VALUE OF C0TTONSEED OIL
Liquid Becoming Quite Popular as an
ingredient Of Artificial Butter
May Be Solicited.

Grain crops and cattle crops are our
main sources Of food, and cotton
crops for clothing; but there is also
a great potential food supply In the
cotton crop, If we but understood how
to unlock It,
In view of the European war which
for the time being has embarrassed
the cotton farmer, statement pre-
pared recently by the department of
commerce, concerning the way in
which European nations are finding
out very rapidly how to make food Of
our cottonseed oil is interesting.
France, Italy and other southern ma
lions have always considered oil an
essential article Of diet. Olive oil is
their native supply. but they have now
learned the economy of exporting
their olive oil at high prices and i'm
porting in its place American cotton
seed oil, which is lower in price but
not lower in nutritive value.
Germany, the Netherlands and other
northern countries, like ourselves,
are not fond Of eating pure oil. but
need more butter than the cattle can
produce. so they resort to artificial
butter, and have developed 1t to a
high degree of palatability. 1t Is
stated that the principal countries OF
northern Europe are now making ar
tificial butter to the extent Of $4,000
tons per year, and the significant part
Of the story is that in 1913 they used
as an ingredient over 100000 barrels
of cottonseed oil from America.
BY the recently discovered proc
ess of solidifying liquid oils, cotton
seed oil is now beginning to compete
with hard cocoanut oil. which sells at
even higher prices than olive oil, and
is becoming very popular as an ingre-
dent Of artificial butter. Cottonseed
oil has exactly ten times the nL.ritive
value of beefsteak and costs only half
as much. AS the United States makes
each year over 100000 barrels Of re.
fined cottonseed oil, 1t is worth while
to study the various methods OF max
ing it acceptable as food.

RAISING SHEEP ON THE FARM
Industry Of Southwest VIII Likely In
crease In Importance Since Nut
ton 10 More Popular.

Sheep ranching has a very fasci-
mating history in the Southwest. The
lonely sheep herder and his dogs have
long been displaced by the farmer
with a few thoroughbred sheep, cows.
hogs and chickens. In fact, general
farming Is now practiced where the
land was formerly considered unfit for
crops, suitable only for sheep grazing
at specially favored seasons. The
sheep industry of the Southwest will
likely increase In importance since
mutton is becoming more popular as
a food and as ways and means are
found to market a small quantity Of
wool.
But the small farmer who has a pas
ture and who raises feed crops will be
the sheep man. He will breed up his
animals, eliminate the improbable
and establish a desirable herd. There
are great possibilities in sheep rails
ing where one is situated favorably for
raising the animals and marketing the
products.
A few sheep on the farm indicate
thrift and prosperity OF the manager.

low-Cut BIouses Passe.

The very low-cut blouse is going
out of fashion-for the street at least.
Whether as compromise with the au-
tumn season, which presupposes cool
er weather, or because women are
growing more modest. chemisettes.
waistcoats and bodices fasten a little
higher at the throat, though the high
stock collar is by no means in sight
Just yet. Sometimes two snap-fasten-
ers are sewed to the chemisettes or
blouse, which BY this means may be
fastened either high or low-for street
or indoor wear. When the lower
fastening is used the snapfastener oc'
curing on the outer left side Of the
garment is covered by the inevitable
rose which every woman pins to her
left shoulder or against the left side
of the bodice, near the shoulder.

DICTATES OF FASHION

The skirt of the new corsets Is
slightly shorter.
There is tendency to trim all suits
with fur.
Black velvet jackets are trimmed
with astrakhan.
Pearls are again being used a great
deal for embroideries.
Flounces and ruffies share the inter-
est with tunic and plaits.
The hat shaped like jockey cap is
the latest fad in millinery.
White crepe de chine blouses are
trimmed with striped pique.
There's to be a revival of "tippets"
and barrel muffs, and these quaint
items of the feminine toilet will be
made OF velvet and of thick satin and
trimmed with bands of fur.
For morning, hats are being made OF
ribbon velvet and of thick brocaded
silk. These models are untrimmed
save for a band of handsome ribbon
round the crown, and they are worn
with washing wells of real lace.

TUNICS FOR EVENING

Laces figure importantly again In

the sheer, delicately traced laces rath-

One of the most effective tunics
that has been seen was made Of Chan

with a band Of the charmeuse.

is mounted over a long tunic OF white
chiffon bordered with ermine, and this

in the ermine tails that hang around

RISES HIGH FROM The RANKS

Most encouraging to the many
young Englishmen who have enlisted
in the ranks to fight for their country
in the European war is the promotion
of Sir William Robertson to be lieu
tenant general OF the British army In
France. His career has been decided
ly romantic and shows how one who
begins at the bottom Of the ladder
may In time climb to the upper rungs.
In the past several enlisted men have
risen to the grade of colonel and even
OF major general. one Of the latter
being the late Sir Hector Macdonald.
but Sir William Robertson is the first
''ranker" to attain to lieutenant gen.
eralship. For ten years he served as
a trooper in the Sixteenth lancers,
and then, at the age Of Twenty-Five,
he was commissioned a lieutenant of
the Third dragon guards. In the
Black Mountain and Miranzai expedi-
lions and the Chitral relief expedition,
on the Indian frontier, he so distin-
guished himself that he was permitted
