Mexican Cotton
Men Are to Meet

Calexico Chronicle: The United
States government has ruled that the
cotton growers in Lower California
must submit their cotton to inspection
by a government inspector before
their product is admitted to this coun-
try. These men have no objection to
this ruling, but with characteristic
governmental ability for muddling up
affairs, this ruling has been made and
no inspector has been appointed. The
growers have cotton ready to bring
across the line at this time and the
government is not represented here
with an inspector. The result is that
the growers are face to face with a
situation which demands quick action.
J. G. Becker, president of the
American-Chinese Cotton Growers
Association, has issued a call for
meeting of this body for this Saturday
evening to meet at the city hall. All
members of the association are urged
to attend, and others who are inter
ested in the cotton industry of Lower
California are also invited to attend.
The call reads as follows:
"Calexico, Sept. 10-Dear Sir: On
Saturday night, September 10, the
American-Chinese Cotton Growers
Association meets at the Calexico city
hall. You must attend this meeting
to register your cotton for importa-
ton into the United States and ar
range for its inspection. Discussion
will be heard on the cotton picking
price to be paid the Chinese and other
labor. Washington, D. c., is to re-
ceive your importation request. Get it
there as quickly as possible, if you
desire to cash your cotton before

James Watson Says
Charges Are False
CBy United Press Associations

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-Gen-
eral denial of allegations against him
by Mulhall was made yesterday by
eX-Representative James Watson of
Indiana before the house insidious
lobby probers.
Mulhall had testified that Wilson
while member of congress, was paid
a weekly salary by the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers to anv.g-
onize all labor legislation.
Watson testified: ~ was never ap-
preached by officials OF the associa-
tion nor asked to favor any legisla-
ton in which they were interested. |
never was a lobbyist | also wish to
deny that | ever put friends of the
National Manufacturers on the house
committees.
"YOu need not tell me any man

to put on committees. Sometimes he
asked me what | thought of such a
man, but | never asked him why
| always told him without asking
Watson admitted that when he was
a candidate for governor of Indiana
Mulhall offered to help him with orga-
nized labor and that he told Mulhall
to proceed. He denied that Mulhall
ever collected funds in any of his
political campaigns.
He said, II want to add that l never
saw a corrupt man in the house and
never knew any attempt to corrupt

Denver Women Are
Proud of Big Feet

DENVER, Colo, Sept. I3.-Denver
women have the biggest feet in the
country. The distinction used to
be enjoyed by the women of Chicago
at least, so the rest of the world
said But now Denver has wrested
the distinction from the Chicago
women. 1t was right that this should
be so. The Chicago women were
ashamed of the big feet. Denver
women are proud of theirs.
Miss Clara Houston's feet are typi-
cal Of the Denver size and shape. Miss
Houston says hers is the perfect foot.
She is a chiropodist, and therefore
she ought to know.
Miss Houston's foot is nine inches
long; nine inches around the ball, and
nine inches around the instep. The
owner says woman's foot should be
one-seventh of her height, and Den
yer shoe dealers say their customers
feet usually conform to these dimen-
sionS.
"The only sizes of women's shoes
we have left over," said one local
dealer, "are those smaller than No.
a. OF this sort we have a big stock.
We are trying to sell them off at bar
gain prices. They are good shoes and
we are trying to sell them for a mere
song, but Denver women can't use
'em. They're too small for the Denver
foot. We are hoping for an influx of
visitors who need small shoes and
have small feet.

are slenderer than southern or east

CALUMET, Mich, Sept 13.-
Troops with drawn sabers forced a
crowd Of strikers and strike sympa-
thizers today. Many, including
women and children, were knocked
down and trampled and several in
jured. The clash followed gathering
on the street which resulted in a sym
pathetic demonstration for the strik-
ers. The military authorities have
prohibited such assemblages.
The mine owners refusal to ar
bitrate differences with the miners
caused the officials of the Western
Federation of Miners to order
peaceable demonstration. There was
"a tremendous turnout in response TO
the call. The streets were jammed
and traffic tied up. The police being
powerless, called on the militia COM
mander, who ordered the cavalry to

say nothing OF the countless other
flowers that give their best bloom to
pay for their care.
Flowers are only a small part of the
production OF this up-to-date farm. for
Mrs. Swanson does nothing half-heart-
ed or indifferently. Her farm keeps
the table the year around. Each week
box arrives at the senator's city
home, the contents OF which for quail
ity go ahead Of anything the city mar
kets can provide. Mrs. Swanson
raises and cures her own hams, her
dairy furnishes her table with deli
cious butter and her poultry yard sup
plies chickens and eggs such as are
only enjoyed by few in these days Of
cold storage and refrigerator cars.
Fruits and fresh vegetables of every
kind in abundance are carefully and
scientifically cultivated, for she reads
all of the works that bear upon farm
management and cultivation. In or
der OF facilitate her correspondence to
her farm people she has recently
learned to operate a typewriter, and
now all of her letters of instruction
are written on this machine. She also
keeps a large herd of cattle, and not
a single field is plowed or a bit Of
seed planted except by her orders and
under her minute instruction. She has
made an exhaustive study of fertili-
zers and soil cultivation, and dis
courses upon these subjects as learn
edly as any sunburned, horny-handed
farmer who has spent lifetime work
ing in his fields.
Mrs. Swanson puts enthusiasm and
energy into everything she under
takes. She enjoys society, delights in
travel, enthuses over her new city
home, but adores her farm, declaring
that is the only way to live. She asks
nothing better for nine months of the
year than to be allowed to stay there.
But with all her love of country life
and quiet she is too entirely devoted
to her husbands welfare and comfort
to leave him to the heat and solitude
of summer alone in the city, so the
Darby and Joan existence they lead
is constantly spent together despite
the allurements Of the country and the
exactions of public duty.
Mrs. Swanson is an artist, as the
dainty vignettes about her home tes-
tify, and also a famous housekeeper
of the old-fashioned type. giving per-
sonal supervision to every detail Of
both establishments.

such constant and increasing care as
to secure for himself the real friend

loss is irreparable, and the death of
this truly faithful and devoted SER
want has been a grievous shock to

Nor was this tribute surprising, con-
sidering the high regard Queen Vic
toria entertained for the stalwart
Highlander, whose fidelity to his du-
ties was such as to earn not only the
entire confidence, but the real friend
ship of the queen. Once her majesty
wrote of him: He was always re-
spectful, never servile; always useful,
never obtrusive; usually silent, but
when he did speak he was blunt and
direct"
Nearly every event of state impor-
lance is notified in the Court Circu-
lar" Every time the king receives a
prime minister or any officer Of state
the fact is duly chronicled, and in the
same way, when his majesty has an
audience with ambassadors or COVER
nors, or where he performs any cere-
mony or act, the public is informed OF
it through the Court Newsman.
An interesting event in the history
of the Court Circular" was that
which occurred on November Is, 1911,
when the whole paper was dispatched
by wireless telegraphy AT that time
the king and queen were going to at
tend the great coronation Durbar, and
the customary account of the court do
ings was transmitted by wireless from
Gibraltar.
1t was week later that the Court
Circular" described for the first time
the king and queen consort OF these
realms as their imperial majesties.
This arose, of course. from the fact
that it was only when the king-em-
peror and the queen-empress reached

the title couId be accorded them as

that the paper is a cause of worry, and
costs more than it is worth. He holds
that in these days of up-to-date jour
nalism, it is unnecessary.
Queen Victoria took keen interest
In the Circular and it was her rule,
when her majesty was in residence
at Balmoral, to send a special copy
to one of the Aberdeen papers every
evening. Furthermore, although an
official court newsman was responsible
for the publication of the Circular"
the late queen herself on special oc-
casions contributed to its pages.
Probably the most remarkable
Court Circular" ever sent out was is
sued one DAY in 1883, when John
Brown. her majesty's faithful highland
attendant died. 1t contained the fol-
