An Excellent Hog Feed.

Peanuts will grow in any soil in
Louisiana. but are most productive
in moderately sandy soils. The
largest yields are secured from
gray sandy hill lands, and the red
clays of the hills of North Louis
lana, that are only moderately stiff.
Peanuts are most excellent hog
feed. Planted early in the spring.
they are ready for grazing about
the first of August. Planted after
oats and clovers in June, they are
ready for grazing about the latter
part of September. They come in
very timely for feed between cow
peas and sweet potatoes. 1t pays
to plant plenty of seed and secure
a thick stand, About one bushel

of shelled peanuts per acre is re-
quired of the Spanish or Virginia.
The Spanish being smaller, will
give thicker stand for the same
planting but they will permit thick
er planting than will the large
types Plant in rows as narrow
as possible to permit comfortable
use of implements in cultivation.
Thirty to thirty-six inches is a
good with. Hills four incnes apast
are not too thick though eight to
twelve inches is commonly re-
commended. More than twelve
inches is too thin.
1t is desirable to feed hogs a
small amount Of corn when they

A colored man who had contracted
a debt some years ago with one Of our
merchants came to town the other day
and called on his old creditor. Didn't
you 'splain to me dat If l settled up
dat account you would give me low

chant. Yes, l did say so, Sam" re-
piled the merchant. "If you are ready
to settle your bill now l will make a
good allowance" and the merchant
waited for the colored individual to

War Cannot Destroy u.

A wonderful night tonight, so that
the spirit goes forth a little, enters
the harmony of things, drinks the
magic OF the world. How beauty
moves the heart! And war cannot de-
stroy it, cannot take from US the feel
ing that-living or dead-we belong to
such perfection. 1t cannot take the
voice from the streams, remove the
flight Of small wings in the darkness
the CLEAN Of moonlight, the whisper
of night about Us, nor that bright star.
u cannot take from within us the soul
that yibrstes to loneliness, TO the
great-hearted rhythm round us.-John
Galsworthy, in Scribner's Magazine.

lakes In Ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt paid taxes with a
vengeance. The names of more than
$50 different taxes imposed on the
Egyptians of the Roman period have
been learned from the papyri. Besides
the poll tax, they include taxes on
exports and imports, on animals, on
business transactions, such as sales
and mortgages, imposts for the bene-
fit Of the government and its OIL
Gals, from the emperor downward,
who took his baksheesh In the form OF
q national offering, at his accession
When one further considers the other
burdens to which property was liable
the imposition of public duties and
the discharges of costly municipal
functions, the wonder Is that there
was anything left to tax.

Canned Vegetables for Soup

For tie canning club members
who do not find it practicable to
procure soup stock during the
summer canning season, and who
would like a supply of vegetable
soup during the winter, the spe
cialists in charge of boys and girls
club work, North and West, sug
gest that that the vegetable por-
ton of the soup be canned separate
ly. Whenever the soup stock is
available during the winter the
preparation of the soup is simple
matter. Mixed vegetables for the
purpose may be canned according
to the following directions:
Soak 6 pounds of lima beams
and 4 pounds of dry peas over
night. Boil each one-half hour
Blanch 10 pounds of carrots, 6
pounds of cabbage, 3 pounds of
celery, 6 pounds of turnips, 4
pounds of okra, / pound of onions
and 4 pounds of parsley for 8
minutes and dip in cold water
quickly. Prepare the vegetables
ind chop them into small cubes.

duces greater piston pressure when

TAX BOOKS WILL
CLOSE MARCH IS
Moline People VIII Have Until That
Time to Make Payment-Elev-
enth Hour Rush Expected.

There is an enormous sum in the
way of taxes still uncollected in the
city of Moline and there promises to
, be an 18th hour rush that will cause
considerable inconvenience to those
who wait too long. Saturday, March
is, is the last day when taxes may be
paid in that city and those who have
not yet paid are advised to hurry.
The Illinois state law sets March 10
as the last day for collecting taxes,
but G. L. Peterson, who is making the
collection in Moline, has followed
custom there and granted a weeks ex-
tention Of time.
Mr.. Peterson has his headquarters
in City Clerk C. v Johnson's Office
! in the city hall, and to date he has
collected $110,779O4. AS a total of
$4,000 is to be collected, it will be
seen an eleventh hour rush is theat-
ened. The SHOTS that has been col
lected represents payments by $500
people, that number of receipts hav-
ing been issued.
10 date the Sechler Implement 4
Carriage Co. is the only one OF Mo-
lines large manufacturing concerns
that has paid. Practically all them
have sent representatives to Mr.. Pet
erson, however, to learn the sum for
which they are assessed, and these
payments are expected to begin COM
ing in within the next few days.
In this connection, it should be stat
| ed that no cards were sent out con-
corning taxes in real estate. Those
cards that were sent through the mail
had to do with personal property on
ly, and those people who own real es-
tate are expected to call at the COL
lector's headquarters to learn what
amount is assessed against them.

A RECORD INCREASE
IN CAR PRODUCTION
Felie Company Sounds Note of Real
Prosperity.


| Everybody knows that the past few
months have brought a greatly in
creased volume of domestic pleasure
| car business even in the face of war
times. This has been forcibly brought
to the attention of many buyers
through an inability to get a favorite
car when it was wanted.
The automobile builder has been
held back by the steel manufacturer,
who in the past months closed his
mills and used up his surplus in fear
OF continued dull times. But in spite
of that fact the Velie Motor Vehicle
company point to a steady increase
IN car sales month by month until
November reveals deliveries 400 per
cent greater than those of year ago.
Think of it-four times as MANY Veliei
Skies than in 1914.
The Velie company has had faith in
the country-in the better times to
come and in its product, the Velie Six.
Material was purchased early in the
year-quantities were increased-addi-
tons were built-more men wera em-
ployed, and even now further plans are
being made for enlargement.
Situated in the garden spot of
the west, the Mississippi valley, manv
cars are bought and driven home by
prosperous farmers and towns people
OF the surrounding country.
OF course, the Velie Six price of 81
o6o has had great influence. but back
OF that stands the ever-increasing con-
hdence OF the public in Velie stability
and in the Velie organization.
The state of Michigan claims 80
large manufacturers of motor cars
Twenty-four of the SO use Michigan
made spark plug known as the A G.
plug. Sixteen of the SO builders are
located in Detroit alone. Of this num-
Der, all but four use A C plugs.
This conclusive proof of superiority
this wonderful record is held by the
Champion Ignition company of Flint.
Mich, manufacturers of A C plugs. Not
only are these plugs used on Michigan
Dulld cars but they will be found as
standard equipment on most of the
high class cars made in America.
Mr.. Champion claims there are only
few makes of cars not equipped with
A plugs. The present A C plug pop-
uiarity has been acquired purely on
quality and performance.
1t is to the interest of every car
builder to equip his car with the best
ignition system possible. 1t is the
heart OF the motor-the element that
goes far toward spelling success or
failure for the car. Builders recoe-
nize the folly of using poor plugs.
