governmental activities, which the
Red Cross will be called upon to dc
in all parts of the world, will be upon
a great scale, but it will call for
human service rather than for large
expenditures.
What the American Red Cross needs
now is not so much contributions of
money as the continued devotion and
loalty of sits members. This is pc
culiarly true at this moment of trans
ition from war to peace. Annual
membership involves the payment of
only one dollar. The moneys thus re-
ceived not only defray all the admins
trative expenses of the organization,
but leave substantial balance, which,
together with all funds subscribed di-
rectly for relief, are devoted solely to
that purpose.
The roll call of the nation is thus
to be called at Christmas time, that,
through enrolment in their Red Cross,
the American people may send a mes
sage to our soldiers still overseas and
to the people of the world that we arc
not merely content with seeing our
arms united with our Allies in victory
but that our abiding purpose is that
the love, sympathy and the intellig-
ence of all America shall be rededicat-
ed to the permanent service of man
kind. Yours very truly,
F. T. Heffelfnger,
Division Manager.

be irrigated at one time as can be pre- pared and planted before it becomes too dry to germinate the seed. Failure to follow this practice often results in poor stand.
 To insure a good stand. from 40 to 50 pounds of seed to the acre should be planted. This quantity will give q thick drill of seed, which, germinating together, will break through any crust that may form. A thin drill of seed on land which tends to crust is very apt to result in a po~s stand of cotton.
 It is never advisable to flood the land after planting in order to serminate the seed, since the young plants are unable to push through the crust formed by flooding and a poor stand results. In the case of very heavy land which has been bedded, an irrigation in furrows may be given in order to germinate the seed.
 Early Cultivation
 As soon as the plants are visible in the rows, cultivation should begin. It is very important to cultivate as soon as possible, in order to break any crust that may have formed to check evap- oration, and to kill the weeds. The benefits from frequent shallow cultiva- ton at regular intervals during the early growing season are that the root system will develop better, the soil will be aerated. weeds will be kept down and less water will De required.
 Early Irrigation
 If the land is level and contains the proper amount of moisture when the seed is planted, and if intensive culti. vation is practiced, the crop will not require an irrigation for six weeks ol two months after planting, except or new land, which may require irrigation sooner At the end of this time, the cotton should be given a light furrov irrigation, followed by cultivation a: soon as the ground is dry enough tC work. In some instances one cultiva. ton after an irrigation will be suf ficient to mulch the surface properly If one cultivation does not put the fielC

 The foregoing pledge, presenting the obligation of members of the Arizona Limit Investment club, a statewide organization for the furtherance of the sake of War Savings Stamps, bore ,ruit with a rush almost before the Ink was dry on the pledge cards. When Carl II. Anderson, secretary treasurer of the Arizona Mutual Auto Insurance company. signed the first pledge in the presence of State Direc- tor Harry K. Tritle, that official did not expect immediate fulfillment. But An derson hurried from the War Savings committee headquarters to his own of flee, wrote check for $S26 repre- senting tho present sale price of $1 1000 worth of War Savings certificates and then casually dropped into the lobby of the Hotel Adams.
 Misses Henrietta Olney and Kitty Craig were iE charge of the Thrift stamp booth in the Adams lobby on Thursday. They greeted Anderson as a prospective customer. He handed them his check and thereby caused a furry.
 The young women were plainly flus- tered. In the excitement one sized up the check to be in the sum of $S.26, the price of two baby bonds. Then the other determined that it was for $S2. 50, the price of ten baby bonds. But fin ally the two agreed that it was for $826, the price of 100 baby bonds, more than they had on hand.
 State Director Tritle was hurriedly called into conference and he advised the young women to send over to the postoffice for the necessary number of bonds. When they arrived, the ex- change of bonds for the check took place. It was an epoch in the Arizona campaign for the sale of War Savings certificates. The photographer dropped in opportuniely and snapped the little group just as the actual transfer was being made. A picture of the happy check itsefxz
 incident, together with one of the check itself are presented herewith.

stances to throw up beds, for the req son that land of this character may have to be irrigated in order to ger the seed. The beds should be made 31a feet wide and s inches high, but should be dragged down to not more than half of this height before planting. A drag can easily be con- of ? by inch scantling that will take two Cor possibly three) beds at a time. It should be weighted down until it drags off enough of the surface clod to get down to the moist soil. Bedding is usually unnecessary, since, if pulverized sufficiently after a thor ough irrigation and before planting, most of the soil of the Salt River valley will hold moisture enough to bring up the seed without further watering.
 Planting
 Planting should be done between March 10 and April 1, or as soon as possible after the danger of frost is over. Either one-horse or a two- horse planter may be used, though the latter will be more satisfactory.
 On land which has been made very rich by previous crops of alfalfa and Bermuda grass, cotton should be plant ed in rows four feet apart. On new land, desert land, and grain land that has never been in alfalfa, the rows should be three feet apart
 Under normal conditions, seed should not be planted less than one inch or more than two inches deep. If the soil is in perfect condition, one to one and one-quarter inches is a sufficient depth to plant, but one should always bear in mind that the seed must be planted deep enough to insure prompt ger imitation and bring the young plants above the ground. It is very impor- tant that only as much land should

 The bales should present neat az pearance, comparable to those which are exported from Egypt. They should be thoroughly covered with heavy bur lap, and the ends should be sewed. For each bale a large and representative sample should be taken during the gin ming. so that it will not be necessary to cut open the bale in negotiating for its sale.

Cost of Doing Business Increasing

The cost of operating a bank has increased along with increases in other lines. Meeting the situ a tion has brought us into close contact with cost prob lens in general and con- vinced us that they need constant attention, be- cause costs are never stationary.
 Watch for other adver- tisements we will pub fish from time to time. They will contain some general suggestion as to how to meet rising costs. If you are interested in going further into these matters, we will be glad to discuss them with you individually. We believe we are in a posi- tion to give helpful ser vice in solving business problems. Please feel free to consult with us at any time.
 It is a part of our busi- ness to be of service in business as we'll as fi- nancial matters - to small businesses as we'll as large.
Arizona republican., 1918-02-17

Cost figures show that, during the last twenty five years, the expense of running a retail store has about doubled. Manufacturing costs have climbed steadily. Costs of producing farm crops have risen and are rising.
 Prices of labor and ma terial have gone up. Cost standards of even a few years ago no long CT apply to any busi- ness.
 The most stable busi- nesses are constantly undergoing readjust- ments to offset rising costs.
 Up-to-date cost figures which are constantly be- fore the bosses enable them to keep their busi- ness on a sound basis i'll the face of rising costs and reduced net profits on individual transac- tions.
 This is true of the small business as well as the large one.

Des Moines, Ia, September Is
Oral pictures of the battlefields of

by the incapacitGted American SOL
diers brought to the Fort Des Moines

Land"

chap, gazing thoughtfully into space,

While most of the patients at
Fort Des Moines now are from home
camps-hardly hundred are from
overseas-it is planned to use the
hospital entirely for men injured
abroad, and plans call for some 1900
beds.
Those from overseas originally were
from all parts of the United States.
Just recently three Iowans arrived
all victims of the Chateau Thierry drive
when the Franco Americans pushed
back the armies of the German crown
prince.
All three were members of the 16Sth
infantry, Iowa's own unit in the Rain
bow division. Just year ago they
went to France-raw almost untrain-
ed, but in the spring and summer
fighting, the regiment has made an
enYiable reputation.
Private Albert Ganzemer of Ash
ton, Ia, member of Company E, was
cited for, bravery and awarded the
medal of honor. He treats lightly
his action in carrying the mangled
bodies of their Iowans from the
trenches during heavy barrage-to
have left them there might have af-
fected his comrades morale.
In the next bed was Private Mike
Dritch of Essex, Ia. and of the same
company as GanZemer. They had
been together since their regiment left
Iowa. A machine gun bullet was
