DURING WAR YEARS
 COMMERCIAL CLUB
 READY T0 LEND AID

After America entered the war, it was decided to curtail the general ex- penses and simply maintain the or ganization SO that it might be in readiness for any demands upon it. This step was taken on January, 1918, and the expenses at once reduced from about s200 per month, to less than S75 The club rooms were given up and c. B. Grigsby of the McE'adden Cotton company generously offered desk space to the secretary, who for the year was expected to do only clerical work.
 However. it so happened that the president. C. Fred Bracket, was ap- pointed deputy food commissioner for Maricopa county, and it became neces- sary to. handle the 1000 bread cards as required by the chief commissioner. These cards with all the notations be- ing constantly required thereon, were handled by the secretary during the summer of 1918. The work became more extensive than was supposed and two people were required for portion of the time in keeping the records. In this connection due praise should be given Mir. Braci1ett for the two years work he spent as president of the organization.
 He had ever it's success in mind and was constantly on the lookout for some line of work that would serve 10 in crease the clubs usefulness. At the expiration of his second term, he re- fused to become a director for the third year and a rising vote of thanks was accorded him for his untiring devotion Co the duties of his office.

 Selects Mesa
 After visiting several cities of the Valley. it was my good fortune to se- lcct Mesa as my home The Gateway City it is rightly called the busiest, most thriving community l had ever seen. Its location on high ground, it's position in regard to the Valley as a whole it's environs it's crop records and successes together with the pleas ant people of Mesa, made it indeed a desirable city.
 What does the future hold for Mesa lt has been my good forunt to wit ness the growth of Southern California in the last fifteen years. Fifteen years ago California was alive with opportu- mites, yet people who lived there and boosted the section never dreamed that such successes as they have re- alized would attend their own growth. People of the Valley are prone to mini mize what they believe will be their own development. It takes imagina- ton to picture the valley ten years hence. But you may expect land prices Co be far removed from what they are now. you may expect popula- ton Co increase rapidly, more acreage Co be reclaimed, more water found, factories built. business increased and cotton culture widely extended. With out doubt Pima cotton will be one of the controlling features on the world S cotton market within a few years.
 Needs Many Things
 Mesa is lin the very heart of this section. surrounded with the most prosperous ranches in the valley. The city has plenty of room to grow. Edu- cational facilities are practically un- equalled There are endless opportu- mites combined with a climate which is as healthful as beautiful. Mesa would grow in spite Of itself l sec Mesa, a thriving city, one of the largest

 Nevertheless. Mesa does need many things. Its greatest necessity is resi- dences substantial and attractive. It need an extension of its paved streets. better street lighting facilities, some of its residential blocks shortened, beautiful shade trees planted i na sys- tematic fashion, and a new library.
 In the meantime, while we realize to some extent our own possibilities. let us all get together for good roads, in- creased water supply. greater acreage, increased cotton production, and the welfare of this section in general.

with him were killed by stroke Of
lightning Wednesday,, were laid away
at different burying grounds.
MIR. Thomas was buried at Oakland

at the sad rites. The floral offerings
were elaborate and beautiful. The

dent of the town, all of the larger
stores closed during the funeral hour
so as to attend the burial services.

following up by actual States the
tremendous shortage in the supply
OF cotton as compared with demand,
careful study of war conditions,
pre-war conditions and now post
war conditions will be wonderfully
instructive to our farmers and to
the world at large. The world con-
sumed practically fifteen million
bales Of American cotton while the
embargo was on the Central powers,
and while we were still at war Amcri-
can consumption rose from about
five million bales to seven millions.
Now, with all the cLlbaraOes lifted
and with the supply Of cotton goods
necessarily depleted tho world over,
is hard to say. The supply Ut cotton
goods throughout the world is de-
pleted from two tremendous and far
reaching causes-the drafting Of
operatives and la Dor from mills, the
decentralization Of business and then
the totally inadequate supply of the
raw material. Now that employment
is being sought by those released
from military duty and the world is
c'amoring for cotton goods, and no
embargocs. prohibitions or restric-
tons exist. and the supply sD mani

FIGURES COTTON VALUE HIGH.
Wannamaker Says Cotton Is Worth
65 to 75 Cents.

Columbia, July 1S.-In a state
ment issued here, j. SkOttowe Wan
namaker, president Of the American
Cotton Association, declared that he
had recently laid before the largest
manufacturers Of America and larg-
est dry goods houses and best ex-
perts OF America the question,
What is pound of middling cot
ton worth, based on the price Of the
manufactured product to-day. after
deducting the price of manufacturing
and a fair profit to the manufacture
er?' Mr. Wannamaker says in his
statement. "Their answer to this in
quiry is that it is worth from 65 to
- cents per pound, basis middling"
Mr.. Wannamaker further declared
in his statement that: BASED on
supply and demand the world is
facing the greatest shortage in raw
cotton it has ever faced since cot
ton was first introduced into Ameri-
ca. | am firmly Of the opinion that
the New England and English spin
ncrs are terribly uneasy on account
of the tremendous advantages which
the American Cotton Association is
bringing to the entire cotton in
terests,' said Mr.. Wannamaker.
'"They are terribly uneasy OIL account
Of the fact that they realize the
world is facing a great shortage;
that the producer will never again
operate his farm except upon bust
ness basis and will not over-produce.
Before this time next year the
spinners will be glad to buy cotton
at any price. If their spirit and
liberality is such as many Of their
friends claim, they have golden op-
portunity to prove this now by pay
ing a fair, just price for cotton based
on the manufactured product, which
would be 65 to rs cents per pound.
basis middling, instead Of continuing
to buy at present prices based on the
manipulated prices Of the New York
Cotton Exchange. The price being
paid at present Is absolutely unfair"

LEVER NAMED FOR LOAN BOARD
Confirmation CGrtain-Several AS
piruntS for His Seat,

Washington, ID. c., July "
Representative Asbury Lever, Of the
7th South Carolina District, former
chairman Of the committee of agri-
culture, and for years one of the most
prominent political figures in his
own State and in the South, was to-
day nominated by President Wilson
TO be member Of the Federal Farm
Loan Board.
The position, for which Mr.. Lever
has peculiar fitness, is very i'm
portant one, paying a salary Of ST. o.
600, and his election shows the es-
TEEN in which he is held by Mr..
Wilson and the administration. The
term for which Mr.. Lever is nomi-
mated is an unexpired one, having
about five and half more years to
run.
AS the law requires that both of
the principal parties shall be repre-
sented on the board, and as it is
altogether likely that Mr.. Lever will
be renominated for the next ensuing
full term Of eight years if he desires
to remain on the board for that
length of time, Mr.. Lever will re-
tire from Congress, where he has
served eighteen years, to accept the
nomination when it has been con-
firmed. His resignation will prob
ably be rendered to take effect the
first Of August. There is of course
no doubt of confirmation, as the
South Carolina Congressman is popu-
lar at both wings of the capitol and
on both sides of the political fence.
Few members have had their
names attached as author, part
author or sponsor to greater num-
ber of vital acts Of legislation.
Among them may be mentioned the
cotton futures act, the act creating
the bureau Of markets, the Federal
warehouse act, the first bill ever
mittee providing Federal aid for
road building, the forest reserve act,
the SmithLever farm demonstration
and home economies act, the food
stimulation act and the act creating
the Federal farm loan board itself.

by direct stroke Of lightning. The
lightning struck the barn which
the mules were in, killing one in
