NAME IS CHANGED
German-American Bank Now
the Guaranty State.
Step Is Purely a Patriotic One,
Says Roy l.. Bone.

Things that are German-American
even in name only, are no longer to be
tolerated in a city like Topeka that
doubles its Red Cross quota and sends
so many volunteers to fight the kaiser
that the draft means little to its citi-
zens.
One of the few remaining business
concerns in the city that had not
wiped out every trace of TeutOn affiI-
iation did so today when the German
American bank at the corner of Fifth
and Kansah avenue changed its name
to the Guaranty State bank.
The stockholders at a meeting held
Friday voted unanimously to change
the name of the institution and they
took this action purely for patriotic
reasons, Roy L. Bone. president, said
today. I'VE wanted to show where
we stand in this war and wanted to
wipe out any possibility of a ref1ec-
ton being cast upon our bank because
we retained the words, German
American"
The attorney general and the state
bank commissioner have approved the
change and the state charter board
has performed all the formalities nee
essary to obliterate the obnoxious Ger
man-American name.

Fertilizer Manufacturers HGvang
Hard Time Getting Materials

prices of beeves, hogs, sheep and other
animals have risen rapidly, and, as a
result, the price of packing house prod
ucts. one of the chief sources of am
monia, have increased from 33 IL to 90
per cent. In the south cotton seed, from
the meal of which ammonia is secured,
has increased from $40 to $50 per ton.
The south is feeling the embargo of the
British government, which has pre-
vented the shipment of sulphate of am
mOnia into this country, and, due to the
great demand for ships, the freight on
nitrate of soda from Chile to the south,
which is ordinarily from 81 to So per
ton, has increased to from SEA to $50 per
ton.
Mr. Ashcraft points out that the
munition factories are large buyers of
sulphuric acid, which ordinarily would
go into the manufacture of acid phos-
phate, and which has made acid phos-
phate scarce. All the fertilizer manu-
facturers complain of the scarcity of
labor, and the high prices which are
being paid for all labor which can be
secured, to turn out the fertilizer so
greatly in demand.
"The law of supply and demand has
struck the fertilizer manufactures like
it has everything elr-, and it does not
now seem that the supply of materials
which the fertilizer manufacturers
bought in the fall, with which to supply
the spring demand, will be enough to go
around"
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-01-12

I'm order to get the plant food with
which to make commercial fertilizer, so
necessary in the south, fertilizer manu-
facturers are securing the face of the
earth for plant food, and are actually
paying more for freight on the materials
secured than is usually paid for the
materials themselves in normal times,
said Lee Ashcraft, a leading fertilizer
material broker i'm Atlanta. Mr.. Ash
craft had just paid $50 ton freight on
a cargo of Japanese potash, whereas the
normal price Of ton of German potash,
the best to be found, is usually around
$40 a ton, and normal freight from Ger
many to Savannah is around 81 ton.
1.-THE south has received a good price
for it's cotton, corn and other farm
products during the past season, and
this has stimulated the demand for
commercial fertilizers far beyond the
manufacturer expectations, and he is
having u hard time getting his supplies,
too"
According to Mr. Ashcraft, no potash
has left Germany for this country since
January, 1915, two years ago. The
effort to produce potash from kelp,
seaweed on the Pacific coast has proven
disappointment because the amount
produced has not nearly supplied the
demand. The same is true of other
American sources.
With the high cost of corn and other
cattle feed, states Mr.. Ashcraft, the
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-01-12
