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 iNew 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 receive weigh 472 1-2 pounds, and each bale of 500-70 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. NATIONAL PEANUT CLEANERS AND SHELLERS ASSOCIATION. u O OE O I.

Oaabitr. I met a friend of mine several years ago, anil in answer lo my question as to how he was getting on replied that he was doing very badly; in fact, he had been living in hell of late. He said that he owed a great deal of money and his creditors were harrassing him so his life was unbearable. To owe money, he said, and not be able to pay it is hell. Hell, he went on to say, was a condition, ana not a place where people suffered eternal punishment for their sins; it is a figure of speech which represents corrective state of mind. The words of my friend were re called a few days ago by reading the following taken from a sermon of a Meihodist preacher in Los Angeles, Cal.: "The graphic and spectacular presentation of hell and its penalties which characterized preaching thirty to fifty years ago has properly passed, because the interpretation of truth has changed. It is not any longer believed that man shall have a physicial body in his future state, but a spiritual body, and hence all reference to a lake of fire is now accepted as fig urative and symbolical. And, more over, ihe climax of preaching to day, instead of reaching beyond the grave into the unseen, is now fo cused in the enlargement and glor ification of human life this side of death. That there is a hell and that hell is ihe present lime was never so certainly believed as it is today. If any one would see hell, all he needs to do is to look around him among those who are breaking the laws of God and Man." In a sermon Archdeacon Farrar said: "There would be a proper teaching about hell if we calmly and deliberately erased from our Eng lish Bible the three words, damna tion, hell and everlasting. I say unhesitatingly, I say with the full est right to speak with authority of knowledge, thai not one of these words ought to stand any longer in our English Bibles, for in the pres ent acception of them they are simply translations." Some time after this conversa tion with my friend about hell I met another, and at the first glance saw that everything was well wiih im. I remarked that it was not necessary to inquire into the state of his health and feelings, for his appearance showed plainly that he was happy and prosperous. "Yes," he replied, ''I am so happy that I feel lilted up above the sordid things of this world; in fact, I have been in heaven lately. Last night I went to church with a tile lady whom I consider the very incarnation of purity so pure nd spotless that nothing of an im pure nature lived in her presence. Seated by the side of this little di vinity, dressed in white, and listen ing to the choir singing, not the op eratic airs, but simple hymns I was accustomed to hear in my childhood days, I was transported to another world, and all thoughts of a worldly nature slipped from me like a garment discarded. It was a most ecstatic condition in fact, heaven here in this world and I have not been able to come down to mundane affairs. Heaven is not a far-off place up in the skies which you only reach after death, but right here in our midst, and can be nttninH by till who lend the true life. "Our Saviour, whose mission was to teach the glad tidings of the kingdom of God, said that it lies within us, and if we seek it first all other things will be added. We lose sight of the lact that heaven is right here with us, and goon mak ing ourselves miserable, endeavor ing in our old age to make atone ment for the misspent years, so we can enjoy the heaven we have been taught awaits us in some far- off place up in the skies. It is condition and not a place, and believe the world is beginning lo realize this fact. If we live in ac- cordance with the laws of Uod we will not have to wait until after death to get a taste of that heaven, which is in the reach of all right here."

There is no bugle sounding for the army of ihe child The beating of a mother's heart, itie lips wiili rapture smiled; The call lo arms at twilight When she folds them to her breast, The children of her dreaming soul, To rock them unto rest. No trumpets from the parapet to summon them, indeed, But mother at the vineclad door, and that is all they need: The call to arms of mother When the playtime hour is past, And to the bosom of her love She holds them firm and fast. They come not armed and ready for the battle and the strife; They come with arms of clinging for the sweetest dream of life: The call to arms of loving Where she waits the little lips At which her own find comfort As their honeyed lips she sips. No sables clash and tingle when the call of love is heard, But only distant echoes of the singing mother-bird: And leaping to her sweetly, How she holds them warmly in From suffering and from sorrow And the gleaming eyes of sin. The call to arms of mother how it wakes the dreams of rest With little faces hidden on the pillow of her breast; The call to arms that soundeih Not oF battle and of dread, But of goodnight song and story And the prayer beside the bed.

Thai depends less on how ii begins than i on how it ends whether ihe af-! fections have been stirred or only friendship's waves have been rip-! pling from a merry breeze. There are some women, hiippy j of heart, fun loving and sensible, : who could be brought inio contact wiili ihe most pronounced, fasci- ' naiing "lady killers" without ex periencing an extravagant heart thiol). There are others who j were never intended, presumably, i to have a beau who had no matri monial intention, because they were sure to fall headlong in love al though the man in the case stopped carefully at the crossroads of a mild flirtation. Such young women are really more to be pinied than censured, for the reason that their feminine intuition has led them far afield, as it were, leaving them unable to de cide as to just what value to place on his whispered words or the lingering clasp of his hand. All women will tell you they go on their summer vacations for the sole purpose of gaining ihe benefit derived from a change of scene and air. While this is true, it is also quite true that the majority of winsome maidens are not adverse to finding at the place they have chosen for recreation an agreeable, unattach ed young man who will also help them pass the vacation days pleas antly. If he pays a bevy or more of girls the same amount of atten tion, favoring one not more than the others, he is simply a very agreeable new acquaintance. It he singles one girl out, talking, walking, golfing, yachting with her almost exclusively, the busy bodies will be burning with curi osity to discover whether it is real heart affair or only a flirtation. Unwise is the girl who attaches more importance to his attentions than his conversation warrants. Pleasant companionship is one j thing, lender sentiment quite an- j other. The girl who is only intent upon a very slight flirtation should not lead a young man on or allow him to believe that his suit would ! meet with acceptance should he propose marriage. Men have hearts quite as susceptible to the lender passion as those thai beat in women's bosoms. Where one ! or the oiher has "no future inten- j tions" he or she should not mo- j nopolize entirely ihe society of the j oilier. Flirtation is a dangerous game. Frankly acknowledged friendship , simply that but nothing more is i always wisest and best in the long run. It is by no means a coinpli-! ment for a man or woman to be come recognized as an acknowl edged flirt. Many enter into a flirtation with a laugh on their lips which ends in a sigh or a tear.
