ANNUAL MEETING
 COTTON GROWERS
 FEBRUARY Y ID 2O

The annual meeting of the members of the American Cotton association has been called by President J. S- Wannamaker to meet in Montgomery, Alabama. February 1f-20. inclusive. This will probably be one of the most largely attended and most important conventions ever held in the south There has been active competition be- tween number of the largest south ern cities for the honor of holding this. convention. The result of the canvass of the official votes which was com pleted today by committee of the officials that Montgomery has won out by d handsome majority.
 It is the plan of the American Cot ton association to urge the attendance of the representatives not only from every county. but, if possible. from every township of every county in the entire cotton growing section of America. In addition to this. there will he q large attendance from every section of the south.
 Many subjects of intense interest. not only to the cotton industry. but to the entire south and nation will be discussed and definite action taken upon same at the convention. Among some of the important subjects to be handled will be:
 Uniform warehouse systems for the entire south with warehouse for each county. owned and controlled by the people of the county. sufficient 10 hold the cotton produced therein.
 Uniform warehouse receipts.
 \ spot market exchange in the south. with a chain of warehouses of certiffcation which will absolutely revolutionize the cotton industry in itself
 The labor question will receive very careful consideration. there being a great scarcity ana shortage of labor and this win have a marked bearing upon the crops to be planted in 1920. OR account of the great shortage of labor the matter of acreage to be planted in feed and food crops and cotton for the coming year will re- ceive special attention. At no time in the last sixty years has the matter Of shortage of labor had a more serious bearing upon production in the south. II is realized that it will be absolutely necessary to plant an acreage that can be cultivated under these adverse labor conditions and food crops re- quiring least labor. that can he pro- duced equally as profitably will. un-

MRS. 4. ]. WHITEHALL ID HEAD ROOSEVELT ASSN. INTEREST HERE

NEW YORK Jan. 3I = Mrs. John Henry Hammond. president of the Woman's Roosevelt Memorciaf assocsa- ton, announced today that the inter ests of the association in Arizona will be in the hands of Mrs. A. J. Wetherin of Rayenta, NaVaya Indian ReserNa- = tion.
 Having known the Roosevelt family fer wears, Mrs. Netherill was suggested for state chairman by Mrs. Richard Derby. formerly Miss Ethel Roosevelt. During her long residence in Arizona, Mrs. Wetherill has become intimately acquainted with Indian life and GUS toms. She is spending the winter at tEe University of Arizona, where she s writing a history Of the Navajos and their legends.
 At her request. Sam Chief. the most noted medicine man of the Navajo tribe has made sand pictures for the benefit of the fund to be used to re- store the birthplace of Theodore Roose- velt- on East 20th stret as a national center of AmericaniSm.
 ArzOna's quota for the Woman's $ Roosevelt Memorial association is 5000.
Arizona republican., 1920-02-02

der these conditions show an enorm- ous increase in acreage
 A permanent orga niZation including every county of every state where cotton is grown will be completed at this convention
 As a result of a tremendous number of letters received from every section of the south it has been decided to admit ladies to the sessions of the convention and the national convention will take steps to form woman's aux diaries for the entire south.
 A newspaper or periodical to be known as the official organ of the American Cotton association will re- ceive the special attention of the con vention.
 As the result of the enormous growth of the association it will be necessary to systematiZe the work of the association which will result probably in the necessity of installing six departments under experts with q full set of stenographers and clerks.
 The matter of direct sales of cotton will receive marked attention. Rep resentatives from European countries expected to attend the convention for the purpose of arranging direct sales of cotton.
 movement will be started at the convention to urge the installation in the various colleges of the south de partment for teaching cotton grading. stapling. fibreing. exporting: in fact. to teach the marketing side and busi ness side of cotton the same as is now done in England This in itself offers wonderful field for the improvement and development of the cotton indus try in the south.
 The matter Of the election of off cerS for the ensuing year will. of course, be acted upon at the conveh tion.
 As a result of the work of the American Cotton association. not only cotton. but the entire south. has been written about. talked about and dis cussed from the rostrum probably more than the combined period since cotton was first introduced into America. As a result, enormous benefits have come 10 the south and the cotton industry. Many economic reforms have been put into effect and force.
 Special requests have been made to each state president. to the governor of each state. the commissioners of agriculture, warehouse commissioners presidents of farmers unions. presi- dents of bankers associa tions and other officials to name delegates for this convention. Montgomery is mak ing every preparation ts make this enc of the most successful conventions ever held in the south.
 The national board of directors. and the national executive committee of the American Cotton association and the national organization committee are called to meet at the same time.
 Special addresses will be made by leading speakers of national reputa- tion and a general discussion of the various subjects will be open to all members.
 Special committees. the national board of directors, executive commit tee and national organization commit tee are urged to reach Mont gomery on the 16th. as they will have a tremend- ous volume of preliminary work to transact

TEMPE. Feb 2.-Among the many new homes that are being built in Tempe those belonging to Allen Perry and ErS. HalStead on East Eighth street. The Perry home has been completed and the family have moved into .it. The Halstead home is not yet finished but the HalSteads are expecting to be able to move in soon. These new houses as well as the many other new structures on Eighth street help greatly in the appearance of this section of the town.
 Plans are being made by one of Tempe'S citiZeTs to erect on the tract of land just south of the high school. about 8 modern cottages. which will be ready to be rented. This will indeed be great improvement. Heretofore il has been impossible for tourists and other winter residents to secure any kind of housing accommodations.

Little Stories
 Of The Town

It's just like being in France, this adJutant general job. is according to Walter =. Ingalls,. who happens just now to be serving in that capacity in this state and to be in command or | major. He expects pretty quick to have q troop of cavalry. and then two more troops, and pretty soon d regl- fnent but just now his army consists of Major George S. Martin. The a. E. started for Stafford last Monday morn ing. omitted breakfast at home. as he vas in a hurry. missed breakfast down town as the street car did the usual thing, caught the train and there was delay on the line. so he missed his lunch also. and finally he reached Saf- ford and secured breakfast at 7:30 D. m. Ingalls, didn't mind such a trifling an noyance, he says, as he never ate at all when fighting in the Spanish War and he used to miss d meal every once in while when over in France. His friends say that he is a dandy at mak ing up for lost time whenever he strikes a grub-pile.
 Decrying the yellow Journalism of The Arizona Republican, Secretary C. C. Lewis of the state water commis- sioners office says it is shame to leave the public all up in the air along With a blown-up munition works in Mexico and 1hat this paper did just that in its Confessions of A Bride story last Saturday. He asks the editor tc be less yellow and to at least allow the fragments of the munitions work to come down before ending the days installment. Otherwise. he says. The Republican is O. K, but those inter rEpted confessions of bride are mak- ing him d nervous wreck.
 Business has been good at police headquarters recently. An average Of about 20 guests a day have enjoyed room and board at the city jail. Stolen goods have been reported and recoV- cred in larger quantities than ever be- fore.
 So when Chief of Police Brisbois was asked what he estimated the popula- ton of Phoenix to be. he answered without hesitation that it was in eX- cess of 5000.
 Upon what do you base your esti- mate?" was the next question. The chief quickly retorted:
 Base it on the number of complaints we receive here at police headquarters.

 Everett True writes to The Arizona Republican to express his appreciation for the Monday story of three weeks ago in which Everett expressed him se If in no uncertain terms about that tattered flag on the city hall. Thanks to his attitude on the subject the city la last week ran up brand new flag. Everett says that the newspa pers, with his help, are responsible for a great deal of good in this world.
 Either Phoenix and the enVirons thereof used to he whole lot hotter than it is nowadays, or else the dear peepul' of 70 years ago were an ex- tremely hardy lot, according to Colonel J. H. McClintock, state historian, who has a bunch of pictures in his archives showing the earlier residents running about in fall fashions that would make d E. V. D. covering look like an over coat. His pictures, beautifully executed Autographs, are in a war department volume dated 1850. and are regarded as highly reliable The colonel is

 Truthful Arthur, well known man about town and coca cola bon-vivant, rises to ask The Republican how to spell prescription" some drug stores have it, or prescription" at least one leading drug store has it. Arthur says he likes to have words spelled two ways as it gives him some thing to think about besides wondering ii F'renchmen wouldn't make the best traffic cops.
 Why girls leave home may not be a definitely settled problem yet, but why janitors quit the capitol is fully eX plained in the complaint that one of them made recently to somebody in the board of public institutions. He says it's the democrats the third floor that bother him: that they sim ply will not differentiate between the cEspidors and the waste paper baskets.
