Sausage From Cottonseed.

The United States is certainly the
"land of cotton" declares an exchange.
Nowhere else in the world is cotton
grown in such abundance. ana put to
such variety of uses. The fiber, OF
course, is made into cloth, the oil from
the seeds is used as a cheap substitute
for olive oil and as basis for lard,
and now the seeds themselves are be-
ing ground into -four and used for food
purposes, says Popular Science Month

made from il. and il is mixed with
finely chopped meat and tied in sausage

flour This -four is said to contain Is
much nutrition as the meat which ii
takes the place of, and to effect Il saw

AIcrtness for Mental Scuffie,

Wit sharpens Wit Every man that
has been compelled TO converse with
his fellows knows the Joys of being
able Ia parley and parry mental sal
lies. Quick action needs room. You
can't have it when Your atiic'S fun,
says writer Remove everything
that does not add to your working
stock and there will be mental room
and alcrtuess for any sculIlc. The fact
tlat YOU are challenged puts YOU on
your metal. Seeing YOU ready for
mental combat StirS others TO the same
end. And that's good for the world.
There's too much taking things aS
they come for the best progress. We
need little more getting things lined
up for the best effectiveness. When
the attics clear YOU can take oppor-
tunlty by the forelock and turn him

DOESN'T IT GET YOU

When you read in the papers of the exploits of our brave boys on the western front, doesn't get yOu you fellows who showed the white feather and took exemption, to think that the good red blood that should have been in you is yellow? Doesn't it make your pulse beat little faster when you think that you might have been of these brave fellows who are going into glorious battle for the saving of the human race from the crueltes of the Hun? The chance to get into this world is of the greatest things in the life of the loyal American We know that the severing of home ties is the saddest thing in the life of man. but back of it all is the preservation of the honor and integrity of the Nation and the protection of the lives and honor of en- Had it not been for that nation of fighters France-the Hun would be ruthlessly piaging the cities of America today, and would be the sacrifice just as they have been in Belgium and northern France. The people of the United States have to thank their God that the noble of France stood between them and these savage beasts of Prs sia and now it is up to the people of our country to make every sacrifice to give aid and comfort to them in the war they waging for the preservation of their own sunny land and for all humanity. And we say again, doesn't it give you jingle of pride to know that boys getting into the battle front and giving good account of themselves, and don't YOU wish you were one of them, fighting and per- haps dying for our glorious old flag and the preser vatOn of all that it stands for? Well, we think so, and our only regret is that born too soon to get into the fight that is sure to be waged to cessfuI conclusion by Uncle Samuel and his mil lions of brawny, brainy boys.

SCIENTIFIC LIMITATION"

You would not think that the war is affecting the production of common window glass; and yet the output of that product is to be reduced this to half the amount manufactured in 1917. Inasmuch as the government is to follow the same policy in respect of considerable number of articles that ter into domestic consumption, it is interesting to trace the methods whereby governmental purpose ds formed
 It must be evident to all that building will be greatly reduced during at least this calendar Carefully surveying the entire field the government came to the conclusion that not more than 5,OOO,OOO boxes of window glass should be used. The cOmpeti
 tive conditions that would result would lead to over manufacture, whereupOn government laid the sit- uation before capital and labor engaged in the indus try with the result that manufacturers agreed to re- duce the output 50 per cent and labor in the indus try pledged itself to bear it's portion of the sacrifice
 Now this cut in the production of window glass means the saving of 5OOOOO tons of cOal or its oil equivalent and as the United States fuel admins tration calculates "the removal of at least 1SOOO carloads of merchandise freight from the railroads" That will release td the of war transportation facilities that otherwise would be economically vast ed and will tend to the building up of an adequate fuel reserve.
 In like manner the fuel administration is confer ring with all industries, using large quantities of fuel with the purpose of arriving at percentage of pro- duction that will bear nearly possible the true relation to the years reasonably anticipated demand Fuel administrators call this system of scientific limitation. It is all of that. The same principles, applied to the different industries, cannot fail to be productive of advantage and strengthen the country to the winning of the war.-L. A. Express

DR. E. $. MILLER
 JEWELED BY LODGE

Dr. E. S. Miller was righly honored during the convention of the Masonic Grand Lodge bodies at Tucson, when he was presented with a splendid jewel denoting the fact that he had been signally honored by the Supreme Body of Scottish Rite Masons with the thir- ty-third degree of Masonry.
 It is a beautiful piece of jewelry, fittingly engraved, showing from whom the honor came and the name of him who received the token of re- spect and esteem.
 Few Masons can more worthily wear the emblem than Dr. Miller, for such honors are bestowed for the work done by brother-Coconino Sun.
 The above will be pleasant news to the many Kingman friends of Dr. Mil Ter, who are more than gratified to learn of anything good for the doctor.

THRIFT STAMPS BUY

You, Mir. Citizen, and every other man, woman and child in the United States, is cale6 on by Uncle Sam to purchase before the end of this year. your share of war savings and thrift stamps. Your share is $2O for the year. When you have subscribed to that amount, you have your full quota But there is nothing to prohibit your purchasing more than full quota-not until you have 5000 worth, when the government says you shall buy no more.
 But each little stamp you buy has a purchasing power for the soldier in France preparing to leave for France. Each day, when you have an extra quar- ter half dollar, and you purchase, two, or four stamps, you aiding just so much in equip ping the army. Here is what the little stamps rep resent in commercial value to the United States, in fighting value to the soldier and in comfort, equip ment and munitions:
 One little thrift stamp will buy tent pole, or five tent pns waist belt or hat cord, shoe faces den- tificatiOn card.
 Two thrift stamps will buy one trench tool or pair of wOOlen gloves
 Four thrift stamps will buy two pairs of canvass leggins.
 Six thrift stamps will buy five pairs of wOOlen socks three suits of summer underwear.
 Twelve thrift stamps will buy steel helmet
 Sixteen thrift stamps and small additional sum will buy one war savings stamp, and war-savings stamps will purchase follows:
 One war-savings stamp will buy one hundred cart ridges, or cartridge Delt or scaOOard TUT od!O- net.
 Two war-savings stamps will purchase two palrs of wOOlen breeches or two flannel shirts.
 Three war-savings stamps will buy OvercOat or two wOOlen service cOats
 Three and one-half war-savings stamps will buy three pairs of wOOen blankets.
 Four war-savings stamps will purchase rifle.
 Four war-savings stamps will have completed your quota Then it's up to you whether you will do more than your bit and whether you shall decide that the present is time for doing your "durndest" or your "best" or your limit" rather than just doing your "bit."

CHAINS AND EDUCATION

Did you ever try tq drive motor car through the snow without tire chains? If you did you know what happens. Your rear wheels buzz around as if they were swimming in grease, your engine roars and coughs and tries to shake itself to pieces, you make a terrible racket-and get abso- lutely nowhere. You have enough power in your motor to move 10 times the weight of your car, and it isn't worth a cent-because your wheels cannot take hold Right then tire chains are more valuable than any other part of your car. Now, then, a boy without an education is like a car without chains. He's got the engine; he's filled with gasoline; the whole equipment is there, but when the en- zine starts up the wheels simply buzz around because there's nothing for them to take hold of. Education is what gives a boy his traction in heavy going. Be sure you have it in your tool kit.-The American Boy.

WAGING WAR WITH WASTE

Az in many other things in this war, it must be admitted that Germany set the in conservation when she collected in year thousands of tons of fruit stones, and also induced the peasants to grow sunfIowers that the oil might be extracted from the stones and seeds. Taking hint from the enemy, England began a systematic overhauling of cellars and garrets, and, says the London Daily Mail:
 "In IsIington for example, over 100000 empty bot ties were collected realizing 46O pounds which pur chased mOtOr-ambulance for the front. This col lection was copied by Wordsworth and Gipsy Hill, and each locality realized about 100 pounds. HOr- sham, it is said, competed with Devon town to which should collect the greater quantity of silver paper. Birmingham seems to have been particular ly apprecatve of ordinary paper and cardboard, and so active have been the steps taken by the corpora tiOn that with the aid of the dustmen and bailing presses the amount recovered has risen from 400 to 1000 tons per Preston and Ednburg may also be mentioned two centers where waste-paper has received special attention. It 5 estimated that the kingdom might easily provide annually 2OO, 900 tons, which would mean million sterling from this alone.
 "The latest campaign is that of HOlbOrn which is the lookout for old pots and pans. Some centers collect sphagnum moss and wild thyme others dande lion and foxglOve roots; in parts the school children gather hOrse-chestnuts for the director of propeIlant supplies and acOrns for the local pig geres in others these allowed to rot under the trees."-E.

DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN

bill is pending in the house to establish the day light saving system throughout the United States This measure provides that the clocks of the country shall be advanced one hour at a. m. the last Sunday in March and turned back again until the last Sunday in October.
 A unanimous report for the passage of the bill has been made by the interstate and foreign commerce committee.
 The senate already has passed similar bill which provides for the operation of the system for five months of the year instead of does the house bill.
 This system has been generally adopted in the countries of Europe and has proved success It is attended with complications here because of the vast distances and the consequent differences in time The difficulties not serious, however, and will inconvenience seriously,
 The bill provides that the interstate commerce. commission shall issue the order making the change The time for this change, m. eastern tme Sun day, was chosen as the day for making the change because at that time practically all business through out the country is at standstil.
 Under the proposed plan, on the morning of April 1 when you get up at by the clock you will really be rising at the emneny respectable hour of s, as your clock will be hour fast.
 Likewise when you quit work at 5 on the new system it will really only be f. and you will have something like five hours of daylight after you end your days work.
 And all because the clocks have been advanced an hour. It is estimated that this will save millions
