MAYORS CAMPAIGN
IN DENVER HOTTEST
IN HISTORY OF CITY

Denver, Colo. May 19.-One of
The hottest mayoralty campaigns
Denver ever has witnessed came to
close tonight with managers of
each of the two principal candidates
asserting their confidence his can
didate would carry the city tomorrow
by a plurality of 5000 votes. The
preferential system of balloting and
the fact that there are five candi-
dates in the field made the outcome
more or less uncertain. In some
quarters it was said that it would
be necessary to count the second and
third choice votes in order to de-
termine the next mayor of Denver.
Cass e, Harrington, one of the
principal candidates is an attorney.
Dewey c. Bailey, against whom
the Harrington supporters have been
concentrating their efforts is COM
missioner of safety and excise. He
was appointed to the place by the
late Mayor Robert Speer.
Other candidates are Sidney East
wood, John S. Flower and JOSEPH
r. Rees.
Possibilities that one of the three
latter candidates may be elected on
second and third choice votes were
being discussed tonight.
1t is conceded that few other than
first choice votes would be given
to Harrington and Bailey and the
count on the second and third choice
might give the majority to one OF
the three other candidates.

WOMAN At HEAD
Of RELIEF FORM
FOR BOHEMIANS

Paris, France, April 1$.--A woman
has been entrusted with the big task
of organizing and administering relief
work in one of Europe's new states
C2echo- Slovakia.
Lady Muriel Paget, an F,ugliShWom-
an, whose devotion to the CZeChO-Slo-
wax cause is well known, arrived here
from Prague today after a months
tour of the new republic, and outlined
to the Associated Press correspond
cnt her scheme for the relief of that
country Her plan, which has the APP
proval Of the CHechO -SloVak authori-
ties, is TO enlist a body Of able and
willing social workers to train the
women of Czecho-Slovakia in social
welfare work. Her ambition is TO in
terest patriotic Czech women in Amer
lea in the welfare of their native land
'Fhere are roughly five million peO-
pie in CzechG- Slovakia today who
have just enough to keep body and
soul together" Lady Muriel said.
Against these. who may be described
as the rural population, there are l.
100000 who are below the line of bare
existence. They are, broadly speak
ing, the industrial and mining popu-
lation."
Food most of it from America, is
row coming into the country through
Triest at the rate Of ABOUT a hundred
carloads day; yet 100000 people in
eastern Slovakia are starving, and
even in the better situated parts the
flour ration is only three pounds a
head per month
Lady Muriel explained how this ST.
uation is utilized by the Magyars in
Hungary to SOW discomfort among the
Slovaks
practically all the intelligent
classes have left S.ovakia," Lady Muir
iel continued, "and IT is during the
present crisis and until their own peo-
pie can be trained to do constructive
and administrative work that the
Czecho Slovak government and the
people have asked me to organize
temporary assistance and provide adj
vice"
Lady Murie will establish her re-
lief headquarters at Pressburg from
which center the sixteen necessitous
Slovakian districts will be fed, clothed
and merically assisted

| st. Louis, Ma l9.-Instances in
which Presbyterian missionaries i'll
! foreign lands sometimes sacrificed
their lives or suffered the loss of their
liberty while engaged in their work in
behalf of the oppressed natiOnalities
during the war are related m the an
nual report of the board of foreign
missions to the Presbyterian church
presented to the Presbyterian general
assembly.
MANY missionaries died as a result
of the diseases contracted in the ia
mine work in Persia" SAYS the report.
The mission work saved many other
thousands. In northwestern Persia the
kurds and the Turks drove 10000
people in panic fright. DR.. w. A.

who accompanied the refugees died
on the journey victim Of cholera, as
he was seeking to protect the fleeing
people from their enemies in the rear
DR. ". S. Vanneman and DR.. F. N.

Tabriz, were imprisoned by the Turks,
and their buildings looted
Death in all forms Is reported by
the board as reapins terrible har-
vest in Syria and Palestine. DR.. Wiz
liam 5. Nelson and Charles Dana We're
jailed without food or water for days
for their relief work which offended
the Turks. The Syrian relief work
revealed indescribable misery. A
father stole food given to his little
child until the child died of starva-
ton. Women lured children to their
homes, killed them, ate their flesh,
boiled the fat and sold It in the mar
ket place"
Concerning Korea the report says:
The missionaries are in a position of
great delicacy. If they avow sym
pathy with the Koreans they incur the
wrath of Japan and the danger of ex-
pulsion from the country. If on the
other hand, they avow sympathy with
the Japanese, they destroy their in
fluence with the Koreans The boarl
tells also of complications caused by
the japanese demanding the separa-
ton of education and religion in mis-
sion as well as in government schools,
a problem which is not yet adjusted.
Concerning Latin America the
board finds mot for a generation has
the feeling toward the United States
been so sympathetic and kindly as it
is today" In India the board reports
notible loyalty and order, but deep
undercurrents which no one IS able to
estimate. Politically" it adds. there

Chandler District Leads Tn Production Of Cotton Tn
 The SaIt Riper Valley

In 1916 the Goodyear Rubber com pany purchased 10000 acres from the Chandler Improvement company with a view to reclaim this land and put it to the production of cotton This land lies four miles south of Chandler and is known as Egypt. The holdings of this company increased until the en- tire reclamation project totals 25.O00 acres with about 10000 acres of land leased. This reclamation work is be- ing carried on bv the Southwest Cot ton company and is proving remarkab- " successful. Last year south of Chandler 13.500 acres were planted to cotton. while at the town of Egypt it. self extensive improvements were put in Many new houses were erected for the convenience of employees as we'll as a pool hall, pavilions, warehouses, etc. Several miles of concrete ditches
 many of them with an eight and a half foot bottom. were constructed, and nine batteries. totalling 20 wells equip ped with l6-inch casing. and capable Of pumping seven cubic feet of water per second, were also completed. All Of these improvements meant much 10 the Chandler district which profited in- directly fl not directly from them.

ing resume of cotton in the Chandler district:
 Tn commercial way the first cot ton crop Chandler had was in 1913. At that time the acreage was a little over 800, but since then the acreage has increased from year Co year. until in 1918 figure of 5000 acres was reached in the Chandler district. X promise of about the same acreage is held forth by the growers for 1919. though a few thousand more acres may be put in.
 With the planting season almost at hand, I would advise for the new grower of cotton in this district a thoroughly prepared seed bed.
 There are two ways to plant cotton to obtain a good stand, one is to plant flat and the other is to list. Listing is. however, the more common method. The general process is as follows: First list the field and water it thor oughly. then when it is dry enough Co work, drag down the ridge and plant.
 ITO plant flat, first prepare a good seed bed, then irrgate, and when dry

SO|L IN VALLEY LIKE
 THAT IN LOWER EGYPT

The soil in the Salt River Valley is similar to that of the soil in Lower Egypt north of Cairo where the bet ter grades of the famous Egyptian cot ton are grown. Formerly Salt River Valley was cut off in natural drainage, and great lakes were formed where was deposited the present valley soil This land has yielded, without other fertilization than irrigation for genera tions. two crops of grain per year.
 For the last 40 or 90 years the valley has been planted largely in alfalfa or used as pasturage which has greatly enriched the soil and made it the very best kind of soil for cotton growing. Under the present system the farmer raises cotton on only from 25 per cent 10 8 per cent of his holdings, keeping the remainder in alfalfa or using it for pasturage. With this rotation, the sta bility of the cotton crop is assured and the fine quality will be maintained.
Arizona republican., 1919-02-20

One Of the most established cotton growing districts. as well as one of the most progressive in tho culture -of cotton is the Chandler district. which from the first commercial crop of cotton harvested from 800 acres in fsf3 has grown until at the present time a total of 10000 acres are dedi- cated 10 the growth of cotton.
 So rapid indeed has been the growth of the cotton industry here that even in 1913 it was found necessary to erect . gin. This gin. built by the Chandler Improvement company. was erected for si5.0o0 early in September of 1913. and began operations on october 2l, of the same year. This initial gin had a capacity of 1000 pounds per gin per day. At that time the gin had the reputation of getting out the best and the cleanest cotton in the valley. The production in these first years of the Chandler district. including that of Gilbert. was something around 1000 bales. At that time cotton sold for iS cents. but it steadily increased in price from year 10 year. thus encour- aging more and more growers to put in the new crop.
