will always be affected by the supply and demand of other cottons of sim liar quality and of the near quality staples which can be substituted In the manufacture of tires the test of an honest product always must be the cost per mile. Therefore, the local cot ton. no matter what it's quality, can never permanently command a margin over the market of other staples which would be beyond it's value as measured by the cost per principle, Arizona Pima or any other staple of superior quality will command a top price.
 We are now having applications for loans from growers. Personally, I am especially pleased to notice that most of these applicants are profiting by their past experience and have decided to select those lands, or those parts of their ranches, which from theory and practice offer the best opportun- ity for a high yield. This valley is ideally constituted for cattle, hogs and the agricultural products necessary to sustain them and the culture of su- perior cotton. When we lose sight of the value of these various industries and the ability of this valley to sustain them. then we jeopardize not only the future of each industry but also the permanent prosperity of the entire val ley Naturally this company is not especially interested in hogs, cattle and alfalfa but we are interested in seeing the valley, as a whole. pros porous and we believe our special in terest in cotton will be on a more per- manent basis and the growers, gen. orally. will be more prosperous year in and year out if they make a careful selection of their acreage, measure it's adaptability to the respective crops and then farm accordingly. I believe the tendency this year is in this direc- tiOn and it is most hopeful sign.
 "This valley then is peculiarly fav- pred for the production of certain crops. Such being the case, it is cer- tainly our own fault if we do not in . telligently take advantage of the op- portunities which Nature has given to us.'

duct In other words, the home factory wants what it wants when it wants it. If, therefore, the Akron factory can successfully meet the tests of com petitive efficiency, now so keen in all factories, then these subsidiary com panies, if they accomplish their pur- pose, tend to increase that efficiency and the ultimate result to the consum- CT Of higher class product at a de- creased price.
 After very exhaustive tests we came to the conclusion that the AE- zona Pima cotton made the best tire fabric of any other cotton that could be secured in the world. We have backed up that opinion not only by in vestments here but by consistently paying a price for this cotton consid Q erably in excess of the price of Egyp- tian's or Sea Islands delivered at Bos- ton. This year we will probably have purchased 10000 bales, or about two- thirds of the Salt River Valley crop This purchase will amount to over S6,000,000 for the present season and means that for many weeks this com pany has paid out about $100000 per day 10 the growers of this valley.
 The construction of cord tires es- pecially demands high class cotton Tho fabric is made of many small cords. ordinarily about the size of the common wrapping twine. These are laid in the fabric diagonally and one ply built up on top of the other, the number of plies depending upon the size of the tire. Therefore, instead oi a back and forth movement at right angles, such as obtains in the or dinary fabric tire under pressure, tho cord fabric has a rolling or diagonal movement which resists friction and obviates constant strain on any one point Naturally, unless this construc- ition is of the highest grade material much of the mechanical advantage vii be lost. Therefore. the cotton that goes into these cord tires is selected for it's strength and pliability. Arizo. na Pima has met these tests better than any other cotton.
 There is no question about the higf quality of this cotton-absolutely none. There still is a question as tC whether or not the industry here can compete successfully with other sOurc- es rf production which furnish a grad, of cotton of a quality similar or equa to the Pima. Though the Sea Island district seems 10 be in a bad way, ye Egypt and Peru will always be a com. petitive factor. In addition 10 these cottons. the market is affected by Pea Ter. Bender and Mississippi Delts staples, all of which are not as higl grade but nevertheless make very gooC fabric. Therefore, the local marke

 Hiram Shouse. the state cotton champion, will receive a gold medal. .
 Duncan Brown will receive a silver medal for winning second place Tn cotton raising in Arizona.
 Every one of these prizes means great deal to each boy or girl who won it. because it stands to that boy or girl for something practical actually achieved They have won their prizes in keen competition with boys and girls in all parts of Arizona They fol- lowed the instructions sent them two or three times each month by their club leaders, or given them at the time when these club leaders have made personal visits to their homes to in spect their projects. The prizes awarded mean that each recipient has turned in carefully and accurately kept record, showing expenses and net profits in every case.
 Other club winners are:
 August Ayrand of Phoenix Rural Route No ?, winner of first prize in the Corn club. Ayrand, who is but II years of age raised 1,f00 pounds of corn on one acre at a costof $12.60 and profit of S107.40. 1 Gleeson Northcross of Phoenix Rural Route No ., a 12-year- old boy, won | first prize in the Poultry club. Glee- son is a member of the Roosevelt dis trict boys and girls club. He kept a. record on 25 chicks for 90days and | found that it cost him s3.63 to raise them, and his profit was $17.40. Ottie Winn won third prize in the sewing club. Ottie lives on Phoenix Rural Route No. 6 and is r years old. l She was in the sewing club work for 1S0 days during 1918, and in that time she made six garments at a cost of l s6.40 and with a profit of s3.60.

MAR|NETTE A COMING VALLEY DISTRICT IN. .L0NG STAPLE COTTON

One of the small but progressive districts which is bound to succeed in the cotton game Is Marinette of which great things may be expected in the near future.
 Cotton was first grown at Marinette in 1915 when an experimental plot Of five acres was planted. Even from the lrst. however, unusual success at tended the growing of cotton in this district, for the first crop yielded four and one fourth bales, a fractian less than an average of a bale to the acre. Next year 400 acres were planted to short staple cotton but the venture was unsatisfactory, at least compared with the long staple.
 The following year. 1917. saw 900 acres Of the Yuma Variety of long staple cotton grown, and last year, 1918, 2,000 acres of Pima were grown and harvested. bringing an income of S3O0,000 to the district
 For the coming season, 9,S00 acres of land are being prepared for the plant ing of Pima, and plans are being made for an independent gin to be erected in this district to care for the ginning of

this record he picked a total of 674 pounds and covered sixteen rows daily across a 10-acre field
 The best part about this picking was that the cotton was all clean and free from leaves and other rubbish. which is so essential in the case of the long staple cotton, as no efficient cleaning device for this length staple has as yet been devised. Another feature of the picking was that it was bottom crop and necessitated much stopping, as Mr. Eaton is around six feet tall In speaking of his cotton picking, MT Eaton said:
 While it is true that I picked cotton before. 1t nevertheless was short sta pie, which must be picked radically different from the long staple. and it was 15 years since l touched even that. The chief difference in picking short and long staple is that you must pick the Egyptian while you gather the southern cotton, because so much of it falls on the ground
 There is a knaclI about picking this Egyptian cotton, but when you once get accustomed to it the rest is easy. In order to pick it clean, I grab the cotton in the center without touching the leaves, and it comes away easily. You will find that where cotton is ir- rigated and the climate is dry, as it is here, that the bolls come away nicely, whereas in rainy country the mois- ture glues the cotton and makes it stick.
 Instead of fastening the sack over the shoulder I tie it around my, waist with the opening at my side and slight ly to the rear. In this way it gives me the free use of both my hands and prevents my one shoulder from re- maining inactive. When l am picking pull the weight of the sack a little forward and that takes the load off my body to the ground. where it be- longs"

EASY AND QUICK ID EARN GOOD WAGES
 PICKING COTTON

It is a common fallacy to believe that inexperienced cotton picllers can not make a good living picking cotton. Within a week or two any individual can become proficient enough in pick ing cotton to earn more than three dollars a day, and with added practice he should become more proficient right along.
 Typical of what can be done in pick ing cotton, and not an unusual in- stance at that. is the case of a MeXi can with a family of a wife and three small children who last year came from Mexico and began picking cotton for MT. North. who has extensive cotton holdings south of Phoenix. Previous to this the Mexican had absolutely no experience in picking cotton, yet he was most successful at it. During the entire picking season the family sub sisted on the best of foods (Mr. North knows, for they traded at his grocery store on Fourth and Van Buren streets) and yet at the end of the picking sea- son this man took his family back to Mexico with s250 in his pocket, having come here with practically nothing.
 This is by no means an isolated or exceptional case. There are many NdStS Oll ittOIQ MDtIt Uldn DeEdn picking cotton, saved his money, bought land. put it into cotton and is now a property holder and an exten- sive cotton grower. What has been done can be done again-it needs only the trial.
 A. P. Eaton. picking cotton in the Chandler district, picked 1873 pounds of cotton in a week, or an average of a trifle under 279 pounds of seed cotton daily per 10-hour day. At three cents per pound, the current price for pick ing, this would make a daily wage of $S.37
 In making the test. Mir. Eaton picked 252 pounds the first day. 20 pounds the second day. 2S0 pounds the third day, PFC pounds the fourth day, 300 pounds the fifth day and 295 pounds the sixth day. In three days prior tc

 That the high grade Pima cotton rrovn in this valley. is in the judg- mcnt of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company. the best cotton in the world for automobile tire fabric is merely a reiteration of statement made many times and the truth of which is borne out by the large investments of the Southwest Cotton company in this valley.
 "'rhere are probably still many men here who believe that the main reason that Goodyear came to Arizona was Co make money out of cotton growing. While it Is quite true that neither we nor any other institution that wishes permanently to stay in business con- templates sustaining a loss by its op- eations, vet the subject of money making out of the industry at this end nt the line is. and always has been. a secondary basis of our policy. The primary purpose is that Goodyear shall secure 8 certainty of supply of the highest grade raw material that can be secured in the world to the end that VIC may Incorporate same, with other raw materials of similar grade, into
 
 fracture at the Akron plant. To ac- complish this purpose 1t seemed nec- cssary and advisable to us that we pako large investments in this valley as cotton producers, ginners and in loans to growers. The investments We have made arc the best guarantee we can offer to the growers and business luen Of Arizona that we have faith in the future of this industry. As a mat ter of common sense economies, our policies must be broad and general iu their scope and SO formulated and executed as to work to the welfare of the entire industry. Irrespective of Inc morals of business. were we to adopt a lesser policy eventually we would defeat our own ends.
 That the Goodyear company is doing here what it is doing in other lmrts Of tho world Is evident from the fact that it owns several coal mines. operates ono of the highest class spin ming mills in the United States. has a rubber plantation of 25.000 acres in the Sumatra islands. and in various other ways has taken an interest in the pro auction Of the raw materials which are necessary Co large factory.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and At
tractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, inn
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.-Adv.

What Is the Cause of
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment from which women suf-
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from it. Sometimes the cause is OBJ
scure, but DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. z.
a high medical authority, says the
cause is very often form of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
of the feminine organs. When thess
organs are inAamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness, un-
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain
full periods, irritation, headache and
q general rundown condition. Ang
woman in this condition is to be oit-
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and
distinct medicine for women.
It is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol OF opiate of any kind, for
DR.. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is nat
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
purpose. Thousands of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to DIR. Pierce
saying it made them well. In taking
Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause Of
the trouble. There is but one way to
overcome sickness, and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor
ite Prescription is intended to do.

The Nadir of Brutality.

Amongst the revelations of German
brutality and foulness which we are
hearing from returned prisoners one
stands out for its characteristic mean
ness and cunning. Many men were re-
ported as being confined in certain
camps who had never been near those
camps, if, indeed, they existed at all.
and the parcels sent to them from
home to those addresses were stolen
by the authorities. One of these re-
turned prisoners, says a correspondent.
has never been in Germany at all, al
though his address was Friedrichsfeld.
He was employed behind the German
lines In France until November Vi,
when he was turned loose with the
rest. German mentality cannot be nm
derstood by anyone but a German. It
has no redeeming sense of deeeBcy.-
