LA BARATA STORE
WINS PRIZE FOR
BEST WINDOW

The prize for the best decorated
ore winoow tor the big Fourth of
July celeCrat n, was awarded yes
erday morning to La Barata store,
~ the commttee consisting of j.
\. Legarra, frank J.. Barry and Geo.
Fl; Fielder.
After looking over the various
,indows in the city. the judges Sc
'tcted the TIN ee best ones between
s'hich to cho. Sc which were La
Earata, whic,, was finally awarded
'irst prize, La Reforma, which ran a
rlose second, and which the general
public seemed to think had the best
patriotic window display, and The
MODERN, which also showed the work
f a real window artist.
The thing which made La Barata
tore and La Reforma store stand
out prominently above all others
vas the fact tnat both of these dis
lays were strictly patriotic. Not
ingle articles in either of these
'"iEdows was there for the purpose
# making sales, but rather for dis
'nlaying Amer.canism. Where other
stores displaced cut priced goods
NTH price tags, these stores con-
''idered that on the Fourth of July
window display other things came
'head of sor nd gain and devoted
neir best efforts to a real patriotic
isplay.
Both of these displays were very
similar in design, containing foun-
t;'ins, and war paraphanalia together
With Liberty prominently displayed.
| a Reforma Htore display was real
~ instructive, containing as it did,
risplayi of various types of guns,
from the mod, rn Spring of the
American soldier to Bolshevikl
hfle brought rom Siberia by Mr..
Earam, who was in the Siberian con-
ingent of the American forces. The
GODDESS Of Liberty displayed in this
window, was also preemineIty sup
clior to the others.
r1a
The prize was finally awarded to
"a Barata on account of the fact that
their windows were decorated on the
;utside with lunting as well as tho
Interior decorations.

Manz0 Acted With
Complete Authority

A number of conflicting rumors
were in circulation about town yes
erday and Monday concerning the
aiding of the gambling JOINT in No
gales, Sonora, by General Manzo.
,ne had 1t, that the raid was the re-
ult of difference of opinion be-
ween The general and Governor F.
a. Borquez. Another was that the
:'der to raid and close the place came
directly from Mexico City, while
Erlll another 1umor credited General
ubregon with being the cause of it.
The real TACT of the matter
outlined by Governor Bor-
quez, iii telegram to one
of his agents in Nogales, is that
Genera Manz) was instructed by
rim at the tine he gave the con-
cession to watch it closely and see
- it that the men having the pri-
.ilege should obey the laws and con-
nitions Of their concession.
The raracit of the tin horn gamb-
ers was such that they were not
satisfied with a good thing, such as
ne terms of their concession cav
'nem; but went after it to get every
'eft possible, and so spoiled their
hances, as is usually the case with
lat class
The Mexican authorities did not
'reak faith With the concessionares
at all, but wlren fully assured that
ne regulations were being fragrant
violated ci5sed them up; and in
'oing so General Manzo acted ac-
tordine to the orders of Governor
borquez, who gave the concession.
General Manzo states that at the
time he made the raid, there were
at least a dozen women in the place
most Of them intoxicated, and that
more thar a hundred Mexican citi-
IONS we're bucking the various games
n direct violation of the terms of
he concession.
