Roys’ Peanut Clubs.
Washington, I). C., Oct. 30.—
Peanut clubs, composed of boys
are being organized by the De
partment of Agriculture
throughout the country to pro
mote the raising of peanuts.
The idea came from Southern
Virginia, where clubs were
formed this year with such sat
isfactory results that the de
partment is making every ef
for to extend the organization
elsewhere.
During the next season it is
hoped to organize peanut clubs
in the Carolinas, Georgia, Flori
da, Mississippi, Alabama, Lousi
ana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkan
sas, Virginia, and Tennessee,
these states containing f most
if the peanut raising country
of the United States.
Substantial prizes have been
offered by peanut butter com
panies to encourage the organi
zations. The basis of award is
an exhibit of a peck of clean
peanuts with a history of the
rop as it was raised and a
statement of the yield and the
profit. Each boy works on an
acre of ground and the market
value of hay also obtained from
the acre is counted in with the
rest of the profit.
The peanut clubs which have
been organized in eight coun
ties in Southern Virginia are
similar to the department’s
•orn clubs. The age limit for
members is from 10 to 18 years
as it is in the corn clubs. The
oung members of the Virgin
ia clubs commenced work in
June. Many of those who pre
oared the seed bed thorough,
planted their peanuts at the
proper time, and gave them
good cultivation, secured a good
^tand and are assured a good
harvest. Even those who do
iot win prizes wall have their
valuable crops and their ex

While this work is going on in
the South, the department is
also advocating the formation
of apple clubs in the Northern
/hates, especially in the New
['England states, New York, New
! Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvan

The clubs will be organized a

iis a story of humor and pathos
told in a simple, direct manner
of love, mystery and heroism,
with its scenes al lin the Ozark

Are several exciting incidents, in
cluding the night ride of the
Splendid heroine over the hills 1
through a storm; an attack upon
the shepherd, and the moral vic
tory of a man when a panther is
about to spring upon his rival,
but there is no melodramatic
touch to the play. dl

Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, ol
iris place, says: “l suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then 1 would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
jry Cardui, the woman’s tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and I began using It.
It did me more good titan all the medi
cines I had taken.
1 have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui. and they all say" they have
been benefited by Its use. There never
ias been, and never will be, a medicine
io compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is
i good medicine for all womanly trou
bles.”
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial. !
it should surely help you, as it has a
million others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.
