HIGHER PRICES WILL HELP KING COTTON'S
 REIGN IN ARIZONA
Expert Says Growers Will Regret Their Action If They Persist In Planning For Large Increased Acreage

PHOENIX. Ariz., April LII. B. Atha president of the Arizona Egpyt. ian Cotton company, when asked this morning as to the outlook for the coming season said that since Jam- ary the price of the best quality of Egyptian cotton has advanced from eightt on to twenty.three and one-half cents per pound f. O. D. Boston mill points.
 The sudden and persistent increase, he said has been astonishing to all in the cotton business. Snort staple has also made an advance of from one to two cents per pound.
 With reference to the present pros poets for this years crop he said: "It is much easier 10 look back and see the causes for a change than to look ahead and forteIl them. The phe. nomenal advance in Egyptian has probably been brought about by the comparatively poor Egyptian crop last year, hy the decree of the English government restricting the area to be planted in Egypt this year to about sixty per cent of tha. planted last year. and by the development of a de. mand larger than was expected. The result is a price for the best Egyptian about one cent higher than that which prevailed a year ago.
 "The best Arizona Egyptian sells for about two cents less than the best SaKeleredis which is the highest grade produced in Egypt. Last years crop of the Salt Riye- Valley sold on a basis of the Sakeleredis price pre- vailing from November to January which was from eighteen to nineteen and one-half cents bringing the net valley price to from fourteen to fif teen and one-half cents as freight and handling charges are about two cents which, added to the rrice differ ence of two cents. makes a total diff. ference of four cents.
 On today's price the crop would bring about nineteen and one-hali cents or a total of $12O,OOO more than the crop was actually sold for.
 "On account of the low price the results of last season were discourag- ing and the present prospect is for a largely decreased acreage this year. If that happens there will probably be a great many men next fall who will regret their action for it now looks as if the demand is going to be strong and the market price high

IT RUINS HAIR TO
 WASH IT WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very sparingly, if at an. if you want to keep your hair looking its best Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), is cheaper and better than soap or any thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in. It makes an abund- ance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every par ticle of dust dirt dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy Co manage
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months

sth grade. All parents in other parts
Of the city will realize, we believe,
what it means to these parents in the
west end to have children cross a
much-used railroad track daily for
nine month. Most Of these parents
think of the danger morning, noon
and night and men in the vicinity see
the danger as children pass over in
front of trains. A building in the
west end will relieve parents of all
this anxiety.
Third reason With the tension re-
lieved at the Fourth ward by trans

word first about the cleaning out
fit may be in order. The new silver
pan requires only the laying of the
flatware in it, to be covered with boil
ing water and allowed to remain
there until the water cools. Then it
may be dried and polished. There
are number of good liquids and
powders on the market for cleaning
purposes, but those recommended by
the silversmiths and jewelers. are per-
haps the best. Chamois covered pad
ded silver boards are excellent to
clean large pieces on, and the various
brushes and chamois fork and knife
cleaners are necessity, if there is
much cleaning to be done. There are
three sizes in the brushes, and a
spoon burnisher will also be found
very convenient. One of the new
conveniences is the glove chamois
polisher; it has glove pocket on the
back of the chamois which gives one
an excellent grip on it while polish
ing large piece.
When all of the large pieces are
cleaned and polished ready to be put
away for the summer, they should be
lightly smeared over with fresh lard,
then wrapped in camphorated flannel
and put into their cotton flannel bags,
after which they may be slowed away
in closet or silver trunk for the sea-
son. When they are removed they
need only be washed in hot soapy
water, and polished with a chamois,

venient to do SO. These girls should
have a separate room for fitting gar

then will save rental, obviate danger

the kind of eight-room building the
school board, after careful considera-
tion, will build if the people of Mt.
Vernon so determine by their votes.
Plans of the interior of the proposed
building can be seen in the window of

We earnestly appeal to all the cit

this question, believing that you will
endorse the erection of a new build

II does not need the careful handliug
that silver would demand.
Horn, celluloid, wood and bone sal
ad spoons and forks are designed for
summer use instead of the silver, and
are also labor savers. The glass jam
and jelly spoons are also heavy
enough not to break easily in wash
ing, and are good to use for outdoor
feasts. Japanned wood, glass and
wicker trays also are varied enough
to please all fancies, and are very
acceptable substitutes for the silver
winter trays.
These few changes will eliminate
silver cleaning from the summer
household duties, and If the sames

MAS7ODON
Tusk Is Found By LabOrers
Near LOudOnville
(Loudonville AdvocateD'

Quite a number of persons gathered
in front of the Democrat Office Tues.
day afternoon to view eight feet of
the tusk of mastodon exhibited by
Shannon Simms of Honey Creek. The
specimen was found on the creek bed
oi his fam. The mastodon is an ex.
tinct genus of mammals closely al.
lied to but mostly larger than ele-
plants and their remains are found
io nearly all parts of the world The
tusk may be seen in the window at
Covert's drug store.
Thirty species of mastodon have
been distinguished by paleontologsts
and it is the prevailing opinion that
they originated in the Old World and
spread to America by way of Siberia
1t is probable that several species
lived in North America but the one
best known and commonly in mind
when the term is used is Mastodon
Americanus. This species seems to

States and southern Canada and to
have been numerous, for it's teeth
and bones, in more or less perfect
condition, are repeatedly found.
A dozen or more mounted skeletons
are on exhibition in museums in diff
ferent parts of the United States. 1t
is the opinion of competent judges
that the remnants of the herds sur
vived the advent of mankind into
North America but the evidence is
not unquestionable in spite of many
positive statements on record as to
arrow heads lying among mastodon
bones. Nevertheless, American geol-
ogists think it highly probable that
the mastodon and man were briefly
contemporary in North America.
