PEANUT NOW HAS A
 PLACE IN THE SUN
(Minneapolis JournaD

NMlllHtdpOllS JOul lldIJ
 The American peanut, which till re- cent years was held by those who con- stunned it at five bag" as a confection and a joke, has risen to the dignity of a food, and a first class food at that, taking place in the pantry along side of corn and wheat. In the cot ton belt it has filled the empty cot tonseed oil barrel. where the boil weevil has ravaged the fields, and incidentally has turned the cotton farmer from his destructive one crop system of tillage to a sane diversified program.
 In Texas where the boil weevil has done it's worst, they have planted this year 600,00 acres of peanuts, or twice the acreage of last year. Georgia plant ed this year 400, 900 acres, as against 190000 last year; and the entire south planted this year more than 2000 900 acres, as against less than 1,250,000 last season.
 The peanut produces not only food for man, but grain and forage for stock. Peanut hay is equal to clover and alfalfa as a forage; while hogs are fattened on the nuts which they harvest themselves, making as high as 400 pounds of meat to the acre.
 As human food the roasted peanut is said to be an almost complete ration, while peanut oil is now one of the de- pendable sources of the vegetable oils that are compensating for the growing shortage of animal fats. Cottonseed oil has already become Q favorite short ening in the American kitchen, and much of the so-called olive oil We.use is squeezed from the peanut.
 The peanut in this year of WIT is bringing up the fat reserves, and in no poor way either, for it furnishes a perfect substitute for lard. As butter the ground peanut is rapidly coming into popular favor and is driving con- siderable amount of dairy butter off the American sandwich.

WANT ROAD ACT ID SYSTEMATICALLY

Believing that the present federal aid road act should be amended in that the secretary of agriculture could ap- prove of projects which might not re- late exclusively to post road service but would provide for military needs and interstate commerce, the Ameri- can Automobile Association at the re- cent meeting of its executive board in New York City, decided to call upon the president and the congress of the United States to enlarge the scope of the road act in such manner as ulti mately to produce systematically maintained road system
 Commenting upon the matter. Chair man George c. Diehl of the A. A. A. good roads board thus presents the situation:

This identifi- cation system is that each soldier shall wear about his neck, and un- derneath his. clothing, a small alum mum tag giving his name and com pany.

Both in Washington and abroad the records will be kept up shall be prompt handling of all cas- ualty lists. The foreign branch of the statistical division will have the fighting forces listed by regiments as well as alphabetically. When the names of soldiers figure in official dispatches. duplicate sets of records kept at Washington will afford quick reference The policy will be to an nounce promptly upon arrival all of ficial news relating to casualties and relatives of soldiers wounded or killed will be advised by the statisti cal division.

MUCH IN AMERICA
 NOT YET EXPLORED
(Minneapolis Tribunel

Undoubtedly most Americans think of the continent they live upon as one explored and tanned. They go west and find most of the west in some ways more civilized than the east. They read of the wondrous adventure of the pioneers and marvel that the buffalo should once have roamed Iowa and the Apaches at tackled Denver. Some of the more adventurous and imaginative perhaps heave sigh of regret that they were born too late to share in the glory of winning the west.
 These adventurous minded might have a look at the map of Canada The Canadian rockies are today al- most exactly as our Rocky mountains were at the time Lieutenant Fremont discovered" them-that is, most of the region is known to few trap pers and hunters, and very little of it has been really explored and studied. Especially is this true of the great northwest territories and of much of Alberta. The headwaters of the Athabasca are almost un- known, and in Peace river valley you can find country as wild as any your forefathers saw. There is wealth in
 
 eral and timber.
 Every summer some Americans who love the trail and the smell or wood smoke go into the wilderness just for fun, but a wilderness it is sure to remain until new lines of transportation are perfected. At that Peace river, is much nearer New York today than the Rio Grande was fifty years ago.
 Hondo canyon is in the Sangre de Cristo range of mountains, in northern New Mexico, not more than twenty miles south of the Colorado line, but it is infinitely remote from the well advertised and tourist trodden Rockies of the latter state.
 The Hondo is typical of the region. At it's mouth it is a flat little valley with steep, arid sides. All of the bot tom lsnd is woven into a beautiful patchwork of alfalfa, chile and bean fields and little orchards. The houses cluster together, brown and flat and sleepy in the sunshine. Along the creek tall cottonwoods and willows bend and weave in plumey grace.
 Go a mile or so up the canyon and you leave this sleepy rural atmosphere behind The canyon narrows into a ] NeIlidDlG tIedSe, smut III by Slttp ridges, heavily forested. The wide creek churns itself into a strip of white 1 foam as it rushes down its steep bed once in a long while pausing to eddy about in a deep pool, where you can see the big speckled trout in the clear ! still water
 | In all the length of the canyon, which is a good twenty five miles, you will ! find no signs of human habitation eX- | cept one cabin and a mining claim. l The cabin has history. It was built | by man from the east who made l his living by writing and modestly ad- mitted that he was a genius. He said | that he was going to spend the winter | in the mountains in order to find | himself"
 He spent the winter, all right, be- cause when the SHOWS came down twelve feet deep he could not get out and had to burrow to his woodpile What kind of a self" he found up there in the white silence of the snow bound canyon only he knows, but il is certain that he came out a changed mana man of smaller ego and great CT fGrbearance.

sectional boundaries. Hence it is enN tirely logical that the federal aid road act, through which the national gov ernment cooperates with the several states, should . be amended in such manner as to give to the secretary of agriculture the widest latitude in ap- proving the projects which are sub mitted to him by the state highway departments.
 Tt is true that present roads con-

struction must be done at an increased cost. but the loss would be far greater to the country at large if highways work were stopped entirely. which has been suggested in some quarters but which l believe will be given up. now that the great possibilities of main ar tery highways are becoming apparent to every citizen who wants to see the war brought to its earliest conclusion through employing every source of CO.,

operation in our great country.
 We must even bring about the maintenance of the highways in the northern states during the indictment winter months. which means that snow removal has become a factor not to be disregarded. It is my belief that New York state will carry out definite plan in this connection which can be emulated in other states handicapped by similar winter conditions"

PRISON LABOR USED FUR BUILDING
 HIGHWAYS

Many state and cOUu.y administra- tions are utilizing prison labor in road work. Governor Brough of Arkansas has just announced that 75 to 100 con- victs will be used continuously on road work in his state. A sentiment is growing in favor of imprisoning all vagrants and placing them at work on county highways. This method of utilizing prison labor where it is con- ducted under proper conditions, nas all ways had the indorsement of the na tional committee on prison labor, and a provision for road building has been incorporated in the prison labor bill. An important feature is that of requiring the payment of a wage to the prisoner. Such a wage will make it possible for the prisoner to con- tribute to the support of his dependents and at the same time will prevent un- fair competition with free labor The passage of the bill will give impetus to the movement for the employment of prisoners in road work and in other occupations affected by the national emergency.
 Ever since the United States entered the war the demand for utilizing the prison labor supply confined in the penal and correctional institutions of the country las steadily increased. Re- ports made to the national committee on prisons and prison labor show that the demand for this labor comes from practically every organization which has as it's purpose some work related to the prosecution of the war. Nation- al and state food, fuel, freight, farm, and fish commissions are seeking pri son labor. State and county commits sions are meeting to discuss the prob lem.
 Many of the proposals made will not be realized until the passage in con- sress of the prison labor bill introduced by Senator Hoke smith of Georgia and Representative Charles F. Booher of Missouri. This bill has been introduced through the efforts of the national committee on prisons and prison la bor and the American Federation of Labor to promote the use of prison labor in the war emergency and also to prevent exploitation of the prisoner.

WAR NEEDS INDUCED K|SSE[ ID MAKE
 A[L-YEAR LAB

"The war and the vital necessity of keeping goods moving, prompted Kis- sel to introduce his all-year cab so that full protection and warmth would be provided truck drivers in winter, enabling them to keep their trucks on the move the year around regardless of the weather" says H. w. Nerney of the KisselKar
 As every truck owner knows by ex- perience, unusual weather conditions make it physically impossible for his drivers to maintain uninterrupted de- livery and shipping schedules unless they are protected from the cold, snow or rain.
 Such protection eliminates trans portation tie-ups by enabling drivers to give all their attention to the proper handling of their trucks. In addition, by increasing the drivers efficiency, it helps to reduce operating cost to a minimum, and stops excessive wear and tear on the truck"
