PEANUTS ONCE MORE

Heard an extensive farmer say he
had put in a good crop of peanuts
for 1919,-already planted He
has other crops, but another
average crop OF peanuts. He is wise
and will not regret having risked this
crop again Peanuts are going to
figure in the food stuffs demanded
in the summer and fall and there
will be reasonable market for them
as long as there is market for
anything. We have gone to the ex-
pense of providing machinery with
which to handle them. Many growers
have spent considerable money pre-
pairing to grow and handle them and
it is not a mistake to plant them
again.
The farmer who is going to do
anything with peanuts should have
an aeveage sufficient to pustify the
spending of time growing and handl-
ing them A patch" here and there
will create more distaste for the
crop than anything. There has been
tendency to plant only few acres,
apparently to test the yield before
anything is risked.
People in this section of Georgia
know what the peanut will do. II
there is anything they already I'M
dcrstand, it is the making Of peanuts.
II is a crop that has been with them
since first they can remember and
for that reason it ought not to be
2 failure altogether in any mans
plantation Peanuts do not fail as
crop.
1t will be best where it is pos
sible to contract them before they
are grown. This is specially true
with the cotton grower who is afraid
to risk anything but so many pounds
of lint cotton for the rental of an
acre of land. But peanuts will not
have an active market for at least
a month yet There lisa business lull
due to reconstruction. This checks
the demand and therefore con
tract at this time cannot be made to
an advantage.

A HATEFUL ANNIVERSARY
an advantag0

Reader, do you remember March
DIST last year? We do. We had read
a statement given to the press by the
German emperor in which he invit-
ed the newspaper men to witness the
plunge at the British lines in Pi-
e. rv--That brYdge~ was 7'~ an AWFUL
carnage The British seventh army
was annihilated and every man was
forced to give ground till Haig issued
. statement in which he called on
them to hold their ound,-that evry
man was fighting with his back to
the wall DO you remember how this
appeal struck deep into your hope,
full soul?
Every engine of death that could
he mustered by Germany was on the
front spouting fire as Williams mil
lions dashed forth to win and bring
France and Great Britain to their
knees before an American army
could reach the battle fronts. Was
( ere any eagerness that caused you
to still remember developments in
I ose days?
We remember that somewhere i'll
| tie line where the British seventh
9rmy was shattered there was an
american battalion of engineers.
, They hastily armed and entrenched
themselves in the lines where they
stood bitterly and bravely holding

ground even this early in the con
let. The rest Of it is one con,
tnuous advance whose series of
brilliant victories over the German
hordes will stir the red bloodcd
american for ages.
How has the mighty fallen! Whcr

ly. William was to go in flight be
yond the borders of another country
Hindenburg was to remain tc
watch his beaten and shattered
armies get back to their native heath
under the terms of a merciless armi
stice. Today, one year since, he ex
plains to the world why the emperor
went to Holland in this language:
"The peaceful return home of
the Emperor then became i'm
possible. 1t could only have been
carried out through the forceful
employment of loyal troops and
civil war would have been ad-
ded to the hostilities with the
enemy.
"The Emperor could have be-
taken himself to the fighting
troops in order to meet death at
their head in last attack upon
the enemy, but the armistice so
keenly desired by the people
would thereby have been post
poned and the lives of many sol
diers uselessIy sacrificed. The
Emperor finally in agreement
with his advisers, and after Sc
sew mental struggle. decided to
leave the country, solely in the
hope that he could thereby best
serve the fatherland. save Ger
many from further losses, dis
tress and misery and restore
peace and order to her"
And again, today, one year since,
Germany no longer exists as mill
tary power. Her gigantic war machine
has collapsed, and the American
army she sought to avoid stands
astride the Rhine, shoulder to should
er, with the British and French and
with all Germany absolutely at their
mercy.
Shall we sleep soundly tonight as
we run back through that eventful
twelve months? As we fought for
victory we prayed for victory, In
our extreme joy shall we forget? AS
we shudder when we think of the
pail of doubt and darkness which
overshadowed the allied cause this
day one year ago, we run on down
the anxious weeks to November II.
With a joyous heart did we render
thanks that Monday morning!

WASHINGTON WEEKLY CHAT
What Will the Government DO WIN
Bonded Liquor?

Now that prohibition IS an accom-
ulished fact, Uncle Sam has knoIIy
nroblem on his hands that is giving
MIN much concern. He is confronted
with a dilemma tnat only the Onlteo
States supreme court can lend hand
in helping him out, and from this hlgn
tribunal he asks an early decision as
to what he is to do with the 6I,ooo'-
OO0 Gallons of alcoholic beverages
stored in the bonding warehouses
throughout the country. The subject
raises a nice point of law. The bond
Cd liouor was manufactured with the
consent and under the control OF the
government and constitutes legitimate
nrivate property. The Fifth Amend
ment to the constitution prohibits the
United States from taking private
property without just compensation
The distilleries demand either the
right to sell their property or com
| nensation for it from the government
What will the supreme court say
Will it authorize the lifting OF war
time prohibition so that bonded hquol
NAV be sold to the public? Can th'
Government destroy the bonded lquo
with or without compensation? "
can It take it over and dispose OF
for legitimate purposes, through gov
lemment dispensaries, in the years =
come? If the liquor is destroyed th
government will lose three hundfe
and fifty-eight million dollars in taxes
The equity in the case, as pronounce
Inv any decision the court may mah'
will largely affect the course Oh ool
gress, by which the policy OF the 60.
ernment toward this forbidden 'iaui
will be determined.
