Declaring the county agent is the

considering the amount of work he
does, Jonas Cook, property owner
and real estate man issued a state
ment today favoring the retention Of

Mr. Cook was associated for a

secured for this purpose except
through a county agent
The county agent ordered 90 carl
loads of feed which were shipped
here at one-half the regular freight

the Arizona Eastern railroad, has
been appointed chairman of the COM
mittee which Will represent Arizona
IN the nationwide railroad movement
now being perfected by the agricul-
tural section of the United States rail-
road administration, to develop the ag-
Ticultural resources of the United
States along one immense co-ordin-
ate line. This announcement was

clude: H. c. Hallmark, general pass
enger agent of the Arizona Eastern
railroad; DR., R. 4B. Won KleinSmid,

R. Robinson, Arizona state horticul-
tural commissioner
Instead of the hundreds of railroad
systems of the country pulling sep
arately for agricultural development

Mr.. Edwards. under the plan being
worked out, all will pull together.
The country has been divided into
zones, one taking in all stations north
OI the OnlO ana 1OJOIlaC rivers anu
west OF Texas and Oklahoma, the
other including all states to the
south of these boundries.
Each zone is divided into seven dis
tricts with a committee of railroad
traffic and agricultural experts in
charge. Arizona is part of the south
western district of the northern and
western zone. which is under the sup
ervision OF c. L. Seagraves, supervisor
of agriculture of the Santa F'e rail
road. Included with Arizona in this
division are New Mexico, Colorado
and Kansas. A state committee will
operate under Mr.. Seagraves in each
one of the states of the district.
Each committee will cooperate with
the others for the Interchange of data
bearing on settlement, production, ag-
ricultural experimentation, stimulating
new methods, marketing problems and
other similar matters. A homeSeekers
bureau has been established in Wash
ington to receive applications from
prospective settlers and to put them
in touch with the districts in which
they may desire to locate.

der the law controlling dealings in

Immediate and sharp increase in
the exports OF cotton from this coun-
irv was viewed by southern senators
and representative as a certainty
All regulations affecting such exports
already had been removed and the
high freight rates were regarded as
the only barrier between European
needs and the American supply No
cotton will be permitted to go to
enemy countries, however. until the
matter of the economic blockade of
these countries has been determined
ut the peace conference.
The new rates from south Atlantic

RED CROSS SISTERS
LEAP INTO OCEAN
CBy Review Leased wire)

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Any doubt as
to the double suicide of the Misses
Dorothea and Gladys Cromwell, twins,
prominent in New York society, who
had been serving in France with the
American Red Cross, was removed to-
day on the arrival here of the French
line steamship La Lorraine
Passengers aboard the liner con-
firmed cable reports from Bordeaux
that the girls had jumped TO their
death from the liners rail while she
was passing out of the mouth of the
Caronne river on January 19 They
were seen to take the leap by an
American soldier on sentry duty who
gave the alarm. Passengers said it
was nearly 10 minutes before the ship
could be stopped and then efforts to
recover the bodies failed.
The girls left four notes in their
state ROOM One was addressed to
Maj. James c. Sherman of Chicago, in
charge of the contingent OF Red Cross
workers returning on the ship, another
to Seymour Cromwell of this city, the
girls brother, the third to his wife,
anu LAC AOul " d NOuldu lI1SuQ Ol
the girls.
The notes were not made public but
after they had been delivered to the
girls brother by Major Sherman, Mr..
Cromwell stated that "the contents
show both were physically and men,
tally broken down"
Airs. Edward Sherazon, a member of
the committee for the relief of father
less children of France, a passenger on
La Lorraine. expressed the following
opinion on the general subject of the
return Of American women war work
ers now in France:
'sIt is my belief that all American
women should come home as soon as
possible. Conditions are such that they
can be released, and all, especially the
young women, should be brought back
Their work finished, they are tired
and nervous"
