000, 900 in the authorized capital OF that
corporation, thus making the total cap
ital $50, OOO,OO This action is result
of the current plans adopted in securing
cotton oil properties with a view to Sc
curing supplies of cotton seed meal from
which ammoniates are derived.
A circular sent to the stockholders by
the directors set forth that the company
has been figuring long time on some
plan by which it could secure the am
moniates, of which it consumes about
s., 900, 600 worth annually, in the most
economical manner. 1t is pointed out
that the quantity of ammoniates alone
would Justify the company in going
into the cotton seed oil business, but
aside from that it it, when properly
conducted, intrinsically profitable bust
ness and would have the further adj
vantage of placing the company more
closely in touch with the fertilizer
trade.
1t is for the purpose of buying mp es-
tablished cotton mills, or establishing
new ones, that the capital stock of the
company is to be increased to $50, 00os-
900.
The United Cotton Oil company has
recently Incorporated under New Jer-
sey laws with $l2, 600, 900 capital stock.
Presumably this concern will be turned
over to the Virginia Carolina Chemical
company.
The cotton oil plants, which % far a.

Refining company and the Interstate

mills are alsO said to have been pur-
chased. 1t is also understood that the

purchase has not been made.

who grow old the quickest. After her
work the busy business woman rushes
home, eats hasty meal and flies to the
seclusion of her room, where she col
lapses in an untidy wrapper and spends
the evening yawning and reading
novels. If some one asks her why she
doesn't brace up. put on a clean gown
and enjoy the evening with some
friends who will cheer her up and give
her new ideas and fresh interest In
life, she answers I'm too busy" or II
haven't time" or I'm too tired" The
truth is, she is satisfied with her own
company; she is too selfish to interest
herself in other people and too lazy to
exert herself a little to make friends.
The result is that she goes down to the
office next day discontinued with life
and grumpier than ever.
The busy home woman is the same.
From dawn till dusk she rushes around
doing a multitude Of things. She is a
model housekeeper. She makes all the
ch5ldren's clothes and most Of her own.
she Is forever cleaning, mending or
making embroidery or preserves. and
she considers that she Is doing her
duty by her husband and children. But
she never has time to listen to their
little troubles, and she Is too busy to
make herself attractive to her hus-
band, aud she hasn't time to extend
those little courtesies which make life
long friends. She is just plain wom-
an, as she will tea you, and a very
busy one. with no time for nonsense.
Does it ever occur to the busy wom-
an. wonder. that she Is missing the
best part Of life; that 1t would pay her
far better to be less active and smart
and to find time for a kind word and q
smile1 Does 1t ever occur to that wo-
man that she is turning herself into q
machine and that the best machines
break down some day7 No, suppose
not. She will have to reach that day
first-the day when her physical activ-
Ity will have deserted her, when she
will be sick or old and will no longer
be able to be busy. She will look
around for sympathetic words and
comfort. not realizing that the treasure
of friendship is built up by continued
little acts of kindness throughout the
years of ones life. Perhaps she will
wish then that she had allowed herself
to take time. MAUD ROBINSON.

THE BUSY WOMAN.
She Has No Time For the Small COur-

Sne mas NO Time For the Small CO1E0
tesies of Life.
Need the busy woman be a bear?
Anybody would think so to watch her.
If the busy wOman's sphere of activity
is bounded by an office, she is so rush
ed that she hasn't any time for the
small cOurtesies of life. If any one
opens a door or hands her a book,
there is no response. Often a CHEEKY
good morning calls forth only a blank
expression. If any one reminds her
that she is impolite, her lips close with
a pinched expression, and she mutters
CURLY, I'm busy" 1 suppose she
thinks a smile or a courteous word
would be a waste of valuable time.
That's where she is vastly mistaken.
People form their impressions of our
character from these apparently small
things, and no one can afford to be in
different to the good opinion of others.
Then, too, a smile acts on a tired brain
like a tonic; it refreshes and invigor-
ates. 1t is safe to say that every smile
makes a woman a second younger and
that it is the women who seldom smile
