work after a varied aa6 extremely
successful business experience.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee. Colo

purpose of eliminating partisan pol
itfcs from city elections and an re-
suit OF which a non-partisan business
administration was established with
candidates elected and reelected on
record. Later Colonel Lindsiey was

municipal affairs that he has been

States. He established highly per-
fected fiscal and budget system which
not only safeguarded the public ex-
penditures but created public inter-
est in and knowledge of municipal
finances.
Nor was his service confined solely
to his own city. He was instrumental
in the passage of the State Banking

POLES FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Legion OF Soldiers Of That Nation
allty Are Cooperating With the
Allies In France.

Napoleon once said of the Polish
army, ut is the best" Almost since
the beginning of the war 1t has been
the ambition of the Poles again to
distinguish themselves In the field, re-
gain their ancient prestige and win
from the world the admission that
their services entltle their nation to
autonomy and Independence.
Russia for political reasons discour-
aged the idea of a distinctive Polish
army both under the rule OF the czar
and under Kerensky. or course under
the bolsheviki the agitation ended. So
the Poles turned to France, which
bade them welcome and In an order
dated June 4, 1917, decreed the crea-
ton Of a distinct Polish legion.
Now the legion, which has grown 80
fast that It is really an army. is about
to take Its place on the battle line,
having been modified In a great camp
named Sille-le-Guillaume near lie
Mans. The uniform Is the same MS
the French, with the exception Of q
distinctive ~headdress. the ''czapka.'
The officers are Frenchmen and Poles
who have served In France.
1t will be news to most Americans
that since the early days OF January
large detachments of well-drilied Poles
have been arriving In France from the
United States. They are the regi
ments which Ignace Paderewskl was

with %sunflowers, the seeds OF which
are valuable both as a source OF oil
and for poultry food.
Small ~cultlvators are also urged by
the government to SOW sugar beets as
an improved food for stock, especially
for pigs. Farmers whose cereal crops
have failed owing to attacks from diff

Instead linseed. The latest report,

"PERSON TO PERSON" RATE

When a person makes a toll call, specifying that
conversation is desired with a particular per-
son and the connection is established and con-
versation held with that person, the person to
person" rate applies.
AS this service requires a greater amount OF
one-fourth greater than the Station to sta
ton" rate.
This person to person rate is computed on
the day rate between the points involved,
whether the call is made during the day or dur
ing the night, and the minimum charge is zoe.
No "person to person" call is accepted where
the "~station to station" rate is less than 15c.

BIG DEMAND FOR CASTOR OIL
Government Has Arranged for Exten'
sive Cultivation Of the Plant
Needed In VA Service.

Among the war booms is one In the
production Of the castor bean, and
the governmen has become q partner
In the Industry Of producing the plant
and extracting the oil. The govern
ment has let contracts for the cultiva-
ton of 100000 acres Of the plant and
nearly all this area contracted for lies
In the South. 10000 acres being In
Florida.
The government has entered this line
Of industry because the demand for
this strange oil has outstripped the
supply, and the price has risen TO a
great height. But 1t was not the high
price OF the article which induced such
action. but the scarcity Of the oil,
which is considered as being essential
to the prosecution of the war. Castor
oil is usually thought of In terms OF
medicine, but its highest value to the
allies In this war is as a lubricant for
engines of maximum power and mini
mum weight, engines whose pistons
work at the greatest possible speed.
For airplane engines 1t is the best lu-
bricant known, and that is what castor
oil is being now largely used for.
The cultivation OF the castor plant,
which was once quite a iourishing in
dustry In several Of the states Of the
West. notably California and Kansas,
and also In some Of the southern states,
languIshed because ~ she competition
of castor beans grown In India and be
cause Of the development of the petro.

Such a charge also applies if the calling party
is absent when the connection is completed
within one hour, or if he refuses to talk.

operating work performed and is usually about
one-fourth of the station to station" rate.
In any case where a report charge" applies,
the minimum charge is 10c and the maximum
