Potash for Sale to All

Farmers who farm on business princi-
pies and fertilize their soils as a manu-
facturer. puts money into piant-for in
.vestment-have never needed much argu-
meut to be convinced that Potash Pays"
as the German Kali Works puts it. The
trouble for the farmer has been not only
the price, but the difficulty of getting
Potash at any price. The manufacturers
have heretofore absorbed # all.
All this has been changed. and thou
sands Of farmers who rarm for profit
rather than for mere wages and a liv-
ing, will now be able to buy all the Pot
ash Salts they need, in any quantity they
want it, of local dealers everywhere
And not only this-but they can get it at
lower rates than have ever before been
charged.
This means that farmers can now in
vest i'm plant foods that they themselves
can buy and mix-fertilizers without fill
ers and mixing charges into so much
more actual crop-making fertilizer.
The great German potash mines arc
now producing enough potash to enable
the American selling agency to guaran-
tee delivery of all that is required both
by fertilizer manufacturers and by local
dealers and farmers. Ask your dealer to
carry these invaluable salts In stock.
Tell him to write to the German Kali
Works Continental Building, Baltimore.
FOR particulars and prices. And we rec
ommend you to write to them also, for
their Farmers Note Book" and their
valuable literature on fertilizing and Gull
tivation. Mention what crops you are
most interested in. 1t will pay you to do
it. And see your dealer the next time
YOU are in town.

PHENIX SAYS STOCKDELL
Is SHORT $4,000
Continued From Page One

fetal active in recognizing the PheniX
was asked il there had been any collu-
sion between Sheldon and any one in
the Atlanta office.
Nothing Of that nature has been de-
veIoped." was the answer.
IAN that we know is that Mr.. Sheldon
knew of the irregularities in the Atlanta
office. We do not know why he did not
make them public, or call a halt, save
II was that he feared if he did so he
might invite a general investigation OF
the company's affairs by the state insur-
ance department Mr.. Sheldon was not
in a position to welcome such an inquiry,
as the report of Mr.. Hotchkiss would in
dictate"
How extensive were the Irregularities
charged against the Atlanta officer" the
correspondent asked.
1--WE don't know exactly. There APP.
pears to be something like $4,000 In
volved.'
WAS it because of these so-called ir-
Irregularities that Mr.. Stockdell was re-
moved?"
yes"
Just what do you mean by irregulari-
ties? Were the funds of the Phenix In
surance company used, as was charged
against Mr.. Sheldon, for the purpose Of
specializing in stocks?"
Not that we know of. All that we
know is that there is a shortage of
something like S5O,OOO The money is
gone. We have placed another man in
charge of the Atlanta office"
The Journal correspondents informant
stated that the investigation of the At
lanta office was not closed, although he
did not believe the shortage claimed
would grow very much beyond the esti-
mate now made. A general investigation
OF all branches, he said, is being made.
The next important branch to be gone
into is the western department which
has it's office at Chicago, and does many
millions of dollars worth of business.
Henry Evans, president of the Cont
mental Insurance company, and chairman
of the recently-appointed executive COM
mittee Of the Phenix Fire Insurance
company. would not talk about the
charges made against Mr.. Stockdell's ad-
ministration or of Mr.. Sheldon's knowl-
edge in the alleged Irregularities uncover
ed there.
"An that I will say is that nothing that
has been found will in any way impair
the solvency of the rhenix Insurance
company" he said. LAS proof of this
you can say for me that 1 stand ready to
purchase 5000 shares of the Phenix In
surance company's stock at $50 per cent
of the value. That is to say, / will pay
SO for the stock, whereas it's par value
is but $50"
Z. w. T. Gray. who was appointed
president of the Phenix Fire Insurance
company. following the removal of Presi-
dent Sheldon, refused absolutely to dis
cuss the Irregularities charged against
Mr.. Stockdell, or his office.
"All 1 will say is that Mr.. stockdell
was removed, he said.
Charles Hard, formerly connected with
the Continental. has been placed in charge
OF the Atlanta Office. Whatever else may
be said on the subject will have to come
from Superintendent Hotchkiss, of the
state insurance department.
