TO CROW PEANUTS
FOR OIL PURPOSES

The agricultural department of the
Atlantic Coast Line is of the opinion
that peanuts can be grown for oil
purposes all along the country ira
versed by that line. Accordingly Will
bur Mccoy, agricultural agent of the
company, has issued the following cir
cular, which ought to be of interest to
the farmers in this section generally:
Investigation as to the growing
OF peanuts for oil purposes salts
fies us that they can be profitably
grown and marketed in the terri
tory of the Atlantic Coast Line in
Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
Farmers Bulletin 431, entitled
The Peanut as published by the U.
S department of agriculture, gives
information that peanuts can be
grown on any kind of soil that is
we'll drained and not sour. In this
bulletin, full information can be
found as to the varieties, cultiva-
ton and harvesting af peanuts.
Copies of this bulletin may be had
10y writing Wilbur Mccoy, agricul-
tural and immigration agent, Allan
tic Coast Line Railroad, Jackson
Vile, Fla.
we would suggest that if you will
get this bulletin and read it care
fully, you will be able to grow a
good crop of peanuts without any
further advice. Lime, however, is a
requisite necessary to grow a full
crop of peanuts"

SOUTH AMERICA TRADE
TO Be INVESTIGATED

WASHINGTON, D. c., March a.
South American markets for textiles,
wearing apparel, and electrical goods
Of all kinds are to be investigated by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Commerce.
The bureau has appointed Philip S.
Smith, of New York, to take up the
work on electrical appliance markets,
and he will leave about the middle OF
April. W. A. Tucker of Massachu-
sets, will sail about the same time
for South America, to study the mar
kets Off textiles and wearing ap-
parel.
One of the principal imports into
South America is textiles, particularly
cotton goods, and the United States
has heretofore supplied a much small
er part of this commodity than many
of our European competitors. Mr.
Tucker will inquire into the reasons
why European goods have dominated
the market, and will collect samples
showing the class of textiles in de-
mand. Mr.. Smith will also collect
samples of electrical appliances, to-
gether with catalogues and pricce lists.
H. G. Brock, of the bureaus staff, will
accompany Mr.. Tucker to do special
work, including an investigation of the
market for boots and shoes.

SALOON MEN WILL

ATLANTA, Ca, March 24.-Street
gossip has it today that a majority of

1t is said that a straw vote was

with the result that large majority of
them were shown in favor of getting
counsel and making some test cases
to try out whether the la whas any

ANENT THE AD vALOREM
AUTOMOBILE TAX

Investigation has revealed the fact
that only about 5000 or 1000 automo-
lilies are returned in the state of
Georgia for ad valorem taxation. The
registration for this year is very near.
~ 10000.
This has given rise to the suggestion
that the coming session of the legisla
ture make change in the state tax
laws which will require the owner OF
an automobile to return his car for
taxation at the time he purchases the
license tax; that the return be made
to the secretary of state, and that it
be transmitted by the secretary of
state to the proper county for collec-
ton of the proper tax. This, it IS
held, will also insure the proper valua-
ton on the car, instead of leaving the
crening to return a $4,000 car at a
few hundred dollars.

DRAGNET IN

10000 Men and Special Officers Hunt
Chicago Anarchist Feared VIII
Explode Bomb Before Leaving City.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The most
elaborate of police nets spread in New
York was set today in an effort to
apprehend Jean Crones, the Chicago
anarchist.
10000 men, the entire police force
were furnished with the latest dis
cription of the man who has tainted
the authorities for inability to catch
him and threatens to 'let go" his ar
rest.
Following a conference today be-
tween Inspector Gray, Commissioner
Schul and Captain Tunney of the bomb
squad arrangements were made to
guard every place by which Crones
might leave New York. Special off
GERS were thrown into the game of
hunting down the anarchists and to
watch all visitors TO libraries.
The police believe Crones will try
to leave New York some day as he has
said he would in his latest defiant let
ter flouting the department. The po-
lice also believe and are afraid Crones
will attempt to explode bomb before
he attempts to leave the city to-mor-
row. To guard against this every
precaution has been taken

POSTOFFICE PORK

(From the Philadelphia Record.)
Some remarkable figures about the
pork barrel as applied to the build
ing of postoffices have been compiled
by the Journal of the American Insti-
tute of Architects, which is seeking
to bring about reform in this wicked
waste of federal money. Among the
offenders we find our neighbor, Media,
for which Congressman Butler induced
a Democratic congress to give 100000
Media is growing slowly, the last
census giving it population of 1862,
but no one can honestly claim that
its postal business justified a 100000
home. Hollidaysburg, with 1874 res
idents, is to get an $4,000 postofice,
and Lock Haven is to get an $4,000
building for its 7,772 people. This
figure contrasts curiously with the ap-
preparation for McKee's Rocks, which,
with 14,072 population gets only an
$4,000 building State College, whose
permanent inhabitants number only
1,425, is to have a SIS, 1000 postofice-
certainly a very generous allowance.
In comparison with many western
and southern appropriations, however,
those allowed to Pennsylvania are mod
est, Farmville, Va, for instance, with
only 971 persons in 1910, as against
2, All in 1900, is to have 100000

YOUR BABY GIVEN GREAT
OPPORTUNITY TO LAY THE
FOUNDATION Of FUTURE RICHES
$1,000 in Gold Will Be Given Away bv The
Daily and Weekly Reporters to the
Riddles of This Section

The Daily and Weekly Reporter is
to-day announcing a novel feature to
increase its subscription list and in
which The Reporter will give away
absolutely free without a cent of cost
ST 200 in gold to babies residing with
in the territory covered by the Re
porter.
Where is there parent in this sec
ton who would not devote few hours
of spare time and effort if baby was
rewarded with bank account
of $1,000 when it became of age?
Where is there a parent or relative
who does not appreciate the wonder
full opportunity which will be held out
to a person if at the age of q bank
account of 81, 800 was given him?
Unlike other campaigns operated in
connection with the Reporter there
will be no losers. Each and every
candidate who does not win a gold
prize will be given cash commission
of twenty per cent on monies turned
into the Reporters office, and on
which votes are issued for the baby.
In fact the Reporter does not care to
have any work done in this campaign
without compensation, hence the
liberal offer previously set forth
1t will not cost a penny to enter the
campaign, neither will it cost a penny
to win. In fact, one need not be even
a subscriber to the Reporter to enter
the campaign.
The prizes offered are not bank &C
counts-in fact parents may do with
the money as they like. An account
in the bank would be very handsome
thing for those who can afford it, but
the prizes will be awarded in good old
u. S. Gold Coin.
This is surely proposition unexcel-
led in this section. A proposition in
which there will be no losers and in
which a great amount of money will
be spent for prizes. A proposition in
which you can protect the baby's fu-
ture and rest absolutely assured that
there will be money to further an ed.
