THE PEANUT EXCHANGE
ELECTS BIG SAVINGS
FOR ANOTHER YEAR

An item Of most decided inter-
est to the peanut section Of Vir
ginia and North Carolina is the
announcement by J. III. Alexan
der, Jr., President of the Pea
nut Growers Exchange, that ar
rangements have been made for
cleaning the peanuts Of the grow
er-members of the Exchange for
the coming season. Negotiations
for cleaning the entire 1922 crop
Of peanuts for the Exchange have
been under way for some weeks
and have just completed. The
Columbian Peanut Company CT
Norfolk has been awarded the
contract. This company, with
its ten plants we'll distributed
over the peanut belt Of Virginia
| and North Carolina, has ample
facilities for cleaning double the
| quantity Of peanuts handled by
the Exchange last year and is
also prepared to store large quan
titles Of peanuts
While the exact terms of the
cleaning contract were not di-
| vulged, Mr.. Alexander states that
! by reason Of the decided advan-
tages Of the new cleaning con
tract, coupled with the very
substantial reduction in storage
costs, that the Exchange will be
able to operate for approximate
ly one-third Of its last year
costs for cleaning and storing
| Mr.. Alexander states that til;
saving on a full year operation
! on the new basis as compared tt
that Of last year will be approx
imately $5O0,O00., which will b'
available for distribution to th'
growers
One Of the outstanding fed
lures Of the new cleaning az
rangement is the fact that III
provision is made for seilln-
either cleaned goods or farmers
stock to the cleaners. The sale
angle is to be handled entlrel7
by the Exchange through it's owl
| selling organization.
The Exchange contract Wit
| the Suffolk Peanut Company
which created such a furore i
peanut circles, has been complet
ed and will not be renewed. Th
cleaning operations of the ES
change are now being handled b
the Columbian Peanut Compan
Of Norfolk and Pond Brothers O
;, Suffolk.
2 This arrangement by the En-
] change to have all its peanu:
t cleaned this season is in strikln

under its new management tn

ORIENTAL RUCS|NT TURKEY

Constantinople, Sept. 10
Good Oriental rugs in the local
market are hard to get nova
ys,days, and the principal rea-
son is lack Of transportation "a
cilities from the producing cen
ters. Hence prices on good stock
are being maintained.
The city abounds in rugs,
however, the demand from the
United States and England giving
d stimulus to the trade, but
many are Of poor. quality. This
grade is cheap, and there are few
buyers
When the Russians got into the
Caucasus the authorities confis-
Gated large stocks Of good qua,

nothing, they sent them to Con-
stantinople for sale at very low
prices. The first shipments from
Batum included some of the
finest kasaacks ever seen in the

turity again. Later, when the
best stocks had been exhausted
the Russian authorities exported

most of the Shirvans received
here were Of very poor quality
Prices on these goods now art
low.

TRICK ON RANCHER
Revives And Bites Mr.. Hammond
OF Prairie Dog Creek Where
Mother Uses The Slipper.

Tha the coyote is a low-down. trea.
cherous varmint is a fact which has
long been established and no better
proof that he deserves his reputation
could be furnished than in the mean
advantage he took of Ray Hammond
behind his back last week.
Ray Hammond is a rancher living
on Prairie Dog creek near Sheridan
where, as in this vicinity, the coyotes
have been uncommonly plentiful this
winter.
For this reason Mr.. Hammond was
in the habit of carrying his rife with
him and was SO fortunate as to knock
one over recently. Mr.. Hammond,
who has a special prejudice against
coyotes, was elated and slung it over
his shoulder to take home and show
to his family.
The coyote, however, was not as
dead as he looked and the fresh air
and the swaying motion revived him
SO that when he regained conscious
ness, he sunk his teeth into the am
plest portion of Mr.. Hammond's trou-
sers which included a large section OF
Mr.. Hammond.
Mr.. Hammond called loudly for help
and endeavored to separate himself
from the coyote but owing to the To-
cation and the firm hold which it had
taken he was unable to do so.
Hal Hammond, hearing his brothers
cries of distress and seeing him 'lop-
ing toward him as If handicapped in
some fashion, FASTENED to meet him
and was astonished to find a coyote
fastened to the east middle part oi
west-bound Mr.. Hammond.
1t was ten minutes before the coy
ote could be pried loose. When thil
was accomplished a physician was cal
led from Sheridan who reported aftel
an investigation hat while Mr.. Ham
mond would be considerably incon
v%enienced for some time to come hi
injuries were not of a serious nature.
Mr.. Hammond, it is reported, ii
more strongly convinced than eve
that the coyote should be exterminat
ed.
