A FACTORY
BADLY NEEDED
IN ARDMORE
FARMERS WHO ARE RAISING
PEANUTS ARE ASKING THIS
CITY FOR A MARKET FOR
THEM.

"ArGmore people have been urging
Us farmers to diversity our crops
Sumo Of us have diversified this year
by raising peanuts, and we find that
columns of space in informing us
what to raise, have not provided "A
market for our products" said w.
II. II. Keltner in an interview on the
subject this morning.
Continuing. he said
Il am in hearty sympathy with the
idea of diversified farming, and have
always joined hands with The Ard
moreite in preaching this reforma-
ton, have continued urging this to
such an extent that in the neighbor-
hood of where my farms are located,
by the aid of Charley Morris of Ma
rietta, induced many of the farmers
to plant this year largely of wheat
oats and peanuts. We have a good
market for our wheat. oats and other
products, but none for our peanuts.
We found ourselves loaded with
three or four carloads of peanuts,
and began early in the season look
ing for a market. The acute point
has beeL reached within the last few
days, and have taken it upon my
self to find market where we could
reach with some degree Of profit.
Lee9ing Ringing, | went to Conan
che, and found nice peanut factory
with capacity just sufficient to han
die the peanuts of that locality at
profitable price to the farmer. From
there went to Denison, the next fac
tory known to us. found the Deni-
son mill utilizing all the peanuts of
that section at a good price, but
without capacity to go beyond its
own locality. / visited in several di-
rections from Denison and | found
happy condition of the farmers by

nuts and a good market nearby.
From Denison ! went to Durant
city on the Katy north of Denison.
l found there peanut factory with
a capacity sufficient to handle the
local crop, and in conversing with
the farmers, found that they were
making from eight to twelve dollars
per acre more out of their peanuts
than they were out Of their cotton,
even though a fair yield has been
made, and the price ranging above IL
cents.
"If | could have found the location
of any more peanut factories, would
have visited them. The sum total
Of this investigation reveals that
these factories have only a capacity
to handle the peanuts of
the local raisers, and the freight
rates are such, not by reason of high !
rates, but the roundabout way in
which the nuts would have to be
shipped to reach the factories men
toned, makes it impossible for the !

COLONEL BACK HOME,
SMILINGLY SILENT
Hen Pheasant in Basket Makes
the Only Big Noise at
Railroad Station.
NOT A WORD ABOUT BRYAN

Col. Theodore Roosevelt came home
Yesterday afternoon from his outing in
Louisiana Drowned, happy and silent.
He radiated good nature and satisfac-
ton. There wasn't the least indication
that he had not fully recovered from
such mental or physical exactions as
he may have experienced during the re-
cent affair at Syracuse.
His arrival was unheralded and only
n hen pheasant that called cheerfully
from n basket under the Colonel's arm
made any demonstration as he stepped
from his train at the Pennsylvania sta
ton and was greeted by Mrs. Rooss-
welt. She had come to the station with
John McGrath. the Colonel's secretary.
They walked up the long flight of stairs
from the train level and then went by
elevator TO the foor above. Apparently
only a few persons recognized the for
mer President as he walked over TO
where his automobile was waiting for
him.
Right away the Colonel said that he
didn't propose to talk about anything
politics, peace. steel Corporation or
Bryan. He hadn't given put any inter-
views and he would not. He felt fine,
and had had a good time. but one
couldn't even say that with quotation

Secretary Of the Navy J%osephus Dan
iels gave evidence yesterday Of his de-
termination that the navy should In no
way participate in the national peace
and preparation conference being held
here under the auspices Of the National

tionai defence which was held last eve
ming in Carnegie Hall and which wal
attended by three or four former
Cabinet members. Secondly. he or

tseIf from the exhibition. but a OF
