COTTON SEED NEAL

Commissioner Of Agriculture
Fred H. Phillips has addressed a
letter to the farmers of the state in
which he takes up the question of
coltonseed meal as stock food.
He Says cottonseed meal is one of
the best foods known for stock and
is equally good for poultry. This
meal, according to Commissioner
Phillips, contains more bone and
muscle producing qualities than
either oats, corn or fodder.

LITTLE OFFERINGS
(By Clay Fulks

There is no solitude so depressing
as the jungle Of strangers.
Sex attraction is responsible for
many a Large attendance"
The man who does little in life is
likely to want an imposing tomb
stone.
A community of philosophers
would starve to death exhorting
each other on the beauty and holi-
ness of work.
To apologize, explain, palliate and
placate should be the exclusive
privilege Of the genus mollycoddle.
The good man is he who persists
in pitying you because you dare dis
agree with him.
AS soon as man formulated a
moral code he found it necessary to
invent a caoutchouc conscience.
Did you ever notice how much
credit for wisdom you give the man
who secs things just as do?"
All men act the fool occasionally,
but the wise man is he who can tell
when he has, and doffs his Ounce
cap when he meets Minerva.
Pursue happiness and she will fit
away on the wings of the wind; get
honestly busy and she will abide
with you.

Some people seem to think the

There are two sides to this ques-
tion of a lower rate of interest and,
without attempting to discuss the
merits of the bill at all, there is one
part of Senator Keels argument we
can't understand. He says the III
per cent interest rate is keeping
capital out of the state, and that if
the interest rate were lowered
cheap money would come in for in
vestment. 1t strikes us the effect
would be the other way; that mon
ey would leave the state when the
interest rate is lowered. Mighty
few men, it strikes us, prefer to
loan money at 6 per cent rather
than 10 per cent. Frankly, we
don't catch Keel's point

are just mean enough to hope that

Kuhns was arrested by Night Captain
Mat Mier a short time after and when
arraigned In police court pleaded not
guilty to the charge of assault with
intent to commit murder.
The cause of the trouble between
the two was the arrest of Mrs. Rice
on a warrant sworn out by the Kuhns

and locked the doors, threatening to
kill anyone who tried to come in after
her. None of the crowd attempted to
get her and refused to enter the
house, warning Night Captain Mier, to
stay away. When Mier entered the
