COTTON GROWERS.

1t is understood that Il number Of
the Mesa farmers are preparing to
plant cotton the coming spring. Some
o. them talk of ten, twenty. forty.
and even 100 acres. There has been
some question as to whether or not
a gin could be secured for this sec
ton. \ gentleman. well posted, says
there is no question Of securing 4
gin. if the acreage is planted. The
manufacturers are always willing,
even anxious, TO put in gins. on terms
To- suit the growers. That is a mere
detail If the cotton is produced, 1t
will be taken care Of. II is probable
now that a cotton growers assDcia-
ton will be formed within the near
future. and that organization will be
able To secure all that il wants in
the way Of seed and machinery.

THE FIRST PRESIDENT.

Dear Junior:
Our first president of the United
States who was George washington,
was born Feb. %. 1892, and died 81
Mt. Vernon, Dec. IA, 1899. He was 81
years old when he died.
, Once George had q Ratchet which ne
thought was very nice. One gay ne
thought he would go out doors and try
his new hatchet. Every little piece OF
wood he saw he would chop 1t into
chips. He went to his fathers orchard
and played woodsman. A cat was un'
der the rosebush and he played 1t was
a fierce animal.
He chopped down his fathers cherry
tree. The chips flew thick and fast.
When his father came in from work
he went to see about the tree he
went to the house to see who cut
down the tree. He asked George II
he knew who cut down his cherry tree.
George said, Il cannot tell lie, | ala
it father" He always told the truth.
Washington took his place as presi'
dent April 30, 1889. He served two
terms. The people wanted him to serve
one more term but the brave man
thought he had better not.
He wrote his Farewell address to
the. American People," in 1896.
Washington took command OF the
American army on July 3, 1775. The
place where he took command is still
dear to all in, this land.
Wishing much success to the Jun

Once upon time a. potato and an
apple lay in the cellar. The apple
was bright, rosy and red, while the
potato was brown and ugly and was
half asleep.
"You are no good any more You
are ugly and have SO many eyes" said
the apple to the potao.
~ don not care" said the potato.
You will never grow again"
Just then Farmer Grey came into
the cellar and they quit their talking
In the spring the potato was planted
and was about three or four inches
high. The farmer came into the eel
lar and throwed all the rubbish out
and the apple was among the rubbish.
It was tossed out into the field near
the potato. It was now wrinkled and
all brown and decayed while the po-
tato was nice and green. The potato
looked at it and began ito talk to 1t
but the apple was too ashamed to talk

dried up and that was the end OF the

THE APPLE AND WASHINGTON.

When George Washington was q
bow he always tried to do right He
wished to grow up to be good; great
man.
One day some one gave him very
large red apple. 1t was fair and beau
tiful to look at.
George Washington knew that he
might be generous with the apple and
gave some of it to his little friend.
But he did not wish to share it with
any one. He wished to keep the apple
for himself.
So he held the apple tighter in both
hands, and said, "No, I will not give
away any part Of this"
His father was q good man and took
George by the hand and led him out
into a large orchard where they saw
the trees loaded with apples.
Above their, heads on the trees hung
large yellow apples. Look at all
these apples" said the father.
J"see how generous God is, in CIV
ing apples to us all. He gives to us
so freely and so largely"
Then George Washington hung his
head He hardly knew what to say.
He felt sorry that he had been SO
greedy. :,
20 father" said he, II will never
be 40 greedy again in all my life. am
sorry was not generous" So George
Washington gave away some OF the
beautiful apple that he had. He never
forgot what his father had said.
