CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. 1'pv.ard Swing Given Corn Market by Re ports oi crop vamage in jowa. Chicago, Aug. 15. Increased gravity of crop damage reports, especlaly regarding Iowa, gave an upward slant today to the corn market.

Th outcome in provisions varied from 5 cents decline to a rise of 7 cents. Although at first the corn market eased down owing to numerous rains, It soon be came apparent that sellers had grown wary, and that crop Injury was assuming propor tions wnicn in trad In general was unpre pared for. The Iowa atate report alone In dicated a yield 62,000,000 bushels less than the latest estimate from Washington. Bulls had an advantage also In the fact that re ceipts were small. About midday, senti ment was somewhat disturbed by peace Rossip, but the effect failed to last. Offer ings were small throughout the session. Talk of liberal sales to army camps put strength into the oats market. On the other hand, Indiana and Ohio were said to b. supplying the east, and underselling Chi cago. Buying on the part of houses with stock yard connections made provisions average higher. Notice was taken too of t,he fact that restrictions On the use of bacon In England has been removed.

A Little Information to the Public About MAS Main Office Omaha National Bank Building, Rooms, 708-712 THE STANDARD POTASH COMPANY owns, by purchase, a 50-year leise on about 20,000 acres of deeded land adjoining the townsite of Lakeside, Neb. On this leased land there are located from thirtj to forty lakes. Under the beds of most of these lakes is found the Potash. 1 v Producing Potash is really a mining proposition. vTou have first got to prospect under the water of these lakes to find the location of the Potash beds. When the Pot- ! ash is found, it is mined by sinking a large number, of well points through the bottom of the lakes to the potash beds. These well points lire then all connected together to the pumping system, which carries the Potash brine in solution by ft pipe line to the reduction works. The process is then simply a matter of evaporation by the use of immense boiler capacity to make steam to operate the, large evaporators. The water is separated from the Potash by this process. The Potash is then run through the driers and from the driers to the grinders, to be put in merchantable condition for the market. The drier capacity ofJthc STANDARD POTASH COMPANY consists of four 450-horae-power Babcock & Wilcox boilers, a unit as large as it takes to operate a street railway company. The evaporator and driers ate very large affairs and the plant as a whole has the appearance of a largo smelting plant., After about one year's work on the STANDARD POTASH COMPANY plant it ' has now about completed its first 50-ton unit, and is expected to be under operation early this coming October, ready to produce potash for the market. The foundation fov the second 50-ton unit is now in and, as the boiler capacity is large enough for these two units, it will only take a short time to equip the second unit with evaporator and driers. The STANDARD POTASH COMPANY will then' have a complete 100-ton daily, capacity plant ' ' Investors who have held stock in the older, legitimate Potash plants have been paid very large dividends on their investment, and have been pleased to find that ' the increase in the market value of their stock has doubled a number of times; in fact, it is almost impossible to obtain any stock in these older companies at a price less than v from $400 to $800 per share. Investors who want to get into the Potash business now , cannot tlo better than investigate the STANDARD POTASH COMPANY. Up to the,. present time the stock of the company has been selling at par $100 per sharebut owing to the nearness of the operating of this plant, this stock may soon increase in xi price, and probably before thirty days there will be none of the jtock for sale at less than $200 per share. - ' - 'v. There have been no promotion or selling expenses charged against the selling of this stock. Every cent of the proceeds of the stock has been used in the purchase of the ; lease and the building of the plant. The lease was secured 'at a very low price, and ' there is no officer, director or other parties connected with the STANDARD POTASH COMPANY who holds stock who lias not paid par value in money for it, consequently ',. investors will get into a company that is ready for business and has absolutely no promotion stock, or "water" as it is called, to absorb the earnings of the plant i . THE STANDARD POTASH COMPANY has not a, million dollars in stock for sale, ) as some of the companies advertise, but has a small amount of unsold stock which 'is now . offered to the public at par. " v , It is advisable to act quickly if you are interested in the best Potash proposition , 1 on the market. Stock not sold in less than five share lots. . ' For further information you can obtain Rame by writing, phoning or calling at the . ; Omaha office of the STANDARD , POTASH COMPANY, Omaia National Bank Build ing, where you can obtain the names of a number of prominent business and professional men who hold stock in this company and whom you can confer with as to the truth of the above statements. These gentlemen have no objection to your advising with them, -i but they do not care to have their names made public in connection with any concern. 1 FRANK E.
