The war hurt different people in different and unexpected ways. Like poor Bill, who simply wanted to sell peanuts, but couldn't because they needed the nuts for the war. More specifically peanut oil, it had many uses, it was very versatile stuff, it resisted spoiling so it made a good substitute in food preparation, gave the soldiers a bit more energy, they used it in the military rations. It was used in paints, lubrication, hydraulic fluid, they even used it to manufacture explosives.
