 To Decide Picking Day
 Visions of the business houses closed the streets deserted and every resident of the town out picking cotton has caused keen interest in Mesa as the re- sult of the Commercial clubs sugges- ton of a cotton picking day. Officials in their suggestion of the day early this week had in mind the creation oi stronger bonds of sympathy and good VIII between the townspeople and the cotton growers and had hopes of de ciaring a holiday in town when every. body would go to the fields for one whole day and pick cotton. The move scheme has caused much favorable comment and some unfavorable com. nent with the result that the Com. mercial club invites a further discus sion of the idea. The club directori will meet for their regular weekly ses sion next Friday noon and cotton pick ing day will probably be decided oni way or the other at that time.
