Cat gave HIM idea
Where Eli Whitney Got Principle

fakby's Reaching for Chick Just %.

tton for Machine Which Has
Accomplished So Much.

We learn from history that Eli Whit.
ney invented the cotton gin, but people
VINO are interested in the great cotton
industry of the southwest will probably
De surprised to learn that a cat first
demonstrated the principle upon which
the cotton gin was founded. Anyone
who has seen an Imperial valley or
Salt River valley cotton gin in action
Will understand that this story IL en-.
tirely plausible.
Before Eli Whitney got into the pub.
lie eye he went down the street one af-
ternoon to lean on the garden fence
ana chat with his sweetheart while
During the course Of their visit she
called his attention to q brood Of fluffy
chickens, in slat coop near the house.
While they were admiring the chicks,
along came the house cat, hungry for
fresh meat. Tabby reached in to claw
q chick out Of the coop, but as she did
80 the old mother hen pecked at her.
1hat caused the cat TO make a sweep
ing swipe at one Of the chicks, with
her claws exposed. She did not xet
the chick, but she withdrew her nav
with q bunch Of fluff clinging to her
} claws.
Whitney witnessed the incident, and
the idea struck him quite forcibly.
Turning to his sweetheart he said: AT
last ] have plan for separating cotton
from the seed. What we need 10 q
machine that will act like the cats
paw. The cat struck at the chicken
and removed it's feathers. I want q
machine that will strike at the cotton
and remove 1t from the thing to which
1t 10 fastened"
Sc he invented q machine which had

idly on a cylinder, and when the cotton
was fed through It the teeth tore all
the cotton from the seed In much the
same way as the cats claws stripped
the fiuff from the baby chick.
The machine designed by Whitney
which has been such a blessing to hu-
Tnnity was practically as successful
at the outset as it is today. 1t per.
formed the work that was cut out for
1t, and nothing better has been invent
ed since that time. With slight changes
+ the cotton gin of today is the cotton
gin that Eli Whitney realized in his
brain the moment he saw the cat side

IDAHO ADVANCES

1t is both interesting and encourage
ing to note in the compilation Of the
relative standings of the different
states in the war savings campaign
that Idaho is we'll above the middle of
the line in the per capita sales and is
well within the first third in the num-
Der OF agencies as compared with the
total population. This. we think. is
a rather remarkable showing when
M considers the immense mount of
territory over which our small popu-
lation is scattered.
Most of u attention and energy is
now being turned along the lines Of
organization of war savings societies
throughout the entire state. The
work in the schools has been so well
carried out that the idea seems to
have found Judgment in the minds Of
many that this is a children's cam
paign; nothing could be farther from
the truth. This is a campaign to
reach everyOne-man, woman and
child-and induce him to do his ut
most. The war savings societies are
the most effective means of accom-
plishing this end. Already existing
organizations of various kinds-labor,
%fraternal. church, etc.-are being US
ed so far as possible, each member
pledging himself to save and buy war
savings stamps to the utmost of his
ability each week during the year.
Adults who cannot be reached this
way, especially those in the farm dis
tricts, are being reached as associate
members of the school war savings
societies.
The successful organizing of these
societies will put behind the govern
ment and its army at the front a ire
mendous army of the second line de-
tense who are saving and helping to
their utmost and doing it all the time.
