NEW INDUSTRY IN
SIGHT FOR OREGON

Growing castor beans may soon be.
come an important industry in Ore
gon, if Investigations now being made
by the University of Oregon school OF
commerce lead to successful conclu-
sionS
Castor beans now have a tremen-
dous commercial value because the
oil which is extracted from them is
used for lubricating airplane motors.
The oil is hard to obtain and the
beans can be grown only in the
warmer climates in a damp atmos-
phere.
Government officials and repre-
sentatives of the school of commerce
believe that certain parts of western
and southern Oregon are we'll adapt
ed to this purpose.
On account of the certainty that
airplanes will play an important part
in the commercial development of the
country after the war, the demand
for castor oil and hence for castor
beans will be permanent.

WOMEN TO RECEIVE
SPECIAL WAR COURSE

The surgeon general of the United
States has selected Reed College as
one of six certified institutions for
the training of reconstruction aides.
All applicants for such training from
the western part of the United States
will be referred by the war depart
ment to Reed College.
Reconstruction aides are women
employed by the surgeon general to
give remedial exercises prescribed for
the care of patients in hospitals and
other sanitary formations of the
army.
Women graduates of Reed College,
with physical education as their ma
jor subject, are qualified for appoint
ment as reconstruction aides without
further training. A special course
of three months will be given at Reed
College beginning March l, 1918.
The course comprises instruction
in anatomy, physiology, personal hy-
giene, posture, theory of bandaging,
corrective gymnastics and other rem
edial exercises.
The course has been arranged by
DR.. Bertha Stuart, professor of phys
ical educationy now on temporary
leave of absence from Reed College
for service in France. Instruction
will be given by DR. Harry B. Torrey,
Charles S. Botsford, Miss Frieda
Goldsmith and Miss Dorothy Elliott,
of the faculty of Reed College, and
by DR.. Norman c. Peace, medical ex-
aminer of Reed College, and Dir. Otis
Akin, orthopedic surgeon.
Women wishing to take the course
must make application to the secre-
tary of Reed College on blanks pro-
vided for the purpose. Applicants
must be between the ages of 22 and
40 years.
The surgeon general announces
that "the aides must be women with
powers Of personal subordination,
able to cooperate generally, and
capable of demonstrating team play
as it is essential that this new force
have standard and morale of the
highest order. On this spirit, more
than any other thing, will the physi-
cal re-education of returned soldiers
depend"

it-wherever possible without too
great sacrifice-should return to
the soil and give to 1t his best labor

matter of his daily labors, though
these would count largely in results.
There is the more important fact of
his experience and broader knowl-
edge of farm problems. His hand at
the helm would be an inspiration to
the entire farm force and would
count powerfully in the final results.
There could be no finer exhibition
of patriotism than for the ex-farmers
of the country, wherever and however
situated, to'return to the soil at least
through the period of the war, when
they could be of such untold aid to
their country.

WASH THE KIDNEYS

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. BY some mis-
terious process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or gout. The urine is often
cloudy, full Of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
80 it is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
n. Y, advises "Washing the Kidneys
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then if you want
to take harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your nearest drug
glst and obtain Anuric double strength).
This "Anuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out
the uric acid poisons and bathe the kid
neys and channels in q soothing LIQUID.
II you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water for free
examination. Experience has taught
DR.. Pierce that uAnuricn is a most.
powerful agent in dissolving uric acid,
as hot water melts sugar. uAnuric" is a,
rN0rlar insurance and life-saver for all.

LET'S FIGHT THE WAR AND
POLITICS LATER.

Conservative citizens everywhere
will deplore the attempt on the part
of some of our misguided statesmen
to reopend the party fights that have
been our custom in years past. Moth
ing at this time could be worse for
the country than bitter political
fight throughout the land. Every in
terest Of the country demands unity
of sentiment and action. Republican
politicians could not hope for advan-
tage except at the expense of great
harm to their country, and such ac-
ton on the part of democrats could
be nothing butt suicidal.
Doubtless there have been mis-
takes made and blunders committed
what administration has been free
from them? But these mistakes have
not been such as to call for a politi-
cal upheaval. We are not ready to
admit to our enemy that our leaders
have been unequal to the task re-
quired of them. If the malcontents
will lay aside personal ambitions and
put their shoulders to the wheel in
an honest endeavor to achieve the
great task before us, they will find
their ambitions much surer of attain
ment than by instigating a fight that
could have no other effect than to
embarrass the administration.
If republican leaders will take ex-
Secretary Roots advice and forget
that they have any political bias, and
If the administration will remember
that the patriotism of republicans is
just as deep and fervid as their own,
we will win through to glorious VIC
tory.
Nothing could give our enemy more
comfort at this time than for Ameri-
cans to revive old political contests
and reopen old political sores.

HOW ABOUT THE FARM?

In the working out Of the farm
problems the coming season the
country is up against some stubborn
facts. It is useless to blind our eyes
TO the situation-we are short of
farm workers, and that at a time
when even more are needed than at
any time heretofore. The working
of the selective draft may give some
relief, but can not entirely remedy
matters. Even without the loss of
the thousands of young men recently
called the farms have been short
handed for several years.
In this connection we would call
attention to some facts that should
interest us. 1t has been noted for
some time that many farmers, after
years OF effective work on their
farms, have left them and moved to
the towns, leaving their lands in the
care of tenants. This has been bad
for the farms In many ways, particu-
1arly in that 1t deprived the lands Of
the care of men of experience and
superior judgment, both so vitality
necessary at this time.
These men are still in the towns,
hundreds of them. thousands of them.
While they may be substantial fac
tor of the town force, their presence
IS at this time most urgently demand
ed on the farms. Every farm in the
land is crying out for the guiding
hand and brain of its owner-the one
person who should have the deepest
interest in its success.

ROSEBURG SOLDIER
TELLS OF FRANCE

The following interesting letter
published in the Roseburg Eveninl
News from Lenoir Ragsdale, who Is
with the United States expeditionary
forces in France, to his mother, Mrs
j. A. Buchanan of Roseburg, gives
an amusing description of the life OF
the soldiers in France:
Somewhere in France,
January 13, 1918.
My Dear Mother: This is Sunday
according to the calendar, but had
not happened to notice it is Sunday
| would not have known it, for, at
present, one day Is the same as an
other here.
Not being able to tell you just
when we left the U. S. or how Tex
cept to state we did not swim), or
when or where we arrived, or where
we are now, must confine my re-
marks to personal and private mat
ters.
There are so many wonderful and
interesting things to be seen here,
and so many postcards | would love
to send if ! only could, but I'll have
to take chances on getting them when
we start home.
We think some of the trains in the
U. S. A. travel like the "slow train
through Arkansas" but you should
travel here. We came here in a
mixed train, consisting of first, Sec
ond and third class passage, and side
door Pullmans with straw on the
floor.
Up to the time of arriving at this
place, after disembarking we had
very little opportunity to sleep or
rest, as nearly all our moves were in
the dark and during very cold wealth
err and so far as / am able to OBJ
serve there are no provisions made
for heating the coaches, at least the
trains used for the transportation Of
troops.
Aside from colds, we are all doing
fine and getting acclimated. There
are no closed sewers, so, as for sani-
tary conditions-well, there are none
here. The street cars are about like
the old-fashioned horse car, except
they are run by trolleys and women.
The fare is 10 centimes or about 2
cents. We have not received any pay
since October, so have had very little
opportunity to test the buying quail
ties of French money. A franc is the
base price, plus or minus so many
centimes, so centimes equalling a lit
tie less than 10 cents.
