IPORTANT BULLETIN ON
THE COTTON SITUATION.
In view of the misunderstandings
and uncertainty caused by certain un
authorized statements in the press,
we are very glad to report to you, the
official telegram received from the
war loan organization in Washington
late Saturday afternoon, regarding
the cotton situation.
“The following announcement was
made today by the Cotton committee:
‘First the Committee will not recom
mend that a price be fixed on raw
cotton at the present time; nor will
it so recommend in any event before
sufficient time has elapsed to test
that effect as a stabilizing influence
of the work assigned to the commit
tee on cotton distribution. Unless in
the meantime unexpected changes
occur in the cotton market of such
violence as to threaten the welfare of
the legitimate interests. Second,
The Committee on Cotton distribu
tion has been organized, and has
been directed to effect as quickly as
possible an equitable distribution of
cotton as to quantity and also as to
grade among both domestic and for
eig^nanufacturers, with a special
viev\> providing for the proper util- |
izati\ of the surplus of grades be- J
low idling. Note: It is planned to
accomsh .this distribution by reg
ulation applying to foreign and do
mestiinjnufacturers without inter
ferencWith the usual trading be
tween Vmers and buyers or mer
chants.frhird. All purchasers both
for forirn and for domestic con
sumptiokyill continue to be made at
market Ices through the marketing
and distention agencies commanly |
used, unlV and until the cotton com- j
rnittee sh\ determine and announce
that the ecessity has arisen for
making a tfenge. In view of this an
nouncememthe Cotton Committee
hopes thatlgencies engaged in the
cotton induy-y will proceed in the
normal tranlction of business with
out uncertaily or hesitation. O O O
Franklin, Dikitor of the War Loan
Organization,Washingfron, S. X.”
We feel sui that this information
will allay the fears of your county
and we ask t^t this information be
given wid.e pubcity in your commun
ity- \

Glory'of Discovery of Hidden

qf mining, Including the patient burro,
who discovered the silver in the Coeur

with the busy little hen with nuggets
In her- crop, and the gray goose with
Its gullet full of gold sand, must be
added another representative of the
animal kingdom. In an interesting
book, by John Mawe, an English min
eralogist, recounting travel observa
tions in Brazil, made in 1810, is record
ed the discovery of gold in one of the
then important districts in the state of
Minas Geraes, in which the busy little
ants played important parts. He says:
“Some negroes employed in clearing
the lands broke up an ant hill of con
siderable size, when, upon laying it
open to the air, for the purpose of de
stroying or dispersing the Insects, large
grains of gold were found.” Future
historians of mining will please take
note of the above and distribute the
credit of glory of the discovery of the
world’s precious minerals so that the
insect kingdom shall have its dues.—

Use Old Irrigation Ditches.
The remains of Irrigation systems
that date back to prehistoric times
when the valleys of Arizona were in
habited by highly civilized Indian
tribes are still in existence, says
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
One of the most famous of these is
on the state highway running from
Prescott to the Grand canyon.
Water Is taken from what is known
as “Montezuma’s well,” a curious nat
ural well 440 feet in diameter and 93
feet deep, except in one spot, where no
bottom has been reached at 500 feet
Lime in solution is carried by the wa
ter, and the sides of the ditch have been
preserved by the petrifaction of the
original earth.
One ranch owner is using several
thousand feet of these ditches after
simply cleaning them out. A line of
levels was run along the bottom of
one of these old Indian ditches and
showed the grade to be almost per
fectly uniform at the rate of 0.01 foot
per 100 feet.
