THE HOME MERCHANT

The home merchant. Who is he7
 He is the chap who gives you credit when you are financially broke, and carries your account until you are abaa to pay.
 He is the chap who giv6syou back your mon ev or makes exchanges when you are not sat isfied with what you have bought
 He is the chap who stands behind his guar antee, and makes restoration of all losses that you may sustain on the goods you buy.
 He is ike chap who meets you at the do"' with a handshake and lets you out with mes sage to thc "kds' and real come again Sood by.
 He is tue chap who meets and grectS you on the street every day in the year, and teI:"s d ncighboriy interest in your family and V"ur affairs.
 He is the chap whose clerks and bookkeep- CTS and other employees live in Cordova and spend their money with you and with other Cordova people,
 He is the chap who pays heavy taxes to help support our schools and build oud streets, and maintain our fire departments and light ing and water service.
 He Is the chap who helps support the local churches and charity movements, and lodges and commercial club, talks for Cordova and boosts for Cordova every day in the year.
 He is the chap who visits you when you are sick, sends flowers to your family when you die, and follows your body out to the ceme- tcry far as human feet may travel with the dead
 He is the nome mcrchant-your ncighbor'- your fricnd-your helper in times of need
 Don't you think that you ought to trade with him, and be his friend and his helper in thc time of his need!
 Don't you know that every dollar that you send out of Cordova for merchandise k sent to Strangcrs-to men who never spend d dollar in the town, to men who would not trust you for a box of matchcSyIto men who would turn you over to the police if you should enter their offices! H.r
 You don't save much, frequently nothing, when you send your money out of Cordova and you take all the risk yourself of short weight or measure and of getting damaged or inferior goods. Possibly if you and everybody else should trade at home. the merchant might afford to sell as chcapIy as do the big stores ln the big cities. And don't you know that the growth and prosperity of Cordova de bends very largely upon the success and pros pemty of the home merchants? Out of-town people judge our city by the appearance of our stores and the degree of enterprise shown by our merchants And our home merchants can not succeed unless home folks give them loyal support.

The Nonpartisan Leader, the of
fetal organ Of the Townleyites came
out this week in big red headlines
announcing two million dollars Of
North Dakota state bonds having
been sold. What wonderful thing
that was. The State of North Da-
kota had mortgaged it's credit for
two, million dollars to pay it's debts.
Debts that the taxpayers of North
Dakota had been taxed for and tax
les already paid into the state treas
urer. How long would a farmer or
businessman last in business if they
should mortgage their place Of
business in order to keep it going?
These $2,000,0OO have already been
spent and no one seems to be able
to say where the money has gone.
We hope that the voters of the
state will stop and reflect when
they go to the polls on the 28th day
of this month. If they vote for
Messrs Lemke, Frazier and Hagen
they vote to have the state credit
mortgaged to keep the administra-
tion going. If they vote to oust
them from Office they vote to get
the state back on a basis that is
self supporting without bonding.
Which is the best?

According to a speech made by
Sveinbjorn johnson, the Independ-
ent candidate for attorney general,
some of the Nonpartisan candidates
who are being impeached are fight
ing to be elected to keep out Of the
penitentiary. If they are defeated
there is not much doubt that they
have squandered money illegally,
and will be prosecuted and if they
can remain in office there will be no
one to prosecute them.

Burtness & sentiment against the
League heads has taken decided
trend since the election last fall and
the state Of affairs at Bismarck has
made great inroads into the Town
ley forces. ,sg q.
7 Congressman George M. Young,
who last week came out with a forr
NAL endorsement of the Nestos re-
call ticket, is equally optimistic re-
garding the outcome of the October
campaign, stating that the election
of r. A. Nestos as Governor of
North Dakota will initiate a "New
and better day" for the people Of
the state. In view of the legisla-
tive program before the House for
|ly that either Mr.. Burtness or Mr..
Young will be able to return to
North Dakota to take an active
campaign on the stump. House
members from the agricultural
Northwest have outlined a general
relief program to be initiated in the
interests of the farmers generally
and will need to be on the job in
full strength in order to gain the
ends desired. Then, too, there is
some likelihood Of the revenue bill
being returned to the House in
which event every effort will be
made to see the measure enacted
with every possible safeguard for
the interests of the Northwestern
states.
Senator Ladd is also back in
Washington, the junior Senator
having returned to- the Capitol sew
eral days ago. It is not known as
yet whether Mr.. Ladd will return
Ito the state for the recall election
or not but in view of the situation
in the Senate he will probably re-
main in Washington as we'll.
The treaty fight is on in the SEN
ate and with the Democratic opposi-
tion gradually getting together to
oppose the confirmation long fight
is at least in prospect. This will
necessitate delay in the revenue
bill unforeseen some weeks ago and
it may be weeks before the bill is
finally sent back to the House. The
fate of the tariff revision too, is be-
coming more uncertain from day to
clay. Leaders are already predic-
ting that a general tariff bill will
not be had at the present session
and with this opinion gaining
strength as it is an extension of the
Young emergency bill will probably
be made by the House as one Of its
first acts following the recess.

Maricopa County Farm bureau and the Arizona Pimacotton Growers to enable the Tempe Cotton exchange to save at least 750.00O pounds of ad- tiitionaI planting seed from the pres ent years crop
 (b) We suggest that the pure seed committee of the Maricopa County Farm bureau be authorized to arrange a conference between representatives of the Tempe Cotton exchange. the Pimacotton Growers, the Maricopa County Farm bureau for the purpose of devising WAYS and means by which the Tempe exchange may be enabled to provide for the requirements of the whole valley each year an ade- quate supply of Pima planting seed eligible for certification.
 2. In view of the fact that the United Stats department of agri- culture is continuing comparative tests of the various interesting va rieties of cotton which can be grown in this district and that the pro miscuous introduction and trial of different varieties of cotton by farm CTS affords great danger of con- dominating our present Pima variety. we recommend that the Maricopa County Farm bureau make every eff fort to discou age such activity.
 2. We recommend that the Mari copa County Farm bureau endorse and aid in every way within it's pow CT the efforts of the Arizona commis- sion of agriculture and horticulture to control and prevent the introduc- tion of dangerous insect pests, par ticulariy the boil wt evil and the pink boil worm.
 4 We Suggest that the Afaricopa County Farm bureau appoint a stand ing committee on seed certification and that this committee consist of not less than three nor more than five members one of ,hese to be the coun- ty agricultural agert.
 ,. Finally We recommend that in the certificatior of other classes of farm seeds that only seed stocks of a superior variety which are found to be of a pUe strain and the result of careful selection and intelligent breeding to be certified as pure seed" We believe that recognition and certificati Jn If superior varieties of farm seed stocks will result in a higher standard which in turn will mean higher yields and a more uni form product.

In order that the basis of the conclusions and recommenda- tions of this committee concerning pure Pima planting seed may be fully understood, the following statement of the procedure requisite to obtain ing and maintaining a planting seed supply of pure variety cotton is in cluded in our report:

Professor J. J. Thornber. director of the agricultural experiment sta tion. addressed chapel Monday morn ing on Campus Ornamentation." Among the interesting points of his speech was the explanation of the plant labels which are being erected on the campus. They are little rec tangles of heavy galvanized iron riveted to a three eishts inch gall vanized pipe two feet long and set into the ground in concrete. On the label is the Botanical name. the com mon name, and the native home of the plant. The labels are relatively inexpensive and are very neat and durable. Favorable comments have been received on them from other cities in the state. There is no spot in the state that has as large a vari- ety of cultivated ornamental species as the university campus, 70 per cenr of all the ornamental trees. shrubs. and vines in the state being on the campus.
