MESA GINS START
 WORK FOR SEASON;
 25 BALES O|V HAND

MESA, Sept. 3-With 25 bales of seed cotton already on hand and more com ing in in increased amounts daily, the Attaway- gin in Mesa started Thursday morning on what will likely be it's season run. Some two weeks ago the plant turned out it's first bale of the season and since then ginning has been done intermittently as the seed cotton arrived from the fields. Grad ually loads arriving at the gin are be- coming more numerous, giving all indi- cations that from now on the plant will be kept busy practically all of the time.
 Ginning this season will cost the grower from $25 to $27.50 per bale, the Attaway- Phelps company estab- fishing their rate at the former price.
 Cotton seed at present is selling for $20 per ton, which will barely pay for
 half of the ginning.
 Teachers Need Houses
 That there will be an acute short
 age of houses for teachers in the Mesa 1 schools to live in this year is already i apparent and Superintendent H. E. | Hendricks is issuing a call to all l townspeopIe to co-operate with his of I flee in locating the new teachers as they arrive. In speaking of the situa- l tion Wednesday, Prof. Hendricks said: ''The Mesa school district is growing very rapidly and this year the increase
 is such as to necessitate an increase 1 in the number of teachers who are
 employed. Many of these teachers are
 married. Teachers must live comfort
 ably in order to be happy and do good
 work, the same as other folks. Many 1 of the school patrons have telephoned l in, offering spare space in their homes, 1 but we as yet have not half enough
 room to place the faculty. We are in need of places where teachers may do light housekeeping, and small houses for families. If anyone has any rooms l to spare or houses for rent they will
 do their community a great service by l telephonfng the high school or letting the real estate dealers know about it." I Tickets Here for Fight
 Mesa's section of reserved seat
 tickets for the boxing program at
 Tally's arena on Labor day, next Mon

 traction at Tally's arena several days

 the Labor day program indicates that double that number will be taken by
 local fans. Ring side seats or others
