COTTON-SEED OIL.

1t is now claimed by the people
of the South that tho seed from
the cotton plant yields a superior
salad oil to that produced from the
fruit of the olive tree. Here is
what one authority has to say
about it The winter pressed
cotton-seed oil, which is used for
salad oil, is superior TO either olive
or peanut oil, rs it is moie easily
digesled and will not ferment in
the stomach. A mayonnaise salad
dressing made from cstton-seed oil
will stand up FOR two weeks-a ,e-
cord that no other has" And the
following statement is alleged to
have been made by DIR. Harvey W.
Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Che
mistry, United States Department
Of Agriculture: "Cotton-seed oil
is the most wholesome, palatable,
nutritious cooking. salad and table
oil. No other oil known begins to
hold the rank that cotton seed oil
does. nor has it the future cotton
seed oil has" French and Italian
dealers in salad oils have long
known the virtues of cOttOn-seed
oil, and every year immense car
goes of cotton seed oil are expor-
ted abroad to enter tho channels
or trade under label as olive oil,
such as that which coDspired with
Falernian to seduce Hannibal at
Capua from his nearly successful
enterprise OF becoming master of
the world. If cotton-seed oil
should drive olive oil out of trade,
it will prove of immense material
advantage to our country, especial
ly to the cotton South. As sub
stitute for butter aud lard in the
culinary world, cotton-seed oil is
used in immense quantities. Its
superiority over the best article of
cow butter in the making of cake
is acknowledged wherever it has
been tried, and it beats hogs lard
out of sight in the making of bis
cult. Year by year, month by
month, day by day, the use of cot
ton seed oil for culinary purposes
increases. The mystery is, why
does it not work to reduce the price
of butter and lard, which are high
or to-day than ever before at this
season of the year? A new cotton
planter has been invented that is
a great saver of time, labor and
money. The demand for it great
ly exceeds the supply, though the
works are constantly enlarged. In
telligent cultivation not only of
cotton, but of all other crops, is
making great Roadway at the
South. aud soon the Northern
farmer will realize that the cotton

Help For Their Old Home Town.

Help For Their Old Home Town.
There are several groups OF country
born big business men in New York
who have formed country clubs to
meet once year, talk over old times
in the towns and villages they came
from and the good or betterment of
the old home place. Among these are
men like Hon. Seth Low. James &.
Cannon and Commodore WadhamS. At
an annual dinner Mr.. Cannon made
the suggestion that they could do
nothing better than to get back OF q
Young Mems Christian association
work in his county (Greene). and it
was done. Mr.. Cannon told Mr.. Low
about it. and now his county WEST

secretary on the field. whose head

asked what it would cost. He was
told $1,000. GO ahead; it is done. I
will look after the money for my
county" Here is an idea for every big
city where the country boys have
grown up to be the city's leaders. The
good work that was begun last year
at county fairs in supplanting horse
racing and gambling by the introduce
ton of clean athletics and control of
the sports by the county associations
has been kept up in the country east
and west with increasing results.

LOGAN Sentenced to HANG

Facing Judge Carey with no sign of
emotion and CHASTITY grin on his wrin-
kled face, William Frederick Jahns,
alias Frank Romandorrf, alias James f.
Logan, was Monday morning sentenced
to be hanged for the murder of Mrs.
Agnes J. Janson, his German house
keeper, near Bissell postoffice, October
%, 1909 Judge Carey overruled the
motion for arrest of Judgment and for
new trial, when Attorney Jesseph, for
the defense, made exception to the rul-
ing in each instance.
This is the first death sentence passed
in the Stevens county superior court
since statehood, and the second execu-
ton ordered in its history, the last being
an Indian hung in the Jail yard in 1883.
While the groundwork for appeal has
been laid, it is not known yet what fur
Their proceedings will be had logan"
declares he will never hang.
In sentencing Logan Judge Carey said:
"The sentence of this court is that as
punishment for the crime of which you
have been found guilty that on April Is,
1910, within the walls of the state peni-
Tertiary at Walla Walla. under the di-'
rection of the superintendent of the
penitentiary. that you be hanged by the
neck until you are dead. 1t is further
ordered that death warrant issue out
of this court, under the seal, directing
the superintendent of the penitentiary
to carry this Judgment and sentence into
execution.
at is also ordered that an order issue
out of this court, under the seal of the
court, directing the sheriff Of this county
to take you forthwith into custody, and
with this warrant turn you into the
hands of the superintendent of the state
penitentiary at Walla Walla'
On Tuesday attorneys for Logan filed
notice of appeal to the supreme court Of
the state, which will stay further pro-

They Are a Constant Menace to the
Lives of Children.
No parent, school board or law has
the right to compel children to go to
school that gives them diseases that
may permanently undermine their
health or manufacture physical de-
fects. So important did one school
principal consider protection from con-
tagious diseases that he had a culture
taken of every child's throat before 1t
came to school. Those in whose
mouths were the germs of diphtheria.

because they were sick, but because
they were able to infect other chill

that school for the first time in its
history. Mothers, if you find that
proper precautions are not taken to
protect your children from contagious
diseases and physical defects, keep
them out of school. Arouse other
mothers to do likewise and to interest

Unique SnowpIow For Sidewalks.

This is one instance where a lawn
mower, an instrument which is big
factor in making the rural town at
tractive, can be made very serviceable
during the winter. Any industrious
person keeps the sidewalk in front of
his home clean Of snow and makes
travel easy for the mail carrier by
simply turning his mower into first
class snowplow. Take the handle and
braces from the lawn mower and at
tach them to branch one inch thick,
twelve inches wide and eighteen
inches long Then take two strips OF
wood l by 2 and ten inches long and
use them as battens over the handle
braces. Then fasten with screws and
you complete the plow A piece Of tin
tackled over the face Of the board
will greatly assist the snow in sliding
from the plow.

VITAL STATISTICS.

Washington, June 23:-Chief Sta
tistician DIR. Cressy L. Wilbur, of the
Division of Vital Statistics, Bureau
of Census, in his latest annual NOR
tality report, sets the longevity of
man, or the extreme span of human
life somewhere between 100 and 110
years, The report affirms that it is
undoubtedly true that the age of 100
years is occasionally attained but
suggests that-it Is doubtful whether
the age of 110 has ever been reach
ed or exceeded
Dr. Wilbur declares that 1t would
be fact Of great Importance and in
terest to the world If, by scientific
observation, 1t could, be determined
that human being could live 150
40, 1870, or even 100 or 11O years
The organs OF, the human. system
could be tested and 1t might be
found that with better hygiene and
more attention to proper methods OF
living the extreme limit of age might
be reached and moreover that after
many generations the average long
eyity Of man might approximate tn,
limit
From time to time reports ar,

occurred In 1904. The original death
certificate shows that Raby died in
Middlesex county, New Jersey, on
March l, 1904, at the age of 1S1
years and eleven months. The issue
of the New York Medical Record of
March 5, 1904, contained the fol-
lowing item:
Sophia Cab, probably the oldest
woman in Chicago, died there last
week. She was supposed to have
been 129 years old. Born slave,
she spent most of her life on a plan
tation near Richmond, Va. When
released from slavery during the

information contained in the certifi-
cate Of death.
Going back farther 1t Is found
that Raby was an inmate of the aims

his age as fifty-nine years, and not
