The Peanut Industry.

The laetst thing in the way of trusts
is peanut combine. Very few peo-
pie realize the extent Of the industry.
The value of the crop is between S5,-
100000 and $4,000, 600 annually, and
about $1,000, 900 is invested in clean
ing establishments. Four of them are
located at Norfolk. eight at Richmond,
Petersburg, Danville and other places
in Virginia; three at Cincinnati, two
at St. Louis and three others in differ
ent Earts OF the Southwest. The largest
establishment belongs to Gwaltney &
Bunk.ey, at Smithield, Va, where
they handle about twenty-five per cent.
of the entire peanut crop of the United
States. All of the seventeen other
concerns have agreed to combine their
interests so as to control the product
and increase prices and profits, which,
through competition, are now very
low

Color in War.

The colors of military uniforms have
been subjected to practical tests in
Germany. 1t was found that light
gray was the color first lost to sight;
then most Unexpectedly came scarlet.
Dark gray, blue and green followed in
the order given. In target practice
scarlet proved the most difficult to
hit. The "thin red line of heroes" is
thus practically vindicated. 1t is
found that under the violet tinge of
the electric light green is the best
color to escape detection, which gives
a suggestion for naval men, whose
ships are to be exposed to the search
lights of the enemy.

The Significance of the Average Life.

I see the average life going its way, not as
soldier to the excitements OF q battlefield,
but as plain man to his field OF common.
place duties, ms a plowman In his low and
level field walks the furrow OF his dailytask.
see from end to end OF this plain duty the
God OF the valleys steadying the plow-
mans hand to keep his furrow3 true. And,
then, some day. know rot when, but
some day soon for ALL see this average life
called to 20 up out OF the level OF ita
routine to the solemn exiSencies OF expert"
ence; up to the misty region Of solitude On
trial, where 1t is hard for any life TO find the
way alone. And then see the significance
Of the average life. It was the time to cul.
tivate the habit OF companiorsh!p with God.
God has been God Of the valleys, and
therefore, when the great desire OF the sou!
Is to find the way among those unfamiliar
heights, God is there also. 1t may not be
that the mists are wholly Withdrawn, so that
The way is made perfectly plain. but at leas:
the cloud sweeps back from time to time
end shows ;he path before ones feet; and
the lonely traveller on the heights knows
we'll that the breeze which thus clears bis
way Is nothing less than the kindly breath

IN REVOLT ON TOBACCO GROWING.
Pennsylvania Mennonltes PAY Little At
teution to a General Conference Edict.

The Menuonites and other religious sectss
In PENNSYLVANIA under the jurisdiction Of
the General Conference In Virginia, that
recently declared war against tobacco, are
defiant. They have decided to pay small
heed to the conference order. The result
is that many Mennonites have gone ahead
In their tobacco planting. Those who dc
not wish to 60 too far In their revo are
renting their ground to others who do not
belong to the sects, and tho tobacco cul
ture will 70 on under their supervision
Some renters nre to pny in cash, while
others will accept shares OF the croE
raised.
EThe conference interd.cted the use OF TO
bacco In any for., or the growing OF it oi
manufacturing it, The Eastern Mennon::
ties say this tobacco injustice was forced
on them by tha far Western delegates
where the church is strong, yet the West
ern people Keep up their calls on the East
for money for missions, ETC., and at the
same time take n step to cut off part OF
their income. The tobacco acreage among
the east Pennsylvania scots will be largely
increased.
Tho Menuonites, as general thing, say
they do not see anything harmful In to.
bacco In proper use, and as the Lord made
1t to grow there is no use striking against
the work of tho Lord. But let there Do
moderation in al things.
