Mrs. Starnes says she did not take

with none of it in the shape of war taxes,
il they can help it. They are as shy of ex-
cess profits taxes as cat is of water. That
is why they are watching congress so
anxiously these days.
England is taking so per cent OF the ex-
cess profits of her big corporations. And
that is precisely what this country should
do.
War is not holiday It entails death
and suffering and expense and privation:
In democracy this burden should be
equitable distributed There should be no
specially privileged class When the senate
talks about foisting the burden of five
billions of taxes upon the consumers,
or upon the nation, it certainly favors
the corporations which have made huge
profits, and are still making them.
It does something which will meet with
the stern rebuke of the masses of the peo-
pie. Just as soon as they can express their
opinion at the polls, This nation is enlisted
for the war, and while it is fighting it is in
no mood for any special tenderness to the
prohteers.

One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Day

FORTUNE IN A PEANUT SHELL.

For ship to pay for itself on its first
voyage is not uncommon, but how often do
we hear of farms paying for themselves
with their first CROP
Yet that is preisecly what the 35O-acre
peanut farm of c. L. Cotton, in Santa Rosa
county, is doing, and there will be enough
left over to buy another farm Of the same
size
Mr. Cotton bought the place in March,
but he had so much clearing to do that
April was we'll advanced before he could
really begin the field work, and the aston
ishing results he has achieved are the tru1t
Cf only six months work.
BY the most conservative estimate ne
will clear from $50 to S15 an acre-with
the chances favoring tie latter figure,
Yet what Mr. Cotton has done is not ex-
ceptonal Anybody else can do as we'll by
following the same method. For peanuts
there is an increasing, an unsuitable de-
1nand, and the mill at Goulding furnishes
a local market. Last year the price was 81
wholesale, a bushel; this year it will be
lngher-$125, perhaps $50 And glut
is seemingly impossible.
The entire peanut crop Of the United
States was worth only eighteen million dol
lars; last year Texas sold over S28,OOO,OOO
in peanuts alone. This year it will be even
greater-production is being stimulated
by thousands of dollars of prizes, In other
states, too, is the staple being pushed.
Northern fnanciers will tell you that five
wear mortgages are redeemed in two, when
farmers devote themselves to peanuts.
A fortune in peanut shell is to be had
for the mere picking up.

Member Of Uncle Sans Flying Squadron
Describes His Sensations
BY Sergeant George Dodge
Omitted States Aviation School. Mineola,
New York;
Before war was declared, I was a
Cornell freshman, with no more idea
of enlisting than any other college
student had at that time.
But as soon as it became certain
that we had to fight Germany, l be-
gan looking around to see what
branch of the service I would rather
do my bit in,
1t was a cinch from the start that
I would go in foraviation. I had
been building model airplanes for
years, and besides that I was driven
by the sense of adventure that is in
every follow of nay age-I am less
than 20 nov-and l knew all the
BIG adventures of this war would
come to the flyers.
Besides, I knew that in the air
service you kept your individuality
and did not become simply a cog in
a big machine, as in some other
branches of the service, but if you do
make good, you have the satisfaction
of knowing that you did the stunt all
by yourself, and there is some chance
