Taking the Sting Out

"It seems to me-" said the old fashioned man, "that $75 is a lot of money to pay for a ready made suit of clothes"
 Perhaps it is," replied the pur- chaser, "but the salesman made the transaction as painless for me as pos sible."
 "How so?"
 "He told me the same suit would probably cost $100 next year."-Bir- mingham Age-Herald.

$l,0O0,0OO LAND
 DEAL CLOSED BY
 s. S.W.COTT0N co,

The largest single holding of culti- vated land in the Salt River valley changed hands Thursday night, when the Southwest Cotton company pur- chased the town of Marinette and nearly 5000 acres of adjacent land from R. P. Davie of this city. The total consideration was $1,00O,000.
 Rumors have been current here for a month that the big Davie tract was to be sold, but the deal was not def initely closed until midnight Thurs day, when officials of the Southwest Cotton company signed the papers at the office of the Phoenix Title and Trust company.
 "We purchased the Marinette pro- ject because of the large acreage, be- cause it can be handled economically in conjunction with our Ltchfield op- eerations, and because of the adaptabil- ity of the land to Pima cotton," Rob. ert c. Metzler, secretary and treasur- CT of the Southwest Cotton company, said yesterday afternoon. "This giv- es us total acreage in the Salt River valley of about 10000 acres, of which 35,000 are under cultivation.
 To Develop Property
 "The development of the Davie property will go forward as rapidly as possible, and we will probably con- struct at the town of Marinette new gin for the coming ginning season. The entire town will be laid out anew and modern dwellings will be con- structed for our employees.
 Options have been secured on many pieces of land adjoining this property and some can logically be purchased and made a part of the project proper. Those pieces falling in this class will probably be pur- chased and developed very soon."
 The Marinette property now owned by the Southwest Cotton company lies about the town of Marinette, some IA miles northwest of Phoenix, on the Santa Fe, the railroad going through the tract, thus assuring am pie transportation facilities. The property consists of more than 75U0 acres, of which 5000 are in cotton.
 Overcome Difficulties
 The property is virtually an inde- pendent project in itself, its water supply being pumped from drilled wells on the property, the lift vary ing from 30 to more than 100 feet, according to location. The wells are distributed over the entire holdings, and tap the Agua Fria basin. In cer- tain seasons considerable water is al- so taken from the Agua Fria by grav- ity by the Marinette canal, and waste water also is obtained at times from the Water Users canal north of Peoria, being siphoned under the New River.
 MT. Davie has held the Marinette property about 12 or IS years, it is understood, and has received much credit for the way in which he has developed the. big project in the face of difficulties. Cultivation has been carried on under the individual leas- ing system.
 The Marinette property is but eight miles from the Litchfield properties of the Southwest Cotton company, though hitherto not connected. The announcement that the town of Mar inette would be laid out anew was considered last night as presaging an

The Unfortunate Commuter

Too late! The saddest words in all our tongue.
 Disheveled and weary, the stout suburbanite sank gasping on a seat in the railway station, and glared at the rear end ofthe train he had just miss ed. r.; h
 To him came the pompous, fussy station-master.
 Were you trying to catch that train, sir?" he asked.
 The panting would-be passenger eyed him balefully for a second before he hissed in reply:
 "Oh, no! I merely wished to chase it out of the station!"-Houston Post.
