 Cotton this year promises on an average to equal or sur pass the record of last years great crop. Of course there will be more long staple cot ton for more IS planted but 1t is believed that the aver age acre yield will be greater. Perhaps the general crop sit uation is not quite so good as a year ago, that is crops oth- CT than cotton, but the added acreage more than makes up for this:
 In the most recent govern ment summary it is said:
 While the composite condition of Ari- zona crops September 1 was about 1C per cent less than their average condi- ton on that date it is gratifying te note that the total production prom ises to be well above the average, duo to increased acreage. The wheat croI is estimated at about one million bush. els, which compared with S25,000 bush els last year. The United States croI is now estimated at S99 1000, 900 bushels which is 21,0oo,OO0 bushels more thai was estimated a month ago, and abou 250.000, 900 bushels more than was pro duced last year. On account of tn, small surplus carried over from las season, farmers are urgently requested to increase their acreage for the com ing year.
 The cotton crop continued in excel lent condition during the month, an, with condition of 96 per cent, a tota crop of about 52,O00 bales is indicated Of this amount. about so per cent vii be the Pima variety of Egyptian.
 The commercial production of can taloups totaled 1,173 cars, compare with 1914 cars in 1917, S65 cars in 1916 49O cars in 1915, and 562 cars in 1914.
 Barley estimates were in line wit former estimates, the condition at tim of harvest being reported at S5 pc cent. The estimated crop is placed a 1,020,00 bushels, compared with 1 1,044, 900 bushels last year. The Unite States reports a gain of 4,000,000 bush els, bringing the total forecast of pro duction 10 236,00OO 900 bushels. Hay production is estimated at abou half a million tons, compared with 56S, 900 tons last year. For the Unite States, the production is estimated a S6,300,O00 tons, compared with 94,930 900 tons last year.

 |B.W.Getsiinger and his very courteous and
 efficient corps of salesmen quite happy. Several per-
 sons moving to Phoenix for school advantages have
 bought homes while per

 Auction Sales too are go-

 remarkable success of B.

 fact that he always gives
 satisfaction is making him | many friends. Persons | looking for homes or
 ranches should call at once
 and see some of the splen-

Grace Humphrey, who tells in Ev erybody's how Uncle Sam is building up singing army, says our soldiers will have none of the so called pat riotic song that smacks of conner cialism.

 What songs do they really likei Songs that give the feeling of brother hood and comradeship, that express endearing sentiments of their coun try. and of their home life in that country. The Stephen Foster songs are perhaps the best examples and most popular. They are: Old Black Joe.' 'Swanee River My Old Ken. lucky Home.' They like Keep the Home Fires Burning and The Long Long Trail Annie Laurie and 'Auld Lang Syne' alternate with Over There and Pack Up Your Troubles.'

 Four enormous perpendicular pom toons of hollow steel will then be sunk, two on each side of the ship, and to them will be attached huge cables, passing under the sunken hull. When all is in readiness the vessel may be lifted to the surface. There the gaping wound in her side may be repaired and the ship floated into port This is but an outline of a most ingenious plan, one single fea- ture being the hinged bases of the pontoons, which permit them to sway back and forth in stormy weather without releasing their bur dens.

At the surface it will be only about 30 feet in length and half that in width. But sweeping downward is a hull that may be extended to a length of 300 feet, and which is mounted on big wheels resting on the bed of the sea.
 Near the bottom is a large search light capable of Illuminating the bot tom for a distance of 30 feet or more, and by means of this the helmsman, below the surface, will direct the operations of a hollow, flexible steel rod.

But for one fact, all Of us could re-

that the rain will make the roads al

the rain is not to blame for this state

It's not for the joy-riders alone that

the puddled earth of a road to I'LL the
