GOOD MOTHERS
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

What is @ good Mother? Is It she who provides everything for a selfish son? Who provides edu- cation, refinement, opportunity?
 Is there better Mother than that?
 If So, every Mother wants to be that better Mother, for history has to show that rarely has there been great man who didn't have a great Mother.
 Ella Wheeler Wilcox gives that hint n February Cosmopolitan - you'll nave to read her poems over several times; for the best part of 1t is that you have to do most of the thinkiRg-she starts you going.

D. RowelI, vice president and E. R. Wilber, whom the type in yesterdays Republican enormously designated as Bilbur, is secretary and treasurer. Coming to Gilbert and looking over the situation carefully. MT. Skinner, a former Ken tuckian, decided that it was a good place in which to settle, and coupled with the gentlemen named and other citizens of that community established the bank, and at once put it on basis of practical benefit to the citizens of the town and the ranchers round about. The directors, A. w. Ayers. J. A. Davis and Charles A1 Hoffman are well known and influential men and their names have added to the feeling of confidence that the patrons of the bank have in the institution.
 Without waiting in suspicious manner to see whether the bank would become a success, the leading ranch CTS and business men of Gilbert placed their accounts therein and the com bined optimism of the officials, direc- tors, depositors and the public general ly as to the permanency and helpful CO operation of their home bank. has served to make it a most popular in stitution. recognized as being always

 In Rabbit Hole
 When first arrested, Stuart is al legged to have denied the possession of any opium, but on the way to his rooms told the officers that he had brought it in at the request of Mr. ' ing, the owner-of the Parlor restau- rant of Mesa. Wing on the other hand denies this and states that Stuart told him if he didn't take the opium and pay him $500 he, (Stuart) would kill the Chinaman. When the opium was found still another story was forth coming, viz, that on coming out of No- gales a rabbit jumped up and Stewart shot at it. The animal escaped under brush pile and when the hunter ran his hand into the brush he encountered the package and brought it on to Mesa. Stuart is in jail at Phoenix awaiting trial and Piclens is wondering how six little cans each not larger than two packages of cigarettes placed side by side, can be worth such pile of money.

NJ COTTON BUYING
 UNTIL AFTER OCT. 1

MESA, Sept. 17.-From authentic information received here, it is likely that there will not be a great deal of business done in the way of buying cotton in the valley until after October 1. Word received from one of the larS- est buying firms in the country is to the effect that since the price for which manufacturers shall sell cotton goods is to be fixed on October l and since there is no definite information as to what these prices are to be, mills are 10th to buy cotton and hence brokers and buyers generally are awaiting the opening market.
 The report states that there is a strong sentiment in Washington and the east that the price of cotton should in some way be stabilized since at pres ent the market fluctuates with each passing rumor making the buying very uncertain and resulting in lower offers locally to the growers of the staple.
 While there is thus a delay in the opening of the market, it must not be construed as a poor market or low one. Indications are that the selling prices to be given the manufacturers of cotton cloth are sufficiently liberal as to allow a fair margin of profit, hence the prospects are favorable for a fair price to the grower.

Cotton Supply is Low

It also is a fact that the supply oi long staple cotton is quite low in the mills and it is believed that they are anxious for it, but are holding back until they can definitely figure on a safe price to offer. Indeed sa cautiously are the manufacturers awaiting the October l, price fixing that some Of them have withdrawn entirely from the selling market and are holding their goods until after that date.
 The substance of the cotton situation seems to be that the market will be very sluggish until after the first of next month, then with favorable prices allowed the makers of cotton cloth, there will begin a reasonably active demand of the long staple at prices that will bring a nice profit to the grower. The prices already announced by the government on lawns and other fine cotton goods are considered by the mill men as fair and much more liberal than they had expected, all of which promises favorable prices to the long staple producers.
