Has Good Peanut Crop

j. ?. Posey. who has a farm
about six miles west OF Slaton,
has about ten acres in peanuts
this year that are looking fine
and they grew right along dur.
ing the recent dry spell without
showing any signs OF suffering
for moisture. A Slatonite re-
porter looked over the field one
day last week and was agreeably
surprised 10 note the thrifty
growth and the thorough culu-
walton.
Enquiry was not made as to
what the variety was. but the
growth indicated the Spanish
plant with a mixed lot of larger
nuts. thus the field is not entire
ly uniform; however this is ac-
counted for in the seed selection
and cannot be attributed TO the
soil. Also the stand is not per-
feet. which no doubt is the re-
suit of the ground squirrels TAX
ing the seed out of the ground
soon after planting. This can
be overcome bv using care in
the selection of seed and sprink-
ling the nuts with kerosine Just
prior to planting, then the SPUR
rels will not bother them. Pea
nuts ought always to be planted
with the hull on as the nuts will
not terminate a healthy plant if
the outer skin is broken. Not
witnstanding the fact that the
Posey field shows the lack of
seed grading and the stand is
not extra good the indications at
this time are that the yield will
be heavy.
Peanuts have already been
proven to be drought resistant
crop on the South Plains and
the yield as certain as anything
that can be planted. The result
Of this years planting is being
watched with much interest. =

ARMIES CAMPED
 IN CONNECTICUT

Maneuvers' Headquarters, Stamford, Conn, August 1o-The camp fires of two armies are burning tonight in the fields of the Housatonic valley. In the woods between the two forces are the pickets keeping watch. Under their shelter tents nearly 1S000 men are sleeping, most of them tired out from the first days ex- perience in reaching camps from which the Connecticut camp mansuvers started in real earnest.
 In theory of the whole scheme this was an anxious day for Connecticut people. The Red" army of invasion passed through New Haven with its left wing, ane established a base of supplies at Derby, 10 miles north of here, and pushed its right wing further north through Sey- mour, going into camp in Oxford. This forward movement of the Reds today was actual.
 The Blue" army which is on its way from New York to oppose the invaders. also landed forces consisting of a bri- gade of infantry and a regiment of engi- neers in Bridgeport and some of these were thrown across the Housatonic, seiz- ing Washington bridge and the big rail- road drawbrdge, pushing on to Wood mont not far from Tyler City, the
 beu DiNoudC.
 Active as the 'Reds' have been to move towards advantageous positions, the Blue" army has been marching with dispatch and was pouring into the coun- tryside from the direction of New York city.
 Concentration proceeded rapidly In the entire theatre of this mimic war, that of the Reds" being directed from the headquarters of it's commander, Brig Gen. Frederick smith, United States army, and that of the defenders from the quarters of Brig. Gen. A. l.. Mills. United States army. Outpost duty com menced at o'clock tonight when the war game actually opened.
 There was no flying by the aviators today, owing to unfavorable conditions, and none will be attempted until at mospheric conditions are favorable. This may delay until Monday or later the trip of the hydroaeroplane from Marblehead.

CONSTIPATION IS A
 MENACE IN SUMMER
Regularity of Bowels Very Im- portant to Health at This
 Time

At no time should people more close ly watch the condition of their bowels than during hot weather. Summer con- ditions contribute in various ways to cause constipation, but whatever the cause the trouble should be quickly corrected; constipation, if neglected, leads directly to serious and often fatal disease.
 Some people find that certain fruits have laxative effect. but this cannot be depended upon; d mild laxative tonic that will act gently and positively, without gripping or shock to the sys- tenn, is far preferable. The compound of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is highly recommended as being easy and natural in action, pleasant to the taste, and certain in it's effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at night will restore normal action in the morning, carrying off the heaviness and bloat. Salts, purgative waters and cathartics should be avoided, as they upset the entire system and afford at best but tenn porary relief. By cleansing the bowels and removing the foreign matter that spoonful of Syrup Pepsin will quickly check the summer diarrhoea that is so weakening. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin is sold by druggists for fifty cents a bottle. the larger. family size costing one dollar. < freo trial bottle can be obtained. postpaid. by writing to Dr. ". B.

NEBRASKA NOT
 BADLY INJURED

Boston, August 10.-Whlle no official in- formation had been received it was said at the Charlestown navy yard tonight that the battleship Nebraska. which struck an uncharted shoal off Point Ju- dith yesterday, was headed for Rockport. This inference was drawn from private messages picked up by the wireless oper- ator at Charlestown. It is believed the vessel is not so badly injured or she would have been ordered to Charlestown for repairs. Captain Coffman, commandant of the navy yard, said he had received no notice from the Nebraska that she intended to come to the yard or desired to go into dry dock. When last reported late this afternoon the Nebraska and her conveys were south of Cape Cod and proceeding at slow speed. During the day the navy yard operators were in com munication with the conveying warships but received no report as to the serious ness of the Nebraska's accident. At tempts to pick up the vessels tonight proved unsuccessful.

BRYAN WILL NOT
 FOLLOW ROOSEVELT

New York. August 1o.-William J. Bryan is not going to follow the trail of Colonel Roosevelt around the country in the coming presidential campaign as has been planned. This practically was de- eided at meeting of the subcommittee on speakers of the democratic national campaign committee this afternoon.
 Sometime ago it was suggested 1t would be good idea to have MT. Bryan follow the colonel in the latter's campaign trips and answer his speeches. Today it was decided to map out an entirely different itinerary for the Nebrashan.
 There was a meeting tonight of the or ganization committee of wnich Senator Gore is chairman. It had bsen planned to place Joseph E. Davies, secretary of the national committee, in charge of the Chi- cago headquarters. Now tho plan is to have Mr. Davies divide his Sine between New York and Chicago. Charles Boesch- enstein, national committeeman for Illi- nois, will be the active manager at Chi cago.

COLONEL SAYS NEW

 For more than 40 years the eX-President said, sporadic reform movements have sprung up. many of them in the west. He cited Bryans campaign of 1896 and the populist movement as examples. Most of them, he continued. had contained something good but were coupled with duack remedies worse than the disease they were supposed 10 cure. The good points of them all, he said, had been gathered together in the progressive par tvs policies.
 The progressive party's stand on the tariff, Colonel Roosevelt believes, will be q source of great strength. Some ono had expressed it well, he said, by telling him that the republican tariff was 'ta- riff tor privilege" and the democratic tariff tariff for destruction' but that no party before had ever stood for tariff for labor. It is his belief that when the stand of the progressive party is LlOTOtBn1V uHutISlDOu IL VIII VIII hiah9 votes from both of the old parties.

 MT. Roosevelt said he had refused to give southern negroes a voice in the Northern delegates who sym pathized with the clamoring negroes told the colonel he was unfair. he said, and that they would not abide by his decision.
 MT. Roosevelt said he immediately an- alyzed the attitude of .he negro delegates ir the republican convention. He then declared that if the protestants wanted to create such conditions in he progressive party of animus they must do it without him. His ultimatum, he said, was con-

Notes OF the Fire


Among the losses was large group
picture of A. q. Warner Post, G., A.
r., taken in 1890. Many of the men
In the picture have died and eonse-
quently the picture can never be re-
placed. Ii was gift TO the post from
the late Major Beebe Of Thompson. Ii
is said that 81 900 had been refused for
Ii.
All citizens of Putnam unite in ex-
pressing their appreciation for the
prompt response of the Danielson aud
Webster firemen and recognize their
efficient work.
There were lot of tired and sleepy
, citizens Friday morning. Most of
them remained up until a. m,
The mothers and their newly-bor
babies that we're driven from their
homes suffered no i'll effects from their
trying experience.
There were number Of small explo-
sions during the fire but nothing Sc
rious.
The flagpole was one of the last
Kings to catch fire and the little streak
of light high above the fire was notic-
ed particularly by all.
Now that II is over we may be
thankful it was no worse, as a great
danger threatened but was averted by
good work of the iiremen.
The electric light service being out OF
commission the news was sent TO the
morning papers from this office by
never-failing candle light.
That no one was injured nor any loss
of life occurred are other things to be
thankful for.
Many possible clews have been run
TO earth by the police but there is no
present prospect of any arrests. The
city Is being carefully guarded aud
private citizens are employing watch
ers, so IL Is safer TO stay on the high
way at present.
The relief fund now amounts to $2S5
and subscriptions are coming In. The
committee are DESTROYS of raising at
least 5000 as that amount will be neces-
sary TO meet the actual requirements
Of the situation.
Insurance adjusters have been busy
this week settling losses.
The operators In the local central of
flee of the telephone company are be-
ing praised for the highly efficient ser
vice given during the big fire, period
when the Office was deluged with calls.
The newspapermen especially are
thankful for the high class service that
was furnished them, enabling the
press to secure comprehensive stories
of the fire for morning papers.
The pictures of the lire are made
from photographs by Fred Wells of
Putnam.

Coming Changes in the State Jndiciar,

The question Of iudgeships is being
discussed considerably by the legal
fraternity. Judge Milton >. Shum-
way OF Danielson, Is mentioned as a
possible one To be elevated TO the SUI
preme court bench.
Chief Justice f. b. Hail of Bridge
port will retire from the supreme
court bench in February by reason OF
the age limit, and there Is no little
speculation as TO who will be elevated
from The superior court to the yacan-
cy. Justice Samuel d. Prentice will
undoubtedly be the succeeding chief
justice, and for the vacancy In the
court Judge William :. Case of Hart
ford, Judge Milton =. Shumway OF
KillingIy, and Judge Howard j Cur.
It's OF Stratford are prominently men,
toned.
1T is the expressed opinion Of many
that two OF the three vacancies to oc-
eur soon on the superior court bench
will be filled by the appointment OF
Joseph r. futile of Hartford and Ed
win >. Thomas Of New Haven.
Judge Ralph Wheeler Of New Lon
don and Judge Marcus II Holcomb OF
Southingtou will retire from the supe-
rior court by reason OF the age limit
and the third vacancy comes, AS noted,
from the elevation Of a superior court
Judge to the supreme bench. The
third appointment 10 the superior
bench will probably fail 10 a republic
can.
