Columbia, Sept 5.—Cottonseed pro ducts and oil mil] men meeting here yesterday established $70 per ton as a fair prloo for eBUunseed In carlOffg - lots and $67 from the wagon. This was unanimously agreed upon and seed will sell for that price today as practically every oil mill in the State - represented and no opposition was ■'•'red to the report of the commit tee which recommended the above prices. This price was fixed after two hours’ discussion and after the meeting had ngreed that seed should sell accord ing to the value of the by-products, oil, meal, hulls and linters. In arrtv-* riVing at the price which was agreed upon the committee based its figures on the prevailing figures for the four products yesterday and the seed price will fluctuate up and down as these four products" rlse. ftnd rnlttee calculated that the gross sales from a ton of cottonseed yesterday would have been $96.69 and from this' figure deduct S^per cent for the mill’s profit, $15.50 for manufabturing costs," $2 for freight costs and 5 per cent, off for the present green condition of the seed. From these figures it was unanimously agreed that the mills would pay $70 per ton for car-lots of seed and $67 for those bought of^wag- ons while dealers were allowed $3 commission on a ton, the same as last year. This price is $2 above what was being paid yesterday morning. The committee arriving at these prices was elected from the house and was fomposed of two seed dealers, two Oil mill men, two farmers and B. Harris. Following is the personnel of the body: B.

Nearly all business girls wear over sleeves while at work;' but if the sleeves are made of the usual black or dark material, they give a severe look to any dress. It is a good plan to make the sleeves from men’s handkerchiefs; the cheap ones, sold for ten cents, answer the purpose. Perhaps the most serv iceable kind is that with a white cen ter and a colored border. A center the dirt _BQon_ fad^ and- the goods off whTeh it is used is likely to be more expensive than the white handkerchiefs. Fold the handkerchiefs diagonally twice, to form a right-angled triangle, tour folds In thickness, with the edges of the handkerchief as the hypotenuse. Then cut off one of the corners or acute angle, somewhat on a slant. The wrist of the sleeve should be about five Inches before It is bound. All seams must be French ones so that there shaTT be "no roughness. Gather the wrist slightly, and bind it with a bias strip from one of the pieces that were cut off. It should be from three and three-fourths to four and one-quarter inches across when finished, or just large enough to slip the hand through easily. A narrow edging of lace may be added; it gives the sleeves; a more finished appear- apee. Folding twice, of course, gives a pair of sleeves from ope "handker chief. When the sleeves are in use, the seam comes on the inside of the arm, and the poiqt is pinned on the outside, Just above the elbow. That will hold the sleeve comfortably in place, anfl the strain being on the hi* of the cloth. It gtyea-ndth^eve^v motloir of thq arm, and fits more closely than a sleeve made on the straight would. Such a sleeve can also be worn hy any housekeeper when she is at her work. They can be made and laun dered so easily that they commend themselves to the practical girl.
