ID PLANT 4,00O ACRES LONG STAPLE COTTON
 IN UPPER G|LA VALLEY

SAFFORD, March 22.-Probably 1000 acres of medium long staple cot ton will be planted in the upper Gila valley this year, following demon stration by few growers last year of the practicability of cotton growing in this section. Some very fine exam pies of long staple cotton in length around an inch and a quarter were produced here the last season, for which the growers received fair prices.
 A number of present and prospective cotton growers met at the Graham ized the Graham County Cotton Grow CTS association and became affiliated with the state organization, the Ari- zona American Egyptian Cotton Growers association, with general headquarters at 21 North Central ave nue, Phoenix.
 In this way the local association is linked up with the great American Cotton association. of which the state organization is the Arizona branch. Growers here were assisted in per fecting their organization by Charles NJ. Morgan. publicity and field agent for the Arizona association. Pending the first annual election of officers of the new association on April l, the of ficers of the old association here were continued in office in the new organ ization.
 for the enormously increased cotton acreage. not only by organization of the growers, but by arranging for crop financing and the construction of new gin in the valley. The gin. it is announced, will add four stands to the present ginning facilities; possibly more.
 Efforts will be made by the growers to produce the longest staple cotton possible to grow in the growing sea- son at this elevation, nearly 2000 feet above that of the Salt River valley, where the extremely long-staple Pima is most successfully produced as it is realized here that the longer the staple the higher the price.
 Andrew kimba1I, president of the state board of horticulture. presided at the cotton growers meeting.

COURT BATTLE
 |S VETS LAST
Liquor Men Won't Throw
 More Money Away

NEWARK. N. J.--If their fight to have the 18th amendment declared un- constitutional fails, the liquor interests battle against prohibition will be over.
 The distillers and brewers realize the hopelessness of attempting to ob- tain the repeal of the amendment.
 Such is the position of Christian W. FeigenSpan, president of the United States Brewers Association, who has been called the master mind' of the wet forces.
 Viewed in this light the $50 per cent beer bill passed by the New Jer- sey legislature and the similar one pending in New York are nothing more or less than bluff
 We are centering our hopes on the attempt to have the supreme court dee clare the 18th amendr-ent unconsti- tUtional," said Feigensi pan. If the amendment is held legal we shall not conduct any agitation for it's repeal as per cent of the country's population iE 13 of the smaller states could pre- vent this.''

 If congress refuses the appropriation of the bureau of labor statistics proposed cutting off $7S,43O from the which the bureau oper- ated in the fiscal year 1920 which is of $541s0 from the regular appropriation of this fiscal year. it will be impossible for the Bureau of Labor Statistics to continue the of living much less expand this

It is described by it's opponents worthless for the purpose for which it is intendedto serve a conduit in the Verde supply system. We will leave the merits of redwood in this the experts However may say that practically all the testimony have experts and from the experience of communities which have used it. is in its favor There letters from engineers and officials of cities and corporations describing the lasting quality of redwood pipe covering periods of ot Against it have only scattering and unsubstantiated testimony
 The immediate phase is gentlemen who seeking the present city government. the while they standing anti redwood pipe platform, are, far the public is concerned definitely committed against it. The pub lie has right to believe that if they should the control of the city, they would would have nothing do with it.
 Then what would they, what they do? What else is available for conducting the of the Verde into the city. Experts that pipe lacks the tensile strength to stand the strain would be put part of the line. No would undertake to guarantee it. Beside the cost is hbitive. Equally prohibtve is the of cast iron In this situation there is choice. So the present commission found that it necessary either take redwood pipe abandon the project for which the people had voted

And how they do that better than by hampering struction They certainly could not enter into with enthusiasm.

He said his interest in community organization was aroused from hie conviction that it would help to solve both of the problems.
 "Thc movement has many phases" |" he said. "It lies, for instance, q. the very root of a proper AmericapiZa- ton for the essence of Amcricanfza- ton is not merely to teach Englis n, but to draw the newcomer into oln common life and to make him an act i've partner in all of our undertak irgG.
 But above all else, the community organizations movements tend to break down group lines and to bring the people together as citizens in neighborhoods and actions regarding their needs. A more interested citi- zenship and more intelligent de- cisions regarding public questions must reflect themselves in better government.
 "We need as a people to emphasize the common interests which bind us together. There are division in our national life. Let us recognize them all~-economic, social, political. ra- cial, whatever they may be--let ua also remember that after all we are human beings embarked all together on great adventure the most in- cipient, the most spiratial advan- tage man ever dared the search for a democracy based on fellowship and justice"

The sale of seats for Miss Mac Reth's concert is progressing rapid ly. and it would be n wise step for , local music lovers to assure them selves of being able to enjoy this rare treat by providing themselves with tickets well in advance of the date of the performance.
 Florence Macbeth. the charming Minnesota prima donna is exception, ally fond of animals, and of one ami maj in particular, her black cat which answers 10 the name of Iizettc. Whenever the singer is going to stay more than few days in any one place, she invariably takes Lizette with her.
 lizette is a very quiet, well bchav- ed. and ladvlikc cat but once she very nearly kept her mistress out of a hotel When Miss Macbeth enter ed the lobby with the eat in her arms, the hotel manager told her rather curtly that eats were not al lowed in the hotel. The town was q small one. and the hotel was about the only one fit to stay ln, and Miss Macbeth was considerably taken abacE. Fortunately, she remember cd that on u previous tour. she has made the acquaintance of the pro- priet0r and going to T call booth in the hotel. she at once got him on the phone and explained to him her predicament He immediately re- oucsted her to have the manager come to the phone. which she did It was but q very few seconds later. that the manager returned. No one knows what transpired between the hotel proprietor and his manager. but certain it is that the latter eX- pressed a desire to have Misc Mac beth bring in not only Lizette, but any all other pets she might take a fancy to. However, Miss Macbeth declined his effusvc offers, and eX- planed that all she desired was peace and comfort for her one par ticular eat. And Lizette certainly did not want for attention on the part of the hotel management. dur ing her stay. The very best of food with innumerable dclicacies peculiar ly adapted to tickle a well-bred cats palate, were sent up to Miss Mac beth's room, and when she finally took her leave, she was entreated to be sure and bring LiZctte with her, whenever she returned to that town in the future.
