Meeting the north and the south citizens thought
nothing of the long 30me stage journey from Phoe-
nix and Prescott. One would make the trip and re-
turn before he had been missed by his neghbors. In
the more settled states if man was intending to
visit adjacent county seat thirty forty miles
away he would apprise all of his friends of the in
tended adventure; it would be discussed at the
grocery and inquiry would be made as TO the char
acter Of the business urgent as to compel such
journey. On his return he would be hailed by all his
acquaintance and bombarded with inquiries the

Thus man is shown to be divinely pro-

MAXWELL CHASSIS
To Be KEPT HERE
FOR SEVERAL DAYS

The Maxwell model exhibition chas-
sis, which attracted so much attention
at the automobile show, is to remain
in Phoenix for a few days, according
TO an announcement made yesterday
by r. d. Roper Of the Roper Motor
company, which entered the model in
the show.
Mr.. Roper has invited all members
Of the high school mechanical and
physical classes to visit the Roper
show rooms on North Central avenue
and make an inspection of the car. 1t
is thought that a study period spent
by the boys in looking over the chassis
will prove highly beneficial to them.
Segments of the motor block trans
mission and differential have been
cut out so that every working part OF
the machine is to be plainly seen. In
fact, all the heretofore hidden mys-
teries of an automobile can be inspect
ed and it takes only a few minutes
to obtain more information in this
manner than by studying books for a
year.
The chassis is highly finished with
all the metallic parts polished. Lights
have been placed inside so that all
working parts are Illuminated.

ARIZONA COTTON
PRICES HIGHEST
IN MART HISTORY

That the price commanded at pres
ent by extra fine long staple cotton of
the type grown in this valley is alto
gether unprecedented in the history Of
the cotton market is the statement of
the Journal of Commerce and Com
merciar Bulletin in a special article
published last week.
Interesting information concerning
the present cotton situation is given in
the article, which, in part, is as fol-
lows:
NEW BEDFORD, Mass.-To say
that the astonishing prices demanded
for extra staple cotton of good grade
has unsettled the entire fine cotton
goods manufacturing industry would
be putting it mildly. Brokers of long
experience here are frank in declaring
that the present situation has no pre-
cedent within their recollection. Mill
men who at first were disposed TO
laugh at the situation as a freakish
outgrowth of southern manipulation,
are now beginning to take conditions
seriously, as the latest information in
dicates that continued wet weather is
now assuming the proportions of ca
lamity.
Those mills which had been waiting
for more reasonable prices before COW
ering with cotton purchases some of
the new contracts they had taken have
lost no time in going into the market
despite the high prices and taking viz
tually all the high grade cotton that
was offered, and some truly surpris-
ing prices have been paid this week
for strict and good middling staples.
One firm made a flat offer of a
quarter of million to a single eastern
! spinner in an effort to buy its release
! from the sale obligation. It was ru-
mored in this market that one of the
| largest southern shipping houses was
/ trying in every way to cancel its early
sales of good grades and was ready an6
willing to pay a flat penalty Of g
million.
The attitude of the mills, as a rule
has been against any such offers OF
the ground that you cannot make
cotton goods out OF dollars. Needless
to say, however, there is expected al
endless amount of trouble about de.
! liveries. Mills have no way of know
ing whether good grade cotton the.
bought earlier in the season for futur,
delivery will be delivered as purchased
or not.
Even those plants, on paper, which
are long on staples at present, dar'
not sell further goods for fear thei
cotton will not be delivered.
The result of the situation is tina
manufacturers have practically deter
mined to sell no more goods until the.
are sure of the cotton from which t
make them.
| Some of the prices obtained for stric

middling staples this week are such as
to warm the hearts of the cotton grow
ers. Full eighths sold early in the
week for 59c, but most brokers declare
it is no longer possible to buy at that
level. AS a matter of fact, there are
no firm prices quoted here. All are
subject to confirmation, and it usually
happens that the price is jumped 1c or
&c pound when an effort is made to
complete a sale. Full three -sixteenths
in strict middling or better sold at SEC
and at SIC, the latter figure being paid
here yesterday
1t seems that Georgia and the Caro-
linas constitute the only locality where
good grades are still obtainable in
quantity, and the quotations from that
section are in many cases &c or even
sc under the price demanded for strict
middling out of the middle or western
part of the cotton belt As an example,
strict and good middling full inch and
a sixteenth of a type used in large
quantities by a certain group of New
Bedford mills was being purchased
here during the week for $50 points or
December. The cotton was Georgia
cotton, however, and the quotations the
same day for the same length of staple
and equal grade out of Texas were
$50 to 1000 on, or $50 to $50 on for mid
ding. Prices for Boston eighths varied
from 1000 to 1000 points on December
for strict middling, while even the flat
sixteenth was quoted at $50 to $50 fol
middling.
Shipments are so late that some o.
the mills are hard pressed for cottoT
and fancy prices are being offered fol
spots. One mill was willing to give
better than LOO on December for full
| sixteenths on the spot, but in mos
cases the prices available were more
in line with future delivery cotton.
| Price quotations on strict middling
white extra staple cotton, classed &C.
! cording to very high standard giving
! types fully equal to government staple
| length standards, are quoted as fol
lows, the understanding being that al
are subject to confirmation:
Inch and an eighth, sec to CSC.
| Inch and three sixteenths, Csc to zoe
| Inch and a quarter, &c to 73c.
Inch and five sixteenths, sec to 75c

COME TO PHOENIX
IN INTERESTS Of
BIC OIL CONCERNS

4 find that Arizona people are of
an analytical bent when it comes to
oil investments. Their intelligence is
above the average" stated W. c. Best
of Wichita Falls, Texas, yesterday.
Mr.. Best, who occupies a high position
in the oil producing game in the Texas
and Louisiana fields, is in the city
with c. G. Cole, general representative
of the several companies with which
Mr.. Best is connected
Mr.. Best emphasized the fact that
he has not come to Phoenix to sell
stock, but merely to strengthen the
cordial relation which already exists
between Arizona oil stock holders
and the producers and managers of
companies. Scoring heavily the COM
panies which have made practice of
exploiting the stockholder. he indi-
Gated that validating is rapidly be-
coming thing of the past, and will
soon be replaced by a sober, substan-
tial relation between the investor and
the producer.
Many stockholders in this state,
find" Mr.. Best continued, cannot
understand why their stock does not
return more rapid dividend. l wish
these people could form some idea of
the congested condition of pipe lines
in the Texas fields. They would under
stand then that not more than 10 or
15 per cent of the oil struck in new
wells can be released, because of the
lack Of pipe lines and storage facil-
| tiles
| Mr.. Best then explained that until
more pipe lines are built, the new wells
| are checked as soon as the oil sand is
rachel. Later the wells will be con-
tinued through the sand and the wells
allowed to flow freely.
The Homer field in Louisiana is the
best field in the south today, in Mr.
Bests opinion. The greatest well in
the world at the present time is sit
uated in that field, he indicated.
Construction of one and possibly
two refineries is contemplated by the
companies with which Mr.. Best and
| Mr.. Cole are connected, ii was stated
| last night. This will permit the stock
holders in these companies to realize
the greater profit which comes from
| the sale of refined rather than crude
oil,at the same time continuing to pay
/ them dividends on the oil well stock.

ART AND BOOZE

Joseph Pencil. the illustrator, says that with
out alcoholic drink there will be art poetry in
America.
Three great American poets were drinkers and
to excess.
One OF them was Edgar Allen Poe
But all abstained for very long periods and did
all their work during total state of sobriety.
One of Poes friends said of him: zone
drink with him like hitting fine Swiss watch
with Ratchet"
Another Of this group said himself that drink
OF whisky made any with imagination feel
too good to do any work.
Walt Whitman, and whom the vets may claim
not to be poet, was drinker to moderate degree
in early years. but he physical giant and said
that liquor had little effect upon him. and that
he cared nothing for it.
A great American novelist and playwright quit
drinking his 50th year his drink confessions
for national magazine and has since done what all
critics agree to be his best work
Edwin Booth, the actor a periodical drinker
in his early career, but like the three poets first
mentioned, incapable of any mental concentra-
ton after one drink of brandy
Three great American architects were drinkers
One was epicurian drinker who brought on
physical maady the result of it and from which
he died In the middle of very brilliant career
The two others were periodical drinkers One
did his best and most important work previous to his
32d year and before he became drinker
The third was unreliable in the matter of his
engagements that he could not practice his art inde
pendenty but remained in the employ of other archi
tects. While he personally designed many imnort
ant structures in this country including one of the
two most successful buildings Of the Chicago Worlds
Fair yet ne never received full public credit for
them.
we are inclined to think that belief in drink as
an aid to artistic production is a delusion
Its effect on the quality of art is highly ouest;or
able and IT has certainly added nothing to the
tity Of art.

First International
Labor Congress Ends;
Meets Again in 1920

! Washington, Nov. 2o.-The first
international labor conference held
under the auspices of the treaty Of
Versailles was concluded Saturday
and adjourned subject to the call
of the governing board. It was I'M
derstood that the next meeting
would be late in 1920 at the seat OF
the league.
Delegates from Al countries rep
resenting labor and employer groups
as we'll as the governments have
attended the conference sessions,
which continued exactly one month.
In that time the members of the
conference have perfected their or
ganization, created d governing
body, appointed a director general
of the labor Office and agreed upon
great volume of identic legislation
to be recommended to their respec-
tive governments.
A protest against the preponder-
ance of European influence in the
governing body made by William
Gemmill, employers, delegate from
South Africa, marked the closing
session. The body has "a members,
20 OF whom are from European
countries and only two from the
Americas. Mr.. Gemmill pointed to
the injustice of such organization
and asked for an expression on his
protest, which was supported by a
vote of A to 80.
Arthur Fontaine, director of the
labor department of the French
ministry OF labor and president Of
the governing body, insisted that
criticism of the body's organization
was premature
