LESS DEMAND FOR PEANUTS
Japanese Growers Alarmed at the
Withdrawal of American Buyers
From Market of Japan.

Producers of ground nuts in Chiba,
Shidzuoka, and other eastern prov
inces of Japan are alarmed at the
complete withdrawal of American buy
ers from the market. The United
States has been thus far the best Gus
toner for Japanese farmers, taking
over so per cent of the whole output
annually, with signs Of a steady pro-
gress. Toward the close of November,
when in ordinary years the season is
in full swing, negotiations for bust
ness with America were suddenly
dropped and no inquiry has since even
been received.
The causes for the business dead
lock are, according to the generally ac-
cepted interpretations, the bumper
crop of ground nuts in the United
States itself, sudden decrease in de-
mand, owing to the commercial depres-
sion in the United States, and the ex-
acting rates collected for war risks.
According to a cablegram received in
certain quarters of Japan the market
in America for this particular kind of
goods is. quite dislocated, no prices be-
ing quoted even for nominal pur-
pose.

FOUND TIMES HAD CHANGED
AlkalI lke's Attempt to "shoot Up
San Diego Saloon Received with
Marked Disapproval.

Alkali Ike, deputy sheriff from the
desert, was visitor in the city, says
San Diego, Cal, dispatch to the New
York Sun. Alkali was looking for the
white lights. BY noon, having failed
to discover the excitement his soul
crayed, he made his way into the U.
8. Grant hotel buffet, and, pulling a
"forty-five" that looked like one of
the kaiser's howitzers, announced
that he was going to do some clean
ing"
AS he swung his Krupp around the
room heads dropped behind parti-
tons, active men lodged into booths
and many faces paled at visions OF
sudden death. Commander in Chief
Billie Schiller tipped his cigar to a
higher angle than usual and, backed
by Irish and Germans, advanced on
"the bad man from the sand hills"
For an instant visions of carnage
flashed before his eyes of the men
who had sought refuge, but 1t quickly
passed, for Schiller annexed the can
non and threw Alkali Ike to the side
walk. Half an hour later the fire.
eater was back begging with tears
streaming down his face for his weap-

It'll be on my way to the sand hills
in five minutes" he promised as he
got back his gun.

TURNED FROM WAR TO PEACE
William Penn a Distinguished Soldier
Before His Conversion to the
Faith Of the Quakers.

The death day of William Penn, the
great advocate of peace, was July 80,
1918. His father was Sir William
Penn, an admiral who had fought with
distinction the fleets of Spain and
Holland, and a gruff old sea dog was
he, while his mother was Dutch
woman, daughter of rich Rotter-
dam merchant While a student at
Oxford William Penn went to hear
Thomas Lee, a Quaker, preach. He
was so affected that he began to think
of becoming a Quaker himself. His
father heard of the impending meta
morphosis with horror and packed OF
young William to France, where he
forgot Quakerism in the gayety Of
Paris and returned, to his fathers de-
light, a fine gentleman with all the
airs and accomplishments of cour-
tier. The terrors of the plague In
London in 1865 revived his pious ten
denotes. This time he was sent to
ireland, where he distinguished him
self as soldier 1t happened while In
Ireland at Cork that he strolled into
meeting house. Thomas Lee was
preaching. He spoke from the text
There is faith that overcomes the
world and there is faith that is over
come by the world" From that meet
ing is dated PENIS thorough CONVEX
sion to Quakerism. 1t is curious fact
that the only authentic portrait OF
the great apostle Of peace represents
him at this period as young man
armed and accoutered as soldier.

CAN'T LOSE HAIR
Twenty Years from Today a Bald
headed Man VIII Be an
Unusual Sight.

One OF the most prominent druggists
|of America made a statement a few
weeks ago which has caused a great deal
Iof discussion among scientists in the
medical press
He said: IF the new hair grower,
Mildredina Hair Remedy, increases its
sales as it has during the past year, it
will be used by nearly every man,
woman and child in America within
eight years.
when Mildredina Hair Remedy is
used almost universally, dandruff will
disappear and with its departure bald
ness, itching scalp, splitting hair and ali
scalp diseases will follow and twenty
years from now bald head will be a
rarity.
There is only one way to cure dandruff,
and that is to kill the germs. There is
only one hair preparations that will
kill the germs and that is Mildredina
Hair Remedy. This unusual hair re-
storer with its record OF thousands of
cures will grow hair on any head where
there is any life left; it will cure dand-
ruff, stop railing hair and itching of the
scalp in three weeks or money back.
1t is the most pleasant and invigorat-
ing tonic, is not sticky or greasy, and is
used extensively by ladies of refinement
who desire to have and to keep their
hair soft, lustrous aud luxuriant. Fifty
cents for large bottle at druggists
everywhere. Mail orders filed by Amer

John Muir.

The late John Muir was one or
those rare spirits who devote large
part of their lives to making men &C
quainted with the beauties and won
ders of nature. Besides being a gift
ed writer, whose words have had a
solid attraction for fine and sympa-
thetic type of minds, Mr.. Muir was a
practical scientist-as geologist and
an explorer he has contributed his
share to the worlds intellectual re-
sources. The romance of his career
and the mystery of that special gift
which made glaciers a particular OBJ
ject of his studies are matters over
which the average man may well
pore with wonderment. 1t is not easy
for the person of affairs to under
stand the irresistible call which comes
to certain natures to make themselves
masters of the secrets that lie only
half-hidden in the physical world that
surrounds us. But that some natures
receive this call and respond to it
nobly is the testimony of such career
as John Muir s.-Springfeld Repub-
ican.

Miner MAKE GOOD soldiers.


Lord Kitchener, it appears, has in
the course of his service become deep
ly impressed with the value of the
Northumbrian miner as a military as
set. His good opinion is founded on
his observation of the work done in
the field by the Northumbrian fu-
sileers He told Lord Grey that he
wanted more men of the same class
for the new forces which he is organ
izing. Thereupon Lord Grey, visiting
the mining centers in the north, ex-
planned Lord Kitchener's desire to
the miners themselves, with the result
that recruiting local committees were
formed by the older men throughout
the mining regions, and that large
numbers of young miners. many of
them athletes, have been enrolled in
the ranks. 1t is probable that they
will be organized into special regi-
ment. in which old acquaintance will
have the privilege of marching and
fighting together.

EXCESS CREWS
IN DISFAvOR
Various Attempts to Enact New
State Laws Have Been
Unsuccessful
Pailadelnhia. Feb. q.


Efforts OF tie t.ainmen's organiza
ticn to force Full Crew Laws-really
seXeess Grew laWs-upon various
states are meeting with strong public
opposition. Farmers and business men
of Kansas made such sharp protest
that the bill before the legislature of
that state was killed February 10 in
the senate committee.
An effort to enact an excess" crew
law in West Virginia met with gen.
eral opposition, and the bill was re-
ported adversely by the legislative
committee to which it was referred.
Down in Alabama a legislative COM
mittee, after public hearings upon
Full Crew bill, concluded that the
contentious of the trainmen's union
were not well founded and that the
measure would only compel employ
ment of extra men not needed on the
trains. The bill was consequently adj
versely reported.
In Texas new effort to get an
excess" crew bill passed has encoun-
tered vehement opposition from the
farmers, who defeated a previous eff
fort. Out in Washington bill has
been agreed upon by committees Of
both the senate and the house, which
in effect will repeal the Full Crew
Law of that state and leave it to the
Public Service Commission to say how
trains shall be manned
The bill before the New York legis-
lature for repeal of the Full Crew
Law Of that state is being earnestly
supported by newspapers all over the
state, by grange and business organi-
cations, such as the Rochester Cham
Der of Commerce, and by influential
men Of affairs.
The State Board of Agriculture and
the New Jersey State Chamber of
Commerce stand strongly for repeal
of the Full Crew Law of New Jersey,
with power to the Public Utilities
Commission to determine how trains
should be manned.

Fatalities Anono the Wounded.

A report to the army commission.
made by the director of the medical
department at the ministry Of war in
France, Ascloses the wonderful re-
suits achieved by modern surgery.
The wounded, between September
Is and November 80, numbered $780,
900, approximately. F1fty-four and one
half per cent of them returned to the
firing line. Twenty-four and one-half
per cent were sent out on furlough
during convalescence and have since
returned to the front. Seventeen per
cent are still In hospital, to complete
their recovery. One and forty-eight
hundredths per cent are unfit for fur
Their service. Two and forty-eight
hundredths per cent died from the
effects of their injuries.
The mortality would probably fall
as low as one per cent If the wound
ed could be received from the battle
lines with less delay and there were
enough professional surgeons to treat
them all.

Sound Waves.

Some curious facts about the effects
Of the wind, temperature, moisture and
composition Of the atmosphere on the
way sound waves travel through the
air and reach our ears have been
brought to light by some investigations
which DR.. H. Bateman, a famous me-
teoroiogist, has been making.
The general influence of any wind.
1t appears, Is to reduce the audibility
Of sounds. The usual greater range
of sound with the wind than against
it is ascribed to the increase Of wind
velocity with altitude, which bends up
ward the sound waves travelling
against the wind and downward those
going with the wind.

Ancient Weapons Of War.

The ancient catapult, of which the
Austrians tried a modern version at
Belgrade, was, strictly speaking, an
engine that threw darts-a sort of
machine-gun. The engine that threw
stones, weighing from two pounds up
to three hundredweight, was the ba-
lista But the two terms were In time
confronted and loosely used. Accord
ing to Josephus, the balista could
throw stones a quarter of mile. All
these machines were worked by twist
ed hair, thongs and vegetable fibres.
And the most tantalizing passage in
the classics is Aristotles allusion, in
speaking of acts for which man can
not be held wholly responsible to "the
man who let off the catapult by acct
dent"

REAL MEANING OF zIoNisM
Reblrth Of Nation In Palestine 10
Movement for Greater Freedom
Of the JeWs.


The Jewish movement called Zion
ism is not q movement for the restora-
ton of the Jews to Palestine. The
little land could not support more than
100000 of the 100000 Jews. 1t is
3 movement to win more freedom for
Jews everywhere. But the new birth
Of q Jewish nation In Palestine Is In
process of practical completion.
A generation ago few Jews emil
grated from Roumania and Russia to
Palestine because convinced that the
Jews undying yearning for the land Of
Abraham Is a fact of thu deepest
meaning. It is evidence OF the sur
vival of q nationality that has shown
It's fitness to survive. Those pilgrims
and their successors have demon
strated that Palestine is 1T for the
modern Jew and that he is fit for the
land.
Where the land was treeless and sup
posed to be worthlessly sterile the col
onists have caused the almond and
the olive. the grape and the orange,
wheat and the sister cereals 10 thrive
and abound. They are changing the
desert into a garden. At the same
time the material development of the
Jewish colonies has been accompanied
by no less remarkable development of
the Hebrew colonizers both socially
and spiritually. Hebrews, after a
sleep Of more than two thousand years
as dead" language, has again be-
come q living tongue, serving as the
medium Of intercommunication be-
tween Jews from many countries of
different languages. The renascence
Of the Hebrew language has in turn
acted powerfully to revive the spirit
Of Jewish nationality.
It is a strange instance Of the turns
Of history's wheel that nearly twenty

led beneath the dust of ages, modern
Jews now return again to the land of
