'Will Install New Garage in Elgin.
L. A. 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.'

rolls made from the new flour costs

The manufacturers of the cotton
seed stuff predict that when the pro
cess is better developed the new flour
may be cheaper than ordinary flour.
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. It is now made
into meal an dhulU for livestock, oil
for cooking and flour for baking as
well as leaving something for fertil
izer. The oil has numerous uses, even
appearing in adulterations of ke
cream.

Flour Substitute Found.
Dallas, Tex., April 16. Wouldn't it
make you feel good to read that they
have invented a substitute for flour?
A "better than flour" substitute? And
wouldn't you think at once of the high
cost of living getting a severe ioli. in
I these days when the price of bread
is increasing.
Well, a substitute for flour has been
invented.. It is cotton seed flour. But
it's no cheaper than flour. In fact,
just now its twice as expensive. You
may now have cotton seed biscuits,
cotton seed bread, and cotton seed
