Hobby for Humanity Inspires
Taylor Holmes, Screen Star,
to Keep i'm Touch With Fans

AS Mencken and Nathan would say,
add American credo: That all movie
stars receive hundreds Of letters, which
are promptly nled In tho wastebaskst.
There il q half truth In this con-
ception, for letters by the hundreds
and even thousands pour in upon the
screen stars, but Taylor Holmes. star
in the screen versions Of Nothing but
the Truth" "The Very Idea" and
Nothing but Lies," brought new light
to bear on the matter Of the waste
basket Ale.
1t seems that Taylor Holiness hobby
Is for getting in touch with his audi
ences; perhaps 1t might even be said
that human nature Is his hobby. This
was not what he said, you understand,
but much may be guessed from tho
enthusiasm with which he spoke. OF
the matters which must rest under the
veil Of secrecy forever he had spoken
courteously, with the courtesy that one
employs for the extremely aged. But
with the mention Of letters his en-
thusiasm came.
when l was on tho stage I used to
get occasional letters" said Mr.. Holmes,

gan to come in by the hundreds.
asked other stars who had been on
the stage II their experience had been
the same, and found that all motion
picture stars receive hundreds of let
ters where the stage star receives ono.
Somehow the footlights seem to shut
the audience off from the stage star,
while the actors as they appear on
the screen seem to come closer to the
hearts Of their audience.

going into motion pictures l went to
the banker where kept my few pen
nies and told him that l had been
offered chance to act for the screen.
"He was very skeptical. They can
never replace the human voice. he de-
clared positively. People go to the
theater to hear the human voice and
they'll never make the motion pictures
successful ! interrupted him at that
point and told him Of trip that /
had just made through the Middle
West, In the course Of which I had
seen audiences in motion picture
theaters applaud their favorites as
they appeared on the screen, Just as
the audiences In New York applaud
their stage favorites. He was tre-
mendously impressed, and, excusinQ

and the 1000 to 10000 acres which will go into cotton in this valley this year 1t would be greater had not the preparing of land been restricted by the shortage of pumping plant machinery and delay in the installation of plants. This delay has been through no fault of the machinery house agents, but through the inability of their firms to make inn mediate deliveries. The machinery manufacturers have had their troubles. Nevertheless the big increase in cot ton raising will make a wonderful change in Casa Grande the trading center of the valley adjacent to the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad.
 Casa Grande, the rapid growing little main line town, is undergoing a great transformation. Its people are filled with the "booSt and do something spirit. New dwelling houses are being erected in the city proper and in all the additions, some of which have just been admitted into the corporate limits. Every contractor and builder is busy and the houses are springing up all over, not in any particular section of the city, but taking a healthy spread over the residence districts in general. Lots that could have been purchased for $50 in 1913, $75 in 1917, s125 in 1918, are now brin ging S350 to $400. The parts of Casa Grande considered subur- ban in 1916 are now in the center of the city. New business houses have been constructed, streets have been graded. new additions surveyed and plated, and a general stir of activity is constantly going on The metal shops making water tanks for residential and

has not let the contract to date.
 In addition to the acreage put under cultivation by the members of the Casa Grande Cotton Growers associa- tion, it is probable that large amount of land owned by Salt River people who have purchased their holdings this year will be planted co the white fiber that is bringing a flood of gold to Mari copa and Pinal counties. Realizing that land could be bought near Florence or Casa Grande for almost what it would take to lease it in the Salt River valley there has been a lively fall of land selling, leasing and renting. Also. peO- pie from every state in the Union have purchased land in this valley this year. They are having it prepared for planting as fast as labor can perform the job In some instances where the delay of pumping machinery will pre- vent~ the getting in. of cotton. the owners will plant sorghums for harvesting this fall : Many will also plant alfalfa which at present brings $25 at the farm, no matter how many miles out from Casa Grande on good road.
 At the present time the lettuce crop near Toltec is ready for shipment. The growers calculate that it will take 7o to 100 cars to move the crop. This is the first year lettuce has been raised
 
 senting large produce houses on the Pacific coast, are enthusiastic over the showing made. Next year it is eX- pected that many hundreds of acres will be planted to leuuce providing the market prices guarantee the fine profits which the growers expect to make this year.
 The demand for cotton land will re- suit in but a small acreage going into cantaloupes thH year, but what does go in, probably 200 acres will be planted to selected salmon tinted melon seed, and the crates for packing will be on the ground when called for use. Last years trouble in securing crates hurt the chances of the cantaloupe buyers in inducing the farmers to plant next spring. The 150 acres that will be put in will be planted by farmer who is backed by a Los Angeles produce house which is speculating on the shortage of the melon crop for 1920.
 As great as the comparison is be- tween the 2,500 acres planted in 1919

pumping plant use have increased their capacity for output and added to the payroll many men. The numerous auto mobile garages and machine shops have all the work they can handle. Every business and line of industry is hitting the ball.
 The best barometer of business, and one every practical business man looks at in making a move into a new coun- try is the bank showings of the cities in the county he expects, is figuring on moving to. The Casa Grande bank S growth has been reflecting the growth of this city. But a few years old it's deposits have increased so that at the report of the bank made Decem- Der ST. 1919, showed a total of s349, 234.12
 In Casa Grande there are over % real estate agents and all seem busy selling country property and lots ir the new additions. Many more realty operators have offices in Phoenix and Los Angeles and are constantly bring ing buyers into the valley.
 With the big increase in labor neces- sary to handle the cotton crop the merchants of this city are looking for ward to trade to continue brisk through the summer months, and Casa Grandt will continue to prosper and hold tho name of being the biggest little city ir the southwest

DEVELOPMENT |S
 RAPID IN CASA GRANDE VALLEY

Cotton is to be the big feature crop m the Casa Grande valley this year. over 3,500 acres will be planted at the Casa Grande end of the valley and the country tributary to Florence will +nave a large acreage. The Casa Grande cotton Growers association, through lts secretary County Agricultural Agent Wildermuth, has received a shipment of Pima seed from Tempe and 1t has been apportioned to the growers. Another shipment is expected in few days.
 During the season of 1920 less than 2,3o0 acres of long staple Pima was raised in the agricultural section of Pinal county and the big increase for thls year will make a wonderful show Ing. The county won second place for seed cotton at the state fair last fall, and second and third place for lint cotton. It won third ribbon at the international soil exhibit in Kansas City in 1919 and expects to walk away with all the ribbons next fall The Casa Grande valley is the home of the Pima cotton. It was propogated at the Pima India reservation experi- mental station after a number of years experimenting by government cotton experts, and it is recognized by the cotton authorities of the world a be- ing the finest cotton grown.
 Recognizing the necessity for gin in Casa Grande the merchants of that city raised fund of $3,000 to purchase a gin and warehouse site, the warehouse to be owned and controlled by the farmers, and the gin proposition left open to outside capital for investment. It is understood that a number of cot ton men are eager to build the gin, but the Cotton Growers associa ton
