THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGBAM, BUND AY, OCTOBER 4, 1908. Days of '98, when Richmond Boys Prepared For War, to Be Recalled

Next Thursday the sight of a miniature city of tents in the heart of beautiful Glen Miller park will recall to the residents of this city and county the stirring days of the Spanish-American war, Just ten years ago last spring. Although the presence of Uncle Sam's olive-drab uniformed infantrymen will be a reminder of the time the Hoosier volunteers, responding eagerly to President McKlnley's call to arms, awkwardly executing their drills, but anxiously awaiting the time they would be sent to Indianapolis for mobilization, the sight that will greet the eyes of the big crowd which will gather at the Glen, Thursday, will not be the same as the one seen there in those exciting days of '98. As one sees the smart looking, well et-up and trained . regulars going through their maneuvers, his memory will recall a company of about one hundred young men, drawn from every class in life, from the Harvard tudent to the day laborer, being instructed in the art of war, hitherto almost unheard of by them, and clumsily stumbling through the various drills to the sharp, impatient com

mands of their officers. The spectator will also recall that these hundred men green but willing and in dead earnest wore no uniforms. Their costumes varied from tailor-made suits to overalls. When the Gallant Tenth with a flash of arms and to the tune of a lively marching air played by the regimental band, swings out of the Glen to parade down Main street, there will be many a man and woman who will recall the sight of those one hundred Wayne county boys swinging down Main street enroute, as they thought, to "the front." Once again they will hear the band playing "The Girl I Left Behind Me" and once again they will see the sobbing women on the curbing and at the Pennsylvania station waving their farewells to husband, brother or sweetheart. The sturdy boys of Company F, 161st, Indiana, presented a motley appearance that long ago day, but their heads were up and their step as light as though they were going to a barbecue; and who is there to say, you will ask yourself as the Tenth goes by, that the regulars were more gallant looking than they?

J0HH D.IHT HEAD Once More Takes Up Reigns Of the Standard Oil Company.

ALWAYS CONSULTED FIRST

New York, Oct. 3. John D. Rockefeller, who has taken the public into his confidence in telling the story of his life in a popular magazine, has emerged from his partial retirement in relation to the affairs of the Standard Oil company and Is once more its active, dominant head. Mr. Rockefeller testified in Chicago some time ago that he had had no active part in the concern for two or three years;, now this is all changed. Where two or three years ago he visited 26 Broadway, the standard's headquarters, only once in several months, he now makes his appearance once or twice a week. Mr. Rockefeller is a keen analytical etudent of big social and economic movements and in discussing the present spirit which Is moving the American people he has declared to close personal friends that he believed a policy of publicity was best, especially In a country where reading is so universal and a tremendous campaign of education being carried . on by the newspapers and the magazines. It is in the furtherance of this plan that he ha3 again taken the headship of the corporation that is figuring so vitally in the present political campaign. Nothing is now done by the Standard Oil company without first consulting him.

Peanuts. Peanuts only thrive in a warm climate. The plant requires a limy, sandy loam, and yields from" two bushels of pods planted an acre as much as forty or fifty bushels of pods and two tons of straw. The seed is planted about one inch deep in rows from twenty-eight to thirty-six inches apart and from twelve to sixteen inches in the row when danger of late spring frosts has passed. After planting and during the growing period of the crop the soil is kept close and open and free from weeds. The crop Is harvested before frost in the fall, the plant being loosened by means of a special plow, then taken up and put into shocks. After drying from fifteen to twenty days the pods are picked.
