THE COTTON.SEED POOL.
JOHN v. LEwIs's SCHEME A sue.
CESS.
Every Desirable mill West of the
Mississippi Controlled by
the Syndicate.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March l.--Some two
or more years ago j. V. Lewis, an ex-
tensive manufacturer of cotton-seed
oil Of Cincinnati, o., conceived the
idea OF forming pool intended to
control the price Of the commodity,
and has since that time been quietly
but zealously at work with several
other large manufacturers 10 put into
execution his plan, 1t is now stated
that his efforts have succeeded, and
that there has been formed corpora
ton known as the Cotton Oil Trust
Company, which controls every desir-
able mill west of the Mississippi river
and 60 per cent, of the mills of the
entire country. The capital stock of
the company is placed at $20,000,000
of which about $l2,000,000 has been
issued to the mills bought bythe pool.
The plan of the procedure is as fol-
lows: II the officers of the company
decide that a certain factory should
be subject 20 pool control, the owner
is approached and invited to sell his
property, II it is unincumbered and
in good working order, he is given
certificates to the amount of three
times the value of his MILL For less
valuable property less is paid. If the
mill thus bought can be operated with
a profit, the Trust Company places in
it a superintendent OF its own and
takes possession of the property.
From that time on the mill Is run as
the best interests Of the company die
tate, the output being regulated by
the current price of cotton-seed pro-
ducts. Instead of encountering oppo-
sition from the mill owners, the pool
has been besieged by applications for
admission To the syndicate, and il now
finds itself almost completely master
OF the situation.

r S. Day Of Watsonville, Santa
Cruz county, Cal, writes February 3,
1885; "When my wife was seventy
three years old she was troubled with
a very bad cough, aud II looked as II
she would die with consumption. She
would not call in doctor, but COM
menced taking Brandreth's Pills, two
and three every night. In three
weeks she was completely cured, and
her health is now very good, and l am
sure the pills have prolonged her life
as well as my own, for have used
them forty years, and am now eighty
four years Old. They have been my
only madeleine"

organized in 1873. For "a number of years
its membership was small and did not in
crease. Three years ago, when it had
begun to grow somewhat, a hall was
elegantly fitted up in 7. NJ. Chapmans
block. For the past three years the lodge
has made rapid progress. The debt under
which it long struggled has been paid and
the new year opened with clean balance
sheet. 1t has about 80 members, includ-
ing some of the most substantial business
men of the village and vicinity, who re-
gard membership in the order as a cheap
and safe kind of life insurance. 1t is not
the largest lodge in the State, but none is
believed to be composed of better body
of men or to have so handsome hall.

BURLINGTON. VT.

The FREE PRESS believes in progress and
makes its practice accord with its belief. Its
efforts toward perfection have been constant
and its growth in size and value, circulation
and public appreciation in the past few years
have no precedent in Vermont journalism.
1t stands, rs its contemporaries in three states
acknowledge, clearly in the forefront OF Yer

The FREE PRESS believes in home institu-
tions. 1t believes that Nermontcrs have II
great deal to do in fostering worthy home en-
tcrprises before their State can become the
progressive commonwealth they desire it to
be- The FREE PRESS therefore advocates the
thorough and unwaverng support of home
institutions, and the use of money in home
enterprises. 1t believes there is ample room
for the exercise of brains, energy and enter
prise in Vermont, and acts fully up 10 its be
lief.
believing this, the FREE PRESS i first of all
Il home paper Its own city, county, and
state are first in its thoughts, and ncws-while
the news of the entire world is given in as
ample detail as necessary. The FREE PRESS
does not practice sensationalism in any de
gree either in news rpolitics. 1t is stead
tasty Republican in politics and does not be
licye it is necessary To change opinion with
every issue to he live newspaper.
The FREE PRESS has begun new, highly
attractive and unusual feature in country
journalism. II has, ut considerable expense
secured series of original stories of the War
These articles are copyrighted and will APP
