sponse. He was quoted as saying that
It had been found difficult to carry out
thc provisions of the Eighteenth
Amendment and the prohibition en-
forcement act in some minor details,
inasmuch as IL was the Administers

every respect the flag. However, he
added, progress was being made along

Speaking Of the international plea

MEDALS AWARDED
u. s. SAILOR FOR
SAVING COMRADE

London-Frank Dolan. a quarter
master on the United States steamer
Centennial State, has Just received
an award of medals here for res
cuing a comrade from drowning in
the Thames last October His act
was described as one of the bravest
deeds ever done in the London
docks.
He received the silver medal Of
the Royal Humane society and an
award from the Carnegie trust
fund.
Dolan was serving on the Mon
tana at the time of the rescue and
dived into the water to save a man
who had fallen between that ship
and the pier at a time when a
strong swell was running and Do
Ian ran a risk of being crushed
between the ship and the wharf.
The services of Scotland Yard
and the New York police depart
ment were engaged in order to find
Dolan and make the awards. When
he heard that the New York police
were looking for him Dolan ap-
peared in a police station in that
city much perturbed and declaring
that he had committed no crime. "

New York, May 13.-There was
bit of irregularity on the curb ex-
change today. Commission houses
were taking profits after the open
ing transactions and the PROBES
sional operators also sold out part
of the lines accumulated in the
late dealings on Thursday and dur
ing the strong periods on Friday.
The floor thought that in view Oh
the advance of the past day or so,
and the fact that a considerable
part of the short interest had Deen
eliminated. technical reaction
might be expected.
Tobacco Products exports WIS
one of the strong features, adVanc-
ing to a new high for the move
ment. Philip Morris showed an
easier tendency. during the great
err part of the session. The new
corners, Cuban Dominican Sugar
and Daniels Motors, encountered
profit taking. The motors stocks
we're irregular and dealings were
on a small scale. Fensland ana
Mutual were the features of the oil
shares, both reaching new high rec
ords under rather urgent buying.
Standard Oil of Indiana started
slightly higher, and then reacted
and Mexican Seaboard moved IN
similar manner Independent Lead
was an outstanding feature in the
mining list, advancing several
points to a new high record for all
time.

CORN OUGHT NOT
HAVE DEEP SOIL
Advice on Planting Is Given BY
University Of illinois Expert;
Depth One to Two Inches.

Do not plant corn too deep, is
the advice OF the College of agri-
culture of the University Of Iili-
nois.
Experiments on depth OF plant
ing conducted by the Illinois, In
diana and Ohio experiment stations
show that the greatest yields were
obtained by planting the corn one
to two inches deep" says a state
ment issued today. ain light, open
soils or in dry soil the corn may
be planted deeper. In heavy or
wet soils shallow planting should
be practiced, otherwise the plant
lets may not be able TO force their
way up to the surface. In any soil,
the corn need be planted only deep
enough to insure rapid, vigorous
termination. Any greater depth of
planting requires the consumption
OF an unnecessarily large amount
Of plant food stored in the kernel
before the plantlet reaches the sur
face
when a grain of corn germi-
mates, a root starts out downward
from the tip of the kernel. Short
ly afterwards the stem pushes out
above. About the same time one
or more additional temporary roots
develop from the germ. These
roots are of Importance in supply
ing nourishment for the plant only
a short time. when the plant is
a few days old a cluster of perma-
nent roots begin to form. These
grow out from the joints of the
stalk about one inch below the sur
face of the soil.
1T seems to make little differ
ence whether the corn is planted
one inch or five or six inches deep,
these permanent roots come out at
about the same depth below the
surface. These roots rapidly ex-
tend outward and downward. The
most extensive development of the
root system in the early stages is
within the first few inches of the
surface. Here is where the most
/ available plant food is to be found
and they reach out instinctively to
that portion of the environment
which will yield them the easiest
living. Later the roots extend
much deeper until at maturity they
may under favorable conditions fill
the soil to a depth OF three or four
feet or even deeper.
at seems, therefore, that the
plant regulates the depth of its
root system regardless of the
depth of planting"

ALL LIVESTOCK
TRADE is SLOW;
HOGS UP ADIME
tBy Consolidated Press)

(By Consolidated Rress.l
U. s. Yards, Chicago, May IA
Livestock trade did not amount TO
much today. No good cattle ar
rived. While the live mutton trade
was in bad shape during the week,
yet sellers look for some improve
ment next week. II is not expect
ed that big killers will have as
much direct stuff as they did during
the present period. Receipts were
estimated at 500 cattle: $500 hogs;
1000 sheep and 500 calves.
CATTLE.
OF the fresh run big killers had
about 200 direct, and there was lit
tie left for the open market. Small
lots were picked up at unchanged
price levels. Cattle prices started
higher this week, but fell back
again later, steers and cows clos
ing about where they were a week
ago with some easy spots for plain
steers. Gamers held steady, but
bulls dropped 25c. Calves, how
ever. closed as much as 81 higher
in spots, with the general run 80
975c up.
HOGS.
Hog trade was strong from the
opening. lights and light butchers
going at $1,000. Some 220@300
pounds hogs sold at S10.5OG 1875
and these were 5010c higher Only
about $500 were held over from
yesterday. A week ago top hogs
sold at $1075 while the top of the
market for the present week was
$11. Rough packing hogs sold at
S9.25@950. Medium and heavy
grades were strong at the close.
SHEEP.
The market was hardly more
than a nominal one today. Some
small lots sold steady compared
with the day before, but the gen
eral market for both lambs and
aged stock closed 10 cents to 81
below the levels noted a week ago.

ARMOUR SALES
PUT TOBOCCAN
UNDER WHEAT
tBy Consolidated Press.)

Chicago, May I3-Trade in wheat
was featureless until the last 80
minutes Of the session. Previous
to that time firm tone was noted
with buying. mostly local. A fea-
ture at the opening was the buying
OF 100000 bushels of September by
an export house. Leading longs
put a little May wheat into the pit
on the bulge about 1880 a. m. and
this was followed up by sales by
Armour and this started many of
the local longs to unload. Late
features reacted with them. Ar
mour houses were credited with
selling these futures. There were
100000 busels of wheat bought to
come to this market and lbs, 900
bushels of this was Nebraska hard
winter, sold by Minneapolis mills
to be shipped via Duluth. The do
nestle milling demand was quiet.
Weather and crop news was favor
able. The early purchase of Sep
tember wheat was said to repre-
sent that amount of new wheat
sold for export but seaboard ad
vised that bids were below the
market Receipts continue heavy.
Market closed Ac to &c off. May
1. As Il @1.4312; July 1.25 to 1.25 Is;
September, 1.18%@119.
There was liquidation in May
corn throughout the session and
that contract reacted heavily.
Country houses sold a little July
The late futures eased off with
wheat. Corn planting is nearing
completion under ideal weather
conditions The demand for cash
corn is poor both for domestic and
export account. Market closed Il
to 12c lower; May, SOY; July, GA
@64@; Sept, 66c.
Oats were dull. Cash houses
sold July but there was some buy
ing of May by shippers. Cash de-
mand was good and exporters took
some round lots. Market closed Il
to 1ac lower; May, 371s; July 391s;
Sept, 49%.
There was very little rade in pro-
visions. Locals sold and here was

nathetic buying in some OF the 9TH

automobile group and Transcon-
tinental Oil in the oil group stood
ont eonspicuously. But at no time
did these advances take away from
the prominence of the steels as

ROULETTE WHEEL IS
MANUFACTURED OF
GRAPHOPHONE DISC

Key West, Fla. - Maybe they've
stopped making roulette wheels, or
perhaps Manual Gonzales, operator
of a coffee shop here, didn't have a
catalog showing where one might
be obtained. Anyway, such incon-
veniences didn't bother Manuel
when he decided to install one in
the rear of his place recently. Of
ficers raided the shop, seized the
layout and upon examination dis
covered the wheel was home made,
manufactured from a disc graph
ophone record. The record had been
panied, had numbers from 1 to 30,
and officials who scraped some Of
the paint away, discovered it was
originally vocal rendition OF
There's No Place Like Home"
Gonzales failed to tell the court
whether the title of the hidden song
was a warning to those who buck
ed the wheel or whether he re-
garded it as a lucky omen for the
house"
