 WOMAN SHOW HER NECK

Zion, Ill.--Mrs. Elizabeth Naden, of Zion, was arrested today by police man Isaac Parry for wearing a dress, "the neck of which was cut so low as to partially show or expose the neck and shoulders of the wearer lower than the juncture of the pit of the neck with the clavicle or collar bones" ,"
 She is the second woman to be ar- rested since Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Zion, issued his law against alleged immodest dress.

Th7ee-Power Naval Ratio
Settled.

Tne Washington Conference, orig
inaIiy called for disarmament, under
the Borah Resolution, and later
changed to conference about naval
ratios and limitation of sea armament
by the three powers chiefly interest
ed in the Far East, reached an agree
ment yesterday upon the naval ratio
known by the formula "5-5-3."
This means, in brief; that there is
to be naval holiday of ten years, at
the end of which the three navies of
America, Great Britain and Japan
will stand to one another in that ra-
ito, or England and America having
each percentage of 100 to 60 of
Japan, or ten units each to every six
units of Japan.
The japanese at first objected to

How Soil Nitrogen is Lost.

iClemson College, Dec. 17.-It was
pointed out in a previous article that
there is enough nitrogen over every
acre of farm. land to produce maxi
mum crops for a half million years.
Brief mention was also made of
some of the methods which nature
uses to elk" that nitrogen; that is,
bring it down into the soil in such a
form as to make it available for grow
ing plants. However, in spite of the
unlimited supply of nitrogen in the
air, this element is the costliest of
all when} bought as fertilizer or as
food for animals. This is because it
is very easily lost from the soil.
There are three important ways,
states DR.. C. A. Ludwig, associate
plant pathologist, in which nitrogen
may be lost from the soil. The first
Of these is removed in crops. Every
time a bushel of corn, gallon of
milk, meat animal, or practically
any other farm product is sold off the
farm, and every time anything is
burned, a certain amount of nitro
gen is removed. The nitrogen came,
of course; from the soil. Quite natur-
ally some crops remove more nitro
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1921-12-21

and carries out portion, of any sol
uble material which may be present.
Nitrogen in the nitrate form is very.
soluble in water, and the amount
which the water removes annually is
enormous, especially if there are no
growing plants on the soil to use up
the nitrogen as fast as it becomes
soluble.
Stated in a nutshell, .nitrogent is
lost from the soil artifcially by the
removal of plant materials produced
on the soil, and naturally by denitri-
fcation and>leaching, the last named
being tremendously more important
that the others, especially on bare
soil.

1t is, to be noted, however, that the

total abolition of the submersible
craft for war purposes. Also,, the
problem of poisonous gases may have

gen than others. For instance, cotton
fiber and cottonseed oil carry scarce
ly any, while, cottonseed meal carries
a great deal. The loss of nitrogen in
this way may reach good sized to-
tails; but in general it is less than
that due to other causes; and often
the price of the products sold is suf-
ficient to make it worth while to sell
them anyway and then buy CONNER
cial nitrogen.
A more serious source Of loss in
some soils is Identification" which
is a breaking down of nitrates due
to certain kind of bacterial action.
The bacteria change the nitrogen
from the nitrate form, in which it is
available to plants, back to the form
of gas. In this form it escapes from
the soil and rejoins the, great, mac
tive, unavailable, reserve store in the
air. This Identifying action is par
ticularly active in water-logged, poor
ly aired soil, and is not important in
soil which is well drained and in good

Fertilizer Companies Consolidating.

Fertilizer Companies Consolidating.
Several days ago the daily papers
carried the announcement that ~
fertilizer manufacturers had consol-
idated or combined their interests
into one great corporation, to the end
that operating expenses may be re-
duced. If such result be accomplish
ed, it is well for fertilizer manufac-
turers to combine, for farmers need
to have fertilizers furnished them at
the lowest possible figure.
The recent combination does not
include all of the leading manufactu-
rsrs, however, six of the largest yet
operating as separate units. The
1922 prices which will soon be issued
will indicate whether or not pooling
of fertilizer interests will be of real
benefit to farmers.
In this connection, it seems that
farmers would themselves learn a
lesson in cooperation. By pooling
their interests, putting their heads
and shoulders together, in buying
and in selling, instead of acting as
individuals, farmers could greatly
promote their interests. But it seems
that they will never learn and put
into practice the advantages of CO.
operation.

Advertising Helps Merchants
Credit.

Atlanta, Ga.,-Anent the promo
tion of credit facilities:
Here are some ideas of an adver-
tising man put into little news story
for the edifcation of the merchant
or manufacturer who has complained
that the banks have been little
tight on him.,
There is one way in which mans
credit is improved and that is by the
policy. of consistent advertising.
Bank men believe in advertising.
Their usual feeling is, when a nler-
chant who is al good advertiser ap-
plies for loan, that reasonable
amount of goods bought by him on
such credit, is likely to be turned
over quickly and promptly paid for,
on account Of his methods of keeping
his goods constantly before the pub
lie. They would have confidence that
turned into cash before they get out
the goods would be, disposed of and
of date.
The store that advertises consist
emily creates a reputation and good
will that must be help to a mer-
chant in getting the credit with which
to build up his business. Bankers do
not like to tie up money in non-liquid,
stock. If they loan money on any
kind of merchandise they want to
see that stock go through the process
of sale promptly, in a minimum of
time, so that the loan can be paid off
and the money sed to finance new
enterprises.
Any merchant therefore, who is
ambitious to expand and lacks capi-
tai takes a long tsep towards getting
accommodation, when he creates a
public good will through advertising.

Lower Freight Rates Needed.

4
Muchl of the business stagnation
which has existed for many months
throughout the country has been due
to excessive freight rates. Many en-
.terprises have been forced to shut
down on account of the stagnation
and depression caused by high cost
of transportation, both on raw ma
terial and on manufactured products,
throwing hundreds of thousands OF
people out of employment. 1t is en-
couraging that beginning has been
made by the railroads in reducing,
rates by first making a. reduction on
agricultural products. But the redue-
tom should not stop there. There
Should be gradual reduction, just
as the increase to the present rate
was gradual, along ell lines. Agricul-
tural products are generally "raw,
material" which has to be "nlanufac-
tured" before it can be utilized, and
it is the hauling and rehauling of
manufactured products that con-
tribute so much to the high cost of
commodities that are daily necessi-
ties to teeming millions of our peo-
pie.
1t is probable that nothing else
would contribute so much to res
toration of normal conditions as
general, but gradual, reduction of all
freight rates in every section of the
country.
Farmer on Federal Reserve Board.
Senator Smith has introduced a
resolution in the senate providing for
the filing of the vacancy on the Fed
eral Reserve Board by the appoint
ment of farmer. Provided the far
mer be man of broad vision, one
capable of taking, an unbiased and
impartial view of the business and
financial conditions, we think. it ex-
tremely advisable that farmer
should be selected. 1t is said that
President Harding has expressed the
sopinion that bankers only should
serve on the board. BY holding such
IAN opinion The Advertiser belieyes
that the President is in error. While
the members Of the Federal Reserve
Board function as the nations bank
ers, they at the same time maintain
or should maintain the business equi-'
librium of the country, and for that
reason the personnel of the board
should not be confined TO bankers
alone. We confidently believe that
had the board been directed or domi-
mated by men of broad vision and
splendid business acumen in the past,
men who saw not alone, through the
glasses of tanker, as did Governor
Harding, this country would not now
be Frustrated and in the very throes
of bankruptcy.
Had farmer of strong, virile per-
sonality beoa a member of the board
two years ago, the agricultural in
terests would not have, been, dealt
so severe a blow by the board. He.
would have urged less drastic pol
icy.

CORDELE WANTS
POWER HURRIED
One Large Industry Planning To
Use Current-Officials To
Go To Albany

CORDELE, Oct. 15.-City officials
and others are becoming deeply in
terested in the plans for the hydro
electric power from the Albany plant
which has been contracted for this
city and next Tuesday mornig Mayor
Jones and Aldermen Lamb, HUE and
FAINT, and w. G. Webb, superinten-
dent of the local water works, will
go to Albany for a conference with
the officials of the hydro-electric
plant looking to definite plant for
getting the power line into Cordele.
! At least one large industry, that
of the Williamson-h Harris Machine
company, is making large plans to
use this power in the erection of an
electric steel foundry which will de-
pend for its current on the power
from Albany. Others are beginning
to inquire and this has caused the
city officials to take this move. The
Albany concern had a year within
which to complete its power line to
Cordele. This is over half gone.
