Make Your Own Soil Tests.

The agricultural editor of the
NEWS enjoys nothing better than
to have friends of this paper
come in and talk over farm ques-
tions. One of the subjects that
interests every farmeris lime and
its effects. This question has
been discussed in this office fre-
quently, and each time it seems
to grow more interesting. Nearly
every farmer has now learned
how to determine when his soil
is acid by closely observing the
condition of the clover and other
legume crops. But there are
times when actual ch e m cal
tests are desirable. Every man
or boy in the County may make
this test at a cost of less than a
cent. A small book of litmus pa
per may be had at our drug stores
for ten cents. By wetting a
small piece of this paper with
mud made from the soil to be
tested, the paper will turn color
if it needs lime or in other
words, if the soil is acid. Drop

How Are You Using Your Voice.
Written by v. M

Written by V. M.
or all the beautiful gifts God
has blest us with, our voice is
one of the greatest.
The question is, what use are
we making of it? Are we using
it to praise the glver or to cause
him sorrowY Oh! | fear the lat
ter Is just the use too many OF
US are putting our voice to. When
we should be singing, praying or
making peace somewhere, we
are swearing or quarreling or
talking about our nelghbor. Now
that is one of the very worst
ways. When you are with your
trends and conversation lags
don't take God 8 voice he lets you
use and waste it in discussing
your man. You may be accus-
ing him right, and may be all
wrong. If you are blaming him,
or her, tor something they are
not guilty of, what an awful sin!
Don't you see you will answer
for as much SIN as you are blam-
ing them forY Do not be toe
ready to accuse. Titus 1;15 say s
"Unto the pure all things are
pure, but unto them that are de.
hled and unbelieving is nothing
pure but even their mind and
couclence Is detiled."
Don't you see If you let Satan
put these dark things of your
neighbor into you mind, and you
cause your voice to utter them,
10 time you are gong to fully be
lieve them-even though they be
innocent and then you will hate
the person. Read first John 4:3O

ters for the discussion of farm
troubles this winter. We are in
position to settle many knotty-
as we'll as naughty" troubles at
no cost to you.

The two secretaries of the Nevada

faithfully toward the equipment of
the battleship Nevada with Christ
ian Endeavor library, consisting of
bibles, song books and a complete
Christian Endeavor workers library.
Besides the two secretaries, many
prominent men and women of the
state are giving their aid that the
young people of Nevada may have the
opportunity to look after the spiritual
welfare of every man on board our
own battleship and to assist in the
army and navy departments, which is
doing much valuable work for the
young men in the service OF Uncle
Sam
The men usually enlist between the

work which has so long been over

great opportunities for good. A gift
of this kind would help to keep our

them see that they are not forgotten
while away on duty and it may be the
means of their returning to former
homes better citizens than when they
entered the service of Uncle Sam.

reached many races and nations and
has wonderfully stimulated church
union. 1t has not only deepened the
interest in the mission study, bible
study, evangelism, stewardship and
person conservation, but promoted the
cause of peace and temperance as
well. 1t has made young humanity
less fearless to expose their beliefs in
an all Supreme being and has done
as much for the church and now at
the beginning of its seth year it is
stronger than ever and faces the fu-

last July this organization started
its Campaign for Millions" with the
motto, Mobilize, Vitalize. Evange-

new members, million new converts
uniting with the churches. a million
new dollars for missions and ten
thousand new societies of Christian
Endeavor. Therefore Nevada must
have 20 new societies and 1000 men,

SALONIKI, Greece, Feb. 2. = The
temporary Serbian refugee camp lies
in the vacant lot back or the Russian
hospital For only short time ago
Saloniki was a Turkish city, and as in
all the leading towns of the Ottoman
Empire. each nation with any import
ant colony had its own hospital, its
own schools, its own postoffice, as 1t
had it's own consulate So there is
Russian hospital at Saloniki.
1t is an imposing and wellequip-
ped building in an elaborate setting
OF formal gardens, such as might
surround the railway station of any
prosperous American suburban town.
In contrast, the vacant lot behind the
hospital grounds is barren, a dump
ing ground, full of mud holes, un.
drained and morose.
Here are pitched some twenty-five
tents that shelter over twelve humid
red men, women and children whose
whole stock OF worldly possessions is
what they carried with them on their
flight from war-hayed Serbia. Some
came by train, before II was too late.
They have beds. trunk or two OF
clothing to family possibly an Ameri
can sewing machine. But most fed

agony, tearing their peasant hearts
reluctantly from their native soil
They have the clothes they stand In.
Perhaps there is homespun blan.
ket between two or three.
From the inside, the canvas of the
oval tents shows yellow and apaque,
under the rain of every day. The
ground is wet with the continual COM
ing and going OF muddy feet, shod
only with fimsy sandals. Badly gut
tered around the edges the canvas
walls of the tents let tiny rivulets
trickle across the floor In some the
women, haunting the allies docks and
camps, have salvaged few panks,
torn from box tops. These nailed to-
gether serve to raise sleeping blan-
kets an inch or two above the ground.
Luxury! The greater part have spread
their wet blankets on the wet earth.
The men in the camp by day are
old. those too old to night. Or they
are the manned relics of battle. The
Serbs who can tight did not fee. They
are with what Is left of their country's
army, still fighting In the mountains
of Albania somewhere. or on the Dor
derland of Greece. The women do not
know where thery are. They do not
even know II they live. And II they
be dead, they will never know where
they died, nor where they lie buried
One tent after another reveals mis-
cry indescribable Around their sides
In the pouring rain, feeble old mer
clad in patched rags seek to dam the
torrents that continually are break
