Each college has its distinctive
dress. Wisconsin and Minnesota
like to affect the lumber-jack' ap-
parel,-heavy shoes, coarse baggy
trousers and high-collared sweater
jackets. Illinois disapprOves of vivid
class caps and hats; even fraternity
pins or jewelry worn in sight is con-
sidered bad taste there. Indiana
seniors have adopted corduroys as
their class dress. while the freshmen
must wear green skull caps with
three-inch visor and red button

at Columbia have adopted soft gray

Missouri q Cotton State

Any lndian-summer visitor to
kennett, Mo-, may witness a sight
which impressed six students from
the School of Journalism a few
weeks ago-a busy gin with wagons
filled with cotton waiting for their
turn to unload. The drivers discuss
the crops from their various wagon
seats.
Is Missouri d cotton state? That
is the question that instantl:- enters
the mind of many an intelligent Mis-
production of cotton to the acre of
any state in the Union. In the world
markets. Missouri cotton ranks AL in
quality.
Cotton in this state is mostly gath
cred by white labor. The fluffy bolls
are emptied from the sacks into
wagons with double sidebOards. Fiji
teen hundred pounds makes a good
wagonload. A suction pipe draws the
cotton from the wagon to the second
floor of the gin. Here the cotton
is separated from the seeds. The
seeds observe the following schedule
on their journey after LEAVING the
gin.
The seeds are taken to the seed
house where they pass through
screens that remove the lint. This
lint, by the way, supplies most of
the filters for comforts. The seeds
are now chopped up and again
cleaned. This time they pass
through a screen of perforated met
al.
The meats of the seeds are rolled
into fine flour. This -four is placed
i't tank surrounded by a space
through which steam is sent. The
steam does not touch the flour but
cooks it after the manner of a dou-
ble-boiler. Revolving paddles keep
