King Cotton and His Cabinet

There is much food for thought in the state ments with regard to made at the recent meet ing of the Rotary club. As indication of the price which should be paid for Pima cotton and of it's para mount supremacy, these statements are most con- fortng to the Salt River Valley it's hundreds of cotton growers. They also show the benefit coming from co-operaton. for without cooperation cotton would have reached the place it holds in this section.
 The result secured, the development of a cotton with staple nearly A inches in length did not come by chance. it came through hard work and scientific care. Mir George Butterworth representing the United of Markets in itself one of the most useful bureaus of the government placed the seal of his approval what had been done but this valley should not forget it's debts gratitude to the net we all delight honor.

WAR TEMPE
 MIN TER PLANS AT COUNTRY CLUB

With the idea of making the Country club the favorite recreation center this season, the entertainment committee met Saturday afternoon when the win tel s social calendar was partially out lined.
 since the war note has been sounded in practically every home it is almost certain that there will be little formal entertaining in the city That the in formal gatherings will be all the more popular is equally certain and that the Country club will be the rendezvous for such affairs is undisputed.
 On Saturday the entertainment com mittee will preside at the initial tea for the season, and bridge will be d feature. On the fi1st Saturday of each month this program will be carried out and on the remaining Saturdays lunch con will be served and the afternoon devoted to knitting and Red Cross ac- tivitiesl The Wednesday tennis lunch cons will be observed as last winter and there will, of course, be golf at all times to attract devotees of the sport
 On Halloween the club will give an affair in Keeping with the spirit of the occasion. Preceding the evenings en- tertainment which will be in form of a dance will be a beefsteak supper served promptly at six o'clock. Tennis and . solf in the afternoon will attract many who will remain for the dance. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New, Years eve are other dates claimed by the club for delightful events, all of which will be planned by the entertain ment committee comprising Mrs. Rn pert F. Moore, chairman; Mrs C. F. Ainsworth Mrs. Richard F. Sloan, Mrs Donald Dunbar. Mrs. Sydney J. Ross, Mrs Phil Lewis Mrs Paul Bennett and Mrs Hugh Campbell
 The Country club attraction of more general interest to the public at large than any other is the play. It will place in the autumn this season, and according to Dame Rumor will be giv- en under the direction of Ed Redmond. Although the committee admitted that play was being considered for early presentation, neither the chairman, R. Allyn Lewis. nor Mrs. Barry Goldwater serving with him would make any 3efinite-statement.
 Mir. Redmonds ability is acknowl edged. and if the club succeeds in se- curing his services the success Of the ,iroductionN is assured.

The story made it appear that
Griffin told the newspapers about
getting the letter from the maniac.
AS a matter OF fact, he didn't tip the
papers off.
The Examiner intimated that the
leak was in the Federal bldg. But
the other newspapers traced the
story to the detective bureau, be-
tween the chief of detectives, James
Larkin, and the chief clerk, James
Markham.
Griffin says he told Markham
about getting the letters and asked
protection from the writer, but eau
toned Markham to secrecy because
he didn't want the story to become
public for fear of frightening his wife
and two children.
Markham says the only one he told
about the story was his superior, the
chief of detectives, James Larkin.
When the story was spread by the
Examiner yesterday both were
called from the offices of every
loop newspaper.
They deny telling a soul about
Grifin's complaint. So there you are.
