 Technically il is known as Arachis hypogea, the name indicating the characteristic habit of the plant to mature its fruits underground IL is known under the local names of "goober." "goober pea" "pindar," '" ground pea" and ground nut"
 Properly speaking. the peanut is a pea rather than nut, the term nut having been added on account of it's flavor The small yellow flowers of the plant are born in the little pock ct where the leaves are attached to the stems Its commercial value to the pockets of thc nation for the year 1908 was estimated at S12.000.

temperature. The Spanish peanut will mature in 90 days under the most favorable conditions. but no tC 120 days should be allowed.
 Among the more important uses oi the peanut for human food are tn, following: Salted, peanut brittle peanut butter. peanut meal. salad oils, and as ingredient of peanut and vegetable meats Roasted peanuts are the most popular. but the demand for the salted article is constantly in crcasing.
 In the factories where peanuts are cleaned, shelled and graded ready for the market there is always a perccn- tage of inferior stock that can readily be turned into stock foods. The shells are used for fuel. and the ash result ing therefrom is valuable as d fcrtil- izer. Thus it would seem there is no end to the virtues of Arachis hypo- gea.-Idaho Statesman.

The county executive committee oi
the W. @. Il. U. met at the home of Mrs.
g. f. Watson, Tlonests, Wednesday,
May IL, at IL o'clock a. m. Quite a large
number of officers and superintendents
was present. County President, Mrs. s.
Nj. Sharpe occupied the chair. Arrange
menls were made to hold the county con-
yention about Sept l3, at Endesvor, and
to secure If possible Miss Marie G. Brehm
for the convention speaker. Miss Brehm
Ia noted temperance lecturer of the
Presbyterian church, and is a speaker of
marked ability. Other matters of i'm
portance were attended to, after which
the meeting was adjourned.
The persistent use of the split-log
drag for Improving dirt roads by j. II.
Alcorn, of Cherrytree township, is COM
mencing to bear fruit. He has used the
drag on piece of road west OF Gresham
for the last two or three years in proper
manner and st the right time. His
claims for the drag are that it will give
the people the use of a good road from the
time the frost goes out in the spring OF
the year until the fall rains set in. That
will be one hundred per cent better than
under the present system and at half the
cost OF maintenance, and that the farmers
can work out their road tax little at
time as the road needs it, when the sell
on their farms is too wet to plow, plant or
cultivate. e.-Franklin Spectator.
The state laws regulating the care and
protection of foodstuffs offered for sale by
grocers and butchers are very sensibly
drawn and the pure food department
officials are to be commended in their
determination to join hands with the
health department in enforcing its pro-
visions. Articles intended for human
consumption ought never to be exposed
to dust, much loss TO the contamination
of flies, dogs and cats. As rule our
merchants have been very careful in
these respects and the officers whose duty
1t is to enforce the laws have seldom
found 1t necessary to punish anyone for
violating them. But vigilance should
never be relaxed. Flies are now we'll
known to be notorious disseminstors of
disease germs, and they should be barred
from everything intended for food.
Merchants who are lax in keeping them
off their goods ought not to be patronized
by the public. c.-Titusville Courier.

telegram last Wednesday conveying the
sad intelligence of the death of her
daughter. Miss Vivian Morris, on the
previous day. Four or five years ago the
young lady accepted position as stenog-
rapher with an extensive numbering firm
at Missoula, Montana, and it was while
thus engaged that she was seized with an
attack of appendicitis. She was operated
upon at a hospital near her home, but
without success, as death followed soon
after. When she found that an operation
was imperative she summoned her very
dear friend, Mrs. Wright, of Butte, Mont :,
who is better remembered hero as Miss

Forest county, but before her arrival the
end had come, and Mrs. Wright imme-
diately made preparations to accompany
the body to her fsraway home in Penn.
sylvania, which was reached on Monday
morning of this week, and the funeral
followed Immediately upon the arrival of
the train at President.
Miss Morris, who was aged about 27
years, was young lady OF exceptional
brillsncy, studious and efficient in her
chosen work. Possessed of a charming
disposition and loyeliness of character
beyond the average person, she readily
endeared herself to all, and her friends
were limited only by the circle of her
simultaneously. 1t was indeed sor-
rowful homecoming to her family,
whose first intimation that all was not
going well with her, was the telegram
referred to, and the seriousness of the
shock can only be imagined, and their
great grief is assuaged only by the
knowledge that the sympathy OF their
friends is with them in this peculiarly
sad bereavement. Besides the mother
the deceased is survived by one brother
and three sisters, namely, Ralph b,
Morris, Misses Maude, Grace and Zella,
all at home.

The Butler Times says the news that
the people of Butler had subscribed more
than 100000 to guarantee fund to be
used in backing industrial establish
ments which would locate in the city has
spread throughout the length and the
breadth of the country to such extent that
almost from Maine to California have
come letters from manufacturers who
want location in live wire town and
who are after information as to what
Butler has to offer manufacturers, both
financially and in the way of railroads,
fuel and other facilities. A tip here for
other municipalities surely.
John Dice, residing mile beyond
Starr postoffice, on the road TO Kellett-
vile, was severely injured last Thursday
morning as he was about to begin the
marking out of a cornfield. His horse, a
young animal and quite high-lived, was
hitched TO the marker and in passing
through the bars board was caught
frightening the horse, and as he sprang
forward, Mr.. Dice was thrown in front of
the machine and thence against barb
wire fence where his head which also
came in contact with post, was badly
lacerated and bruised, rendering him un-
conscious, in which condition he re-
mained for nearly "a hours. He was re-
moved to his house by his neghbor,
Benjamin Weller. and DR.. Detar of Kel-
lettville was summoned and rendered the
necessary surgical aid. At last accounts
the patient was doing we'll and able to
leave his bed, feeling no doubt that after
all he escaped luckily.
