EVEN the most progressive people are little
- backward about some things. You probably
know families yourself who have electric refrigera-
tors vacuum cleaners gas ranges all the latest i'm
provements-except the one that for Simon-pure
comfort and convenience is worth more than all the
others combined-autorndtic oil heat.
If you think this is exaggeraton talk to any OF the
hundreds of Nokol owners in this city and see
xhat they say about it. Every day have enthusi-
asic users thank for calling their attention to the
ieys Of Nokol oil heatand express regret for rob-
bing their families of this comfort for SO many years.
Until you've tried it,yoursef you'll have concep-
ton of what solid comfort and convenience-what
unaoyed pleasure there is for all the family in auto
matte oil heat You'll never know what contrast
there is between the old-fashioned heating methods
and the new; between putting dirty, dusty coal in
your basement and filling your tank with clean dust
less OIL between smoke, soot ashes the one hand
and spotless cleanliness on the other, between the
onth-in-and-month-out drudgery Of shoveling coal
and simply setting thermostat in the fall
And until you've the new silent Nokol in
action, you'll never know oil heat at its best.

WHEAT HAS UPWARD
TREND EARLY TODAY
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 2S.-Wheat
tended upward in the early dealings
today after something of a sag at the
start. Talk Of probable reduction of
Spring wheat acreage on account of
lateness Of the season was current.
Opening at 2s decline to "a advance.
wheat subsequently hardened all ,
around. Corn, coats and provisions
were easy, cora starting unchanged
to Il off and later holding near to the
initial range.
Special notice by wheat traders was
taken today of a report from a lead
ing crop expert that though central
North Dakota seeding is only just be-
ginning and that from the Canadian
line to Moosejaw, Saskatchewan, pra-
tlcally no seeding has been done. Ac-
cording to this authority, all low and
level land in the territory mentioned
is covered with water and many thou
sand acres Of wheat land are so wet
that they will not be seeded to wheat.
He adds that seeding will not be gen
eral for some days and that every de-
lay increases rHSt hazard
Aside from misgivings in regard tor
backwardness of new Spring wheat
seeding. it was also pointed out in
some quarters today that heavy shin
ments of old crop supplies to Europe
have been absorbed with firm to ad-
vancing market and that demand for
forward shipments continued un.

parently now far in excess of all early

IN BOND MARKET
Further Reaction in SpeCu-
Iative IsSues-HumbIe Oil
SIS Have Sharp Break.
BY CHARLES T. sPEARE.
.ial Dlspatch 10 Tho star.

SPECIAL Dispatch 10 Tho star.
NEW YORK, April ga series OF
moderate declines in different parts Of
the bond list today and the action Of
some recently placed issues gave the
general market a weaker appearance
than It has had in some time.
A further reaction in speculative
bonds was to have been expected IN
view Of the change that has come
over the market for speculative
stocks. The upbidding Of this group
has ceased, leaving a number of pop
ular issues 1 TO . n points lower than
they were last week, with the Erie
convertible Dis today about 10 points
under their recent high. At the same
time. however. tho local fractions con-
tinued their advance, with Third Ave-
nue., Hudson and Manhattan and In
terboro income and refunding mort
cages from quarter to point over
yesterdays closing.
An unusual incident was the break
Of points in Humble Oil and Re
fining debenture 5s on the closing OF
the syndicate which brought out a,
s25 900 900 issue at par ON April II
From the action of the market it ap
peared that the bonds had not been
well distributed and had felt the et-
feet Of the current pessimism over
the oil situation. The new SeabOard
Air Line issues also declined sharply
with the closing of the syndicate.
In contrast, an Offering today of the
Z per cent convertible bonds of an
italian corporation at 90 was followed
by an immediate premium on these
bonds of 3 points.
All of the Argentine government
per cent issues were off one-half to
f1RV.oe saxsf.0
with the new 1000 900 issue an
nounced today. Argentina. has been
one of the most persistent borrowers
in the American market with eight
per cent loans now outstanding here
aggregating S22O.OOO,OO0.
French bonds were steady. but
quiet. The Japanese group showed
evidence of less timidity on the part
OF investors. The Industrial Bank Of
Japan 6s, due August Is, which have
been selling at 99a, advanced to par
for the first time since the Japanese
banking crisis developed.
There was q better tone to some OF
the industrial issues that have been
under pressure, like Pierce Arrow SIS.
which rallied Az points from yester-
days low price. The Sinclair Gas and
Is gained fractionally. There was
some further reflection Of the nervous
ness over the New Orleans situation
in the market for New Orleans Pub
lie Service SIS. 1t is too early TO de
termlne how the various levee and
drainage bonds in the States OF Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and Louisiana will he
affected by the flood. Large amounts
of these bonds have been distributed
in the Middle West and the South.
AS an indication Of the falling re-
turn to the investor in tax-exempt
bonds the offerings today are sugges-
tive. Kansas City, Mo-, As are being
sold on a 3.92 basis, State of Illinois
As on about $3.50 basis, State of Ala
bama 4 las on a per cent basis and
State of South Dakota 4As on a 410
basis.

do not feel it necessary to make a

cause it is a we'll known fact that

see no reason why the immigration Eu
