PEANUT CROP A SUCCESS

Mrs. Warner P. Norlander left at
the Review office Saturday sample
of her garden product this year that
is quite a novelty and a surprise in
showing that what is ordinarily con-
sidered a semi-tropical crop can be
successfully grown in this northern
climate. 1t consisted of two roots of
Spanish peanuts, each with cluster
of perfectly formed peanuts which
undoubtedly would when dry be iden-
tical with the usual kind Mrs. Nor
lander planted them to satisfy de-
sire of her children and the yield was
sufficient to give them enough for

PHONE COMPANIES
IMPROVE LINES

The Rhinelander Telephone Conf
pany whose office and equipment was
badly Quilted by fire two months ago
have completed reconstruction and i'm
provements by which Rhinelander is
now supplied with telephone service
equal to much larger cities, arrange
ments having been made to serve the
growth of the town in future, that the
past has shown will be necessary. The
wiring on all of the principal streets
has been placed under ground and
the mechanical equipment in the
office is said to be the latest known
in telephone business and which Rhine
lander will surely appreciate after
several weeks of interrupted service
while the company was making its
repairs and improvements.
1t is a good time to also state that
the Eagle River Telephone Company
has also made extensive improve
ments to its equipment during the
past summer, among them being a
new switch board designed to handle
the fast growing business of the com
pany and with a view to being in
advance of every need for some years
to come. Another improvement and
one that will prove great convent
ence is a new line now being built
into Phelps, giving connection to the
large number of places along the line
as well as Phelps and will greatly
facilitate business intercourse between
Phelps and Eagle River.

BECINNI NC OF
THE END MARKED
FOR G. A. R. BOYS

MILWAUKEE, Sept, THE;
Grand Army of the Republic to-
day proclaimed the beginning of its
end.
When the thinned ranks of the
civil war veterans held the last
business meeting of their 1923 en-
campment today it was recorded
for the first time that state had
failed to send a delegate. The state
was Arizona. The white marker
locating the expected delegation was
unclaimed all through the sessions.
At the roll call "Arizona" was un-
answered.
There are so few veterans left in
the state it was explaind that it
was impossibl to maintain G. A.
r. Post. The age which the 1000
delegates to the encampment is such
that several states may fail to an
swer in Boston next year.

Crop M0rtga ge
Law Opinion Is
Given by Webb

State Attorney-General Webb has
interpretated the crop mortgage law
recently signed by Governor Rich
ardson, and now in force so that
ranchers many understand fully the
principle involved.
According to the encouragement
in an opinion given to William H.
Best of Brawley, no alien may farm
land in California where any share
of the crop is received by the indi-
vidual as payment for work done.
All contracts made by ranchers with
Hindus, japanese, or other aliens
since the signing of the bill by the
Governor are violations of the law
and are void.
japanese associations are attempt
ing to have contracts made prior to
the actual date the law went into
effect declared legal.

out the northwest were reported
trekking toward Portland today.

time the walkout is completed at
least 5000 |. w. W's. will have

At least IS per cent of the lum-
Der industry throughout Oregon

the strike it was reported.
Employment agencies have been
instructed not to send men to the
mills and lumber camps to take the
places of I. w. w. on strike.
During the strike a daily paper
will be printed in Seattle and dis
tributed throughout the affected
area.
The walkout was called as a
protest against the continued re-
tention of war prisoners. 1t is
planned to extend the tieup into
California and other western states,

That the full slip melon is the'
melon for Imperial Valley and for
the eastern fruit dealers is the con
tention of Roger s. Sumner, who
has just returned from an eastern
trip on which he made extensive
investigations of wholesale and re-
tail markets.
The full slip melon is one that
comes off the stem clean and
smooth without any ragged ends.
A half slip melon is one that has
to be half torn away from its stem

ers clinging to the stem end, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sumner.
Mr.. Sumner visited markets in
Boston, Hartford, Newhaven, Stan
ford and New York city, buying
melons in the city markets and in
the small suburban stores and fruit
stands, collecting data on the sit
uation.

ers is 'send us more full slip mel
ons like those shipped in June. The
