AMERICAN PEANUTS

Peanuts are beginning to form an appreciateable and rapidly gorwing item in the foreign com merce of the United States, es- pecially in the import trade.
 Despite the fact that the United State, produces probably F, ,000, GOO bushels of peanuts peanuts per anum, her cXportations have beenin such inconsidera bleQuan- titles that the Bureau of Statis- tics has only recently found it necessary to include peanuts in it's list of articles exported.
 Meantime the imports have also rapidly increased and this article in the year about to end will az gregate nearly $1 ,000, 1000, the inn ports having grown in value from less than $6.00O in the year 1900 to about $5, ,OO, ,0OO in the present year, While exports for the year willapproximate about $3, ,OOO,O GOO
 West Africa and the East In dies are the principal sources of supply of the peanuts entering the international market of the world. The exports of peanuts from the French colony of Sene- gal, on the west coast of Africa, were, in the latestavailable year, more than z3o0,oO0, 1000 pounds; those of British India, a little less than 200, 1000, GOO; Gamdia, on the west coast of Africa, about about 100000, ,000; the Dutch East Ind ies, about 50, ,OOO, ,OOO; while China Japan, Argentina, Spain and the United States also supply com parativly small quanties. f"4

RAP|NG THE PRIMARY
EOW the Insurgents Have DiSowned
Their Own High Priced
Child

Two years 2 the only thing talked
by the 'reform" leaders in his state
was tn" primary. They condemned
tn" old system which had been in
vogue for years, ana insisted that the
political millennium would never come
until a direct statewide primary law
Was enacted.
The people hardened unit" these
leaders. and believed what they said.
Hence a state wide primary law was
enacted. and the people supposed 1t
was to be complied with,
Mcpherson county was the first to
violate the terms and letter and spirit
of the law. There twelve inSur-
gents out Of d total committee of for
ty-Six named the entire delegation to
the state convention. In Stanley coun-
ty less than half the members of the
committee named the delegation. The
same was true in SuIly county. 1t WAS
attempted by the rCfOrmcrs in Grant,
but the attempt was defeated. as it
was also in Faux. In Aurur; county,
the central committee, which is con
trOlled by the insurgents. refused to
call the committee together until after
it was too late to legally call Il cunVon-
ton. The insurgents in Minn"haha
county, which is controlled by the
~stalWarts. tried to induce tn" stalWarts
to violate the law, but the stalwarts
refused and called a convention in
the regular way. Later, after all the
committees had by unanimous Votede-
cided that the primary was too eXpen-
sive, and that the stalwarts had the
county anyway 1t was decided to
abate the primary. In Minnehaha
county, the central committee stood
g. stalWart to II insurgent, which is
about the proportion of the vote in
the county.
1t may seem odd to some people
that the primary should be violated
by the very men who urged its adop-
ton, but the people of the state are
rather getting used to odd things.

BUTTONS.

fined exclusively to Sioux Falls. order
ed 5000 kittredge buttons. They ar
rived about two weeks ago, and went
like hot cakes. An order for 10000
more was then placed and these are
now nearly gone though they cached
Sioux Falls only a few days ago. An
order for another 10, 600 has been
placed. In addition to his the tray
cling men, with whom Senator Kilt
redge is very popular, have ordered
and received some very fine kittredge
buttons, which are to be seen on the
coats of the knights of the grip every
where. Every day makes it more GER
tain that Senator kittredge is a sur,
winner in the fight. 1t is true, how
ever. that every vote counts in the
fight in June and the stalwarts pro-
pose to work for each additional vote
as hard as if they thought it would
be the deciding vote. 1t is the desire
to make a clean sweep of the state
in June.

MTTREDGE WILL help !
The United States May Purchase the
AmuDdSen Vessel Which Made
the Northwest Passage

Since hearing the lecture of the
noted explorer, Captain Amundsen,
there has been aroused a good deal
OF interest in his staunch little craft,
the Gjoa, with which he made the run
Of he northwest passage. The Gjoa
is the first and only vessel to pass
arOund the north coast of North
America, thus finding the Northwest
passage, for which search has been
made for the last four hundred years.
She now lies in Mare Island Navy
yard, and if the plan set IN foot in
this city matcrializcs, she viii never
cave h custody of the United states
government.
Many Americans believe that the
BOAT which made such a gallant trip
through hitherto un"Xplorcd Amori-
can waters. should forever remain in
this country and should be preserved
among tn" valuable historical CollcC-
tons Of this government. The plan
is to have congress- appropriate d sum
Tor the ~purchuS" of the vessel from
Captain Amundsrn and when the PAN
anna canal is completed bring it
around to Washington to be preserved
and placed on exhibition as an nSpir
ing sight and an example of the in
trepid hardihood, that made the voy-
age of the little craft and her brave
commander and crew possible.
On his return to Washington it is
expected that Senator kittrcdge will
introduce a bill in the senate for this
purpose and it is hoped that the plan
will be successful. Besides the inter-
est which all Americans must feel in
the Gjoa, the large number of Nor
wegians who have been adopted into
the United States would be particular
~ Gratitied to hav the vessel remain
here permanently.

THAT BRISTOL LETTER

A numbe of republicans of the
state have desired a copy of the now
famous bristol letter" which enator
kittrcdge reads in all of his speeches
to show that Bristol offered to sell out
his clients for a lump sum- and was
willing to recommend to his clients
the purchase Of Land at a high price
if he got something out of it. 1t was
his letter which defeated the on
iirmation of Bristol because he was a
CRATER. It later developed that tin"
company decided to submit to a
~"hOld-up' of $500 so that Bristol
would not queer the deaf. Senator
kittredgc says that so long as n" is
a member of the judiciary committee
40 man with d record like HriStuls
can be confirmed to any federal office.
The senator has beer particularly
viIlified for the defeat of Bristol.
Eighteen articles as a serial editorial
story have bccn printed on the sub
iect in one Crawford paper alone and
others have done about as well. Read
the Bristol letter, read W the
lines, and then make UP your mind
whether Senator kittredge was right
or wrong. The letter follows

important to the fight in June would
be the control of that convention. AS
county after county has slipped

thoroughly alarmed, and are now
hedging. They say that the control
Of the April convention doesn't
amount TO much after all. Still, they
were so anxious to get it that they
raped the primary in four counties
to get the vote from those counties
a thing which they would hardly
have don. if they had considered the
matter unimportant.

the stalWarts have $50 IL. while the
insurgents have but Al IL. 1t has
been agreed to divide the vote of

WIRE FENCES FOR s
PHONES in THE WEST,

I'm the West and Southwest, where
there are long stretches of unbroken
wire fences, these wires are frequently
used to convey telephone messages from
one point to another said Captain
John G.. Souder. of San Antonio, Tex,
here on business before the depart
ments. '-s go"
I'm some localities the fence wires are
converted into regular telephone lines,
with permanent equipment for practical
use. These lines are often from ten to
thirty miles long and ARE a great conve-
nience to the people of the ranches.
The United States Signal Corps is
we'll trained in the use of wire fences
for telephone purposes. In the military
maneuyres that take place in the ranch
region the Signal Corps plays an i'm
portaTft part in directing the movement
of the troops by improyised telephones.
I'm some localities where the country
is rough or heavily wooded it is impos-
sible to convey the signals from one
point OF another by the usual methods
of flags or other visual signals 1t is
then the telephone is brought into play.
Each detachment of the Signal Corps
men is equipped with a field telephone
attachement. 1t requires the work of
but a minute or two to connect this at
tachment with a fence wire n to get
into direct communication with head
quarters.
THE use of the fence wire for tele-
phone communications obviates the
necessity of constructing temporary
field telephone lines by the Signal
Corps. 1t sometimes happens that a
little difficulty is encountered in using
the wires. on account of some poor con-
nection or break, but it usually does
not AXE long to discover and remove
the cause of the trouble.
On some of the big ranches straight
ines of wire fence fifty to s~eventy-fve
miles long are .frequently~found. These
afford excellent opportunity for military
field service. ~,
AS a matter of necessity all ranch
must be kept in good repair. To
do this. fence riders are constantly en-
ployed."-Washington Post.

USE OF STERLIZED
WATER BY GREEKS.

The ancient Greeks already recon-
mended the use of sterilized water,
Rufus of Ephesus in the first century OF
this era taught that "all water from
rivers and ponds is bad, except that
from the Nile. Water from rivers
which flow through unhealthy soil, stag
nsnt water and that which flows near
public. bathing places is harmful. The
best water is that which has been
boiled in baked earthenware vessels,
cooled and then heated a second time
before drinking"
This hygienic prescription was in
tended both for healthy and sick peo-
pie, since 1t. was applied to the armies.
During marches and in the camps pits
must be dug successfully from the
highest point to the lowest level of the
place. These holes should be lined
with clay such as is Used for making
pottery and the water should be made
TO ~perco,ate through it. The water will
leave all its impurities in these pits
1t may be inquired how the ancient
Greeks, knowing the process of steriliz-
alton and filtration of water which they
applied to hat of h most limpid
rivers, should nave drunk without pre-
cautions the water of the Nile, which
cur microscopes allow us to declare
sound" but which is in appearance
the most worthy of suspicion of all, and
is so muddy, so yellow. that it resem-
bles wine.-@azette des Faux ct Revue
