 There are many other uses for the 2,000,000 gallons of castor oil used annually in the United States It is an important element in the manu- fracture of leather substitutes and in the methods of leather preservation Belts treated with castor oil are fiex- ible and will not crack, and the same may be said of shoes and harness. It is used in the manufacture of dye known as Turkey red. It is used also to tighten and soften rubber and to give elasticity to fine varnishes. It has a score of other industrial pur- poses to serve. The American oil market Is protected by the fact that, in point of quality, the oil produced in the United States is not surpassed by the imported product and is often preferred by American manufac- turers.

County and township committees should be ap pointed to handle this question and decide local questions. Every force and organization in the state should be called upon to enter into a great campaign of education to see that the public's sentiment is modelled to make this resolution effective"
 It was also agreed that the plans of the cotton export corporation, should be endorsed and that Arkansas should be asked to subscribe it's quota of 5000 bales toward the organization This corporation is now being formed in South Carolina to cover the entire cotton belt with a capital stock of S10,000,000.
 On the subject of holding, which more directly concerns the present crop than any other question, the con- vention adopted the following:
 Although many growers will find it necessary to sell cotton at once or in the near future to meet pressing obligations, we believe that many growers can hold their cotton for gradual marketing and by doing so

EXPECT CASTOR-OIL OUTPUT TO REMAIN ON NORMAL BASIS

The manufacture of castor oil in the United States received a tremen- the campaign launched by the War the campaign launched by the War dous impetus during the war through Department to secure large supplies of this product for use as an airplane engine lubricant. Peace stopped the abnormal demand for this oil, but as the industry has long been establish ed, it will probably continue on a normal basis in spite of the lessening influence of war on the market, says the United States Department of Ag- riculture.
 The Bureau of Plant Industry, in a publication prepared by one of it's specialists, shows that the demand for castor oil is permanent and likely to become stronger as new problems of fabrication arise. This oil is used exclusively as the lubricant for cer- tain types of airplane motors and was used widely as a general lubri- cant until the development of cheap, high-grade mineral oils replaced it., although it is still used in the tropics upon heavy machinery. Castor oil is often given preference as a lubricant as it retains it's viscosity better un-

 Other features of the convention were:
 That state headquarters should not be expected to furnish representatives, for county unit organization, unless responsible parties guarantee expense of campaign.
 That all cotton be picked as soon as possible at the maturity, ginned promptly, and stored either in a ware house or under shelter.

 That Congress be urged to pass laws prohibiting and abolishing cot ton exchanges.
 That the Arkansas legislature be requested to enact a law prohibiting eottonseed oil companies from owning or operating cotton gins or buying seed cotton in Arkansas.

Good kinds of green feeds for hens in winter, recommended by the Uni ted States Department of Agriculture are sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chop ped alfalfa and clover hay, cabbages and mangel beets. Cabbages may be hung up in the poultry house; the beets are usually split and stuck on a nail on the side wall of the pen about a foot above the floor to keep the feed clean. Keep oyster shells grit, charcoal, and plenty of clean drinking water before the hens all the time

ers Stirs the Nation

Washington, D. c., April 9.--An in.
vestigation of the unauthorized strike
of switchmen and other railroad EN-
ployes was ordered to-day by the
Senate.
Without record vote the Senate
adopted Senator McCormick's resolu-
tion directing the interstate commerce
committee to inquire respecting any
existing strike of interstate railroad
employees not conducted or authorized
by any recognized organization of rail
road employees" and submit report
to the Senate. A favorable report on
the resolution was made to-day by the
Senate expenditures committee.
Supporting his resolution, Senator
Mccormick said the country was con
fronted by a very grave situation
brought about by the failure of the
president to appoint the federal labor
board" authorized under provisions Of
the railroad act. What is needed now,
he said, "in default of the appoint
ment of the board, is to bring the facts
before the public and mobilize public
opinion" There is no other way to
force the men back to work, he de-
clared.

STRIKE AFFECTS NEW YORK.
More Than 1000 Men Were Said to Be
Involved There.

New York. April e.--The northwest
ern section OF the United States was
caught to-day in the backwash of the
wave of unauthorized railroad strikes
emanating from Chicago.
Although there had been ripples of
trouble in Buffalo and other towns in
New York state in the last few days,
the strike descended upon New Jersey
railroad terminals near this city yes
terday without warning Thousands
of commuters, homeward- bound, were
caught in the rush as switchmen in the
Jersey City yards quit and walkouts
occurred in rapid succession on the
lines of the Erie, Pennsylvania, Laeka-
wanna and West Shore railroads.
While more than 1000 men were
said to be involved in this vicinity
alone, railroad officials professed to be
optimistic and declared that freight
and passenger service would be main
tanned though anxiety was expressed
over a threatened strike in. the tubes
under the Hudson river to-day. A
meeting of the employees operating the
tubes was called to Newark TO discuss
the situation.
The strikers have not made public
their reason for leaving their work.
Various railroad officials said they
struck in sympathy with the men in
Chicago and other cities.
Embargoes on freight were in force
to-day. because of the strike in several

FRANCES RESENTMENT
TOWARD GREAT BRITAIN
REACHES HIGH PITCH
AMERICAS ATTITUDE
THAT OF OBSERVER
Will Not Participate Toward Any Ad-
justment of Situation Created by
Entry of French Troops
Into Ruhr.

Washington, d. c., April 9.-Ameri-
cas- attitude toward any adjustment OF
the new situation created by the entry
of French troops into the Ruhr district
of Germany, will continue to be more
that OF an observer than an interested
participant, from what can be learned
in official circles here. 1t is known the
state department was in communica-
tion with London and Italy, as well as
France, up to the time the French
army moved forward from the May
ence bridgehead, and there has been no
indication here of any change in the
position taken more than a week ago
when the state department announced
that this government knew no reason
why German troops should not be sent
into the troubled district if it were
clearly understood they would be with
drawn once order was restored.
While recognizing the seriousness of
the situation created by the independ-
ent action by France, officials here
were not inclined to regard it "as deli
cate" as the British foreign Office indi
Gated last night. 1t was regarded as
one of those situations full of poten-
tial danger, but in which the proba
bility of adjustment was predominant.
All reports have indicated Germany's
to contest the force Of
French arms, and it was pointed out
that there is no reason to assume
France will not adhere to her assur
ences that her forces will be withdrawn
once the German troops have fallen
back to the eastern boundary of the
neutral zone.
An interesting development foreseen
here is the measures that may be TAX
en- to prevent the recurrence of sim
liar action on the part of any of the
allied powers. Since the United States
has no representative on the Rhine
it is not member of the
league of nations and the commander
Of the little American army at CobleDz
will not act without direct orders from
any steps taken by Great
Britain or her allies to effect more
iefinite understanding with France |
must be without direct participation |
if the United States, it was Indicated.
It was assumed, however, that Ambas
ador Wallace would continue the part |

powers.

FRANCE WILL
INSIST ON LET
TER OF TREATY
And the Government at
Paris May Ask Great
Britain What She Thinks
About Continuing the
Entente RelatiOn-Great
Britain's Version of the
Treaty Is Considered Too
Flexible.

Paris, April 9-The British attitud
regarding the French occupation o
Frankfort will cause the opening of {
diplomatic conversation between the
powers of the entente concerning tht
whole subject of action with regard tC
Germany, it was said to-day in officia
circles.
In this conversation the French at.
titude will be, first, on maintenance
of the entente, and, second, on strict
execution of the treaty of Versailles
The French, although declaring them
selves not satisfied with some of the
terms Of the treaty, accepted it as
finally signed and now consider it sort
OF charter as regards relations with
Germany. Great Britain, it is thought
here. considers il rather as a sort of
elastic basis of settlement of Europe
an affairs which is capable of diverse
notifications.
The Cancellation Of these viewpoints
will be the object of the ensuing con
versations, during which France, it is
stated, will probably ask Great Brit
ain whether it stands for execution OF
the treaty.
1t is recalled that articles AZ, 43 and
ID of the Versailles treaty defined ac
tions by Germany which might be re-
garded as calculated to disturb the
peace of the world and it pointed out
that such action by Germany was ac-
,complished when the Reichswehr pene-
trated the Ruhr district.
In provision for such violation Of the
treaty by Germany, Great Britain and
he United States, through their repre-
',entatives in Paris, it is noted, agreed
in separate treaties to support France
against the German menace, but those
treaties, it is recalled in official circles,
ARC thus far dead letter. France. it
is declared here, is thus left alone fac
ing Germany, which is attackingones aft
or another the clauses of the treaty.
THE opinion is expressed in official cir
ces that, while maintenance OF the
entente is the first point on which flu
ture conversation must be based, there
seems to be need rreadiustment of
THE relations of the entente powers.
THE original understanding having been

hy Germany, it was continued during
the war with the view Of winning the
war. but was never adjusted to after
war conditions, which, il * asserted
here. require a more comprehensive
accord
