The Story of Cotton

We have received copy of "The Story of Cotton" by Lindey Vinton with foreword by Carlisle Mason a consulting engineer of New York Both MT yinton and MT Mason visited the Salt River valley some months ago in the of study the long staple cotton industry in the southwest. Though the pam phlet deals with cotton generally it allows consider able space the Egyptian cotton industry here It has several full illustrations all them of valley cotton including bolls, growing cotton and cotton shipping yard at Mesa.
 The pamphlet is handsomely bound in basket weave, heavy dark green paper ornamented with cotton boil in colors.
 Much of the matter relating to long staple cotton is taken from Mir. Masons Report on Growing Cotton in Arizona" His investigations in this valley were conducted the lands of the Southwest Cotton com pany at Chandler and Beardsey He also visited Yuma, the Imperial valley and Lower California GOV ering all the known territory where such cotton may be grown.
 MT. Vinton's work begins with the development generally of cotton in this country after Whtneys invention of the cotton gin
 It describes the progress which has been made in processes for producing cotton seed oil It con- tains statements of production the world and in the United States and the fluctuations of the markets within recent years.

ARGENTINE BEEF

Two American refrigerator ships ply between North American and South American ports, and fre- quently their voyages laden with frozen beef from Argentine have their destination, ports in Europe
 President Wilson has taken action the de- creasing supply in the United States, and beet prices are nothing less than alarming. The Big Five American packers strongly entrenched in South America, busily engaged in SENDING BEEF TO EUROPEi
 The freight rate to England is only half cent more pound than to New York and ships chartered by the British government have been carrying beef to Liverpool at HALF THE RATE TO NEW YORK!
 The federal shipping board has said that the United States government could bring cheap meat to our ports by the method England has adopted.
 Independent packers have complained that some thing was wrong"
 American consumers know that something is wrong"
 Argentine must export a large part of it's beef output and Argentine needs American manufactured products.
 Why in the name of common sense, isn't there healthy exchange between the United States and the South American republic?
 Why should England, rather than America, get the benefit of the grazing herds of the pampa?

 have your adorable letter and am just too gloriously glad for anything that you're flirting about a bit. I always told you you were wasting the best years of your life in drudgery.
 I recognize that your daddy needs you, and has no one but you. But there is a difference between neglect ing him and wearing your fingers off to the knuckles in housework. But you don't tell me who the man isl I demand to know instantly
 Tisn't old Burling, principal of the high school, is it? Or Sanford, the real estate chap? John Burlings niece, of course, dear. but Q dreadful highbrow like that Harvard student at Lively Beach who used to talk airy persiflage about the fourth dimension and why Uganda and the Congo Free State should belong the League of Nations.

 Joan, if sacrifice proves love- Mary Kymbal has surely proved her feeling for Eric Wallis.
 T couldn't go back to England ever" she told me in her plaintive voice. I've no relatives except an uncle in India and he would think me better dead than to do what I have done. I had a little propery, a house in Essex, and I sold it when I left so as not to take a penny of what belonged to my husband. I am frightened now at what 1 have done. But-there wasn't any other way-nothing else could do-was there, Miss Varick?"
 She is terribly disconcerting when she turns her sad eyes on me and begs for comfort and support.
 'fNo-no, I suppose not" I answered and sigh of relief escaped her. After all, life is just a question of longing and reaching out, and taking, and realizing that we have chosen right not made a mistake-and that oui method has been-well, decent" was speaking as much to myself as tC her

the Queen of Smiles long time to get what she had gone after. The sus- pense became almost uncomfortable. My arms ached with holding the glasses. Nv vision grew strained and blurred. More than once I thought that Mary must come up. At last I saw another man go over the side, in the tugs ex- tra basket. I reasoned that it was Smith, Mary's trainer.
 Much relieved. and quite wild to know what Mary would bring up from the depths, I hurried out and across the sands to the little motorboat l was accustomed to handle alone.

 I climbed into the big boat and saio, "Out toward that tug" as 1 settled down into the masters seat
 Then I noted that there was sec ond sailor in the craft. It was Jo Bach
 But he didn't worry me, for was watching the tug. I saw a basket coming up again, small figure ap- parently lifted from it, and then the trainer Smith stepping out sank back in the comfortable seat in intense relief.
 Our treasure hunt had ended What would be the trove?
 We circled the tug and slowed down close to her. But Mary wasn't stand ing on deck to hail me. and the elew seemed queer and solemn. The captain made signs to the men in my boat.
 Where's Miss Thomas ?' I called.
 The sailors looked at one another, and the captain seemingly didn't hear. At least he only proceeded to give di- rections for taking me on board.

APPLE PIE
sy Edmund Vance Cooke

By Edmund Vance Cooke I ponder on the long, long years
 Of orchards sprayed and cultivated, Of punging hopes and blighted fears
 Before your boughs were decorated I think of all the sweat and toll
 Of brown arms on the sun-soaked acres, Before there garnered from the soil
 The kernels destined for your bakers I hear songs in the sweetened cane
 And watch the darkeys' faces brighten; I see the boiling vats a-drain
 Until the simmering sirups whiten. I think how ships and sailors fared
 For just that touch of spice you favor; I think of how Prometheus dared
 To filch the fire to blend your flavor. I think of all that wondrous art
 Which cooking womankind is rich in, By generations set apart For service in the scorching kitchen I touch your filler sugar -juiced,
 I taste your cover Hacked and wheaton; And what the ages have produced

 With my binoculars could see that the tug by now had anchored. The basket was being lowered into the wa ter, the crane moving slowly back and forth and finally stopping.
