Peanuts,

Peanuts are grown in the states of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.
 The nuts. are planted in May. They are planted in hills or rows, which are plowed and hood to keep out the weeds. They are harvested in the fall and left in the field for two weeks to dry.
 Then they are taken to flaming mill which fans off the dirt. They are then put in bags and shipped to Nor folk, the chief peanut market in the United States. From here they are shipped to the northern and western states and to Europe JOHN FOX, Age 12. Norwich.

Daniel.

Dear Uncle Jed: It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty princes, which should be the whole kingdom. There were three presidents; of whom Daniel was first; that the kingdom should have no trou- ble. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes. be- cause an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

General March was 53 years old last December. He graduated from West Point exactly 30 years ago and has since seen service all over the world. He played an inn portant part in the Philippines cam paign, where he commanded the forces that captured Gen. Venancio -Concep- cion, Aguinaldos chief of staff. and Aguinalos wife.

SEPARATE SKIRT TO BE WORN
Spring and Summer Demand for This
Favorite Garment Promises to
Far Exceed That Of Winter.

More than ever the separate skirt
has a definite mission In the we'll
dressed wOman's wardrobe. It has
been worn this winter under the heavy
coat and it is to be worn in the spring
and next summer with lingerie blouses
and sweaters Of silk or wool. Sepa-
rate skirts for spring will almost all
Of them be made Of silk. The con-
servation Of wool demands that wom-
en- use more silk and when climate
conspires with patriotism the task will
not be difficult. The new skirts are in
themselves so attractive that every
woman must desire them. They are,
of course, moderately scant, but there
is never anything shmpy looking about
them. OF course, there is much dra-
perry or plated fullness about the hips
in some Of them. In others the hips
are well defined and such fullness as
there is is secured by clever plaits and
sometimes by shirring or the use Of
hip yokes. All sorts of silks are used
in making these skirts. There are
some striped taffetas-the stripe Of
satin-that are especially attractive.
They are made in heavy quality and
not only always look crisp and fresh,
but will give good wear.

TO WEAR UNDER SUITC0AT
Sleeveless Jacket Admired by Many for
Wear In the South or as a Sum-
mer Sport Garment.

The little sleeveless jacket to be
worn underneath the suitcoat If de-
sired, or, If worn in the South or de-
signed for summer sports wear slipped
on over a tailored blouse, Is one Of the
popular modes Of the moment.
These jackets are made of wool jer-
sey cloth or of lightweight wool velours
usually, although they are correct in
corduroy, velveteen or satin.
One Of these jackets, Is very sim
pie affair, buttoning frankly in the CEN
ter front and held in with a belt Of
self-fabric. Occasionally little
"change" pocket Is let in at one side,
and some of the jackets are shown cut
double-breasted and finished with two
rows of buttons. The simpler ones
are, however, decidedly the smartest
and have the additional advantage of
being easy to make.
Another sleeveless jacket has been
christened the trench" vest. 1t con-
sists primarily of a panel front and
back, with opening through which the
head is slipped. 1t is open underneath
the arms, except at the waistline,
where a belt holds it to the figure.
This is the simplest Of all the models
to make, as a straight piece Of fabric
sufficiently long to reach from back to
front of the figure and allow six or
eight inches below the waistline is cut
out to form neck which may be plain
or finished with "Monk" collar, and
the whole is belted in as desired at the
waist.
Jackets that are semi-fitted, are,
however, smarter and in better taste.

sometimes the silks may be matched
so that details Of the pattern can be
