BARRAGE OF NOISE
 DESCENDS ON CITY
 ES BOYS CELEBRATE

Phoenix was enclosed in box bar rage of truly warlike proportions yes terday, albeit that scant damage was done by the burning of so much gun powder.
 Just without the city limits at al most any point and at almost any time there could be seen groups of small boys with smoking punk in one hand, a bunch of fire crackers in the other and burned places on both.
 Not much pyrotechnical activity was apparent within the Jurisdiction of the city police, as the patriotic youngsters had no mind for being taken by the big cop on the corner. The county officials are more lenient Tn the matter of allow ing small boys to get their fingers burned and make all the noise they please, so an exodus to the outskirts of town was participated in by every boy who had a bunch of fire crackers but who didn't have a suitable place to shoot them.
 A great many boys went clear down to the river to escape possible inter ference by the law, and shot fire crack CTS to their hearts content far from the danger of looming policemen or ner- vous parents.
 Exactly how much arnica and peroX- but it is estimated that the resultant drain on the supply available in Phoe nix is something to be compared with the gasoline shortage and is equally as deplorable 10 the economist.

WORK ON PART TIME
 PLAN IF EDUCATION

A special committee of those en- gagged in the cause of education in and near Phoenix met Saturday in the school administration building to con- slider the part time plan of education for children who are unable to attend school regularly, and also to outline a method of providing an education for those children who work in the cotton fields, with especial regard to the Mex ican boys and girls.
 The meeting was attended by Prof. J. D. Loper, superintendent of the city schools; Dr. R. H. H. Blome, director of vocational education; J. T. Ryan. supervisor of industrial education; Charles Stauffer. and others. While the part time plan is obligatory upon the schools of the state, providing, as if does, that children who work or are kept from regular attendance at school must be given at least 150 hours of school work each year, there are a few difficulties in the road as far as Phoe- nix and it's environs are concerned, and the committee was therefore un- able to come to a decision. Another meeting, however. will be held about the middle of the month. when it is believed a definite method of proceed ure will be decided upon.

TWO GRASS FIRES
 SET BY FIREWORKS

Two grass fires. caused by explod- ing fireworks in the hands of small boys whose patriotism exceeded their caution. were put out by the fire de- partment without much trouble yester- day afternoon.
 The first of the confIagrations oc- cured at Ninth and Fillmore streets at 2:10 o'clock. The second fire broke out al little later in an alley on Third ave nue between Jefferson and Madison streets.
 Very little trouble was caused the fire department, however, this Fourth of July, and no damage was done to property other than a few charred places where the fire had been quickly stopped.
 The department was called upon to put out a. fire in the roofing Of the seed warehouse Of the Mccall Cotton com peny at 5:99 o'clock Saturday night. Although the fire was out of the city limits and therefore not within the regular scope Of the Phoenix fire de- partment one truck company responG- cd and put out the blaze. Slight dam ages to the warehouse were reported.

MOVE TO ASSURE HIGH QUALITY
 IF COTTON SEED
Campaign Is Launched to Protect Quality of Valley Pima Seed-Will Keep It Purest Cotton Seed in World

Salt River valley Pima cotton seed is the only pure seed of this superfine cotton in the world, and this is the basic reason why a movement was started Saturday to throw further guarantees around the high quality of the seed, and to work out methods of providing much larger quantities of "pedigreed seed'' than in the past
 At the general meeting of represen- tatiNeS of cotton growers and cotton growers organizations which was held last Saturday at the chamber of com merce constructive plans were laid, as well as destructive.
 Not only was a committee appointed to see that the short cotton admitted to exist on the experiment station is not allowed to bloom and thus contam- mate the pure seed supply. but in q large way a foundation was laid to provide a greater and wider future supply of seed of the finest possible quality.
 Appoint Committee
 The meeting, under the auspices of the county farm bureau, appointed q committee to work out means and methods to secure this result, consist ing of Warren H. Parker, chairman Robert F. Garnett, Max Cottrell, H. C. l Heard. Leonard Nets. J. M. Walthal and W. c. Wells. This committed ! llON Oiliy represents the NdElOuS NllS- tricts, but the various interests and organizations in the valley. It will be their duty to plan a practical way oi extending and enlarging the plan that has, through the Tempe exchange, sc successfully provided pedigreed seed for the Pima industry until the re- markable expansion of this year made it impossible for them to take care oi the situation.
 The need for this work came to lighr 1 during the discussion of the menace | from the short cotton at the station i It was shown that the Yuma and I'm i perial district cannot produce pure 1 seed because they still have short cot 1 ton in those districts. All were 1 agreed that the southwest will go more and more to Pima as the finest of cot 1 ton, and because the industry is on 2 better basis the larger it grows, with 1 in all possible limits of production O this type, not to mention the fact tha l it is the most profitable sort To See Supervisors l Talks along this line. and showins 1 the production of pure seed were mad' l by W. S. Stevens, president of thu i Arizona division of the American Cot 1 ton associa ton, by $. H. Hastings, for merly u cotton breeding expert for tn 1 government and now with the South l west cotton company, W afFen farheI l and others, and the appointment of th' l committee was the result.
 1 Its first duty will be to get in toucl with pr. kearney upon his arrival il
 the valley, and in cooperation with hin
 have extra fields of fine type selected | for rogueing and seed breeding ant 1 preservation.
 A committee from most of the i'm
 portant and representative organiza
 lions to wait on the board Of super
 visors at it's next meeting in the mat
 ter of an appropriation for the eX 1 penses of the county agent will als'
 be appointed as a result of this meet ] ing. The exact personnel has not beel

 One sad feature of this convention is the scarcity of the old-time plug hat. But it has been a long, long trip for most of the delegates. And you can hardly expect a man to sleep four or five nights in succession in a plug hat.
 
 The oija board is not going to be used much during this convention. Too many of the boys can't spell enough to work one.
 
 Nobody is going to hang up his stockings when he goes to bed. All the boys believe in a political Santa Claus but they know he ism coming around this years convention.
