conventional trained gown of white

Mrs. NJ. G. Williams of Birmingham,

of theT bride, as matron and maid OF

of the smart new summer frocks of

A POEM BY MRS BARBER,

Commemorating Mothers Day, Mrs.
Arlie Barber, talented member of the
Birmingham Quill club, has written a
pretty short poem in which her friends
are interested. This is one of several
she has written. having contributed ia
current magazines:
MOTHER LOVE
Like the touch of baby fingers
Is Mothers love to me;
Like the calm that follows storm
On deep and changing sea;
Like a rainbow spanning heaven
A bow of promise true;
fLike raindrops on the shingles
The darksome house thro
The restful, gentle things
That all around l see,
Are like the love of mother
A mothers love to me.

MINES WILL NOT CLOSE.

Phoenix, Jan. 19.-There are
no indications in the mining dis.
tricts in the southeastern and
eastern part of the state that
the mines expect to close down
on account of the present condi
tion of the copper market, Tom
G. Foster, state mine inspector.
declared today, following his re.
turn from an inspection trip
through the districts in Pima.
Santa Cruz, Cochise, Gila and
Pinal counties.
The mines are all working as
usual, Foster said, and the oper.
ators appear very optimistic, al.
though the present copper mark.
ct is one of the best. All of the
mines are working with about
the same force they had in the

general manager of the Illinois

I'm spite of this being a pre-

be a good one for the public

in general.
THE banking situation is

exceptionally bright.

STATE GETS AUTO FEES.

Phoenix, Jan. 19.-Partial re.
mittances OF fees collected by
the county assessors in nine of
the counties for the registration
of motor vehicles for 1924 dur.
ing the first fifteen days in Jan.
uary to James FL. Kerby, secre.
tary of state, total 500, $50, &C.
cording to a statement issued by
Mr.. Kerby.
Recently Mr.. Kerby wrote to
the assessors, asking partial re-
mittances of fees collected for
the first half of the month in
order that q remittance might be
made to the state highway de-
partment. Nine counties have
sent remittances.
Maricopa county sent the
largest amount, it's remittance
being $24,642. The amount sent
to Mr.. Kerby is far less than
one half of the total amount of
motor vehicle registration fees
to be collected during the month
of January.

DEADLY LOCO WEEDS.

From Cochise county comes
the news that loco weeds are
menacing, the lives of cattle in
the foothills of the Huachucas
and the Chiricahuas. The Bo-
quillas Land & Cattle company
is rounding up its stock in the
Huachucas and transferring
them down to the river pastures,
where the poisonous weeds are
not found. Other cattlemen in
the district are following the
same line of precaution.
The west side of the Huachu.
cas- in Santa Cruz county is also
said to be affected with this
weed, but no losses of cattle on
that account have been reported
from Santa Cruz.
Cattle eating this weed do not
care for any other kind Of food,
and as this weed contains no
nourishment, the weed acts only
as a drug, weakens them, and
the animal perishes quickly

William Thompson, secretary

also urged the appointment of a

appointment became effective on
January 16.
Mr.. Showers is a graduate of
the University of California, and
has had many years of ex-
perience in farming in Arizona
in the Salt River valley. He is
thoroughly informed in regard
to the practical side of cotton

Although his work will cover
the Wilde field of agronomy, a.
greater part of his time will be
applied to the cotton problem,
assisting the farmers in the state
in securing better seed and
adopting better practices in all
phases of cotton production.
