COTTON NEEDS LITTLE WATER.

Perhaps not many people in the
valley recognize the great Importance
of the cotton crop altogether aside
from it's money value" said Super.
visor w. A. Moeur Monday morning.
''It is one of the tap root family
of plants and the root goes very deep
When the plant itself attains a
height of six inches it will be found
to have root longer than the top,
and the root keeps growing till it
reaches down two feet or more. This
is almost as good as subsoiling and
the crop in consequence requires but
little water for maturing it.
"The premium cotton at the fair

side and did not receive one drop of
irrigation water / know, for it was
raised on my own place by Charles
WaterhOuse. On the south side the

THANKSGIVING:

We thank thee Lord, that in this life
So strangely filled with stress, and
strife,
Your love and blessings still are rife.
We thank thee Lord, that in your
might
You grant each day some ray of light
To guide our stumbling feet Alright.
We thank thee for thy mercy deep
That helps us our weak faith to keep
Though life's pathway be dark, and
steep:
We thank thee for the swift surcease
from toll, and pain, in deaths re-
lease
When for all time you grant us peace

STATE LEADS
IN RED METAL

Arizona ranks first among the Stat
es in the production of copper, anC
copper mining is by far the main
stay Of the mining industry of the
State, according to E. W. Parker
of the United States Geological Sur
Vey. The recoverable copper cOnten
of the ores produced in Arizona in
1912 was 365, ,03S, $40 pounds, a mill
ion pounds day. The value of this
product was $50, 0,231, ,337 In 1911 the
recoverable copper content of the Or
es produced in Arizona was 301 ,141,-
58 pounds, valued at $38, 8,267 ,692. The
increase in 1912 was 5S,897,11 pounds
or 1872 per cent, in quantity, and
$21, 1868, ,6S5, or 57.4 per cent, in value
The total value of the mineral pro
ducts of the state in 1911 was $44,
503,873; in. 1912 it was 67,497 1888, an
increase of over so per cent. The
large increase in the production OF
copper was due principally to the de-
velopment of steam-shovel operations
On the low-grade schists and porphyry
concentrating ores of the Ray dis
trict, in Pinal county, and the Mi
ami district, in ella county.
Second among mineral products OF
Arizona is gold, in which the state
ranks seventh. The only other i'm
pOrtant mineral product is silver, in
which Arizona ranks sixth in pro-
duction. The three metals, copper,
gold, and silver, constitute nearly SO
per cent Of the total production in
1912 was 181 ,997 fine ounces, valued
at $3,672,210, and the silver produc-
tion was 3,490,387 ounces, valued at
81, 1868. Nearly One-third of the
gold output is obtained in the reduc-
ton Of copper ores, and most of the
silver also comes from copper ores.
Arizona produces also considerable
quantities of lead and zinc, the form
er amounting in 1912 to 3,403 short
tons, valued at $306,290, and the lat
ter to 4, 379 short tons, valued at
$604,319. The total value of the me-
tallic contents of the ores produced
in Arizona in 1912 was $67, ,060, $50, or
more than SO per cent of the total
mineral production of the state.

STREET CLEANING.

Parker's streets are going to be
cleared of mesquite and other brush
if the people of the town continue
the plan inaugurated last Tuesday
women and children turned out and
night, when quite a number of men,
women and children turned out and
cleaned up Arizona avenue The WO-
men toasted marshmelloWs while the
men and boys cut and gathered mes
quite for the big bon-fires.
The proposal to clean up the town
was suggested at the Board of Trade
meeting last Saturday night, and
everybody present were enthusiastic
over the matter. The crowd that
turned out Tuesday night would
have been larger no doubt if the
plan had been generally known.
Another meeting Of the street gang
is to be held tonight (Friday), and
everybody who owns an axe is in
vited to come out and use it. The
ladies are to serve hot coffee and
sandwiches. The place Of meeting
will be the lower end of California
avenue, and that thoroughfare is to
be put through the brush-cutting pro
cess during the evening.
After the streets have been cleaned
Of brush the county will be asked to
send road grader here to level the
thoroughfares.

CELEBRATING Elsld Of Waterloo.

While Americans are observing the
semi-centennial of Gettysburg, and
thousands study the battle by the aid
of the monuments and markers on the
battlefield, complaint comes to Eng
land that the Waterloo terrain is in
danger. While La Hale Sainte and
Hougomont still bear the marks of
cannon shot. both are in danger Of
being rebuilt, and part of the Hougo-
mont wall against which the wave Of
French courage dashed in vain has
already been pulled down. That is not
the worst of the situation, according
to British officer who recently visit
ed the field. "Tramcars" and cheap
fares have been followed by "tawdry
cafes" located on the very spot
whence the Imperial Guard recoiled
What Is to be done? The suggestion
is that cooperation of Belgians and
Englishmen who would preserve the
topography of Waterloo many be effec-
tive in doing for that famous field
what has been done for Gettysburg, but
the first step. 1t is admitted. will be
very expensive. II preservation is not
organized there is danger that the

PASSION FOR THE "PARLoR"
Medical oftseer Finds Fault With Cue
tom Of Using Poorest Rooms
for Sleep.

In the course OF lectures on per.
sonal hygiene at the Royal Sanitary
institute, Prof. H. R. Kenwood. medi-
cal officer of health for Bedfordshire,
dealt with The Home" Much might
be done for the prevention OF tuber-
culosis by the improvement of tho
home. he said. according to the London
Daily Telegraph. Wherever there was
dirt there was also degradation. But
1t was the really invisible dirt in the
form of germs In the atmosphere or
ground that was the most harmful. 1t
was essential In dealing with these to
make the acts OF cleansing rs simple
as possible. and there should be no
heavy pieces of furniture to move:
no nailed-down carpets, but movable
strips and squares and light washable
curtains. 1t should be remembered
that there Is no such thing as dry
cleaning. busting was a mere dis
turbance Of particles unless . damp
cloth. tea leaves or wet sand were
employed.
Was there. he asked. anything more
absurd than to find a little house in .
shabby genteel street with it's bed.
room accommodation overtaxed and
the best apartment used as the par
lor-that holy Of holies. with its odor
that might be called sanctimonious.
and occupying cubic space that could
be far better used! This passion for
the parlor was almost like the fetish
of the uncivilized.
Direct sunshine. with its regenera-
tive power and germicide effects.
should not be reduced by heavy cur
tains. 1t was the soundest Of invest
ments to make the home as healthy
and attractive as possible. The cuckoo
type of parent, depositing its children
at school and expecting them to learn
everything there, should realize that
the true Influences In youth are those
Of the home itself.
