SUDDEN PROMINENCE
OF A CROP

To many who have admired the
beauty of the Palma Christi, or cas-
tor bean, or condemned it as a nuis-
ance when its too luxuriant growth
in favorable seasons and soils made
it difficult to suppress in this state,
the sudden prominence it has taken
this year as crop promising wealth
to Florida must seem somewhat be-
wildering But those who have fol-
lowed the articles in the Times-Un-
ion upon the urgent need the nation
al government finds for an immediate
production of large quantities of the
oil expressed from its seed as a war
measure understand now why the fed
eral authorities are urging an unusual
acreage of the plant this year. 1t is
the only oil which can be produced
in sufficient abundance and cheaply
enough to serve the purposes of lub-
rication of the engines of airplanes
and submarines, the only one which
preserves the proper qualities Of a
lubricant alike under the greatly de-
creased pressure of high altitude and
the high pressure found in the depths
of the sea.
Florida has the great good fortune
of possessing a climate and soil which
promises the most abundant yield and
the greatest certainty in production.
Hence 40 per cent of the acreage de-
sired has been assigned to this state,
the remainder being distributed
among other states of the far South,
California, Porto Rico and the Domin-
ican Republic.
The ease with which it is cultiva-
ted is known to everyone who has
seen it grow into a tree even in
northern Florida when a succession
of mild winters has allowed Of its
continuous growth. Even then the
neglected tree will yield a great crop
OF pods, even an enormous one when
the seed has fallen into rich soil.
Observation shows that no other
plant more richly repays fertilization
and cultivation. And no matter how
great the yield, the grower is assured
that the government will pay highly
remunerative prices for the product,
besides furnishing free the seed for
planting.

sent today a communication from one

THIS ENEMY ALIEN"
WANTS TO SERVE L. =.

Camp Dodge, Iowa, Feb. Sired
Adams, a private of the 35eth in
fantry, is looking forward with re-
greet to the day when he will be dis
charged from the service of the Unit
ed States. He is German by birth,
arc just two days before he was
called to the colors in the draft re-
ceived his first naturalization papers.
However, he has been adjudged an
alien under the terms of the law by
officials of the war department and
has been ordered discharged. He
spent two years in the German army.
When the man in camp were solic-

The Great American Family

For years dad has toiled for the

Now dad is in fix where he needs

Then there is another thing. No

certain others loafed, that was free
from internal fights. They are al

keep them equally occupied, and
there is four times the good feeling

Advised
To Back Up Wilson

BASEL, Sept. 12.-Count Michael
Karolyi, president Of the Hungarian
Independent party, in an open letter
to his electors, recommends an early
peace, and says:
A decisive military victory, despite
it's successes, is dream which it Is
useless to pursue. The prime con-
dition of peace negotiations is the
characterization of nations and the
abandonment of imperialistic theo-
ries. A second condition is that we
should not become slaves to the idea
Of q middle Europe, either militarily,
economically or politically, and that
we should not strengthen our alli-
ance with Germany, which would
form the first step toward the reall-
cation OF this central Europe.
We ought to accept as basis for
negotiations President Wilson's pro-
gram.

IN MEMORY OF
JAMES NEWTON DUGGAR.

James Newton Duggar was born
April 26, 1900; professed faith in
Christ in meeting held at the Meth
odist church at Baileyton in January,
1915, and died February N, 1918.
Springtime has come and passed
into the warmth and beauty Of sum-
mer; the summer days, too, have hur-
ried by and now the old school bell
is calling together the students and
teachers of Baileyton High School
for another year of work. When the
boys and girls gather in the choir
for the morning prayer service, we
think Of James, who so many times
Joined his voice with ours in singing
the old songs. We can see him yet,
his face bright and smiling as the
morning.
When the class Of 1919 organizes,
as soon it will, with a membership of
perhaps eleven or more, his class
mates will remember James and wish
that he could be with them STILL They
will recall their lessons together and
how he in his manly way so often
led in the school work.
The new secretary OF the Clionian
Literary society in glancing over last
years records will read minutes rec
orded by James not long before he
went away. On other pages his name
will be found as president, showing
his interest in the organization and
the confidence and esteem of his
schoolmates.
Those who are left of the old bas-
ketball team sometimes ook at the
photographs taken with James as
their coach and none of them can
forget his interest in the Athletic
association.
Some Of his teachers are now far
away, but each holds a loving mem
DRY of his many acts Of kindness
and help.
No, James is not forgotten. His
sudden illness and death was shock,
such caused us all the deepest sad
mes. We tried to show to his heart
broken parents how deep was our
sympathy, and now, as we add this
small token of our loving renrem-
brance Of their son, we wish to as
sure them that James will always
hold warm place in our memory.
We believe that in heaven there viii
be a glad reunion of these pved ones.
Therefore we are comforted.

Two Of these are in ST. Etlenne and
three in Lyon. All have cafeterIas
connected with them.
Girls and women who work in these
factories are Of all classes and ages,
hut all are French. The men EN-
ployees are Of every nation Chinese,
Cingalese, Algerian, Moroccan and
Portuguese. Many of the women are
refugees. Multltudes have lost every
relative and friend, There are daugh-
ters, mothers and grandmothers among
them.
These foyers are the only place ex-
cept the street that the majority have
In which to spend their out Of work
hours. Barracks for sleeping eating
and bathing are the only provision
made for the comfort Of the workers

waists, stitch on the sewing machines,
read and rest The rooms are their
homes. Games and entertainment are
provided and educational classes. OF
the classes the English ones are by far
the most popular.

Delayed. )-InAuence Of women is
being felt not only in the dugouts
and first line trenches, but out upon
the battlefield.
In the pockets of dead allied sol

Many love letters are found in the
pockets just over the soldiers hearts.
Some are just simple letters from
home, but these often prove the sol

what army he belongs to.
Human nature is the same on both
sides, so far as these touching let

Tuesday, Oct. Isl,
Big Day at
District Fair

A lot Of people are asking what
win be the best day Of the week to
attend the Chattanooga District fair.
The fair officials say that the fair
will be too big for any person to see
It all in one day, but for those who
can spare only one day, they recon-
mend Tuesday, October 1st.
One Of their reasons for this is
that BY Tuesday everything will be
inN place, and having been just put
up, it may be more complete and
look fresher than it will later in the
week.
Another reason is the big parade
which will feature the morning hours.
This is being put on by the Chatta-
nooga Auto Club and the Patterson
circus. 1t will also contain military
organizations and will be one Of the
biggest affairs Of the kind ever seen
in Chattanooga.
Still another reason is that on
Tuesday there are number of spe-
cial attractions which will not be at
the fair all week For instance,
Tuesday is one OF the three racing
days and an especially interesting
program is promised to harness low
ers for that afternoon. Auto polo,
the most thrilling and fascinating of
all games, will be at the fair but
three days, and Tuesday is one Of
the three. All Of the big vaudeville
features which occur other days will
be on Tuesday, so you will not miss
anything by coming that day.
Tuesday viii be Girls Club day
and the special exercises for the girls
who come from all over the district
will occur that afternoon, The Dis
trict Fair School for Boys will open
that afternoon and win be another
feature. The Kiwanis club will put
on big pow-wow at noon, and will
be well worth seeing.
There is every reason to believe
that the attendance will be the larg-
est ever known at a fair in Chatta-
nooga The railroads will grant spe-
cial reduced rates, but those who
have autos are urged to come direct
to the fair by motor Admission to
the grounds will be free for auto
mobiles and Fords.
An opportunity of lifetime is to
see the United States soldiers at
Chickamauga Park, and every pa
triotic American should plan visit
to Chattanooga this fall for the dual
purpose Of seeing the soldiers and
the big district fair.
