Work Done by a Watch

From London Answers.
1t is a matter OF everyday occurrence
for person to say to his watcnmaker;
Here is a watch which you sold me
some 10 years ago. It has Always gone
well till Just lately. when 1t has taken
to stopping without any apparent cause"
The people who speak in this way lit
tie think of the amount of work a watch
has performed In this space OF time and
might be astonished at the following
figures:
In 10 years. which includes two leap
years, and consequently a total of 1852
days. the hour hand has made 1906 and
the minute hand S7,64S revolutions. The
end of an average minute hand travels
more than 102S0 yards-more than six
miles. The second hand has made 5,25S-
$50 revolutions and its extremity has
traversed on the dial a distance of up
ward of 1913 miles. The escape wheel
has made 52,5Ss.so0 revolutions. and as II
has IS teeth 1t has come 78S, $4,000 times
In contact with each pallet. The balance
wheel has made 1,577,644,000 vibrations,
and any point on the outside of the rim
has covered distance of about 50,Oot
miles. and that Is equal to twice the
circumference OF the earth.

GOVERNMENT IS
WITHOUT FUNDS

Washington. June 2s.-President Taft
will send message to Congress probably
tomorrow pointing out the analogous
situation whereby the machinery of the
federal government must continue in OPP
GRAFTON In direct violation of law, making
officials liable to fine and Imprisonment
unless steps are Immediately taken to
provide funds for the next fiscal year be-
ginning July /. The President will appeal
for the passage of a resolution extend
ing the necessary appropriations of the
current fiscal year for a temporary pc
riod to tide over the cataclysm caused
by the failure of the regular and defici-
ency appropriation bills to pass.
1t is expected such a resolution will
be introduced and passed by both houses
tomorrow. 1t is unlawful for any official
to create a deficiency, or to accept the
services OF any one gratuitiously. I'm
less Congress acts it is pointed out In
administration circles one of these laws
must be violated to some extent be-
cause government business cannot come
20 a standstill.
The navy department is going slow In
risking a violation of law and II ap-
preparations are not made the civil EN-
ployes of the navy yards and many in
the department here will be given fur
loughs at once.

HOLD SESSION IN JACKSON

jackson, Miss, June 2e.--(specal.)-The
Mississippi Cotton Seed Crushers' asso-
citation met in first annual session at Rep
resentatives hall yesterday, and in even
larger numbers than the leaders of the
Organization expected, more than 100 menu
bers being present.
The meeting was called to order by John
II. Turbeville. chairman of the local COM
mittee of arrangements, who called on
Bishop Theodore DuBose Bratton of the
Episcopal diocese of Mississippi for
prayer.
The address of welcome by Oscar New
ton. president of the Jackson bank. on
behalf of the business interests of Jack
son, was full of good advice as well as
welcoming assurances. He insisted that
the world needs knowledge on cotton oil
possibilities, and insisted that 1t would
be good idea for every oil mill TO own
and operate an experimental farm 50 as
to demonstrate TO the farmers of their To-
calities Just what can be done with the
scientific application of meal as a ter
tilizer
j. 3. Luck, secretary of the board of
trade, followed Mr.. Newton, compliment
ing the seed crushers on having such a
great meeting OF good and substantial
business men and declaring their mission
good one from a business point of view.
He declared It, almost unbelievable that
the world had remained in ignorance of
the possibilities and value of the southern
cotton seed for so long time, but at
tributed that ignorance largely to the
fact that 1t is SO easy to make a living
In this glorious section of the country.
]. b. Perry Of Grenada made very fe-
licitous response to the addresses of well
come. He was glad to meet in city the
representatives of which claimed to be
the best in the state, and thought it
fit and proper that the meeting be held
In the best building in this greatest of
Mississippi cites-the place where the
Mississippi legislature holds semi-annuaI
conclave. and compared 1t to the halls
Of the scornful as told in the good book.

FARMER BOY TO BE
GIVEN ATTENTION

Chicago, June 26.-The farmer boy who
stays at home and raises fat cattle is due
to receive more publicity in the country
weekly paper than the youth who goes
TO town and accepts position that re-
quires a twice-over shave three times
per week. That Is what w. l.. Nelson,
editor of the Bunceton. Mo. publication
told the members of the National Press
association this afternoon. I'VE have
enough of Alphonse and Willie boys seek
ing lucrative positions" he said, "and
they usually 90 adrift on the tidewater OF
the unsuccessful. Al and Bill who grow
so bushels of corn to rle acre are the
captains. A boy must have character
and conscience and able to command con-
fdence."
Mr. Nelson advised against country ed
itors airing their grievances through
the editorial pages.

CONTEMPT OF COURT

New York, June 26.-Neilie BLY,, in pri-
waite life Mrs. Elizabeth e. Seamen, one
time noted traveller and newspaper
woman and now owner of the bankrupt
Ironclad Manufacturing company of
Brooklyn was sentenced by Federal Judge
Mayer In Brooklyn today to term of 20
days in Jail and TO pay a fine of $1,000.
stay was granted to July 1.
Mrs Seamen was found guilty of con-
tempt of court in connection with a cred
itors' inquiry begun after federal judge
in Brooklyn declared the Ironclad Manu-
featuring company bankrupt. Attorneys
for the Ironclad company's creditors have
sought to bring out that the American
Steel Barrel company, another concern
operated by Mrs. Seamen, and said to
be valued at 100000. was nothing more
than a subsidiary of the Ironclad COM
pany In fighting this move Mrs. Sea-
men adopted the attitude of refusing to
produce certain of the Barrel company's
books. which today resulted in her be-
ing adjudged In contempt.
Several months ago Mrs. Seamen was
fined 5000 for contempt, 500 of which went
TO the government and 5000 to the Iron

When Mr.. Perry entered the oil mill as
clerk a few years ago there were only
two oil mills between New Orleans and
Memphis: now there are more than a
score; the price of seed was then about
s. per ton, now II is SO, and the business
amounts to sl5,0Oo,0oo.
Secretary II. L. McGeorge here read the
report of the organization of the associa-
ton and the minutes of the first meet
ing held here year ago, showing that "a
mills had Joined at that time. Several had
become members since, and three new
members were Initiated today.
X. c. Hall of Laurel, president of the
association, read his annual address, and
found a great deal OF interest to relate as
to the steady growth of the business of
the oil mills. He had been advised that
the grand juries OF some of the counties
were talking of finding indictments
against the association, but assured them
all that this Is no price making organ
ization and Is not liable before the courts.
Its objects are strictly fraternal, and to
see that the output of the several mills
in the state is the best than can be
made
j.. Foot of Canton, one of the oldest and
most prosperous oil mill men Of the state,
took for his subject, 1.-The Cotton Oil Mill

into history of the cotton business,
made possible by ELI Whitney, a Massa-
chusetts boy, who went down into Geor-
gia after working his own way through
Yale. 1t was interesting TO know that
while Whitney made the first cotton gin,
he never derived any benefits from his
wonderful Invention. his machine hav-
ing been stolen from his shop before the
patent was procured. Afterward, how
ever. the state OF South Carolina had vot-
ed him $4,000 in appreciation of his SER
vices.
In 1864, said Mr.. Foot. England had Of
fered a prize for the best ton OF cotton
OIL and the Bermuda islands won 1t.
In 1906 a Mr.. Warning made cotton OIL

now owned and operated by the American
Cotton Oil company, Mr.. McGinnis being

the resolutions committee unanimously
rendered to him. Senator John w. Kern
OF Indiana was elected after Mr.. Bryan
twice refused the honor.
When the committee met Mr. Bryan was
not present. His absence was disconcert-
Ing No one appeared to know what the
Nebraskans attitude was to be, but IL
was rumored that he had said to several
friends that he would not accept the
responsibility of directing the platform
makers.
After a brief discussion 1t was sug-
gested that a committee OF Mr.. Bryan
friends should be sent to his rooms to
urge him to assume what the committee
declared to be duty 10 his party. Sena-
tor Rayner OF Maryland. O'Gorman of
New York and Culberson of Texas were
sent posthaste to Mr.. Bryan's rooms.
The committee arrived too late, Nj.
Bryan having started to the convention
hall already. The committee OF senators

tered the committee room just In time
