PROGRAM IF INTEREST MARKS MEETING IF. PHOENIX ROTARY CLUB

Presided over by the new president, John Brown, the Phoenix Rotary club held it's first meeting of the fiscal year yesterday noon at the '. M C. A. Lee t1tzhugh was chairman of the day and presided over a program which was declared to be one of thu best pre- sented in many months.
 w. 1T. Thomson, vice president of the Phoenix National bank, told the club of industrial and financial facts he had aScertained during his recent trip to the east. At New Orleans and Sa- vannah MT. Thomson interviewed cot ton men and inspected some of the great cotton warehouses in those cities Concerning long staple cotton, he was told by experts, he stated, that the length of the staple depended on the seed planted, while the character and strength depended on the soil. The raising of volunteer cotton in the valley was deplored. he said, experts declaring that the best results came from new planting each year.
 MT. Thomson visited Washington, New York City, Boston and Chicago. The feeling in the east is that money Is scarce, he said. They are not ex- pecting panic, they stated, but rather are endeayoring to prevent one. They feel that by gradually restricting credits they will arrive at that read iustment which is necessary. Eastern money men are uetlSnteu 10 learn, MT Thomson said, that the Salt River val ley will be a depositor in eastern banks this year instead of a borrower, which will not be the case in many instances. Cotton men in the east seemed to think, he said. that the future of the cotton industry in the Salt River valley is assured for the next few years. at least.
 Ed Carter, manager of Korrick's, gave a brief trade talk in which he compared the prices of goods today with those of few years ago.

'DROWNED' BOY WALKS IN JUST AT HEIGHT OF SEARCH FOR HIS BODY

After dragging with rakes the canal at Twelfth and Taylor streets for half an hour yesterday afternoon in an ef- fort to locate the body of a small boy reported to have been drowned there, Deputy Sheriffs Jim Troutman and w. c. Hastings were much surprised when a brother of the supposed drowned boy espied him coming down the street.
 About 3:30 o'clock a woman tele phoned the sheriffs office that an g. year boy had just fallen into the canal at Twelfth and Taylor streets. The two deputies were sent at once. When they reached the scene, quite a crowd had gathered and men were dragging the canal with ral1es. Under the direction of Deputy Troutman, the search was continued. One lady liv- ing near by brought several bathing suits from her home for the use of the officers in entering the water of the canal. The distracted mother of the boy was notified and came to the spot.
 Then Raymond, who was supposed to be in the canal, appeared in flesh and blood and the search was called off. He gave no evidence of having been in the canal. The report, it is said, was originated by an Indian girl, who said she had seen Raymond fall into the canal.

NO ONE AT HOME AS
 HOUSE CATCHES FIRE

Fire at Eleventh avenue and Fill more street caused about $500 Gamags to the home of J. F. Ivey late yester- day afternoon. No one was at home at the time the fire started and the department was unable to ascertain its cause. There was also a small rub bish fire at the corner of Tenth ave nue and Jefferson street yesterday afternoon.
 Too many people are failing to ob serve the warning of the fire whistle and turn off their water hydrants," was the complaint made by Fire Chief Simmons yesterday following these fires. At q very serious fire the other day, I noticed that neighbors to the burning structure continued to spray their lawns. They did not seem to realize that every lawn hose in use at the time of a fire materially cuts down the water pressure and inter feres with fire fighting. The fire whistle is sounded to warn people to turn off their water hydrants, and it is highly important that the warning be observed."
