Some Recovery Made Yesterday, But
General Undertone Was Hesita-
ting and Uncertain.

New York, Aug. 27-The stock mar
ket made some recovery today but
the undertone was hesitating and un-
certain. 1t was plain that the drastic
liquidation of the previous three days
had left a number of weak spots, at
which the aggressive bear. party might
renew its operations
Advices dealing on the health OF
Hartman were not altogether encour-
aging. There appeared to be a feeling
of aloofness on the part Of the profess,
sional element, though the purchases
of standard issues on Iurther reces
sions were counseled.
The only features of the day was the
persistent pressure brought to bear
upon United States Steel which before
noon went under the previous days
low price The first prices of the day
were up all the way from 11a in Tn
ion Pacific common and preferred to
.2R in Southern Pacific with numerous
other issues higher by point.
Buying was sufficiently impressive
to warrant the belief that it had its
origin in responsible quarters. Toe
early gains were soon lost with an at.
tack upon steel, and while some recov,
cry was made it was at the expense
OF diminished operations, this fact r.
self, being regarded as somewhat sig
nificant
During the afternoon business con-
tinued very. dull with narrow price
movements. Just before closing the
list sold off abruptly on rumors again
associated with Harriamn, and for a
time the market looked squally, but
in the final five minutes this condition
underwent another change in favor OF
better prices and general net gains
for the day. The closing, however,
was decidedly irregular. There were
mo marked changes in the general
monetary situation, which reflects the
greatest ease all over the country.

FEEDING Beef Feeds the Soil.

The question Of maintaining soil
fertility is n vital one to all farmers.
All analysis of foods used In eNperi-
mental feed lots at Purdue experiment
station shows that the plant foods in
the form of nitrogen, phosphoric ACID
and potash, which q farm crop con-
tains, if replaced in the form of COM
mercial fertilizers would actually
cost more than the average selling
value of the particular crop. This is
especially true of rough feeds such as
clover, shredded slower and wheat
and oat straw. If these same crops
are fed to beef cattle less than 10 per
cent of this plant food is sold when
the animal goes 70 market. Feeders
general, buy sufficient plant food IN
the form of bran. cotton seed meal or
linseed meal to replace this 10 PET
cent. Thus the fertility of the land
is actually augmented inst ad of de-
bleted by growing steers. Another
important item and one which should
not be overlooked is that the fertility
supplied is OF vegetable origin having
value as humus that no commercial
fertilizer possesses

The attention of the board or pubic

from the barn to the river bank and
the pile has grown to huge proper

Editor Of Palladium:

Editor Of Palladium:
The Sunday issue of the Palladium
contains an article with reference tc
the action of the Dublin Quarterly
meeting last Saturday that Is altogeth-
err misleading in it's statements and il
behalf Of Friends should be corrected.
Tho sentiment of the article indi-
Gates that the writer and unknown re-
porter are entirely ignorant Of the Gus
toms of Friends in worshiping and
conducting business meetings.
The writer says that the long pray
ers and proceeding experience recit-
ais and exhortations" of the hour for
worship pointed to a satisfaction to
be expressed in the business meeting
in the condemnation OF brother in
error. Such statement implies thai
the worshippers lacked sincerity. The
writer evidently knows nothing of the
religious fervor of Friends. He mere
" interpreted his own attitude toward
exercises OF the hour.
It was altogether presumptious and
discourteous for any person to publish
the proceedings of q business meeting
of Friends without permission of the
officials Of the meeting. The article
says that the question before the meet
ing was acted upon without investiga
ton, which again, implies the igno-
rance of the writer. for no matter OF
business comes before the Quarterly
Meeting without first having been con-
sidered by official bodies, and thor
oughly Investigated. The unknown
reporter was either pitiably ignorant
or unspeakably presumptious to think
that Friends were incapable OF con
Quoting their own affairs, and would
give him the liberty of enlightening
them upon a question which had al.
ready been investigated by the proper
authorities. The fact that the un-
known reporter was ignored was but
a mild rebuke to his presumption
making him the victim Of his own dis
courtesy. -
The writer's allusion to the woman
with q strident voice. was to say the
least, ungentlemanly.

although there are cases when II is
ridiculous to expect them to be able to
be equal to the occasion. Recently a
barn took fire on large estate. and
the 6remen CT the village worked hard
to put out the flames. After 1t was all
over the husband asked the fire fight
ers into the house to partake OF coffee
and whatever edibles were on hand
