COTTON SEED
 ITS SELECTION
Bulletin Issued by Bureau of Plant Industry Rela- tive to Egyptian Cotton Will Be of Interest to Farmers of This Valley.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 6.-While questions of picking, ginning, and marketing are doubtless uppermost in the minds of most growers of Egyptian cotton in the Salt River valley, they should not lose sight of the fact that the industry can not be permanently profitable unless a supply of pure seed is maintained, states departmental bull letin No. 38 contributed by the bureau of plant industry, on Seed Selection of Egyptian Cotton"
 Unless due precautions are taken to prevent crossing, the varieties soon be- come mixed and deterioration is rapid
 Moreover. the most carefully selected stock, even when completely isolated from other cotton, produces occasional off type" plants which are inferior to the average in productiveness and in quality of the lint. Such plants, unless removed, will soon cOntaminate the entire stock and rapid deterioration will follow Measures to prevent this are indispensable if the industry is to be maintained.
 Uniform land. proper irrigation, and good ginning all contribute to make the product uniform, but these are of lit tie avail if the seed is allowed to run out or to become mixed
 In addition to removing inferior l plants from his fields, every cotton grower should seek to improve his seed 1 by the selection of the best plants He l should go over the field when the bolls | begin to open and mark those plants which are most fruitful and have the | largest bOlls and the largest. strongest and most abundant fiber. The seed cotton from these plants should be gathered before each general picking and ginned with every precaution to prevent mixture. The seed thus ob- tained should be planted in a special plat for increase. and in this way d large supply of extra good seed will be available for general fieldp lanting the second Year after the selections are made. By systematically following this method of bulk selection the grower can greatly improve both the quantity and the quality of his product

THE SECOND COMING
 SUBJECT OF ADDRESS
Rev. A. s. Booth of Seventh Day
 Adventists at Gospel Hall.

The Gospel hall, 238 East Washing ton street, was crowded last night to hear the study on The Second Com ing of the Lord,'' presented by Pastor A. S Booth. The address was illus trated by beautifully colOred pictures thrown on the screen.
 The speaker said, in part: The second coming of Christ is an event long looked for by the church. It has been practically the hope of the church for ages.
 "Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of this, saying Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints It was the hope and encouragement of Job over thirty five hundred years ago. Said Job, For I know that my redeemer liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth David also con sOled himself as he looked forward to that time and said, Our God shall come and shall not keep silence He shall call to the heaven from above and to the earth, that he may judge his people. Gather my saints together unto me, those that have made a covenant with me by sacri- flee
 Jesus, when in his first advent gave prOfnlSe dIJer promise ol All9 return. The apostles who were thor oughly instructed relative to the Masters plans. had much to say relative to the matter. In the New Testament one verse out of every twenty five speaks of that event. In these many places there is much said relative to the signs that would inn mediately precede His coming. And the most all of these signs are seen about us, perhaps the most apparent is the attitude of the people For, said the Master, As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ark and knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

MORRIL FINDS ANOTHER
 INJURIOUS TREE BUG
Report of Cicada Injurious to Fruit
 Trees.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, Tucson, Dec 6.-The fol- lowing information concerning injured fruit tree twigs was sent by A w
 Merrill, entomologist of the Agri- cultural Experiment station. in re- spOnse to a request for advice from a correspondent at Alamo Arizona: The twigs which you sent are in
 jured by the egg punctures of a cicada or locust. This insect is re- lated to the seventeen year locust which is such notorious pest in the eastern and northern states The species which occurs in your vicin- ity probably requires only two or three years to develop instead of the | long periods required by the eastern species mentioned above.
 The young stages of these cicadas | live in the ground, feeding on roots of trees and vines. The injury done | by the immature insect, however, is not of much consequence. The prIn- | cipal damage done by the adults is in the form of egg punctures on the small twigs. This injury frequently
 not only stunts growth, as you de scribe, but weakens it so that the
 twigs are easily broken off. If not broken off, in the course of year
 or two the wounds will usually heal | completely. There is very little that can be done to protect your trees against these insects, since it is prob able that they breed in large numbers on the roots of cottonwood and other trees. Small fruit trees may be pro l tected by completely enclosing the tops with cheap mosquito netting. Twigs that are injured should be cut off and burned as soon as the brood of adults has disappeared.
 q should be very much interested
 in seeing specimens of cicadas from your locality to determine whether

 have in the Salt River Valley.
 would suggest that in the spring you
 watch the fruit trees closely, espe-
 ciaIIy when you hear the shril
 sounds which are characteristic oi these insects If you are able tC capture one or more of these speci- linens. please send them to me for
 examination. The presence of these insects in your orchard is no reflec- ton whatever on the nursery stock
 which you planted, since the insects could not possibly have been brought l in with the trees.

SPURIOUS COIN MAKES
 BOYS LOADS OF TROUBLE
But Coin Itself Ge@s Broken During
 the Wandering.

If the life story of the spurious coin picked up ta a cigar stand in PhOneiX Saturday were to be written it would perhaps be a most mixed and at the same time sad story. It would lead, so far as is known, all about the city, causing woe and trouble to all who took it, and at last dying with a sadly broken heart. But away with the morbid
 Late yesterday afternoon two young men, employed on farm west of the city, came to the office of United States District Attorney Morrison, accompanied by Officer EgIey of the city police. With them they brought the coin in question. Their story was a simple one of getting it as change.
 They had received of their boss in the morning a check for $25 and had come to town and cashed the check at a bank at ten minutes of twelve. just before closing time. Soon after they had gotten the money at the bank they went to sam Seip's cigar stand. in front of the Casino saloon, where one of them bought a thirty five cent pipe, giving the clerk a ten dollar gold piece for the pur- chase.
 Not being able to change the ten. the clerk went inside the Casino, where the bartender, Doc Jones, gave him two lives. Returning to the stand, he gave the boys one five and $465 in silver, all of which was pocketed at one time.
 At two in the afternoon, according to the story of the boys, they came back to the cigar stand. After leav-

Only 37O3 miles of railway were
constructed in the United States in
1912, and the indication is that the
mileage for 1913 will be even less.
The Railway and Engineering Re-
view says that "the evidence of lack
of money from insufficient earnings
and impaired credit is to be found
in these figures" In the construc-
ton of new railroads in 1912, Tex
as led with 346 miles. Oklahoma
was second with 265 miles. In Kan
rs miles were built-the completion
of the Santa Fe's new line from
Dodge City to Elkhart. In other
Santa Fe states new milage in 1912
is reported as follows: Arizona 119
miles, California ia, Colorado 6,
Illinois 81, Missouri 100. Construc-
ton of the S7OS miles of new line
was in forty-two states. In Vermont
only one mile of new road was
built. In 1911 the new mileage in
the United States was 1895.

You remember Heney-Francis
Heney who warmed up the atmos-
phere at a chautauqua here telling
about himself? Well, c. F. Scott
tells one of the Chicago convention
stories that never got into print was
to the effect that while Colonel
Roosevelt was still a candidate be-
fore the Republican convention he
made a special request of Heney
that he "raise all the HI he could"
in that convention. The request
fitted in exactly with Heney's in
clinations, for he never was a Re-
publican, and he proceeded to carry
out his instructions. Newspaper
readers even yet will easily recall
the coarse language and the vile
abuse that he shouted out at the
convention every chance he got max
ing himself so obnoxious that the
Roosevelt people themselves finally
had to call him off. And then when
the Progressive convention met and
the list of men who were to make
the nominating and seconding
speeches was submitted to Col.
Roosevelt, he made no objection to
any man except Heney. "For Hea-
ven's sake, don't let that man
speak," he cried. ''He is a wild
ass of the desert and there is no
telling what he would say!" OF
course the remark got to Heney,t
and the things he said by way Of
rebuttal would not do to print at
all!

Republican candidate who won by a

stood for all the good things in poll
tics while the Progressive candidate
was a "sardine-canner who sought

otherwise a political undesirable.
Now we do not wish needlessly to
open up this very unpleasant sub

Goods that are advertised are
usually priced to give the merchant
