ORGANIZATION FUR
 REGULATING SALE
 OF COTTON FORMED

At a meeting of the cotton growers at the Water Users building Thursday afternoon, it was unanimously decided to form a permanent organization for the marketing of the remnant of this years cotton crop, as well as to take immediate steps looking forward to getting fair prices for the crop now growing. It Was tho unanimous opin- ion of those present that several cents per pound can be saved to the growers through a thorough organization for the handling of cotton. A committee was appointed to draft suitable by laws and constitution, and to report back to an adjourned meeting in a very few days.
 One of the most important steps for the handling of the present crop was an agreement entered into by the grow CTS with the McFadden agency for the handling of the remnant of this crop. Anyone having on hand cotton will do well to get in touch with the committee E. q. Attaway, C. G. Jones, W, $. Dorman. immediately Liberal ad- varces can be made on the cotton at s Der cent interest. and a sale which will be very satisfactory to all the growers is expected to be made within a very reasonable time.
 At the present time it is absolutely impossible to sell the low grade cotton now on hand, and through the work ings of this committee this low grade cotton will be disposed of with the higher grades. giving a fair plice to all. All growers should be very care ful not to dispose of their better cotton and leave or hand a small rannnapt of the poorer grades.

From every part of Arizona comes the good news that the workers are ready to go lover the top" in the big Liberty loan drive commencing Satur- Iday. A year ago the country took its place in the field of war. The anni- yersary finds the country renewing it's pledge to still greater activity and ef-
 fort in carrying out a campaign that will spell victory. After victory, peace. The burden Of financing the fighting
 men is one which all Americans will
 carry willingly No request for finan- cial help will be too great. As in pre- yious loans, Arizona vii occupy a lead ing position when all the subscriptions lare counted. Every hand in the land can be and will be a helping one. With
 a sum of three to four millions of dol- lars to raise, the campaigns committee Is counting on d list of subscribers which will be equal in number to the total subscribers of the first two drives. There should be ten thousand sub scribers in Maricopa county, and the same proportion in every county in the state. Twenty per cent of the popula-
 ton Is not too many to strive for. Arizona has subscribed in amount all that has been asked heretofore, let the
 state take the lead in number of sub scriptions for the third Liberty loan campaign. From out the west will icome the state leading in number of subscriptions made. and Arizona should be that state. From Yuma county, We are getting up the best organiza- ton in the state" From Gila, We are planning an intensive campaign that will include everyone in Gila county" Mohave county is humming with the
 plans for the drive. From Coconino, We are in line and ready for the big day. favapai, Mother of counties
