disciples that the truth should be re-
vealed and be brought TO light; but the
purpose of His giving the truth to them
was in order that they might spread u.
Good ground is that which bears fruit
Unless the seed does bring forth frult,
the soil is not good; for the seed is al
right. He warned them, therefore, that
they should take heed how they near
for God would hold them to account tor

gives MS grace in order that we may be-
come stewards of the manifold grace Of
God. Therefore Jesus added that IN

man who does not use the knowledge
that he has, not only never acquires any
more but even loses some OF that ne

Take heed, therefore, how ye hear; for II
you want to get. you must give. This Is
the law of the spiritual Kingdom.
The Growth of the Kingdom
Lest the disciples should feel, how
ever. that the kingdom of God depended
ON their efforts. He told them that the
kingdom of God was like a man casting
seed upon the earth and going to sleep
and the seed springs up and grows in a
way he knows not how; for hrst comes
the blade, and then the ear, and then the
full grain in the ear. When the harvest
comes he puts in the sickle and gathers
the garin: it is the fruit that is after.
We do not know how the kingdom OF
God grows. There is just that same de-
velopment which we find from seed 10
harvest time. Paul may plant Apollos
may water. but God alone can give the
increase We may cultivate. but with
out the soil and seed. and sun and snow
ers. all of which is Gods part, there will
he no increase But be assured of this,
that God is looking for fruit, and the
whole purpose of His providential care
is i'm order that He may have the fruit.
That is what He is looking for in your
life: that is why He has been bestow-
ing on you all that He has. Shall he
find only 3O-fold. or 60-fold or 100-fold
in your life?

as well. There is a correlation existing
between high lint production and hign
oil content. therefore if the proper va
rieties OF cotton are selected and plant
ed there is no reason why an average
of several gallons of oil per ton above
the present yield may not be obtained.
This fact is so very important to the
farmers of the south that it cannot be
emphasized too strongly in Georgia. 1t
is possible, through the planting Of
the right varieties of seed, not only
to produce a lint which will command
a high price and at the same time OBJ
tain as high yields as have ever been
secured, but to add materially to the
oil content of the seed as well. It would
be a comparatively simple matter to
increase the value of Georgia sd crops
for oil production by at least $4,000, 900
a year.
In order that our readers may be
fully informed about what has been
done up to the present time and given
an opportunity to study the merits of
the different varieties of cotton for the
purposes indicated above, a summary of
the Investigations made by Prof. L. E.

GERMANY TO LULL PUBLIC
WITH RUSSIAN VICTORY
DiSorganized SIaV
Army Can Give Little Re-
SiStanCe to Huns

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Germany' s
military leaders hope to lull the German
people with "a victory" against defense
less Russia.
That was the way military men sized
up the German-Russian situation ard
the fact that despite n German-Austrian
opposition to warning on the Russians
the Teuton armies are now striking ane "
al Russia.
The German leaders. according to the
thought here, hope to work their will
with Russia get desired territory by
shutting Russia off from the Baltic, and
then try TO still the murmuriugs at
home by presenting this new victory"
The utterly disorsanized Russian
army can give the Germans little re-
sistance now. While there is sufficient
military forces and equipment for the
Bolsheviki to fight against the Ukraine
government, there is now scarcely the
shell of fighting army, hence the Ger
mans are expected to have free swing
While Russia's sole thought has been
for peace, and peace at almost any
price. it is possible that the Teuton
course will fan the militarist spirit
anew. Russia still has a considera BILE
force under arms. but the lines Of COM
munication are poor and the supplies
are low. Morale is shattered, so, all in
all. Germany is going up against one of
the easiest and most unique military
ventures apparently which any army
ever had.
The German drive will he used in the
American propaganda to emphasize the
German nnexationist policy, and the
emptiness of the Teuton claim of de-

RELATION OF OIL CONTENT
VALUE OF COTTON SEED

y.
Few years ago the editor OF these
columns predicted that cotton seed
would soon be bringing prices far in
excess Of those then prevailing because
of their wonderful value as a producer
or human and animal food. The pre-
diction then made has been fulfilled
much more quickly than was thought
possible. 1t is true that war conditions
may have something to do with the
very high price which cotton seed now
command, but it is believed that the
general appreciation of their value for
the purpose indicated is such that they
will command a much higher figure
in the future than they have done in
the past. 1t is very interesting in this
connection to note that the seed are
capable of great Improvement at very
little expense or effort on the part or
the farmer or the mill man who handles
them. Analyses made at the College Of
Agriculture during the past few years
show that there is a very wide variation
for instance, i'm the oil, content of Seed

tain, and in the content of nitrogen

Camp Lewis should be made a
permanent camp, in the opinion
of Brig. Gen. Eli A. Helmick, who
left Monday after 10 days In
spection visit.
II will recommend In my re-
port that the buildings of the
camp be stained or painted to
preserve them from the wealth
err" he said.
THE location of the camp is
admirable, and while in other
camps the wood used in construc-
ton does not make the buildings
worth preserving, here 1t seems
advisable to me to urge that they
be painted or Oiled"
During the time he was here,
Gen. Helmick says that not a sin
gle enlisted man or officer &C
cepted his invitation to complain
of the treatment accorded him.
He says it speaks we'll for the
spirit of the men.
One report that the food here
was bad was made by a Monte
sano resident, but Gen. Helmick
declared Monday that after a
careful investigation he found
that the food was uniformly ex-
cellent.
Most of the men are being
better fed now than they were
ever fed BEFORE" he averred.
The base hospital at the camp
is too small, according to the Of
ficer.
I'VE found that the wards were
crowded here as they are crowd
ed in many other environments,
and / shall recommend that addi-
tional buildings be erected, par
ticularly isolation wards"
The camp has only one draw
back, in the opinion of the in
spector. 1t is too far from the
nearest city.
"While I shall make no
recommendation on the mat
ter" he said, 81 believe
that a double line electric
track should be laid between
Tacoma and Camp Lewis by
Tacoma citizens. The men
should have less trouble in
going to and from the camp"

SEATTLE, Feb. 10.-Chief
Of Police Warren today look
ed suspiciOusly upon a story
telephOned to the morning
newspaper by Ralph A. Horr,
q candidate for mayor in to-
days primaries, to the effect
that he had been shot by two
mysterious visitors.
According to Horr, the shooting
occurred in his law offices at
1870 last night when he returned
from a political meeting. Horr
is one of seven candidates for
mayor.
His story is that he had receiv-
ed several threatening letters from
vice agents, and that his assail-
ants, before shooting him, said:
I'VE warned you not to talk
against u.s."
Phones Paper For Doctor.
Horr's wound was in the Shout
der and is considered a minor
injury.
He immediately telephoned a
newspaper office, asking that a
doctor be sent. He then called
the city hospital.
Chief Warren's statement today
declared:
1T is a very peculiar case. We
can find no mark on the wood
work and yet the bullet found on
the floor is flattened and polished
like a silver quarter.
"The bullet penetrated all of the
outer garments and the back of
his overcoat but not the front.
We are unable to find anyone who
heard the report Of the shot or
saw the assailants."

With a $50,000,000 enabling
appropriation being rushed thru
congress, the government today
was prepared to launch gigantic
housing programme give decent
shelter for American workmen at
war factories.
The plan, modelled somewhat
after the British and one of the
most ambitious war moves the
government has made to improve
labor conditions, was outlined to
the United Press today by Otto M.
Eidlitz, new director of housing,
as follows:
Construction at munitions GEN.

ed-of suitable sanitary houses In
sufficient numbers to give decent
homes to all workmen employed
in the vicinity.
Making these houses of perma-
nent structure, wherever expedi-
ent and compatible with necessary
speed in completing them.
Erection of recreational build
ings where the new labor cities are
removed from regular communi-
ties. Also of churches, schools,
stores, ETC., everything to assure
comfort and the requirements of
proper living.
The houses to be built and paid
for by the various communities in
which they will be located by
funds advanced by the government
out of the $50,000,O00 revolving
fund.

Communities realizing the COM

Industries to their localities would
form committees, raise 20 per cent
of the necessary outlay and apply
to the Director of housing for the
remaining 80 per cent. This, on
proper security, would be ad-
vanced as a 15-year loan on easy
terms.
The houses to be built under

eminent and all requirements of
