WHY THE FARMER
URGED TO SELL
ALL COTTONSEED

During the war it is particularly
important that the farmer sell his
cottonseed instead OF feeding it di-
rect to the cattle. This is not based
on any desire on the part Of the gov
ernmnent or anyone else to take adj
vantage of any class OF people, but
is worked out on a scientific basis
which may be readily seen from the
following information prepared for
that purpose: ~
Basing your cottonseed at So4
per ton, meal and cake on 40 per
cent protein at $56.50 per ton retail
and hulls at $22 50 retail, the follow
ing results are obtained
One ton Of seed produced 9So
pounds of cake which costs the far
mer $27.S2; one ton OF seed pro-
duces SIS pounds OF hulls which
cost the farmer $50.
1t is estimated that the hulls and
meal. which are milled under the
government supervision, contain all
OF the practical food value OF the
cottonseed. In other words, the
farmer buys back in the form OF
hulls and meal, for $33.6l, all the
food value he would get out OF his
ton of seed if he fed i direct. This
leaves l45 pounds OF lint cotton
which is very valuable and which the
government has requisitioned from
each cotton mill for the purpose OF
making cellous or fiber for ammu-
nition purposes. There is 255 pounds
OF oil in excess OF what is figured
to be good for cattle. In other
words, the seed direct contains too
much oil to make good fattening for
cattle. This oil will make "a gal
Ions. which is being used for edible
fats and is being sold as very sat
isfactory substitute for lard. In ad-
dition to this, the residue is used
for making nitroglycerine for the
government. 1t is estimated that
there is 100 pounds OF dirt in each
ton of seed which is a clear loss
to the farmer who feeds it.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the farmer may take his
seed to the mill or its representative
and arrange for an exchange of his
seed for an equal value in feed, SO
the farmer in addition to saving
5000 in actual value on a ton OF
seed, is aiding the government to
the extent above set forth. 1t is to
be hoped. when this is understood
thoroughly, that the people will gen.
orally comply with it.

THE KAISER'S LOOKS.

According to Swiss account, the
kaiser appears greatly aged. His
hair is described as now snow-white,
and his shoulders as stopped.
The emperor's eyes are feverish,
his gestures abrupt, and his face,
which is severely lined and tanned,
gives the general impression OF a
man suffering great sorrow.
Very good! ii that is true, it is
precisely as it should be. How else
should a man look and act, when
he has been the principal figure in
the most stupendous crime in all his
tory, and when at last Eternal us
tice is beginning TO oyertake him,
mis- fellow-conSpirators and the ma
lion that has lent itself TO their evil
purposes?
The kaiser even deserves sort
Of credit for breaking under the
strain, il he is really doing so. 1t
shows that he has some slight ves-
tiges OF conscience left, and is hu-
man after all.
With this Slight reservation, how
ever, the majority of mankind are
content 70 leave him to his fate, TAX
ing a certain grim satisfaction in
seeing him drain the cup OF sorrow
to the dregs. He can never, him
self, in this life at least, suffer a
millionth part of the misery he has
brought upon others. If he showed
no sign of suffering, we might think
there was no God in Heaven.

stiff spine grew supple again. They
drilled into him self'confidencc, and
got the cooperation OF his own
will.
Soon he found that he could, by
a great effort, straighten out his
back in bed. In another week he
could straighten it when standing,
He is now walking with upright car
riage, for the first time since early
boyhood The experts "have taken
that hump off his back and made it
bulge out his chest" He walks with
an easy stride, too, for the surgeons
have also renovated the arches in
his feet.
That is the sort of thing the army
is doing right along. The case men
toned is an extreme one, but there
are tens of thousands OF cases OF
the same general nature. Uncle
Sam is making every man he takes
hold OF straighten up and walk with
an easy, manly stride.

STRENGTHENING HUMPS.

A medical writer tells of selec-
tive service man who came TO the
training camp so round-shouldered
that he looked like a hunch-back.
The sternest drillmaster could not
make him straigten up and throw
back his shoulders. Physical exer-
else did no apparent good. He
seemed permanently bent out of
all soldierly semblance. And then,
his feet went bad, too.
They did not send that young fell
low back to the farm as hopeless
case. The army surgeons took hold
OF him and got TO work in earnest.
They massaged and twisted and
pulled and hauled him until that

Weak, thin people-men or women
are nearly always nervous wrecks
thus conclusively proving that thin
ness, weakness, debility and neuras-

nerve starvation. Feed your nerves
and all these symptoms due to nerve

Eminent specialists state that the
best nerve food is an organic phosphate

Weak, tired people regain strength

BLOND HAIR FROM
FAR AWAY NORTH
PROVES FAIR RACE.

Seattle, Wash. Sept. l2-Blond
hair from the blond Eskimos alleged
proof of the existence of that strange
far away tribe--is being brought
back to civilization by the explorer
Vilhialmur Stefansson, according to
P. c. Lepetich, miner who recently
arrived here from Fort Yukon
Alaska, where he saw the explorer.
Stefansson, it is believed, will arrive
here this month.
Stefansson is credited with the
discovery of the light skinned ma
tives far up on Canada's Arctic rim.
He found the tribe in 1908 while
commanding an expedition fitted out
by the Canadian government and
the American Museum OF Natural
History.
The party penetrated into the
white lands, marked "uninhabited'
on the maps, far east Of the Macken-
zie River, and in 1910, on Corona
ton Gulf, found Fskimos who had
never seen white mer from the out
side. According to Stefarsson, they
numbered probably 1000. Unlike
their dark hued brothers of Alaska,
they had white skin many had red
hair the men wore full boards and
all had LIGHT eyebrows.
News of the discovery was brought
back to the outside world by Stefans'
son in 1912. In 1913 he set out
again for the north on the trip he
is now bringing to close. From
Lepetichs statement, it is believed
that Stefansson during the past two
years made another trip to the land
of these little known natives.

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

The school administration has ar
ranged for a, special time schedule in
the afternoon providing for a long
sixth period to be used by those who
were absent through sickness before
the closing of school, in making up
lost work. This schedule will continue
as long as there is need of it.
Mr. Moorehead has taken advantage
of this plan and will have special
hikes for the boys who are free and
wish to go. They will take place dur
the sixth period.
The football management has ar
ranged a, game with Crosby High
school of Waterbury to be played in
that city Saturday. The football
schedule of this and other schools has

CABLE RATE SUSPENDED.

Owing to a new ruling of the West
ern Union Cd, in the future anyone
sending cablegrams to soldiers in
France will have to pay the regular
cable rates. This order was made
necessary by the increased volume of
government business daily passing
through this country. Some time ago
the company announced that a 1ew
rate of cents per word was to be put
into effect during the war. Now it
will be necessary for the local Office
to reject any cablegrams other than
those rated as first class. The suspen-
sion, however, is temporary.
