A marriage license was issued the
last of the week by Judge Campbell
to Oliver Akers and Mrs. Mary E.

John l.. Boles, secretary of the
Equity Exchange and one of Seward
county's prominent farmers, is erect

barn ever put up in the county, on
his farm west of town, and is putting
up two large silos to go with it. John
takes quite an interest in sheep and

R. l.. McMinnville and Mrs. Flor
ence E. Iaslie were married Satur-
day night. Bob. has been employed
by the city in the street and water
department for several years and has
always proven a faithful employee.
The bride is unknown to us but we
hope she measures up to Bob's. high
est expectations. A few weeks ago
when Bob. was telling Chas. Sum-
mers about the contemplated mar
rage, Mr.. Summers agreed to give
him a new pair of overalls if he
would promise to get married while
wearing them. Saturday he called
for his overalls and used them for his
wedding suit. The Democrat has
known him for nearly ten years and
has always found him an honest and
industrious man. We wish them a
long and happy married life.

ANOTHER KIND OF WEATHER

There has been decided change
in the weather since Saturday night.
1t turned cold that afternoon and
started to snow Sunday afternoon,
but owing to the high wind the snow
did no good and was visible only In
a few spots the next day. The week
has been cold one and Wednesday
night the country was treated to
about two inches Of snow. 1t didn't
amount to much but makes the land
scape look little more like Christ
mas than 1t has heretofore. The
crops are not suffering for moisture
but good rain or fall Of snow right
now would be welcomed by the farm
ers.

COED GOWNS ARE CENSORED
Some GirIc Sent Home From Dances
-Frocks Are Too Low at Top or
Too High at Bottom.

Bloomington, Ind.-The Indiana uni
versity authorities have established a
censorship Of clothes worn by the CO.
eds"
The censorship is in charge Of Miss
Ruby G. e. Mason, dean Of women,
who is attending all dances and in
speeding the frocks and gowns. II
the evening gowns OF the girls do not
conform to regulations as to length
and style, the wearers are sent back
to their rooms for a change OF attire.
This has happened to several young
women recently. The censorship is
established because of the lOy1ty of
the Indiana ''co-eds" to the prevailing
styles, especially in dancing frocks.
The frocks have been cut SO low from
the chin and SO high from the ground
that they have been shocking to some,
the university authorities say. all
during the winter.

Cherry Pits, Now Source OF An
noyance, Can Be Made to
Yield Valuable Oils.
new INDUSTRY IS POSSIBLE
Specialists in u. S. Department OF Az
ricuIture Declare Also That f05s-
600 Gallons OF Juice Now
Thrown Away May Be
Converted Into jelly
and SIrup.

Washington, d. C.-Sixteen hundred
tons Of cherry pits, now source or
annoyance and expense to canneries,
can be made to yield two valuable oils
and also meal for feeding cattle, &C
cording to specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture. In
addition, 10000 gallons Of cherry
Juice now wasted in seeding cherries
can be turned into desirable jelly and
strip, or even into alcohol. A saving
of these valuable by-products from
cherry canning may make possible the
domestic manufacture OF substitutes
for almond oil and bitter-almond oil,
now imported, and at the same time
establish a new industry in the cherry
packing districts of the North Allan
tic, North Central and Western states.
The specialists, however, have not
yet carried their work to point
where they can say that the convert
ing of this Juice and the cherry pits
would be profitable side industry for
the ordinary or smaller cannery. In
cases where a number of Gamers are
operating within reasonable distance
of one another, the specialists, how
ever. believe that the waste products
could be sent to a central cooperative
or other plant at small cost and there
utilized to advantage. Studies. how
ever, are being carried on to deter
mine whether means cannot be de-
vised for making these waste products
profitable also when handled on a
small scale.
Some time ago there was similar in
vestigation Of the use of peach and
apricot pits for making oils and
meal, and a commercial enterprise
has been established in California for
dealing with these products. The de-
partment has published bulletin on
this subject and also one dealing with
the utilization of raisin seed from
the seeded raisin industry. 1t was
found that many tons of raisin seed
had considerable fruit adhering to
them which could readily be turned
into very desirable raisin strip for
the use of confecuoners and others.
After this pulp had been used 1t was
found that an oil useful in the arts
could profitably be pressed from the
seed, and experiments are under way
to determine whether the crushed
seed could not be used to advantage
in feeding stock.
The following description of these
products, and methods which have
been developed for making them, are
taken from professional paper $50,
1.-THE Utilization of Cherry By-Prod-
ucts," by Frank Rabak, chemical
biologist, bureau of plant industry.
Fixed Oil From Cherry Pits.
THE kernel of the pit, as long has
been known, contains considerable
quantity of oil. Investigations re-
Gently conducted show that the oily
constituents of the kernel can be con-.
verted into fixed oil much like al
mond OIL and volatile oil practically
identical with oil of bitter almonds.

The residue after these oils are ex-
tracted shows on analysis ingredients
that may make 1t practical cattle
feed similar to linseed cake.
The fixed oil is the most important
by-product of cherry pits. It has q
golden yellow color and pleasant
nutlike taste and odor. In character
it is so closely related to imported al
mond Oil that it is believed to pos
sess similar possibilities in the COM
mercial manufacture of drugs, oils
and soap.
IF the pits of all domestic cherries.
now thrown away at canneries, and
the pits extracted from imported cher
ries, were processed in this way 1t Is
estimated that they would yield $780,
900 pounds of fixed Oil, worth in the
neighborhood of twenty cents q
pound. The best quality Of this fixed
oil is extracted from the kernels in
hydraulic presses. The shells OF the
pits are first cracked in mill and the
unc-nshed kernels separated out with
SiCNCS. uC Ofl 10 tnCAl "a OcoSN O~~
from the meats. In laboratory ex-
pertinent the kernels yielded II per
cent OF fixed oil under pressure OF
1850 pounds to the square. inch. On
a commercial scale, however. with
presses equipped for heating the kerr
nels under pressure, it is believed that
80 per cent or more can be obtained.
The oil also can be obtained by grind
ing the pits and extracting by means
of solvents.
Volatile Oil Second Product.
THE volatile oil, the second product,
remains in the pressed cake after the
fixed oil has been extracted by pres
sure or by solvents. The volatile oil
is then secured by chemical means
and distillation. In the experiments
tie oil was obtained at the rate of
nearly one pound for every 100 pounds
Of residue treated. 1t is estimated
that 5000 pounds of this volatile oil
could be obtained II all the cherry
pits handled at canneries could be
used. The value Of this by-product,
