Stuop, who recently re ceived the agency for the Ford autos in Elgin, has leased the two west rooms of the Sommer brick building on Main street and will immediately install a new garage. The west room, which ha3 been oc cupied by the E. 0. Light and Power Co. for the past few years has been I vacated, the office and fixtures of that firm having been moved to the east ' room. : Workmen are already at work re modeling the two west rooms and in a few days will have them in shape for the receival and installation of such machinery as will- be needed for a modern garage in a town the size of Elgin. Mr. Stoop states that he will install sufficient machinery to perform any ordinary or necessary repair work and expects to be in business in that line within a very short time. The new garage, together with the J uiiraii)- esiaoiisr.eu Mere by J. II. Barnes & Son, will provide. Elgin with two modem institutions of that char acter, and the increasing number of automobiles undoubtedly justifies the installation of the new plant.'

Not so many years back the cotton seed was considered of little or no value. It was left in great stacks in the fields and used as fertilizer. - Then a series of remarkable discoveries added millions to the value -of each cotton crop by developing new uses for hte cotton seed.
