Goodrich and the Akron Tire Com
pany, of Ohio. Many prominent tire
men from all over the country toured
to the valley to make a personal in
spection Of the conditions here. They
were well pleased and signed up near
ly 10000 acres, guaranteeing the
farmers 60 cents a pound, and prom
ising more, should the present market
be higher.
Among the tire men that made in
spections of the valley were Frank
Goodrich and Barney Oldfeld, Of the
Oldfield Tire company.
Since the cotton was placed in the
ground, the price has dropped d num-
ber of times. Today it rests at 60
cents, the price guaranteed by the
manufacturing companies to t h c
growers.
1t has been said that the tire people
have cornered the American cotton
crop and are in a position to set the
price at any figure they may desire.
The fact a guarantee has been placed
kepes the figure at its present quote,
it is explained.
Probably a third Of the valley cot
ton planted this year is Of the long
staple variety. Should the market
price remain at the present figure il
is doubtful that the farmers will re-
plant pima next year.

CITY LIBRARY
SHOWS GROWTH
DUR|NCTHEYEAR

The growth of the Ell Cetro public
library during the past year has been.
the greatest in its history. New cards
were issued to borrowers this year,
and the total number of registrants is
given in the report of the librarian to
the board of trustees as 1923, with a
total circulation of books for the past
year of 42,274 books. This circulation
is an increase of 9,O43 over that of
last year. The circulation in the chill
dren's department has also shown a
large increase this year over that of
last.
The children's story hours have
proved very successful, in fact so sue
cessful that the large crowd attending
has made it necessary to hold most of
them on the lawn. The librarian urges
separate juvenile room in order that
the story hour and other children's
features may be carried on.
During the past year the library
has received and cataloged 486 new
books, making the total number of
books in the library 1888. Among
the books added this year is new
Encyclopaedia Britannica, Lippin-
colts Gazetteer, and new edition of
the Harvard Classics. The number of
books donated to the library this year
is 246. The library expresses their
thanks for these books to w. P. Hall,
Mrs. Lavinia Northcutt Ross T.
Hickcox, Mrs. Elizabeth Healey, Miss
larry Kelly and the United Lodge of
Theosophists.
Several permanent improvements
have been made which make the
cramped space much less, but the Ii
brarian says that soon an addition
must be provided in order that the
books may be properly handled.
New regulations permitting great
er number of non-fction and older fic-
tion books to be taken out has been
granted by the library. This permis-
sion has been very graciously used
and says the librarian never abused
by the registrants at the library.
The financial report of the librarian
as given to the board of trustees, is
published below:
