Y CONVENTION
 SUMMARIZED BY
 LOCAL DELEGATE

Reviewing the important issues which were settled at the sixth annual convention of the l. w C. A. Mrs. John Dennett, Jra president of the Phoenix association, presented her re- port at meeting of the executive heard yesterday. Mrs. Dennett and Mrs B. Lee Purvines, Another active worker, represented the local asso- ciation at the Cleveland conference in April, attended by 2,50O representatives from all parts of the United States and secretaries from the foreign fields.
 Tn her report Mrs. Dennett mentioned as the feature of the meeting the dis cussion of the student membership amendment, which was carried only aftre two days debate. The amend ment permits a simple declaration of faith as the basis of active voting membership instead of Protestant church utilization, which was formerly required. The question was the most important one that came before the convention, the supporters of the amendment representing for the most part the younger element of the as- sociation, and particularly championed by the 400 student delegates from practically all the women's universi- ties and colleges in this country.
 Approval of the work of the r w c. A. and the different actions taken by the convention was indicated. Mrs CSAAGlL SA4LSus HI lAlE SllL Ol S0UU,UOU to the endowment fund of the asso- citation by John D. Rockegeller from the Laura Spellman Rockefeller memo rial The gift increases the fund to $2,1O0,000. Action was taken by the convention to raise the fund to $10.- 100000 by January 1, 1925.
 Recommendations that the Y. ". C. A provide better housing facilities for young women, develop an extensive health education program and study the place and significance of the work in the life of women were approved by the delegates. Due to the increasing demand for woman labor in business and industry and the present made quate housing facilities, action was taken to have each local association, in cooperation with community agen- cies, make an examination of the housing facilities as they affect young women, to establish a suitable room registry and to develop additional res idences for young women living away from home.

Southwest Cotton company. said yes terday afternoon. This gives us a total acreage in the Salt River valley of about 10000 acres, of which 35,0O0 are under cultivation.
 To Develop Property
 The development of the Davie prop erty will go forward as rapidly as pos sible. and we will probably construct at the town of Marinette a 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 purchased and developed very sOon."
 The Marinette property now owned by the Southwest Cotton company lies about the town of Marinette, some 14 miles northwest of Phoenix, on the Santa Fe, the railroad going through the tract, thus assuring ample trans sists of more than 7500 acres, of which 5000 are in cotton.
 Overcome Difficulties
 The property Is virtually an inde- pendent project in itself, it's water supply being pumped from drilled wells on the property, the lift varying from 30 to more than 100 feet, according to location. The wells are distributed over the entire holdings, and tap the Agua F'ria basin. In certain seasons considerable water is also taken from the Agua F'ria by gravity by the Mar inette canal, and waste water also is obtained at times from the Water Users canal north of Peoria, being siphoned under the New river.
 Mir. Davie has held the Marinette property about 12 or B years. it is understood, and has received much

Papers Signed at Midnight Thursday Transferring Big Marinette Holdings
 of R. P. Davie of This City

The largest single holding of culti- vRted 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. F. Davie of this city The total consideration was s1,o0O, 900.
 Rumors have been current here for month that the big Davie tract was to be sold but the deal was not definitely 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 project because of the large acreage, because it can be handled economically in con junction with our Litchfield operations. and because of the adaptabilitv of the land to Pima cotton" Robert c. Metz Ter. secretary and treasurer of the

credit for the way in which he has de- veloped the big project in the face of difficulties. Cultivation has been car ried on under the individual leasing system.
 The Marinette property is but eight miles from the Litchfield properties of the Southwest Cotton company, though hitherto not connected. The announce- ment that the town of Marinette would be laid out anew was considered last night as presaging another model town on the desert" as the town of Litchfield is a model one in nearly every way. Marinette is considered to have greater possibilities from 1 commercial viewpoint than I.itchfield, though the. latter is regarded as full of promise in becoming a tourist center.
