Candelilla Plant
Provides Thri q
Industry In Texas

ALPINE, Texas. July 7. - The
Candelilla plant. little known away
from the Mexican border. and grow.
ing wild. is being made the source of
large money returns. The business OF
extracting wax from the plant is *.
panding and now large shipments are
made TO England and other foreign
countries.
The plant. a shrub about four feet
nigh, resembles a weed, and has
never been cultivated to any extent.
The stem is round and waxy, and It
is estimated five tons of the plant
grow to an acre. The yield OF wax is
from 3 to 3h percent. and sells for
about 81 cents a pound.
Factories for refining the wa have
~arge watts of boiling water. The plant
is dumped into the watts, suiphurlc
acid is added. and in time the was
frees itself, rises to the top of the
liquid and is skinned off. Wax read,
fer market is flinty, and is broker
into small pieces and shipped in sacks
1t is used as a base for varnish, III
lers, floor polishes. taking machinl
records n interpreting materials.
When all the wax has been ex
tracted the fiber remaining Is pitche,
from the watts with large forks. al
lowed to dry and then burned a.
fuel under the factory boilers.
As the plant grows VIVID, requiring
no cultivation. the cost of the shrut
Is small. Mexican 1aborers usually
gather 1t. The factories operate the
year round. and the demand for waa
is said to be greater than the supply.
Its manufacture is coming t. be one
of the recognized border Industries.

%-sPUTTERs". PLAYING At
COLUMBIA THIS EVENING

A musical comedy that can never
fail to Sttract attention is the de-
lightful tabloid "Sputters," now play
ing at the Columbia theater. This is
a typical western comedy with the
thrills and laughable situations and
with characters that are both serious
and comic.
The part Of Sputters is taken by
Billy Maine. This actors ability to
stutter on the stage fits him for the
role peculiarly well.
The Harmony -Four sing some
western numbers In the interludes,
and tho other musical numbers are
up to standard.
A feature picture is run along with
the comedy.
