In the general discussion that ensued a number of cotton growers expressed varying oI-a- ions, the gist of which eemed to be that they did not desire to put the oil mill men in the position of losing money, and certainly did not desire to continue deadlock that held up the whole cot ton situation.
 Several cattlemen spoke. among them John R. Norton and Levi Young both of whom expressed the desire that the matter be settled so that the cot ton and cattle industries might both he given the best possible chance in prices.

 Among The many things brought out nt tho hearing was the fact. a surprise Co majority of the people, that the Phoenix street Railway company, in- stead ol being operated at a loss, made not revenue last year of more than f-2 GOO. and this in the face of greatly Increased cost Of materials and labor. Likewise thc company made a profit Inc previous year. although about half 1s much.
 The principal testimony was given hr $. H. Mitchell, general manager of Che street railway company.

EASY FUR THIEVES
 ID STEAL COTTON

A farmer by the name of Zeller liv- ing southeast of the city, complained at the sheriffs office yesterday morn ing that cotton picking sacks contain ing 261 pounds of cotton was stolen from wagon in the road near his place the night before. Deputy Sheriff k. J. Warren went out and found the track of the thiefs wagon and followed it until it was obliterated in a maze of other tracks.
 The suggestion is made by the sheriffs office that greater care be taken by cotton owners of their prop erty. One driving along a country road almost in any direction may find a load or cotton standing by the roadside overnight. It is treated as if it were hay, whereas, with cotton at the pres ent price, one might almost as well leave a load of greenbacks so exposed to theft.

We have all seen the results of the subtle workings of the German propaganda, how, by the use of pamphlets and the distortion of news in the papers, mass thought has been swsyed, and its evil infu- enee result in action. The action, in the case of the German propa- ssfds, has been extremely dan rsreus in countries where its distri- eutlSn was not eombsted.
 On the other hand, where the props. asnda Is of constructive and ben efieial character the resultant ae- tien works to good. Advertising, like any propaganda, is directed at
 mass thought. It has led to mass buying, and in the case of the den- tist, it brings hundreds of people into the dentists office. In so do- ing t has real ethical value, inas-
 much as good teeth tends to high CT standard of living. CAN THE ETHICAL VALUE OF GOOD AD- VERTlSlNG BE COMPARED WITH THE ETHICAL VALUE OF ADVERTISING PREJUDICE?
 My advertising is aimed at eonvinc- ing the public that people can ob- tain the better dentistry for less money in an advertising office. My office is thoroughly equipped; l employ the best operators, and have two dental nurses in attendance.

"KA|SER'S SHADOW"
 AT STRAND THEATRE

When an American inventor of q Tray rifle." which his government has accepted. discovers that his plans have been stolen by German spies while he is on his honeymoon, something is bound to happen, as is abundantly proved by Dorothy Dalton, the popu- lar Thomas H. Ince star, in a new Paramount picture, '"The Kaiser $ Shadow" which is being exhibited at the Strand today and Saturday.
 The story of this thrilling photoplay deals with the operations of German spies in large American city, ard with United Secret Service agents who are committed to the arduous task cl stamping out the menace of German propa ganda in this country. The pho toplay Is deeply mysterious in its de- ve]opment, and the puzzle is not ur- roveled until the final scene. It Is be- cause of this that only a fragment of the plot should in justice be divulged, as full knowledge of the denouement of the story might spoil the pleasuie of those attending.

Personnel of Auxiliary Remount Depot 3O9
 Explained by Member

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In the article appearing in your paper this morning relative to the auxiliary remount depot 309 at Camp Mcclellan, an outsider would be led to think this depot to be a rendezvous for cripples and men physically below the military standard. This is not the true condition of the enlisted personnel of this depot.
 The auxiliary remount depot 309 was. by orders of the commanding general or the Twenty ninth division, filled up with members of the Fifty-fourth depot brigade. The noncommissioned officers and men transferred here by division order were soldiers who had passed all physical requirements of the army ex- aming physicians; they were ordered here. Tn that they were needed to fill the deficiency in members required to comply with army specifications as to remount depots, which arm of the service is essential, as an auxiliary to all large military units. This depot as 1t now stands is composed or an enlisted personnel. physically fitted not only to go overseas, but also fully able to meet all requirements that might be exacted of real men.
 The personnel of the auxiliary re- mount depot 30S. is composed of Vir- ginia, Maryland and New Jersey nation al guardsmen, Virginia having the larg est representation, 95 per cent of the noncommissioned officers are from Vir- ginia. Maryland is next in numbers. New Jersey having the smallest representa- tion, both in noncommissioned officers and men.
 The casuals you mentioned were do- nestle service men who are attached here temporarily, pending the assign ment of some men to fill up the numbers now necessary for the work done here, and these attached men are not mem bers of this post. nor are they repre- sentative of the physical makeup of the men on the membership roster of this depot.
 Kindly publish this letter. as it is due both the soldiers at this post and their relatives and friends that the im- pression this mornings article made should be corrected. Very truly,

 (Note: This is the fifth of a series of seven articles which MT. Corbett is writ ing concerning the career of the late Stanley Ketchel, one of the most marvel ous ring warriors of all time. The next installment will appear tomorrow)
 On February P, 1908, Stanley Ketchel took on Mike (Twin) Sullivan in Colna, Cal, and startled fandom by knocking out the great warrior in less than ons round. About three months later Ketchel fought his brother, Jack (Twin) Sullivan in the same town. Jack put up much stiffer battle than had Mike, but he, too, had to bow to the mighty Ketchel, taking the full count in the eleventh round.
 It was then that Stanley Ketchel laid claim to the title as middleweight cham pion of the world. And the public was quick to recognize him as such. The easy manner in which he had disposed of his foemen convinced them that he was worthy to wear the crown that had graced the heads of Jack Dempsey and Bob Fitzsimmons.
 At that time there was no recognized middleweight champion, and there hadn't been for nearly 12 years. Fitz was the last of the undisputed champions, follow ing his triumph over Dempsey Whel, Bob went into the heavyweight ranks he vacated the title. About that time, 1897, Kid Mccoy made the claim as Bob's suc- cessor. So did Jack OBrien. But neither established a clear title. Through ths years that followed many great men had battled in the 16S-pound division. But none was great enough-until Ketchel came-to cause the public to acclaim him truly great.
 The first battle which Ketchel fought in defense Of his title was in Milwaukee on June 4 1908, against Billy Papke, who had established quite reputation. Ketchel proved to be Papkes master II, that contest, winning the decision in It rounds.
 A trifle more than month Yater Ketchel knocked out Hugo Kelly anothe rugged battler, in three rounds, and then on August 1S, gave Joe Thomas another chance. It required less than five minutes for Ketchel to knock out his an- cient enemy.
 Then PaIke clamored for another match Ketchel wave it to him on Sep tember 8. 1908, in Los Angeles. It was figured tha. Ketchel would be an easy winner. But Papke surprised the sport ing world by knocking out Ketchel in the Twelfth round. The finish of the bout came just at a time when Ketchel was leading by the proverbial mile on points. and when everyone expected to sec ketchel send Papke into oblivion.
 Many who saw the contest insisted that Papke's victory was due to lucky punch. But Papke thought differently. He figured he was Ketchels master and that he could duplicate the trick when- ever he tried. Papke had in mind, per
