NEWS

GLENDALE, Nov. 2S-Now that the
peak of the cotton picking season is
over the Arizona Cotton Growers as
ISOLATION has discontinued the shipping
of pickers from Mexico into the Glen
dale district. Since some time in the
summer, when arrangements were
made to ship laborers into the valley
to aid the farmers in picking their cot
ton, some 1000 pickers were shipped
into the Glendale district besides a
number of Indians from the Navajo
reservation in the northern part of the
state
Also, there has been great deal of
congestion at the gins, but the point
has now been reached when the farm
ers can get quicker action on account
of the less cotton being hauled in and
the gins will have a chance to catch up.
Accepts Position
c. A. Novis, resident of Glendale has
accepted a position in Phoenix in the
shoe department of Korricks' store,
just helping out during the rush.
