RAISE PEANUTS IN
NORTHERN SECTIONS
Spanish Variety Grows in a
Bunch and Can Be Planted
CIoseIy-Matures Early.
(By HUGH G. GRINSTEAL.)

A few years ago It was thought that
peanuts. or "goobers" as they are
called in the South. could be raised
only in the southern states, but now it
is known that they do fairly we'll as
far north as Iowa, while they grow
almost as we'll in Missouri as In the
more southern states.
The best variety to plant 80 far
north is the Spanish, which grows
in a bunch. can be planted closer, and
natures earlier and more even than
the old Virginia varieties The soil
best suited to the growth of peanuts
is sandy or warm and well drained.
They should not be planted till the
ground is warm. ABOUT the same tine
you would plant melons. Prepare the
ground well, and drop the seed two in
q hill IA inches apart for the bunch
kind, and about 20 inches apart for
the vine kinds usually grown in the
South.
They should be kept clean. 1t is
not necessary to cover the vine with
dirt in order to get it to form nuts, as
was OuCS uOue, lUT tue SlueS Will
throw out runners on which the nuts
form by little roots running into the
ground.
never saw a peanut plant quit
bearing. Like the cotton plant. they
have fruit of all stages of growth
when the crop is harvested, and, of
course, the longer the season the
larger the crop.
AS soon as there is danger of frost
the vines should be pulled up. A
fork should be run under the hill,
loosening the ground SO all the nuts
may be pulled up with the vine. The
vines may be allowed to remain in the
field if the weather is good, or they
may be taken to the barn and the nuts
picked OFF at any time.
If the vines are not allowed to get
wet they make excellent hay. There
will be mary culls or imperfect nuts
that are worth nothing and should
be left on the vines for the stock.
A pound of nuts from any good
scotsman will plant enough for home
use. They are healthful food and
contain much nourishment.

Sancha bowed himself from the
queens chamber and hastened to the
lower region of the palace. He
reached the room over the death dun

through which he peered down and
saw Paulo, the doomed prisoner, lying
asleep on the floor of the oubliette.
Sancha then mounted the stone steps
OF which the queen had spoken. At
the top he found the door her mat
esty had described. Sancha opened
this door-and stood within the Sc
cret chamber. The king and Godiva
had, up to this time. not yet entered.
And Sanchs concealed himself behind
the curtains at the side OF the couch
and waited.
It was soon after the chamberlain
had thus secreted his person in the
secret chamber that the king and Go
diva entered as already described.
And now, maddened by the girls

Then came a further unexpected
happening. The king, In rage, opened
the door that revealed the stone
steps leading down to the room that
was over the palace dungeon. And
through this door the king dragged
Godiva.
Sancha, concealed behind the cur

And with that she snatched the sti-

swept from the chamber.
In the room above the dungeon the
king and Godiva were holding final

No attempt was made by Mrs.

she had charged the city with

cense this week to help them

to them in the municipalitys
Golfers.
Permission was granted by 40
less authority than the state SUI
preme court.
In one of the most amazing
decisions ever heard of In Wash
ington, the states highest tribun-
al invited public officials to step
up to the vaults and help them
selves. Perfect protection from
suits to recover is guaranteed In
the decision.
The city attorneys office of
Tacoma declares that the decision
is one of the most outrageous
and remarkable ever handed
down in this state.
1t practically throws open the
doors of the city treasury to any
official who'd like to dip his fists
into the golden wealth.
Step up, gontlmen, and help
yourselves!
Must Catch EN- in Act.
The unique decision came down
in the suit of the city of Tacoma
versus Mrs. Agnes Fletcher Leigh
ton, former superintendent of the
Tacoma contagious hospital, sx-
Mayor Seymour. and City Con-
troller Meads.
And it's most remarkable re-
suit is that an official can con-
vert money to himself-as long
as he can get by with it-and
have absolute civil immunity
after he is caught.
The only way the city can
even recover the stolen cash is by
enjoining the official while he is
in the act of taking the coin.
AS superintendent of the con-
tagious hospital, Mrs. Leighton
was paid regular salary, and
besides, was allowed 20 cents for
every meal served to the patients
and to the janitor and nurses.
No refernce was ever made to
the meals eaten by the superin-
tendent.
Charged City S503.4O.
After Mayor Tawcett took Of
flee, and supplanted Mrs. Leigh
ton with a new superintendent,
it was discovered that the woman
had sent in q regular monthly
bill for all meals eaten by her
self.
She had eaten 1867 meals pre-
pared by herself, and had charg-
ed the city with $593.40 for
them. Her claims had been coun-
tersigned by Mayor Seymour, and
had been approved by Controller
Meads, who had failed to mako
the necessary audit.
Assistant City Attorney. Carna-
han filed suit to force Mrs.
leighton to hand back to the
lcity the money obtained by her
from the city in this manner.
