Plant Peanuts

In this issue will be found the
advertisement Of the Refuge
Cotton OH Company of. Colum-
bus, Miss, in which they offer
to buy White Spanish peanuts
for fall delivery. The company
realizes after several years ex-
perience with the boil weevil
that they can no longer rely upon
a cotton crop for seed and have
therefore equipped their mill to
crush peanuts. Experience with
peanuts has proven profitable to
both the growers and the mills
and with the boil weevil condi-
tion as it is sour people should
plant q large acreage in peanuts.
Already number of our farmers
east of town have set apart a
certain acreage to be planted in
peanuts and we hope that this
acreage will be made as large as
possible. Plant the White Span

iety at the highest possible price.

Washington, Jan. l8,-Contracts for
armor piercing navy projectiles of the
Ia and l6-ineh type, totalling $3,l4l,0OO,
yesterday were awarded by Secretary
Daniels to the Hadfields Limited, the
English munition company. Bids from
American firms were more than 5000 a
shell in excess of that submitted by Had
fields. In announcing the award, Daniels
said the department had made every eff
fort to secure reductions in prices which
would enable it to give contract to an
American concern, but had failed to OBJ
tain satisfactory bids.
The question of delivery aside from
cost Of the shells was an important fac
tor in favor OF Hadfields. On the $500
l4-inch proiectiles delivery was guaran-
teed in 10 months and for the 5000 l6-

General Sporting Notes.

Another man has jumped into the
limelight and put in bid for the man
agerial berth of the Bridgeport Hustlers
of the Eastern league. This time it is
no other than Hugh Bradley, a former
member of the Boston Red Sox and last
year with the Columbus club of the
American association. 1t is reported that
he would like the job providing every
thing could be arranged to his satisfac-
ton. Bradley states that he thinks ev-
erything can be fixed up with Manager
"Joe" Tinker of the Columbus club if
things can be arranged so as to give
him the position at the helm of the
Bridgeport team. Providing Bradley
should get the berth at Bridgeport, he
would cover the initial sack.
Napoleon Laioie, for the last 20 years
one OF the greatest ball players in the
ranks of the major leagues has finally
worked out of the big show and will
probably be seen as manager of the Tor
onto club of the International league
next season. The other day Lajoie met
Arthur Irwin in New York City and
held a long tanning bee with the former
New York leader. Irwin was the man
who first put Lajoie to the front and
gave him his chance to play big ball. 1t
so happened that in 1896 Irwin, who was
then manager of the New York Giants,
was in Fall River and saw Lajoie play,
and also an outfielder by the name of
Grier. He Immediately signed them up
and took both along to New York. Upon
arriving in New York, he told Andrew
who was at that time presi-
lent of the New York club about the
purchase which he had made. Irwin

man at the Polo grounds in August,
1895, and proceeded to knock out tre-
mendous home run drive on his first ap-
pearance at bat. Laioie has been hitting
the horse hide with that same sting ever
since. For years, Lajoie was about all
that the Cleveland club had in the line
of offense, as he was the only player
hitting in the 800 class. During the last
two years, he has been covering second
base for "Connie" and there are few OF
the boys who can do the work which the
d veteran has been doing since he went
to the Philadelphia Americans.

COAL FAMINE THREATENS.
Situation in Chicago Made More Serious
BY Chesapeake & Ohio Embargo.

Chicago, Jan. ls.-Efforts were being
made yesterday by coal dealers, rail
roads, mine owners and public officials
to relieve a situation which threatened a
fuel famine. The situation was aggra-
waited somewhat by the announcement of
an additional embargo by the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad on all coal shipments
from West Virginia.
Previously the Norfolk & Western and
the Baltimore & Ohio had announced
such embargoes, the result being it was
said, that shipment of 30 per cent of the
coal used to heat the city's apartments
and office buildings and hospitals was
at standstill. The roads asserted that
the junction terminals in Ohio were in
adequate to handle the traffic pouring in
on them.
Railroad presidents here are TO be
asked to use all the motive force of their
roads for at least 4S hours to bring coal
to Chicago. The request will come from
the Illinois state public utilities commits
sion. which has notified the railroad ex-
ecutiyes to appear before the commission

WANTS LEGISLATION
TO PROTECT STATE
This Is Necessary if Receiv-
ership Becomes a Per-
manent Thing

Boston Jan. lS.-The need of legisla'
ton to confirm contracts and agreements
made by the state with the Boston &
Maine railroad prior to the filing of re-
ownership proceedings in the federal
court, was pointed out yesterday by
Atty. Gen. Henry o. Atwill in his an
nual report to the legislature.
The appointment of permanent re-
ceiyer, the attorney general held, would
make it possible for the Boston & Maine
to ask the courts to declare void certain
OF its leases of other roads and all con-
tracts to which it is party.
II was brought out in the report that
the state owns S5,400,000 of the bonds of
the Boston & Maine issued in payment
for stock of the Fitchburg railroad; that
prior to the construction of Commercial
pier in this city on which the state ex-
pended more than S4,000,000, contract
was made with the Boston & Maine and
New York. New Haven & Hartford rail
roads guaranteeing the same freight
rates to the pier as TO others owned by
the TdllTOhuc anu ljidt the toii Oub
of this contract is absolutely vital.
Atty. Gen. Atwill suggested that the
legislature consider the advisability of
providing that the privileges contained
in the reorganization act of 1915 be made
conditional on the performance of the
present contracts of the Boston 4 Maine
with the state.
1t also was recommended that the leg
islature place further restrictions upon
the investments by savings banks, the
attorney general stating that in 1912

den Railroad corporation. "a corporation
which never became a railroad in fact,
