MAKING PROFIT IN PEANUTS
Once Despised Edible Is Now lmpor-
tant Source Of Income in South
Excellent for Stock.

Once regarded as symbol OF IN
significance the peanut is now earn
ing a respectable place in the. coun-
try's commerce and agriculture, says
the Atlanta journal, restating long
established fact IN Virginias expert
ence. Millions are invested in plants
for the manufacture Of peanut PROD
ucts, while thousands of acres IN the
South are devoted to the cultivation OF
this excellent crop, A Texas CORE
spondent of the Manufacturers hec-
ord writes that more and more the
Texas farmers are being convinced oil
the value Of the peanut crop, ana are
using it not only to fatten their stock
and enrich their soil. but also as
source OF direct income.
The Texas crop last year brought
an average price of So cents a bushel
and this year, because of general
shortage in the country, it will bring
much more. The average yield OF
peanuts in Texas is from 40 to 80
bushels. and under the best condl-
tions even rs bushels. Taking these
figures as a basis, the Records cor
respondent makes an interesting com
parison between the certain profits OF
the peanut and the uncertain price of
cotton.
at takes about 500 pounds of seed
cotton" he says, TO make third of
a bale, or, say, 100 pounds OF lint.
There is a cost of $5 for packing alone,
and even at Is cents pound for cot
ton on the market, there is but $l5
an acre to recoup the farmer for rent
of land, interest on his investment,
cost of seed, and labor. At present
prices the peanut crop is worth $15
to $40 with modest yield per acre.
Planting and gathering his crop will
cost only few dollars an acre, In
stead of $40 or more for cotton"
1t is also observed that in dry
season, when cotton cannot be made
peanuts flourish. Practical expert
ence in this connection has brought
conviction to many farmers, and they
now devote part of their land to pea
nuts, and fatten stock instead of rely
ing exclusively on cotton" The pea
nut obviously is playing an important
part in crop diversification. 1t is rap
idly growing in popularity throughout

dwellings of the classes whose tasle'

Tyrol, though it is really divided INTO
two distinct regions by the great man
chain of the Alps which has endowed
each half with a climate, a vegetation
and inhabitants as distinct from each
other as possible in a country OF such
diminutive size, We can observe these
variations to better advantage than IN
most other places. Tyrol. which Tor
centuries was the cockpit OF Europe
held a unique position in another re-
spect, for it's two main valleys formed
the chief approaches to the lowest,
easiest, and therefore also Oldest, Of
the great passes over the Alps. Not

traffic that had gradually sprung up.
between the south and the north or
Europe. Hardly fifty years have
ELAPSED since the advent of the rail
ways wrought extraordinary changes.
To thousands of hitherto well-to-do
natives the iron horse brought abject
ruin. for it revolutionized commerce
as well as travel. Scores of thriving
little posting towns that had sprung
nm in the course of centuries along the
great transcontinental Bremen high
way were, with the suddenness or
bolt from the blue, struck lifeless.
These places, at which the so-called
"Schnellzuge" of today do not even
deign to halt for brief minute, and
of which we see but little from the
train, consisted, as a rule, of single
long street in which practically every
house was either an inn or existed by
virtue of the road traffic. And now,
after half century's neglect and star
walton, a kindly fate has at last come
to the rescue of these old posting
towns in the shape of an annual inva-
sion of summer guests in search of the
simple life. There they spend their
six or eight weeks vacation, their
modest requirements being supplied
in these roomy old hostelries on cheap
terms. What the railway in its early
days had ruined 1t now has tardily

would make express shipments cheaper than shipments by par eel post.
 So far, however, these rates only prevail on interstate tariff. The Arkansas Railroad Commiss- ion has not yet adopted the new rates. but probably will do so soon.
 A representative of one of the express companies operating from aEl through Little Rock yestel- day gave several concrete exam pies of the great reduction in rates. His figures showed that the express rate in some instan- ces lower than the parcel pest rate on shipments between Lit e Rock and Chicago.
 The express rate on a five pound package. contents insured ud to $50, is g cents to Chicaa 0 or from Chicago to Little Rock. The parcel post rate with insur- ance for $25 is 28 cents, without insurance 23 cents.
 On a 20.pound package, the frstclass rate is 60 cents by eX- press; the secondclass express rate covering all food and drink is 52 cents, with insurance of $50.
 The parcel post rate is 93 cents with insurance of $50: 88 cents with insurance of $25. and with no insurance 83 cents.
 Tn other words. the express representative said, the express rate is lower than the lowest par eel post rate and carries insurance of value with 1t.
 OI course the new trafflcS have created quite bit of office work he continued. But we find that the rates are much simpler than the ones, and 1 believe that every thing will be running smoothly within d few days.

WILSON TO RAISE
 THE EMBARGO ON
 ARMS TO MEXICO
The Open Market for Rebels Will Result and Enemies of Huerta Declare It Means His Speady Down fall.

Washington, Feb. 3-President Wilson has decided to lift the embargo on eXportation of arms into Mexico.
 A proclamation under the au- thority of congressional resolut- ion of 1912, which will restore the status of tn" arms question to where both forces of Provision al President Huerta and the Con stitutionalists may export arms from the United States will soon be issued from the White Hol2n.
 This became k w n today through sources which have been constantly advised of the admin istration's policy in Mexico. It also becam known that the sub iect had been discussed at the cabinet meeting today. There were intimatiors that an official announcement of the administra- tion's purpose would be coming from the White House later.
 It is believed that President Will son finally decided to raise the embargo after being convinced that by restricting shipments :of arms to Mexico the United States was not really showing neutrality which was the purpose of the em- bargo. but was in fact showing pastialty IS the Huerta forces were enabled to get supplies from abroad

Dunaway returned home .rbout 5 o'clock she found Miss Dunaway lying on the floor dead and a revolver at her side. The powder from the revolver had t.the victims clothing afire and her face, arms and chest were charred from the blaze. The fact that she wore a heavy sweater coat prevented the flames from spreading.
 Miss Dunaway was in good health and her relatives are un- able to learn why she took her life, as she was of a cheerful dis position and had never intimated any intention sof committing sui eide. She was buraied at Belton where sister resided.
