Trading on the Stock Exchange
Yesterday was unusually light
There was little public participation
and for several reasons professional
II aders were extremely cautious IN
/ their commitments. Uncertainties
regarding the outcome Of the Ger
man campaign in Italy and Keren-
sky's struggle to regain control OF
affairs in Russia are still restraining
influences, while traders had also to
take account of the possibility OF
money market disturbance in con-
nection with the huge payment on
the Liberty Loan, Secretary Nc
Adoo's statement concerning govern
ment financing and the resolution
adopted by the governors Of the
exchange to acquire further control
over short selling. 1t was not sur
prising, therefore, that transactions
should have fallen to the lowest total
reported in any ffve-hour session for
number of weeks. Whether or not
the resolution calling for reports Of
all short sales covered during the
same day on which they are made
caused any falling off In transac-
tons Of this character was not dis
closed, but some observers attributed
the hrmer tone Of prices to lack Of
pressure from this source.
Statements Of the three leading
porphyry copper companies for the
quarter ended September 80 last, Is
sued yesterday. would be gloomy In
deed II the whole story were told in
the income accounts. Fortunately 1t
isn't Net profits Of the Utah were
only a tenth as much as in the cor
responding quarter last year; those
of the Chino decreased more than 70
per cent, while the Ray Consolidated
reported a drop of 80 per cent. But
much of the decline in profits is to
be attributed to transportation con-
ditions, which resulted in a large
decrease in copper on hand, and
which will be delivered during the
currentquarter. This metal Is carried
by the Utah at 1874 cents a pound,
whereas the price fixed for the metal
is 28h cents. To an even greater
extent the apparent slump in earn
ings is due to the method of account
ing. The earnings Of the Utah were
figured on a basis of Ia cents for cop
per, whereas the average price for
the metal during the period was in
the neighborhood of % cents. The
statements for the final quarter will
no doubt show sufficient improve
ment to partially Offset the bad
showing for the three months COW
cred by the latest reports.
Last Sunday a water power ex-
pert called attention to the fact that
enegy equivalent to about 100000 600
tons of coal a year is pouring unutil-
lied into the sea. On Wednesday the
Fuel Administrator admitted that
the coal supply will be 60,OO0,0OO
tons below the years requirements.
The comparison is suggestive. There
are many water powers which could
be quickly developed In the present
emergency, but such developments
are held up because the conserva-
tionists and water power interests
can not agree on the terms under
which they should be put in opera
ton. In the present emergency the
important thing Is to develop the
power as rapidly as possible, even If
it Is necessary for the government to
take arbitrary measures to that end.
II Is no time for pickering over
| terms.

Hoover Potato Diggers

From all reports in the last few
days the potato crop is going to be
a little heavier than expected, "but,
of course, not up to last year." and
the potato growers are getting ready
to 20 ahead and get these dug.
The quickest and surest way to
get your potatoes out is with a
HOOVER POTATO DIGGER, the dig
er that will work in dry or wet
weather and will NOT COVER UP
THE POTATOES. We have had
several potato digger owners asking
us if our digger covers up the pota-
toes. We referred them every time
to any present user of HOOVER
seven-foot digger, the same length
digger they are NOW using, and the
answer from those users has been
tina" the HOOVER does not cover up
the potatoes.
We have one of each size Hoover
in stock and are in position to
make Immediate delivery on either
one:
Wes Wright and Nick Hirt took
out Hoover Diggers this week.

Why Do You Strive
For Quality Products
WHY NOT RAISE ORDINARY
LIVESTOCK. ORDINARY GRAIN
OR ORDINARY FRUIT

1t costs extra money to start and
maintain herd of blooded cattle,
hogs or sheep.
1t takes extra time and care to Sc
lect quality seed corn as a basis for
quality crop.
1t takes extra money, time and
care to start and keep up a quality
fruit orchard.
You could do away with this ex-
ira expense by being satisfied with
just ordinary products. Why do you
seek for quality?
Here is the reason: You pin
your faith to quality because you
know that the extra expense entailed
by the effort for quality is more than
offset by the extra profits that quail
ity products return.
Quality is profitable in what you
raise to sell. 1t is just as profitable
in what you buy to use.
We have at your service stock
of highest quality merchandise.
There is nothing of the ordinary in
these goods. Their quality has been
recognized for years throughout the
world.
If you were fully satisfied with
raising ordinary products, we might
deal in ordinary merchandise. Quail
ity in what we have to sell would
not attract you. But knowing that
you appreciate the worth Of quality,
we are here to serve you with quality
goods. You will find the quality of
our stock and the quality of
our service both profitable to you.
And remember, you can see before
you buy.

TWO PERIODS
FOR PLANTING CORN

There are two more or less dis
tinct planting periods for the
standard strains of corn in Louisi-
ana. The first, or early, period
would approximate the 10th of
March and the second the 25th of
April IN Central Louisiana, being
somewhat earlier in the extreme
south and five to ten days later I'D
the extreme northern portion of
the State. Corn planted from the
Goth of March to the 10Th OF April
is very apt to be destroyed by the
corn root worn. The second plant.

after the first generation of root

corn is generally believed to be
safer than late planted corn, ex

WOMEN'S DIVISION
OF the Inaugural Parade

Are you going to find a place in
the ranks of the Paradei The
committee in charge of arrange
ments is specially inviting women
to march. Mrs. James Fl. Boggs,
chairman Of the Wolnen's Division
says, "The history of the last
four years has done much toward
given women q place in public af
fairs.'
This recognition serves to recall
the magnificent parade preceding
the first inauguration of President
Wilson. Then the women were
insulted and crowded out of posi-.
ton by the toughs, and an ineffici
ent pOlice.force were unable to
cope with the disorder. Troops
from Fort Meyer were called into
action and protected American
women citizens 10 the Capital of
the Nation. 1t was spectacle
that brought criticism and lnvestl
CATION for the police heads, and
unbounded admiration for the
courage of the women. In no
ticeable contrast the men march
ers of the following day were am
ply protected. Order will be
maintained in the Inaugural Par
ade of Marth 4th, and women will
participate with credit to the
states which recognize their clti
zenship, and as q suggestion to
the states which have not yet
shown them justice. One fact
will stand out c0nspicuously; for
the first time in the inauguration
of president of the United
States there will be q Women's
Division.
