COTTON RA|SERS AGREE IN PR|CE
 II PAY PACKERS

MESA, Sept. ' - well attended meeting of the cotton growers of the scuthside was held yesterday afternoon
 in the city hall of Mesa. The room was crowded it being estimated that approximately 150 growers were pres ent. Leonard Nets was selected as chairman of the meeting, which was addressed by T. A. Knox, secretary Of the Arizona Cotton Growers as- sociation.
 MT. Knox went into details as to the amount of work done and yet necessary to be done by the association in order to provide 2 sufficiency of pickers to handle the crop. He further explained that the suspension of the law against unrestricted immigration of laborers, which suspension had been made spec iel in this district in order to enable the growers tr' have the cotton picked would be removed on January 1st and that thereafter further action would have to be taken.
 Tn the opinion of the speaker, steps should immediately be taken to have congress provide a permanent means of relief from a condition which in his sDinion would exist here each year, viz q scarcity of pickers. MT. Knox stated that without doubt there would be a gaeatly increased acreage of cotton in the valley next year, as well as in other portions of the state and that it would be absolutely necessary to begin now Arranging for permission to introduce laborers into this section to handle the licking. The speaker was asked a number of questions and responded bringing out plainly the great work that is being done by the association an looking after the needs of the grower.
 A resolution was adopted by the gathering that cents per pound and no more should be paid for picking cotton from now until the first day of January 1920 Further questions as to how to manage this phase of the situation, and how also to prevent lGrifting of rickers from one field ta

MORTALITY. IT
 ARIZONA BABES
 GRON|NGA PACE
Local Authority Views with Alarm Number of Deaths of Babes Under One Year and Advises How to Save Them

The young mothers of Phoenix and the Salt River valley will greet with profound concern the announcement contained in a recent bulletin of the Arizona board of health to the effect that 1,2S1 babies in the state died dur ing the year 1918 before they had passed their first birthday.
 An approximation of this truth was contained in an article appearing in an afternoon paper August 22, which declared that 557 babies under the age of two died during the year 1918, that three -fourths of this number were under the age of one year, and that four -fifths were Mexicans.
 Alarming as this is, the correct fig ures are worse, showing that 1.2S1 babies under the age of one year died in 1918.
 Of these 1,21S babies, 434 died of diorrhoeal diseases, 90 per cent of whom could have been cured had their mothers been trained in motherhood.
 These deaths, according to the state ment of an authority on children's dis eases and baby feeding, are directly traeeable in most cases to ignorance.
 Too many mothers, this physician declares, believe that motherhood brings an instinctive knowledge of how to feed and take care of baby. These fall an easy prey to the highly adver- tised baby foods which come in pack ages with the prescription the same for all babies of the same age, ire spective of individual needs.
 Another evil in the feeding of young babies is found in the failure of moth H. k1 s4 properly. The only food other than mothers milk which should ever be fed to young baby is cows milk, properly modified by the addition of sugar and the reduction Of fats and protein to resemble the individual mothers milk as closely as possible.
 Contrary to popular superstition, this milk should be boiled. Boiled milk is safe, and there is no foundation for the belief that riekets and scuryey follow the use of E-ilk which has been boiled. The milk must be boiled carefully, however. and withdrawn from the fire immediately after the boiling point is reached.
 Another cause contributing in many cases to infanty mortality is the un- willingness of some physicians and nurses to occupy themselves with the instruction of young mothers.
 Most women will follow eagerly the advice of physician or trained nurse. If this advice is carefully given, the mother soon learns to nourish her chil- dren properly. If not, the child suffers in consequence.
 All these things contribute to the infanty mortality which is being com batted so earnestly by the Arizona board of health, and it is hoped that hy a careful campaign of education, many Of these evils may be eradicted

he stopped the child in the hallway.
He Offered her candy. When she
hesitated he started to take her up in
his arms and she began to scream.
Quickly his fingers closed around the
little throat and he stepped hack into
the room with his victim. Safe inside
the door closed, he choked her to
death. Down into the basement he took
the body, pushed it DOWN into the
smokestack and covered it with coal.
1t was about noon Tuesday when
Janet, who was 6 years old, waved
goodYby two of her playnates after
mornings frolic at a public play

ward her home, half block away. She
never reached there. When she did not
come home her parents searched the
Fairgrounds and the nighborhood, but
to no avail They then notified the

sons, and who was night Waterman at
