the drive were confident yesterday
evening that the $4,000 mark would
be reached by Tuesday.
The work of the government depart

going forward steadily. it is stated,
and will last until the drive ends. AL
though leaders in the teams working
in the bureaus have reported that sue

RED CROSS SAILORS CLUBS.
New Peace Time Activity to Cover
Parts THROUGHOUT World.

A bit of home" will be found in
ports throughout the world by sailors
of the American merchant marine and
Navy as the result of a new peace
time activity announced by the Amer
lean Red Cross. Small clubrooms
built especially for use by American
seamen will be established in nearly
fifty seaports in South and Central
America, the West Indies and the far
east. They will be administered by
the insular and foreign division of the
Red Cross.
The shipping board regards the plan
as a valuable aid to it's efforts to re-
cruit the thousands of sailors required
to man the new American merchant
marine and to improve the class of
American Seamen. There are now
more than $1,000 American merchant
sailors serving in ships flying the
Stars and Stripes.

DEARTH OF DRUNKARDS
CAUSES CAMDEN, N. J.,
WORK HOUSE TO CLOSE.

CAMDEN, N. J., November l.
Camden's municipal workhouse
was closed today by prohibition.
Known as the paper pickery and
famous as an institution for the
utilization of human derelicts,
the workhouse since 1912 has
been operated by habitual drunk
ards committed there by the po-
lice magistrates. Waste paper
gathered by the highway depart
ment has been baled by the priS-
oners and the city has been reap
ing a yearly profit of $4,000 over
the operating expenses and the
cost of boarding the inmates. In
addition all the brooms for the
street sweeping machines and
the hand brooms used by the
white wings were made by the
prisoners at a nominal cost.
"This industry can't operate
without help" said Street Com
missioner Sayre today. as the
last of the baled paper was cart
ed away. The pickery will be used
as a warehouse.

the interest in American Egyptian cot ton and this week there were several samples of this kind of cotton asked for at the same time that samples Of all other types were refused"
 We understand that it is the inten- tion of the directors of the American Egyptian Cotton Exchange, if they se- cure the steadily increasing support of the growers of the valley. to broaden their operations and maintain a field expert, who will investigate cultural conditions with reference to assisting producers to obtain legitimate loans; and that they also propose to establish connections with eastern warehouses, whereby cotton handled through the Exchange may be stored in the east under favorable marketing conditions, and sold at eastern weights.
 This is bound to be of advantage to the growers, as their baled cotton can be carried under eastern storage, in surance and financial conditions at considerably less expense than the present methods of handling.
 We believe that in order to secure the proper backing of this Exchange from all parts of the valley, and a thorough understanding of it's plans, that meetings should be held in the various districts at an early date. at which all cotton growers might have the opportunity of hearing the plans

AMERICAN WORDS

(North American Review,

The American habit of coining new meanings for words already known is closely allied to that of coining words. Take, for example. the current slang use of that much-us word, some" What wealth of meaning and insinu- alton the American has invented for the word,
 Some" as an adverb may be heard in many places. For instance, in the Teign valley district of Devon, the na- tives may say, Tt did rain gum yes- terday." But the American would use the word as an adjective and say, That was some rain yesterday" This use is hard to define. In the middle of the last century some" meaning consid- erable or notable, was called "a modern slang word" Today some" is almost limitless in it's capacity for applica- ton. 1t implies approval, enthusiasm, sarcasm, wonder, admiration, disgust -or amusement.
 The, seeds may have been sown in Cornwall, in Devon or in Lancashire. but 1 seriously doubt if a native of any of these countries would ever say en- Enthusiastically, We had some fun last night" or, sarcastically, This is some book" Another word to which Ameri- cans have given & new meaning is the verb raise" In England, men raise crops; in America, they also raise ohjl- dren.

This amount should be grad ually increased when the cattle have become accustomed to the change until they are consuming from 25 to 30 pounds of the mixture. Then the per centage of meal to the hulls may be in- creased so the cattle will consume about five pounds of the meal or cake per day.
 Altogether it takes about 90 to 120 days to fatten a head of beef, Gin req sonable flesh to begin with) using the cotton seed fodder. In this regard though it should be mentioned that the meal and the hulls should be mixed thoroughly. so that the hull takes up the meal; otherwise the cattle will eat only the meal. of which they become very fond, and bad results will follow. About one ration a week of dry hay should be fed cattle fattening on cotton seed pulp. to regulate digestion. Plenty of salt and water should also be kept in the feeding pens.
 "Durne the last 40 or A days of fattening the amount of meal or cake fed should be increased to from six 10 seven pounds to the individual. Big bulls or unusually heavy stock require from seven to eight and half pounds of the sfeed at this time to thoroughly fatten them.
 This cottonseed fodder in my opin- ion is the best short feed in the world, and l have been feeding cattle for a good many years. Stockmen of the Salt River Valley who wish to use this fodder cannot go wrong in following tthe method have outlined. which we have tried and found satisfactory at our Phoenix feeding pens. The Ma tion's Packing company is practically the only concern or individual here feeding this fodder straight. This is due probably to the fact that the stockmen of this section have had lit- tle experience with it as yet and dis trust it They have been used to de- pending upon alfalfa, dry hay. etc, 10 fatten their cattle and do not know how 10 feed this fodder or they lack faith in it.
 'It is not possible to feed cottonseed fodder all during the year. but one string of beeves can be fattened each season during the cooler months. This is the practice of the Nations Packing company which intends to fatten . herd of beef cattle in Phoenix on the cotton seed fodder every winter for some time to come in the future

Good Work Ot Tempe Cotton Exchange Gan Be Greatly Increased by Extending It to
 Include the Growers of the Entire Valley

We have made careful investiga- tion of the plans Of the American Egyptian Cotton Exchange, with head quarters at Tempe, and have examined the weekly trade letters, which they send out not only to all of their mem bers, but 10 all spinners of long staple cotton, covering the cotton situation in this valley and presenting the most recent information furnished by the government as to the world supply of cotton and the CC iparative quality and value of Arizon; Egyptian cotton. Sea Island cotton and old World Egyptian cotton.
 The statistics gathered by this Ex- change from every cotton growing dis trict in the Southwest furnish a basis of accurate knowledge to all growers. which should be of great value to them In their operations and give the spin ners a definite knowledge of the situa- tion as 10 American Egyptian cotton. which Is bound to strengthen the market for this exceptional high class cotton.
 An instance of the increasing inter- est in the east in our locally grown Pima cotton is shown in the fact that the New York Journal ot Commerce. in its issue of Febvuary To- in speaking Of American Egyptian cotton says: During the past two or three weeks there has been a marked increase in

of this Exchange outlined by its of ficers, and at which members of this committee will be glad to be present, as We are convinced that with a full knowledge of the work that this or ganization is undertaking, there will be a very general support on the part of the growers of the valley.
 A new Exchange has already ac- complished definite results of value to the growers, and the results can be greatly increased in proportion to the backing given.
 We have been further advised by the directors of the Exchange that they welcome membership from every part of the valley, and are prepared to give representation on their board of direc- tors to the various sections of the valley.

EXPERT INFORMATION

(Continued from Page Six) eral information on cotton in the Salt River valley.
 On account of the high value and commercial importance of long staple cotton. the United States department of agricultWf. about eight years ago, began experiments in it's production at the experiment station operated in con junction with the Pima Indian school at Sacaton. near the Salt River Valley. Arizona
 The first year the methods used in growing Up><nd cotton were used, and from a field of 250 pounds of lint to the acre the cotton has been developed 10 a point where a bale, 300 pounds, to the acre is ordinary. Seed selection and changing and improving methods of cultivation have accomplished this splendid result.
 The problems that are presented to the cotton grower are: Cost to pro- duce; soil and climate; labor, and mar kets. The cost of producing has been estimated from actual instances, and is about as follows:
 Cost Per Acre
 Farming operations to time of
 picking (not including rent). .s20. co seed ......-......-.... 200 Picking, cents per pound .-... 50. 40 NliillhS ..'....--.. -.............-. lo.O0 sSS.40
 An easy way to estimate cost per acre is to figure the lint cotton at about l2 cents per pounds. to produce.
 About 1925 pounds of seed cotton are required to make 800 of lint.
 Soil and Climate
 We have shown that this cotton has made wonderful strides since it was introduced eight or 10 ~ears ago, and it is found that the several peculiar conditions needed for its proper growth exist hardly anywhere else on the globe outside of the Salt River Valley, though Of course Egypt raises this type.
 Arizona cotton fields are practically free from pests. Egypt, unfortunately, l is seriously troubled with the pink cot ton boil weevil, and the damage each year is enormous, sometimes amount ing to half the crop. Again, in Egypt the special area that is suited for growing thit cotton is small, and land there sells for $500 to s1,000 an acre. What chance has the grower in Egypt when as good cotton can be grown in Arizona on land at s20e an acre and the Arizona soil produces twice as many pounds to the acre? The depart ment of agriculture states it's prefer ence for the Salt River Valley as the locality best suited, both as to soil and climate for the future source of the long staple cotton supply of the United States.
 Labor
