WHY FERTILIZER PRICES
HAVE ADVANCED.

Cannon and crops use the same
food. Six hundred thousand tons
OF niWates went to make explosives
last year, in the United States
alone.
Sulphsric acid necessary for the
manufacture Sf acid phosphate is
normally made from Spanish sui
phar ores. Submarines have now
almost entirely cut off this supply.
Birthstone, ssed as substitute
source Of sulphur. must be trans-
ported by rail at great expense
froIa louisiana and Texas, since
the government has found il neces-
sary to commander sulphur-earry,
ing boats.
Large quantities OF phosphate
rock from Florida and Tennessee
must now so by rail at high freight
rates. Uncle Sam needs the boats.
Higher labor, machinery, coal
and supply costs have caused gen
eral advance in all raw materials,
varying from % to 100 per cent.
Burlap bags which normally cost
10 cents each, now cost 2S cents and
are scarce at that. '~s-<sx. { - ~
Labor which was plentif1 in
1914 at $500 per day Is now akaost

There can be but one answer 80

kigh-priced fertilizers.

DECLARE RED CROSS
 SUBSCRIPTIONS PADDED
By Associated Press.


 NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The finance committee of the American Red Cross has issued statement declaring that only one million. four hundred thou sand dollars of the eight million di : vidend declared hy correspondents to have been received as a result of the Red Cross campaign in June has so far been received at the financial headquarters of the society. The committee charges that the corre- spondents were either misinformed as to the totals of the subscriptions re- ceived or had deliberately padded their statements relative to the funds received in various localities.
 The officials assert that they have long been aware that the subscrip- tions were not as large as represented but had made no effort to kill the story of an immense oversubscription scattered broadcast through the coun- . try.

The ueller-Goggin case, which has been occupying the attention of the district court for the past two days. was concluded this afternoon and re- suited in verdict for the defendant. The case was given over to the jury about three o'clock after the opposing attorneys had agreed to waive argu- ment. Shortly after the proposal was presented to the court, Judge Tucker delivered his instructions to the jury. After being out scarcely more than five minutes, the jury returned a verdict as above stated. The case has attracted a great deal of attention on the part of the public and num- bers have attended the daily sessions and followed the testimony with great interest.

Through a deal consumated yester- day, Capt. Heckla, owner of the schooner White Bear, which Is in course of construction on the Sand spit, obtained a Hubbard -Stoddard en . zine of e horse power and will in- stall the same in his new vessel i'm mediately. The engine was brought to Nome by a MT. Bradshaw, who ar rived from the east this summer The former owner intended to go into the Kobuk section and brought the en- zine from the outside to provide mo- tive power for a vessel to be used in the projected expedition. Stod- dard later found 1t impossible to carry through his plan and decided to sell the engine. Those acquainted with marine matters assert that the White Bear will undoubtedly be one of the fastest vessels in the local trade with the new engine installed. The work of placing the engine in the new schooner will soon be completed and the launching will occur within a few days if nothing mscarries.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Because of the probability that the Red Cross and Young Mems Christian Associa- tion officihls may be hampered in their work in Europe because denied the recognition accorded to uniformed officials, it is probable that the Red Cross officers will soon be allow cd to wear the American army uni form while in association with the officials connected with the hospital service of European armies.

There is much speculation over the mysterious charter of the schooner Arctic and there are not few who are devoting much of their gray mat ter to the task of trying to solve the puzzle of where the vessel is going. in the belief that they may possibly he overlooking something.
 The identity of the charterer and the destination of the vessel, remain, however, as deep a mystery as in the beginning. Rumor has 1t that the schooner is destined for the scene of some mysterious gold strike WI ich has been kept profoundly secret; that she is to be employed on some secret mission by the government, and that some one Is planning a secrett Journey to the Sebirian coast. It is learned, however. that the projected voyage is backed by citizens of .he soun lest financial status. An inkling has also been obtained that the party who se- cured the charter will not go on the projected voyage, app, 'ently acting only in the capacity of an agent for others. All other details are rigorous. ly suppressed. It is also said that a very large quantity of gasoline and other supplies is ready .o po nhoa rd the vessel, indicating an extensive cruise.
