CRAY MAY TAKE
M'AD00'S PLACE
Former Director of Rail
road Operations Talked
of as Director General.

Carl R. Gray. who resigned last
week as director of the division of
operations of the United States Rail-
road Administration, may succeed
Director General McAdoo. it was
learned here yesterday in railroad
circles.
Mr.. Gray's name came into relief
when it was definitely known that
S. NJ. FELTON,, who also resigned last
week as director general of military
railroads under the War Depart
ment, would not accept the place
at the head of the government rail-
road organization but had deter
mined to return to his place as
president of the Chicago Greal
Western.
Before accepting the post as d.
rector of the division of operations
Mr.. Gray had definitely severed his
connection with the Western Mary
land Railroad as its president His
resignation from the government
position was not to return to the
Western Maryland, but was due to
the strain of work under which he
has been.
That he has been urged to accept
the place soon to be made vacant
by Mr.. McAdoo's retirement was
learned yesterday.
Mr.. Gray, as head of the opera
tions division, was chiefly respon-
sible for bringing about the national
system of railroad operation that
has obtained under Federal control.
Under his direction the consofida-
tions of schedules and track and
equipment facilities was organized.
He also had charge of the untang-
ling of the blockade situation ex-
listing last winter.

, In a candid. forceful way. the

> That the firmest keystone for
the foundation Of such a league
would be the closest possible as
sociation and cooperation Of Great
Britain and America.
Big welcome Assured.

The President will penetrate the

tremendous good for the relations be-

Wilson showed infinite courage in
breaking all precedents by coming to

Control All Raw Material.
The real basis for league of na-
tions should be found in the closest
possible association of the two most
powerful nations in the world. Quite
apart from ideals. the reality is that
these two English speaking nations

would be impossible to start a scrap

The league of nations is certainly
one Of the most important of the

BIG N I w
INDUSTRY
Farm Agent Finds This Coed Castor Bean
District; Price of Product High;
Demand Great

There may be a new industry grow
up in this country if the plans which
are on foot here develop into a real
ity A good many years ago It seems
that this was one Of the best castor
bean producing countries in any part
of the United States. But because Of
the low price that was paid for the
castor bean at that time it did not
pay to raise the product unless it
was undertaken on very large and
extensive scale
But with the advent of the air
plane the motor truck and the auto
mobile it is thought tne castor bean
industry can be made a paying prop
osition since the oil that is obtained
from the bean makes one of the best
lubricating oils that can be obtained
from any source II the production
of crude oil keeps falling off as it has
in the past year it is practically GER
tain that castor oil will be substitut.
ed for the crude product.
1t is stated by those who have in
yestigated the matter that the castor
Gil is being substituted for the crude
refined product as a lubricating oil
in the motors of airplanes since it
a much smoother lubricant tian any
other that has been made.
o. c. Cooper, farm agent, said that
lie had been receiving inquiries re-
garding the growing conditions of cas-
tor beans in this part of the country
and as to whether there were any
seed here. 81 find upon investigating
the matter that this is one of the best
castor bean producing countries in
the United States. l find that sew
eral years ago there were a great
number of these beans grown In this
country but because of the low price
paid for them at that time the far.
mers quit growing them. But now
the oil obtained from these beans has
increased greatly in price and the de-
mand for the same shown a great in.
crease.
81 took the matter up with the ag-
ricultural men at Saltwater last week
and they tell me that there are no
seed to be found in this country and
that they will have to be shipped
from India. Just what it will cost to
ship the seed here l am not able to
say at this time. Bpt we are going
to make further Investigations and
try to find enough seed here if pos
sible to start the industry in this
county" said Mr. Cooper
Because of the increase in the de-
mand for the oil and the price of it
am satisfied that this can be made
a paying proposition and may devel.
op into a great industry"

the audience deserves a privilege Of
