PEANUT BAGS.
For the good of the Peanut Industry, it has been
determined by the members of this association, that
it will be necessary to request the farmers to pack
their peanuts in new 68 inch and 70 inch 8 ounce
burlap bags, and when peanuts are packed in bags
different from the above, a deduction will be made
on the following basis:
Cotton bags, a deduction will be made 10c each.
Second hand bags a deduction will be made 10c each
New 7 1-2 ounce bags 68 or 70 inches a deduction
will be made of 5c each
In view of the fact that some dealers in the past
have delivered 7 1-2 ounce bags on contracts for 8
ounce bags, we would advise you to see that each
bale of 500-68 inch 8 ounce bags you receie weigh
472 1-2 pounds, and each bale of 500-0 inch 8
ounce bags weigh 486 1.2 pounds, exclusive of the
wrapping and cordage. If they run short of the
above weight, you are receiving 7 1.2 ounce bags
instead of 8 ounce bags.

HUGHES LEADS FOREIGN NATIONS
TO BELIEVE U. S. WANTS WAR
At this present moment I want to repeat this because
perhaps the country has not realized It enough at this present
moment It Is almost Impossible to do anything positive In the
field of foreign affairs, because foreign nations have been led
to suppose that there may be a change in our foreign affairs.
Foreign nations have been led to believe that a dominant
element in the Republican Party is in favor of drawing the
United States Into the European war, and they have been told,
with abundant evidence, that it is probable that if the Repub
licans succeed we shall enter upon a policy of exploitation of
our neighbors In Mexico.
That is the whole moral of every criticism that I read, and
until the people of the United States have spoken, it is extremely
difficult to come to any definite conclusion about anything that
touches our relations either to Europe or to Mexico. I myself
do not doubt the result, but there are some who affect to doubt
it. From l'resldeiit Wilson's Speech ut Shadow Luwn, N. J.,

was followed by an Immediate dec-lai-alion

I'eilowlng the Mime line of war talk,
speaking at Lewision, Maine, August
111, last, Mr. Roosevelt said:
"The policies of Americanism und
preparedness, taken together, ineiin ap
plied patriotism. There should he cor
relation of policy and iii-uiaiiient.
America, which sprang to the
succor of Cuba In lS'JS, has stood nil

These are the tb-liherale declara-
li.uis of the men with whom Candl-
d Hughes has said, "I AM IN Cn

publicly congratulated Roosevelt for
what he said.
