CHAPTER x.

The kaiser's Appraisal of Public Men.
No one ever speaks to the kaiser I'M
til addressed. AS that monarch's opin-
ions on most subjects are firmly fixed
and he will stand no opposition, any
erroneous idea he may entertain is
very apt to remain with him. His adj
vtsers were apt to leave him in error
rather than arouse his ire by attempt
ing to set him right. But for the fact
that he was very fond of asking innu-
merable questions, his store OF infor-
nation might have been extremely
scanty.
with him he frequently expressed his
views of men who were in the public
eye. Upon what basis they were
founded he did not always enlighten
me, but even when knew them to be
! erroneous realized it was useless to
try to change them and did not often
take Issue with him. When / did his
eyes would flash fire, but / had ex-
pected that and continued just the
same.
The kaiser always seemed to take
a particular interest IN American af-
fairs, and while he professed to de-
spise our form of government he
watched very carefully the careers of
our public men. 1t is not unlikely that
he imagined, as / have pointed out
elsewhere in these pages, that he could
influence our elections by swinging
| the German-American vote in favor of
/ the candidate he preferred, and he
made study of our public men in
order that he might know which of
them would be more desirable in office
from the German viewpoint.
When Mr.. Wilson was nominated for
the presidency, the kaiser was quite
| positive that he wouldn't be elected
Perhaps the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
for whom at that time the kaiser had
| the greatest admiration, was one OF
Mr.. Wilson'S rivals, blinded him to the
strength which elected Wilson. but the
fact that the latter had had little ex.
perience in international politics un-
fitted him, in the kaiser's estimation
for the important office for which he
| WAS EuunluS. /.
1 saw the kaiser shortly after Mr.
Wilson's election.
81 am very much surprised at the
result of your election" he declared
Il didn't think your people would be
so foolish as to elect a college profes.
sor as president What does a profes.
sor know about international politics
and diplomatic affairsT
| / haven't the slightest doubt that
the kaiser pictured our president as
counterpart of the typical German
professor-a plodding, Impractical, I'M
ambitious bookworm with no hope OF
desire of ever earning more than S1,OOC
year and no yearning for public &C
claim, recluse, absent-minded and
self-centered, who spent the midnight
oil porting over musty volumes and
paid little or no attention TO what was
going on around him! Such a man
the kaiser undoubtedly believed, the
| United States had elected as its CHIEF
executive and his surprise was more
or less natural in those circumstances
When Wilson sent 5000 men to Vera
| Cruz the kaiser felt that he had ex
ceeded his rights.

the internal affairs OF MeSicoT he

Doctor Davis gives a most in
innate view of the German
crown prince In the next INSTALL
ment of his remarkable reveIa-
tions. He tells how the future
ruler of Germany displayed the
greatest physical cowardice
when he was receiving treatment
and how he seemed utterly I'M
able to grasp the serious aspects
of the war. Doctor Davis char
acter sketches of the crown
prince and the kalser's other
sons form one of the most inter-
estina parts Of his narrative.

l<sA NICKEL'S worth of peanuts
/ ~ on holidays is grand insti-
tuition, but the peanut as q
lifesaver has had little or no atten-
tion in this country" says Mr.. Frank
Baackes, Vice President and General
Sales Manager Of the American Steel
e Wire Company.
"Meal made from hulled peanuts
contains over Al per cent crude pro-
TEN and is more valuable than cotton
seed meal. Peanut meal, which is
made of unshelled nuts, contains %
per cent protein and % per cent fibre.
Even this mixture is higher in pro-
tein than most dairy feeds.
THE peanut is in its infancy. We
|are now growing about two million
acres Of this crop. which ought to
yield something like fifty million
bushels. The crop of 1916 was double
that of 1909 and the price is going
higher.
This development is due largely to
the improvement Of machinery. Pea
nut hay alone will pay the entire cost
of production.
! Most of the factories making pea
nut products are located in Virginia,
but Texas, Alabama and Florida are
each producing more peanuts than the
Old Dominion, and their commercial
clubs should see that localities where
peanuts are particularly prolific are
provided with factories.
I'VE eat perhaps rs per cent of the
total crop, either roasted or sailed or
in CONNECTIONS. Perhaps ten million
pounds are made into peanut butter
every year, and let me tell, you that
peanut butter is the most highly nutri-
tious food we have because it contains
one and cne-half times as much pro-
TEN, over three times as much fat,
and over three times as much fuel

1--WE have been importing from Eu,
rope several million gallons of peanut
oil every year, but war conditions
have awakened US to our own ability
to make four or five million gallons
more at home. The low grades make
fine soap.
"If you want to eat the finest confec-
ton ever devised, make Saratoga po-
tatoes in peanut oil instead of lard.
eve make most of our peanut oil
from the unshelled nuts. which has an
earthly taste. which makes It a poor
table oil. Besides. the shells will abb
sorb a great deal OF our oil-maybe
five or ten gallons for every ton Of
peanuts crushed without Smelling. but
when the oil is made from shelled
nuts which are blanched, de-germed
and thoroughly cleaned before being
pressed. most people would prefer 1t
to the kind of olive oil which we have
been getting.
Peanuts are great hog feed, al.
though they make the meat soft and
the lard oily unless supplemented by
corn or other concentrates-but how
the hogs love them! We ought to be
able to raise four hundred pounds Of
pork per acre by using q movable
fence in the field.
I'VE grow about twenty million dol;
lars worth Of peanut hay. We ought
to have at least twice that much, and
I hope to see as much attention given
to this wonderful crop as there has
been to alfalfa. i
Every county IN the South where
there is county agent should have
a peanut organization. The North
will be glad to buy all that is not fed
at home. 1t is sure money crop to
take the place of cotton where the boil
