Where Peanuts Have Replaced Cotton
Last year Comache County, Texas,
which until few years ago had
grown hardly any commercial crop
except cotton, made more than half q
million bushels Of peanuts" says q
writer in the current issue OF Farm
and Fireside. This year there are
a dozen counties west and southwest
of Fort Worth that will produce from
a quarter to million bushels Of pea
nuts. That section hasn't any spec
ial monopoly on the peanut industry,
for they are being grown all over Tex
as and Oklahoma, but not on quite
such an extensive scale as in the To-
cality mentioned.
"The peanut is drought register,
and there is hardly a summer so hot
and dry that it will not make fairly
good crop. hen the dry, hot days come
it will wilt and look as if it was go
ing to shrivel up, but whenever q
rain comes it starts to growing and
putting on nuts again. It may be
planted from April until June, and Is
usually harvested in October or No
vember,'' n

CARELESSNESS AT
GRADE CROSSINGS SNOWY

In view of all the agitation which has
marked the safety-frst movement In
recent years it is rather surprising. to
say the least, to find that Of those
persons who pass over grade rail-
road crossings probably one-haf. OF
more, fail to look to the right OF
left before moving across the tracks.
This estimate is based on the report
ed findings Of Investigators for the
California Railway Commission. In
observing the drivers OF 1900 motor
vehicles it was found that over s.
per cent looked neither way before
crossing railway tracks. Somethins
over two per cent looked in one di,
rection only, while the remainder
less than % per cent, looked both &c
the right and left. OF $500 pedestri-
, ans 40 per cent looked neither way
and Is per cent looked only one way
1t is believed that these figures may
be taken as fairly typical Of the coun-
try as whole. They indicate both
the menace Of the grade crossing and
the need of educating both driver:
and pedestrians to greater caution

People Interested in This.

National prohibition is a matter OF
vital interest to many people in the
country. 1t was matter of such deep
interest to the prohibition societies OF
washington that they turned out by
the thousands when they were asked
to assist in one Of the scenes for ''The
Man Who Forgot" the latest World
Picture Brady-Made, in which pro-
hibition is an important factor. The
members of these societies are seen
parading to the capitol to aid q
national prohibition bill, which is
being urged by the hero of this new
drama. The members of the society
were delighted to give their services
for the picture and their appearance
in the drama is effective indeed. But
this film is filed throughout with
equally effective scenes and altogether
it is striking and very successful
production. "The Man Who Forgot
will be seen at the opera house on
Tuesday.

Why This Boy Will Stay On the Farm

Why This Boy Will Stay On the Farm
Here is a letter by a boy farmer to
Farm and Ffreside, the national farm
paper: 4
81 am a boy with a fairly good gram
mar-school education. I live N an
eastern Pennsylvania county, near a
small town. / am working on farm
at 81 day and am living with my
parents. They are both good to me.
1 save nearly all my money except
what goes for clothing. have a
small bank account which is steadily
growing. l do not intend to learn
trade, but want to be farmer.
These are the reasons like the
farm: First, because Of the pure air;
second, because I believe that a man
who owns a farm can be indepen-
dent; and third, because I believe he
can save money as we'll at farming as
he can at a trade. He raises a lot
of his own vegetables, fruit, meat, and
other things. and gets his wood free
I am therefore thorough believer
in farming"

COAT SUITS MAY
RETURN WITH SPRING
Norfolk and Box Coats Among the
Smart Models.

Norfolk and Box Coats Among the
Smart Models.
Accessories to Freshen Winter Fr0eks
New, York, February 26, 1917.
It has been a matter of conjecture
whether coat suits would return to
favor with the spring, or whether the
long coats by which women have
stood firm and steadfast all through
the winter would continue to satisfy
their needs in spring.
One would naturally conclude that
q coat suit in spring would be vel
coined by most women after the heavy
long coats Of winter But the Ques-
ton is still to be settled. In all pro-
liability there will be as many coat
suits as separate coats worn when
spring comes. Some very jaunty
models are being shown now, and
MANY of them have coats in Norfols
or semi-Norfolk effects with plain OF
pieated skirts.
The dresses suits are made Of silk
and satin with touches of embroidery
in the same or some contrasting color
The coats are generally midway be-
tween the hips and knees in length.
For sports wear there is no doubt
that hip-length coats with contrasting
skirts will be very smart, and there
will be more interest in sports clothes
this spring and summer than in any
other styles, if one may judge from
the present demand for them. Plaie
skirts with coats of a solid color hav
ing the collar and cuffs trimmed will
the plaid are considered exceedingly
chic. The striped and checked ma.
terials are employed in the same Eaj
With coats Of one color.

WOULD POSTPONE
BONE DRY STATE
Noon Suggests Deferring Vf Effective
Date. Claims Liquor Dealers Should
Have Opportunity to Adjust Their
Business. 80;


ment of the effective date of the
bone dry prohibition amendment
to the postofice bill adopted yester-
day, until October 1, 1917, is pro-
posed in a concurrent resolution in
troduced late today by Representa-
tive Moon of Tennessee, chairman of
the postoffice committee. Mr.. Moon
announced he would press it through
as soon as the postoffice bill itself is
finally disposed CT.
During debate on the amendment in
the house there were urgent appeals
on behalf of liquor dealers who ship
into dry territory that they be given
time to dispose of stock and readjust
their business. Prohibition leaders
turned deaf ears then, fearing that
any change in the provision as it
passed the senate might mean its de-
feat, but many Of them are disposed
to vote for postponement once the
bill has been sent to the president for
his signature.
The preamble of Chairman Moons
resolution says:
Should Give Them Time.
'SThe States which have passed
laws prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of liquors and the storing OF the
same within their borders have rec
ognized the fact that such business
mad therefore been legal and have in
view Of this by their enactments
given to dealers reasonable time
within which to dispose of their
stocks or remove the same from the
State before becoming effective OF
such laws. The course followed in
this respect is clearly right and just
and it would be manifest injustice
and would work great hardship for
the federal government to deprive
these parties of the rights guaranteed
by the States by immediate denial OF
interstate commerce for the ship
ment Of such liquors, which effect
will in it's present aspect automatical-
1y follow the enactment Of the prohl-
bition amendment"
More Work Today.
Differences between the house and
senate on other features Of the bill
be taken up in conference tomorrow.
The house rules committee agreed
today to consider tomorrow a special
rule to bring up in the house the
senate bill for prohibition in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The committee will
first have hearing and then an ex-
ecutive session to determine its ac-
ton. It Is said to stand eight to three
in favor Of the rule.
REPRESENTATIVE Gallivan Of Aassa-
chusetts introduced today a bill for a
prohibition referendum to the people
OF the District It is identical with the
Underwood amendment rejected by
the senate

Besides the Norfolk coats, the loose,
straight-hanging box coat is one OF
the models that promises to be very
much favored. Some Of these are
quite short. They are very stunning
made up in velvet and worn with
white serge skirts. Dark blue or old
rose velvet, with large white pearl
buttons for contrast, Is used for these
Not strictly Norfolk, but resembling
this style in many points, is the smart
model illustrated in the sketch. It
is of orange-colored wool jersey and
accompanies skirt Of black-and-
orange check, making an exceptional
ly smart costume. The coat is twice
belted. part of the lower belt form
ing straps at the top Of the large

around the sides only and leave q

pleated like the front.
To Freshen the Winter Dress.
There are many people who wish to
freshen up their winter clothes, be-
fore getting their spring things, for
it is still some time before the wealth
er will allow US to be comfortable in
spring clothes. Only those who have
been able to replenish their ward
robes vecy frequently throughout the
winter will not feel the necessity OF
adding new touches to their clothes.
There are now sets Of vests and col
lars and separate cuffs to match, or
matching collars and cuffs which will
do much toward making change in
a dress Of which you may have tired
These collars and cuffs are Of white
shaunting silk trimmed at the edges
with bands Of plain colored silk or the
dotted or figured silks. The band OF
colored silk adds bright touch
which is very refreshing. The fat,
rolled collar in sailor shape is still a
favorite. Some of the collars are
! made double; for instance, there Is a
lower collar of white silk and an up
per collar in green, rose, gold or any
of the fashionable colors, the same
shape, but smaller, so that an edge
of the white shows all around
