FARMERS SHOULD PLANT PEANUTS I Profit In Planting For Food As Well as Forage Crops. Farmers in the South have realized more and more the pos sibilities in the humble “goober pea." Peanuts are a profitable crop. More than this, peanuts are a crop that can be depended upon. On land that is too poor to raise good corn, peanuts may be grown in abundance, and at the same time will enrich the soil. Nothing else that farmers raise will survive drought more suc cessfully. Peanuts are also adapted to the rain belt. The food-consuming world is fast coming to a realization of the true food value of peanut butter. All over the country the de mand exists and is constantly in creasing for this most nutritious product. The tendency of the price is upward and there never will be a time when the farmer with a good crop of clean, sound nuts cannot dispose of them and pock et a handsome profit. Still another thing that ap peals to the peanut grower is the high food value of peanut vine hay, which is equal to alfalfa in richness. This hay is feed with excellent results to work horses, milch cows, swine, etc. The famous Smithfield hams of Virginia are the result of a part-peanut diet. Our advice to Southern farm ers is that they grow peanuts— acres of them. The by-product peanut vine hay —will help solve stock feeding problems. The markets await the crop and will pay top prices. It should pay this year to de vote more land and more time to the peanuts. Ma Was Wise. And that reminds us of some thing we haven’t thought of for weeks—a little incident told us by a student, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I was calling on a swell girl," relates this sophomore. “She was all right, believe me, and I respected her a whole lot. But her mother didn’t seem to like me. In spite of the fact that I treated the girl like a perfect lady, her mother was always do ing the busy-chaperone act. Honest, I never touched the girl’s hand except with the greatest formality, and yet the old lady seemed to think she must spy on us as if I was plotting to rob the nest of its brightest bird. Finally I complained to the girl. “ ‘Why is it.’ I said, ‘thatyour mother never trusts us alone to gether?’ “ ‘l’ll tell you, Willie,’ she answered. ‘Mother knows me better than you do!’ ’’ - Lock of Lincoln’s Hair is Sold For $650.

Body Dragged a Mile In Wheel of Train. Huntsville, Ala., April 3. — A young man supposed to be Noble Davis, of Lewisburg, Tenn., was killed by the Memphis special on the Southern Railway today west of Huntsville. The body was caught in a wffieel and dragged more than a mile, parts being scattered along the track. The only mark or paper of identification was a bill made out by a Lewisburg firm to Noble Davis. Savannah Preparing For Days of Spring Festivities. Savannah, Ga., April 4.—Sa vannah proposes to give up a week to enjoyment of the most delightful season of the year for out-of-doors life when the Natio nal Drainage Congress holds its fourth annual sessions in this city April 22-25. An elaborate program has been arranged for the pleasime of the delegates and of thousands of visitors drawn by the cheap rates and the opportunity for a few days of recreation after Lent. A flo ral parade on Thursday, April 23 with the night given up to a masquerade carnival on brilliant ly illuminated thoroughfares, and a day at Tybee Island, Friday, April 24, \vhen the sea-shore season will be formally opened with sports, dancing, concerts and other amusements, will be chief among the features. One Burned to Death. St. Augustine, Fla., April 4. One person is believed to have been burned to death in the firt here yesterday, which destroyed five tourist hotels, the St. John’s county court house and other property valued at approximate ly $750,000. Workmen engaged in clearing away the debris to day found charred bones and what'appeared to be the ash of clothing in the ruins of the Florida House, where the fire originated. It had been supposed that all guests and employes of the hotel escaped. Efforts are being made tonight to establish the identity of the person believed to have been burned. Body Found In The Satilla. Waycross, Ga., April 3.—To day in the Satilla river at Wal tertown the body of an unknown white man was found, so badly decomposed that identification was impossible. At the coroner’s inquest a yerdict declaring that the man met death by unknown violence was returned, being based on what the jurymen took for bloodstain on a cuff and a bullet hole near the heart. Offi cers have had no reports of a missing man and have no infor mation that would show at what point the body was thrown into the river. Showing George Up. | There is nobody like a sister to give you a line on a young man, relates the Detroit’ Free Press. Thus, a girl had just got engaged to a fine, handsome chap, and she said to this man’s sister one day: “Next Thursday is George’s birthday, and I don’t know what to give him. Will you, as his sister, understanding all his tastes as you do— won’t you sug gest some present for him?" “Oh, I hardly know what to suggest," said the sister, care lessly, “but from my knowledge of George, I should say that he’d prefer something that he could pawn easily." Recognition. A contributor to Lippincott’s Magazine tells of an amusing scene recently witnessed in a Cincinnati machine shop on the occasion of the retirement, after a service of thirty years, of a valued and faithful employee. In consideration of his long service, the company had arranged to give him a purse of money, and it fell to the lot of the superin tendent, who was a German, to make the presentation speech. This is how he managed it: “Gustave, you has vorked for dis company over thirty years, yes?" A bow from the recipient of the purse. “Und now you are going to quit, yes?" “Veil, Gustave, der company is so glad of it dot I had been asked to hand you dese hundred dollars."
