The government has recently removed the restriction on the production or use of lime or crushed or pulverized limestone for agricultural
purposes. This -will he welcomed hy
the fiartners of the county who desire
to apply lime to their land during the
coming spring. Samples of soil from
20 farms of the county have been tested for acidity by the County Farm
Bureau. Practically all of these have
showed an acid reaction and applications from one and one-half to two
and one-half "tons was necessary to
correct this and provide .the best soil
condition for the growth of farm
crops. The clovers and alfalfa especially respond to applications of lime.
It is almost impossible to secure a
stand of alfalfa within the county
without a quantity of finely ground
limestone. --
, .There .are a number of different
forms.of lime that can be used for agricultural purposes but experiment
shows the most economic form to use
is the finely pulverized limestone..
Applications clan be made at any sear
son of tfi§ ySar bat< best°results will
be obtained-where. it is spread so°-
-thaftt" can be tfforoughly^worked, into
the soil during the
"and for planting.
The Farm Bureau Jhas^a record "of
Ai8 tons of ground limestone that was
used in the county during*=fche past
season. Plans sliould he made for the
use .of many more tons during the
coming season^ Injmany^cases sever-'
al farmers went togethefrand ordered
ift in carload lots. Informatioji regarding its use and its effect upon the
soil wiM; h& feladly provided by the
County Farm Bureau office.
A 'good gra4e of marl can be used^
for the same purpose, as the?" ground
limestone. The composTtion of . it
varies so much, that when so iJsed, it
is usually ^ applied "in -twic% the

BUY FIFTH LIBERTY
BONDS AND BE SAFE
About the saddest thing in the
world is to undergo self-denial for
years, to save money and then to see
the "rainy day fund" wiped out by the
failure of some "wild cat" scheme
This happens every day. ."Widows
and hard-working men are credulous.
They listen to the oily promises of
get rich quick" promoters aSfi hand
over their savings to slick salesmen
with "blue sky" securities promising
impossible profits.
And whea tlie bolt falls out. of a
clear sky the pitiful savings of years
disappear in an instant. "The Bonanza Patroil Co. has gone up. "We are
ruined!" Then there is nothing to do
but begin life all over—and at a time
time when earning capacity lias begun to ebb and the way is thornier
than ever before.
"Whatever the temptation may have
been in the past to do this thing, there
is no excuse for it now. Hundreds of
thousands of experienced publicity
and investment men have been at work
for nearly two years, under the authority of the American Government,
educating millions of people in the
fine art of safe investing. It is undoubtedly the fact that more people
are saving money today than ever before in all the history of the world,
Afld more of the people are interest-
ad in the proper handling of their

LOW COliT OF LIYIKG. V" ~
We hear much about theTiigh cost
of living, but we overlook the fact
that^rSany of^the best things of life
can be had for nothing. ""^
,-,It costs nothing'%> stand upland
walk-and breathy properly.
Fresh air in the home is free.
No expense in taMng a few simple
exercise^each morning.
It costs nothing to chew the food
fhoroly.
Ik costs nothing to select the food
best suited to the body. St
It,c.osts nothing to clean" th£ teeth
twice a day.  ,_
It costs nathlng to stop using patent
medicenes.
it costs no more to read real good-
books than trash. '     - - -
      _ _   _      _        tt costs nothing to havgQa cheerful,"
so far"as"tb7brgmUe "Sod "outline aJ=haPPy   aisposition   and^'top   having

the social and religious forces of Saline should get together and talk
things ov«r"and regulate matters. We
tolerate ceiftsuh- things until they-become a custom fixed and unnoticeable.
I was particularly struck witfi~_this
fact when* going .to young peoples'
meeting Sunday- evening. The lively
airs of a mechanical piano sounded
011 the street quite incongruous to religious worship and reflection, and
many "haveremarkfid upon this, but it
