ness with manufacturing concerns
than with farmers. Yet, because Of
the organization of these banks into
clearing house associations, it is into
their vaults that the secretary of the
treasury puts deposits to help move
the crops.
Why not then have organized ef-
forts on the part of the bankers and
farmers OF Orangeburg, Sumter, Flor
ence and the other cotton counties
through joint committees of clearing
houses and Farmers Unions take
these matters directly to the president

we are remiss In our duties to our

legations to the president and secre
tary. IL we, the country bankers and
the farmers, allow the big interests
to gobble up what ought to come to
us. while we think we are too insig-
nificant to go direct to the president

W. E. Barnes Gives an In
teresting Accoun. Of Trip
from Yuma to Ell Paso

w. +. Barnes, travelling freight
and passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific railroad at Tucson, has just
returned to that city from an ex-
tended trip ovor the company's s lines.
Mr.. Barnes, aside from being a
popular and successful traffic man,
is one of the most efficient boosters,
his articles upon various topics of
interest are widely copied. 1t was
mainly through his efforts that
Egyptian cotton is becoming one of
the staple products of Arizona.
Many thousands of acres were
planted to cotton during the past
year
Mr.. Barnes is now working upon
a plan for the exploration and rest
oration of the prehistoric ruins of
the Casa Grande region and has
secured the cooperation of Senators
Smith and Ashurst and Congressman
Hayden to secure an appropriation
from the national government for
the purpose. The project is in.
dorsed by DR.. A H. Wilde. president
of the University of Arizona, and
Mr.. Barn, S advocates the instaIa-
ton of a chairNor school in archae-
ology at the university.
i have just completed long
trip over the line, visiting various
points between Yuma and Ell Paso,
inclusive. 1t is truly wonderful
country. The great southwest is
destined to eclipse in its rapid growth
of population and wealth every 9TH
er section. The development going
on is most extraordinary. At Yuma,
where the completion of the Laguna
dam and giant siphon have made
available the inexhaustabe waters
of the Colorado. the land of the val
ley is being converted into the rich
est farms in the world. Nearly
$4,000 acres is now under cultivation.
1t includes the only frostless citrus
fruit belt in the United States, pro-
ducing abundantly fruit excelling in
delicacy of flavor and beauty of ap-
pearance that grown in any other
section. AT many other points re-
clamation and development is going
on, notably at Case Grande, Tucson,
Wilcox, Bowie and San Simon.

THE HERE AND NOW
The Present Dress of Wom> n
Outshines Any Of the
Recent Past
Let me speak for today.

Let me speak for today.
Let me be pleader for the here
and now.
Today is the best there ever was
so far as the memory of man may
tell.
Prudes may scream and hypocrites
may sneer, Tut today is the acme OF
all the past the hint of what the
future may be.
1t is the triumph of what good
has come through the course of hu.
man events.
&The past is crowded into the, pres
ent
Therefore is the present sacred.
Therefore shall the future prove
divine,
In sons quarters il is fashionable
to condemn the present dress of
women. The present dress far out,
shines any of the recent past, in
elegance, in artistic arrangement,
in modesty, all of which to be seen
needs but comparison with the hid
eous gowns of a decade OF two ago,
when a false or mawkish modesty
deformed the figure of woman.
In ace of the hoops that out
ragged the form of woman, that were
always in the way, that spread and
fiared upon the walks, we have the
narrow skirts, which so long as they
impede not the grace of woman's
stepping, are in every way to be
preferred.
In place of the hustle, that trav-
esty upon nature, we have tastily
.draped gown that hangs in graceful
folds over the hips They said that
the hustle was necessary to conceal
woman's form, which indeed it did.
But, except as a concession to an
ignorant prudishness, why should
that form be concealed?
There is neither modesty nor vir-
tue in the assumption that that
which is natural and ordained for a
noble end should be disguised or
concealed.
In place of the long skirt that
trailed in the filth of the street.
gathering not alone the filth, but
the disease germs of every diseased
passerby, the sanitary short skirt,
in place of the one which was con-
stantly impeding the graceful car
riage of the one who wore it, and
constantly in the way of others, we
see the far neater one, in which
waHan's grace may be, developed.
The faring sleeves Of the past,
thank the god of fashion. have given
way to the more graceful sleeve or
even the absence of the sleeve of
the present.
However prudes may scream,
there will be no return to the silly
fashions of the past. Rather there
will be forward movement in the
in which we now travel.
Let us hope that ere long we may
return to the style of ancient Greece
or Rome, when grace and beauty
were the impelling motives in all
styles of dress, when the human
form was considered as it truly is,
divine, and made so with a divine
object in view.
The most important step to be
taken by those who claim that the
present gowns of women excite the
sexual passions Of men, is the reno
vation of their own moral natures.

HOT WEATHER HITS.

The Northwest Farmstead publishes
the following hints which are especial
ly timely:
Be moderate in thought and action.
Don't worry Eat rather less than
usual. Don't work strenuously right
after breakfast or. dinner: allow at
least a few minutes for rest of mind
and body so that digestion can do it's
perfect work. Bathing hands and feet
is safer and more cooling than the
common method Of dousing face and
head in cold water. Avoid alcoholic
drings. 1t the night Is warm, take a
bath, If only a rub down with a wet
rag, don't wipe off the water, but let
it e~vaporate as you lie down, and thus
carry off the body heat. These little
hints will do much to add to the COM
fort, health and efficiency of young or
old during the hot period.
