Reasons 
Why 
V 
A Transportation Reason —So 
the dealer can order out his 
fertilizer in cars loaded to full 
capacity, which hold twice as 
much as average-loaded cars. 
Just half as many cars are 
needed—the other half are set 
free for other uses. Freight con¬ 
gestion is relieved. You stand a 
better chance of getting your 
fertilizer. 
A Patriotic Reason —So all our 
industries, all our national re¬ 
sources, all our efforts can give 
a full measure of war-time ser¬ 
vice, and so fertilizers can have 
a chance to increase our na¬ 
tional food supply.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
domestic.—P roceedings aimed at 
alleged unlawful combinations in control 
of the fish industry were brought by the 
Federal Government under the Sherman 
act .Tune 21 against the Boston Fish Pier 
Comitany. the New England Fish Ex¬ 
change. the Bay State Fishing Company, 
the Boston Fish Market Corporation and 
the Commonwealth lee and Storage Com¬ 
itany. The bill alleges that the com¬ 
panies have agreements involving fixing 
of maximum prices for buying and min¬ 
imum prices for selling fish and that 
through them practically all the fish 
coming in on the northern Atlantic coast 
is marketed. The Government asks that 
the Boston Fish I’ier Company, the Bay 
State Fishing Company and the New 
England Fish Exchange be dissolved. 
Forty-one wholesalers of Boston are 
named as owning all the capital stock of 
the New England Fish Exchange, each 
dealer owning one share. 
Charles F. Phillips and Oweu Cattell, 
the Columbia students accused of con- 
.spiring to induce other persons n*ot to 
register under the Federal draft law, 
were found 'guilty in the United States 
New York June 21, 
to the mercy of the 
District Court at 
and recommended 
trial judge. 
Travellers from 
southwestern Alaska 
report that ISIount Douglas and Blount 
Iliamna, volcanoe.s on the west shore of 
Cook Inlet, are di.scharging fire, ashes 
and smoke, and that the activity of these 
peaks is increasing. The entire Aleutian 
range, from Cold Bay, Shelikoff Strait, to 
Mount Iliamna, ap.icars to be ablaze. 
Mount Douglas had been silent 1.5 .real’s. 
The main core of the mammoth reser¬ 
voir of the Price River Irrigation Com¬ 
pany. near Fairview, LRah, impounding 
11,()(X) acre feet of -w’ater. broke .Tune 24. 
The water poured through a break ,50 
feet wide, while five feet of water rushed 
over the top of the dam. Farmers were 
taking refuge on higher ground. 
Minnesota’s War Safety Committee, 
ci’oated by the 1937 Legislature to solve 
war-time problems because the State 
Constitution forbade the Legislature to 
remain in session more than 90 days 
once every two years, is dealing rigor¬ 
ously with the liquor traffic in that State. 
Under the orders of the War Committee, 
beverage-liquor drinking, whether of 
“hard liquors” or beer or wine, would 
seem to be confined exclnsivel.v to the* 
male sox, except within private homes. 
No woman can be sei-ved -with liquor in 
any licensed restaurant, cafe, or hotel, 
and no woman is permitted to enter such 
a place, under the orders issued by the 
IVar Committee. Practically and legally, 
a woman in Minnesota cannot drink a 
high ball, a glass of beer, or of wine, or 
an.v alcoholic beverage, excejit in her 
home, for the War Committee's order ^r- 
bidding beverage servico'-to women in any 
public bar, cafe, “or therefrom,” has heeli 
construed to forbid such service to the 
women guests of a hotel in their rooms. 
The United States Grand .Tnry. in a 
report at Sew’ard, Alaska, .Tune 2.5, as¬ 
serts that certain Feder.il employees op¬ 
posing the war are .seeking to delay Fed¬ 
eral projects and enterprises in Alaska. 
The charge had been made that opening 
of the coal field was being wilfull.y de¬ 
layed. The present finding also appar¬ 
ently covers the United States railroad. 
_ Samuel V. Perrott. chief of the In¬ 
dianapolis police, and five others wore 
found guilty of a conspiracy to commit 
election frauds in . nnection with the 
1914 registration and election by a jur.v 
in United States District Court .Tune 25. 
The others convicted were Roy A. Pope, 
police captain; Wayland Sanders and 
Morton C. Ilulse, police sergeants; I^ee 
Stringer, city detective, and Herman F. 
Adam, city inspector of -w'eights and 
measures. A seventh defendant, Frank 
M', .Johnson, a patrolman, -w'as acquitted. 
Mrs. Celia Diamond, who owned the 
Diamond candy factory in Williamsburg. 
N. Y., which burned in 1915, causing 12 
deaths, was released under a suspended 
sentence by Supreme Court .Tnstice Cal¬ 
laghan in Brooklyn June 26, for violation 
of the labor law in allowing an exit to he 
locked during -work hon-.s. ^Mrs. Diamond 
pleaded guilty. The disposal of her case 
is practically the last chapter of the 
tragedy. Samuel Barkin. tenant, in 
whose premises was the locked trapdoor, 
is serving a sentence of from two to five 
years. Mrs. Diamond's husband, Ed¬ 
ward I.. IHamond. who acted as her 
agent, is free, the indictment against 
him having been dismissed. 
The severe.st earthquake recorded since 
its installation 10 years ago, was shown 
•Tune 26 by the tape of the seismograph 
at the Museum of Natural History, in 
New York. The disturbances lasted two 
hours and twent.v minutes. Tlie calcula¬ 
tions of Chester A. Reeds, acting curator 
of geology, indicate ^hey originated .‘{..500 
to .5.000 miles to the southwe.st. Mr. 
Roods believes a i.i.'<as(or. has-occurred in 
the soulhern Pacino or on the southwe.st 
coast of South America, possih'lv near 
Chile. 
Newspapers containing licpior adver- 
ti.semonts cannot he circulated through 
the mails in the .500 “bone dry” towns in 
New York State or in the cities which 
may go “dry” under the Hill-Wheeler 
local option law roc ntly signed by Gov. 
Whitman. A similar provision in the 
cit.v local option law makes it unlawful 
“to solicit, accept or procure” in “dry” 
territory “an order deliver or send to 
another, or for another, liquor in any 
quantity, where tlie ])erson for whom 
such liquor is procured resides in any 
such territory.” 
Trial of Emma Goldman and Alexan¬ 
der Berkman in connection with the ac¬ 
tivities of the No-Conscription League 
liegan in New York .Tune 27. Threats of 
anarchi.st violence against the officials 
engaged in the prosecution and evidence 
of Teutonic activities in the anti-draft 
movement are engaging the special at¬ 
tention of the authorities. 
FABM AND GABDEN.—The British 
Government will jiermit the expoi’t of 
45.000 bales of raw wool to the United 
States. The Department of Commerce 
secured this permit, and will see that the 
wool is distributed equably as far as pos¬ 
sible. 
Dr. Henry .T. Waters, president of the 
Kansas State Agricultural College and 
also president of the Kansas Council of 
Defence, made announcement .Tune 25 of 
a campaign to induce tlie planting of 
10,(X)0,000 aci’es of wheat in Kansas next 
Pall. Demonstration trains in charge of 
experts will be run through the State to 
inform farmers as to the be.st methods of 
preparing the soil for seeding. 
Record prices have been obtained for 
over 200,OW pounds of wool sold co-op¬ 
eratively by 1,600 Ontario farmers under 
the auspices of the Ontario Sheep Breed¬ 
Jnly 7, 1917. 
ers’ Association, Prices averaged well 
over CtO cents a pound, believed to be the 
highest in the history of Canada. In 
1913. before the war, wool sold at 12 to 
1.5 cents a pound. This is the first year 
Ontario farmers have sold wool co-opei’- 
atively. The quantity disposed of was 
valued at about $139,000. Ontario’s an¬ 
nual output is about 2,000,000 pounds. 
At a meeting of the board of trustees 
of Cornell I'niver.sity .Tune 26 they 
elected Prof. A. B. Mann of New’ Y"ork 
Cit.v dean of the New’ York State College 
of Agriculture. 
WASHINGTON.—The Senate com¬ 
mittee by a vote of 8 to 6 .Tune 21. set¬ 
tled the question of the portion of the 
war tax burden w’hieh the publishers of 
the United States shall bear by voting 
an increa.se of ^4 cent a pound in the 
second class mail rate, making it l^^ 
cents a pound, and a tax of 5 per cent, 
on the net profits of newspapers, maga¬ 
zines and periodicals. The tax w’ill be 
subject to an exemption from taxation of 
ajl net profits under .$4,000 per annum. 
No exceptions have been made to the 
taxation on behalf of any class of publi¬ 
cations so that unless the later delibera¬ 
tions of the committee shall result in 
some changes being written into the bill 
I'cligions. fraternal and labor publica¬ 
tions will receive the same treatment un¬ 
der the law as priv’ately ow’ned publica¬ 
tions of general oircnlation. The com¬ 
mittee tentatively has adopted the House 
proposal for an increase of one cent an 
ounce in the cost of mailing first-cla.ss 
matter. Tender this change every letter 
would require three cents postage an 
emnoe or fraction thereof. Also it teua- 
tivel.v has stricken from the bill the 
Hou.se’s increase in the rate for post¬ 
card.? to two cents each instead of one 
cent, the present rate. 
President Wilson .Tune 2.3 signed an 
order authorizing the creation of a Board 
of Exports Coiitrol, or Exports Council. 
The board, W’hich is to regulate the ex¬ 
port of certain commodities over which 
the pow’crs of supeiwision are necessai’.y 
for the W’clfare of America and its allies 
in the war. is composed of repres” da¬ 
tives of the Departments of Stale, Wai’, 
and Navy and the Food Administrator. 
Recommendations have been agreed upon 
which will effect 'a complete blockade of 
the Central I’owers, a blockade that has 
been only nominal in the past. The 
council also is disposed to force the ship- 
nient of the 200,000,000 bushels of wheat 
in Canada before the American supply is 
drawn upon. Member.? of the council 
said .Tune 26 that the immediate action in 
propect would be designed to prevent 
any American products whatever from 
reaching Germany, to conserve fooilstnlTs 
and war materials for the use of the 
Fnited States and her allies and to bring 
almut a market W’hich would permit of 
prices more nearly normal.
