Answers to Queries

QUOTATIONS-M E. s., Berkeley,
Cal. When the market reports quote
wheat at $1.65 to s1.70, does that mean
that the. producer is paid that much
for his wheat? And as to quotation
about eggs. ~
It means that that is what the wheat
brings per Genital or 100 pounds in the
market. The producer will receive the
price quoted If he himself sells and
makes delivery. If not. the producer
has TO pay the commission. The same
rule applies to all products.

PROFIT IN PEANUTS.
Remarkable Development Of Industry
In Southwest Texas. Peanut

San Antonio. Texas, Sept 3.-Four
thousand acres In peanuts in one
neighborhood namely Rock Is.
land, In Colorado County, gives
some idea of the immense
preparations now being made in
San Antonio arranging for the mark
citing of this great crop of peanuts.
He says that the peanuts have yield
ing on an average OF 40 bushels 10 the
acre. and that he has practically
closed deal with a local peanut fac
tory for the sale of 10000 bushels at
an average price of sixty cents bush.
el The land used in raising these
peanuts. he says, has already produced
a crop of winter vegetables or Irish po-
tatoes, yielding from $50 TO $75 net
and the additional $50 is velvet. lie
says the peanuts have been used even
more probably to fatten hogs and as
cattle feed, but the acreage this year
was so large that the surplus had to
be disposed of.
The remarkable development and
growth OF peanut raising In Southwest
Texas has led the Business Mems club
Of San Antonio TO undertake the dem.
onstration of peanut oil industry.
In this, the Department OF Agriculture
has assisted. and arrangements have
been made for the importation of Az.
rican peanuts, which are said to
yield much larger per cent of oil
These African peanuts win be raised
as an experiment by many farmers in
this section next year, and manufac.
turer in San Antonio will take their
product and make the oil.
According TO a report from Consul
d. |. Murphy of Bordeaux in France,
peanut oil is manufactured there in
great quantities and is esteemed bet.
ter for table use than olive oil. AS
high MS 81 per bushel are paid for the
peanuts. AZ this rate the land here
would yield $50 an acre per year. In
France the peanut oil industry
amounts to several million dollars a
year, and pays the manufacturers
handsome profits, Agricultural ex.
perts are already predicting that in a
few years the lowly goober-pea will

Governor Dickerson has issued the
following proclamation for the observ-
of Thanksgiving: + :
The time hallowed custom of setting
apart one day out of the three hundred
and sixty-five for the Offering up, by a
grateful people, of thanks to Almighty
God for blessings received in the past
and prayers for continuation of those
blessings has become an pnwritten law
of our lind and each succeeding year
finds the custom more deeply, more
reverently intrenched i'll the hearts aud
minds of our people. The time is again
at hanl for the observance Of such
day.
The year now drawing to close has
been marked by storm as we'll as sun
shine. A disastrous financial panic
Nation wide, seriously affected for d
time the prosperity of our State. The
untimely death, last May of our
honored Governor, John Sparks, cast a
pail over our Commonwealth that has
not yet lifted.
Yet have we enjoyed many great
blessings for which devout thanks
should be returned to the Oliver of all
Good. The bitter industrial strife
which, at the beginning of the year,
threatened, for a time, the peace and
tranquility of our State has given place
to mutual understanding and harmony
of action between the contending forces
Industrial peace now reigns within our
borders. Abundant crops have re-
warded the toll of our farmers. Our
mines have poured forth steady
stream Of the precious metals for the
enrichment of our people and the bless
ing of mankind. Our State is con-
stantiy and rapidly growing in popula'
ton and wealth and we have within
our boundaries less of extreme poverty
than any other State in the American
Union.
Lieutenant and Acting Governor of the
State of Nevada, in conformity with
the proclamation of the President of the
United States, do hereby designate as a
day of general thanksgiving Thursday,
twenty sixth of this present November,
and do urge and recommend that
throughout the State the people cease
from their wonted occupations, and at
their several homes and places of wor-
ship reverently thank God for the mani
fold blessings He has bestowed upon us.

NEVADA SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT

The people of South Dakota have Just
taken Il long and IL strong step toward
the eradication of a great and growing
evil in that state-the divorce mill
industry" that has for years past
scandalized the entire country. To the
electorate in the political contest of
November 3 fell the duty of acting on a
referendum in the matter of an act of
the Legislature very materially amend
ing the states divorce law 50 that the
present abuses of the divorce system
would be very largely prevented. The
vote on the question was overwhelm-
ingly in approval of the act AS soon
the CanvaSSing board makes official an
nouncement of the result-early in
December-it will no longer be possible
for discontinued wives and husbands to
go to Sioux Falls, spend six months, get
freedom in a secret hearing and the
right to engage in more marriages.
The new statute is extremely short
only five sections and one hundred and
fifty words in all-but it will wipe a
ioul IIOI llOIl JIG SOOu HdIIlo Oh IL great
state. It's chief provision is the require
ment of one full years's residence in the
state in good faith before divorce
action can be begun there, beside a
residence in the county of not less than
three months preceding the suit. Star
chamber or special session work-long
one of the very worst features of the
system-will be prevented through a
provision that all hearings in divorce
cases, except those relating to alimony
or the granting of interlocutory DEGREES,
must be held at regular terms of court.
Sioux Falls alone will lose by this action
of the people fully 100000 in revenue
from outside divorce litigation. But
the thing is worth Il hundred times the
money sacrifice.
Nevada is now the haven for those
whom the marital bonds gall, and some
OF the recent divorces granted in this
state have been attended by disgraceful
developments. Actors and actresses
Use Nevada as II swapping place, evi.
IDENTIFY believing that variety is the
spice of life, while members of the
smart set who agree to disagree arrange
