The Cotton Industry
Cotton is the most important farm
crop in this section Of the country.
Many farmers give up their entire
farm to the raising of cotton. Last
year $4,000 bales ct cotton were
marketed here on the streets Of Ard
more and 1150vo We're shipped IN to
! the compress.
Early in the spring the farmers are
busy with their preparations for
planting which begins as soon us the
danger from frost is over. In most
of Oklahoma the farmers have 20 wait
until April. The seeds are planted
in rows about fcur feet apart and
when the plants are two or three
inches high they are thinned out. Tne
distance between the plants is detcrm'
ined by the fertility Of the soil the
kind of plant to be grown.
In former years, one negro did all
the work. He would first plow the
field. then go over 1t and drop the
seed. Then he would go over the
field adding fertilizer and covering
the seed at the same time. At the
present time. on some farms one ma
chine does all this work at one time.
The two varieties of cotton known
best in the United States are the sea
island and the, upland or short staple
cotton.
The sea.island cotton gets its name
from the fact that 1t was originally
grown on the islands near South Caro-
lima and Georgia. 1t is considered the
best cotton in the world and much
Of it is shipped to Europe and is
there made into muslins and other
high grade cloth.

THIS IS 5. \. DAY FOR BIZ DRIVE AT
 HIGH SCHOOL
Plans Are Made for Demon stration Which Is EX- pected To Add Much To F7und-Many More Work CTS are Needed

Today is Salvation Army day at Phoenix Union high school.
 Plans have been completed for q snappy one-day drive for funds which is expected to net $25O for the organiz- atfon if every student and teacher does his part Every studnet is expected to bring a quarter for the cause, if possible. Scattered around at various advantageous spots on the campus will be Salvation Army kettles. suspended from tripods. These devices will be presided over by fair members of the student body. thus making it an easy matter to part with the required coin.
 The campaign was launched yester- day at an assembly of the students at which the plans were discussed and talks delivered by prominent Phoeni- clans.
 w. w. Carpenter. chairman of the day. first introduced Dr. Kennedy, committee chairman for the state in the present drive He delviered a very forceful address on tlre relation be- tween the Salvation Army and the Elks lodge. He spoke of the reasons why the Ell1s had taken upon them selves the responsibility of being a big brother to the Army, the many great services of which he touched upon very effectively.
 "Doughnuts" at Front
 Captain Harding of the Salvation Army. also was introduced al the as sembly. He made a strong appeal to the students to be liberal in their do- nations to the cause.
 C. D. Jones then took the floor and clinched the arguments already pre- sented by an interesting account of the work of "Doughnuts" at the front in France His characteristic speech was received with enthusiasm by the stu dents.
 The ready responses to appeals for subscriptions is wonderful tribute to the estimation in which the Saliva ton Army is held" said Chairman Luke Henderson. Saturday night when we had speakers at all of the { local theaters and young ladies solicit | ing funds in the aisles for the Salva- ton Army home building. there was not a suspicion of impatience at the interruption. but all seemed glad of the opportunity to help the cause along More than $100 was given by fans al the ball game yesterday, which was collected by the players before the

passenger agent, and L. H. Chalmers, counsel for the santa F'e, were present at the hearing and will meet with of ficials of the Arizona Eastern to fur ther discuss the plans.
 The attitude of the Arizona Eastern as presented by MT. Bullard follows: Arizona Corporation Commission,
 State House, Phoenix, Ariz. Gentlemen;
 I am authorized by the president of the Arizona Eastern Railroad company, Col. Epes Randolph, to report to you that the Arizona Eastern Railroad company is willing to improve it's pas senger station facilities in the city of Phoenix, and that such improvement will be made in either one of two ways:
 First, by the establishment and con struction of a union depot that will serve both the Arizona Eastern Rail- road company and the Santa F'e, Pres colt &, Phoenix Railway company; or,
 Secondly, by the construction of a separate passenger depot for the use of the Arizona Eastern Railroad company and one that will be adequate to oc- commodate those patrons and be com mensurate with the size of the city of Phoenix.
 Of the above indicated methods. the Arizona Eastern Railroad company prefers the establishment of a union depot.
 No agreement has yet been reached between the carriers as to whether or

Roads Are Willing
 While representatives of both roads expressed their willingness to improve 1epot facilities, time was asked in which to submit plans The first sug- yestion of the union depot came from c. M Scott, general manager of the Arizona Eastern. who presented the eiews of Epes Randolph, president Of the road. which were set forth in let ter by George Purdy Rullard, solicitor. Commissioner F. A. Jones stated that .he door had been left open to the rail- roads as to location and whether union or single depots be built. He said while The matter had been discussed only dn- formally, the commission and the city were unanimous for a union station He pointed out that the union depot would be economical to the road and convenient to the public.
 With the idea of securing main line through Phoenix. the Arizona Eastern stated it would welcome the idea. No opposition was offered by the Santa Fe, and the two roads will cooperate and present plans to the commission as soon as possible. They were urged ito show the people" they were in. earnest about the matter by proceeding as rapidly as the plans could be presented.
