common is by scattering the fer
tilizer broadcast over the land after
it has, been plowed and narrowed,
then giving the soil a second and
even third narrowing to mix the
fertilizer with it thoroughly. An
other method is to apply the ferti-
lizer underneath the rows, the plan
being to open the burrows, scatter
in the fertilizer, then. by means of a
sing shovel piow, thoroughly mix
the fertilizer with the soil in the bot
tom OF the furrow. The surface soil
is then returned and no seeds are
planted for few days until the fer
tiilzer becomes thoroughly incor-
porated with the soil.
The third method Of applying
commercial fertilizers is to use
them as top or side dressing along
the rows of plants during the period
of growth. Nitrate of soda and fer
tlllzer mixtures containing a con-
siderable percentage of nitrogen are
generally used for this purpose.
When using fertilizer as a side
dressing, care should be taken that
it is not applied too near the base
of the plants. but at little distance
from the row, and then it should be
cultivated into the upper 2 or 3
inches of soil SO that the small feed
er roots of the plants will gradual
ly reach it.
The three elements of plant food
contained in commercial fertilizers
are phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
potash

Noyes-Kiny Decide
to Enter Retail Auto
Field Here Once More

Having catered to the wholesale
business almost exclusively for the
past four years, we have decided to
enter the retail field, as WE'LL" says
w. L. Killy. president of the Noyes-
Killy Motor company. The merits
of the Lexington and Saxon cars
are far too good to permit all of
our cars to go out of the city. Since
adding the Lexington to our line al
most a year ago, we have had nu-
merous inquiries from local people.
Hence our decision. We know in
entering this field that the cars sold
must have the best service possible
and we have at present, complete
stock of parts and always will have
in the future.
I'VE intend to increase the eff
cheney in our service station as our
business grows. We have adopted
slogan S. 0. S. Sure of Service"
and are going to live up to it. This
does not only apply to our shop and
parts stock, but to the actual service
you are bound to derive from a
Lexington or Saxon car"

Bronze commemorative tablets

the various companies of Omaha

dedicated to the great battles of
those wars. At one point on the

Gated to the Red Cross. At another

self many times over in the course
of few years. The number of Wis
itors to the city, attracted by such a
road; the increase in the length OF
their stay here, and the advertising
that such a road would give to the
city, would give direct financial re-
turns to the business life of Omaha.
For the business men who reside
in the north or south sections of the
city, the drive home in the evening
along such boulevard would be the
pleasurable time of the day, and in
the evenings we'll paved driveway
with so wonderful view as the pro-
posed road would afford pleasure to
all the people of Omaha.
In 10 years time, the building OF
such a road for the people of Omaha
would be almost an impossibility.
The rapid growth of the city makes
it certain that the land along the
river front will all be used in the
near future. Now is the logical time

New TOBACCO Stock.

Announcement of the formation Of a
new corporation, to be known as the
American Tobacco Securities Corpora
ton, which will take over the present
outstanding shares of the American To-
bacco Company, was made yesterday.
Trading In the new issue, put out by
the Whelan-Duke interests, Immediately
started on the curb and IL sold at so
after selling as low as 75h. The close
was 1871. The announcement caused
considerable accumulation of American
Tobacco shares. After opening around

nouncement of the new corporation
equalled its former high mark OF 312.
1t closed the day at sos, an advance of
l "a points, and about the only stock on
the list that closed with any consider
able advance. AS the Street under

ties Corporation is not to be confused
with the International Trade Mark Cor
poration, to be issued later. Rather 1t
is estimated to be a sort of preliminary
holding company for American Tobacco,
which will later go into the Trade Mark

Twice there were yesterday reports on

probably outside of the clutch of disci-
plinary action by the exchange, the most

ness, or rather the disquieting bulletins
issued about the Presidents illnesa Dis
'tinct slumps occurred when these bulle-
tins were issued and another when the
report was printed that the President
daughters were en- route to Washington.
Many wild and senseless rumors were in

the sickness Of the President, and these

very sick man kept the market very
nervous all day. Selling pressure oc-

An Arbritrage Opportunity.

In connection with the trading in the two
stocks, American Tobacco on the big
board and American Tobacco Securities
Corporation on the curb, which will take
over American Tobacco on a 4 to /
basis, curious discrepancy arose be-
tween the prico of the two stocks. While
American Tobacco was selling at sos on
the exchange the new curb stock was
quoted at so. In other words there was
discrepancy of IL points between the
two, which meant an arbitrage profit OF
approximately Sl,100 after all interest
charges and commissions on 100 shares
of the stock To accomplish this the
trader had only to buy American To-
bacco on the exchange and sell the new
stock on the curb, holding the former
until the expiration of the period of
conversion. Very little of this arbitrage
was done. however, as traders feared a
catch in the transfer. Investigation
after the close revealed the fact that the
arbitrage possibilities between the two
stocks is there and that it represents a
real profit for those who have the cour-
age of their calculations.

shifts are now the largest in local bank

reason is the unliduldity of call loans

Although the rate for call money
ranged yesterday between and ~ per
cent on the floor of the Stock Exchange,
as it did the day before, the average
rate of loans for the day was consider
ably higher than on the preceding day.
With a total of s32,145,0 900 lent during
the day. the average rate was go per
cent, against ~ per cent. on Thurs
day. The largest sum lent yesterday
went at the top figure OF IL per cent,
s14.S00,D00 being reported at that rate.
At the low OF 6 per cent. only $2.45O, 900
was lent. At per cent. $1O,420,0O0
changed hands: $275,o00 at s per cent.
s4,7o0,000 at per cent. No money was
lent at 10 or IL per cent A heavy de-
mand for call funds in the afternoon
sent the rate skyrocketing from to IL
per cent. There was some calling of
loans reported as accounting for a por-
ton of this demand. 1t was pointed
out however, that despite the general
belief that tremendous sums were being
used daily for stock exchange purposes
a total of $50. 900 lent during a ses-
sion, with $50 active houses, means only
an average of $50, for each house.
