when MT Bowen appeared at Gro ver's place, clothed in q large smile, and invited all corners to smoke at his expense In reply to the inter rogation marks that shown upon the faces of the recipients of his gener- osity, MT. Bowen explained that an expert cotton picker had arrived at his house the night before. He eX- pIained that he was simply setting | q good example to the other cotton f growers, as he was not in favor of | importing outside labor if suffiricent l expert help could be secured at 1 home MT. Bowen always was an , optimist.
 1 A P Taylor, who has charge of l the J. L Coffin ranch during the ab- sence of the owner. in addition to | looking after the ranch, milking IS head of dairy cows, and keeping
 down the weeds, finds times to Culti-
 vate a twenty-acre field of cotton, He reports the cotton growing finely.
 with loads of bolls that will soon be ready for the pickers. This IS MT
 Taylors first experience in cotton growing, and he says he has learned in a practical school that Egyptian cotton will not grow in the shadow l of cottonwood trees. He discovered
 
 the trees failed to grow. He tried planting again, and then replanting' with the same result; and it was not
 until he had a straight tip from an l expert that he learned that cotton 1 must have the unrestricted sunlight
 in order to mature.
 Byron Ellsworth presented the Mesa
 Commercial club with q vegetable
 curiosity. a couple of days since
 in the shape of a cucumber 15 inches
 in length and nine inches in cir
 conference. It is shaped in the
 form of a crescent. and made it's dp-
 pearance in a plot devoted to cucun bers, the remainder of the crop beiht
 of normal growth. MT. Ellsworth ha'
 not attempted to give name to tho
 variety. but is inclined to believe because of it's crescent shape, tha l the vegetable is of Turkish origin. At a session of the Mesa lawyers E Ieague, held recently, one ot tn l members told of experience ha' with prospective client, lev n days since. It seems that the part
 had a claim against a man Wh II does not live in Mesa, but who ha
 been unfortunate in business ven ' tures. The client wanted an al u tachment issued against the party TO '' a small debt. The lawyer began Tn U auiries as to the prospect ot flndlh D property belonging to the debtor Suo : iec+ to attachment. It was foun II that the records gave little encour apement. The mans ranch had bee e attached for necessaries of life; m s borsas for a bill of merchandise his cows and chickens mortgaged
 secure the payment of a past 1u
 note and the growing crops an
 farm machinery held in trust to S'
 cure the hardware and seed me M Said the lawyer: T don't see lhuc h hope of finding anything that C. can hold under attachment. w ell C. said the creditor, "I was out th ch way a few days ago, ana llhu 'i t. he is digging a well. He Will pro' 's ably strike water in a day or 'w S and thought that if we had u e. naners ready we might attach Il m water before somebody got ahead 'al us"
