Peace Must lnaugurate
Free Trade Thru Void

LONDON, Oct. 1.-Commenting on the
phrase in President Wilson's reply to the
popc's note, in which he said that mo peace
can rest securely upon political or eco
nomic restrictions meant to benefit some
nations and cripple or embarrass others.
upon vindictive action Of any sort. or any
kind Of revenge or deliberate injury The
Economist says:
I'm other words the power which must
be recognized a. speaking with the weight
lest voice in the councils of the allies has
brushed aside all the utilities of the Paris
conference and shown u the way Ia a
% ace which shall not be inaugurated by
the raising of trade barriers all over the
world but by a real extension of free trade
and Of cooperation between nations for the
welfare of mankind. In view of
the scarcity of food and raw materials that
will face Us when the war is over, any
measures that will imply restrictions on
our imports of these essentials to indus
try would be a blunder that might seriously
handicap our industrial recovery.
president Wilson'S peace promises u a
world in which mankind may be united
into one great ~throbbing hive Of industry, in
which the best workers will win battles by
out the best stuff, and the worlds

quickened To an extent %uhdreamed Of

can mills, however, are not getting the best

The departments advice i not to sub

BY making it "A part Of a well balanced

areas of serious bell weevil depreciation as

farmer need not hesitate Ia plant a some

HELPING THE OIL MEN.


Practically no peanut oil was made III
this country prior TO 1915, and 80 far the
oil mill men had not been benefited: but i:
was brought TO their attention that the
United States, in 1914, was importing L.
33o los gallons If peanut oil, and 44.549.-
$50 pounds Of nuts. More than half OF
the oil went To Chicago and presumably
went into oleomargarine, and the lower
grades into soap. The oil brought more
than cotton seed oil. A few changes in the
oil mills, having to do largely with the
cleaning Of the peanuts, and they were
ready for the extraction, and the peanuts
began to rome to them. Recently, there
has been such "A demand for the nuts them
selves for manufacture into products
elsewhere, that the mills nave not been
doing much extraction because they could
make more handling the nuts themselves
than they could by selling the extracted
product. A single manufacturer of peanut
butter, for example, uses more than 200
carloads Of shclled nuts a year and cx-
poets soon TO 20 To 500 carloads.
Bakers use immense quantities IN cakes
and confcctions. and il l. stalled that many
a chocolate cake j. coated with a mixture
Of which peanuts form u considerable part.
With imports cut eff by the war. prices
are high and give "A present large impetus
to growing peanuts: and even at present
prices for cotton. peanuts are more profit
able where there i serious depreciation by
the weevil.
WHERE PEANUTS EXCEL.
The South has a great deal of sandy
soil. and in many sections corn s~uccumb-
To the dry weather just at the time when
IL most needs moisture. Such soils in such
sections furnish just the right conditions
for peanuts. which require less rain than
corn. If the peanut could choose ITS own
bed, it would pick these sandy lands at
Just the right place.
Furthermore. the peanut improves these
lands. If proper methods are maintained.
Of course. if the pea vines are removed
for hay. and the roots are wholly dug out
IN harvesting the crop. they will exhaust
the soil just IA any other crop will. where
everything i taken away and nothing =
returned. Ii l. "A fortunte circumstance
however. that the nuts themselves grow
Just below the surface of the ground. while
the nodule- bearing roots 90 considerably
deeper. A pillow digger which will 20 lust
below the nuts and cut the root, off at
the point leaving the nitrogen bearing part

fled potato digger also used In harvesting
the crop. Even ii a good many nuts are
lost BY cutting the moff too close. the nj

Is said TO be worth from 80 to 50 an acre,
and it would take a good many peanuts to
make up this value. II hogs are turned in
even these peanuts are saved and are
turned into bacon, while their manurlal
value goes back into the soil.

AMERICAN CITIZENS
IN DEATH-GRAPPLE
The Liberty Loan Is the Prime Guar
antee Against National
Disaster.

War, bloody and desperate, has
been brought home to every Ameri-
can. Circumstances have so shaped
themselves that, whether we like it
or not, we are grappled in a vicious
struggle with the most formidable
power the world has ever seen arise
with a ruthless sword in its hand.
The United States has invited
either disaster or victory. Which
will it be? No workman, no farmer,
no villager, no wealthy recluse can
escape. Every one is right up
against this war.
Not even by shutting his eyes can
the fool or the foolhardy escape
the fact that we have got to go
down to defeat and pay huge war
indemnities to victorious Germany
for the redemption of our sea trade
and of our crushed allies, or rise
to victory.
Victory did not come to powerful
Britain, nor to heroic France. Nor
will it come to US without paying
the cost.
The cost of victory over German
militarism is the loss of many Am
erican lives, of much American trea-
sure and the sacrifice of luxury and
ease by those at home.
The president makes an initial
call for a $4,000, 100000 loan. This
money must come from the wide
public. 1t must come from you. 1t
must come from current and addi-
tional savings. 1t must come in
small units from millions of Ameri-
cans.
The solemn nature Of the duty
that prompts every decent Ameri-
can to subscribe for a Liberty Loan
bond will presently be manifested
in blood. 1t is a blood sacrifice on
the altar of liberty.
Your neighbours home, perhaps
your home will be in mourning for
sacrificed son. The American
casualty lists will tell the CHASTITY
story of unquenched, if not un-
quenchable, German lust for power
through slaughter. Terrible hard
ships will be endured before victory
energies and the world is safe
again for Democracy.
To insure that we shall not pass
through this fire in vain and that
disaster will not ultimately befall,
let us back up our soldiers by loan
ing the United States government
our savings from fresh economies.
Democracy will cry "shame" upon
those who shirk their Liberty Loan
duty.

KENTvCKY'S QUOTA IN

Kentucky quota in the next Of
fcers' training camp will be 377
men, while that of Indiana, with
which it is grouped in the Ninth
Division, will be 44S. The second
camp will be held from August 81
to November 26, and will be held
at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Prefer
ence to men have passed their
thirty first birthday will be the poll
cy of the War Department in select
ing men for the second camp.
Much emphasis will be laid on
this point in order to secure exper-
fenced men. The minimum age limit
is set at 20 years and 8 months, but
it will be difficult for a man under
81 to qualify, unless he has pre-
eminent qualifications or consider
able military experience. Since the
special object of these camps is to
train body of men fitted to fill the
more responsible positions of COM
mand in the new armies every effort
will be made to select men of ex-
ceptional character and provd abil-
