COTTON MEN
 ADD STRAND
To Valley Organizations When They Meet Tomor- TOW at Water Users to Form Phoenix Planters Association

Another link in the strong chain of
 cotton growers associations in Arizona
 will be formed tomorrow afternoon
 when farmers from the district com
 monly known as the Phoenix section
 of the Salt River valley will meet in
 the Water Users building to band
 themselves into a permanent organi-
 zation. Under the wing of the Salt
 River Valley Egyptian Cotton Associa- ton which was formed at the board of
 trade a week ago, there have sprung
 up minor bodies in all the centers of
 of trade, one at Tempe, one at Mesa, one at Glendale, and now one in the capitol.
 The purpose of the local and in greater breadth and effect of the gen eral association is not to merchandise the cotton crop or anything connected with it but to effect a closer relation ship between the commission men and the farmer A broker who buys his supply of cotton by sample and before
 it is grown needs something to assure him that the produce will be up to his grade. The association is just what is ! needed to reduce the friction between the producing and buying units of the next biggest industry in America. An 1 other purpose is to assure nothing but ! pure long fiber Egyptian staple in this 1 alley and no weed pests.
 In the Wednesday meeting will ap- | pear E. w. Hudson. who is deputed ] by the United States government to i instruct the Indians on the reservation | near Sacaton in the planting and care l of Egyptian cotton. He has assisted 1 at the births of all the smaller cotton l associations in the alley and at that 1 of the main body. He will be one of l the main holds of the Phoenix cotton | growers in their organization tomOr- 1 row. Mir Herbert B Atha, of Glen 1 dale. one of the pioneers in cotton raising and one of the best boosters | the crop has will be another helpful 1 man in the work. All who contemplate 1 planting cotton within the area inn l mediately tributary to Phoenix have | been asked by the organizers to present themselves at the Water Users build
 ing tomorrow afternoon and help the work along

GREATER DEMAND
 FOR OSTRICH PlUMES
Why That Department at Balke's Big
 Curio Store Is Busy.

The ostrich feather department at Balke's Big Curio store continues to be the busiest and il is getting buster every day as Easter ap- breaches Fumes are being pur- chased 10 be sent to all parts of the country because it is realized that there is no other such royal Easter present as an Arizona ostrich plume.
 The price has something to do with it for. notwithstanding the excellence of the plumes the Big CuriO store asks much less for them than in ferior plumes are bringing elsewhere in the whole country.
 So sure of this fact is the proprie- tor of the Big CuriO store that he would rather that intending pur- chasers of plumes would come to his place last
 The Arizona plume is the best in the world That is not an empty statement but the repetition of re- port made by government agent It is more lustrous, the ''flue," that is, the feather part of the plume, is stronger and finer and the stem is smaller all accounting for the longer life of the plume.

No case of contagious blood poison is ever cured until the last particle of the virus has been removed from the circuIa- tion. The least taint left in the blood will, sooner or later, cause a fresh out break of the trouble, with all it's hideous and destructive symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, copper colored splotcheS, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc. No other medicine so surely cures contagious blood poison as $. S. s. It goes down into the blood and steadily and surely drives out every particle of the infection. It absolutely and perfectly purifies the blood, and leaves this vital fluid as fresh, rich and healthy as it was before the destructive virus of contagious blood poison entered the circulation and gradually the symptoms disappear, the health is improved, the skin cleared of all spots, sores and other blemishes, the hair stops coming out, the mouth and throat heal and when S. s. s. has cIeansed the system of the poison no trace of the disease is left. S. s. s. cures contagious blood poison because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers, tested and proven in hundreds and hun dreds of cases all over the country.

The New Convent

Birmingham is becoming better
known each year as an educational
center and the magnificent four story
convent building in the Blessed Sacra-
ment parish, West End, just completed
is a great credit to this city.
The school work in the convent will
begin today. The enrolment yester-
day was highly gratifying to the Sis
ters of Perpetual Alteration, the dis
tinguished teaching order that built
and will conduct this new institution
of learning. So gratifying indeed has
been the enrolment that large an
mex costing $4,000 or more will be
constructed during the next IL months.
1t is understood that the building as it
now stands, fireproof and modern in
every respect, cost considerably up
wards of 100000, and all this money
was brought here by the Sisters of
Perpetual Alteration from headquar-
ters in New Orleans.
Birmingham is city of colleges
and seminaries and the new convent
will rank among the best of them.

THOSE BINDING HEADLIGHTS

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Chicago is. to take action against the
dazzling headlights An ordinance which
went into effect Wednesday gives the
Chicago chief of police discretionary pow
us sorry for the chief.
It's admitted that there's no adequate
means of regulating the glare. Binders,
visors, multiple lens and soap are all
pronounced impracticable.
In short, there is no middle ground be-
tween glare and gloom.
To the other charges against the daz-
zlers g Cleveland father adds a new ar
raignment.
My daughter" he said, made the ac-
quaintance of a fine young man early in
the summer and he called. several times.
He was all right-good family, clean, en-
ergetic, good income-and Julia liked him.
Well, we've got a neighbor about 800
feet up the street with an automobile
that's fitted out with two of the most
dazzling headlights that ever blinded a
profane> community My neighbor brings
his car out early in the evening and let's
it stand there with the lights blazing
and the blamed glare sweeps my porch
and makes it brighter than day. Well, sir.
that estimable youpgster couldn't stand
the publicity. No right minded young
man likes to do his counting with spot
light on him. He quit calling. Our daugh-
ter lost an attractive chance. And |

thoughtless neighbor for contributory neg

Theodore Roosevelt gathered about him

at Chicago the progressive party. Chi

tion.
Mr.. Roosevelt is wary. He might
have chosen to appear in Chicago, re-
affirming the faith with vigor and en-
thusiasm. but he has decided upon q
quieter course. He may want the reg

Old Guard Disintegrating

Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire iftimates that he is not satisfied
with the company he is compelled to
keep as national lawmaker and that
he will not be candidate for re-
election. Such determination on his
part would not be surprising. The
"old guard" already is much more
than decimated. Aldrich, ever wide
awake, was the first to size up the
situation 1t is possible that he might
have won a reelection from Rhode
Island, but he knew that the day of
his dictatorship was over. All the signs
portended a democratic victory, and
he did not care to serve as subject
where he once was king.
Hale escaped humiliating defeat aft
er nearly generation Of service by
declining to stand for reelection to
the Senate from Maine Then one by
one they fell. Carter of Montana,
Bulkeley of Connecticut, Depew of
New York, Briggs and Kean of New
Jersey, Scott of West Virginia, Crane

these and many others have been dis
possessed of their togas.
When the present extra session of

suited just as do all attempts to mix
oil and water. The dissimilarity of the
progressives and standpatters is
elemental. By no strange alchemy can
they be blended.
The truce has been broken. Angered
by the refusal of the "old guard" to
follow him in an effort to make more
drastic the provisions of the proposed
income tax, Mr.. LaFollette gives way
to petulancy and lectures those who
refuse to progress. Mr.. Gallingers
answer is that he's getting tired of be-
ing a senator anyhow.

Rule In n Household

A contributor TO the New York Sun, who
signs himself Pax" discusses a homely
subject in this wise:
I'VE have adopted a new rule in our
household, namely, that there shall posi-
lively be no discussion of any troublous
subject during dinner, nor for one hour
thereafter. We don't bar talk far from
it; we can laugh ana chatter all we want
to; but no discussion; the reason there
for being this:
I'VE are naturally a nervous bunch,
well meaning but <touchy; what our
friends @ould politely call high strung,
sensitive people, our enemies, 'scrappy;
and when we get to discussing things
well. even with the best intentions all
around, each member of the family is
apt to hold to his own opinion pretty
strenuously and to express it pretty Wig
orousy; and while, truly, ours is a very
happy family. yet, when we had got fair
ly launched on one of those discussive
sessions we could manage to spoil our
dinner and to make ourselves, all around,
pretty miserable.
ut was poor business; and so we have
adopted this new rule, positively prohib-
iting discussion of our troubles at table;
with results thus far most felicitous."
