ALABAMA FARMERS MADE
MONEY ON PEANUT CROP

Mr., Jas. Y. Bitch, Nice-Presi-
dent of the First National Bank at
iEaldosta, DESTROYS of learning
what results the farmers of Ala
bama met with when they planted
peanuts last year as a money crop
wrote to the Farmers and Mer-
chants banks of Enterprise, Ala,
and received the following answer
from Mr.. L. Fl. Sessions, Cashier:
Dear Sir:
1--WE are in receipt of your ia
vor OF the 18th, regarding the pea
nut industry in this section, and
we beg to advise you as follows:
The peanut crop has saved our
section this year. In the year
1914, when cotton prices dropped
to such a low level, a great many
farmers were obliged to sacrifice
their crops, and were left almost
bankrupt, but began planting pea
nuts, and this fall will find our
farmers generally in better CON
dition than they have ever been.
We have one customer who fell
behind with us $500 in 1914,
and with three plows has paid up
this fall. We have lots of other
cases like this. We did not aver
age over a bale and half of cotton
to the plow this season, and our
town received $500 bales of cot
ton against $1,000 bales in 1914.
However, with large peanut
crop our collections have been
better this fall than we have had
in several years, and our deposits
have increased $4,000 since Sep
TENDER lst.
| The streets have been filled
with peanuts, for the past ninety
days, and this crop has taken the
place of cotton. We have in con-
nectlon with peanuts, large hog
crop which will necessarily come
when the land is planted in pea
nuts.
The farmers who planted pea
nuts this year have all made mo-
ney, and we are all pleased with
the results. The oil mill here has
been crushing peanuts for three
months, and will run until late
next spring. The manager of the
mill is very enthusiastic over the
proposition and is making money.
They are paying $500 per ton
today.
If there is any other informa-
ton that can give you, kindly
let me hear FROM you.
Yours truly,
L. H. Sessions, Cashier.

ROBERT w. CHAMBERS
MAKES DISCOVERY

Broadway den of home-seek-
ers. Robert w. Chambers saws
so. In a remarkable interviews,
the famous novelist defends the.
character of New York play
girl. He says in part:
in every age there have al
ways been the young "play-giris. !"
We notice her more today be-
cause she is better crossed, more
sure of herself, more convinced
that her way is right and that
play is essential.
But | find as I study these
young people that not all is de-
sire for gayety, for personal beau
ty and comfort and brightness
there is the old dominating inn
pulse to mate. Indeed often it is
the desire for this very thing that
leads these young people to-
Broadway; but what they want is
a home, the safe retreat, the nlaR
that belongs to them, the child
that needs them"
There is a profound truth In
Mr.. Chambers gallant defense
the fundamental instinct to love
and to mate. Mr.. Chambers has
always thoroughly exemplihed
this in his fiction, and never SCI
we'll perhaps as in his latest novel
"The Dark Star" appearing liz
COsmODOlitan Magazine.

Trade Commission Thinks
Publishers Must Be Cautious

Washington, March l0.-News print
paper price arbitration undertaken by
the Federal Trade commission will
succeed, in the opinion OF the COM
mission only if publishers practice the
closest economy in the use of paper.
Blank agreement forms sent to pub
fishers throughout the country today
inform them that to benefit by the
price fixing plan they must not only
consent to relinquish S per cent of
their paper requirements, but must
agree to discontinue return privileges
and must buy additional paper only
to meet the most urgent needs.
The commission expects to 60
ahead with its plans as soon as
enough publishers come into the
arrangement to make it practicable.
The price fixing proposal, as advance
ed by manufacturers, will be
operative for six months. The COM
mission has set price OF $3.50, but
in its notice to publishers says this
price will be tried first for three
months and then if found too low,
will be readjusted.
To insure that small publishers get
paper, the commission is working on
a plan under which manufacturers
will sell to them first the paper re-
leased by large publishers.
