Peanuts q Paying Crop.
The splendid results with peanuts
that have been obtained In the south.
ern states for many years have focused
attention upon the peanut possibilities
Of the middle west and the southwest.
says the Country Gentleman. Califor-
MIA is also an important peanut pro-
ducing region. but with all this enor-
nous production Of peanuts this coun-
try does not produce all the peanuts
required for domestic consumption
The average annual imports from Al
RIGA. China. India and other places
amount to 2O,OOO.OO0 pounds, valued at
approximately $1.OOO.OOO. II will be
seen. therefore. that there is opportuni
ty for the prospective peanut grower
Cultivation of the peanut has long
since passed the experimental stage,
and the practices that govern the man
agement of well ordered peanut plan
tation are as clearly defined as are
those Of an orange grove in Florida or
a vineyard In California.

GIRLS CROSS POND TO AVOID
HARDSHIPS
Humphrey Man Goes to Germany ia
Find Two Girl Cousins Working
at Menial Labor.
ONE IN A BLACKSMITH SHOP


Terrible conditions and untold hard
ships among the people of Germany
were detailed in Omaha by John Streh
lau of Humphrey. Nebr., when pass
Ing through Omaha on his return from
Germany. where he had gone to bring
to America two girls, cousins of his,
who were suffering hardships there as
a result of the war.
Strehlau. had heard from his rela-
tiyes shortly before the war and lear
ned at that time that they were COM
fortably situated. that they were in
good circumstances, all had good jobs
and that the girls were not compelled
to wark away from home. A short
time ago he heard that as a result of
the war they had lost their normal
means of support and were in a pitt
able plight. He made a trip to Ger
many just to see how they were and
bring the girls to America If they car
ed to come
He found one of the girls working
for wages in blacksmith shop and
the other working by the day In a
livery barn.
This, Mr.. Strehlau said, he found
to be common thing for the women
to be doing all kinds of menial labor
Of this kind to support themselves and
to take the place of the men who are
at the front. He took the girl from
the blacksmith shop and the one from
the livery barn and brought them
with him to America.
He said that everywhere young women
were begging to be brought to Ameri-
ca, just to escape the hardship, poverty
and misery that exists in Germany at
the present time. They told him that
they would go to America II they
could with no promise Of job at all,
as they were certain Of being able to
make their living once they get across
the water.
The factories are closed according to
his statement, and business is at a
standstill, not only in Germany, but
pretty much all over the belligerent
countries of Europe. This is what is
making conditions SO very hard-the
fact that payrolls have stopped at the
factories. that the men who should be
the providers are at the front, and that
all wealth and energy is being thrown
into an effort to destroy and tear down
instead Of an effort to produce and
build up. according to Mr.. Strehlau.
Mr.. Strehlau was greatly impressed
with the way all the country where
fighting has been done is torn with
trenches. He says that to his mind it
seems impossible that many of the
fields could ever be worked again,
judging from the terrible way In which
they were slashed with deep bitches
and wide trenches Belgium he said
had suffered most in this way, rs he
says the whole of Belgium is literally
one succession Of trenches.

Mrs. T. v. Grantham entertained the

usual interest entertained the people.
Mrs. l.. e. Petersen rendered a solo
Miss Laura Labaree and Miss Doris

Miss Nellie Harrison and Miss Marie

gave talk in the interest of the Re-

usual was devoted to the deyotions.
Preaching services In the Revival
campaign will begin next Sunday and
continue each night Except Saturday,
for two weeks. There will be mems
noon day prayer meeting each day be-
ginning with Monday. The mems meet

Citizens National Bank. Promptly
with the blowing Of the whistle the
meeting will begin and will not last
over twenty minutes. New song books
have been purchased for the use of
the meetings. We ask the cooperation
Of all Christian people in all of these
services and especially the help of all
Christian men is asked for the noon
day meeting.
One of the best members of the
church we ever knew came into the
church a stranger, and adopted line
of conduct very UNUSUAL. She reported
to the Pastor on the Sabbath of her ar
rival; she did not wait to be hunted
up. She said: "Here l am and 1 am
ready for work" Without waiting for
any special welcome" from the old
members of the church, she kept her
eyes open for newcomers, and convert
ed herself at once into "welcomer".
She sought around the neighgborhood
for schoolless children, and brought
them to the Sunday school, and de-
veloped and organized her own class.
She went to two OF the Ladies Socie-
ties and Joined them promptly. She
did not wait to be solicited to under
take any duty or work: she sought out
these herself. 1t is not to be wondered
at that within three or four months
she had made her own place in that
church, and became one of the most
active factors and the pastors right

The Ladies Aid Society is meeting
this Thursday afternoon at the Par
sonage. Special games with needles
and thimbles are being played to the

Last Sunday was quite generally OBJ
served throughout the English speak
ing world in celebration of the One
Hundred years of peace between the
United States and Great Britain. The
war in Europe is making so much
noise we little realize that the move
ment for International peace is stead
lily growing in the sentiments of the
common people and in the Thoughts of
enlightened statesmen. Without a fort
or a soldier or warship on our near
ly 1000 miles of northern frontier.
notwithstanding fishery squabbles and
boundry disputes, the Trent affair. the
Alabama Claims and the Venezula con-
troversy, these two high spirited peo-
pies have retained their passions and
kept the peace. Contrast this with
Europe and here is the plain lesson:
Splendid preparation for war does not
prevent war but rather invites II as
armed desperadoes in a mining camp
surely breed trouble. Deliberate de-
termination to have peace and NO plan
for war-notwithstanding the provoca-
tion otherwise prevented armed
conflict between two great nations for
100 years. This ia the lesson for TO-
day. and the hope of tomorrow and for
another century Of peace" The reac-
tionarfes call the Peace Advocates an
"absurb group" but the stars in their
courses are fighting for International

PROVE MEDICAL THEORY
Open Air Treatment Given Monkeys
by Gentry Brothers.

In the evolution Of medicine and
surgery the masters of these profess
siOns have resOrted 20 the use of the
lower animals in making tests by
which the human family profits The
rabbit and the guinea pig are the
lower animals in which the heart ac-
ton is closest 10 that OF the human
being.
The monkey tribe, however. is the
family in which the action of the lungs
is closest TO that Of man. Monkeys
are particularly subject 10 pulmonary
tuberculosis. or consumption Among
monkeys the deadly white plague
reaps its toll almost without resist
ance.
Several years ago the medical world
evolved the theory that open air was
the surest preventative for tubercu-
losis Of the lungs. This scientific dis
closure was quickly caught up by the
Gentry Brothers, prOprietOTS and
shows.
Conducting a trained animal exhibit

fame, Gentry Brothers used monkeys.
The loss among the simians from
tuberc ulOsiS was appalling. When the
fresh air treatment was eXpouhded
Gentry Brothers decided upon drastic

Following this decision came most

provided the simians. destined 10 open

heavier than any ever before seen on
monkeys. The monkeys were left in
open air all the year. their only pro-
lection being "A dry goods box Since
then Gentry Brothers have lost but
two monkeys. whereas 25 was the
usual toll OF the plague in winter.
The monkeys. strangely enough
welcome their new mode of living.
All summer they are left in uncOn-
