MANY ARE USES NOW MADE OF THE
 COTTON PLANT
One Hundred and Forty eight Different Things Are Produced from Cotton Plant Through Science

Possibly the most useful plant that can be grown, owing to the almost ln- numerable uses to which it is put IS the cotton plant. The uses of the lint obtained from the cotton plant are many and varied, and on the whole are known to the average man or wo- man. but not so the uses of the cot ton seed which are even more num- erous than those of the lint.
 An educational chart issued by the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers as sociation of Memphis. Tennessee, has the following tabulated list Of cotton seed products and uses
 There are three products obtained from cotton seed, linters, hulls and the meats or kernels. Materials in the composition Of which linters enters smokeless powder and pyroxylin. PyroXylin is used in making varnishes and plastics. From varnishes are ob- tained coating for metals. artificial leather and waterproofing. while from plastics, celluloid collodion. varnishes artificial silk and photographic films are made.
 Hulls are used in fertilizers: fuels. including potash and aceytOne, pack ings; household utensils: bran. an i'm portant cattle food: and fibre. From the fibre stuffing for horse collars basis for explosives. cellulose. and paper stock used in pressed paper pro- ducts are obtained.
 The meats or kernels of the cotton naturally are of more importance and produce more products than either the linters or the hulls. First of all two products are obtained from the meats, they are the so-called cotton seed cake ssfsre aasaI ar,A .N. meal or cake is used as a feed for cat tie, poultry. horses and mules. swine and sheep, besides being used in fer tllizers. dyestuffs and flour for bread cake and crackers.

 This completes the list Of cotton seed products and uses up to the present, but new uses are being found right along for some part of the cotton crop, so it would not be true to say that this is complete list of the uses to which cotton seed can be put.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES FOR
EACH COUNTY.

Most of the counties organizing County
Public Health Associations are doing
SO with the direct aim of employing
some kind of public health nurse to
further public health education in e
county. Practically all Of the counties
in Minnesota have or are planning to
have a school nurse. In a few counties
where the need is most urgent, a nurse
is to be employed to make a county
tuberculosis survey. All of the COM
ties organized to date are planning to
secure a Child Welfare Nurse and to
do intensive child welfare work in the
summer months when the little On
are more prone to illness.
Owing to the SCARCITY of nurses, the
average county will have to be salts led
with only one nurse, capable of all these
activities, but later when more nurs
are available from one to five public
health nurses will doubtless be found
in every county, each acting IN her own
strict or division to cover the various
lines of work outlined above NJ. p H. A

The Sixteenth North Dakota legisla-
ture Just closed, is remarkable in a
number Of ways 1t may safely be said,
that no other legislature, in any American
state, has enacted SO many important
measures at single session as the
Farmer Legislature Of the Flicker Tail
state. The nearest approach was the
record Of the New Jersey legislature,
during the first year Of the administra-
ton of Governor now President
Woodrow Wilson. But the Frazier adj
ministration and the North Dakota legis-
Iature have done more progressive work
and more Of it than the Wilson admins
tration and the New Jersey legislature
Furthermore the legislature intro
duced fewer bills than ever before, cost
less and adjourned earlier.
| The most important bills passed by
the legislature and signed by Governor
Frazier in the presence Of the entire
membership Of both houses, all state
officers and hundreds Of Farmer visitors
are those marking changein the status
of the state in the ownership of public
utilities embracing many forms of bust
ness which heretofore had been regarded
as private monopolies, more or less.
There were five in all of these bills
having the following objects;
II To create the state industrial
commission, authorized to conduct all
forms of business in which the State may
engage.
| 2 To create the Bank OF North
Dakota, which viii enable the state
industries to be financed and also will
provide cheaper real estate loans and
grain loans to farmers.
81 To create the North Dakota Mill
and Elevator association, authorizing
the State to build and operate terminal
elevators, flour mills, packing plants,
and to engage otherwise in the market
ing CT all agricultural products
a To create the North Dakota Home
Builders association, under which a
Workingman or tenant farmer may be
put into possession of city home or
ready-lnade farm upon first payment Of
20 per cent.
s. TO provide for the regulation and
operation Of the Ignite coal mines Of
the State. Ill., .~.s
Admittedly, this is a remarkable
program enacted in ecori-breaking time.
Nevertheless, some people will not look
with favor on these achievements of the
North Dakota legislators, for the simple
reason that they are not at all in ac-
cordance with their own ideas Of doing.

This long has been felt by the De-

bill has been introduced in the Senate
by Senator Hoke Smith of Georg a,
directing the Secretary Of the Interior
through the Bureau Of Education to
cooperate with the several States in
the education OF illiterates and of people
who are not able to read or write in the
American language, and in the prepare
ton Of teachers for the work. A similar
bill has been introduced in the House

bills provide for the necessary appro-

TO Fight Illiteracy.

Among the many revelations ac-
companying war activities or which
have been brought to. a fuller realization
by the people during war time, stands
out the fact that eight and a half million
persons in the United States over TO
years OF age can not read newspaper,
billboard, sign, booklet or letter in the
American language. Five and a half
millionsef them can not read anything
in any language.
These astounding conditions demand
the immediate consideration of the
entire nation. The war has brought
to light thousands upon thousands Of
native-born Americans who can not
read or write, repudiating the accusa-
ton heard many times in former years
that only the immigrants were to blame
for our widespread illiteracy. There
must be something wrong with our own
school system, especially in the South
The intellectual level of the whole
country is lowered considerably by
these facts as is more clearly shown by
the following com parisons: The ill
terates in the United States outnumber
all the people in Nevada, Wyoming,
Delaware, Arizona, Idaho, Mississippi,
Vermont, Rhode Island, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Oregon Maine, Florida,
Connecticut and Washington combined.
They exceed the total population of
Canada As voters their ballots will
outweigh the influence Of Greater New
Y ork, Philadelphia and Chicago in
national affairs
Its something like a national calami-
ty, this vast army of illiterates, not only
to these helpless men and women them
selves but also to our political and COM
mercial life as a whole The economic

zSociGI Reconstruction.

The ending of the Great War has
brought peace But the only safeguard
If neace is social justice and contented
neople. 1t is up to those in power to
soc TO it that this safeguard is estab-
7;shed otherwise they will have to bear
the consequences of the deep social
unrest affecting very large circles OF
our population. The whole problem
reaches too far into every phase Oh cur
,rasant social conditions to be treated
fullv in short newspaper article.
Nevertheless, few instructive remarks
nav not be without some profit.
The present system stands in grlevous
,oaad Of considerable modification and
commencement. That much IS con-
..eded by all who have studied the
,,roblem and who are not blinded by
heir own selfish interests. The main
defects of the present system are three:
Enormous inefficiency and waste IN
the production and distribution OF COM
,nodities; insufficient incomes tor the
great majority of wage-earners, ana
unnecessarily large incomes for small
minority of privileged capitalists.
Production will be greatly increased
NV universal living wages, by ade-
uuate industrial education, and by
harmonious relations between labor ana
..aoitol ON the basis of adequate par
ticipation by the former in all the IN
eiustrial aspects Of business manage
roent. Nevertheless, the full posslblll-
ties of increased production will not be
realized 50 long as the majority OF the
workers remain mere Wage-earners. lhe
majority must somehow become owners,
at least in part, Of the instruments OF
production. They can be enabled to
reach this stage gradually through CO
0 >erative productive societies and CO.
partnership arrangements. In the form
pr. the workers own and manage the
Industries themselves; in the latter,
-+hev own substantial part OF the cor
.rorate stock and exercise "a reasonable
share of the management. Inc sooner
,~ais General goal is realized the better
i will be for community, state and ma
zion
The second great evil, that OF IN
sufficient income for the majority can
lie removed only by providing the work
f.rs with more income. This means
not only universal living wages, but
the opportunity of obtaining some
Thing more than that amount Tor all
-,.bo are willing to work hard and faith
July.
For the third evil mentioned above,
excessive gains by a small minority OF
s,rjvileged capitalists, the main remedies
are prevention of monopo}istic control
II commodities, adequate owe ament
re ,ulation of such public service mono
i,oljas as will remain under private
operation, and heavy taxation OF IN
comes, excess profits and inherltances.
There are many other important
questions connected with this subject,
such as reduction of the high cost OF
living, adequate insurance, either state
or private, good housing for working
people. an efficient employment service
care of women workers, etc. So there
will be enough work for the lawmakers
and if they shirk their duty they vii
md themselves to be the losers.
