Veterans of the Cause.

AT the dedication of the worlds
fair at Chicago some years ago, an
almost interminable procession wounG
its way through the streets of that fCs-
tive city. The president of the United
States, princes from abroad, senators,
congress men. governors, men of prom
incncc in every occupation. and almost
every imaginable organization and
fraternity were i'm line. The sight was
an inspiring one, and cheer upon cheer
rent the air from the double row Of
spectators on either side. Down along
the middle came Il single company of
old soldiers on foot. Their forms
were bent and their uniforms were
frayed and faded. Many of them were
not able To keep step. Several were
minus an arm or leg. But as they
came into view the cheering ceased
and a solemn hush fell upon the as
scmbled multitude. Eyes grew dim
ari bruws were barred and many of
the uncovered heads were those of
young men who realized how much of
all this JOY and glory was due to their
services in the past. Such is our rela-
tiou to the veterans of our own
church. Many of them may not be
spruce in appearance, some of them
may not be able to keep step to the
music cf the day. some of them bear
the g Is of service on their person.
But we bare our browS when they pass
i'm review Cur cheer may not be loud
and long. but hearts become tender
and eyes grow Gim as we realize how
much Of our present achievements
must be credited to them. They have
stood the brunt of battle. We have
come up in time To join in the shouts
of victory and to share in the spoils."
The audience united in singing 'Au-
gustana on the HILL" which Was com
posed by Prof. Sodergren. y male
quartet from Orion gave selection
and there were greetings from Sweden
by Rev. Mr. Elander. Eskilstuna. The
service was concluded with the sing
ing Of Hear Is, Svea." and the ben
ediction.

The portions of the corn that are
used in the oil mill are the waste
products of the hominy and corn
flour mills That is. those which can
not be made into hominy, grits or
cornfiour. These waste products are
known to the trade as hominy chop
and germs. The germ il the heart of
the kernel and the chop is another by
product of the hOminy making pro-
cess. These are the oil-bearing por-
tions of the corn. Neither was lost
to the corn mills entirely. as they
were sold for stock feed. but the corn
oil. which has only a trihing value as
feed, was n practical loss. 1t is the
business of the new corn oil mill to
save this oil without detracting from
the food value of the remaining pOr-
ton. The germ of the corn contains
p TO - per cent oil and the chop
about 10 per cent oil. The latter,
therefore. constitutes the greater bulk
of the raw material of the corn oil
mill.
There are at Decatur several large
cereal mills where corn is ground and
which supply the corn by-prOducts
necessary for the manufacture of the
corn oil, but these local mills do not
furnish a sufficient supply of the oil
bearing portions of the corn and the
raw material is bought from many
different corn grinding mills. some be
ing shipped in from Iowa. Nebraska.
Michigan and few other states.
The corn oil mill has capacity of
extracting oil from 300 tons of raw
material every ~ hours. The amount
of oil produced depends upon whether
the greater portion of the raw ma
terial is germs or chop, but the man
agement generally figures on produc-
ing three tank cars of oil every day.
The 300 tons of raw material used
each ~ hours means about ten car
loads and an almost equal amount of
stock feed is produced as well as the
corn oil.
Superior TO LInseed OIL.
The uses of corn oil are many, but
its greatest value is found as a vehicle
for mixing paints. and for this purpose
it is claimed by the manufacturers to
be superior to the best linseed oil. The
tests which have been made show that
the corn oil when used with paints
dries in such way that it is elastic
and does not oNidizc and therefore is
more durable than linseed oil when
used for exterior painting.
1t may also be used in making soap
and for other purposes, but the most
important use is as Il paint oil and for
the manufacture of varnish. The prod
uct of the Decatur factory is sold
largely TO the paint manufacturers,
who refine il after receiving it from
the corn oil mill.
Corn oil is by no means new thing
on the market. The glucose manufac-
turerS and some others extract oil
from corn by pressure, but this leaves
the feed i'm the form of cake which
must be ground at considerable adj
ditional expense. and the oil, too. is
not of as much value as that extracted
by the solvent process. as il cannot
be used for mixing paints and is most
of it sold to the soap factories. The
owners of the corn oil mill claim that
they have Il highly successful process.
The mill is now running at its full ca
pacity.

4 brigade of Russian infantry, with
1000 cavalry and two guns, marching
to strike Gen. Kuroki's flank. crossed
the Taitse river. The Japanese cut off
the retreat of this force and tried to
annihilate it. The Russians attacked

of the railway with a terrific artillery
fire on both sides. The railway line
almost to Yentai was i'll possession OF

forty miles.
The fighting commenced early in the
morning. A bombardment of five
