purpose of selling stock, or leases, or hot air-or whatever it is they have to peddle to an excited clientele that often comes out at the short end.
 It is true that at this time there are good investments to be had here in oil stocks, leases and real estate-but for the benefit of the public we desire to announce that Holbrook is not a seething mass of humanity with a fever and an excited market for oil stocks and lands.
 Just on the eve of the bringing in of all oil fields, there is a riot of ex- citement among a certain lot of pix CTS that owe themselves a. dime and have hard time to pay it.
 The men who are really doing the pioneer work of developing this field are not making unnecessary noise about it-neither are they concealing any development that has been made.
 The Adamana is giving actual de- velOpments each week over the sig nature of it's manager in the News, and the other companies are free in giving out the actual facts.
 The situation is, however, interest ing at present, and the expected may happen at any time-but for the pro lection of the investing public they are warned not to consume too much of the first gas-for it has asphyx- lated many a poor sucker.

the west, he pointed out the fallacy of sending new men to Washington and thus forfeiting the seniority and rec ognition of Arizona in the national councils that had taken years of hard work to acquire; just at this critical time, when the assistance of congress is so much desired for the successful termination of many proposed proj- ects that are now pending-projects that mean so much to Arizona in this, the most critical period of her history, when she is struggling to maintain her place in the reconstruction per iod that is now upon us.
 He paid a glowing tribute to E. S. Clark, who carried out of Navajo county in the recent primaries an en- dorsement almost to a man, and judg- ing from the present outlook, the honors that were paid Clark in the primaries will fall to Marcus A. Smith at the coming election-if for no oth- CT reason than to hold the prestige that his long service in Washington has gained for us-in order that Ari- zona may be in a position to use that prestige in the furtherance of the many important projects that are now in the balance, and those to come in the near future.

SIDELIGHTS ON THE
 FRISKY SIDESTEPPERS

There is blood on the moon in the democratic ranks and blood on the moon in the republican ranks, and a backup scheduled for the endorsers of a certain candidate for a seat at the supervisors table.
 One candidate, who stubbed his toe in the primaries says "that he will never vote another democratic ticket; that the democrats don't know good supervisor lumber when they see it, and they put him in the cull pile when he was a select" Wouldn't that splinter you?
 We all get buncoed now and then in politics, but the rawest job ever at tempted was the one put up on the un- suspecting bunch that culled the can didates at the primaries by one of the selects.
 Haven't heard it yet?
 Well, sometime before the primar- ies, the non-partisan league, in an eff fort to get "true blue" material on the ticket, sent a questionnaire to all the candidates who had developed ambi- tions, inquiring their first names first, and then one question led to another until they knew just where they stood on every issue, and other questions involving their status quo down to and emitting the one they should have asked: Are you loyal to your po- litical friends?"
 Two candidates passed the mental examination for supervisor, and To, they were both nominated.
 They stood in class by themselves, honored by victory at the primaries and given the Navajo de cinch medal,

WHEELER CONTESTS
 PRIMARY RETURNS

Charles De Sales Wheeler, who sought the democratic nomination for secretary of state in the primary cleo tion in this state September 2, last, Thursday caused contest to be filed in the superior court at Phoenix against Harry s. Ross, who has been officially certified by the secretary of state as the party's nominee on the basis of the official canvass of votes by boards of supervisors of all coun- ties in the state. Wheeler's complaint alleged errors in the counting of all votes and the canvassing of returns in various counties and claimed that "Charles De Sales Wheeler did receive the highest number of votes for such party nomination" The court issued a summons to Ross, allowing him ten days in which to file answer after the service of the summons.

ERNEST HALL FOR
 SECRETARY OF STATE

Ernest Hall, republican candidate for secretary of state, who, by the way, is the only ex-service man that got by the lines in the recent primar- ies, was in Holbrook this week lining up the voters. He served overseas in the same company with Simms Ely, of the Holbrook- State bank, and is the favorite candidate of the Ameri- can Legion; has been a taxpayer in Arizona for eighteen years; an ex- newspaper man; miner; a rancher; a senator; general foreman for the state highway department, and is qualified for this important office by education, ability and experience-and with all these qualifications stands a good show to be the next secretary of state in Arizona.

Arizona gained more than half of its 1910 population, now having 333,- 273 inhabitants. Its increase was 128,919 or 63.1 per cent.
 The states of Arizona and North Carolina were shown in population an- nouncements by the census bureau Monday to have had during the past ten years the largest numerical in creases in their history. Kansas, an- other state for which the population was announced showed it's second low est numerical growth and as result fell from it's rank as twenty-second state in the Union to below Oklahoma and Louisiana.

WHO SAID THE FISH
 SEASON WAS CLOSED ?

Everything has been quiet and se- rene along the shore line of the recent scrimmage for the nomination of county attorney, for the past few days, generally speaking, but many seasoned nimrods have felt little tugs and observed the ripples on the sup posedly placid waters, that indicate there is something below the surface that might come up at any time-in spite of the splashes that have been made to frighten it away. And this week Joseph S. Fish, of Snowflake, was landed in the political arena for county attorney by his friends, and announced as the prize catch of the season. It is predicted that he will come down from the pines with a good string of votes, and Holbrook and Winslow will be counted upon to string enough to land him high and dry in the county attorneys office. Thos. R. Greer will now hold on with both hands, for he's got some travel ing to do if he succeeds in spearing Fish.

considered as essential to the success ful production of cotton
 Picking Egyptian cotton requires greater care and is more expensive than picking Upland cotton, owing to the smaller size of the Egyptian bolls and the necessity of avoiding mixing in leaves and small pieces of bolls. In picking the long staple cotton it is es pecialiy important to keep the seed cotton clean, otherwise the grade of lint is impaired and it's selling value is much reduced The Egyptian cot ton growers of the Salt Rive: valley have had to pay their cotton pickers at least twice as much per pound of seed cotton as the growers of big boiled Up land cotton in the Imperial Valley.
 Notwithstanding this seeming dis advantage. the problem of picking the cIop ofsthe Salt River valley has met with success. The work has been paid ar rates which allowed the pickers to make satisfactory wages. Although tf.e industry has developed rapidly no serious shortage has yet been felt This has been due to the fact that the grow CTS through an active organization

COTTON PLANTING
 NOW CHANGED FROM
 ORIGINAL METHOD

There is no place in the world where the Egyptian cotton plant makes a more luxurious growth than In the Salt River valley Because of this fact it was thought necessary first to plant the rows wide apart. as much as five feet in some cases, and to thin severely. leaving the plants finally from two ana q half to three feet apart in the row. Under these conditions each plant attained a large size and pro- produced several long vegetative branches or limbs
 It was also customary at first to do the thinning or chopping as it is called when the plants were very small and had only two or three leaves in ad- dit.cn to the seed leaves. While this system of planting and thinning some tunes gave good yields, it was found that the crop was so late in maturing as to be in danger of frost injury in the autumn, and also that the large size of the plants and their numerous vegetatiVe branches made it very diff ficult and expensive to pick.
 Closer investigation of the branching habits of the plant developed the fact that these troublesome vegetative branches could be suppressed by delay ing the thinning until the plants were eight or ten inches high anr have ten or twelve normal leaves, and by

GLENDALE COTTON PAYS FOR RANCHES
 PLANTED. TO CROP

The Glendale district has produced some remarkable examples of the money to be made from the raising Of cotton. From figures secured by the Glendale District Commercial club, it can readily be seen that many ran chers have practically paid for their land in a single year.
 The following statement issued by the Commercial club, is a persuasive argument in favor Of raising at least an occasional crop of cotton: Average cost of blowing, discing planting. cultivatinS, irrigating, pick ing. ginning, etc. an acre of long staple cotton in the Glendale District of Ari- zona in 1919 was sS250. The average production was above half bale 10 the acre. The average price received was S1 cents per pound. Many ran chers averaged a bale to the acre. Many secured S.3 cents q pound for their crop. Many show net returns os from S250 to $350 an acre. but talk ing minimum figures, half bale t250 pounds Of lint after sinning) brought S2e2.50 Less expense of SS2.5O, there remains s120 an acre net profit.
 Here is proof that these figures are not only conservative, but minimum;
 Ernest A. Leitzel, Box 43. Route !, Glendale, states: "On 4-5 acres l har vested 6 bales ana Sb poundS, III Other words 2,s60 pounds (of seed cotton) per acre. which l sold for s2,4S7.52, or ss54.61 per acre, gross. and can still pick a little more.'
 Charles Campbell, John Waggoner, T. P Brooks. J. F. Lewis and dozens Of others have records Of a bale an acre
 A typical case that might be dup Heated in many instances, is that ot one rancher. who in January, 1919, purchased 20 acres in the Glendale District at $500 an acre. He paid s2,O00 cash, balance at s per cent. He spent another $2,000 putting in his cotton crop. By December 1 he had picked and sold g bales frcm his 20 acres. He received an average price of 50 cents per pound, or S4e0 per bale. His gross return was s9.20o. He deducted the s2.0O0 paid on the land; the S2,OO0 expended on the crop, and the s320 in terest on the deferred payment, paid the balance of s4,000 due on the pur- chase price. and still had sSS0 in hand.

have attacked the problem in bus mess like manner. In the first place many of the farmers had only a small acreage. and they and their families were able to do most Of the picking. This distribution of acreage among small farmers is very desirable here ane is being encouraged more anu more. There remained, however, a large number of ranches where hun dreds of acres were to be picked. To accomplish this end, a supply of labor was imported from Mexico, the float ing population of the valley was drawn on and number of Indians, whose habits are more or less migratory, were impressed into service. Cotton DICK ing to the Indian becomes more or less of an avocation and he soon comes tu look forward to the picking period as one of profit and recreation.
 The present indications are that IT the labor problem can be properly solved for this district. the future of the industry is assured. at least so long as prices remain anywhere near. their present level. ff
