And their skirts were far from the austere length their grandmothers wore, those who boasted a dimpled knee would have had considerable difficulty in concealing that pleasant fact?had they tried.

BITYS TOWN FOR COTTON PLANTING Purchase of the town of Marinette, Arizona, fourteen miles northwest of Phoenix, and 7,800 acres of land adjacent, for cotton growing, has just been imidc by the Southwest Cotton Company, a subsidiary of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. By the completion of this deal, the total amount of land owned by the company for raising long staple cotton to be used in fabric for automobile tires has been increased to 36,000 acres. More than 20,000 acres additional ha' e been leased for future needs. Of the 56,000 acres controlled, about 30,000 are under cultivation and producing many thousands of bales of cotton annually. Homes similar to those built by the companp for its 2,000 employes in the towns of Lichfield and Goodyear in the Salt River Valley will be erected in Marinette for employees on the new plantation. Tp celebrate the acquisition of this new tract, a barbecue was given recently by the company to allow its employees to become acquainted with the people of Marinette. i ne pioneer worn done oy U113 company in irrigating portions of the Salt River Valley and starting the cultivation of cotton in the heart of an Arizona descr* marks one of its most brilliant achievements. Besides owning cotton gins and other equipment in Arizona, another Goodyear subsidiary ha.; gone into the Imperial Valley of California and arranged to take large portions of the cotton yield in that fertile region. While the cultivated cotton does not begin to supply the company's present need3, the project has been developed to care for future requirements.

Booker, of Columbia, newspaper man and secretary of the South Carolina ( Cotton Association, who returned yes1 terday from a trip to New York, | j Washington and other points in the L east, where he talked with many prominent men, among them several lead. ers in the Republican ranks. Mr. , 1 Booker states thftt many of these prominent Republicans told him that ' they feared for the Republican chances this year since Harding is their nomi* nee. "%t is generally conceded in the f east/Y^ir. .Booker says, "that McAdoo will, if nominated, have a good chance 5 at victory." Mr. Booker quoted the editor of one 1 of the largest commercial dailies in ' New York city, with whom he spent ; many hours, and this Republican lead' er stated that he was ''scared over the outlook." "The South won't vote for Edwards," the editor, was told, and | his quick republican reply was: "Well, if that's so, I hope the Democrats will nominate him." i if i i ii - iTiuny icauers in me east are of the ' opinion that even if the LaFollette " crowd doesn't organize a new party, there will be thousands of republicans | of that persuasion who will not vote for Harding; they will just simply not vote at all. This will mean points for the Democratic nominee. ' Mr. Booker stated that he was very ' much pleased with the sentiment he ' ^found expressed constantly iin the east of pessimism over the Republican ' future and the belie fthat the Democrats "have a good chance." With the labor organizations voting Democratic and with the division in Republican ranks, with the Republican platform 1 facing both ways, and with old line 1 Republicans as the hope of the party, with backing that does not meet the I approval of the best American citizenship, the Democratic party has bright hopes of winning. > "RUM RUNNING ALONG THE BORDER i Windsor, Ont., June 18.?Some farf mers of Petite Cote, Essex county | Ontario, apparently are leaving the , fields for a new endeavor.

D. Smith filled his regular ppointment at Black Rock church unday afternoon. All present en>yed a fine sermon. The crowd was gry small, only one member of the iiurch was present, that is very diseartening to our minister. Mr. mith asked me to request the lembers of the church to be present ext second Sunday. He said if more id not come out and seem to be inerested he was not coining back any lore after the second Sunday in July. Mr. Smith is a gifted speaker and j striving to help the people of this ommunity; he has been faithful to >is work at this church. I enjoy hearng him preach, and I think the people ought to be proud to have him as heir preacher and teacher, and apireciate his service enough to encourge him by being present. When we only have service once a nonth, and on that Sunday there is lot services at Rogers, and I am ure the people could attend; there ire enough people in this communiy to fill Black Rock church if they vould just attend. We could have in extra fine Sunday school too if hey would attend, but instead we lave only a few who ai*e faithful. But the faithful few will be regarded in the next world. I think iverybody ought to attend Sunday chool when they can. Remember the second Sunday in fuly, as Mr. Smith frankly requestid all the members to be present, ind all those who are not members, ome and encourage him. Just think >f this community without any ireaching at all at Black Rock, and low it would be to lose such an ex:ellent preacher as Mr. Smith! Do not think that Mr. Smith was nad in requesting the members to >e present. Just in a frank friendly uou no if i a vorv Hiapniirq crincr tn lim for none of the members to be present.
