Rev. Jones, in summarizing said,

that get you!" murmured Tommy,
as the door closed. He was a trifie
ashamed of the pugnacious gesture
which Gun had stopped.
ut is" Gun agreed. That's why
he brought that whisky along. Just
enough to keep your taste for it
alive, Tommy. Another time. I'd
advise you not to fall for that sort
OF thing"
II won't" said Tommy, contrite-
ly. And then: But oh. hell, 1 do

The first few days are the

Let's go to bed-but have a ciga-
ret first. And, If were you, I'd fill

Tommy stared at him.
WHY"
"Oh, I don't know. You might
want to smoke in the night" an
swered Gun, carelessly.
But when he came down In the
morning, the first thing he did was
to look in the big cigaret box. 1t
held a couple OF hundred, and had
been nearly half full when they
went to bed the previous night
Now it was empty. So was the CT
gar box on the side table.
$50 that's the game, is it? 1

with a mirthless grin.
Later, Sambo. asked for clgarets,
displayed his slate, on which was
already written:

Tommy fell into profanity, but
presently stopped and stared at
Gun with a dismayed expression.

Gun nodded.

some admiration. He knows how
to pile on the agony! You see, if
ones up against it-short Of food
and other comforts, one takes lack
of drink or smoke more or less
as a matter of course-part of the
game, as it were. But when you're
well fed and comfortable. and all
the rest of it, the desire to smoke
and drink becomes doubly strong,
IL only from association Of ideas"
Tommy nodded thoughtfully.
II think / see what you mean
In the same way as If you have
chop or steak, solo, you don't need
any frills-but If you have a real
meal, then coffee and liqueurs be-
come almost a necessity"
Exactly" said Gun. But we'll
make the best OF. it. Here, come on
to the lawn"
In the center Of the lawn, secure
from eavesdropping, Gun asked:
How many have you got in your
case, Tommy"
Tommy produced large "serv-
ice" cigaret case.
THANK goodness I filled 1t last
night, and it holds twenty. I've sew

He surveyed its potentialities
without satisfaction, and then went
into the lounge and explained mat

Breakfast was as sufficient, not
to say elaborate as usual. But

Gun grinned.
"Oh well-every man to his

"Well?" he inquired, with as

Tommy compressed his lips;
Gun answered, with a smile, that

The day passed much as the

drink water with their elaborate

In the afternoon Tommy dozed
on the lawn. Gun went to the bed

| phasized the need of retaining the
feed products Of the cotton crop on
the farm. Experiments and farm
experiences have shown conclusively
that cottonseed meal is a satisfactory
protein supplement for horses, mules,
cattle, sheep and swine. 1t has also
been found that cottonseed meal is a
very definite aid in the production
of firm pork"
Such comments from Professor
Hostetler and other college expert

leaders Of the Cotton Belt are doing
much to aid cotton growers make
more efficient and profitable use of
all of their cotton crop.
As indicated by Professor Hos
teller, it has been only a relatively
short time since a large part of
the feed value and fertility value
contained in cottonseed meal and
cake was exported to European live
stock feeders. This fall, in ~cotrast,
the common practice with thousands
of cotton growers is to sell their
cottonseed when their cotton is pick
ed and, at the same time, to pur-
chase from their local oil mill the
cottonseed meal, cake and hulls that
they need for efficient livestock
feeding.

Livestock feeders in other parts

both plants and animals, and they
