Several Modern Improve

F. D. Kokn Says An Arcade Through to Monroe Street Is one of Things Now Under Consideration.

Real estate trades involving property values of over s20o,ooo have been on foot for several days and the result will be the decided improvement or Commerce and Coosa Street proper ties.
 Although the actual transfer of properties has not as yet been made. still beyond possible doubt within the next few days Frank D. Kohn will be- come the owner of the property on Commerce Street next north of the
 First National Bank and lying between that building and the furniture store
 of wolff and Loeb.
 In the same deal the property now
 owned and occupied by the Alabama
 Machinery and Supply Company on
 Commerce Street be comes the proper

In connection with the deal. it is announced that Schloss and Kahn will l immediately begin the erection of 2 four story structure fronting zoo feet on Coosa Street at the corner of Jef' ferson. which will be occupied by the

COMMERCE STREET PROPERTY
 IS INVOLVED IN A BIG DEAL

merce Streets will be effected and t is even more probable shat larger and better buildings will be constructed on the sites of the property purchased
 Rumors oe the transaction have been prevalent on the streets for sew

 transaction yesterday Frank Kohn said:
 "Just at present. the deal has not
 been completed consummated. but only
 few legal forrnalities remain to be
 gone through with and the property
 will immediately change hands.
 T will come into the possession of

WAS NOT THROUGH RUNNING.
Oarkey Meant to Furnish More Pleas.
ure for Ghost.

Two men in a southern town, get
ting into an argument made a wager
that one of them could not hire
larky to stay all night in a we'll
known haunted house, which no one
would occupy. ,
Hunting up a strapping negro, the
man offered him S. to stay in the
house during the night, keeping
awake all Of the time.
The negro entered the place in the
2vening, and kept walking back and
forth to keep from going to sleep.
Promptly on the stroke Of midnight
re ghost appeared. Unlike most
hosts, this one was pleasant and af-
able and, seeing the man, said:
"Ah, good evening; it seems there
will be two of us here tonight"
With bullying eyes and dropping
jaw the other managed to stammer:
'Y-y-yas, sab, b-b-but dey won't be
long"
And suiting the action to his words,
he went out of the house and down
the road as hard as he could run,
with the ghost in close pursuit. When
completely out Of breath, the darby
sat down by the roadside to rest, and
the ghost, coming up, blandly remark
ed: THAT was a very pleasant run
we had just now"
And the darby replied: "Yas, sab
but 1t ain't-nuffin-to de one
we'se-going ter hab."-San Francis

ETHER USED TO FORCE CROPS
Earlier Maturity and Greater Weight
Secured In Plants Thus Treated.

1t is now ten years since the Danish
investigator Johannsen discovered
that plants could be etherized and
that while in this condition could be
artificially rested as effectively as by
lying naturally dormant through the
winter.
Experimental work along this line,
recently conducted at the Vermont
experiment station, appears to indi-
cate that this method may be used
commercially for the forcing of early
spring crops, just as it has been used
to limited extent in the control of
the blooming of Easter lilies.
Some rhubarb roots which were dug
in the fall and allowed to freeze were
put in a cool cellar about the middle
of December and allowed to thaw out
gradually. Half of the roots were sub,
sequently etherized for forty-eight
hours in an alright box, using ether
at the rate Of ten cubic centimeters to
cubic foot of space Treatments
were conducted on different lots at
intervals of two to four weeks.
Such plants were then grown in
conjunction with untreated plants
and it was found that the ether-treated
plants uniformly gave larger yields,
in some instances as high as 80 per
cent increase being obtained where
the treatment was given early during
the plants dormant period-that is,
before they had completed their nat
ural rest.
In early yields the relative results
are astonishing, the average of all the
ether-treated plants being 62 per cent
for the first picking, sc per cent fol-
second and more than 25 per cent fol-
later piclSings.
The quickening of the vital process
es resulting from the ether-treating OF
the dormant plants produced a decid
ed increase in the weight of the prod
uct, as well as inducing early ma
turity.

Russell Would Protect Him.

William E. Russell was once a
member of the First Corps Cadets,
and when he was governor took par
ticular interest in his visits to the
annual encampment. No one was
prouder of the Governor than George
Washington Jones, colored gentle
man who had been employed to do
some meniel service for Mr.. Russell
when the latter was in college.
At one Of the governors visits to
camp Mr.. Zones was also on hand,
and celebrated the occasion so ener-
getically that he was placed under
arrest over night, and made to "po-
lice" or clean up the camp grounds
the next morning. He smothered this
insult to his pride until he could at
tract the attention Of the officer Of
the day, when he complained as fol-
lows:
