NO. BIS A GIRL SAFE?


When l left Monroe to come east,
my mother was anxious. New York,
my people felt, was unsafe for
young girl. Everyone said l would
be surrounded by dangers-on the
streets, in the hotel, at the theater,
in the movie studio.
/ wondered about this | have been
in New York several weeks, and have
now reached this conclusion:
That there are plenty of dangers
for the sillv girl. And that the girl
of common sense and modest beha-
vior can avoid them.
In other words, it all depends on
the girl herself.
The first thing that startled me in
New York was the way the girls and
women dressed.
A girl wearing a bathing suit or
ball gown on the street is bound to
! attract attention from men. If she
also does her hair in a freakish way,
rouges her cheeks till she looks to be
dying of fever, paints her lips like
brick wall and applies powder with
the effect of having dived for an apple
in flour barrel on Halloween, every
man who stares at her knows he has
right to.
Advertised For II
If the man insults her, such a girl
usually turns upon him in a rage.
Yet she has only herself to blame
She not only invited trouble. She
advertised for it.
One night when ran out late to
post some letters, a man spoke to
me.
Good evening" he said, you're
in a hurry"
/ paid no attention, though / was
, scared half to death.
you're too pretty" he went on,
sticking close to my elbow, ''to be
out alone"
stopped and turned squarely to-
ward him.
"You have made a mistake" said
in an ordinary tone, feeling that if
| took a "How dare you" attitude he
would only laugh and go on talking.
81 do not wish to be annoyed. Please
CO."
He stared back at me for an in
slant started to speak, stopped, took
off his hat awkwardly and walked
quickly away with sheepish gein. I
hurried on. did my errand and re-
turned to the hotel.
That was the only episode of the
kind that occurred.
The Hotel Detective.
Another thing happened, though,
that was kind of funny.
One night Cousin Edna and | got
home from the theater rather late.
Friend Lady left US at the door in
cab, and we went to our rooms,
forgetting 70 take our key from the
desk. Edna volunteered to go back
for it.
AS she went down in the elevator,
an elderly man appeared in the cor
ridor, looked at me curiously and
said:
81 beg pardon, little girl, are you
waiting for sometime? Can | direct
you-help you in any way?"
mo, thank you" / answered. 81
am staying here. I'm just waiting
for nv cousin to come with the key
we forgot it."
He looked puzzled.
"You are stopping at this hotel?"

believed by the company that fully 1000 bales of cotton would be produced on that acreage. At the figures esti- mated by the Southwest Cotton com lanv. this means an investment of oRe, a million dollars in the Yuma valley for the company. And it is needless to say that this sum will tide the Yuma valley over any financial stringency that may arise.
 Mir Collier wants the farmers to un- dcrstand that the price of soc a pound for long staple cotton is based upon the grade of extra or No. 2. Growers of the Yuma valley are particularly warned by the cotton company to pick their cotton clean. as dirty cotton can only be sold at much lower price and. perhaps. not at all. MT. Collier em- phasized the necessity of clean cotton by stating that the mills would not accept dirty cotton and that, of course. with no market the Southwest Cotton company would not buy it. There is Ia difference of lie a pound between the lowest and highest grades of long staple cotton. and 1t can be readily seen by the farmer that it behooves him to have his cotton picked clean.
 At the present time the Southwest Cotton company Is purchasing cotton that they contracted for earlier in the year. When the market will open for free lance' cotton MT. Collier would not state.

For some highly ludicrous situations, brought about with an adroitness and extraordinary in comedy bordering upon farce. ~Parlor, Bed room and Bath" presented locally for the first time last evening at the Co- lumbia theater. certainly exceeds in entertainment value any picture seen in a considerable period of time. The laughs begin almost with the first flicker of the film, and they do not cease with the appearance of The End" Scores among the audience last night chuclxled reminiscently over the screen version of this Broadway com edy success as they sought their hats and the street.

REPORTED MOVING OF LONG COTTON
 IN YUMA VALLEY

IEs Long staple cotton grown under contract for the Southwest Cotton l19company In the Yuma valley is now being purchased by that company, ac- cording Go the Yuma Sun. The first buying this season under those con- tracts started Saturday. october 9, the report says. The Southe--t Cotton company has 9600 acres of cotton un- der contract in that valley, which it is believed win produce 45OO bales of cotton. according to the report.
 Following Is the announcement in the Yuma Sun:
 True to their pledges made earlier in the year. the Southwest Cotton company Yesterday began purchasing long staple cotton at a minimum of Soc per pound. The cotton purchased was contracted for earlier in the year at which time the Southwest Cotton company guaranteed the farmers of the Yuma valley who would sign up with them for the planting of long-staple cotton minimum price of COG per pound.
 The iong- staple cotton season is just beginning. The two gins of the South west Cotton company have completed the installation of all machinery and arc now In a position to take care of the longer staple. The cotton situation is looking very favorable, according to
 
 agent of the Southwest Cotton com pany. 'I believe" said Mir. Collier yes terday Co a Sun reporter, that the Yuma valley will produce at least a minimum Of half a bale of cotton Go the acre. And fl the frost holds of until late in the fall that averake will 60 co three quarters. I know of some farms in the Yuma valley that will make bale of long-staple cotton Co the acre."
 When asked regarding the purchas- ing of cotton. Mir. Collier said "We are merely buying cotton now to keen our pledges Co tho farmers. It isn't because we need the cotton. but be- cause we promised the farmers we would buy their long staple cotton And we are paying the agreed price of soc per pound"
 In regard to tho amount of cotton purchased. Mir. Collier declared that hs would purchase every bale of long. staple cotton which was grown under contract with the Southwest CottOr company. MT.

In thorough keeping with the announced policy of this house to offer the very finest of attractions on the vaudeville bills. the current show is an even bigger value than the for ner one. Comedians. dancers. sketch artists. monologue funsters, and dazzling chorus costumed more gor- geously than the average travelling musical show are all features of the lineup, and the entire show is being augmented by the showing of a feature motion picture. The Ramona's policy of no advance in prices has struck a very popular response, and the house is crowded = sstt= utmost at each show.
