were as real little fairies as one can
imagine. The Queen of the May was

“Battle Cry of Peace”
Proves Picture Play
With Mission
By Louella O. Parsons
The Olympic Theatre stepped into
line last evening, and along with the
Colonial, Studebaker, Fine Arts and
Ziegfetd accepted as its newest tenant
a motion picture. The picture, “The
Battle Crv of Peace,” is a pictorial
propaganda calling to arms defenseless
America. It is a plea against war, not
for war, urging as its battle cry a pre
paredness for war in time of peace.
“The battle Cry of Peace” is a p oto
spectacle with a mission. It was writ
ten and produced by J. Stuart Black
ton, president of the Vitagraph Com
pany, in an effort to wake in every
American a desire to protect his loved
ones. The story, based on Hudson
Maxim’s book, “Defenseless America,”
is educational in its description of sub
marines, aeroplanes, torpedo boats and
other implements of warfare. It com
pares America to other countries and
shows with a clearness the compara
tive size of our army and navy. Hud
son Maxim appears, and by means of
small models illustrates on the screen
the needs of our country.
A love theme accompanies Mr. Max
im’s instructive lecture.
The house rang with cheers when,
during the intermission, Captain Jack
Crawford, a veteran of the civil war,
who fought side by side with his fath
er, appeared and spoke in behalf of
Mr. Hiaekton’s mission.
“Rattle Cry of Peace” will be shown
at the Grand Theater Monday. May
2y. Music will be furnished by Grand
theater orchestra of W'aycross. Ad
mission 25c to all.

FORTUNES FROM PEANUTS
The Coffee county farmer who*
made a net profit of six thousand,
one hundred and fifty acres of pea
nuts presents a striking example of
the opportunities in food crops as
opposed to the all-cotton system, says
the Atlanta Journal in a recent is
s le. The land use! for this purpose
was of only average quality, and the
methods employed were such as are
available to the average planter.
There was nothing magical in the
achievement. It was simply the nat
u al reward of industry and intel
ligence.
A s related in a recent bulletin by
the State Department of Agricul
ture, this farmer, Elisha Lott, spent
three dollars an acre, for seed, one
dollar an acre for preparation, and
fifty cents an acre for planting. In
cluding the cost of cultivation, har -
vesting, land re ital and sther
charges, the total cost of producing
the crop was twenty-six and a half
dollars and eighty cents an acre; so
that the net profit amounted to
f irty-one dollars and thirty cents an
acre. After the vines had been
■ taken up, the field served for ad
ditional profit, as forage for three
J hundred hogs; the hay yielded still
i further income.
The agricultural authorities cal
culate that the fairest profit which
could have been expected from this
tract of one hundred and fifty acres
planted in cotton would have bet n
about four thousand dollars; and
cotton, besides requiring more labor
in cultivation and involving greater
risks, would have left the soil con
siderably poorer. The peanut crop,
on the other hand, was produced
easily and cheaply, and was a source
of soil enrichment. The increasii g
use of peanuts for the manufacture
of oils and other food products
makes the market for this c op evt r
more certain and profitable,
