Farmers viii Raise
Cattle Scientifically
Nebraskans Pledge to Follow In
structions in Effort to Cut
Cost of Living.

LINCOLN, NEBR., July 5.-To DO
their part in reducing the high cost
Of living 200 Nebraska farmers have
pledged themselves to devote their
time, talents and energies TO increas-
ing the production Of beef cattle and
to follow the instructions Of the uni
versity experiment station. which has
for several years made a special study
Of raising cattle for beef by what it
believes to be the best methods.
"The fact that the population Q.
the country is increa sing at an aver
age Of 20 per cent every ten years,
while beef cattle are decreasing Z per
cent has aroused the nation to a real
ization that the high cost Of living
can never be lowered until this state
Of affairs is mended. and that the
farmers are responsible for the work
is just as apparent as that the pres
ent conditions exist" said Dean Bur
nett, addressing the farmers.

Albany Woman Busy
Working 40 Flows

AMERECUS, GA, July 5.-There is
no better farmer in Sumter County
than Mrs. Mary Clay, who has direct
supervision of her estate near Ameri-
Gus, where, on a plantation that in
cludes several thousand acres, she
supervises the work thoroughly and
would not give it up, though she has
a splendid home in Americus in add
ton to the old colonial residence on
her country estate.
Mrs. Clay has two agents directly
in charge of the work on her planta-
ton. but she is always in touch with
the work. There is hardly a day in
the year that she does not visit her
estate from her residence here, and
on these trips she gives directions for
the management of the farm work
sometimes spending several days at
her country home. which is fitted with
every modern convenience and as
comfortable as her home in the city.
Since the death of her husband,
Cliff Clay. who was widely known
throughout this section, Mrs. Clay has
had charge Of the supervision of her
farm, having performed these duties
now for many years most successfully
and profitably She very much pre-
fers managing her own estate to
leaving IL for someone else, and she
has no idea now of disposing of it.

HOme-BuilderS Busy
In Sumter County

AMERICUS. GA. July 5.-From
the record of building permits kept
by the municipal government it has
been learned that this is the busiest
summer ever known in Americas in
the construction of homes and other
buildings Contractors here are una
bic to supply the demands of those
who wish construction work done
and a number of builders have post
poned giving out their contracts I'M
til the contractors are able to de-
vote time to them.
The largest number Of buildings
which are going up are residences,
since the need of these has been felt
here keenly for years The eXcep-
tionally large number of residences
and apartment houses being built Is
accounted for by the fact that until
the adequate and modern water and
sewer systems were enlarged, the
construction of homes was very much
DELAYED Now the builders are max
ing up for lost time by crowding and
overworking the contractors.
It is the purpose of those who
own real estate and are in position
to build houses to construct a sutfl-
Gent number of attractive homes 50
that it can not be said of Americas
that people were compelled to leave
the city on account of their inability
to secure homes. The building move
ment in progress here bids fair to
produce results that win make Amer
icus a city where homes are as nu-
merous as the demand for them IS
strong.

Peanut Shortage Coming;
Chance for Georgia Farms
High Prices Now Paid for "Goobers" May Make
Them Good Money Crop.

Although peanut raising has ad-
vanced greatly in recent years. the
demand for peanuts has increas ed
even faster, and dealers say that there
is danger of a complete exhaustion of
the present supply before this years
crop is harvested. In other years,
when the domestic crop has been
short, peanuts have been imported
from Spain. Recent cable advices,
however, have been to the effect that
Spain has no peanuts to export this
year
Spanish peanuts now sell at whole
sale for 10 IA cents a pound, and Vir-
ginia peanuts at cents a pound.
These are higher prices than have
ever been known before. Last fall
Spanish peanuts went above Ga
cents, and other varieties above IL
cents, these figures causing New York
operators to assert that the prices
were too high, and that a sharp de-
cline was bound TO follow Another
years showing of the vast increase in
the consumption Of peanuts in this
country. however, has made it appar-
ent that the peanut is destined to be-
come one Of the great staples Of the
country.
Leading dealers have recently been
exploring areas adapted to peanut cul-

ture, and urging farmers to set ont
peanut crops. The probability of an
oEerproduction at any time appears to
be very small
The nuts can be raised successfully
in parts of New Jersey, and farmers
there are taking a lively interest IN
the subject.
The peanut is easily cultivated. and
singularly free from disease and in
sect pests. There are production rec
ords or zoo bushels an acre Of the
spanish variety while the general
output from Virginia averages from
20 to 80 bushels an acre. The Vir-
GINA peanut is the better of the two
Georgia farmers very probably
would find profit in raising peanuts
for market, in the opinion of the State
Commissioner of Agriculture.
The last census report showed
Georgla's crop for a year as 1853. 1877
bushels, raised on 160,3I7 acres.
Brooas county led, with an estimated
800, 6S5 bushels. Thomas, Decatur

also planted extensively in peanuts
These peanuts are not grown for
market, but for fattening hogs. The
hogs are allowed TO root in the fields
for the nuts, after the vines have been
cut off for the valuable hay.
The estimated average Weld is %
bushels an acre, 25 pounds to the
oushel. At price of 6 cents a pound
a farmer could get $3.50 per acre for
the nuts, besides raising a good crop

QU|ETUS
IS PUT ON
RACE BILL

Indianapolis, Ind. March 17.--One of
the bills refused by the governor I'M
der the rule which provides that bills
passed the last two days OF the ses-
sion may be refused by the executive,
was the racing commission bill which
was intended to repeal the anti betting
laws Of Indiana and create a racing
commission which would have power
exclusive in the state over racing meets
and race track conduct where the rae
ing associa ton chose to come under
the benefits of the proposed law
While the bill proposed expressly to
repeal all laws in conflict with it, and
while II expressly statd that the racing
commission would have exclusive
power to make rules and regulations
for racing IN the state. It did not re-
auire that racing associations submit
their meets and affairs TO the rules
and regulationst of the commission.
Having destroyed the anti-betting
laws the proposed law would have
left it optional entirely with the bet
tiers whether they desired to operate
under the commission or "go it alone"
at their own sweet bent.
The bill was accepted as a Porter
county product and as it first was Of
fered carried provision permitting
betting by the Paris mutuel system.

This marks the "farthest south" trip

gone as far as the coke ovens slip at
18th street, but Capt. Miller took this
craft nearly a mile farther south. In
doing this he has made an important
demonstration and one which ought to
be productive of good results. He has

ELGIN NOW
CLAIMS PLANT

Continued from Pare one,
to look over the three sites selected
by the Elgin bodies upon which options
have been secured.
The Elgin News OF Saturday says:
There are more than two dozen cities
seeking this plant which will consist
OF ten buildings. 1000 feet long by 200
feet wide. The company will have it's
own switching facilities and will be ca
commodated by two railroads. 1t will
use 1900 gallons of water day and
will employ, 1t Is said. from two to
three times as manysmen as the watch
factory after IT gets into full opera
ton. 1t will start with a force OF a.
500 men
The communication issued today by
Secretary f. d. Howell. which states
the prospects as he sees them, is as
follows:
Both of Elgin's commercial organ
izations are making strenuous efforts
to secure this big industry. When Mr..
Manville and Mr.. Younglove arrive
here next week they will be taken In
tow by a joint committee of both local
commercial organizations.

Who is the prettiest college girl in the country? This sort of Helen of Troy question is not asked to create a war over the beauties of the cap and gown world. It is merely set forth here as an introduction to the statement that Miss Maud Min ahan has been voted the pret- tiest girl of Wellesley.
 It's now up to the woman colleges to get busy and see if they have any students who can carry off the beauty prize from Wellesley. Miss Minahan is a New York City girl and so pretty and popular at her col fege that her friends gave her a big majority in the voting contest.
