coICon by students from a textile school that builds character.
 The man who built the mill, who to large extent financed the mill, and who is responsible for the fact that it has demonstrated the superiority of Pima cotton for fine spinning, is in Phoenix His name is c. H. Deal and. besides being textile expert, he has been for number of years a Method lst missionary in Korea where he also built a mill fer the production of fine textiles.
 Has Double Mission Here
 MT. Deal is here for two purposes: to buy the next years supply of Pima cotton from members of the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers association, which is responsible for his visit the cotton to be purchased, from the members on the basis of the exchange of Textile institute bonds bearing per cent annually, for the cotton The second object is to ad- vertise among the growers of Pima cotton the fine character cloth" made from it. and arrange for its distribu- ton direct to the consumers This als,, probably will be arranged througb the association
 Tn the mill districts of the south,s said Mir Deal yesterday, there live upward Of a million people, small ten ant farmers and people from the moun- tain districts, who came down to work Tn the textile industry. They are from the purest American Anglo-Saxon stock in the country. They and their children are working in the mills, with out training and without education
 Feeling the urgent need of a means Of educating and training these people, who themselves feel the need of this training and education, the Textile In dustrial institute was started nine years ago by one man with a vision. the Rev. D. E. Camak, a Methodist minister, on capital of $100 and with one married mill operative with a fam fly as the only student
 A Model Textile Mill
 The school grew steadily, II is founded on the unvarying basis of each student being supporting. The students worked a week in some nearby mil, thus earning enough to go to school for two weeks, and thus each person enrolled in the school was en- urely self supporting.
 President CamaK soon saw the need or mill owned by the school. to be model of it's kind and to help make the school sef-supporting. On my return from Korea Rev. MT. Camak and myself conferred on the matter and determined to build this mill.
 We went to the presidents of the cotton mills and told them that We wanted to train textile experts to work in the mills, and they contributed. We interviewed the manufacturers of mill machinery, told them of the school and US ldeal, and they contributed the ma chinery for the mill.
 From 150 persons in 20 states we raised S115,000, and we started to build the mill. It is now completed ana in successful operation and is rapidly putting the school on a self supporting basis, besides being used as a laboratory of the finest kind for the training of expert textile workers. We are manufacturing a new class or goods. made on a new basis, and called Character Cloth
 "Character Cloth" From Pima
 Tt is called Character Cloth be- cause we put character into the cloth. instead Of being made as cheaply as the public will accept it, it is made as good as it can be made. regardless of expense, and yet is sold for less than inferior goods made from inferior cot ton. It is also called Character Cloth because 1t is made in a Character fac SS SIuuelLS engaged 1n building characte1 As Character Cloth is solo entirely by mail from the mill to the consumer, it is sold on a character oasis another reason for calling it Character Cloth!'
 When the mill was planned and Cloth was to be manufactured were the principles on which Character worked out we did not know of the eAlstance of as fine cotton as Pima. ana expected to use Sea. Island cotton. me our mill was under construction we exhibited at the Methodist Cen 1 Iehary Exposition at Columbus. Ohio. several looms manufacturing Char acter Cloth from Sea Island cotton. the yarns having been prepared bv a commercial mill under our specified tlons for this particular occasion.
 During the exposition two gentle men rom the Salt River valley. ]. Stanley Howard and l.. $. Townsend both members of the Arizona Ameri can Egyptian Cotton Growers asso- clat1on, visited our exhibit and told us about the wonderful cotton raised in Arizona
 Finest Cotton For Finest Cloth
 They explained to us that Pima cotton was the finest cotton grown anywhere on earth, and that if we expected to make the finest cloth in the world, and expeced to call ii character Cloth we certainly should
