PEANUT MARKET IS
WITHOUT A LIMIT

Editor of The Journal:
Please allow me to heartily com
mend The Journal for the good worl,
you are doing, through your columns.
in calling to the attention Of our
farmers the Importance of raising
cash crops such as velvet beans. soya
beans, peanuts and cotton and the
valuable helps you are giving them
in this connection. You can rest as
sured that this educational campaign
will bear fruit hundred fold. The
salvation of our country is to raise
diversified money crops, for which i
ready and profitable market is OBJ
tainable. The Possibilities of the pea
nut as a profitable cash crop is claim
ing much of our attention just now
and rightfully so. Although the pea
nut has been with us a long time,
we in the southland, have just recent
ly discovered its worth and during
the past year or so they have been
grown in our section rather extensive
ly with satisfactory results. be-
heve the peanut industry has come
~ S@dS. 1hSIS Is an ever lECTedS-
ing demand for peanut oil as a food
product and the peanut meal is in a
class with cotton seed meal as a stock
and dairy feed. Our plant here is
equipped to handle peanuts and man
ufacture peanut oil. We bought pea
nuts extensively the past season and
the average price we paid was about
$500 per ton. 1t is no longer a
question of whether there will be
enough peanuts to supply the market
demands. We will certainly be in the
market for peanuts next season.
Peanuts do best on we'll drained
light gray sandy loans, and as We
have this very kind of soil in thi:
county, we should be able to grow this
crop with very successful results
4 There is but one variety of peanut
for the oil industry, and that is tht
! white Spanish. There is ten time,
the demand for this than there is fol
any other variety. From practica
experience it has been found posi-
BILE to produce $50 bushels per acrt
with favorable conditions and heav,
fertilization. However, the averag
yield is about 35 to 40 bushels pc
acre. We have limited supply o

What is wrong with the pacifists that
not even yet-despite their months and
years of practice-are they able to hold a
peaceful meeting? What is wrong with
the doctrine of David Starr Jordan to turn
the other cheek and then turn back the
other, that som one should mistake it for
a call to battle?
Such a noble, sacrif. cling resolution as
the one proposed by the Emergency Peace
Federation in New York the other day,
that overt acts "however brutal do not
afford cause of war, could not even be
passed without furious fists flying. Some
pacifists thought the resolution went too
far.
For shame, gentlemen! If the pacifists
fight among themselves, the Germans
won't think they are cowal dizing the
United States.

Take Your Choice
Did it ever occur to you that buyers
choose the store that advertises?
Most people pass right by the store
that's behind the times and patronize
the modern up-to-date store where
all the latest and best methods of do
ing business are in use. The store
that is up-to-date is the one that
advertises. The very atmosphere
about the store is reflected in the an
nouncements, for advertising suggests
modern methods-pragress, good
merchandise and a cheerfulness in
making suggestions for the busy buy

think what is needed. Then again

A notice is published in this issue
of The Gazette asking all who are
ready to respond to their country's
call for troops, when it shall come,
to communicate with Attorney Giles
F. Lewis. Mr.. Lewis and others are
ready to organize a company and
have it in shape as soon as the call
for troops comes. The proposed COM
pany will not be a branch of the ma
tional guards, but will be a company
for actual service and will not be
called out unless the actual need ex-
lists. This is an opportunity for the
patriotic manhood of Santa Rosa

try, and at the same time have the
distinction of being one of the first
if not the first volunteer companies
to be enlisted from the state.-Miltor

THE HONOR SYSTEM.

Regulations proposed by the govern
ment and accepted by the principal press
associations of this country, establishing
voluntary censorship, have shorn the pa

of today is governed by higher principles
than it was in 1898 when the war was
made an excuse to sell wild extras, and
there is little doubt but that the code will
be universally observed throughout the
country. Non-observance would indeed

proposed new Jail were presented to
the Board oi Supervisors this after

sets were submit ted, one to cost about
$4,000. and to Ne built on the unit

for a $4,000 structure with accommo-
dations for about 1875 prisoners.
The latter plan, which will allow
segregation of the prisoners accord
ing to modern penal methods is favor
ed by Sheriff Chas. M. Applestill.
Separate quarters for felony, misdeam-
nor, female and juvenile prisoners are
provided in this, and in the opinion Of
the sheriff will be adequate for long
time to come. The absolute neces-
sity for immediate action in refer
ence to new Jail facilities are admitted

of soliciting the active assistance of

directors and the directors of the ir-

Much discussion among the direc-

the work of obtaining signatures to

this work, so that the elec-
ton could be called as soon as pos
sible and the improvement work pro-
vided for by the bonds started, was
admitted by the assembled officials,
and it was agreed that the petition
should be signed Immediately in or
der to expedite the necessary i'm
provement work. 1t is planned that
each mutual company will be respon-
sible for getting the owners of real
estate in its own district to sign the
petition and reports are to be made
of the progress of this work to head
quarters as frequently as possible. so
that the names may be checked up
with the district assessment roll. The
fact that there are many nonresident
owners Of Valley property makes it
more important that every real estate
owner in the Valley should be ap-
preached to obtain his signature to

With the acceptance of the. outfall
sewer by the city trustees the cities
of Ell Centre and Imperial come into
possession of one of the most COM
plete drainage systems In the country.
Experts on sanitation who have ex-
amined it declare that it embodies the
best engineering features of the most
modern and proven. successful drain
age systems.
Nearly 10000 feet in length is the
sewer and over twenty-seven miles
of brick and vitrified pipe constitute
the network of tunnels so essential to
the health of the Valley. The sys-
tenn, exclusive of the septic tank and
connections, represents an outlay of
$2O6,19. The septic tank at the ter
minus of the tunnel where it de-
bouches into New river, at the end
of the Laurel canal, cost in the neigh
torhood of $4,000 additional. The
expense of the entire system has been
divided between the City of Ell Gen.
tro and the City of Imperial, on a
basis of three-fifths by the former
and two-fifths by the latter. The mon-
ey was provided by bond issue. The
cost of maintenance will be pro rated
on the same basis.
The contract for the work was
awarded in November, 1915, ana the
