not at all difficult. All they need is
room to play in, games and pastimes
planned ahead to fill up the time. some
one to supervise them and Christmas
goodies to eat. This last item in the
program of the Christmas party means
a great deal to them, but they are cas-
lily pleased.
The old fashioned games, blind

for the youngsters, but they will not
play at one game long. A fishing
pond pleases them and is easy to
manage. A lot of toys and trinkets
are wrapped in paper and tied up
sufficient number to provide some
thing for every child. Before the par

lent corner and curtain of some kind
hung across the corner to hide them.
Fishing poles with lines having

and each child casts his line over the

pressing, winding UP the run next
week. Twelve hundred tons of pea
nuts have been handled this season.
According to G. NJ Riley, manager,
the European demand for peanut pro-
ducts indicates a good price for the
next crop, and he is eager to see the
farmers of this community plant large
acreage this year. Inasmuch as the
peanuts on hand, from which seed is
obtained. will all be crushed next
week. he advises farmers to secure
their seed at once.
Experience has shown" said Mr.
Riley, that peanuts planted in June
produce the best of ALL They may be
planted successfully any time. up to
July and produce abundantly. There
has been good deal of talk here to
discourage peanut growing, but the
fact is that peanuts are as good a
money crop as any we have, and better
than most of the crops. They grow
proliically, and bring good prices. We
look for a good season for peanuts
