avoided by the use of

~ 1000 tons of ice every week.
Ice making requires continuity of the pow.

Object to Secure Materials for Surgi
 cal Dressings Committee.

The Surgical Dressings Committee neld it's regular meeting on Monday, the attendance being most encourag- ing. In fact, so much work was ac- complished that the Committee is about out of materials and has de- cided to raise the money needed for further purchases by a Bridge Party, which will take place at the Woman's s Club Building on Monday, February 2S. at o'clock.
 The fee for each person will be fifty cents, which will include light re treatments. It has been suggested that many who do not care for cards may desire to show their interest in the cause by bringing their work and spending the afternoon at the club. Tea will be served at 4:30 and it is hoped that any who are unable to be present during the early part Of the afternoon may drop in for few min utes at that time.
 It is requested that those who de- sire to help an excellent cause in this pleasant way, notify Mrs. Sims Ely pr Mrs Gordon Tweed as soon as possible of their intention to attend.
 The Surgical Dressing Committee has been doing a splendid work. over 1700 dressings having been shipped to New York during the month of January

THE FINER POINTS IF GRAPE FRUIT
Suggestions Supposed to Increase ln-

Are the eligible men about town sincere in their efforts to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce?
 Are the best known bachelors in the city using the civic institution for their own selfish purposes?
 Some half dozen clubmen were in terviewed yesterday on Grape Fruit and gave delicious recipes, easily fol- lowed, featuring the favorite fruit. Now the question arises were they doing this to increase the popularity of Grape Fruit Day or were they gracefully conveying an idea to some one of what they really enjoyed in the way of an appetiZing cocktail, salad or dessert?

OLD HOME SINGERS
 0N THE H|-Y COURSE

The Old Home singers the seventh number of the Hi-Y Lecture course appear tomorrow evening at the High School auditorium. There are five artists in the company and each is a soloist of pleasing quality selected by the famous Redpath bureau. The program is varied and they sing se- lectons from Sentimental ballads, rag time and old time songs now nearly forgotten.
 At the opening of the program the first scene is just where they have returned from a musicale, where a song had been composed by one of the young men, which has proven the hit of the season. Following the con gratulations a discussion starts re- garding the music of today. They plan an evening of old songs. The men appear in a costume of 1850 and mirth provoking fashion try to ac- custom themselves to the clothes of their grandfathers.
 The women of the company are also clothed in quaint dresses of that time with sixty yards of lace on the ruffles." Among the songs that will be sung will be: Sweet Gene vieve," When You and I Were
 Young Maggie, Pop Goes the Wea- | gel" The Kerry Dance" and many songs sung with games such as: "Old

Salt River Valley Cotton

The chamber of commerce has received m the Santa Fe, Phoenix and Prescott Railroad company, enclosing letter from the department of agriculture, warning the growers of in the River valley against the introduction of short staple cotton into the valley The department states that the growing of short staple cotton irrigated lands has been found to be permanently profitable But that is not the worst of it. If that were all, only those gagged in the experiment would suffer. The publican has frequently pointed within the last three years and the department warns the pres Of short staple would endanger the reputation the Egyptian cotton, grown here and would in- jure the market for it. For says the department through the cooperative action of the farmers in maintaining pure seed and growing this type alone Egyptian cotton from the Salt River Valley has now attained enviable position among buyers and man ufacturers.
 The experience of older cotton growing com munites," says the department, such as the Delta region of Mississippi and the Sea Island regions of South Carolina and Georgia, shows the difficulty of maintaining the culture of long staple in presence of short cotton Mixture Of seed and cross ing of varieties continually taking place with a resulting loss of uniformity in the fiber. Since uni formity is of the chief in determining the market vaue the short cotton is injured by such admixture7

It is difficult enough to prevent the deterioration of quality without such admixture, to prevent pure seed from deterorating. Only by the careful selec- ton of the best seed a standarc be maintained and just this is being especially impressed upon the growers by the department the agricultural ex- tension service and local associations
 About two years ago The Republican printed a synopsis of extensive review by the London Times of the situation in Egypt and North Africa, showing such deterioration of long staple cotton fiber there through ignorance and careessness that the British government and the British spnners encouraging investigation of other fields, the time undertaking the expenditure of millions pro- the intelligent cultivation cotton in Egypt.
 The long staple industry in this valley is a firm basis. Growers of it fully realize what is to be done maintain the high standard which is recognized markets of this country and those abroad. Steps are being taken even improve the standard. But all this would be greatly nterfered with by the bringing in of short staple cotton There is, says the department natural inclination the part of settlers coming into the valley from south plant short staple varieties with which they familiar. Though they may be that the growing of short has always been profitable in the southern states in fact frequently unproftable, they imagine that because growing Egyptian is profitable here, short staple be equally
 There is such a great in the world in which short staple be grown that there is ire Quently production with the result that the price is unproftably low. If it would be UnprOfitably low in the southern states, the sea board the markets in this country, it would be ruinously low in Arizona so far removed from the markets. On the other hand, the within which long staple cotton be is restricted that there never be production The demand for it within the last few years has Outstripped discoveries of within which this kind of cotton be produced Salt River valley is one of the few fortunate discoveries

On Wa}s[&li1a@
Extract from the Dinas Island
 Speech by Charles Phillips

Allow me to add one flower to the chaplet which, though it sprang in America is no exotic Virtue planted it, and it is naturaliZed everywhere. l see you anticipate mel see you concur with ne that it matters very little what immediate spot may be the birthplace of such man as Wash inStOn. No people can claim, no cOun- try can appropriate him; the boon of Providence to the human race, his fame is eternity and his residence creation. Though it was the defeat of cur arms, and the disgrace of our pol icy, l almost bless the convulsion in which he had his origin. If the heaV- ems thundered and the earth rocked, yet, when the storm passed, how pure was the climate that it cleared; how bright in the brow of the Armament vas the planet which it revealed to us, In the production of Washing ton, it does really appear as if na- ture were endeaVOring to improve rpon herself, and that all the virtues of the ancient world were but so many studies preparatory to the pa triot of the new Individual instances no doubt there were; splendid eX- qualifications of some single quallfi cation. Caesar was merciful, Scipio was continent, Hannibal was patient; out t was reserved for Washington , to blend them all in one, and, like i the lovely chef doeuVre of the Gre 1 elan artist to exhibit in one glow of | associated beauty the pride of every model and the perfection of every master. As q general, he marshaled | the peasant into a veteran, and sup piled by discipline the absence of eX- 1 lerience: as statesman. he enlarged 1 the policy of the cabinet into the n1ost comprehensive system of general ad- 1 vantage; and such was the wisdom l of his views, and the philosophy o1 l his counsels. that to the soldier and the statesman he almost added the | character of the sage A conqueror, he was untainted with the crime ot 1 blood; a revolulionist, he was free from any stain of treason; for aggres- sion commenced the contest, and his country called him to the commano | Liberty unsheathed his sword, neces- 1 sity stained, victory returned it. II lie had paused here. history might l nave doubted what station to assign him, whether at the head of her cltl- | zens or her soldiers, her heroes or her patriots. But the last glorious act crowns his career and banishes all hesitation. Who, like Washington, after having emancipated a hemi- sphere, resigned it's crown. and pre- ferred the retirement of domestic life to the adoration of land he might be almost said to have created?
 How shall we rank thee upon

 Thou more than soldier. and just
 less than sage?
 All thou has been reflects less
 fame on thee,
 Far less than all thou has for

 When consider that in the approaching cleo ton the three be elected will have full control of tn business managem and the sanitary and moral regulations of this city of Phoenix with it's assessed valuation $So,OOO,00O aac population of nearly 2jOOO it is astounding that the people have taken little real interest in this important election
 It must be forgotten that under the ordinances adopted last year the city manager is practically without power except the instrument of the com mission and that the future of Phoenix will be placed absolutely in the hands of the elected. They will have the power make of this city a self respecting orderly city, a wide open town with notorious gambling winked it has been during last few months, and vice rampant.
