VALUE OF COTTON SEED.
From a Worthless Nuisance It Has
Become a Rich Product.

From a Worthless Nuisance It Has
Become Rich Product.
The history of cotton seed is in itself
interesting and marks an age of won
derful progress. For many years the
seed was despised as nuisance and
was burned and dumped as garbage
Then it was discovered to be the very
food for which the soil was hungering
and reluctantly admitted to the rank of
utilities, some degree of respect being
accorded to it.
Cotton seed was next found to be nu-
Lritious food for beasts, and then this
formerly despised product was discov-
cred to hold a considerable quantity of
pure oil to the ton, worth at that time
$14 to the ton. representing $4,000, 900
for the whole crop. The refined oil is
now worth much more than that
But new wonder was to come.
Experience showed that the ton of cot
ton seed was better fertilizer and
better stock food after it had been
robbed of its oil than it was before;
that the bulls of the seed made the
best of fuel for feeding the oil mill
engine; that the ashes of the bulls had
the highest commercial value as pot
ash and that the refuse of the whole
made excellent soap stock.
The history of cotton seed has per-
hapS been paralleled by that Of petro-
leum, which in its crude state, i'll look
ing and bad smelling, has proved a
mine of enormous wealth in the won
derful substances that have been pro-
cured from it.
The manufacture of cottonseed prod
uctS on commercial scale had it's be-
ginning in England, and as late as 1870
that country, with an annual crush of
100000 tons, was the leading cotton
seed oil producing country in the world.
Owing, however, to the heating and
consequent deterioration in which cot
ton seed is liable in transit and in stor-
age a tendency naturally developed to
locate the oil mills as near as practica-
BILE to the course Of seed supply.
The annual crush OF cotton seed in
this country is now nearly 100000
tons.

The next day he telephoned the at

the plaintiffs counsel very reticent, the
man simply stating that the affair
would be better hushed up by a com
promise Of damages. Ormsby asked
the name of the complainant, but the

an appointment was made for II

ORMSBY
VERSUS
ORMSBY
By MARY BLoCKWELDER

Fred Ormsby had lot Of theories in

he said suppose a woman is living hap

suited to her taste should come along
and have access to her, her love for
the former would fall before the at
fractions Of the latter AS to her leav-

as she pleased.
He went further than this He be-
lieved that a woman might be drawn
away from her husband by an ideal or
imaginary lover. Ormsby had married
a wife who seemed to love him as we'll
as he could desire. Instead Of letting
we'll enough alone be concluded 30
experiment upon her. Disgusting his
hand, be wrote her a love letter pur-
porting to be from one whom she did
not know. He told her that he had
a little girl. though all the while from
a distance. He would not for the
world make himself known, for such
a course after having written her of
his love would be inexcusable. He
admitted that he had no right to even
inform her anonymously of his pas
sion He simply couldn't help it,
Ormsby mailed the letter to his wife
so that she would get il when he was
not at home He argued that if she
were not captivated by this unknown
lover-a woman doteS on mystery
she would at once turn the letter over
| to him to read. If she yielded to the
siren song she would keep it to her
| self All depended on this first i'm
pulse. He hoped that she would show
| him the letter as soon as he arrived
at home. after she had received it. If
| she did not, she could gradually be

Mrs. Ormsby did not appear embar-
rassed or elated or depressed or mys-.

had left in the morning.
Ormsby wrote another letter to his

In a very serious fire which recently

an outside covering of 6reproof braid
were destroyed by fire in remarkable
way. The origin OF the fire was a
comparatively small blaze that had
been started by an accidental short

promptly extinguished, it seems that
the short circuit had enormously over

no fear of being jailed. And the
girls who are so addressed should
be pleased at the term. The "Sir"

This momentous decision was
made in the local courts by Judge
Moore, with the aid of a diction-

sets a precedent.
Blaine Starner, a young man of

Starner admitted his guilt, but
said he didn't mean any harm,

a compliment. He asked Judge
Moore to look up the definition
of chicken" The magistrate
found the following definition in
Webster's dictionary:
