THE NEW CELEBRATION

Every pa!roitic American will be thankful that the Fourth of July this wear finds us at peace with all na- lions. with the excellent crop pros meets and with financial facilities to transact the business of the country. Every loyal citizen should observe Independence Day this ylear with a feeling of profound thankfulness and with new resolutions of cooperation for a greater nation and a better state.
 It is espec ally fitting that our cele- brations this year be free from fire works, war "boasts," advice for "pre- paredness"' "' and political antagonism. Why not introduce new sentiment of loyalty, cooperation, neighborly kindness and citizenship in so far as it applies to our own people ? Surely we are entering upon new will mean lore to us in the future han it has in the past, because we are to free ourselves from our own selishness ahd declare ourselves ca pable of meeting our own responsi- bilites and obligations to people of other countries. If we are to become a greater factor in agriculture, in manufacturing, in commerce and in Christian citizenship it were time we declare our independence of politics, of selfish inGividualism and of dan gerous militarism.
 Why not designate and celebrate July 1, 1915, as the beginning of a new are for the people of the United States; day when war is forgotten, politics escheWed and selishness ban ished a day when neighbor meets neigh5or with the hand of fellowship as a token of cooperation, sympathy and kindness; day when the people of the Southwest pledge their faith in the integrity of their neighbors, re- new confidence in the future of oul farms, stor3, banks, factories, schools and churches And give notice to the world that in observing Indepen- dence Day we will henceforth be more independent in financial, social and economic affairs.-Farm and Ranch.

GOOD ENOUGH

With the coming of the silo,
 And the going of the tick; With a bumper crop of peaches,
 And with goobers growing thick With gardens full of goodies,
 With flowers ful of bees; With mocking birds a-singing
 In the bushes. and the trees; With fields of corn a-waving,
 And shocks of golden wheat, And juicy watermelons
 Just a-growing to be eat; With cantaloupes a-coming,
 And stock all doing fine; And lucious grapes in punches
 On every blessed vine; With prospects never equalled
 For good old pumpkin pie; With springs of crystal water
 And broo'-s a-rippling by; With Cossatot and Rolling Fork
 Flowing onward to the sea, Grand old Sevier county
 Is good enough for me. -DeQueen, Ark, Bee.

Why Farmers Need Automobiles.

In an article in the current issue of Farm and Firside automobiles are taken up and discussed as labor-sav~ ing and timc-saving devices. Follow ing is an extract from the article showing how farmers need automobi- les:
 "No one class of men has more real need for a ear than does the farmer. To most farmers a car is an invest ment, to most other men it is a luxury -at least a roint must be stretched to figure out new it is really and truly an investment.
 "The experiences of a business man living some distance from his place of business will be interesting here.
 This car was five-passenger tour Ing car in the $1,500 class. It was driven an average of ten miles day With three p;' sengers.
 This car cost $500, and at the end of the three years sold for S600. The depreciation amounted to more than the first cost of some five-pas- Senger cars. The repairs were made at commercial garages. This item of expense will be reduced to almost nothing by farmer who cares for his own car. IT.; labor charge at a ga rage Is more than the cost of the re- par part itse,f, rates ranging from 30 cents to S1 an hour. I have a friend whose garage bill for tle repair Of ms car was S14.15. On investigation ne found that the 15 cents was for a bolt and the S14 for labor!
 But even at the figures shown his uayellng did not cost him as much as would havo cost to travel the same number of miles by buggy or wagon.
 ms man travelled an average dis @nce of 10 niles day. This required aoOut half m hour for each of the uree persons in the car. Whereas would have required at least two HourS a day to have made the same Uip With driving team, and three "i'h work team. Also it costs about " cents a day to feed a team of nurses. So that by the time you figure m the time involved, and the costs ', operation. the balance is in favor VI Vhe automobile-even when the cos. PCT mlle is as high as it is in this case"

 Do not dodge. Whatever the diff culties to be met, they are not made easier by trying to dodge them. In trying to dodge missile from one di- .rection you may come in line with one from different direction. When we dodge trouble we are more than like ly to get into other trouble no less Ieasy to endure. Look with courage on what must be met. Faced with |courage, difficulties and half conquer ed. Better meet and conquer diff culties than to dodge them. Do not dodge-duties that devolve on you. Duties performed add strength and dignity to character. It matters lit tie what these duies are; hough hey be of the si lplest and humblest, well and truly done, they acquire dignity. Stand up bra|ely and squarely to meet the difficulties of life. With courage you will conquer. You will come through life with fewer sears than by trying to do6ge duty or difficulty. Trying to evade begets in a man a cringing spirit.

INDUSTRY
 IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

Washington, D. c, June 29.-In 25 wears the value of American cotton seed products has risen from S2O.OOO.- 900 to $136, 100000, and many people in the cotton districts can remember when the cotton seed accumulated in huge piles a'out the ginneries, just as sawdust does near the sawmills. And it was just as worthless as the sawdust. To day the cotton fields of the United States have to large eX- tent replaced in our economic system the olive groves of the Mediterranean district. The oil is a first-class edible product and the cake left after crush ing the seed constitutes an equally valuable catt'e feed.
 These cottcnseed products have en- tered largely into our export trade, and the fact that there was falling off in exports from $42, 2,000,000 in 1913 to $25,000,0C0 in 1914 has led to an investigation of the entire foreign field by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the Depart ment of Commerce. The results of the investigation are embodied in a monograph entitled "Cottonseed In dustry in Foreign Lands", which is a compilation of information from con sular reports and other sources by Dr. Thomas II. Norton, Commercial Agent of the Bureau.
 Outside of cotton growing lands, Great Britain and Germany are the only countries in which cotton seed is
 regularly crushed on a very large scale. Egyptian cotton seed is en- ployed in Germany; Egyptian and h. dian chiefly in Great Britain. More success has been obtain in Germany in producing an edible oil, fairly ri valing the best grade of American oil, than has been the case with Bri- tish crushers. The German manufac- ture is under thee ontrol of leading American firm in this industry.
 The monograph deals eXhaustively with the question of cottonseed crush ing in the countries where cotton is grown-especially India, Egypt, Asia tic Russia, Turkey, and China, on the other side of the globe, and Mexico, Brazil, and Peru in our Hemisphere. In none of these countries is the in dustry so ia" developed as to threat CT the marke ts for American oil and meal, with one ception-Asiatic Russia. Turkestan is peculiarly ia vored by soil and climate for cotton culture. A large group of the oil mills in that country are equipped
 with American machinery, and there is a marked ambition to produce grad es equal to the choicer qualities of American oil.
 There is an interesting chapter de- voted to the effects of the war on the exports vi cottonseed products, iG which it is shown that after the first mcnths Of h,stilities there has been rapid mcr, aee in the value of both cake and il sold abroad.
