The ''goober" industry of Norfolk is
unique. Here is little city in Virginia
that has become ihe greatest distri0ut-
ing center Of peanuts in the world. A
peanut is "a pretty small item, but ana
nual crop of something hIe 5,0JJ,OOO
bushels, worth millions O' dollars,
makes pretty big item.
The demand for COOLERS has doubled
within the last five years, and the sup
ply does not yet fl the growing demand.
Few people know the curious uses to
which the goober has been put in trade
quite of late years. No other single
plant raised IN tins country is used in SO
many different ways. The Chinese say
the cocosnnt palm has as many useful
properties rs there are days in the year.
The goober is hot 30 universal as that,
but it has as many valuable qualities as
there are days in the week. The solid
part of the nut is peculiarly nutritive
and supplies fruit and food for many q
family. The vines make fine fodder,
some say as good as clover hay, while
hogs fatten on what is left III the fields
after the crop has been gathered. New

The photographs exhibit air waves in

latter are moving faster than the veloc-
ity Of sound.
In one case where the bullet was NOV
