COT TON RAISED
IN VALLEY WILL
GET WAR TRYOUT

A private telegram yesterday from
Mr.. Dwight b. Heard who went to
Washington two weeks ago as a mem
Der of the committee appointed by the
American National Livestock associa-
ton, at its convention at Salt Lake
to present to the president resolutions
adopted by the convention relative to
food conservation and the livestock in
dustry, stated that the cotton of this
valley is to be given "a chance in war
work
Mr.. Heard had been assured by
Howard F. Coffin of the Council OF
National Defenes in charge of the de-
partment of munitions, manufacturing,
including standardization and indus
trial relations, that the cotton of this
valley will be given a test lin actual
flying use reference no doubt being
to the use of the cotton in aeroplane
wings. The wings of most of the ma
chimes now in use are made of silk,
combining strength and lightness. En-
periments had shown that the earlier
wings of ordinary, short staple cotton
were not strong enough for all the
tests to which aeroplanes were sub
jected.
One of the claims made for the long
staple cotton was that it would have
sufficient strength for aeroplane wings
and would add greatly to the strength
and life of automobile castings. The
latter claim has been recognized. These
claims were made before the develop
ment of the present Pima variety of
cotton which is of stronger fiber and
of greater textile strength even than
the Yuma, Sea Island or any grade of
Egyptian cotton.
The committee of which Mr.. Heard
is a member will remain in Washing
ton until the middle of this week for a
further conference with Secretary
Houston of the department of agricul-
ture on the beef production problem.
There will also be a further conference
with the food administration on the
! beef situation and meeting with the
president on the same subject has
| been arranged for today.

HONORED
Difdent Boys Congratulate
ed by Military Affairs
Committeeman.

Pershing's men have not yet be-
come accustomed to their role Of pet
ted darlings.
It was rather a diffident lot Of men
who were received by the Military
Affairs Committee Of the Senate in
the Senate Office Building yesterday
afternoon. This was considered q sig
nal honor as few have ever been re-
ceived thus. at the Capitol. Senators
Fletcher, Thomas. Beckham. Nickel
lar, Weeks, Wadsworth, Southland
and New Of the Military Affairs
Committee were present.
Shortly after Q o'clock the boys
filed into the receiving room and
shook hands with each Of the Sena-
tors. Then ensued many questions
concerning the personal experiences
OF each. The boys were rather re-
luctant to admit they had performed
wonderful deeds.
Crosses Of honor were examined.
cigars were passed around. backs
were paternally patted-and the re-
ception was over.
Concerning the boys, Senator Dun
can U. Fletcher said:
IT was impressed with their stur-
diness and healthy appearance. A fine
looking lot Of boys they are with evil
dent qualities of courage and deter
mination. ! examined all the crosses
of honor and found the possessors
unusually modest. They represent the
best in our army"
Senator Fletcher voiced a plea that
the boys have cherished but held
back-that they be given leave to visit
their homes.
Their families would indeed be
pround to have them home for a
time and think they should be given
leave, for I am sure they are anx-
ious to visit their homes" said Sena-
tor Fletcher.
