BROUGHT FAME AND WEALTH
WhItney's invention OF the Cotton Gin
Came About Under Somewhat
Peculiar Circumstances.

In the fall of 1892, the year Of his
graduation from Yale college, ELI
Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin
who was born I'm Westboro. Mass. In
1865, was engaged as private tutor
in a family in Georgia. On his way
there he met Mrs. Greene, who was
returning 10 Savannah from visit
North. On reaching Georgia he found
that, despite his engagement, another
tutor had been given his place, and he
was stranded, practically penniless.
Mrs. Greene invited the young man tn
her home until he could find some
thing TO do.
Shortly after Whitney's arrival n
party of gentlemen from Augusta. In
the upper country, who had been Off
GERS in the Revolution under General
Greene, were visiting there. The con
versation turned on the depressed
state of agriculture In the South.
Long-staple cotton had been intro
duced successfully In sea islands, but
could not be grown inland. Short
staple cotton would grow inland, but
was improbable, as there was no
practical means of separating the cot
ton from the seed. The separation By
hand of one pound of staple was n
days work for one woman.
During the conversation Mrs.
Greene told the visitors that Mr..
Whitney could invent their machine
for them. This incident turned Whit
ney's attention to the subject He went
to Savannah, obtained a small parcel
Of raw cotton and set TO work. With
the resources the plantation afforded
and such tools as he could contrive.
within a few weeks he had developed
the invention and produced his first
model of the cotton gin.

PECK 8 BAD BOY

TYPHOID.

Lansing, June S-That it's worse
for town officials 20 procrastmate on
health matters than for average in
dividuals is being proved in the ty-
phoid fever epidemic now raging IN
Ontonagon, according to advices from
the state department of health.
AS long ago as September 1919 a
state sanitary engineer, after sur
veying conditions at Ontonagon, re-
ported that all sewage from the city
is emptied into the river and with
out question contaminates the water
supply" AT that time the matter
was discussed with the village presi-
dent and the commissioner. They
were advised TO arrange Immediately
Ito install a alternating apparatus
to care for the dangerous conditions
existing, and to employ competent
engineer to investigate the water
supply problem with a view toward
a different location of the intake"
Nothing was done about the mat
ter. Again in August, 1920 the
department endeavorcd to convince
Ontonagon that the city should
change or improve the supply of
water being furnished the citizens
Still no action was taken.
During February Of the present
year typhoid fever began to attack
residents of Cntonagon, rich and poor,
men and women, young and old BY
June a total Of 66 cases of typhoid
had been reported. Following the
law of averages six deaths may be
expected TO occur among this number
of cases. Prcventable sickness, doe
tors bills, nursing expenses, loss of
time from work, and loss Of life rep
resent an economic loss to the village
of $50, O0O-figuring sickness and
loss of life according to recognized
standards.
Owing to the failure Of local gov
eminent to function in Ontonagon it
has been necessary for the state to
delegate the deputy commissioner of
health, a medical representative, a
sanitary engineer and detachment
of the state police to take over the
activities Of the village health de-
partment.

ADDING to EinLand's Wealth.

The good results obtained In 1921
from flax cultivation have stimulated
Finnish farmers to sow more seed this

has constructed a flax dressing plant
near Tammerfors. Last year this
linen factory bought from the farm
ers 1,s15.000 kilos of air dried stalks,
10000 kilos of soaked stalks and 1OO,-
600 kilos Of swingled flax. This pro-
duction represents the harvest of

which are being discussed the press of the day
VERY SIMPLE?

Probably no time in the history of this state
have the people been so completely at sea regard
ing The U. S. senatorshp 1t is peculiar condi-
ton. McCumber, by his attitude toward the peo-
pie Of the state particularly in the matter of ap-
pointments, has practically told the people to go
to sheol or some ether place equally as hot, and
has recognized the stalwart Mckenzie faction
here, thus telling the independents to go fall in
the lake. This has nH made the independents
feel any too good and the consequence has been
that the senior senator fell from public favor
very rapidly. His chances for denomination up
until few days ago were nil. Then along comes
Mr.. Gronna, who insisted on trying to break into
the nonpartisan convention and to be endorsed by
that bunch. Up to that time Mr.. Gronna had a
very fine chance but he made the mistake of his
life in trying to ride two horses at one and the
same time, and now he has slipped down the down.
ward road very fast. His actions have eliminated
many thousands of voters who thought kindly of
him up to that time. He went out last fall and
fought for the principles advocated by the indie
pendents against the principles of state socialism
advocated by the Liederbach bunch and that
placed HIM in very high esteem all over the state,
then he stopped over and you know the rest Then
the convention of leaguers at Fargo last Saturday
nominated Frazier. Well, it is presumed that the
leaguers will generally support Lynn, so that you
can readily see just what funny position we of
North Dakota are in at this time. The jamestown
convention may be able to iron out the kinks but
we do not believceit can. Frazier will remain in
the race, Gronna will want to get McCumber's
scalp and we doubt if you can lift him out of the
race with a derrick, and you all know that Nc
Cumber, being in the saddle will remain there
until he is thrown out. So it all settles down to
this fact: that with three men running for United
States senator the betting would be in favor of
Frazier winning the republican nomination. Then
the democrats could put up a clean cut man and
the fusionists could get together ard put him
over in the fall. Very simple, isn't it-on paper.
