pulled up.
Elaine was quite Ill indeed.
"Ohl I'm so glad to see YOU" she
breathed with an air OF relief as Ken
nedy advanced.
"Why-what is the matter?" asked
Craig anxiously.
Doctor Hayward shook his head du-
biously, but Kennedy did not notice
him. for, as he approached Elaine, she
drew from the covers where she had
concealed II a letter and handed 1t to
him.
Craig took 1t and read

morrow you will be worse. The next
day you will die unless you discharge

At the signature of the Clutching
Hand he frowned, then, noticing Doc
tor Hayward, turned to him and re-
peated his question, What is the mat

Doctor Haywafu continued shaking
his head. Il cannot diagnose her

There seemed to be faint odor, al
most as IL of garlic, in the room. It
was unmistakable and Craig looked
about him curiously, but said nothing.
AS he shifted, he moved impatiently
and his foot touched Rusty. under the
bed. Rusty whined and moved back
lazily. Craig bent over and looked
at him.
What's the matter with Rusty?" he
asked Us he sick, too?"
why, yes" answered Elaine, fol-
lowing Craig with her deep eyes.
Craig reached down and gently
pulled the collie out into the room.
Rusty crouched down close to the
floor. His nose was hot and dry and
feverish. He was plainly i'll.
How long has Rusty been In the
room?" asked Craig.
"All night" answered Elaine. II
wouldn't think of being without him
now"
May take Rusty along with met"
Craig asked finally.
Elaine hesitated. Surely" she said
at length, only be gentle with him"
"Of course" he said simply. II
thought that | might be able to dis
cover the trouble from studying him"
We stayed only few minutes
longer, for Kennedy seemed to realize
the necessity of doing something i'm

Cotton Seed Crushers' Convention

The nineteenth annual convention of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' association has assembled here large and representative body of business men and Birmingham bids the visitors hearty welcome.
 The commercial uses to which cot ton seed have been turned have added greatly to the wealth of the south and from this by-product has been de- veloped in recent years one of the most prosperous of modern industries. During the sessions of the convention there will be many discussions seek ing the advancement of the seed in dustry from it's business side and ad- dresses more or less technical will be heard. They will be of absorbing interest to the members of the assoc citation.
 J. J. Culbertson of Paris, Tex, vice president of the interstate organiZa- ton, in his response to the local ad- dresses of welcome took occasion to stress the point that cotton is no longer to be viewed as a one-crop proposition. The valuable by products of the cotton seed have made the crop one of broad diversification. MT. Gull bertson, of course, believes that the cotton farmer should strive to raise all the feedstuff he needs, and further more that he should increase the yield of cotton to the acre. Progressive ag- riculture means the economy of pro duction and in this the cotton south is making steady headway.
 Mir. Culbertson takes no stock in the idea that the south should raise less cotton than 1t has been raising. The same big crops on less acreage should, in his opinion, be the slogan of the cot ton states. But above all Mr. Culbert- son asks the public in considering diversified farming to get the fact well in mind that cotton itself is a diversification crop.
