RUIN To PLANT
SHORT STAPLE
HERE IS ADVICE
Chairman cotton Committee
Says People Should Real
ize Great Future Of Valley
As Long Staple Center

Nirs. Otto r. Hansen of Glendale,
AriZ- who has recently returned from
the cast where she has been making
800 Investigation OF the cotton situa-
tIon. stated Yesterday as follows:
had the opportunity while at
Washington, d. O.. of confering with
Nr. Charles J. Brand. chairman OF the
recently appointed federal committee
ON cotton distribution. as to the fu-
tlro of Tho Arizona Pima cotton.
Temporary Depression.
While Mr.. Brand realizes that
owing to certain abnormal conditions
fne market is temporarily depressed,
Do also feels very strongly that the
salt River valley would make a most
irronarahie mistake if they should re-
vert Co. growing short staple cotton
and would ruin a very valuable indus
fry which has been developed through
frF continuous cooperation Of the de-
Tartwout of agriculture for period
covering nearly twelve years
Mr.. Brand considers that during the
next few years this industry will find
ite principal location in the Salt River
valley owing to the exceptional eli
matte conditions existing here.
Arizona Pima Equals Best
Tho outlook for Sea Island cotton
i7 very bad. owing to the boil weevil
but tho tests recently made by the
United States government prove the
first three grades of Arizona Pima cot
son fully equal to the Sea Island prod
neg in tensile strength.
The temporary market derangement
isl largely due 10 the fact that an ex-
ceruonally large percentage of the
s0indlcs 81 the New England cotton
mills have been Communicated by the
government for use in making fabrics
for war orders. like duck made from
short staple cotton. and also is due. to
Tho curtailment Of the tire output
caused by war conditions.
Which Pays the Best?
Those who arc planting short staple
cotton Instead Of Pima should realize
f.o difference in prices paid for labor
ND picking, here and in the south where
short staple cotton is profitable. The
prices commanded by the finished
products OF long and short staple. when
meas lrod against the prices OF labor.
0il prove which pays the farmer most

UNITED OLD AND NEW WORLD
Atlantic Cable, After Three Disheart.
enino Failures, Was Successfully
Laid In July-August, 1858.

Sixty years ago our broad Yankee
land awoke and learned that the old
country and the new had been united
by a magical tie-the Atlantic cable.
Through the courage and persistence
of three Americans-there were 9TH
ers, but the three were the actual cable
sponsors-Cyrus w. Field. his brother.
David Dudley Field. and that fine old
philanthropist, Peter Cooper-the great
project was carried over The total
cost was 81, 500, the cable alone
taking $1,256.250, and the line crossed
from Trinity bay. Newfoundland. to
valentia, Ireland, the cable being very
close to $500 miles long.
Three times the attempt to lay the
cable had failed, chiefly owing to de-
fects In its material. The fourth at
tempt was successful. The Niagara,
then the largest ship in the United
States navy, and the Agamemnon, a
British warship, met in midocean on
July 20, 1858, each carrying a section
of the cable. The ends were carefully
spliced and then the two ships turned
homeward, moving slowly as they paid
out the cable. On August 4 the Mia
CARA reached Trinity bay; the Aga
memnon reached Valentia on the 9th.
On August 10 the cable was pro-
nounced In working order, and here is
the first official message that passed
across:
"Europe and America are united nv
telegraphy. Glory to God In the high
est; on earth peace, good will toward
men,"

DAMAGE TO BELGIUM
IS NEAR 3 BILLIONS
Some Big Items That Figure In
Bill Which Germany Must
Pay.

Some of the items which figure on
Germany's bill in Belgium are given as
follows from an official Belgian source :
Local contributions and fines levied
by Germany on Belgium In 1914. S4O,-
100000.
War contributions from November.
1914, to October, 1916, 1892, 900, 900.
Wal contributions, seven months to
May, 1917, $70.OO0,O0O.
War contributions from May, 1917.
to May. 1918, $114,OOO,OOO.
Wal contributions from June to Oc-
tober of the current year. $45, 0OO, 900.
Raw materials and machinery taken
by the Germans were reckoned by
them In January, 1915, at $500, 0OO, geo.
The damage to December, 1914, esti-
mated by the North German Gazette,
amounted to $780, 10000. This makes
a grand total of 1892, 600, 1000.
These items do not include material
destruction and acquisitions since JAN
uary, 1915, which alone must be reck-
med at several hundred million dol
lars.
During the winter of 1915 Belgian
workmen TO the number of 1,75O,OO0
were deported to Germany. The fu-
ture production of these men was thus
totally lost to their country.

Sion Of Coincidence.

pened to a joyrider IN the outskirts Of
the city last evening. He was bowl
ing along. with a heavy foot on the
gas. when suddenly there was 4 loud
report like that of a French rs and the
fiivver came to a standstill. The chauf-
feur muttered something, then jumped
out to learn which tire had blown out.
Before he had done sc there was .
merry chuckle from the young woman
seated In the automobile She pointed
a finger at a sign on the front of the
building where they had come to a
standstill. Look. Billy" she called

The Unexpected.

An amazing instance Of the unex-
pected happening at the front
ended In a French and a German
pilot landing together. The French
man and the German were circling
and Clipping for battle position.
Suddenly. the French pp,t, think
ing he had the advantage, charged
his enemy from the rear. But the
German did not swerve sufficiently
and the left wing of the French
machine struck the rlght-hand
struts OF the German. The collision
caused the French airplane to spin
around violently until its tail whizzed
between the wings Of the German
and stuck. Apparently being too busy
or perhaps too astonished-to shoot
at each other. the opponents spiraled
side by side In a close embrace, ulti-
mately crashing into the boughs Of
some trees. Neither pilot was hurt,
SO they clambered out. looking at each
other-and the German was reminded
that he was a prisoner.

PUT "BAD LUCK" IN DISCARD
When the Game of Life is Analysed,
There Is No Such Thing to
Be Found.

There is no such thing as "bad
luck" The belief in 1t is a gross u
perstition. 1t is claimed that there is
a lot of luck in poker. My observa-
zion has been that the man who wins
at poker consistently is merely the
best player of poker. There are some
who have a run of luck" But If
the run" lasts three minutes the OPP
posite rum generally lasts equally
long. If the good luck holds up fol a
year. the bad luck appears during the
next year. Any habitual card-pIayer.
unless he is a very poor player or
an unusually good one. will tell you
that his winnings and losses just
about counterbalance.
In poker. as in life, the final deter
mining factor is skill, knowledge of
the game. patience. taking advantage
of opportunities. If you have a pre-
monition that you are going to fall
in an undertaking you are promising
yourself disaster In advance. you are
merely saying to yourself: II know
l ar nOt equal to that. I'll fall down
on It, sure" Dismiss the p~remonition.

Forestry After the War.

Nobody except those of us who have
seen something Of life at the front
during the last four years can realize
what an enormous quantity of timber
has been taken from this country for
war purposes and what an enormous
amount of planting and tending OF
trees will be necessary to replace II.
Unfortunately foresters who really I'M
derstand all that afforestation means
are not numerous In England, and
though the necessity Of educating
youngsters for the work has received
much more serious attention in the
last few years than II ever did before,
when our methods-as In many other
things-were %haphazard, the facilities
are still hardly sufficient to give us
enough foresters to cope with the de-
Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
