Who Wants Dog?

was a nice young collie dog at
that school which he would pre-
sent to anyone who would give
the dog q good home. The notice
appeared in The. Republican on
Wednesday morning.
Feeling that hs had done his
duty by the dog and hoping that
some one would appear who
would want the animal, Mr.. Ryks
did not give the matter much
further thought.
But yesterday morning he was
reminded Of it by the early call
ers W no inquired about the anil
NAL and wanted to give him the
requested home. They came by
ones and by tWos, each one OF
the first couple wanting to take
the dog, so, at the suggestion of
MIR. Ryks, they matched coins and
the winner was declared the

carnations Of the valley to Arthur
hlltler, one of the biggest cotton mill
owheis IN Europe, who is now on his
way TO the United States
II Is reported that Mr.. Kuffler con-
erols some 81 Mg cotton mills in
Czecho- Slovakia and Austria, and is
said to be one of the worlds greatest
textile experts. The following tele-
gram was sent by local civic and
here;
X. M. Turner,
Los Angeles, Cal.
The undersigned organizations rep
resenting the cotton interests, finan-
clal and business interests OF the Salt
River valley take pleasure in extend
ing through YOU the most cordial in
Nltation to Arthur Kuffler to visit
Phoenix and the salt River valley
while in America in connection with
the toll plan OF cotton consignment.
Please Impress upon our dis
tinguished guest that this section
produces the finest and longest staple
cotton in America In commercial
quantities and that the undersigned
also control the sale or disposition of
a majority Of this fine cotton and
that we are interested in hearing
from him of the conditions in the
spinning trade in Europe and of the
successful operation of the toll plan.
We have had a presentation OF
the plan by Messrs. Nesbit and Wood
of the Warrant Warehouse company
, some months; ago In which we were
greatly interested and are keenly de-
sirous of meeting Mr.. Kuffler per-
sonally. We desire to thank you
for the opportunity Of extending this
invitation.
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce,
Maricopa County Bankers
Association,
Arizona Pimacotton Growers,
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
The mills controlled by Mr.. Kuffler
are now operating on the so-called
law toll plan, owing to the fact that
the rate of foreign exchange makes
ii impossible for these countries TO
buy cotton and manufacture it at q
profit.
on the other hand, it is claimed
that the toll plan OF manufacture en-
ables the mills to make profit ana
keep running. and brings large re-
turns to the growers. In case Mr..
KuffIer accepts the invitation to visit
the valley the people here will be able
to secure first hand information on
the working of the plan. Some
months ago Messrs. Nesbit and Wood
of the Warrant Warehouse company
We're in Phoenix and presented the
plan before the bankers association
and the Arizona Pimacotton Growers.
AS the distinguished visitor is now
on the high seas enroute no answer
