BASEBALL FANS TO
BE THE SUFFERERS
Shortage of Peanut Crop May Take
Some of the JOY from Base
ball Games.

Dallas, Texas, Feb. IA shortage
of peanuts has resulted from unfavor-
able weather conditions in Texas last
summer, according to dealers here.
b. W. Higgin botham, one of the lead
ing buyers, said the Texas crop this
year would be only % per cent of
normal.
The severe drought last summer
prevented farmers from raising more
than a small share of their usual crop.
The drought was followed by excess
sive rains that caused damage before
the peanuts had reached maturity
The government estimate showed
that 15,000 900 bushels of peanuts
were raised in Texas in 1917. One
section which in 1917 produced 1000
carloads this year produced only 500
carloads.
Conditions in east and south Texas
were better than in northwest Texas,
which heretofore has been the prin-
cipal district of production.

the opening half, while the visitors,
with defeat staring them played like
fiends. They succeeded in scoring
seven baskets in succession and, with

See that the incubator Is running

Turn the eggs twice daily after the
second and until the nineteenth day.
Cool the eggs once daily, according
to the weather, from the seventh to
the nineteenth day.
Turn the eggs before caring for the

NEW CLOTHES

Invoice your wardrobe care
fully and be sure you really need
every article you plan to buy.
For the articles to be replaced.
choose material in garments
which will harmonize with the
rest of your wardrobe. 1t is eco
nomical to buy fewer garments
at a time and to buy the best ma
terial one can afford.
In ready-made garments,
choose conservative styles that
they may be worn long time.
Select garments appropriate to
the use they are intended for and
suitable to your individuality. 1t
is economical to limit the num-
ber and variety of colors in your
wardrobe.
Standard materials Of good
grade, such as wool serge, broad
cloth, flannel, crepe de chine,
gingham, dimity, and percale,
are economical because they
wear well and are never out of
style.
If you have the time and abil-
ity, 1t is economy to make your
clothes or part Of them.
In buying ready-tO-wear un-
dergarments give preference to
simplicity in style and good
workmanship, because they wear
better and are easier to launder.
One garment Of good material
will outlast two cheaper ones
but 1t may be economy to buy
cheaper material for garments
worn only occasionally.
Buy after the rush season. Es-

required before buying. Select

The thrift of the French has always
