in both passenger and commercial
fields. A number of committees have
prepared reports which will be pre-

GOOD MONEY IN
COTTON SEED MEAL

Because of the abundant supply
of cottonseed meal there is likely
to be in this country this year, spe-
cialists in the Department of Agri-
culture believe that the farmer has
a better opportunity to make money
by feeding beef cattle than for some
time past. The feeding value Of cot
tonseed meal has been recognized by
agricultural authorities for some
time and large quantities of it are
exported annually to Europe where
the farmers, especially those in
Denmark, are we'll aware of its use
fulness.
1t is estimated that this year 49,
900 900 bales of cotton will be pro-
duced in the United States. This
should yield 6,s8O,0OO tons Of seed
While all of this will not be crushed
il last years proportions hold good
again, about 100000 tons of cot
Itonseed meal will be available, and
as the foreign market gives promise
lof being greatly reduced, there
lought to be corresponding de
crease in the price of the meal, max
ing it especially desirable for feed
ing purposes.

PROMINENT PENSACOLA
MAN KILLS HIMSELF

Pensacola, Oct. 19.-F. E.
Brawner, for many years a promi-
nent business man Of Pensacola,
ended his life shortly before noon
Saturday by sending bullet
through his brain. The deed was
committed in the Coe Book Store,
owned by Mr.. Brawner, and 1t
caused great excitement in that Sec
ton of the city. 1t was great sur
prise for the reason that only q few
moments prior he stood at the front
door of the store talking with some
friends. Suddenly ceasing the con-
versation he turned and walking to
the cash register, located about the
middle of the store building, drew q
revolver and fired the shot which
ended his life. Mr.. Brawner was
president of the Pensacola State
bank when it suspended last Decem-
ber, and many advanced the theory
| in the absence of any letter left by
him, that the suicide was caused by
worry over this failure, but it was
| stated by what is considered an au.
| thoritative source that other finan
cial obligations had worried Mr..
Brawner for several weeks and tha
no later than an hour before his sui
eide he had received a threatening
message over the telephone from
person who came to the city yester
day morning. 1t was alleged tha
Mr.. Brawner was due this person
large sum, and the latter had re
tanned counsel and had threatene
him with arrest.
