OIL MILLS
 PREPARING Big Season Seems Loom
 ing Up. SOME STARTED UP THIS WEEK Believed No Trouble Is Ahead on
 Score of Supply. Explanation Given of Varied Process of Extracting oil and Uses to
 Which By-Proaucts
SOME STARTED UP THIS WEEK

Cotton seed in this section of the country .and practically throughout the cotton belt. Is reported in abundance this year and the mills will have no trouble in getting all they want for what promises to be a prosperous sea- son, provided the demand for cotton seed products holds.
 Some of the local cotton oil mills started up this week and the rest will be ready for work in few days. Each mill has good lot of seed on hand and will not have the first run broken for lack of working material. Of course the seed at this time of year. and for the next two nonths, will be of low grade, owing to the quantity of water in if, the September and De- fober shipments of seed being water to the extent of per cent. pr more.
 Another loss in buying seed encoun- tered by the mills is the quantity of trash in 1t. which in this part of the country runs from 60 to 159 pounds of foreign matter, made up of bricks, old shoes. pieces of iron. etc. These things, it Is not claimed are put in purposeiy. but they are there in every ton. The Mississippi delta Is most noted for this condition. the amount of trash per ton running often above PTS pounds. To the eastward in the cotton section this fault drops away. scarcely any "extra weight" being found in the bulk seed on the coast.
 The prevalent price of seed this sea- son will swing about SIS on an axis, some bringing as high as SIS, others not more than si2.
 Out of ton of seed the mills get about forty gallons of oil, which brings 2s cents gallon, or less This oil Is sold principally to manufaetur- CTS of middle class soap, G eents-a- cake kinds 1.-the manufacturers Of Ivory and Fairy" soap taking a large part of it. Much of 1t Is sold far cooking oil eottolene, etc. but an enormous quantity goes abroad to be bottled and sent back to the United States and sold for olive oil.
 Uses of the Meal.
 From $50 to 900 pounds of cotton seed meal are yielded from a ton of seed, which Is used principally in high grade fertilizers and as a stock food it having been found that the meal is one of the most nutritious foods for cattle. especially fM a cold climate. Hundreds of tons are shipped annually to the Scandinavian peninsula for use in feeding stock there. and with the most beneficial results. This meal brings from $1.05 to $I.25 per 100 pounds.
 Seven hundred pounds of hulIs, also used as cattle food, are obtained from a ton of seed, the hulls being sold at 40 cents hundred pounds almost in- variably.
 From the lint left on the raw seed when 1t Is ginned the linter gins in the cotton oil mills take about forty pounds of low grade lint, used In mak-

Here is a fact" said Mr.. Bryan,
which I present in answer to Mr..
Taft's opinion. The German people
cannot be accused of carelessness in
their banking business any more than
they can in other business. Here is
testimony TO be found in a consular
report, printed by the present admin
istratien, completely answering the ar
guments that Mr.. Taft has been max
ing against the guaranteeing OF de-
posits."
The only question. he said, was
whether the deposit should be guar
anteed by the banks or by the COM
munity. I'VE believe" he declared.
that the banks have advantage
enough from the la~ to justify them
in furnishing the security them
selves"
The other issues of the campaign
were taken up in turn by the Demo-
cratic candidate
A feature of the meeting was the
fact that it was presided over by
Thomas W. Meachan, president OF the

PREDICTED HIS ELECTION.
Last Day in New York Finds Mr..
BRYAN Full of Faith.

Cohoes. y. Y, Oct. 29.-Refreshed after
a good nights rest, William j. Bryan
opened the last day of his campaign in
New York state here early this morn
ing. He spoke in the opera house TO a
crowd that filled every seat, the aisles
and Hobbies, and was greeted with ap-
plause throughout.
After urging his hearers to vote for
the Democratic congressional nominee in
this district and the Democratic state
candidates, Mr.. Bryan predicted his cleo
ton To the presidency
Mr.. Bryan said that before the Denver
convention the Republicans were very 81
lent.
Found Out Their Mistake.
They said if tie Democrats would only
nominate me they would have a walk
over. Wen, at this time we are able to
forecast the result. and what is the con-
dition? Our cause is so appealing TO the
consciences of the American people that
we are drawing to our support more of
those who are lifting up the moral stand
ard and who are trying to touch the con-
science Of the nation Republican leaders
do not lead the people in the right di-
rectiOn: these leaders have betrayed the
sentiment even in their own party and
misrepreseuted the wishes OF the rank
and file OF the Republicans"
Taking up the question of publicity of
campaign contributions. Mr.. Bryan asked
those present il they were willing 10 en-
dorse plan that contemplated the pur-
chase OF elections.
Il warn you now" ne said that the
crusade We have commenced for honest
politics Will go on. We have a law that
will compel the Republican leaders to
open their books and bet the people know
what is going on"
The United States Senate
Mr.. Bryan charged that the United
States senate was the bulwark of pred
atOry wealth and that corporations had
controlled the actions of senators who
were chosen to represent the people
Speaking Of the trusts. he asserted that
Mr.. Taft had not attacked a single trust
because. he said. every trust magnate
was supporting him. "and out of the
funds the Republicans are preparing TO
buy every vote that can be bought
Mr.. Bryan vehemently declared that the
Republican party was going backward in
