ginners term a reasonable rate for
cotton ginning in Oklahoma during

in the hearing before final decision
is reached.
Cotton on Seed Basis
Cotton has been ginned upon a
"seed basis" with a charge of thir-
ty-flve cents per hundred pounds.
The growers claim that this is not
a fair method and ask that the
charge be fixed upon the Tint bas-
is" On the seed basis the produc-
ers pay by the hundred for the
gross weight of cotton received at
the gin and on the lint basis would
pay by the hundred for the net
weight in lint delivered back to
him by the ginner Last year the
price on the seed basis was thirty
five cents a hundred and the ginn-
ers Indicate that they must have
fifty this year. They have submit
ted a price of $119 a hundred on
the lint basis, which figures out al
most the same on a load of 100
pounds gross, one of the examples
used. In the gross weight there is

To Prevent Beriberj.

Two thousand physicians assembled
at the Imperial university in Kyoto
recently to hear DR.. Shimasono lee
ture on beriberi, the cause of which is
much disputed among medical author
tiles. The disease is not contagious,
and it's chief cause is eating pure rice,
although the doctor disbelieves the
theory that rice ever causes blood poi
soning.
The speaker said that if rice is
taken into the body along with other
foods there is less danger Of beriberi.
He cited the cases Of prisoners, fac
tory hands, Buddhist monks and 9TH
ers, who ate much wheat mixed with
rice. Buddhist monks eat ten or
twenty times as much other food as
rice. and rarely suffer from the dis
ease. Among the factory hands of
the Kejiho iron foundry of the Nit
subishi company $50 Of the 1000 JAP
anese suffered from beriberi because
they ate pure rice, while only 9 OF
5000 Koreans suffered from the dis
ease presumably because they ate mil.
let and beans.
Doctor Shimasono advised the eat
ing Of wheat with rice, in the ratio of
six parts of rice to four parts Of wheat

Sufficient Unto Themselves.

United States marines who have hob
nobbed with Filipino headhunters and
have long been friendly with the Cha
morrOs of Guam, met their Waterloo
when they tried to establish the en-
tente cordiale with the Cha-Chas of
the Virgin islands.
According to the marines the Cha
Chas are poor mixers" They live
on the west side of the harbor Of
Charlotte-Amalie, decline to mingle or
intermarry with the negroes, and re-
sent any outside interference with their
affairs. They are the hardest drink
ers and best workers on the island,
their industry bringing them good
living as fishermen and weavers of
straw hats. The tribe is said to have
come originally from the Dutch and
French Leeward islands.
So far the marines have taken only
long distance observations Of the
ChaChas. For while the tribe is not
hostile, its members indicate that they
want to be left alone.

FARM ENGINEERS WANT OWN
RTTREAU

The American Society of Agricultur-
al Engineers is urging the organization
Of bureau of agricultural engineering
in. the department. of Agriculture at
Washington. Drainage, irrigation, the
operation Of tractors, motors and farm
machinery Of all kinds, the erection of
farm buildings and the installation of
lighting, heating and water supply
plants come within tue scope of agri
cultural engineering.
William Boss, chief Of the division Of
agricultural engineering at University
Farm, heartily indorses the proposal for
the new bureau. "Such a bureau he
says, "would correlate the work of the
various state experiment stations and
carry on such research work as cannot
well be handled by state organizations
It would also take the leadership in
standardization work Of farm equip
ment as to types, sizes, rating, etc., and
assist manufacturers in serving the
best interests of agriculture by setting
forth the essential requirements OF
such equipment.
"A considerable amount of the farm
ers investment is in buildings, ma
chinery and equipment, and any devel
opment that can be brought about
that will enable the more economical
construction and arrangement Of such
buildings and the selection Of machin
cry OF equipment better adapted tc
their purpose or will devise labor saving
methods, cannot help but be Of value tt

WHY SADNESS IN OLD AGE7
Too True That the Two Things Arc
Frequently Associated, but
Should Not Be.

It is a common belief that as per
son advances in years he becomes not
only a wiser but q sadder man. That
one should gain knowledge as he grows
older is thoroughly in order, but that
he should become increasingly bur-
dened with the cares of life and sad
dened because of hopes that have not
been fulfilled is not a necessary condi-
ton.
It is true that the clouds that gather
about the setting sun do take a sober
coloring from an eye that has kept
watch in mans mortality, to para
phrase Wordsworth a bit, and that the
thought of constantly lessening actfvi-
ty and prospects which age entails is
enough to make one pause and cOnsid-
er. But consideration that goes far
enough will reveal that all time, Wheth-
er Of this world or another, is an un-
ending opportunity for progression.
After all, the whole matter of age Is
something that has to do with the mind
rather than the body. And when the
body begins to fail, when gray hairs
appear, the step becomes less springy,
sleep more difficult and joy in things
that used to please an impossibility.
sadness should not be the result.
The mind is great crucible which
receives and transfuses in some fash
ion impressions from all the objects
and facts of life. The will is the mas
ter which determines what the trans
fusion shall be. A man can let his will
relax or he can keep it active, regard
less of age. He can make Of his ex-
istence a heaven or a hell, whether he
be old or young, rich or poor, in a
favored spot of the earth, on desert
soil or fallen on evil days.
Exercise of the will cannot at last
stave off death, and it may not induce
prolonged health or material welfare.
But it can aid in all these things, and
entirely regardless Of it's material &C.
complishments, the will that is kept
properly on the alert can lead him in
hope.
ooh, well for him whose will is
strong"
For him whose will is weak, or rath-
er allowed to become weak, there is
Joy neither in a sunset nor sunrise.
And even the bright light Of monday
will only dazzle and bewilder, rather
Chan encourage and inspire.
The strong will sees endlessly, "be-
yond the sunset and the paths Of all
the western stars" It strengthens a
man in hope and leads him to see un-
limited possibilities as the years pass.
Sadness is the last thing that ought to
characterize age.-Kansas City Star.

MONEY TO BE MADE BY CLEAN
ING GRAIN.

By cleaning tho bulk Of their seed
grain, farmers can often get hand
some return by advertising and selling
a quantity of seed, provided, Of course,
the seed has a high termination test.
Samples can be sent to the University
Farm laboratory for this test. 'By
using a flaming mill in this way,' says
l.. B. Bassett, of the farm management
division, Minnesota college Of agricul.
ture, "greater profits are often realiz-
ed than by selling the grain in bulk to
the elevator and buying the seed back
Seed bought in this way may not be
adapted to the locality and the farmer
is always asked to pay a premium. In
many cases a premium so paid would
pay for the tanning mill in one season.
