FAMILIAR THINGS
SOAP FROM COTTON,
INK FROM

If you have seen a cotton plant
growing. you would think, per-
haps, that it could not have any
other use than the cotton which
is made into cloth. Others thought
that, too, until the seeds became
such a nuisance that it was nee
essary to find some way OF dis
posing of them.
When the cotton-gin was discov-
cred and cotton was separated
from the seeds much faster than
it had been before, seeds natural
ly accumulated faster. Some were
mixed with stable manure and
used for fertilizer, but it was Of
ten the practice to throw most of
the seeds into streams. That was
stopped because it tainted the va
ter.
Then it was discovered that the
seeds yield an oil when pressed.
From that time. cottonseed oil be-
came an important by-product Of
the cotton industry.
Cottonseed oil has many uses.
1t is a principal ingredient in
many salad dressings, and it is
made into oleomargarine ad ito
shortcomings for cooking. The oil is
also used in making soap and
cold cream and a number of other
products.
After the oil is pressed out, the
cottonseed cake which is left may
be broken up for use in various
ways or ground into meal. Cotton

Lay Up Coal for Winter

The forehanded householder is wise
w considering his winter fuel supply
right now, in mid-June.
He knows full well that come cold
weather there is liable to be a shortage
of coal and also that prices will be
higher.
Also, he does not know what may
transpire in the coal industry. The ex-
piration of the governments contract
with John L. Lewis miners will expire
on July 1, and if something is not done
to outlaw d~emoralizing strikes in the
meantime, Mr.. Lewis assuredly will
order his minions out of the pits, or
rather prohibit them to go back after
the customary vacation" the last
week in June.
With the mining of coal interrupted
by a strike the nations stockpile, with
out which industry cannot continue in
operation, would shrink ha%zardously,
and by fall the consuming civilian
would be wondering where and when he
could get even a sackful to warm his
home over night.
Buying coal now, or as quickly as
obtainable, and having the domestic
bins full when winter approaches, is
good business.

9 HoOver's Comeback

Former President Herbert Hoover
was eminently right when he declar-
ed on Sunday that this country cannot
continue to make huge loans and gifts
to foreign countries without impairing
its own productivity.
Even our great natural resources
and industrial and financial assets
could not withstand such a drain as is
now contemplated by the administra-
ton for the relief of war-impoverished
countries and still meet our domestic
needs.
This warning issued by Mr.. Hoover
Is the text of an Associated Press
article by Jack Bell, in which the writ
err declares the former CHIEF Executive
Is making a "seldom-paralleled popu-
larlty comeback" not only among re-
publicans in Congress but a sizeable
circle of Washington democrats as we'll.
MIR. Bell notes that chairmen of con-
gressional committees are sure to ask
Mr.. Hoover's council and testimony in
pending inquiries.
They will certainly be on the right
track if they do secure his advice. Mr.
Hoover is among the worlds great.

1t is to the benefit of this natior

WASHINGTON, Everybody
haw-hawed when Henry Wallace III
a transforming speerh at Chicago
several weeks ago proposed a posi-
tive peace program. 1t involved
American investments and exports
Of $3.50 billion over a period Of
years to raise the standards Of
living in Europe and Asia. T h Z
general verdict was that this was
just another of Henry's hybrid.
cracked-corny ideas in a milk
bottle.
But in the June issue of Fortune
-self-styled magazine of business
there is a lead editorial three
pages long which proposes an idea
so similar to Henry's it will make
your eyes pop.
IT would be wrong to believe
that this editorial was inspired by
Henry Wallace. Fortune goes to
press weeks in advance, and this
editorial was probably in type be-
fore Henry Wallace got to Chicago
As a matter of fact. Fortune re
jects Wallace's general philosophy
with this comment:
melville Chamberlain believed
in 1887 taat the world could dc
business with Hitler. Henry Wal
lace believes in 1947 that the world
can do business with Stain. W.
believe both proposals to be identi'
cal %fallacies."
Despite this, the fact that Wal
lace and Fortune could come uE
with similar proposals should be
significant of something, and the
casual bystander is entitled to ask
that old ( h e r c l bromide.

The Fortune proposal is too Ions
to quote in full here. Also it is
tough going and should be reae
a couple of times by every bust
ness-man to get its full meaning
II is addressed ITO the Boards o.
directors of American Business
Its high spots go something like
thi:
It begins with a proposal that
50-year lease on peace would be
worth $l0O billion to American
business. That's $50 billion less
than Wallace proposes, but it's s.
billion a year for so years. This
is considered cheap when com
pared to the 500 billion a year
for three years which the last wal
cost.
IF the U. S. businessman does
not thrust the whole business
process into helping save the
world" says the editorial. "the
world will not be saved. It's as flat
as that.

fact that there is not enough food

The fibrous mass left after the
juice is pressed out of sugarcane
was once considered a nuisance.
Now. bagasse, as it is known COM
mercially, is made into wallboard
which replaces wood for a num-
Der of purposes.
Peanuts used to be valued only
for the nuts and for the products
made from the oil pressed from
the nuts. No the vines and the
hulls are fed to cattle. The thin
skin over the nuts is mixed in the
fodder. Alter the plant mas been
cut, the roots are left in the soil
for the nitrogen they give to the
earth.
This is but a small part OF the
story of peanuts. George Washing

chemical studies of the peanut
plant and found that nearly 3OC

Henry Wallace:
/. A Is to 20 per cent reduction
in the U. S. internal price level.
This reduction would be made Gin

price reduction would make it pos

2. A series of massive u. S.

this would come out Of the hides
of Americans in the form Of taxes.

8. The U. S. should encourage

have to reject utterly the philoso-

can party which would return tc

Big Businessman Will Clayton is
quoted to the effect that the U. S.
could raise its imports by $40 bill
lion with only good results.
4. Wherever U. S. money goes
there should go U. S. engineers to
help spend the money loaned. This
is rot to control foreign industry,

'It is not too much to hope that

asks without mentioning Big Busi.

"Is the National Association of

in it's decisions.
Furthermore, Mr.. Gardner declared
that if the County Commission en-
dorsed States petition on the grounds
that State would set up it's headquarters
at Bluethenthal airport, CAB would
justly decide that Wilmington was
more interested in possible revenue
from facility rentals at Bluethentha]
than in improved air service, and the
city be considered acting from purely
selfish motives.
The County Commission properly
decided it could not take intelligent
action one way or the other until
Thomas Davis, president of Piedmont
could appear before it and state his
company's side of the argument. That
Was the final action taken and the
Commission is to be commended for
so voting.
While this motion was being dis
cussed, it was suggested that the best
way to settle the issue would be to hold
a joint meeting with the City Council
and the Chamber of Commerce AVA

Davis and Mr.. Gilbert would have on.
