In every building there is always to be
found one loose board that is never made
absolutely tight and no matter how we
may try to avoid stepping on it we will
surely do SO at an awkward moment and
the squeak cannot be concealed. 1t acts
as an alarm and a warning. And this is
true of most of our characters. No man
is perfect and there is in him something
which he can never entirely eradicate, it
may be habit. it may be disease or it
may be selfshness. But the loose board
is there to be stepped on and squeak by
chance.

Peanuts a Paying Crop.

Peanuts a Paying Crop.
The splendid results with peanuts
that have been obtained in the south
erh 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 At
RIGA, China, India and other places
amount to 100000 pounds, valued at
approximately $1,000,000. 1t viii 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 Tered peanut plan
tation are as clearlv defined as are
those of an orange rove in Florida or
0 vineyard in California.
