGERATOR
HAS NO USE FOR ICE

j. NJ. Ermerins, a representative of
the American Iceless Refrigerator COM
PAW, arrived here a short time ago
from Los Angeles to demonstrate to
Phoenicians the workings of his COM
panys product, "Airco," refrigerator
that uses no ice.
"Airco'' has been in use for several
years. stated Ermerins, but this is the
first time we have shown it in Arizona,
as the demand has been greater than
our output, until the recent enlargement
of our factory.
"Airco" is an ice box that needs no
ice. in fact. it is cooled entirely by air
and water. and preserves food at as low
temperature as the ordinary refrigera-
tor using ice, and has the added ad
vantage of keeping food absolutely pure.
Every kind of food can be kept at
the same time in the "Airco" refrigera-
tor-onions, buttermilll, meat canta
loupes, etc, without odors and no con-
tamination.
'Airco' is made in sizes for the
household up to large boxes for the
butcher or grocer and" continued En-
merins, Il know of case where, with
