Peanut as a "ClNllizer.r

The peanut seems to be playing the
part Of 'civilizer" In some OF the colo
NAL districts OF Africa. Traders give
q negro bushel of nuts for seed on
condition that he returns four bushels
from his crop, and since the yield in
good years is twenty fold. the black
man generally has q surplus that he
can sell at the rate of shilling a
bushel. From q single station in
Senegambia there were shipped in one
year 10000 tons. Small boys and SCI
entists have long been in agreement
as to the value Of the peanut; now
statesmen also will have to do 1t
honor, since 1t seems likely to lead
the native African into the paths of
agriculture.

sent three thoughts on the subject Of

United States:
The proposed monuments along
the Canadian border would testify to
merits OF the living and the worth OF
tie dead Of a century ago; that these
monuments would give the lie to the
thought that man must have to be
strong and that the two nations would
IN the days ~ come set before the
world a higher ideal than the ideal
