Americans consume more than six mil
lion bushels OF homegrown peanuts an
nually at a cost of over $14,O00,OO0. and
one cannot wonder at these big figures
after an investigation here in the very
heart of the peanut industry-the largest
market In the world for the most valua-
BILE nut which grows in the earth. Viz
gfnia has other large peanut factories at
Norfolk, Smithfeld Wakefield, Franklin,
Waverly and Petersburg. but none Of these
do a business as large as that of Suffolk.
1t is an interesting fact that the pea
nut-almost universally known In the south
as the "goober" and ''pinder'-did not
come prominently before the American
peo1 e until after the trying days Of the
civil war, during which period the boys
who wore the blue and the boys who
wore the gray found that the peanut sec
tons Of the southern states furnished
most satisfactory camping place for those
who were short Of rations. 1t was then that
the hungry soldiers made meals of the pea
nut and felt thankful that such funger-sat-
isfying nuts could be obtained by little
"fora ging." From these troublous and
trying days until the present the spread of
the culture of peanuts has been continue

HOW FLAT WHEELS ARE MADE
Tne Process Described by a Retired
Railway Conductor

Flat wheel" srowled the old retired con-
cuctor as the trolley car in which he sat
went humping along at twelve miles an
hour. shaking the passengers uncomfort-
ably at every revolution Of the wheels.
What makes fiat wheels?" asked the man
sitting next to the conductor.
Darn FOOLS" said the conductor OTIS
this wayi If man doesn't know how to
stop his car he makes fiat wheel. On the
steam roads some brakemen f1atten wheel
every time they put on a brake. When the
wheel suddenly stops revolving and the
momentum of the train carries 1t along the
wheel slides along the track and a fiat is
started. Next stop makes it worse, and SO
1t goes until the wheel is no good If a
brakeman knows his business he need never
make fat wheel unless he has to sudden
ly avoid an accident. If he keeps his wheels
turning slowly they don't fatten. Now
these fellows on the trolleys take no care
at all, and every other car In some places
has fiat wheel.

Later, while shorts were covering
and all the outside conditions favored
bun trading, Brown turned about and
began selling August and September
options. This move which brought
values down again about eight points,
was for profit taking and weakened
the market.

Why Women Worry.

If woman is to protect herself from
the rayages of worry and so retain her
youth for a longer period she must come
Into more frequent contact with other
people as her husband does. and read
good books she must relieve the monot-
ony of her duties and the limiting influ,
ence of confinement within four walls
by taking outdoor exerclse-a walk every
day or spin on a bicycle; in short. she
must exercise the body and mind in
healthful manner. and she will find the
bloom of youth and health remain with
her for years after it has faded in other
women of the same age.
The ordinary woman" says cele-
