That two old men who are totally

to build a comfortable ,:even -roomed
dwelling without any assistance from
anyone is certainly a very remarkable
feat to accomplish. - The house that

t.'oiten Seed Talk
One
of the e most important in-
dustries in which wealth is naw trade
from what many generations was re-
garded as waste Is that of t:ealing
with cotton seed. In the great planta-
tions of the United States the seed
for years and years and' yearn was
thrown away as itselesit. Then some-
one arose who made money by ea-
tracttng the ell. To -day hundreds of
factories turn out millions of pottada
of cottonseed oil every year, that pro -
