One would naturally expect that

en- feeds that they would experience no
serious effects from eating chicken
pie anywhere any time. However, it
. is reported that at the Methodist con

hundred preachers were poisoned from
eating chicken pie at a church supper.

Aberdeen believes in adhering to it's
laws and regulations, even a picture
show man was weighed and found
l wanting, all because he opened a per-
: Torrance on Sunday night at church
time. Still, since there are six nights
I in the week in which he can work his

Z church.-Hetland New Era.

, Coach H. w. Ewing of the State Col
lege, takes exceptions to our statement
in last weeks Register that Mrs. H. D.
: Hill is the only grower of peanuts in
this vicinity. One day this week he
\ took us over to his yard and showed us
the product of his peanut field for this
} year, amounting to a bushel and a
half of nice great big jumbo peanuts.
Mr.. Ewing gathered this much from a
row about a block long, the plants be-
ing set about a foot apart, and with
the exception of two every plant grew
and matured. He tells us that he
grew a very good crop of peanuts last
year, but as he failed to tell the Regis
ter about it he did not get due credit.
Mr.. Ewing says that the plants bear
well in any ordinary season and he
sees no reason why they should not
be generally grown in this part Of the
country.
