TOLL PLAN MAY
MOVE ARIZONA
COTTONS STOCKS

A meeting that may prove Of
sgreat Importance to Arizona cotton
Interests was held in Birmingham,
Alabama, last week when some of the
leading cotton men of the southern
states and California met with
Arthur Kuffler, owner of the great
cotton mills around Prague and
Vienna and " Il. Freeman of Free
man, Sumner & Company of New
York and London. the European
resident representative OF the Ameri-
can cotton shippers.
The purpose of the meeting was TO
perfect the details of what is known
as the Toll plan and to acquaint the
cotton growers of the district with
its operation to date.
This plan was originated to bring
into cooperation the southern tar-
mer, who could not dispose OF his
cotton, and the European mill owner,
who was anxious to purchase it, but
on account of the exchange, was un-
able to do so through the ordinary
commercial channels.
The plan involves the shipping of
cotton to Europe. its manufacture
into cloth, its sale S cloth. and the
return of the major portion of the
proceeds to the American grower.
The operation takes several months
to complete, but the returns have
justified the delay in payment.
The Montner. Kuffler company
mills, which spin some of the finest
cloth in Europe. were accustomed to
use about 10000 bales of American
cotton a month. A year ago they
were using 5000: they are now using
coo bales a month. The majority
OF this is American cotton, though
about one third comes from East
India
The returns on short staple cotton
to the southern grower, who shipped
under the early operation Of the plan
were about 40 cents n pound, more
han twice what he could have Sc
cured locally.
1t is Of interest to Arizona cotton
growers that three mills in the Kuff-
Ter group use nothing but long staple
Arizona republican., 1922-02-18

cotton. These are the Tannwald
mills, the Bribbsh and the Liebieg
mills, totaling 100000 spindles.
AS the mills have not been able TO
secure enough Egyptian cotton they
have turned to California and Ari-
zona to complete their needs. The
Bakersfield district. California, has
shipped some 500 bales, and several
carloads of Arizona cotton have al
ready left Phoenix.
The thorough trial Of Arizona Pima
cotton was urged on the European
visitors and an agreement was made
by which the early shipment of Ari-
zona cotton would be furthered in
every way possible, so that returns
might be made earlier than ordinar-
ily, and a confidence in the work
ability Of the plan established here.
The cotton that left last week was
graded and tested at the Farmers
Ginning company at Six Points, and
sent TO the California agent of the
Warrant Warehouse company of
Birmingham, which company acts as
the agent for the grower, insuring
his cotton, collecting and distribut-
ing the returns therefrom. Further
shipments will go forward next
week.

CLEVER ACTING
BY LOCAL TALENT

"Obstinancy' and AN Amusing
Predicament" given by the dramatic
department of the Arizona School of
Music under the direction of Mrs.
Dwight Earl Easley last night for
the benefit of the Girl Reserves was
a most decided success and finished
professionally. The comedy parts
throughout were very cleverly pre-
sented and were keenly appreciated
by the audience.
Perlie Marston, who played the lead
in "Obstinancy," played her part
most charmingly and was ably sup
ported by Phillip Maxwell Harvey,
Lille McFee, Winnie Hopes, Orley
Isles and Novis Taylor, all of whom
were extremely clever in their res
pective character portrayals.
The second act of AN Amusing
Predicament" made a very pretty
picture with the girls all in evening
dress. Alice Chapman in the comedy
role and Betty Palmer and Marriott
Fields in the emotional roles did some
exceptionally clever acting.

ENGINEER EXPLAINS
R|LED APPEARANCE
Of NEW CITY WATER

Cause for the appearance of par
ticles OF sand and a somewhat rolled
aSpearauCe in the city water in come
sections was explained by City En-
gineer l.. p. Hitchcock yesterday.
From an increased pressure has
resulted, naturally, an increased vel
ocity in the flow of water through the
city mains" he said, giving as an
illustration for the point bucket
filled from faucet with pressure
Of 40 pounds and one with a. pressure
of 60 pounds. The bucket under
the faucet of greater pressure would
be filled more quickly he said. This
increased velocity in the city mains
has disturbed deposits in the old
pipes and caused a slight discolora-
ton of the water"
This disturbance is accentuated, he
explained, through change in the
direction of the flow of water in the
distributing mains. Formerly the
center of distribution was from the
pumping plant at Ninth and Van Bu-
rem streets. But at the present time,
pending completion of the S0-inch
line now being laid from Twelfth
street and Mcdowell road to the
present water plant, the center OF
distribution is at Ninth avenue and
Washington street. This forces the
flow westward where it-had been in
the opposite direction. The old hard
water left deposits of calcareous mat
ter is also attributable to the old
current tends TO loosen them, thus
cauisng a cloudiness.
The appearance of sand in the wa
tare is also attributable TO the old
supply. To meet an unusually heavy
demand last summer the pumps were
forced to draw to the extreme limit.
The extraordinarily heavy pumping
brought up sand. which was gradual
ly deposited in the mains. The in
creased pressure from the opening of
the new system is now forcing this
sand on through the pipes.
THE disturbance consequent upon
the opening of a new system and the
introduction of greater pressure and
velocity will soon pass and Phoenix
will begin to enjoy the finest soft
water obtainable,' was Mr.. Hitch
cocks opinion.

YUMA CATTLEMAN To
CONFER WITH BOARD

]. II. AIaxey. rancher and cattle
man from Yuma, is in town to confer
with the state certification board
with regard to the resale of bonds
for the Yuma irrigation project, in
which he is heavily interested.
These bonds have been sold once,
according 10 Mr.. Maxey, but in order
that holders may have a right to re-
sell them members Of the company
must go before the certification
board and show that bonds and prof.
ect are still a good investment.
Things are looking up down Yuma
way. Mr.. Maxey says. They are
feeding many cattle and prices are
going up, so that cattlemen need not
feel discouraged. Business is also
steadily improving, and Yuma county
is undertaking some new road work.
Contracts have been let for ten
miles of highway between Yuma and
Welton. which when completed viii
make 40 miles OF good roadway be-
tween Phoenix and Yuma. Another
contract will be let in the near fu-
ture which will complete the road
from Welton to the county line.
OF particular interest to farmers is
Mr.. Maxey's statement that grape
growers from Fresno are coming into
Yuma county. Already many vine
yards varying in size from 10 acres
to 100 acres have been planted, ana
everything points to the southern
county becoming as famous for its
grapes as the California county
which the growers left. They claim
that the sunshine and air as well as
the soil make better table and wine
grape than can be grown in the
Golden state.
Mr.. Maxey will leave for Yuma as
soon as his work here is completed.

one of the men under arrest as one
of the three participants in the hold
up. The holdup took place about S
o'clock at night at time when the
Central avenue was crowded with
traffic.
Cox alleges in his complaint that
masked men drove up to the station
in a Chandler car. One of the three
covered him with revolver and
forced bin to open the cash register,
while another Of the trio rifled the
till. The third man, he said. sat at
the wheel of the car. The car used
by the men, Cox said. bore a mon
ogram "a. X. S." on the rear door.
Officers later learned that the car
used by the holdup men was one

DECLARES WEAKNESS
.OF LIFE IS IN HOME

"The real weakness OF American
life today lies in the weakness OF
the American home" was the dec
laration of former Vice President
Thomas r. Marshall TO an audience
OF about 200 who attended the Father
and Son meeting in the First Pres
byterian church last night. In eX-
planning his statement the speaker
said:
This has come about, not by in
tention, but because of a wrong ideal
which fathers see as a life goal for
their sons. The average father OF
today is working hard and making
sacrifices in order 10 keep his boy
from having to undergo hardships
he has suffered And that is a false
ideal"
Rather than strive to give the COM
ing generation a life of ease. he said,
1t is better 10 eliminate the money
element to a certain extent in favor
of character building.
Touching upon national issues the
former president said:
Il am for any movement which
looks toward world peace, whether
that be the League of Nations. the
treaty OF the four powers or 40 horse
power. ! was for the League of Ma
tions The nation turned down this
league but J am still for the ma
ton.

flee.
