THE RED CROSS.
Under the very shadow of the cross
of Calvary the ministration of mercy
and help to the wounded and dying
were born. Born there, at that mo.
ment in the heart of a rough Roman
soldier, who when he heard the cry
wrung from the lips of the dying
Christ, “I thirst,”” ran and filled a
sponge with a cooling drink and fixad
it to the head of his soldier's specar
and held it up to the parched lips of
Jesus. That was the first deed done
under the sign of the Red Cross. That
deed of mercy to the dying Christ
has been multiplied uncounted times
by the influence of the living Christ.
Today on battlefielas and in camps
and hospitals the Red Cross brings
relief from suffering and new hope
cf life. Tt staunches the flowing of
blood and hushes the groans of the
wounded. There are only two things
BOARD RELIEVES 35 MEN OF
SERVICE'IN WORLD STRUGGLE
Follcwing is a list of the 35 men
who have been relieved by the iocal
exemption board of service in the
war against Germany. Thesé were
discharged for one reason or another,
all of them being passed upon sep
arately.
On this list will be found the name
of Johnnie Pate, the first man drawn
frem Crisp. Among the reasons for
his discharge is the fact that he has a
family cf four little fellows. Those
discharged may be recalled at any
time the board deems it wise to
change their decision. Occasionally
a negro gets away and is advised
promptly that it takes five men at
home to provide for cne in the tren
ches. The negro usually agrees to
go to work. The rames follow:

iJOHN LEE WHEELER HAS 18,600
TO 20,000 BUSHEL PROSPECT—
HAS' BETTER VYIELD . THAN
EVER DREAMED OF!
, John Lee Wheeler has an object
lesson for Crisp county farmers in
';mmnus that is going to inspire the
',z;rv:nost confidence in peanut grow
ing, for this leading farmer has ap
proximately 300 acres that will safe
ly uaet a yield of 18,000 to 2(y,000
bushels. It is a crop that in pea
nuts alone will carry a g‘r?)ss value
of at least $27,000. The hay promises
(o ton and a half to the acre and this
at $15.00 per ton (it will bring more)
Ipu!s the gross peanut crop value at
above $30.000.
Mr. Wheeler expects at a safe es
timate 50 bushels of peanuts per acre
on half his farm. On theother half
e is going above 75 bushels. Some
of the best will go 90 to 100 bushels,
He has a beter showing in peanuts,
50 observers say, than the best Ala
bama farmers can show, even with
their yvears of exvperience, Others
adjoining Mr. Wheelerr are likewise
showing better peanut crop# than the
Alabama growers:
Mr. Wheeler has an acreage in
cotton similar to that in peanuts. He
cxpreses himself as fully satisfied
with results in peanut growing, so
far as he can determine at this time,
and believes the peanut crop wiil
forge ahead slightly in value, with
considerably less expense in culti
vating and harvesting. It has cost
a great deal more to make the cotton
crop and there have besn weevil and
hail risks attending the cotton. The
difference in fertilizer used is very
avpreciable,
But the peanuts do not serve them
selves up while you wait. It takes
as much labor to harvest the peanut
as it does to"'make them. Mr. Wheel
er has over a Hundred hands in- the
fields each day gathering his crop
now. The payroll will run up high
this one week, but next it will all be
over, while the thousands of pick
aninnies will be in the white fields of
icotton for sixty days, along with
everybody else whose services can be
marshalled.
The peanut crop on the Wheeler
plantation is large enough to make
it profitable for him to own his own
machinery for picking and cleaning
the nuts and bailing the hay. He has
heen enthusiastic from the start and
has probably given more attention to
ihis new crop than any other far
mer i the county the present season.
He has a fair prospect of at least
$1.50 per bushel for his yield. ..
The gathering of this fine crop has
attracied quite a number of leading
farmers to the place to study the
methods used. The peanut diggers
all fell by the wayside and failed to
work on account of the dense foliage
and closely drilled vines and it takes
a two-horse plow with the wing off
to turn up the vines where the stack
ers can get them and shake out the
dirt. The hundred or more negroes
in these fields hecome an inspiring
sight to the spectator as they stack
the vines.
