PEANUT RESTRICTIONS
NO LONGER EXIST.
Sell all Your Peanuts, Buy
More, or Still Hold
Them.
The removal of the restrictions
placed upon the marketing of
peanuts by the federal food ad
ministration, immediately upon
the showing made by the Geor
gia State Bureau of Markets,
leaves the market in that product
wide open to the influence only
of the law of supply ahd demand.
It was promptly recognized by
the food administration that, in
the absence of a stabilized price,
these restrictions should never
have been placed on peanuts at
all.
With the removal of the restric
tions, already announced from
Washington, anyone one can buy
peanuts now without a license,
hold long as they want to and
get all they can for them. The
Federal Reserve Bank has declar
ed that peanuts stored in a repu
table warehouse, are just as good
collateral as cotton.
“While in Washington,” said
Director Jackson, “I ran across a
large manufacturer from Port
land, Me., who makes a crisp from
peanut oil. He was greatly dis
tressed over not being able to buy
any peanut oil, although he stated
he was in the market for ten
tank cars of it and had offered
more than the market pric*, but
found sellers were holding for
still more. The name of this
manufacturer will be furnished
on request.
“If anyone has any doubt about
the peanut meal market being
strong, let him try to contract to
buy some, and he will find out.
“The State Bureau of Markets
renews its advice to market pea
nuts very slowly, and producers
will get a better price for them
than has been prevailing this
Beason.”

loose of armies of workmen and rw-
J«a ft of vast quantities of restricted

machine which was wound up by the
Government will he unwound slowly
ami gradually, without more confu
sion than is. necessary,” said Mr.
Otis, "it is my Impression, gained
at tiie conference, that labor will be
released as it is more needed for pri
vate industry of value to the country,
and that materials will follow the
same course.” Mr. Otis is business
manager for the Atlanta district of
the resources and conversion division
of the war industries board. This is
the big machine built up by the
board some months ago to help to
distribute Government contracts by
keeping the Government informed of
the ability of plums In the South to
handle such war contracts. It em
brace* in Its organization a great
part of the manufacturing interests of
Georgia, Florida and the two Caro
llnas, and It has been exceedingly
busy since organization.

down a decision reversing a recent
ruling of Judge W. T. Newman, of
the l/nlted States District Court, and
holding that automobiles or other ve
hicles snd nil equipment used in the
transportation nmi sale of blockade
whi key are subject to forfeiture. The
decision was concurred in by Justices
Sheppard and Batts, Justice Walker

Flag Would Carry 90,000 Service Stara
Atlanta—That the state of Georgia
has sent to the national army a total
of 90,000 men Is shown by Major Mal
let, selective service officer for Geor
gia. It Is shown that 66,899 men were
lurnished through the selective serv
ice system and that there were 17,-
473 voluntary enlistments up to March
30, 1918, making a total of 84,372. It
is estimated ttiat since March 30 there
have been 6,000 voluntary enlistments,
which would bring the enlistments to
approximately 23,473, or about 26 per
cent of the total. The figures show
that Atlanta has furnished 4,773 men
ihrough the selective service system
and that 3,117 men voluntarily enlist
ed up to March 30, making a total of
7,890 furnished, not including enlist
ments since March 30, which, accord
ing to ths estimation for the entire
slate for that period of 6,000, would
add about 1,000 to Atlanta's total, mak
ing a grand total for the seven board
districts in the city of 8,890 men. Ful
ton county outside of Atlanta furnish
