Suffolk. Va, Oct. 1S.-Hail the
peanut!
Tho once lowly goober, friendless
and .despised. today has taken his
place in the front rank Of the So
ciety OF Actual Food Substances.
It is enthruned at the capital Of
Peanutville- Sufolk-at the four
county fairs now In progress. With
the peanut came the wizard, Prof.
George w. Carver, who has trans
formed it so that today 1t serves
more than 100 needs of the human
family and who asserts that its>use-
fulness still is id its infancy. Sur,
rounded by great. crowds from all
sections Of the peanut growing re-
gion, DR.. Carver is showing results
Of his experiments which are as
tonishing In the extreme.
Born Of Slaves.
The personality Of the demon
strator Is. fully as remarkable as
the recital of the successful ex-
periments he has made. Born of
slaves in a one-room cabin in Dia-
mond Grove. Mo-, he today Is pro-
lessor of agricultural science and
husbandry at Tuskegee institute
and one of the best known leaders
of his race in America. He is more
than 60 years of age and is admit
ed to know more about peanuts
and their possibilities than any
other man, having been summoned
to Washington some years ago to
tell senate and house committees
about them.
The exhibition at the Suffolk
fair is unique. The ground pea, as
it is commonly known, is one Of the
largest agricultural industries in
five states and Suffolk is the center
of it. Yet this is the first time that
the peanut ever has been made to
assume in AL of its forms COM
plete exhibit of the fair. Of course
every one has heard Of peanut but
ter, but what about peanut milk?
This is one of the most interest
ing.of the displays. DR.. Carver ex-
plains that an ordinary tumbler Of
shelled peanuts will produce one
pint of milk.
Read Of These ~Miracles."
1T is rich, creamy and palata-
ble," the expert explaind, "and it
contains three times as much car
bohydrates and II times as much
fat as cows milk Many different
grades of milk can be made by can
trolling the proportion of carbo-
hydrates and proteins and scientific
cally diluting the product. We now
are usingSpeanut milk for culinary
purposes(
Through his research work DR..
Carver has produced for CONNER
cial use the following foodstuffs:
Three varieties Of butter, milk,
two salad oils, meal stock for cat
tie feeding, flour for diabetes, cake,
candy and various CONNECTIONS, in.
slant coffee, bisque from peanut
milk, Worcestershire" sauce, Chill
sauce, breakfast foods, relishes,
lard compounds, oleoQargarine and
cheese filler.
Among articles for Monumental
use he is showing:
Metal polishes. leather dyes in
10 shades, axle grease, toilet, and
laundry soap, pomade, ink, nine
shades of wood stains, tannic acid
and glycerine.
For medicinal use he has several
products now being perfected and
also makes Quinine from the red
outside skins OF the nut.

GEORGIAN HAS SPENT SIX
YEARS AT CONFERENCE,
Action, Not Words, Will Solve World Ills, Says
Charles S. Barrett, Head Of National
Farmers Union
BY HARRY HUNT

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. The
champion long-endurance conferee of
the world.
That's the title claimed by Chas.
S. Barrett, of Union City, Ca, presi-
dent of the National Farmers Union.
But he asserts it merely as fact,
not as mark of honor.
"ln the past 20 years." says Bar
rett, II have put in over 2200 days
or a total of more than six years in
conferences.
Labor conferences, unemployment
conferences, conference of capital
and labor, agricultural conferences,
conferences of any and all sorts have
summoned Barrett as member.
Just now he is member of the
advisory council on the conference
on limitation of armaments. As soon
as that is over, or perhaps before,
he will have to participate in the
conference on agricultural prob
lens, called by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace for Jan. %.
81 can just about tell you, in ad-
vance with my eyes shut, what will
happen at given sort of confer
ence," says Mr.. Barrett.
IF it's a conference on agricul-
ture, it will be: The farmer is the
backbone of the nation. He produces
our. food and the material for our
clothing.
"'He is the muds i'll and founda-
ion Of all our industry and our pros
perity. Without a prosperous and
contented hubsandry, there can be
no real prosperity or security for
any of us"
"If it is a conference on labor, the
formula is only slightly changed.
Labor is the source of all wealth.
Without it capital can accomplish
nothing. Labor must have square
deal, fair play, opportunity to de-
velop brain and initiative as we'll as
brawn.' And SO on.
In 20 years of conferences all
these things have been said over
and over again until they have be-
come meaningless. But how much

Tho little city of Griffin with a
population Of 8240 enjoys a fire in
surancc rate on dwelling of 62 cents.
Americus with a population of 9010
pays at tho rate of 81 cents. :
This difference is pointed out for
the information of policy holders.
Past experience with the old South
eastern Tariff association shows the
necessity of giving publicity to the
facts prior to revision OF rates and
not after a revision.
The reason for having the next re-
vision is to reduce rates.
We can best determine what will
happen if we let things drift, by
briefly reviewing our experience with
the Tariff association for the last
twenty years.
First, the old Southeastern Tariff
association, some twenty years ago,
required that the city buy an extra
pair of hrsoes and truck with the
promise that the city would then be
in limo for a greatly reduced fire
rate The city bought the truck and
paid John Jordan $500 for fine
pair Of horses. By that time the
representative of. Che Tariff associa-
ton had gone and nothing happen
ed.
Next the Tariff association dccid-
ed that the water pressure up town
was not sufficient To meet this re-

as guest and did not entertain.
The Rotary dinner was held from
6 as to p. M, ending in time for
the diners to attend the play. Among
the guests of the occasion was Rev
l.. A. Harrell, of Talbotton, who will
succeed Rev. Silas Johnson as pastor
of the Lee Street Methodist church.
Mr.. Harrell responded to his intro
duction with few words, expressing
appreciation of the sorrow of
Americus i'll losing Mr.. Johnson, but
personal delight at the opportunity
of making his home here.
Feeling tribute was paid Mr. John
son, who is secretary of the club, by
President Lapier, and Mr.. Johnson
responded with an eloquent tribute,
warm from the heart, to the people
of Americus and of love for his fel-
low members of the club.
Mr.. Lanier also introduced Joseph
Perkins, who will soon move to
jacksonville and expressed regret at
his loss Mr. Perkins told some of
the things that Rotary had done for
him in three years of his six years in
Americus, declaring it to hold first
place in the experiences of his whole
life.
Lott Warren, a resident here for
forty years prior to 25 years ago,
who is now visitor here indefinitely,
was present as a guest and declared
that Americus always has been and
always will be home to him; that he
loved it and every person in it.
Mrs. Bessie Churchill read an orig
inal paper on her sensations when
called upon to make talk before the
Rotary club, and ended it with dis
sertation on what Rotary really it.

of all the conferences of recent
years?
Il don't know, do you?
But | do know that the words
|of President Roosevelt, when he
broke in on the first agricultural
conference held at the White House
during the administration, has more
meaning to the average conferee
than all trite eloquence of the
speakers.
1.-The talk had been running true
to form; the farmer was the back
bone and the mudsill and the main

"'Come on, boys" let's go eat!'
Look back over the recent era of

they settled? 1t takes deeds, not

TIME TO PROTECT HOLDERS
OF POLICIES, SAYS FORT
Points Out That Every Suggestion Of Underwrit-
writer's Has Been Met By City And
Rate Have BeeneAdvanced

quirement the city put down aaNex-
ira main on Jackson street. al
ready had one on Lee street
Horse drawn vehicles went out Of
date and we bought motor trucks
Later the Tariff association found
that we needed Gamewell fire
alarm system. The city bought that,
Then to complete the job and make
our fire fighting equipment equal to
the best, the city bought the newest
thing in fire pumps, mounted on a
motor truck, with force enough to
knock in the side of an ordinary
house.
All these things are fine and show
that tire city has tried to do it's part,
and now after all these years it seems
only fair to ask that this equipment
protect the policy holders to some ex-
tent. 1t has protected the fire COM
panies long enough.
This is said to refresh our mem
cries on the subject and to call to
mind the fair promises heretofore
made and ignored. With these things
fresh in mind it will be more diff
cult for the representative of the I'm
derwriters to dismiss the matter by
making unreasonable demands, skill
full explanations and fair promises.
Americus is entitled to a material
reduction in fire insurance rates.
