In Peanuts is Wealth.

There is wealth in peanuts for south ern states. Fortunes have already been made out of this highly oil-produc- ing nut. Imports of more than S40- oOo,Oo0 worth of peanuts and peanut oil in single year is the new record for the United States, despite the fact that it is one of the worlds biggest producers of peanuts. This phenomi- nal record. says q statement by the National City Bank of New York, grows out of the New World demand for food oils to take the place of animal fats. For several years continues the banks statement. we have been importing large quantities of certain food oils, especially those produced from the CO., conut, of which the quality imported has grown from 5S,00O,00o pounds in 1914 to 356 6O00OOO in 1918. while the value of all vegetable oils imported jumped from s24000.000 in 1914 to $123s000, DOC in E914, and approxi-
 mately SAC, 900 900 in 1920.
 But it was left to the humble pea nut to show a spurt n the race for popularity in supplying vegetable fats in the fiscal year 1920, and the quan- tity of peanut oil imported into this great peanut-producing country of ours was, in the ten months ending with April. 1920. 10000, 900 gallons against | less than S,O0o,00O in the correspond ing months of last year, and less than 100000 in the year preceding the
 war. Not only was there an . lormoIs increase in the quantity of oil imported | but there was also a corresponding n- | crease in the importation of peanuts 1 of which the imports in the ten months

WoMAN's NECK ARTERIES
 CUT BY FLYING GLASS

 Mr. and Mrs Whit of Watch Hill came along in their car soon after the accident, and rendered all the aid that it was possible to give, but they were unable to check the flow of blood and Mrs. Kent was in danger of bleeding to death by the roadside as it was out of the question to get the injured wo- man to a hospital.
 Fortunately pr. F. ". Hewes of Groton happened to be returning that way from attending a case in Noank, and he arrived in the nick Of time. Mrs. Kent was taken to the residence of Frank Merritt on top of Fort Hill where Dr. Hewes took up the arteries and sutured the wounds. Had the doctor arrived few minutes later he would have been too late, as the hem l orhages were so serious that they had | to be checked at once to save the pa tient's life.
 Aside from the cuts Mrs. Kent was not injured and while she is weak 1 from loss of blood she is in no danger. l Neither he husband nor daughter were | hurt in the smashup. The car, which 1 was considerably damaged, was taken l to a garage in Mystic.
