MOTHER OF
COWPER

THERE are some men who are
Il more sensitive to the gentle
influence Of q woman than to the
sterner and more rigid guidance
Of a man. And to such men
home life and the character of
the woman who makes it agree
able is most important.
William Cowper, the talented
English poet. was a sensitive ma
ture upon whom sympathy and
tenderness made a deep, impress
sion even when he was a mere
child. For this reason his mother,
who died when he was only six
years old. exerted a lasting Influ-
ence over him. This was evident
when he received a photograph
of her 35 years after her death
and he wrote: "She died when
wanted two days of being six
years old; yet remember her per-
fectly, find the picture a strong
likeness Of her. and. because her
memory has been ever precious to
me, have written a poem on the
receipt Of It,"
There was intellect in both
branches of William Cowper's
parental stock. Anne Dome was
the daughter of Roger Dome.
who was descended from the ia
nous satirist and divine, DIR.
Donne, dean of st. Paurs. Her
husband was one of the chaplains
of King George the Second and
came of a very ancient family.

That act was signed. Then

teachers how were you going to
get them into the homes? But q
last the educators and the tax
payers got the idea. And when
the foreign-born mothers saw
their children growing away from
them, into a life TO which they
had no key-they got the idea
too. So today in California, for.

They are learning not only the

Business conditions have main

have been felt most communities
show evidence of improvement

last year. A summary of reports
from manufacturing, distributing

business of the first half of 1926
registered another general adj
vance," says the June edition OF
the Arizona Business Review is
sued by the Arizona Industrial
Congress.
Opening of the cantaloupe sea-
son with assurance of a record
movement has been the main new
development in agricultural ac-
tivities. Shipments from the Salt
River Valley up to and including
July s were 1,055 cars, with an
estimated total of at least 4,5O0
compared to 5000 last year. Cot
ton acreage in the state shows a
small increase over last season,
according to the first government
report, which places it at 10000
acres. Grain harvest has been
favorable and the excellent condi-
ton of alfalfa gives prospects Of
increased hay production.
Fine range conditions have been
maintained over grazing areas OF
the state, and condition of both
cattle and sheep is very good.
With spring cattle movement over,
interest is turning to the fall
shipping season.
The mining situation has been
practically unchanged. Produc-
ton is going ahead at the normal
rate of the past year, and develop
ment of new properties has re-
mained active.
Principal developments in the
large construction program under
way in the state have been as

AGRICULTURE

The agricultural season has en-
tered the summer with favorable
indications. The cantaloupe crop
is a record one; cotton has done
excellently; tame hay shows the
best condition in some years and
production should materially ex-
ceed last years, and small grain
harvest has been finished in the
southern valleys with good yields.
Cantaloupe shipments from the
Salt River Valley aggregated l.
055 cars to July 6, against $50 to
the same date in 1925, and the
seasons total is estimated at A.
500 or more. Yuma shipped 90
cars of cantaloupes and 112 OF
watermelons during June, with
movement of the former con-
tinuing. Market prospects are IA
vorable. More than 100 cars Of
grapes will move from the Salt
River and Florence-Casa Grande
Valleys, a number having been
shipped the first week in July.
Federal inspection service obtain
ed for the cantaloupe and grape
season through efforts of the In
dustrial Congress is proving mark
edly successful.
Cotton acreage in the state this
year shows some increase over
last. according to the first gov
ernment report, giving acreage
and condition figures as Of June
rs. Total acreage for the state is
placed at $4,000, against 16S,-
900 at that time last year, OF
which 10000 were harvested.
Condition Of the crop on that date
was given as 81 per cent. Private
estimates give acreage Of Pima IN
Maricopa county as 3o,oOo'
against 10000 last season.
Further increase in mixed vege-
table growing in the irrigated Sec
tions is indicated for next fall and
winter. Considerable ain in let
tuce acreage is already reported.
LIVESTOCK
Livestock and ranges have con-
tinued in an unusually good con-
dition, with promise of good sup
plies Of feed throughout the sum-
mer and prospects that even with
less than normal summer pre-
cipitation ample feed will be avail
able for the winter season. The
remarkable improvement that has
taken place in range conditions
during the past year is best shown
bv the June livestock report OF
the Department of Agriculture,
which gave the condition of Ari-
zona ranges as 105 per cent OF
normal, compared to. 81 per cent

THE primary election is out OF
= the way. The democrats, re-
publicans and so-called independ-
ents have nominated their tickets
and the free for all fight for cleo
ton in November is now under
way.
Throughout the entire pre-pri-
mary campaign the bitterness be-
tween the two factions in the re-
publican party was carefully kept
alive. The Hartley faction was
just as vicious in this as was the
anti-Hartley clique and neither
group paid any attention to what
the ultimate outcome would be.
There are strong possibilities
now that the net result of the Hart
ley anti-Tartley struggle will mean
two years from now the election
of a democratic governor. It is
not beyond reason to predict the
state for the first time since 1916
will go democratic.
There is little chance under the
direct primary law of Hartley ev-
er being defeated for renomina-
ton. He is the republican party
governor. He has the prestige of
the office plus the state admins
trative machine which is going to
be added to and increased during
