Announcement

The Arizona Egyptian Cotton Company is operating sixteen ginning machines. During the season these machines will gin 5000 bales of cotton, In this valley there are now installed and in the course of installa- ton machines which have a ] ginning capacity of 5O,OOO ! bales. The estimated crop of ! the valley is from 30,OO0 to l 35,0OO bales. Ample ginning capacity to handle the crop is available. Temporarily, and until all machines are in oper- ation there is a shortage of
 ginning and storage. capacity.
 This situation should soon be
 relieved without loss to the
 growers.
 Itis obvious that our company,
 operating sixteen stands, can
 not gin all of the cotton grown. We have prepared our plant to handle the cotton of our customers with whom we have established business relations and we feel that we are under a moral obliga-
 ton to do so. Until we can care for all receipts without great delay we believe we should give customers preference in ginning.
 We will therefore give to GUS toners wagons a separate
 series of numbers and first considera- ton We will handle cotton from others to the extent of our unused
 capacity subject to preference of GUS toner's cotton.
 After Monday, October l 2lst, we will not receive
 wagons loaded with cot ton in our yards to be
 held over night unless the cotton is covered with
 a proper canvas sheet to |

REPUBLICAN,
BOARD HAS EXAMINED MORE THAN 5,400 MEN
 IF SEPT. F DRAFT

The local board has completed it's task of classifying over 5,400 men Of the September F draft ranging in ages rom l9 to 36, inclusive, and will start mailing questionnaires about NoVem Der l. to all those remaining of the 10, 900 men registered in Maricopa county on that day. Secretary Martin F. Wey ant announced yesterday. The re- mainder of the list are men ranging in ages from B to 45 years.
 About 50 men were physically exam ined last night. These were largely men inducted from the boards lists by the United States marine corps, the remainder being men of Class ! trans ferred to this board wanted for imme- diate service.
 The board of examining physicians will resume next Monday night the eX- animation of men between the ages of l9 and 56, inclusive, of the September l2 draft. This work was halte. last week because the local board did not have enough men classified. This classification being now complete, the physicians will continue every night until about TOO men have been exam ined, making about 1,500 in all. Out of the 1,500 examined the board expects to get 1000 physically fit men.
 Volunteer clerks are needed at the local board, both men and women. The board suggests that now that there is no school that the services of boys and girls from the high school would be appreciated The work is simple and nobody is asked to work moment longer than desired There is no pay attached to this volunteer service, it being considered a duty that all, who are able to de clerical work, owes the government.
 Those wishing to help the board, which is simply loaded down with work, should see in person Martin T. Neyant the secretary. at the local board headquarters, under the bank, First avenue and West Washington street

Wants S-HOUR DAY
FOR u. S. EMPLOYEES
Representative Borland Says Work
ers' Hours Should Be Lengthened.

Increase OF one hour each working
day for Government clerks as a return
for q percentage increase in their sal
aries was ADVOCATED on the floor of the
House yesterday by Representative
Borland of Missouri. Representative
Borland grew bitter over the present
seven-hour day of the "pampered dar-
lings of Uncle Sam"
During the course of his argument
Representative Borland said stenog-
raphers are being brought here and
employed at work which could be done
by an office boy.
'Tf the government needs stenog-
raphers," he continued, they can have
all that they need. hut they should be
doing stenographer work. think that
the surplus number of clerks in one
department should be released to other
departments where they are needed"
Facts were presented by Represen-
tative Borland to show that there are
now more than 1000 Federal clerks in
Washington and that the government
has employed more than 1900 addi-
tionaI workers. If the change Is made,
he pointed out, from a seven-hour to
an eight-hour day at least 1000 of these
would be released. His criticisms were
directed principally at the Interior De-
partment, where, he said, the employees
are sheltered" from war hardships.

Members insisted that a Transports

There was much speech-making.

a resolution questioning the legality
of the order. but did not press for its

PLAN OF uncle sam
c. j. Blanchard Explains Object of
y Western Reclamation Work.

What are the men going to ind
when they come back home from
over thereT Will they have to
fight for a job when they come
home again? It's been the history
of every great war that ideals are
changed, and those who went away
want something different when
they get baek."
These were questions put by c.
]. Blanchard, chief statistician for
the United States Reclamation Ser
wee. before a large audience yes
terday afternoon in the auditorium
or the New Masonic Temple under
the auspices of the Geographic So
ciety.
The speaker suggested a solution
-of economic problems by showing
what the Reclamation Service has
already accomplished and is stilI
doing in the way of making the
deserts blossom.
1t was the purpose of the gov
ernment to make these lands, here
tofore considered arid and waste,
attractive to home-seekers by pro-
cess of irrigation projects, said the
speaker.
In order to develop irrigation pro-
jects. it takes thousands Of men.
Immediately after this work is COM
pleted, opportunities are offered home-
seekers, and. in the opinion Of Mr..
blanchard, nothing could be more
appropriate than to give our soldiers
"a chance when they return from the
war.

with lantern slides and moving pic
lures showing the great ARROW

velt," and other dams Of the West
