COTTON GROWERS ARE
SLOW To SEND IN DATA
FOR GOVERNMENT USE

QueStionnaireS that nave to do with
the cotton situation in the Salt River
valley, recently mailed to every grower,
with the earnest request that immedi
ate response be given, are arriving at
the Maricopa Farm bureau in large
numbers, but not nearly fast enough,
according to Chairman Frank H. Park
er, TO secure the valuable data that is
to be presented to the United States
government.
IF we are to familiarize the United
States with what we produce here in
the way of cotton" said Mr.. Parker
yesterday, those growers who have
not returned their questionnaires
should do so at once. 1t is imperative,
if we expect to arrive at any reliable
basis for loans and other national aid"
The blanks sent out several days ago
cover the situation outlined by the gov
eminent to the farm officials, includ-
| ing such statistics as cost of production,
in which all items are segregated; es-
timated yield: total pickings to date:
amount ginned; financial assistance
required, if any; ownership of the CROP
amount borrowed; whether immediate
sale is desired, and the amount; how
many bales are to be held.
When all the questionnaires have
been received, the figures for the val
ley will be compiled, so far as the pres
ent crop and its prospects are con-
| cerned. These figures will enable the
committee, recently appointed to i'm
| prove the cotton situation, to formulate
/ reports, requests for aid and a substan-
4 tial basis upon which to develop east
| ern and foreign markets

The Glossy is any person who is just
little more refined than is really nee
essary. The Glossies derive their name
from the fact that their manners,
morals, speech, shoes and finger nails
are all little too polished. They ven
ture just step further along the mar
row path of etiquette; they are just a
trifle more punctilious than anyone
really has to be. They are full of su-
perfluous little niceties-little elegan-
cies of dress and manner and inter-
course that separate them from the
common herd. They are more than re-
fined-oh, much more. They are gem
teel
According to this authority the
Glossy has the further distinction of
never speaking of men, women, bed,
rick. work, legs" but always of ladies,
gentlemen, retiring, well-to-do. bust

an occasion just degree more formal

of broad" plays and books and also

his acquaintance will work with truly
praiseworthy energy to spread the

SAVE CHA PRODUCE
BY UNITED EFFORT

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-Surplus
products valued at 1890, which
were grown on small garden plots in
ella county, Arizona, were saved
through the cooperation of the home
demonstration agent and the county
agricultural agent, according to a re-
port of the United States department
of agriculture received here
A cooperative marketing store was
established near the gardens on the
edge of town on the. main-tra vcled
road, said the report. A community
canning kitchen was also operated
under the supervision of the home
demonstration agent, no charge being
made to the cooperating gardeners
who wished to make use of it. This
plan also presented an opportunity for
teaching the most approved and eco
nomical methods of canning and dry

MANY SUPERFLUITIES

The success of the inventor of the

When n community does well in one line

All of the war work is important. All of
the various efforts must go forward. 1t is n

THE CASE OF DUPREE.

1t makes no difference whether Mr.. &.
+. Duprce in March or April ordered the
forty sacks of flour that were withheld from
delivery here last Thursday, or whether nc
ordered them when he wrote to the Juntura
Mercantile company Saturday or Monday a
week ago. If Mr.. Dupree is good patrio-
tic citizen he will see that by observing the
wheatless days and by mixing substitutes
with his wheat flour that forty sacks is
more than any man who is only feeding fif-
teen persons should have.
AS matter of fact by observing the
spirit of the food orders that forty sacks of
flour would last fifteen people more than n
year. No man, who wants America to win
this war, and who. if he is intelligent and not
n selfish cad, wants n years supply of wheat
flour on hand when by doing 50 he may be

SENATORIAL CRITICS.

Back i'm Washington the principal ac-
tivity seems to be that of th6critic Hardly
a day passes without the most violent out
burst of scathing denunciation of the lack Of
adequate plans and lack of coordination be-
tween the various departments conducting
the war.
As in the beginning. so the critics CON
tinue to aim their artillery at Secretary Of
War Newton G. Baker For the time-being
at least Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels is gaining a respite while his col
league is the target.
In all this it must first be noted that the
most violent and the most caustic indict-
ments of the administration officials have
been drawn bv democrats, Senators Cham
berlain and Hitchcock. Similar charges
have also been made by other democrats,
both in public and private life OF course,
there are those who declare that this makes
the criticism more damning.
That is not, necessarily, the ease for the
credcncc which may be given a critic of the
administration is not to he measured by his
political affiliation. A minority party mem

viewed entirely aside from its political bear
ing. The controversy has apparently re-
solved itself into question of whether or
not Secretary Baker is right temperament
ally to he Secretary of War Everyone who
has spoken appears to recognize IN him Il
man of ability, but not the kind of ability re-
quircd for the position he holds
There has been n marked absence of u
free consultation between the administra-
tion and the Republican leaders, in spite OF
tho fact that the Republicans have uniform
~ sustained the President in majority Of
the war measures While urging the elm
nation of agitation and politics at this time,
the administration itself has seldom seen tit
to recognize the fact that others than party
followers exist This fact was called to the
of the public by eX-Secretary of
War Lindlcy l.. Garrison, who left the cab
met because he was not in accord with the
pre-war policy.
The public generally wants to believe
that Secretary of War Baker is correct IN
his statements concerning the adequacy of
the preparations that have been made. The
public wants the administration 10 vindicatc
itself. therefore, in spite of the criticisms NJ
Baker and Hitchcock, the public will wait
for further evidence before utterly con
dcmnng Secretary Baker In the mean
time the public hopes that the critics will
succeed in keeping the department ON it's
toes To prevent further criticism.
