Thinks Farmers Should Know More
About the Cotton Seed
.TGI, +i.s,. RS r. ,es.F

~

Director William J. Harris, of the
Bureau of the, Census. =. finds that
z.sAere is great demand for the. publ
ton at. more freauept intervals of
Natistics concerning, the consump-
ion of cotton seed. 1t has been the
practice of the. Bureau of the Census
10 compile statistics for this import
ant part of the cotton crop only vice
during the ginning season The first
report of the crop for 1912 related to
the quantity of cotton seed crushed
prior to January 1, 1913. The sec
ond report showed the quantity
crushed prior to March /, 1913, with
an estimate of the quantity remain
ing to be crushed from the crop.
The statistics of cotton seed are
collected in connection with those
for the production of cotton as re-
as reported by the ginners. This is
necessary because the quantity of
linters is constantly increasing and
forms a much larger percentage of
the total crop than heretofore.
Mr.. Harris believest hat an addi-
tional report showing the quantity
of seed crushed and of hnters obtain
ed should relate to some date be-
tween October 81 and January 1. He
is not certain as to the most decira-
BILE date, and is accordingly GORE
spending with the farmers and cot
tonseed-oil mills in order to establish
it. 1t is hoped that all will agree
upona fixed date, so that the work
can be inaugurated during the pres
ent season.
The additional report will be of
great value to the farmers, as we'll as
to the oil mills and public generally.

THE BAND NEEDED DRILLING
CFrom The Strand Magazine.)

(From The Strand Magazine)
The colonel of a certain regiment
sent for the bandmaster one day
and complained very bitterly of the
band, which he described holly as "a
disgrace to the regiment, sir"
Naturally, the bandmaster, who
was very proud of his band, was
most indignant, and demanded to
know what the complaint was about.
Why, sir" said the irascibie COL
oneL 1.-THE men who march in the
front rank and play those instru-
ments they push in and out''-mean-
ing the trombOnes-"c cannot keep
time, sir! They never by any chance
push in and out together. I'll have
1t changed, let me tell you!'
1t was no good the bandmaster ex-
planning that each man played diff
ferent note and that each note was
formed whit he slide in different
position. The colonel still persisted
that the effect was not uniform, and
vowed that he would order the men
to be drilled until such time as they
could push in and out together!

DEATH OF MR.. JOSEPH H. GAINES

A letter to The Journal states that
Mr.. Joseph II. Gaines died at the
home of his mother, Mrs. r. Gaines,
in West Bradent town, Fla, on Friday,
October 10, 1918, at 7:15 a. m.
He was born in Atlanta, November
20, 1889. From there, with his mo-
Their, brothers and sisters, he moved
to Marietta, where he resided seven
years. Nearly three years ago, with
the family, he went to Florida and
settled at Parish. Last year they re-
moved to Bradentown. Last March
he became ill and was taken to Tam
pa and underwent a surgical opera
ton to remove an abscess in his right
side. After the operation he never
recovered his health and strength,
and tuberculosis set in and did it's
deadly work.
In his death his widowed mother
has lost a dutiful, obedient, loving
son and his sisters and brothers a
kind and affectionate brother.
He possessed a character which
gave sunshine to all his immediate
associates and which enabled him to
endure his long illness without a
murmur.
His remains were laid to rest in
the West Bradentown Cemetery. The
Rev. Filifore officiated.

There is going to be a real game

Those who enjoy football can't
we'll afford to miss this opportunity

probably better trained, but they are
going to have to go same to win.
Here is hoping, Scouts!
