HOW THE COTTON |S
 FREED FROM SEED
 0N TRIP THROUGH GIN

The gins cf the Salt River Valley are electrically operated and equipped with the latest improved type of ma chimes throughout Each unit consists of a gin building proper. seed house, seed cotton storage houses, office and bale yard.
 Deliveries of seed cotton are made almost exclusively by wagon, the loads ranging from about one to five bales of loose cotton. On arrival at the gin the load is first weighed on govern ment tested scales, then it proceeds to the suction pipe attached to seed cotton storehouse which quickly un- loads the wagon by suction into a bin. These storehouses are octagonal in shape and consist of some fifteen bins, each bin having practical capacity of 5000 pounds of seed cotton or about four bales of lint Great precautions gre taken against fire in these store houses the ones erected lately being made of hollow tile, plastered inside and out with a fire-retardant, while the older wooden ones have bee-l painted with a fire-retarding paint.
 From the storehouses the cotton is moved by suction into the gin where it is dropped into the feeder cleaners directly above the gin stands. These feeders deposit the seed cotton on grid parallel wrrn the walrus roll. These rolls comprising the most es- sential feature of the gin are covered with walrus leather which has a great CT propensity for pulling the lint from Al, .f ering yet devised. immediately in front of each walrus roll in horizontal align ment herewith are two knives; one stationary and one moveable. The moving knife. also known as the strip per-" gets it's stroke through the pro- pulsion of a crank shaft and at the up- per end of the stroke overlapS the stationary knife while at the lower end the front side of the walrus leather roll is exposed to the mass of seed cotton resting on the grid. A pusher board working in conjunction with the
 knife and roll forces the seed cotton against the latter which in it's rotary motion pulls the line from the seed. The seed, freed of lint, drops through
 the open-t tined grid onto an auger con-
 veyor and is thereby conveyed from
 the gin to a seed house. The lint IS
 brushed from the roll on the opposite ] side from the knives and it. there falls on hardwood floor along which it is | pushed to a press box. Here it is con- | densed into a compact bale, covered with sacking and fastened with metal | ties
 The bales are then numbered and are l then put into the bale yard where they
 are ready for market or storage as the
 case may be.

output for the last two years, using large quantities of Arizona cotton in the manufacture of it's ''Star Brand" thread In addition to this, the com . pany will also produce approximately 3,200 tons of Kapco cake this season as well as some 175,000 gallons of cotton seed oil
 With greatly increased acreage in prospect for next season, the Arizona Egyptian Cotton Co. is already ar ranging to enlarge it's plant and ex- tend it's buying stations to all sections of the valley. The Phoenix plant will be greatly enlarged and both it's gin ming capacity and oil mill facilities will be doubled. This will make it possible to gin over 100 bales of cot ton a day or 15,000 bales in a season and to crush the seed from all the seed cotton handled. Branch offices of the company, at which will be located buy ing stations equipped with seed cotton storehouses and scales. will be estab- lished at Mesa, Gilbert. Chandler Glendale, Peoria. Cashion, Buckeye and Laveen. Here the grower can bring his cotton and sell it direct to the com pany as it is picked, inste"d of being put to the trouble of storing it or haul ing a long distance in the midst of the picking season.

USE KNIFE GIN HERE

The gin that is used on the Salt River Valley cotton is the roller or knife gin. These machines are made in England and are similar to those used in Egypt and the Sea Island cot ton country of the Atlantic coast
 As compared to the saw gins used in the short staple countries. the knife gins are much slower in their opera tions but they do not injure the lint The Arizona Egyptian long staple cot ton requires the most careful ginning and the knife gin has proved the safest and most economical in the long run.

BY-PRoDUCTS DID THEIR BIT

During the period of the war large percentage of the linters and hulls produced by the cotton of the Salt River Valley was used in the manu- tacture of guncotton, -cellulose and smokeless powder. while much Of the kernel of the seed was used for the manufacture of nitroglycerin. This merely goes to show the degree of patriotism possessed by the inhabi- tants of the Salt River Valley, where even the inanimate objects consecrated their entire being to blowing the Kaiser out of Germany

LAYING THE GHOST

Perhaps the most significant event
OF the past week, aside from the d.
Election of the Italian delegation at
Paris, was the announcement that
the government Is to proceed imme-
diately to return the cables and wire
systems of communications to their
owners.
That this step will meet with the
approval Of the majority Of the puU-
lie that has to use these means Uf
communication Is certain The short
time in which the wires and cables
Rave been under government oper-
elton has served one good purpose
II has laid tie ghost OF governmental
ownership.
Several elements have united to
condemn governmental ownership Of
these utilities, and the most surpris-
Ing OF these has been the attitude of
department heads toward the appeals
OF employees. As administered by
tho department tho truth of tn argu-
monts oft repeated by opponents Of
government ownership, the employ- y-
ees found that they could not enforce
their demands by the usual methods
and that thus they became mere cogs

MARRIAGE TREATY
 IS FROWNED UPON
Even After Peace is Signed U. $. DOughbOy Will Not Be Permitted
 to Wed German Girl

Coblenz, July 26, (By the Associat- ed Press.) of marriages be- tween American soldiers and German girls have been received at hea dquar- ters from various parts of the occu- pied area during the last few days but as yet no charges have been filed against any of the men as it is be- lieved most of the marriages were due to misunderstanding regarding the anti-fraternization regulations.
 A week before the treaty was sign ed, several of the chaplains through a misunderstanding informed the sol diCrs that marriages were permissib ble as soon as the German accepted the peace term Officers say that number of marriages took place be- fore this belief was corrected by a special order from headquarters call ing the attention of officers and men to the fact that until the United States ratified the treaty Germany and America technically were at war and the regulation prohibiting frater- nizatiOn was still in fO1 ce.
 At headquarters it is said that even after the United States ratifies the treaty marriages with German girls will be prohibited by an army order.

FRENCH CHAMBER
 UPHOLDS NEGROES
ftuc>tcDS Government on Alleged Il-Ircatmcnt of French Soldiers
 By American VI. P.'S

Paris July 26.-The government was interpellated in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday afternoon on the rough treatment French negro sol diers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The questions were asked by Nj. BoiHneuf and M. Lagros- Ilcre, negro deputies, respectively from GuadCloupc and Martinique. The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the follow ing resOlution:-
 The Chamber, faithful to the i'm mortal principles of the rights of man, condemining all preiudicees of religion, caste or race. solemnly af- hrms the absolute equality of all men without distinction Of race or color, and their right to the benefit and pro- tectiOn of all tue laws of inc country. The Chamber counts upon the govern me1t to apply these laws and see that the necessary penalties for their in- fringement are inflicted"
 Jules Pans, minister of the inter- for, replying to the negro deputies, said that the government had applied penalties and asked them not to in siSt upon a discussion of the very regrettable incidents as France does not forget the services rendered by her negro sOns" He added that the American government had not hesi- tated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor.
 M. Pans asked Deputy Bolsneuf, for reasons of high diplomacy" to drop the subject. The deputy said he would not speak of questions that in VOlved diplomacy but he protested against the complicity of the French military uthOrities in these incidents. He then read a confidential circular to French officers attached to the American army, setting forth how America opinion did not tolerate familiarity between whites and blacks"
 And it is America that wants a so- ciety of nations" interjected Charles Brnard, a deputy from the Seine
 ''The circular wasn't signed by Will son." shouted Deputy Mayeras (so- cialist from the Seine) in reply to M. Bernard.
