COTTONSEED '
CONVENTION
IS INVITED
(Continued from page 1.)
lot the Cotton Seed Crushdrs’ associa-
I tion. The report was adopted.
During the session Harry Landa
created a long discussion on the sub-
ject of rule changes in connection with
several aniendemnts that ho desired.
। One of these was a motion to establish
। fancy cotton seed i.ieal and cake of
j not less than 58 per cent protein and
I fat which was lost the rule as now ex-
isting providing for 55 to 51 per cent
being kept in force. Another motion to
amend section 1 of rule 12 pertaining
to choice cotton seed meal and cake in-
serting the words “reasonably bright
in color” in place of “not brown or
reddish” was carried.
Mr. Landa made a forceful argument
in which ho showed particular objection
to a “canary color’’ referring to this
as the “song of the canary bird” in
that it affects some of the transactions
that are made during the operation of
the business. Ed Woodall on arguing
the point ihowed more concern over
the use of hulls in meal and did not se-
riously regard the “canary color”
proposition. The question was discuss-
ed from many angles in which many of
the members took part.
The speaker told of the laws in the
southern states governing the manu-
facture and sale of oleomargarine ami
said:
“In our state of Texas through the
efforts of our associations we have
succeeded in preventing the dairy ele-
ment from introducing any bills af-
fecting the sale of this article and to-
day there is no restrection in the sell-
ing or manufacturing other than that
imposed by the federal law. We are
unquestionably stronger than we have
ever been chiefly owinj to the fact
that the article in itself has merit
and it must be recognized and event-
ually relieved of the onerous burdens
with which it is now inflicted.”
Regarding Oleomargarine.
In the absence of J. J. Culberson
who is on a tour abroad J. H. Met-
tenheimer was called upon to read «
paper prepared by Mr. Qulberson on
“My Experiences in the Oleomargar-
ine Campaign and How the Repeal of
the Grout Law- Will Affect the Cotton
Oil Industry.” The paper took the
stand that oleomargarine is whole
some: “Onr opponents have agreed
; that the article is wholesome and that
I the suggestions made in reference to
I the means to be employed as regards
I the separate package law proposition
i was satisfactory to them but when
I it came to the question of a substan-
I tial reduction in the tax or the repeal
'of it altogether they strenuously op-
posed such and their line of oppositiort.
I according to their spokesman Mr.
j Flanders who represented the dairy
। interests at the recent hearings is
I that all oleomargarine that has any
' tinge of yellow whether colored or
I uncolored is per se an imitation of
; butter. His desire is to create a line
'of demarkation so strong that there
will be no question as to what could
| constitute butter and as to what
would constitute oleomargarine. He
desired to have all oleomargarine
made white and butter to be made any
color that the producer may see fit.
( He concedes that June butter is made
1 in December by coloring but does not
propose to permit the same right of
■ coloring oleomargarine. You will see
that their purpose is sufficiently evi-
1 dent and that their desire is to still
further decrease if not to wipe out
entirely the manufacture of the arti-
cle as. if his opinions were to prevail
jit would practically demolish the In-
! dustry.”
Yesterday Afternoon’s Session.
The benefits of advertising and the
need of more advertising was pointed
out to the cottonseed crushers during
th? afternoon session yesterday in an
address by Frank P. Holland editor
of Farm and Ranch of Dallas. He told
of the increased use of cotton seed oil
for human consumption and predicted
that some day more persons will be
eating “Jo Allison” cotton seed flour
than wheat flour. “You will see the
day when cottonseed flour will re-
place meat” said he. “The cutting
up of ranges into farms is rapidly de-
a child; 1 couldn’t help it sir 1 really
couldu t.
*'Hc put his hand on my shoulder
and saiu: ‘1 understand your position
my boy and do not wonder al youi
bieaKiiig down; but cheer up and your
captain will save you it he can.’
••Welt the day of the trial came;
the court was crowded and not one
seemed to have any pity tor me. The
counsel lor the prosecution read bis
statement to the court; he told the
judge that a cold-blooded murder of
jthe vilest kind had taken place; chat
the circumstantial evidence would as-
sure the jury; that I was the real mur-
derer and tnat they could not hesitate
to bring >n their verdict of guilty on
the evidence brought before tae court.
“Ho related my frequent quarrels
with the murdered man my being sent
to prison for knocking him down my
being found with blood on my hands
and clothing and the bad character 1
bore iu the army.
‘•The judge then asked me: ‘Arc you
guilty or not guilty 1' 1 criod iu ft
rirm voice: ’Not guilty my lord.’ They
then brought the most condemning ovi
dcncc against me that it socmcd as if
it were impossible for tho Jury not to
convict me.
“The prosecution closed and I
could see that nothing short of a mira-
cle could save me; but I had faith in
pleting the meat supply of the world.
The world is waiting on the output ot
the oil mills of this country and all
that is necessary is to let the world
know what you have really got.’’
Coming all the way from New Eng-
land to address the meeting A. W.
Ellis of Boston spoke on tho subject
“The South’s Opportunity 'as Seen by
a New Englander.” He told of the
vast wealth of the New England com-
munities and advised strongly that
this market be carefully cutivated for
cotton seed purposes. He said the way
to do this was through publicity. He
advocated the shipping of cotton seed
oil north in one-gallon cans instead of
in bulk as is now done each can to
contain the proper trade mark and
guarantee of the Texas Cotton Seed
Crushers’ association. By that means
pure oil would get into the homes of
the consumers and tho demand would
be increased enormously.
The report of the arbitration com-
mittee was made by Jo W. Allison for
the Dallas district and James D. Daw-
son for the Houston district. The re-
ports were filed but not read.
ANTI-TRUST LAW FORBIDS
SETTING REGULAR PRICE
Texas Ginners Adopt Constitu-
tion and By-Laws and
Adjourn Till July 17.
The Texas Ginners’ association af-
ter adopting the constitution and by-
laws as prepared by the committee
composed of 8. T. Christian A. J. Mc-
Kean B. J. Lange C. F. Seharve Emil
Gerlick H. D. Green and B. F. John-
son adjourned yesterday afternoon to
meet July 17 at College Station.
During the interval every effort ’s
to be made to increase the membership
of the organization. Circulars will be
sent out to every ginner in the state
within the next thirty days. The mem-
bership now comprises 72 all in good
standing and it is tho determination of
these to make this one of the strong
est organizations in the state. The
first meeting was held in San Anto-
nio November 15 during the Interna-
tional fair.
During the afternoon C. F. Seharve
addressed the convention on “What
It Costs the Ginner to Gin Cotton”
and in the course of his remarks he
‘showed that it costs the ginner ev-
erything considered 70 cents a hun-
dred or $3.50 for a SOO-pound bale to
gin cotton. The average price paid
for ginning in the state makes the
handling of the cotton reed the only
profitable part of the business.
The fixing of a regular price for
ginning was discussed but it was de-
cided that because of the anti-trust
laws no price could be set.

OF RUSSI’S LITTLE JOKES

her pretty new dress that I felt posi-
life she would get the figures for me
at once.
Produced Note.
So I opened Mr. Russi’s note con-
fidently laid it on the desk in front
of her and just smiled without saying
anything at all.
Mr. Russi's clerk picked up the note
anil read it. Then she read it again.
She looked as if she was a little puz-
zled.
“Why I don’t know anything about
any books.” she said “unless it’s
these time-books here that we use to
make the payrolls.”
' \ A Bit Excited.
“That must be it” X said a little
bit excited I confess for I thought
I had the information I had sought so
long right in my grasp. “Just turn
to Stieren street and find how much
that pavement cost.”
No Stieren Street.
“Why there is no Stieren street
here” the girl said “this only shows
the names of the men at work.”
“Can’t we find out by getting the
ones that worked on Stieren street!”
I asked.
“Why no dear” the girl said
sweetly “how do I know who worked
on Stieren street?”
A Puzzle.
This was a puzzle. For a minute I
felt weak. I was so disappointed I
tried to think what I eonld' possibly
do in a dilemma like this. Finally I
m. de up my mind to just tell that
girl the whole story. I knew she
would sympathize with me—another
girl.
So I threw myself upon the merey
of Mr. Russi’s clerk. I told her I
had been sent out by the Light and
Gazette to get the cost of the paving I
on Stieren street —that I must get it
my job depended on it.
Helping Out.
I asked her if she knew of any way
in which I could get that information
in city ball or out of city hall any-
where ?
“Why you dear girl” she said
“I wish I could help you but honestly
I don't know how you could get it.
Some times Mr. Russi puts such things
in his annual reports; do you suppose
it would be in one of them!”
This was nn idea. Perhaps it would
be in one of the annual reports. Full
of hope T grasped at this.
What’s An Annual Report?
“Good” I said “let me see Mr.
Russi’s annual reports.”
“Oh we haven’t them here” the
kind young girl said. “When the re-
ports are finished we send them up to
the auditor and we never see them
again.”
Off I went to the city auditor’s of-
fice on this clue. The elevator hap-
pened to be up in the top of the build-
ing waiting for the elevator boy to
smoke a cigaret. I was in such a hurry
that I crawled under a scaffolding and
ran up the stairs to get to the audi-
tor's office. 1 ran in breathless and
cried out to Mr. Victor Beze the aud-
itor.
What’s That?
“Please give me Mr. Russi's annual
'reports. ’ ’
“What's that?” Mr. Beze said. He
is n very nice genteel man—Mr. Beze
—although at first I thought he looked
cross.
“I want Mr. Rudsi’s annual reports.”
“Mr. Russi’s reports? 1 never heard
of such a thing.”
“Why Mr. Russi's clerk told mg_
herself that she sends them to you.” 1
Never Saw One.
“If Mr. Russi said that” said Mr.
Beze “Mr. Russi said what isn’t true.
I don’t know anything about any an-
nual reports.”
THis was puzzling. In fact it was
I astounding. I busied myself looking
■ all around Mr. Beze’s office. He is an
: awfully busy man and I thought per-
’ haps he might have overlooked the atf-
nual reports. And sure enough high
up on the wall was a box with a label
reading:
* ANNUAL REPORTS.

“See that?” f cried out pointing to
these words in triumph. Mr. Beze look-

aider it my duty to„punish them severe-
ly. An innocent man stands beofre you.
There is no need for you to retire to
consider your verdict. But I demand
in the name of tbe law that you shall
declare in open court that Trooper Mc-
Gregor is not guilty of the murder of
Sergeant Harding and that he leaves
this court without a stain on his char-
acter. ’
“The jury gladly passed the verdict
of not guilty and Captain Lexington
shook hands with irfc.
“Amid the ringing cheers I was car-
ried shoulder high from the court to
barracks. From that day I reformed.
Captain Lexington took me with him
as orderly and I have been with him
since. You cannot wonder now that he
has saved my life and honor I owe my
'life to him and I am ready to lay it
down at anv time to serve him.”
“You arre a brave man. McGregor
and I shall do all in my power to help
you as Captain Lexington would’’ re-
plied Grant.
“Thank you sir and I shall appre-
ciate your kindness very much.”
“I must now visit the gun sections”
said Grant. “And anything you may
hear concerning Captain Lexington you
will let me know at once.”
“Right sir” said McGregor salut-
ing. and with that Grant passed on.
(Continued Monday.)
