PHOENIX |S TO
 HAVE ANOTHER NATIONAL BANK
N. L. Lytle at Head of Com mercial National Bank, Which, with Strong Kan sas City Backing Is to Be Opened Here

Phoenix is to have another bank. Application has been made for a char ter for the Commercial National Bank of Phoenix Prime mover in the enter prise is N. L. Lytle, with strong Kansas City connections. He was formerly en- gagged in the banking business there and more recently was at the head of q soank at Coldwater, Kansas-
 MT. Lytle spent several months in the valley, residing at that time at Glendale. Having made as exhaustive investigation of opportunities through out the west he came to the Conclu- sion that Phoenix, growing rapidly as it was, offered the best. One thing that impressed him was the steadily mounting deposits of the Phoenix banks during a period, and under conditions, such as the demands of the government, when it was thought, and had been pre- dicted, that they would be reduced. An other thing observed by him were the long lines of patrons in the banks, so that one was waited upon only after long delay. He believed not only that there was room for another bank, but that one was urgently needed
 Application was made for the charter by J. L. Gust, T. J. Prescott and I. Rosenzweig, and it is stated that many other local persons will be interested in the enterprise. It was further stated that though it was desirous of inter- esting as many business men and farm CTS as possible in it, stock would be offered only in small quantities, but not for the purpose of raising money, for the bank will have a strong Kansas City backing.

BOYS INJURY SUIT FUR S35,OO0 |S ON TRIAL AGAINST COTTON CO.

A s35,000 action for damages against the Arizona Egyptian Cotton company went on trial in Judge Lymans court yesterday, the plaintiff being Vernon W. Ayers, aged 15, whose mother, Eva E. Ayers, was appointed guardian ad litem for the prosecution of the suit.
 After making satisfactory proof of employment, counsel moved that the jury be permitted to inspect the cotton gin plant where the accident occurred on which the action is based. The jury, in charge of two court bailiffs, accom- panied by attorneys for both parties went to the scene at 4: 30 o'clock and were ordered to appear in court at 9:30 o'clock this morning when the testi- mony will be resumed.
 Young Ayers claims to have sus- tained a fracture of the skull and other serious injuries while in the employ of the company last January It is all legged that the accident occurred when the lad was working as helper in the cotton house. It is claimed that he was instructed to go upon the board of the distributing box near the pulley shaft to attend the box and distribu- ting belt for a continuous shift of 13 hours. It is alleged that wet and heavy cotton in too large quantities
 was unevenly distributed and retarded the pulley, and in the emergency the l boy grasped the belt with his hands. | In attempting to free himself, his clothing caught in the pulley shaft and ! he was hurled and revolved about the shaft. The boy was employed by the company in November and again in l January during the illness of his father who worked for the company.
 Herbert E. Atha, the company s president, stated on the stand that he had given specific orders that the lad was not to be employed there except
 one night as helper for his father He
 had no knowledge that he was working
 for the company and declared that he
 had given orders that he was not to
 work there when asked by Ayers, Sr.,

296,5OO ACRES ARE
 UNDER CULTIVATION
 IN MAR|C0PA C0.

The area of land under cultivation in MaricOpa county has increased prac tically 100000 acres since 1914, and prospects are very flattering for the addition of 7j,000 to this amount in the near future, according to data recently compiled by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.
 The cultivated land now under irri- gation, as shown by the report, totals an acreage of 296, 500 The Gillespie project on the Gila river, work on which already has started, will add 15,000 acres to the present acreage. Those who are in close touch with the situation predict that with the exten- sion of the present and other projects total of 400, ,000 acres will be reached within the next two years.
 It is interesting to note that the area equals that of the lands under ir- rigation and cultivation in southern California south of the Tehachapi. ex- cluding the region within the Imperial valley
