Revival CASTOR
Bean INDUSTRY

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE
great demand for castor oil as a lubri-
cant for airplane motors has brought
about the revival of the castor bean
industry.
According to the Bureau of Aircraft
production 100000 acres of castor
beans planted in eight southern states
and California, Cuba, Haiti and Santo
Domingo is proving successful, and
that the supply of oil from this terri
tory will be available this fall and
probably some of it this month. It is
estimated that the average acre VII
produce 20 gallons of oil of No grade
making 100000 gallons for the first
year.
Although castor oil beans are not ma
tive to this country, il is believed they
will grow readily in the south. They
can be grown between rows of citrus
trees, also on land previously ruined
by the boil weevil. The government
will let contracts for crushing the pick
ed crops.
Briefly, the process Of manufacturing
castor oil entails cold pressing of the
beans for extraction of the oil suitable
for aviation engines and medicinal
purposes. This oil is purified by fill
tration process and is then ready for
use. The residue of the first pressing
is treated and an additional supply Of
inferior oil is obtainable. This is
known as No. 8 grade. After the ex-
traction Of the inferior oil, castor po-
mace remains, which, when ground,
makes a valuable fertilizer
The results of this work, which are
now well under way, are due to great
extent to the cooperation between the
department of agriculture. the war
trade board and the materials depart
ment OF the bureau of aircraft produc-
ton.
Although castor oil is not essential
as a lubricant for the Liberty motor,
it is necessary for rotary motors. In
this type the gas is taken in through
the crankcase, where it comes in con-
tact with the oil, but, as castor oil IS
only slightly soluble in gasoline, it is
practically unaffected.

BREAK A CH|LD'S
COLD BY GIVING
SYRUP OF FIGS
Look, Mother! Is tongue coated,
breath feverish and
stomach sour?
Cleanse the little liver and bow
els and they get well
quickly.

When your child suffers from a cold
don't wait; give the little stomach,
liver and bowels a gentle, thorough
cleansing at once. When cross, peev-
ish, Hstless, pale, doesn't sleep, eat or
act naturally; if breath is bad, stom-
ach sour give a teaspoonful of Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs and in a few
hours all the clogged- up, constipated
waste, sour bile and undigested food
will gently move out o. the bowels,
and you have a well, playful child
again.
If your child coughs, snuffles and
has caught cold or is feverish or has
a sore throat give a good dose of Cal
ifornia Syrup of Figs" to evacuate the
bowels no difference what other treat
ment is given.
Sick children needn't be coaxed to
take this harmless fruit laxative"
Millions of mothers keep it handy be-
cause they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask your druggist for a bottle, of
California Syrup of Figs" which con-

all ages and for grown-ups plainly on

here. Get the genuine, made by Cali

HA|G STOPS HUN
ON RUSH TOWARD
WESTERN FRONT

Washington. D. c., Aug. IA great
German retirement on the western
front between Arras and verdun is I'M
inent.
General Haig's new offensive at the
apex of the salient pointing toward
Paris at Montdidier is the beginning
of the end of the German occupation OF
France.
This is the belief of American mill
tary experts who are watching close
ly the developments on the battle
front.
The results of the F'ranco-British Of
fensive southeast of Montdidier can
not yet be determined, but they will
merely hasten a German retreat which
was inevitable whether or not the al
lies bagai their assault.
Forestalis German Offensive.
The Germans had planned one more
great smash at the allied armies in
Flanders, to be followed by big
retirement along the whole front be-
low the Belgian border. The big
smash was to have been launched by
Prince Rupprecht at the British army
in Flanders. Its purpose was to pro-
tect the German extreme right flank
in Belgium, so that when the retreat
takes place the Huns would still MAIN
tain their grip on the nation they are
holding as a pawn for peace negotia-
tons.
General Foch was fully aware of this
plan, and the Franco-British drive was
launched to forestall it's being carried
into execution.
His offensive means that the Ger
man retreat will come all the quicker.
Ludendorff will soon give the word to
his armies to fall back along the 215-
mile front between Arras and Verdun,
establishing a new line through Cam
brai and st. Quentin as Hindenburg
did last year.
Shortening Is Necessary.
This would make the line at least
20 miles shorter. 1t would release sew
eral hundred thousand troops for con-
solidation of the new positions to pre-
pare them for the winter deadlock.
This Strengthening process must be
put into effect by the Germans before
winter, because If it isn't they won't
have enough men to hold the line.
The present salient which has its
apex at Montdidier, pointing at Paris,
will be wiped out, giving the allies
once more possession of hundreds OF
French villages which the Huns oc-
cupied in their sweep along the Som
me last March.
The German general staff is fully
cognizant of the fact that the Ameri-
can army has given Marshal Foch
superiority in numbers, and that his
superiority will put victory in the
hands of the allies IL they attempt a
great drive this autumn.
To offset this superiority before the
winter the Huns undertook their series
of osfensives this spring and summer
Each failed and the LAST resulted in a
great. French and American victory
So the Germans are ready to concede
defeat and make the best stand they
can for the cold months on a line
miles behind the present front.

1t was thought the fire was caused
by the lightning
The dining room, kitchen and pantry
extend back in an ell from the main
body Of the house and when the fire
was discovered they were enveloped in
flames and all contents therein lost
From thu main portion of the house
they saved some things but tehey were
badly damaged as they were taken out
during the worst part of the storm
and rain.
Mr.. Greenwood and family lost some
furniture, shoes, clothes, hats and
many other things
