FOURTEEN WANT
 PUBLIC OFFICE
Governors Imperial Ukase, How ever, Prevents Republicans
 From Entering Race.

There are fourteen candidates, announced and otherwise, for the office of public weigher in Greene county. This list does not include the names of one or two republi- cans who had originally believed themselves to be naturalized citi- zens, but who, under Gov. Broughs strict interpretation of politics, are merely taxpayers. The governors imperial ukase to the effect that re- gardless of how the county might vote, these strangers in strange land would not be eligible for the office, has resulted in a withdrawal of at least one or two who had ex- pected to contend for the nomina- tion. The time for placing names on tickets expired Saturday. The list shows the following hopeful endeavorers:
 T. R. Willcockson, M. F. Phillips, Jas. H. Daniels, Henry Coleman, Joe II. Brewster, J. G. Hall, J. T. Hopkins, G. T. Breckenridge, w. w. (Buck) Barron, J. P. West brook, w. D. Hester, Cecil Kennedy, w. J. Brewer, H~ M. Spillman.

carbide in the company's yards. The
workmen lost no time in disposing OF
the carbide by dumping 1t in the river,
as they were well aware Of It's ex-
plosive qualities. This discovery may
solve the mystery of the numerous
fires in the coal cards and bins this
year, as carbide is highly inflammable
and easily ignited by friction. The
carbide may have been placed in the
car by mistake at the mines, for the
miners use carbide for furnishing
light.

Cotton Seed Meal Mlslabeled.

Much so-called cotton seed meal
has been shipped into northern states
during the past two years. which has
not contained the amount CT protein
and fat claimed on the labels, accord
ing to Commissioner Frary, of the
state food department. The large crop
OF soft orn this year will, no doubt,
require the use Of large amounts of
concentrated feed for cattle in the
feed lots and feeders and farmers
should be very careful in The selection
of cotton seed feeds. In recent years
the cotton oil millers of the south
have been adding more and more of
the hulls of the seed to the oil cake
meal, thereby reducing the feeding
value of the product. High grade cot
ton seed meal should contain 40 TO ~
per cent of protein and S to 8 per cent
of fat. Much of the meal now mark
eted contains less than So per cent
protein, and, because Of the added
hulls, the amount OF crude fiber is
largely increased. The South Dakota
law requires all bags of cotton seed
feed TO be plainly labeled to show the
composition, and buyers should close
ly watch the analysis as claimed by
the label. Usually the difference in
feeding value between the pure cot
ton seed meal and the meal contain
ing ground hulls more than equalizes
the difference in price. so that the
cheapest feed is obtained by purchas-
ing the pure, high-protein meal.
