FORM NE W WATER
 ASSOCIATION IN TEMPE DISTRICT
Cotton Growers in High Line Country Meet to Perfect Organization to Prevent CrOn Loss

TEMPE, Aug. 5.-Shortage of irri- gation water for land under what is known as the High Line irrigation dis trict south and west of Tempe stands the cotton farmers of that district in line to lose as much as $250,000, ac- cording to conservative estimate made at a meeting of more than half a hundred of the growers interested held Wednesday night. The meeting was called primarily to perfect the or ganization of the High Line Water Re lief association and through it's off cers, committee and attorneys selected al the meeting plans are now being formulated to confer with the board of governors of the Water Users aSSo- citation with a view, if possible, of se- curing ample water for their cotton crops in the future.
 From an organization that was ten tatively formed some time ago, the farmers of the district Wednesday night organized the relief association and at the same time signed pledges to support it's committee and attorneys both morally and financially in what ever action was taken to alleviate the present water shortage conditions. MT Robertson and MT Gotechak, both land owners under tfe High Line, were made chairman and secretary respec- lively of the organization. The latter was also made temporary treasurer An executive committee of three was named, and the law firm of Kibbey, Bennett & Jencks of Phoenix was re- tained as the associations attorneys
 Though lacking an ample supply Of irrigation water for some years past the acute shortages was not felt until this season, when practically every thing in the district was planted to cotton, one of the growers of the dis trict said yesterday. Heretofore, with the acreage more evenly divided be- tween cotton, alfalfa and other crops, the cotton growers were able to secure water at the times when they needed 1t in the summer, he said. This year, however, with approximately 5000 or the $500 acres of the district in cot ton. more water is needed through the summer months, and the present lift pumps and water pipe of mile in length, through which the water is raised 40 feet, is of not sufficient ca pacity to meet the demand The pres ent run of water is about 40 per cent short of what is needed, it is said.
 Intervals of as much as 24 days be- tween runs of water have occurred this summer, it was stated at the meeting Wednesday night, and one grower who just secured water yesterday morning stated that his crop had gone 21 days. The cotton was decidedly dry, he said, and in many instances the fruit was falling off, even to such an extent that it was stopping up the furrows and making irrigation difficult.
 Through their attorneys, the High Line Relief association proposes to present the existing circumstances to the Water Users association and an effort will be made to insure more adequate supply of water in the fu- ture As a result of this years short age a number of suits for damages be- cause of the lack of irrigation water have been brought, it is said.

FOUGHT THE FLOWING BOWL
Eastern Monarchs and Religious Lead.
ers Long Ago Lifted Their Voices
Against Drunkenness.

Temperance movements and prOhfbi-
ton crusades date back at least 5000
years. It was China that first tried
to be bone-dry. Early reforms along
temperance lines are attributed to the
priests of India and Persia. But the
Chinese claim that in the eleventh CEN
fury before Christ their emperor, so
disguised over the prevalence Of drunk.
enness, ordered all the grapevines in
the kingdom uprooted.
A hundred years before this bone
dry effort, in the twelfth century be-
fore Christ King Wen tried partial re-
form In China. Wen. founder of the
Chou dynasty, promulgated an can
nouncement Against Drunkenness" ac-
cording to ancient Chinese documents
handed down by Confucius.
King Wen declared drinking has
long been a national vice." He or
dered that wine be used only in con-
nection with sacrifices-and even then
drunkenness was not to be tolerated.
The temperance reforms also ex-
listed in Egypt centuries before Christ.
Here's what teacher said to youth
who had been looking upon the flowing
bowl too freely:
Drink not beer to excess. The
words that come out of thy mouth
thou canst not recall. Thou dost fall
and break thy limbs and no one
reaches out hand to thee. ,rhy
comrades go on drinking: they stand
up and say: Away with this fellow
who is drunk If anyone should then
seek thee to ask counsel of thee, thou
'wOuldst be found lying In the dust
like little child"
