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 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.

"This is the trouble depart

sweetly.
"Is ihis where you report your

Which Do You Prefer?
It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy lor every housekeeper
to ask lietr.elf this question:
"Do I prefer a pure baking powder like
Koyal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am I willing to use a baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, Rt'ii' or old,
that may be offcrcJ is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate
or alum compound.
Koyal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.

OLD WOMAN'S WAYS.
The science-fellers can tell the ways
Of die stars, through the Lord's eternal days
The lime that it takes the world to run
Clean 'round lhe belt o' the blain' sun;
Jcs' every way that a world may roam;
An' track the comets, that have no home;
An' most o' the weather bureau men
Can hit the weather one time in ten;
But none can tell, in rain or shine,
The ways o' the Woman the Lord made mine !
Tony years come Christmas Day
We've traveled together the selfsame way,
An' the times thai I 'lowed her mind 1 knowed,
I was in the wilderness, 'thout road !
The minute 1 said to myself : "She'll see
That Wisdom at last abides in me,
An' I'm right for once, an' I'm goin' strong,"
Thai was lhe lime she writ me "Wrong !"
An' I'd say, as oil to myself I'd gu ;
"Blest if 1 know that woman yu !"
Bui, ihinkin' over the thousand schemes
I had for riches I seen in dreams;
Many a project, many a plan,
Sure to make mc a milh'Mtairr-tnan;
I hall-way think if it wern'i that she
Hadn't been iravelin' 'long with me;
Put on the brakes made lhe train stand sull
When the wheels was rattlin' down the hill
An' I thought for sure I was goin' some,
1 wouldn't be here to tell how come !
I dttnno the wherefore of the why,
But we travel on, to the by an' by,
An' I no more ask to understand
As we go together, hand-in-hand;
I only know, as the Night comes fast,
That we'll love each oilier to the last;
An' when we siand where the light don't fade.
At the Gate where the close enquirement's made,
Willi her I'll be hopin' some grace to win,
For she'll give 'em a reason to let me in !

DEEP BREATHING.
"Draw Nijjh to (iod mid Me Will
Draw Mij;h to You."
( )ne day a young nun lound
that he needed stronger lungs. So
he beg. in biking lung exercises,
livel y day lie filled Ins upper lungs
bie.iihiiig in iimil his chest wasev
panded as much as possible. Then
he filled lhe lower part of Ins
lungs. Then his enure lungs, lie
did these things fifteen or twenty
limes a day lor several years, Al
! the end of those years a physician
who examined him said he did not
believe ihere w ere a better pair of
lungs in that pan of New Hnglund.
Now, you notice what it was
that gave thai young man those
lungs. It was not breathing ilui
did it. Lverybody breathes. In
order id live, people have to lake
fresh air into their lungs and let ii
out again. It was not breathing
that gave him his strong lungs; ii
was deep breathing; it was taking
in, day after day, more air than
people usually do.
This helps us to understand
something else.
Air is all around us; we are al
ways breathing air; but we have
to practice deep breathing in order
lo gel strong lungs. So, too ii is
in our relations with Cod. Cod
is everywhere. He is always will)
us.
"Nearer is He ihan breathing,
Closer than hands and feel."
But still God does not seem to
help and tise most of us very much.
Why is this? his because most
of us take iust so much of God as
comes to us naturally, without
making any try io get more of
Him. But when we pray, when
we read God's word, when we try :
to know and lo do His will when,
day afier day, we do litis thought
fully, earnestly then we lind that
God helps us more than He did ;
before.
This is w hat lhe Bible means .
when ii says, "Draw nigh to Cod,
and He will draw nigh lo you."
