Montevallo, November u.-(SpeciaI)-- Armistice Day was observed at the Ala hama Technical Institute and College for Women, Montevallo. with a programme of patriotic songs and tribute to fallen heroes, giving during the chapel period Thursday.
 Observance of this day by indecorous hilarity was scorned by the Rev P. H. Carmichael in his address commemorating the anniversary of hostilities' cessation. Mr. Carmichael is pastor of the Presby- terian church in Montevallo. In men tidning the joy people felt at the coming of peace after season of war, and com paIing feelings over the most recent armistice in this country with those aris- ing over previous ones, he asked: "Can 1t be that those who have been saved from death by the cost of another's life can commemorate Armistice Day with any thing but reverence?"

Only 17,o0o bales have been pressed there this season, compared with 33,o00 up to the name date last year, it was stated
 The local compress serves a wide range of territory. extending appyoxi- nately 50 miles east and vest on the Southern railway and approximately 90 miles north and south on the Louis Vile and Nashville. The fact that the decrease in receipts here is nearly 90 per cent of the total handled last year to this date indicate the holding move rIent is not confined 10 this immediate section but has extended through northern Alabama and southern Ten Ees ee.
 The long standing controversy over tire account of the Alabama Water company and the city of Albany Is at an end. The Albany city council mas company in settlement of the charges against the municipality. The water company agrees to resume the payment of city taxes and licenses as soon as due. The amount involved. when nego- tiations were begun, included the city's water bills for a period of many years.

 ''Sauer is a big faVorite in Phoenix, the home guard believing him the equal of any man his weight in the country. In Samson they will have an opportunity of seeing a real head spins ming sensation.
 Bull Montana has just returned from Phoenix, where he was beaten by Sauer because of an injury. and he had a long workout in the gymnasium with Samson yesterday, showing the local boy Sauer's strong and weak points.
 Samson is the recognized 1S0- pound champion of the Pacific coast and has been defending his title against all corners. Like Sauer, he is only a youngster, full of pep, strength and enthusiasm, and fans are expecting something out of the ordinary when the pair get together in the same ring
 The Los Angeles boy is expected in Phoenix Monday morning. He wired local promoters yesterday to have training quarters ready for him in this city, as he plans an extentiye pro- gram in preparation for the match.
 "I fully realize the necessity of get ting acclimated to climatic conditions in Phoenix prior to my match with Sauer," Samson wired. For this req son I am going to do the bulk of my training in your city. I am not going to be handicapped because of the heat and I believe that with a few days

Two Games South of River Today-Mesa Is
 Host to Cotton Nine

With two Central Arizona league games scheduled for the southside on Sunday, both the Tempe and Mesa hines are working out hard on the diamond this week and both are strengthening at every possible point. Tempe and the Phoenix White SoX, both holding unmarred top notch fig ures in the percentage column, are billed to play in Tempe, while the Southwest Cotton company team of Phoenix, taken into the league this week in place of Superior, will show against the Mesa club.
 In Tempe what is considered by local fans as one of the strongest teams in the state, is being worked into shape. Stewart, of the University of Arizona, returned home this week and will work permanently on the pitching staff, while Jack O'Keefe, first sacI1er for the U. of A., is expected in today to spend the summer in Tempe and will hold down first base there. At third, Earl Brooks, former Tempe lad, and now at Cashion, has filled in the hole. Hegi at short and Wafford at second will retain their positions. Tomorrow s games between the two league leaders is enthusiastically awaited by Tempe fans.

Pete is one Of the most likeable fellows that has visited Phoenix in many days and his genial manner has won him hundreds of friends here during his short stay.
 Like Stecher, Sauer is a college man. He has not yet completed his educa- tion however, being obliged to put aside his books for few months.
 Announcement that women would be admitted free to the match when ac- com mpanied by a man has already at tracted much attention throughout the valley. as is evidenced by the num- Der of requests for seats.

 There are cotton picking machines on the market, but none of them is very satisfactory One of them oper ates on the principle of a vacuum cleaner, sucking the bolls off the plants through rubber tubes. Another utilizes steel bristles for entangling the bolls.
 When a really practical contrivance for the purpose is obtainable, an aver age farm family in the South will be able to produce 40 bales of cotton in a season, instead of seven bales.
