It has been said that two of the
strongest human emotions are love Of
life and fear of death. Our actions,
however, belle this statement, for little
do we think of what might occur as we
stuff ourselves with unhealthy food,
ride recklessly in our motor cars, or
waste our energies in useless frivolity.
Yet it seems to be a fact that those
of us who take least thought of our
lives usually live the longest.

Joy, sorrow, fear, contentment, dis
aster, all human experiences, follow
each other in rapid succession. The
world is constantly changing. Yet
there is one thing which, if possessed
and cherished, serves to steady us in
the midst of the whirl, temper the
blast and to tinge our joy with thought
fitness. And that one thing is lfe-
long love, a love which lifts US over
the rough places, helps us to forget
the sorrows, and inspires us to press
ever onward

GILBERT COMPANY
 ID BUILD S35,000 COTTON GIN THERE

The fact that a company has been organized to build a s35,0O0 cotton gin at Gilbert answers most satisfactorily the question as to whether the fertile lands surrounding this progressive and thriving little town. are adapted to the growing of the fleecy staple.
 A few days ago J. W. Lesueur O. C. McElrath Bartley Skinner, Leonard Metz, N. l.. Nowell, Willard Sklusen, w. A. Anderson and several other prominent ranchers and business men of the Gilbert district, formed a cor poration to be known as the Pima Cotton Ginning Co.," the purpose of the corporation being primarily the erecting of cotton gin. and incident ally to buy and sell cotton and cotton seed products. The capital stock of the enterprise is s150.0O0 with ]. w Lesueur as resident, Leonard Nets as vice president and O. C. McElrath as secretary and manager.
 The first step the company made was | tO secure ten acres of land adjacent to | the Arizona Eastern railway track, ly
 ing just west of Gilbert and on this | land will be erected a S35,000 gin, of the most modern type, with every fla
 cility for safe and speed handling Of cotton carried there for ginning. This move on the part of such men as have taken hold of it, means much | for the future of Gilbert, and in all candor the town is deserving of every addition that will serve to enhance it's prosperity. Built close to the edge ot the irrigated district. yet with ample irrigated lands surrounding it, to in sure it's continued growth, the Gilbert community has for its citizenship lot of bold. energetic business men ano ranchers, who carry in their make up much of the pioneerinp spirit that has peopled the west and builded cities out of deserts. Gilbert has grown rapidly in fact more rapidly in proportion than
 any other town in the valley since the cotton industry has been inaugurated | there. and it's business houses and the
 live bank under the management oi
 Bartley Skinner have felt the stimu-
 lating impulse of this money making
 crop.
 The estimated acreage in cotton for last year in the Gilbert territory. wa: about 2000 acres Of this the mos
 extensive planters were O. c. McEl
 rath with over 600 acres, Freeston, Brothers with 800. Cummard and Dan. with 200 and Rurup and Bond witt
 260 acres In addition to the Gilber
 territory. the new gin will draw iron
 the Higley district where Rurup ans Bond will put in 140 acres and W. Il Skousen 240 acres to be irrigated iron pumps. Other Higley acreage als, will be put into cotton.

ton is also furnished. also handled through the town Cf Mesa.
 Poultry and Bees
 The poultry and egg business is at present in 8 thriving condition, the same being true of the bee industry. Bees are raised more or less all over the district and many more stands are found upon the desert bringing cuit1- vated lands. Honey in 1918 brought the enormous price of s24 a case of 10 gallons. This was due to the eXcep- tional demand on account of the short age of sugar under the restrictions of the food administration. This season honey will not yield such a large re- turn in all probability, but neverthe less it always brings q large enough price to warrant the small amount of | eOuble incident to tending a few 1 stands of bees at odd times during the year.
 With it's many acres of exceptionally | rich soil, and it's many agricultural ad vanta0es the Mesa community is in- | deed solidlv established. and should dc much to maintain the high quality O. the products and crops of the Salt River Valley.

NJ RICHER SP0T IN VALLEY THAN
 MESA DISTRICT.
Everything That Grows ill the Salt River Valley Is Produced In That Pros porous Section of Arizona

Provided with acres upon acres ot tbe best soil in the Salt River Valley Mesa raises everything produced in the Salt River Valley. The principal in- dustries of this section include the raising of cotton. gr...,i. hay. alfalfa and forage crops cattle. sheep. dairy COWS. poui,sy. cautaloupes. melons. decidious fruits and @rapes while wool. milk honey and eggs are also produced.
 Cotton
 Pima cotton ot the finest sort is raised in large quantities in the Mesa district. This cotton is a development suited Co the country, made by tho nited States department of agricul- ture at it's experimental station in Sacaton. not many miles distant from Mesa. In 1918 an acreage of about 1S.- uoo of Pima cotton was planted and harvested. Reported yields proved very satisfactory, an average yield of onc-half bale being produced to the acre. approximately 9j0 pounds of lint cotton. The value of the cotton crop last year in this district amounted to il.'0O.000 for the line alone. 10 this iigure must be added the 1900 pounds or seed for every bale Of lint. the seed selling for about S60 a ton [. O. b.
 Cantaloupes
 Cantaloupcs in the Mesa district arc produced in great numbers and are of line quality. The industr- itself has grown remarkably in the last few years. The Mesa cautaloupes like the most or thc crops of the q come nto maturity for an carly market. therefore there is no delay and no loss m making shipments. especially as there is an ice olant at Mesa which at tends Co the icing ot the cantaloup cars. Handled by large distributors the major portion Of the crop finds it's way 70 the eastern markets where it has obtained an enviable reputation for sl1e, flavor and excellence. Growers estlmate that there will he 800 acre, planted to cantaloupes i'm the spring. The 'entire crop is contracted for in advance; in fact, was contracted for before the close of 1918. The average return to the grower last year was S200 an acre.
 Dates
 One Of tho crops which has only re gently achieved success in this dis trict but which now is an importaui one. iS the date crop. This is stilI one ol fle rarest products Of the Tempe Mesa district, but constant experi lnentation and development predict that this industry will soon become cqi- parable with other fruit crops. Al tho present time the government owns all the commercial dates in the valley and Is still carrying on experiments in date culture. but it has absolutely proven that dates can be grown herr

commercially, and has developed market for the product so successfully that demand is far in excess of supply.
 Experimental Farm
 In tine Mesa district and not far from Mesa proper is the University of Ari- zona experimental farm, carrying on experiments with crops. methods of cultivation and so on of infinite value to the community and the state al large. The experimental farm saves practical growers and farmers time and trouble in carrying on experiments or their own on certain crops, while if any problems arise which they cannot satisfactorily solve the eXrerimental farm is willing and anxious to help. The farm itself comprises so acres or what was formerly a luXuriant field Of Johnson gra-S Experts took charge of it however. and soon brought it up to ar excellent state Of bearing. proving that soil under favorable conditions can be made to produce crops, no matter iu what condition it may be found at first.
Arizona republican., 1919-02-20

The work Of the government through the University of Arizona in this line cannot be overestimated in its benefit to the farmers as well as the commun- ity at large.
 Broom Corn
 Broom corn excels in the Mesa dis trict. As a result a broom factory has just been established by Dan Dror- baugh, who intends to raise his ewn broom corn and make his own brooms. Broom corn grows to unusual length here and has a straw of unusual strength, so in the near future Mesa may add still another important indus try and crop to it's alread-- long list, the cultivation of broom corn and the pro- duction Of brooms.
 Citrus Fruits
 Citrus fruits arc also found to grow well in the Mesa district. In 1918 the area devoted to this industry totaled 150 acres of land situated on high ground where the frost menace was reduced to a minimum. Of course this acreage is not very extensive. but the I fruit already produced is of exception al quality. and the citrus industry may | yet become one of the leading ones in \ Mesa.
 Grapes I Another product of this district | which has found it's way into the east | ern market is grapes. Mesa has spe- l cialized in the Thompson seedless va i riety. and they have proved a source of ample profit to the growers. These v~apes ripen and are on the market be- fore the California grapes are ready to be shipped. so they have practically no competition on the market and com mand top price.
 Dairying
 A well developed dairying industry has been developed in Mesa owing to it's vicinity to one of the large milk canning plants of the west. Mesa has some of the best herds oe dairy COWS to be found in the United States. The Dutch Belted, the Guernsey and the Avrshires of the Mesa section this year took first prizes at many of the state fairs. including those of Illinois and h. diana
 Beef, Cattle and Hogs
 Beef cattle, grown on the pastures here. command the highest market price. Hogs have brought biz money tC the grower. Thousand of cattle, sheer and hogs are shipped from Mesa an nually. Range stock is brought to tho valley during the fall and winter an( provides a home market for half ovei hay and surplus posture.
