Dramatic Club Organized.

The first steps toward the Organiza-
tiaon of dramatic club in this city
were taken Thursday night when a
meeting Uf those interested in the
movement was held at the Elk build
ing and plans formulated.
Acting upon the plan suggested by
the recent home talent show given in
this city for the benefit of the hospi-
tai. the initiative was taken by sew
erel of the leading members of the
company which produced the play.
The organization of such a club, it is
calculated will have the effect of in
creasing interest in local dramatic cir
cles and will eliminate the foreign ele-
ment that has invaded the city on pre-
vious occasions, getting up entertain
ments. taking away large per cent
of the receipts, when with a local
organization of this character, much
of the money could be kept at home.
There were number of those inter
ested in the plan present at the meet
ing which was held Thursday night
and the number included several ladies
all of whom were much enthused over
the prospects for the early perfection
of the organization.
BY unanimous vote, Mr.. Reuben
Hutchcraft was chosen as manager of
the club. Harry Booth, business mana
ger, and Harry Saloshin. director.

THE NEW HOMESTEAD ACT
Reduces Period of Residence From Five

A Washington dispatch Of March 81
saws: An important move toward lib
eralizing the land laws was taken to-day
when the House, by unanimous vote,
passed the Three Year Homestead Act
substantially as it passed the Senate.
All the essential features Of the original
bill were retained. and what differences
exist between the Senate and House
measures will be adjusted by the confer
enoe committee. When finally shaped
up by the conference committee and
the conference report accepted. Presi-
dent Taft will sign the bill.
The proposed new law. in brief. re-
duces the homestead period from five to
three years, gives homesteaders five
months leave Of absence each year and
six months in which to establish resi-
dence after making the original Cling ;
the heirs Of a deceased entryman are
relieved from residence ON the entry
upon showing that the entry man bad
complied with the law to the time Of
death before the DILL was passed. The
House rejected the amendments pro-
posed by the Pinchotites. reserving

The passage of the bill was aided by

activity and chemical action in the

able some of the plant food It al

n three ways.
8. Commercial fertilizers" Is the
broad term which includes ali the sub
stances containing large quantities of
plant food that are bought by farm
ers for their crops. The three ele-
ments of plant food they contain are
nitrogen phosphoric acid and potash;
and a fertilizer may contain one or
all of these. Most Fertilizers as sold
are mixtures of substances containing
these elements in various proportions.
Thus the ordinary "S-2-2' fertilizer
is likely to be made up of caid phos-
phate, kairit, cottonseed meal. pos
sibly nitrate of soda, and a filler of
some kind. The same thing is true
of practically all complete" fertilizers
that is, fertilizers containing all three
OF these essential foods. Commercial
fertilizers are generally bought solely
fer the available plant food they con-
tain.
The Three plant Foods We Buy.
These thtree plant foods, which we
apply in fertilizers, have each a spe-
cial function in the growth and de-
yelopment of the plant. While all are
necessary to the proper development
Of the plant. a deficiency in the sup
ply of either is noted by certain char
acteristic signs. Thus where there is
not enough nitrogen. the plants are
likely to make scanty growth of
stock and foliage, to be yellowish in
color instead of dark green, and to be
generally lacking in Yigor and health
mess. Nitrogen, or ammonia, then, di-
rectly promotes the growth of stalk
and leaves, the vegetatiye part Of the
plant.
Phosphoric acid especially promotes
the growth and development of the
seed, and increases the vigor of the
reproductive organs of the plant.

Potash is needed in the formation
of starch or celIuIose by the plant, and
hence plants made up largely of starch

potash. Potash also assists in the
formation of the seed, plays an i'm
portant part in the development Of
the lint in cotton. adds strength to the
straw in grain crops, and color and
quality to fruits.
