NE W YORK MARKET $ I | | | AWAIT |NG COOL|DGE'S VIEWS
Firm Stand On Threatened Coal Strike Is Now
 Expected
By WALTER II. BROWN. Editor New York Commercial Leased Wire To The Arc-HeraId)


 NEW YORK, August 13.-Manifest- ly the stock market is still awaiting developments from Washington parti- cularly with referencse to President Coolidge's policies. The attitude is one of hopeful expectancy. In fact throughout the country the disposi- tion is shown to give the new Presi- dent fair chance and with it an underculrent to feeling that he will make good.
 The first announcement of any con sequence was that he had assured the coal commission that he would give It his fullest support and this Indirect statement was sufficient to offset much of the influence caused by the resignation of the Cuno gov ernment of Germany.
 O O O
 Europe Is Gloomy.
 Affairs in Europe are naturally being viewed with some apprenhen- sion as none can tell what a day may bring forth. The idea is, how ever, to await developments rather now stand, one mans guess is as good as another.
 While it cannot be said there is any uncertainty with regard to President Coolidge, there is a natural desire to await action on his part. This in itself would be sufficient to hold active operations in check but when the grave uncertainty as to Europe is also taken in to considera- tion it can be we'll understood why there should be feeling of restraint in respect to anything more than routine operation.
 Q O O
 Turnover Small.
 The Turnover in today's market t amounted to only 327,000 shares for the tive-hour session, an amount of business that has on many previous occasions been transacted within the space of half an hour.
 As matters stand the technical position of the market favors an upturn and there are evidences in a number of directions of an over sold condition. Within the narrow limits of today's trading it was found that the slightest demand for stocks sent them upward very easily, all though there were times when offer ings did not find such ready re- sponse.
 Apart from the German difficult ties the stage seems to be set in favor of forward movement in stocks but in view of the present uncertainty it is not exactly the part of wisdom to take too much for granted.

government to obey the Constitution and the laws of the land. Contracts or covenants and the keeping of them are basic to stability in all re- lationships. If the contract between labor and capital or capital and labor is broken, industrial confusion re- suits. If the contract upon which is founded the home is broken, do nestle tranquility disappears. So r. is if the contract of any considerable ernment is broken, In such case the very foundations of government would be undermined.
 Strong appeal, therefore, should be made to every citizen to keep his sacred contract with the govern ment whence he derives all his lb- critics. privileges and powers. When such appeals fail then the citizens who do not abide by the law should be made to feel the full force of the Eenalty, regardless of their rank or station
 And for what do such citizens fritter away their high standing? have already told in some detail of the character of bootleg liquor, but wish to emphasize here again its poisonous nature. Says the editor of an Oklahoma newspaper:
 If our local judges would sent ence bootleggers and moonshiners to drink some of their own stuff it would do more to put them out of business than any other sentence that could be passed upon them. The news circulated from sheriffs' of fees that they have found at times quantities of mash in process of fer mentation that contained dead rats and other vermin ought to be a thirst quencher.
 But what is a dead rat or two to a booze fighter?"

punishment of those Americans in high position who are convicted or aiding the bootlegger and the moon- sinner in their nefarious work. such otherwise impeachable citizens plot at home, in much the same fashion as those leaving our sores on their illicit errand plot abroad, and their punishment should be identical.
 Would it not be a matter of plain and simple justice that we should deny to the consprator against our laws the protection of those laws" Should he be permitted to use. in protection of his personal and prop flaunts with respect to the gratifica- ton of his personal appetites?
 Conviction by the courts, on charges of conspiracy, of a dozen outstanding and conspicuous boot leggers would do more, in my judg- ment, to end the illegal liquor trat- fife than the jailing of hundred retail bootleggers. If one or two big buyers of wealth and influence were sent to jail in each of few American cities many of the boot legGcrs in those cities would soon be under the necessity of abandoning their business.
 And that very thing is on the way, The day is not far distant when the same jail that houses the convicted bootlegger will house also his ac- complice in crime, the wealthy buyer of his illicit product,

And, while not all the buyers of bootleg are wealthy, many of them are, and nearly all such buyers are men ana women of higher than average means One cannot buy ten dollar bootleg on a five dollar income.

 Public Asked To Report Violations.
 Not every woman or man can go out and physically destroy a still, nor is such drastic action necessary. Far more quickly will the stills be destroyed and the Illicit liquod evil ended for all time if the wives and husbands of America, the young men and the young women, will but shUn the illegal product. Passive resist ance of this sort would accomplish within few weeks what active and aggressive enforcement will be years in bringing to pass.
 I have never made a specific ap- peal to the public to report liquor violations, but l wish to heave with the reader this thought;
 If you saw murder in the mall- ing, would you notify the authori- ties? If you saw q firebug at work, would you tell the police? If you Saw thief at his illegal undertak- Ing, would you say anything about it? Indeed, the supreme court has said that it is not only your privl-, lege but your duty to do this.
 And this further thought:
 He is a short-sighted citizen wo fails to see in the bootlegger of to- day the spirit of the murderer, the firebug and the thief It is time that the citizen upon whom we depend to uphold our laws awakens to the fact that bootleggings is rot a mere pas- time, but a nefarious and traitorous business

 Statistics show that British terri tory on the north and just off the east coast of the United States is be- ing used as base for the wholesale smuggling of intoxicating liql ors into this country. There is no more excuse for the use of adjacent terri tory for conspiracies against the pro hibiton law-a law carrying out the constitution and sustained by the su- preme court-than for the use of such territory for conspiracies against any other law of the land.

 "The easiest way to punish such citizens is to withdraw citizenship from them when they leave the coun- try for the purpose of violating their country's laws. If they violate the laws while in the country they can be punished as criminals. Why should they receive the protection of their government while conspirlns against their countrys statutes?

NEW BULLETIN ISSUED
"Legumes in Relation to Soil FertiI-
 ity" Tile of Publication

At BURN, Ala, August 13.-(Spe- cial. .)-"Legumes in Relation to Soil Fertility" is the title of timely bull letin just issued by the Alabama Ex- pertinent station, It was written by Prof. M. J. Funchess and is a story of experimental work with legumes and fertilizers conducted at Auburn and throughout Alabama during the last several years.
 At the outset Professor Funchess points out that "one of the most im- portant problems confronting the farmers of Alabama is that of in creasing the fertility of their farms" and adds: Rural communities which secure low crop yields are not in a position to maintain good homes, good roads good schools and good churches which are necessary for a healthy and contented rural popula- tion." ..e.s
 1n' a summary. Professor Funchess declares that:
 l. The chief needs of Alabama soils. from a fertility standpoint, are nitrogen and organic matter.
 ?. These needs can be supplied most economically by the addition of both summer and winter legumes to the cropping system
 I. The maintenance of an adequate supply of phosphorus and, on many soils, the use of lime, are necessary for the most successful growth of most winter legumes.
 4. X cover crop of vetch has re. turned net profit of approximately fl0 per acre in experiments at Au burn.
 }. The yield of corn planted contin- uously on the same land has been approximately maintained for 2T years by planting peas in the corn middles at the last cultivation, and the peas turned under for the next crcp of corn.
 6. Corn planted continuously on the same land, but without peas at the last cultivation, has declined in yield to approximately 50 per cent of the yields obtained in earlier years.
 '. Cotton yields have been more tl an doubled, and corn yields nearly doubled, by the addition of peas and clover in a three year rotation at Auburn.
 s. The use of lime may be very profitable One dollar invested Tn lime has returned SS.50 in the eXperi- ments at Jackson, Clarke county.
 g. Vetch, crimson clover, annual yellow melilotus and bur clover are the best cover crops for Alabama conditions. /
