Several months ago the light

many, without any. notice being
given to the consumers until the
popular bill collector came around
for the money at the end of the
month. Some of the users of
the juice told him to hell with
the Kaiser while others pungled
up the coin as usual. Complaints
were made to the town mayor
about both the rates and the
service of the company and he
in turn has asked the Commits

Some of the people claim that
while the rates are unreasonably

BACK FROM OVERSEAS
WITH FINE WAR RECORD
Merton Tiliey. Deming BOY. After
Service in the English Navy,
Returns Home

With good war record behind
him, some very thrilling experiences
in his life log, and lasting token Of
Heine's mustard gas in the shape Of
n pair Of weakened eyes, Merton TIL
ley, son Of the late f. J. Tilley. who
died here in 1915, is back from the
war. He arrived in Deming last Fri
day, and will make this his home.
after four years absence. which time
was spent in Canada until he enlisted
in the royal navy late in 1916. He
emerged from the service as leading
signalman on the battleship Wal
LARGO.
Young Tilley was on convoy serv-
ice out of Halifax for some time, and
also saw submarine service out Of the
same point. Later he was transferred
TO the North Sea squadron, and also
took part in the dangerous work Of
mine sweeping along the English
coast. While in this work the trawier
on which he was billeted was blown
up by mine. and Of 90 men on board
Merton was one of three that escaped.
They owed their lives to the fact that
all three were on the bridge at the
time and so were not in the water till
the suction caused by the sinking Of
the trawler was much weaker. They
were picked up by torpedo boat
after clinging to wreckage for two
hours.
In 1917 young Tilley volunteered
with the End naval brigade land serv-
ice in France, and took part in the
battles of Messines Ridge and Hill
10. IL was at Messines Ridge that he
got touch Of mustard gas. and since
then has been compelled to wear
spectacles. He was in hospital
three weeks after tasting the gas.
Young Tilley entered the royal
service at Edmonton, Alberta, where
brother. Hylton. makes his home
Hylton is in the railway service with
the Grand Trunk Pacific.

experienced players from the pass

kets. The score was a. to 2,
The boys game was more or less
duplication Of the girls. the fast
passing and accurate shooting of the
Tigers proving altogether too much
for ID. II. S. At times the home boys
woke up and gave some neat exhibit
tions of floor work, but close guard
ing kept them away from the basket
and their chronic weakness at shoot
ing made their small score a fore
gone conclusion. They fought gamely
through to the end, but the only
question from the outset was how low
they would be able to hold the score.
After Ponsford went out early in the
second half they played nearly even
with the visitors on floor work, but
still could not hit the basket.
Ehrman, guard, went up and scored
long shot in the first half for DEM
ing's only points in the first half.
which ended 20 to 2. In the second
half Clark scored basket and three
free throws.
Ponsford got six baskets, Williams
five and Booth five. Williams was
hurt late in the second half and gave
way to Springer, who was in long
enough to shoot one goal.
The crowds both nights were the
largest that ever attended an indoor
athletic event in Deming. Soldiers
were admitted free at the request Of
the War Camp Community Service.
under whose auspices all the game
at the armory have beer played, but
civilians paid an admission charge.
The expense Of staging the two
games ran well over a hundred dol
lars, but the receipts covered il
