The United States has an experiment. farm on the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
 ults even more marvellous than in the valley are produced Down on the lower levels there are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally during December and January, but on the mesa the breath of frost never touches the most del icate yegetatioa. Oranges grown at the Feder- all experiment station arc unsurpassed in their delicious Qlality.
 Yuma is busy, up-to-date town The more modern improvements consist of several blocks of attractive brick buildings. threestory post office building, also of brick and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made are a ss5. 900 school building, s75OOO ice plant, Q fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a larger passeuger depot and the probability Of a new court house to cost s75,Ooo. There Is con- siderable business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili ties Of the place. They should at once erect an up-to-date tourist hotel It should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere were only transportable like mineral waters, and one could send consignments of this Yuma winter air to the East the inspiration of it's health-giving qualities would bring 2oCoV tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo rado River.
 Yuma needs only to make known its climatic attractions in the parts Of the East swept every year by blizzardS and snowStormS to attract q city full every winter he fertility or the val lev below will almost make itself known with out effort on the part of the people. But with 2 valley full of intelligent and industrious rural population, producing fruits and vegetables poultry eggs fresh milk and fragrant butter, yuma should be one of the most delightful winter resorts in all America. There IS every thipg there to furnish tourists with the most healthfnl and deciciouS food and if the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek a living elsewhere. it will be because the people do not know how to live properly.
 The Laguna Dam will be completed Tn l9Oy and in ten years from today the attractions oi Yuma as health resort and the fertility o1 these bottom lands will be so well known that it will require sl,0O0 in cash to buy single acre of it.

Listen how the above quotation
from Golfers Weekly" sneeringly
winds up Perhaps it is time to
put justice and truth above honor
whatever that may be. NO wonder
that a journal which inquiries what
honor" means, dared to publish
such a dastardly article; as from the
query in regard to what honor"
means, which that sheet seems not to
know, perhaps it is, in way, pardon
able for publishing this dishonorable
TRADE against "Southern Woman

We have known for many years
that the Roman Catholic Church was
reaching out for the negro, in order
to make him part of their super
stitious institution, and thereby con-
troll both his pocketbook and his vote;
but we did not, nor do not yet know,
just what machinery it is using to
bring this about. But we are now

ley interests Of their State and sec

prices with a boycott of tobacco. The
history of the movement is given sub
stantially as follows by Mr.. Hunt,
who is a native of Kentucky, mem
Der of the league, and one prominent
in and thoroughly familiar with the
history Of the movement from its in
cipiency.
According to Mr.. Hunt, for several
years prior to 1906 the American To
bacco Company had held the price of
hurley leaf tobacco in the West down
to figures ranging from 5 to 7 cents
a pound, or an average of not more
than 6 cents. To accomplish this OBJ
ject the trust had cut out all compe-
tition on the open market. It had
next appointed agents to traverse the
hurley belt and purchase crops from
the planters while the tobacco still
hung in the barns.
The control of the hurley belt was

Bprley Tobacco Society
Interesting QccODnf of the Rise and Progress of This
Important OTqanizahOn

g. j. Hunt, of Winchester, Clarke
county, KY, member of the Burley
Tobacco Society of Kentucky, which
is branch Of the American Society
Of Equity, is in Richmond
Mr.. Hunt, when seen by a reporter
for this paper, was greatly elated over
the recent signal victory achieved by
the hurley tobacco growers of the
West over the American Tobacco Com
pany, which resulted in nearly 100,-
100000 pounds of hurley being bought
in by the tobacco trust at substantial
figures from planters who had pooled
their product for two years, 1906 and
1907, and who had refused to plant
tobacco during 1908.
The history of the formation and
operation of the Burley Tobacco So
ciety as recounted by Mr. Hunt was
not more instructive than interesting.
The society consists Of "a federation of
planters and sympathizers banded to-
gether for the protection of the bur-

insinuations, or else debar that jour

Tt is well known that many iden-
tifications are sheer hysteria, often for
crimes that were never committed,
and many other charges and identif-

worse than hysterical invention, they

by this statement, does "Collier's

women as cohabiting with black
brutes, and for fear of being betrayed
by the brute, will then raise the cry
of Rape? You say, Mr.. Golfers

SOUTHERN WoMANHooD.

While the editor of this journal was
born and raised in the North, and
married Northern woman, and all of
his and his wife s relatives are North
ern born, and are still residents Of
that section, yet he has had an album
dant opportunity to know something
Of "Southern Womanhood, as we
have visited many, many sections Of
the South, and have been entertained
by the rich and the poor, the educated
and the uneducated; in fact, there is
no phase of "Southern Womanhood"
but what we believe we are acquaint-
ed with, and "Southern Womanhood"
is as true to the ring Of pure daugh-
tiers and pure mothers and wives as
anywhere man may go, I care not
whether he travels north, south, east
or west.
While the North can boast of more
wealth, and while she can boast that
Northern Womanhood is equal to the
womanhood Of any section on earth,
she can not boast of purer woman
hood than "Dixie's Land"; and no
individual Of the North but a de-
PRAYED craven would be guilty of such
a crime; however, we are sorry to say
that such cravens with their carrion
beaks dipped deep into the putridness
of fostering swill, have seen fit to
charge against "Southern Woman
hood" a crime that would make even
the gaudy dressed harlot Of the street
shudder with shame.
From the columns Of "The Chris
tian Advocate, published at Dallas,
Texas, we quote below what this
Christian Advocate" clipped from
the columns of Golfers Weekly"
published in New York City; and this
Christian Advocate, ;" in our estima-
ton, but feebly condemned this dia-
bolical fling at "Southern Woman
hood"; the clipping follows:
lit is well known that many iden-
tifcations are sheer hysteria, often
for crimes that were never commit
ted, and many other charges and iden-
tifcations are founded on something
worse than hysterical invention; f;hey
are the easiest escape from sea; dial.
Now these are not the things to say,
no doubt. They altogether lack chiv-
airy and the aristocratic virtues, but
perhaps it is time to put justice and
truth above honor whatever that
may be.
The above clipping from Golfers
Weekly" which goes into thousands
Of Southern homes each ,v.eek, is a
part of an editorial in that journal
relative to the deeds of the black rape
fends Of the South, and this bastard
ly vomit from the NAV of Golfers
Weekly" is enough to cause every
decent man and woman in the South,
which it so villainously, wantonly and
ignorantly bellies, to rise up as one

rendered the more easy by reason of
the fact that it is comprised within
forty-two counties. Of these thirty
SIX lie in Kentucky, four in Ohio, and
two In Indiana. It is said by Mr..
Hunt that matters had come to such
a pass just prior to 1906 that when
an agent for the trust approached a
tobacco grower and inspected his
crop, he would offer him "a price. IF
this price was refused as too small
and as not covering the expenses of
growing the tobacco, the planter was
asked, "Well, what will you do about
ltF If you turn me down, who will
purchase your holdings7"
1t was further said by Mr.. Hunt
that such agent would at once tele-
graph to the city agents Of the trust,
telling them what had been offered
for such and such a crop, and direct
ing them not to overbid this offer.
From such tactics the planter had no
redress.
In order to combat such conditions
the Burley Tobacco Society was
formed. This society was a confed-
Grafton of planters. In 1906 it began
active operations by pooling the bur-
ley crop with the design of holding
the entire output in large warehouses.
1t was successful in cornering about
10000, 900 pounds. In the next year,
1907, it pursued similar tactics and
this year gathered in about 9O,0O0,-
600. During these years the trust
made no offers of purchase and the
large bulk of the two years crops
was carefully boarded by the Burley
Society.
Changed It's Tactics.
In the year 1908 the society pur-
sued different tactics. It decided to
discontinue the growing of the crop
altogether. In certain sections such
crops as were planted were destroyed
by bands Of men. Such depredators
became quickly known as night riders.
The operations of such organizations,
however, are said to have been greatly
exaggerated, and most acts of van
dalism are now attributed to the con-
duct of militia sent by the State
for the suppression of such alleged
actions on the part of suspected
planters.
In 1908 an agreement was entered
into by about ninety per cent of the
planters to entirely abandon the grow
ing of hurley tobacco. By this time
the supply of the American Tobacco
Co. was nearly exhausted. In the
meantime considerable suffering and
deprivation had been undergone by
the poorer growers of hurley tobacco,
so that the Burley Tobacco Society
was forced to distribute as much as
100000 to tide the suffering planters
over the dreadful crisis and prevent

THE TOGGERY HAS DONATED PER CENT OF CASH
 PURCHASES
Rev. A. L. HawIey Will Lead the List of Clerks.

The Toggery has fndugurated a new idea in the line of merchandising p Mesa. IL is to donate ten per cent Of all cash sales to some christian or benevolent organization in the city. This is plan that has been followed through out the east. but has been introduced in this section only re- gently and never before in Mesa.
 The primary reason, and possibly the only reason for the conducting of such sales on the part of the man. agers and proprietors is for the pur- pose of making acquaintances and getting people in the habit of going to the particular store giving the sale. The ad of the Toggery in to- days issue will state the list of clerks, all of them prominent metho- dist workers. It will not mean that these people will actually sell the goods, that is they will not unless they actually want to, but they will be present and will invite their friends 10 be present and they will see that everything is conducted along strict Methodist lines. that is every thing but a collection, and it has been announced that the hat will not be passed on this occasion.

It is a story of every day life and is one of those productions which must be seen to be really appreciated. It is a play that has been on the boards a number of years, but has never been produced in Mesa, or at least there is no record to that effect. IL is said to be the first time that it has ever been produced in the west and so far it has had an exceptional run.
