PROFITS SATISFACTORY
 ID COTTON GROWERS
Eighty Dollars, Net, Per Acre, for the First Years Crop Is Thought
 To Be Good Record

The cotton growers of Texas and other sections of the southern cotton belt would think they were on the high road to sudden wealth were it possible for them to make a net pro- fit of fifty dollars or more per acre from the seasons product In fact fifty dollars per acre is not to be dispised in any part of the country. That many of the cotton growers of the Mesa section have done better than that during the present season is now a certainty, and when it is understood that the business is new to this part of the country and that a number of the growers had scarcely ever seen cotton growing and had everything to learn, the success made by them is little short of miracu- lous. Figures are not available ill every case, and it is fact that some of the growers had bad luck. One gentleman planted quite large

COLONY COMING.

A. H. Parker, who went to Illinois to promote a mining proposition but appears to be doing good mission ary work in the interests of the Mesa section generally, writes to the Mesa Commercial club for more lit erature to distribute among the peo- pie of that state. He says that there will be a colony of twenty five to thirty land seekers accompanying him on his return journey to Ari- zona. The literature has been for warded by the club secretary and the Wilbur Realty company has sent MT. Parker a box of fruit, samples of grain, etc, and hence he will be equipped to answer all questions and show the goods to all inquirers. MT. Parker says he may return the lat ter part of January or the first of February-it will all depend upon cir cumStanceS.

HIGH SCHOOL EXERCISES.

The closing exercises of the Tempe union hign school in anticipation of the Christmas holidays took pIace Fri day evening in the school assembly room contrary to the first thought that it would be held in the afternoon. This change was made on account of the grammar school exercises in the af- ternoon and apparently turned out much more successful than would like ly have been the case had the program been rendered to conflict with others. A good attendance of parents and friends of the students of the school greeted the participants in the pro gram Friday evening. The program:

tract to cotton, expecting to have his well completed and pump in stalled in time to irrigate the crop. He failed to get the water and lost the money invested. But this was without the the Irrigated area. J. D. Attaway lost practically twelve of the twenty-five acres he had seeded to Egyptian cotton, but even then the remainder of the crop placed him above loss, and next year he will be one of the largest growers of the Mesa section.
 One gentleman, who had in but three acres, has sent in the result of his experiment as follows: Yield 2553 pounds. sold at 21c per pound, $53613; Expense. preparing land, $2150, seeding, $1.50, thinning, $6OO, cultivation, $35, irrigating, $500, pick ing. SITS, ginning, $40 Total, s2S7; leaving a net profit of over $S00O per acre. Another gentleman from five aces sold for $S10.75 and his expense, including all hired labor, was $368.75, leaving net profit of $40, or $8S per acre. In both of the above cases, only the lint cotton was sold. The seed, which is also val uable. is yet to be reckOned with. Next season there will be at least 2OOO acres planted to Egyptian cot ton in the Mesa section alone.

The Tempe postoffice will inaugu- rate beginning January 1, 1913 free delivery of mail within the city limits, authorization for the increase in post office facilities here having been re- ceived from First Assistant Postmaster General C.

 Only one letter carrier has been ap- pointed as yet, Roy C. Todd, who has been transferred from Grain Valley, Missouri. and who will arrive in Tempe during the next few days. The deliv- cry limits will be practically the same as the city limits, and there will be two deliveries per day. Coincident witt

 In order to comply with the instruc- tions and regulations of the post office department the town must have the houses numbered. As soon as it was found this was necessary, the city council set about getting the houses in the town numbered. and the street signs erected. This is being done rap idly and will be finished by the time the new system is installed. Post of flee Inspector C. F. Dutton and Post master Mullen arranged the new route about six weeks ago and the same has been approved by the department.
