 In the meantime the Sentinel desires say that this contract for Pima seed is about the most oneded con- tract put in print and the onede all leans toward the Winterhaven Egyptian Cotton Exchange for under it's the cotton grower who wishes to plant Pima seed must mortagage his brthrght before he get single Pima seed Not only that but he only plant the seed such land is selected by the Winterhaven Cotton Exchange, and at all times his cotton field placed absolutely under the control of the Winterhaven exchange If he needs money grub anything else to carry him through the growing he must get it from the Winterhaven change for that holds absolute roncad mort gage on the entire crop.
 He must gin his cotton at gin designated by the Wnterhaven exchange and must sell his seed to that at the price the seed worth the day the cotton

With the regular price now being quoted for Egyptian coton and the onesided contract farmers sign with the Wnterhaven exchange get Pima seed for this years planting pretty safe gamble that the short pie acreage will be largely increased of what was last year. Early in the Egyptian sold here in Yuma for upwards of 70 cents. There is price fixed it, though telephone from Phoenix Monday said it was about 60 cens if you can find buyer It possible that the long staple people cahoots force the farmer sell his cotton about wothirds it's actual value Let hope not.

gnned though that date the seed may not have been worth than $0 per whereas later in the season might be worth S75 per ton The cotton grower gives the Wnerhaven exchange the absolute right take possession of his field and work accordance with the ideas of the Wnerhaven exchange any old price that the exchange may fit charge and all this is to be held out of the proceeds of the sale of cotton and seed
 This paper conceive that the United States gov lending itself any such arrangement though three places in the contract is specifically stated that agricultural department agents shall have the right to supervise the growing crop If any such arrangement has been entered into by the government it be safely stunned that Yuma Valley farmers will stick the short staple" variety.

DRAFTED NEGRO BRUTALLY
'BEATEN BY POLICEMAN

John Sayles, a drafted man.. on his
way to the Elks' banquet, was bru-
tally clubbed by officer l.. l.. Simp-
son, of the South Side Police station.
There was an arrest being made at
18th and Washington Ave. s., and
Sayles, while passing, was ordered to
move on, and while held by one officer
was struck over the head by Simpson
and struck the second time Simpson
called him black son of a b---h, and
claimed he had a razor. He was taken
to the South Side Station and given
no medical attention. Mr.. Thos. Gal
breath reported the occurrence at the
Elks' meeting, and Chairman Smith,
Geo. w. Lunsford, Chas. Kelso and
Thos. Galbreath went to the Central
Station and asked for an investigation
by Capt. Crummy. They then went
to the South Side, and saw Sayles, who
was suffering from the blow. A doc
tor came later and dressed the wound.
Sayles was held for interfering with
an officer while making an arrest. He
was dismissed next morning by Judge
Bardwell. Charges have been placed
before proper authorities and Officer
Simpson will be sued for the results
of his over zealousness in trying to
bring about race riots instead of doing
his duty as policeman. Mr.. Jas.
d. Hardin, detective, was the prin.
cipal witness in behalf of Sayles.
Simpson did not appear at the trial
