S-Desr Editor of The Chronicles:
Will you please allow me little
space in your paper to say few
words about this country.
France is nice country with
good rich farming land. They
have fine crops of wheat, rye, bar
ley, beans, oatsand potatoes. Corn
is not grown here. Instead of liv-
'ng separately, as you do in The
States, the people here live in viii
iages. The dwelling houses and
barnes connect, as q rule. The
custom is not liable 20 become
popular in the good old United
States.
There are a good many Benton
County boys near us and we get to-
gether often and tell our experien-
ces since we left home and wonder
what Our friends at home are do
ing. We are always glad when the
mail brings us letters and feel dis
epointed when We do not hear from
home.
Write often and tell us all the
news and we want our friends to
pray for us that we may be guided
eight and win g great victory so
that we can return to dear old
Tennessee.

l91S-Dear Editor The Chronicles:
Will you kindly allow a soldier boy
ia little space in your esteemed pa
per. [ am asking this favor of you
YIN order that I may reach the.
people of dear old Benton and ad-
monish them of the great RESPONSE
hility resting upon the people of
our Nation in this worlds war.
a. [ trust that those who can not
so and fight will be deeply impress
ed with the fact that there is some
thing for all of them to do. If you
can not fight you can lend your
money to Uncle Sam so that he can
provide for the boys who are fight
ing for the freedom of the world.
I insist that you consider the
gravity of the situation in which
we as a Nation are placed.
Just think who are protecting
you. These soldiers and sailors
must be clothed and fed; they
lnust have uniforms and arms to
fight with and it takes money and
lots of it to supply what is actually
needed to successfully defend our
country.
/ am doing my bit as best I can.
1n addition to offering myself
living sacrifice 1 have purchased a
800 Liberty Bond and our CON-
pany has bought nearly $4,000
Worth Of bonds. Are you holding
slp your end of the line?
May God speed the day when all
the people of this Nation will wake
up to their full duty by taking all
the bonds offered by the Govern
ment.

ARMY WAREHOUSES;
PREY OF FLAMES
Origin of Fire at Washington Bar
racks Attributed to Smoking
of Soldiers

Washington, Jan. 14.--A quantity
of army supplies was destroyed, the
quartermaster warehouse ruined and
several other buildings damaged by a
fire today at the Washington bar
racks occupied by engineers troops. A
large part Of the city's fire apparatus
was called upon to fight the flames
which were given impetus by the cx-
ploSion.
After a hard fight OF an hour and
a half, the fire was eXtinguishcd. An
ordnance building containing guam
tity of small arms ammunition was
endangered, but soldiers removed
what was stored there
Col. J. x. Earle. commander of the
barracks, stated that investigation,
convinced him that the fire was not
started by a spy or enemy sympa-
thizcr. He said it was caused by for
biddcn smoking by soldiers Of a fa-
tiguc detail.
An estimate of the damage by Col.
Earle placed the loss at about $780,
000
A limited quantity of clothing and
shoes was destroyed.
The office buildings of the quar-
tcrmastcr department, and teh ware
house were the first to catch. In the
warehouse, which occupied about a
city block, was stored quantity of
gasoline; this soon exploded and in
tensified and spread the blaze The
fire burned fiercely and the fircmen
had difficulty in keeping it from
spreading to nearby buildings. In the
warehouse was stored clothing, shoes
and other supplies for the army.
Soldiers stationed at the barracks
hastily removed ammunition stored in
the ordinance Building nearby, and as
sisted the firemcn in fighting the
flames.

uncle SAM WANTS
FARMERS TO GROW
CASTOR BEANS
And Farmers of South Carolina Are
Urged to Grow the Bean That
Produces IL
FOR LUBRICATING AIRSHIPS
Revival of Industry in This State Will
be Patriotic and Profitable

Washington, Jan. l0.-Special: An
emergency has arisen. The govern
ment will require large quantities of
castor oil for lubrcating the aero
plane engines. The supply is short
and South Carolina, Georgia and Flor
ida are going to be called upon to
grow castor beans for the government
and for which the government will
pay prices which they believe will
make it more profitable crop than
any other staple grown in that sec
ton.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
ments for finding an oil for lubricat-
ing the liberty motors, which will be
used in flying machines, other than
castor oil; but these experiments have
been in vain, and the only oil that will
flow under the atmospheric conditions
and temperature conditions met with
by these machines is castor oil.
Situation Different Now
In this country years ago castor oil
was grown quite extensively and the
leading States were Kansas, Oklaho-
ma and Missouri; but India, with la
Dor which could be hired at ten and
twenty cents Il day, furnished this oil
so cheaply that the industry practical
ly died out. The submarine has taken
its toll and greatly reduced the
worlds shipping facilities, and now
the industry must be revived, and in
danger from frost and in the sections
where they have long growing seas
ons; and South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida are expected to meet the
emergency.
Mr.. II. S. Evans, assistant develop
ment agent Of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Company, with offices at
Hamlet, N. g., ha sheen given Il con
tract to secure the planting of 10000
acres to castor beans, and the farm
crs of South Carolina and Georgia
are expected to grow anywhere from
five to 100 acres or more for him.
The government is going to furnish
the seed at exact cost to the govern
mcnt, plus the cost of transportation,
but they are not to be paid for until
after the crop is grown, and from the
crop. Mr.. Evans will be authorized
to pay to any farmer who will grow
these beans $3 per bushel for his en-
tire crop, delivered at the nearest rail
road station.
Easy to Grow
Those who have grown castor beans
say it is one of the easiest crops pro-
duced. Their is no insect pest which
is known to attack it. Animals and
live stock will not eat it,
A bushel consists of forty-six
pounds and the price paid will be bet
ter than Id cents per pound, and in
times past they have been profitably
grown at three cents pound.
Any farmer desiring to secure seed
and grow this crop under contract
in South Carolina or Georgia, will be
expected to address Mr.. r. S. Evans,
at Hamlet, N. C.
1t is not only patriotic duty to
grow these beans, but it is profitable
as well, and it is helping to win the
war. Posters will be furnished to all
farmers growing this crop, which they
can post on their farms, showing that
they are "doing their bit" towards
to win the war.

FEBRUARY IS
Further Talk of Possibility of Final
Break in Peace Negotiations
Between Russians and
Huns
STORMY TIMES IN BERLIN
Russian Soldiers Loot Town; Force
1000 Ukranians to Surrender
-COssacks Are Defeated

Although there is still talk in un-
official quarters of the possibility Of
final break in the peace negotiations
between the Central Powers and the
Bolshevilzi, the armistice evidently has
been extended to Fbruary 18 and it
is reported that the pourparlers will
be transferred shortly from Brest-
Litovsk to Warsaw.
Late advices indicate that there was
considerable haggling between the op-
posing delegates at Brest-Litovsk the
latter part of last week. Trotzky,
Bolsheviki foreign minister, as in the
previous deliberations, proved recalci-
'trant with regard to the German for
mula, "that tho contracting parties
have resolved henceforth to live in
peace and friendship" declared that it
"is decorative phrase" and did not
describe what the future relations be-
tween the Russian and German peo-
pies would be.
Internal Strife
Internal strife continues in various
parts of Russia. Bolsheviki troops are
reported to have cleared Gen. Kale-
dme'c CosSacks from the Don river
basin and tc have captured Ekate
rinoalaI Following previous reports
Of q m;.tiny Of sailors at Sebast opel,
where twcnty-siX officers, amons;

the provinces and taking food from
the inhabitants and bringing it back
to the capital and selling it at exor-
bitant prices.
The social revolutionary members
of the constituent assembly in Rus
sia are opposed to a general peace at
Russia's expense and declare that the
Bolsheviki are "usurpers of power
who have precipitated the country in
to an abyss of civil war and anarchy"
Stormy Times in Berlin
Speculation is rife concerning the
conferences that are being held in
Berlin between the military and po-
litical leaders, in which Emperor Will
liam and the Crown Prince also have
participated "a death struggle is
now proceeding between the Reich
stag peace majority and the military
annexationist party" says a Bavari-
an newspaper, which, adds that it
"does not know which side of the gov
ernment will support and that Egyp-
tian darkness cnshrouds the nations
peace terms"
Cold weather and SHOWS are still
rctarding the infantry activity on the
battle front, where no fighting of mo-
ment is taking place, except in the ma
ture of small patrol engagements and
artillery duels. Notwithstanding the
fact that similar conditions prevailed
last week, the British casualties for
the seven days ending this Monday
were 24,979 as compared with 1898
the previous week, and 9,951 the week
before that.
