the problem in Peanuts.
The Peanut
The Peanut crop offers wonderful
opportunities. It can be grown over
the entire South with profit.
II reaches its perfection In growth
and yield on we'll drained, gray, sandy

Plains along the Atlantic Seaboard,

There is constant demand at a

the peanut, for the reason that there
are hve avenues Of profit.
Five Avenues OF Profit
First: Progressive oil mills through
out the South are eager buyers of the
Peanut and offer q spot cash mar.
ket at very remunerative prices. The
oil Is In great demand.
Second. The nut and vines are
splendid feed for cattle, producing
quick growth OF Arm and tender meat
A profit In the sales OF cattle thus
fed and fattened is a certainty.
Third. The best quality OF peanuts

so that the fertilizer used may enable
the plant to grow most vigorously, and,
therefore, bring about the biggest
yields.
Vigorous Seed
The fundamental, good growing con-
ditions making possible the most Ell
fieient use OF plant foods, are good
seed, good seed bed and good culti'

All planting seed must have strona
vitality to terminate and grow rapidly,
Seed should also be OF a a,yariety adapt
ed to local conditions. Time and rate
OF planting must be given attention,
for either one OF these may very ma
terially effect the yield Of the crop,

is one OF the most noted women OF
this age and country. Born in
England of Scotch parents seventy
years ago, she was brought by her
parents to Lawrence, Mass, a. q
child of four. When she was
twelve her father sent his wife and
five children to hold a claim of 36O
acres in the wilds of Northern
Michigan There they managed
to live in the most primitive
fashion in a log cabin 100 miles
from a post office, and six miles
from the nearest neighbor,
At fifteen Anna was n school
teacher at 50. 90 per week aud such
board as could be had. Later on,
after the War, she went to the
High School IN Big Rapids. At
this time she was asked to study
for the ministry, and at the age Of
% preached her first sermon, and
duly licensed. In 1873 she entered
Albion College. which was 90 ed
ucational. In this Institution she
took a decided staud as an ad-
vocate Of equal rights. When
she was q she went to Boston to
study theology in a class of 43,
she being the one woman In this
big city she was lonely and pow
erty-stricken and had u hard time
keeping body and soul together.
But there was friend in need aud
she won out and graduated.
After a trip to Europe she settled
as pastor of the NJ. E Church
at East Dennis, Cape God, and
as n side line took up the study
of medicine, The NJ. e. Con.
ference refused to ordain her but
after strenuous endeavor on the
part of friends she was admitted
to orders in the Methodist
Protestant Church.
In 1885 she gave up her pas
torate and began 1ectnring for
the Massachusetts Suffrage As.
socistiOn and for Lecture Bureaus
She found this sort of work prO
fitahle as we'll as interesting
though by no means free from dan.
gers as well as hardship.
In 1883 she became associated
with Miss Susan b Anthony and

the Porsgrund Cement Works. The
ship Is built on an entirely new
system, with the bottom upward.
In which extraordinary position the

underlying sledge. which Elided
out with the ship. When the water
was reached the hull became de-

uaIly sank up to a certain point.
then subsequently slowly righted
itself
The ship, which is of 200 tons
burden, was built in three v0eeks.
but the next will only require about
half that time. as the original frame
will be used for each subsequent
ship OF the same size. The casting
Of the ship, when the frame is COM
pleted. will this time take only two

Gifts for Soldiers.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Could you possibly suggest
some kind OF an appropriate gift
to send a soldier at camp? Al
though I have known him for
years l do not care to send him
anything not in good taste.
Although know Thsnksgiv-
ing Is quite a ways on. and !
want IL as a Thanksgiving gift,
would greatly appreciate your
kindness II you would tell me
through tho columns OF the paper
a sensible gift. ANXIOUS.
A WOMAN who Is doing splendid
work for our soldier boys
tells me that goodies" are par
tIcularly welcome to the boys in
camp. And when l remember how
much a box" meant to all OF Us
in my college days can quite SYM
pathize. A delicious cake. jellies.
preserves and such things are well
como. Why don't you send a real
Thanksgiving boX-a roast chick
en- Ct turkey Is too bulky and too
costly. a mince pie, a jar of cram
berry jelly or any other dRinties
you feel like making. Good books,
nicely marked handkerchiefs. some
sort OF little mendinE kit. a writ
ing companion. with paper and
fountain pen-any practical gift
that will not be useless and in the
nature OF excess baggage" Is right
to send a soldier boy.
