PEANUTS MAKE GOOD PROFIT

BY far the largest part OF the crop
is consumed from the peanut stand,

while the vines, often cured as hay,

even old mother earth is nourished

The result of all this Is, that scien-

A naturally turbulent Latin-American
republic, mainly Indian in blood, pays
coupons on its government bonds to
citizens Of 81 nations. That is the
number of countries represented last
year. In 1907, coupons On Mexican
government bonds were redeemed for

the Mexican nation has given bonds
to keep the peace by selling govern

AFAIR APRON" MAKES A HIT
Designed by Clever Young Woman
Who Found No Further Space
for Table at Fair.

The Fair Apron" it is called by the
clever young woman who is its origin
ator. There being no further space for
a table at the church fair in which she
was anxious to help, she conceived
the idea of making a big. stout apron
of denim, with plenty of spacious peck
cts, and going around with it, selling
small toys to the visitors at the ba-
zaar.
No sooner thought than done. The
apron was made of dark green denim,
reached to the knees, and was pro-
vided across the base with three
roomy pockets, made in the deep turn
over of the hem by two straight lines
of stitching. These divided the band
into three divisions, which were trim
med with a triple row of narrow white
braid. Two smaller pockets were
made higher up All Of these pockets
were hastily ornamented by pictures
of Teddy bears, ETC., outlined in thick
white floss. The apron was fastened
around the waist by two stout cords.
which helped support its weight.
So great was the success of this
plan with the children who were toe
small to get near the big tables that

obliged to hang a tray around her
neck to hold the further wares de-
handed of heri

suit represents the proper caper for
street wear and in it's most killing
phases it looks as If it might be made
out of three yards of stuff. A trim,
dinky sort of little jacket, with coat
sleeves fitting all but to the skin and
a single-breasted front, is completed
with a skirt without a gather and with
only two seams-these at the sides.
Mannish materials, too, are being used
for it, and for all the apparent SIM
plicity of such suits they require the
touch of accomplished tailoring.
Many dressy little frocks are in one
piece models, or they may be in two
sections, with the upper part OF the
skirt Stimulating, with a yoke or trim
ming, some basque finish for the
bodice. When the waist and skirt join
perfectly it is impossible to see at
first glance that these frocks are not
In one. Then there is the straight
overskirt still with us, and just now
it is the merest cap, hugging the hips
tightly and finished with the newt
able band the hobble introduced. Be
low the cap, fortunately for grace and
locomotion, there may be a deep kilt
ed founce, which in fine materials
Hutters and waves gracefully with
walking.
But these are the pet extremes of
the hour, and for those who want the
sensible thing pray let me introduce
a few pictures which show styles as
pretty as they are reasonable.
Though designed for misses, the mod
els are appropriate for small women
and the styles are all quite simple
enough for home dressmaking.

fghting ship

vXTASHINGTON.-The fighting ships
w are going on another cruise,
partly 70 rthe sake of the cruise and
partly to advertise the navy and at
tract young men to 1t. Sixteen OF the
b~attIeships will turn their prows away
from the home land and steam of into
the Atlantic. bound on a o of the
European ports.
For months the publicity experts OF
the navy department have been ex-
plotting the voyage for the purpose of
getting young men to recruit. Not all
of them will be chosen to go, but they
all have an equal chance and those
who do not go this time will go the
next time. for 1t is the purpose to
have these cruises every ear to make
the service more attractive to young
Americans and cause them to enlist
in such numbers as are required for
the proper manning Of the fighting
ships.
The ships that win go are the Con-
necticut. Michigan, Delaware, North
Dakota, Georgia, Nebraska, Rhode Is
land. Virginia, Louisiana, South Caro-
lima. Kansas, New Hampshire, Mime
sofa. Vermont, Mississippi and Idaho.
There will be a 1otilla Of destroyers,
the auxiliary cruiser Dixie. the gun
boat Yankton, the hospital ship So
lace and the supply ship Culgoa.
Many Of the young men who will
take their first long voyage on the
cruise are on the feet as a direct re-
suit OF up-to-date advertising Of the

ashamed to advertise and does it well.

Dry Farming in Texas.


Texas has suffered considerably this
year from drought. If all the farmers
OF Texas had understood the funda.
mental principles of agriculture which
have been enunciated and clarified
and p~opularized by the development
Of dry farming, they would have spon-
taneously put these principles in modi-
fed form into practise this year to
their individual benefit and the gen.
eral welfare.
Besides there are thousands of
acres in the state of Texas which are
now idle and unproductive that could
be made to yield a good g to
the individual and to the state If cor
rect methods were pursued.

for the floor to sag at the ends-it
makes a perfectly tight joint. The
siding is one foot whitewood boards;
the entire height of the ends Is bat
tened. but only the upper half of the
sides; the lower half Is sawed to make
about four-inch siding, thus leaving an
air space for the corr which is on the
first floor. At one end is a double
doorway, seven feet. The second floor
is used entirely for small grain. There
are II bins. six on one side, five on
the other, each being Az by Az feet,
5h feet high, and holding about 100
bushels. The larger part of the floor
can also be used for grain, and there
is a grain chute in the center. At n
end is an elevator raised and low,
cred by means of a windlass. 1t Is
simply a section Of flooring with a
rope attached at each corner; these in
turn ara attached to two ropes which
pass over the windlass. This is rath-
er tedious. and most of the grain is
carried up the stairs, which are in
one corner. There Is a landing part
way up. the stairs are wide and the
incline easy of ascent. sc this method
is not so bad, yet a great convenience;
In fact this is about the only feature
Of the building In which we would
care TO make a change. This floor is
well lighted by two good-sized win
dows, one at each end.
The grain chutes to the first floor
can perhaps be better understood by
the diagram, A. detachable portion;
B. curved end of iron which hooks
into staple and holds A In place; C.,
piece of board to prevent grain from
leaking out at the sides; D, lever

bottom of A. on which to hang grain
bags. When cleaning owe grain, in
stead of the wooden chute, I have can
vas ones which can be twisted in any
direction to reach the top of the fan
ming mill.
There are on the first floor two
corn bins, four feet wide, one running
the entire side, the other mot quite as
long. as some of the stair space comes
out of It. Beside the tanning above
mentioned is a feed mill, run by a gas
oline engine, of which l will speak
later. | have a small box holding 10
or IL bushels; this being on rollers
can be moved about. SO it is not neces-
sary to draw from the bin every time
the stock is fed. There is also q large
box holding about rs bushels for
ground feed. When loading and I'M
loading grain from the wagon, we use
a scoop-board 20 inches bys4h feet;
this makes a bridge wide enough for
the grain-barrow, and thus facilitates
unloading. The i've horsepower gaso-
line engine we have had two years,
and it is certainly a valuable adjunct
to the farm. We use 1t for buzzfng
wood, but it was principally for she'll
ing corr and grinding fed that / pur-
chased it. Before that we used a pow
err recurring two teams and two men
to drive them, though q good driver
could manage both. We have a sta
tionary iron roof for It, and sides and
ends which can be taken on, thus pro-
tecting the machinery from storms.
The picture also shows the construc-
ton Of the steps into the granary. !

Novel Tunlc Effect.

A pretty idea for the finishing Of
a tunic, especially one Of yelling or
other soft material, is to slash the
tunic in front, like an overskirt. and
knot it loosely at each side, drawing
it away so as to show a great part
of the underskirt up to the knees.
The knots are made about half way
from the ankles and the tunic falls
loosely below them. Of course, it is
caught with a few stitches in back.

Hat Trimmings.

Flowers are no more to be seen on
the best Paris hats; feathers have
entirely taken their place. Black and
white ostrich plumes are first in IA
yor. especially in the willow curl.
Paradise aigrettes In the same

risienne, though fortunately most OF
our really well-dressed ome refuse
to wear feathers that are obtained at
the cost of so much slaughter.

Good Collar o

This new device consists OF q tape
pocket into which fits an ivory bone
that slips out when the collar Is
washed. The tape is sewn into the
collar, and as It is turned over at
either end 1t prevents the bone from
digging into the neck. When once adj
justed the boning of the collar gives
no more trouble, q II. is only the
worries in and out. The widtu OF the
tape is little over a quarter OF an inch,
so that is is only slightly perceptible
through the collar. Sizes vary from
