NEW USE FOR OLD PAPERS.
United States Tire Company Sug
 gests Way Out of Mudholes.

United States Tire Company Sug- gests Way Out of MudhOles.
 4 resourceful motorist whose car
 has been stuck in the mud does not al- ways have to fall back on a pair of
 mules to get free. For such an emer-
 gency the United States Tire Com pany offers some suggestions that have proved valuable.
 The first calls for having stored away somewhere in the car d sack of old newspapers. When the car gets stuck and the wheels refuse to take hold, feed in some of the old papers between the tires and the mud. Usu- ally only few will have to be worked fin before the wheels will begin to grip and the car start forward. This method of handling difficult situa- tion is so simple and so uniformly | successful, than every motorist should know of it and carry pile of old newspapers, unless he is equipped with some other apparatus for such a contingency.
 Here is the other method suggested by the United States Tire Company: Put the car in low, and if you cannot 1. feed the gas with your foot evenly, so . that the wheels will revolve slowly, lput your emergency brake on. Do not put it on so that the wheels will not revolve at all, but tightly enough to keep them from revolving rapidly. With the wheels turning slowly, the maximum pull is delivered to them { by having the car in low gear, and so ! long as they turn slowly they can get the benefit of the tremendous power It is not always wise to fill the hole with stones or bricks, for their rough edges are hard on tires. Small branch es of trees are better, as they offer much better tractive space. Should this method fail, quite often a slight push that would not much more than move baby buggy will furnish just
 the added amount of power necessary
 to get the car going.

PEANuTs A yALUABLE cRoP.
Jim G. Ferguson Issues Statement
 Showing Value Production.

Jim G. Ferguson Issues Statement
 Showing Value Production. To the Farmers of Arkansas:
 Friends, do you realize that the peanut is valuable money crop? Arkansas farmers in 1917 and 1918 realized on an average $1.80 per bush- el for peanuts and the average pro- duction per acre was 30h bushels. The average value per acre in dollars of corn for 1917 and 1918 was $28.50; for wheat, S2S.44 for cotton, $47.33; for peanuts, $55.07.
 The peanut crop is productive from every standpoint of the farmer 1t can be profitably produced on large acreage of Arkansas soils. A ton of peanut hay is almost equal in feeding value to ton of clover hay. Peanut meal, which is the nut and hay all ground or chopped together, forms an almost balanced ration for dairy COW.
 The peanut is good for human con- sumption, it ranks high as feed for farm animals, it is an important ni- trogenous fertilizer, it is a source of an oil that is superior to cotton seed oil. The lack of freezing tempera- ture the past winter would indicate d visit from the boil weevil. Then, take warning, and don't "put all the eggs in one basket" this season.
 You may want to know the variety of peanuts to plant, the time of plant ing, the place to secure the seeds, etc. You are advised to plant only the white Spanish peanuts at the rate of 100 pounds for every two acres. They may be planted as late as June 15. They are put up in 100 pound sacks and will be sold at cost for cash at $8.50 per 100 pounds. Your county agent can tell you where to secure the seed or make application to J. H. Tull, SIS Southern Trust building, Little Rock, Ark.
 On account of the scarcity of cow peas the peanut may be substituted. The peanut may be fed to all the farm livestock except fattaning hogs. With the peanut as valuable food, feed, fertilizer and oil crop, and with home markets ana home manufactures to take care of the crop, there is every reason why Arkansas farmers should turn their attention to the production of this important crop.
 Very truly yours,
 Jim c. Ferguson, Commissioner.

KRUPPS MADE GUNS
FOR SO YEARS.. NOW
ARE TEXTILE WORKS

BERLIN. Jan. 11.-For nearly SO
years the Krupp Works have been
making big guns and shells and ar
NOR plate for Germany.
For so years the backbone of mill.
tarism in Germany has been the in
fluence of the Krupps.
Now the Krupps works are to be
turned into textile factories, so it is
announced.
The 100000 employees who have
been engaged on implements of war
will turn to products of peace.
The carrying out OF this program
is the best guarantee that Germany
will not again become a military pow
er.
Founded by Frederick Krupp at Es-
sen in 1910. the Krupp plant first
made such harmless things as mint
dies and stamps for buttons from
cast steel. The elder Krupp a a Sc
cret process for cast steel, which he
confided to his son. Alfred, before his
death.
Alfred Krupp's breech loading rifle
and cannon were adopted by the Prus-
sian army in 1861 and marked the
beginning of Krupp fame and German
power. The factory became
for its heavy ordnance and ar
plate.
The business was continued under
the control of Friedrich Alfred Krupp,
grandson of the founder until his
death in 1909 and then descended to
Krupp.
