the auction as that which resulted
when Auctioneer Gross of Kansas
City, Mo-, announced following the
barbecue that Woodrow Wilson's
rooster would be placed on sale.
The first bid for the presidents
rooster was $1,000. Hardly had the
auctioneer announced the bid when
others came in quick succession, and
after spirited and rather sensational
bidding for an hour the rooster was
sold for approximately $58,000, doz-
ems Of individuals, counties, business
concerns and others contributing. The
presidents rooster will be entered in
the name of. the city of Montgomery
for the state of Alabama, this
being a part of the grand total for
which the rooster was sold.
Before the barbecue was served to
thousands in the grove near the town

ers for S17,OS0. He announced that
the Woodrow Wilson cock would be
sold Immediately following the serv-
ing of the barbecue, and the large
amphitheater, built especially to &C
commodate. the visitors and home
people. was well filled when the af-
ternoon sale was started.
With the Individual bid for the Will
son rooster standing at $4,000 bust
ness men of the town got together
hurriedly and organized sort of CO.
operative scheme whereby the various
towns, counties, individuals, business
concerns and others might enter bids.
The final total bid was gained by add
ing all figures. In the name Of the
Chamber of Commerce of the city
of Montgomery, Bruce Kennedy, sec
rotary. agreed first to give $4,000 on
the rooster, but in a short time he
added another like amount, with the
understanding the Wilson rooster
would go TO the city of Montgomery
for the people of Alabama.
President Wilson several days ago
sent Frank l. Derby, who originated
the rooster selling scheme, his per
sonsl check for $40, this being the fee

Thursday for Demopolis meant as
much as any other thing in the his
tory of the city. 1t meant the dreams
of Demopolis of getting a bridge
across the river would be either real
lied or that they would be mere pipe
dremas or the building of air castles.
The day had about half passed when
it was realized the sale of ROSTERS
would be a success and that dreams
had come true.
Approximately $4,000 visitors were
in the city; incoming trains brought
hundreds during the afternoon, many

beginning to be an impossible feat,
this thriving little city of DemOp-

beside the bank of the Tombigbee
river, raised approximately 100000

Before the spirited bidding had come
to an end a handsome game cock,

sold for approximately $4,000.
Never before in the history of the
state has such a novel means Of col

WILLIAM BAKER DEAD.

The friends of the Baker family in

The funeral occurred in Dallas and
it was attended by large concOurse
of sorrowing friends of the family.

the olive oil shipped out of France
and Italy is several times the amount
it is possible for them to produce. The
only answer is that they are buying
back our own cotton seed oil, from 20
to 80 per cent of our output being ex-
ported each year.
Fewer Mills In the State.
Mr.. Barksdale traced the rapid de-
velopment, or, rather, the over-devel-
opment of the oil mill business in
Mississippi, saying that ten or fifteen
years ago many mills were built at
small points, prompted by local pride,
that were forced to suspend because
they could not stand competition with
the larger centers.
There are today only 90 cotton oil
mills in operation in Mississippi, as
compared with 100 mills five years
ago, a decrease of forty per cent.
Jackson sill holds rank as the lar
gest seed crushing point in Mississip-
pi, and the fourth largest in the

. Look for Its Imitators
Next Year

Essex success means next years cars will be
modelled after it. Look for its body lines and
other features in cars that will come out from
now on. The Essex has filled the demand for
a light weight car with performance and
enduring qualities. 1t is not an old model
modified to meet the trend toward ightnesS
and economy, comfort and luxury. To get
what the Essex has, requires a design that
begins with one idea in view. A new trend in
design is reflected in the Essex. 1t can not be
met through the adaptionof those principles
that have been in vogue.
The Essex is the new word in motor cars.
It's performance is proved everywhere and
its endurance is unquestioned. Can there be
any doubt, after such proof, that it is the car
you want?
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1919-08-17
How About Its
Performance?

Every Essex owner knows he doesn't need
to take the dust sof any car He can tour as
fast or as far as any car will go. He has
power for the hills--acceleration for every re-
quirement.
Owners of large cars tell us their preference
for driving the Essex. They travel faster be-
cause they can get under way so quickly.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1919-08-17
How About Its
Endurance?

These are the records of 10000 cars. Some
have been driven as many miles as the average
owner drives in two seasons. Ask the hard
drivers how they consider Essex durability.
Ride in an Essex that has been driven
several thousand miles. Learn how little at
tention is required to keep it in operating
condition. Every owner will give you proof
of endurance such as you would never expect
of car of it's size or cost

THE COTTON SEED OIL INDUS
TRY.

That Mississippfs cotton crop this
year will not exceed $4,000 to 900,
900 bales, as compared with LIS,
900 bales last year, was the prediction
made yesterday by Mr., Harris Banks
dale, manager of the Southland Oil
Company, in an address before the
Jackson Rotary Club.
Mr.. Barksdale has just returned
from a trip of two weeks covering the
delta. the Hill counties and the piney
woods section, made especially for the
purpose Of studying crop conditions.
In that section south of .the Alabama
G. Nicksburg Railway, he said, the
production will be about the same as
last year, 100000 to $4,000 bales or
ten per cent of the 1918 crop. Between
the Southern Railway and A K Y.
Railway the crop shows condition
Of go to 60 per cent average.
This means q corresponding redue-
ton in the cotton seed yield, said Mr..
BarRsdale, and prices paid will be
even higher than last year when the
crop was sold around $40 per ton f.
o. b. stations.
Cotton Oil Industry.
Mr.. Barksdale delivered most in
teresting fifteen-minute talk on the
cotton seed oil industry, briefly trac-
ing the history Of its development,
and showing its present enormous
proportions.
''There is not man in this room"
said the speaker, who is not wear
ing some article Of clothing made
from cotton seed. and in the dinner
we have just eaten cotton seed oil en-
tered several times as an article of
food. He then exhibited a chart show
ing the astonishingly large number
of products made from linters and
oils, perhaps sixty in number, rang
ing from deadly explosives to dainty
cosmetics.
The first cotton oil mill in the Unit
ed States, said Mr.. Barksdale, was
built in South Carolina in 1926, but

They can turn in narrow streets They can
thread in and out of traffic. The Essex takes
up so little room it can be parked in spaces too
small for large cars, and it costs less when
degree of performance and quality are con-
sidered. The Essex saves in gasoline and tires.

The Essex to You

Regard the Essex in the light of its service
to some 10000 owners.
What it is doing for people you know IS an
indication of how every Essex owner feels
about his car.
Questions
To Ask
Will the Essex passenger capacity meet your
needs2 The touring car and the sedan each
comfortably carries FIVE. The roadster is tor
two, and has unusual capacity for luggage.
Car SIZE other than that of passenger ca
pacity is unimportant. In the Essex it means
greater driving ease and the opportunity OF
providing comfort, higher quality and greater
performance at a moderate price and low
operating cost.
Think how large the cars few years ago
compare with those of today.
The trend is toward smaller cars. The
Essex is easier to drive, easier to park. costs
less to operate, and is as comfortable to ride
in as a large, costly car. The Essex marks
the car of the future in respect to size, and it
combines the wanted qualities of economy OF
the light car with the performance and en-
durance of the costly automobile.

Seed Thrown Away.
Illustrating how cotton seed were
formerly regarded. Mr. Barksdale
said that the first cotton Gin was
built in the United States in 1892, and
1t was located on the banks of
creek, in order that the cotton seed
could be floated off down stream as
a waste product. As the gin became
more popular it was necessary to pass
laws in various states prohibiting
the throwing of cotton seed in run
ming streams, as they polluted the
water and choked up the stream. In
those days the farmer who brought
his cotton to a gin had to always pay
the expense Of hauling away the seed.
Next the ginners tried burning the
seed, but this was only partly success
