FOR OUR COUNTRY
Great Patriotic 0utpouring Last
Thursday
TWO VERY ABLE ADDRESSES
The Jackie Band and the Mineral
Point Band Render Good Music.
Thomas M. kearney and Daniel H..
Gradv the Sneakers

Point Band Render Good Music.
Thomas M. kearney and Daniel n.
Grady the Speakers.
There was great Outpouring of pa
triotic citizens in Mineral Point last
Thursday; the national colors were in
evidence everywhere; and there were
throngs of people early on the streets.
The Jackie Band from the Great Lakes
naval training station and the Mineral
Point Band rendered stirring music
''For your Country" the meeting was
called; and the community responded
with great enthusiasm. Our people
gave the Jackie Band, the home band,
and the distinguished speakers most
hearty reception. After music and
cheers on the street, the Municipal
Theatre soon filled with people, who
were entertained with music and stirred
with patriotic thoughts well expressed
in words.
Mayor James w. Hutchison presided
and introduced Thomas M. PrieStley,
chairman of the Liberty Loan forces in
Iowa county. Mr. Priestley greeted the
gathering briefly and touchingly, and
made the pleasant announcement that
''this dear old town of ours had over
subscribed her allotment and that the
county would undoubtedly do the same.
Daniel H. Grady spoke first and de-
iyered splendid address-just such an
address as you would expect from a
gifted orator, able lawyer and right
| hearted American citizen.
Thomas M. Kearney of Racine, closed
the meeting. With his we'll known
power he deeply stirred the hearts OF
his hearers, informed their minds and
brought them to a common and right
understanding of the great war issue
before the country.
1t was a good meeting, helpful to the
community.

SOILS NEED LIME
BY George .. Springer, Emergency
Demonstration Agent.

The Crook Bros. are now operating
the limestone crusher they purchased
during the winter. This machine is
doing excellent work, grinding the ma
terial so that it will readily be available
in the soil, and SO that limestone
spreader can handle it easily.
This marks big step forward in the
agriculture Of Iowa county. Even
though this is natural limestone
county, and one can find good limestone
from one to eight feet below the surface
in large part Of the county, large
proportion Of our surface soil is so acid
that the legumes do not make the
growth they should. Several farmers
make the statement that red clover does
not do as we'll now as it did.a few years
ago. Many have noticed that alsike
clover does better now than does the
red clover. These are proofs that our
soils are becoming more acid and that
much farm soil is needing lime.
The partial survey of Iowa county
that has been made, points to the fact
that when we have sufficient limestone
in our soils alfalfa will grow success
fully. This has been shown by the fact
that our shallow sells, that are i'm
mediately underlain with lime rock
grow the crop very successfully. Where
''digging" have made, it has been no.
ticeable that crops, especially the
legumes, have made greater growth.
Testing Cf several Of these digglngs has
shown that they are sweet. Also sue
cessful fields of alfalfa have been found
where they have been washed over con
tinually from a lime ridge, in which
case the soil is tested sweet.
During the past year [ have found
but one field of alfalfa growing on real
sour soil, This was growing on very
rich land, however. Here three ton
application of limestone would double
the yield easily.
The limestone crusher is mounted on
trucks and can readily be hauled to any
farm where a suitable quarry can be
located. The big advantage of having
the quarry close to the farm lies in the
saving of time that it would take tC
| haul the same material from town. In
a great many cases, the extensive lin
! ing Of soils would be prohibitive because
j Of the long haul.
It is advisable to quarry the rock
| ahead of time so that it can dry out
! The crusher will pulyerize any material
but trouble had been experienced il
! elevating the wet material after crush
ing it. Farmers wanting crushing done
! should get the material out as quickly
as possible, and get in touch with the
! Crook Brothers,
Does your soil neeG lime ? A three
cent stamp will cover postage on {
sample from your fields. There are
! soils that do not need the lime-OtherS
need it badly. Which is yours? To
gether we can solve the limestone alfal-
ia problem.

TEN-TON ZOE PLANT
New Local Industry Will Re in Ope-
:. ration by June 18th.

1t Will be good news to the citizens
tof Walhalla that at an early date q
ten-ton daily capacity ice manufac-
turing plant will be established here.
The contracts have all been signed up
for the placing of the machinery and
appliances necessary to the manu-
facture Of Ice, the work to be done
and the plant completed and ready
for beginning the manufacture Of
ice by June 18th.
This step toward the meeting of a
grave need In Walhalla has been
taken by the Hetrick Hosiery Mills
Company, and the plant will be in
stalled III O portion of the Hetrick
Hosiery Mills that Is not now used
In the hosiery manufacturing bust
ness. Everything is in shape for the
active manufacture of ice so soon as
the plant Is installed. all water fa-
cilities being in excellent shape. The
mills some years ago had a deep we'll
bored, from which an abundant sup
ply OF the very purest water is OBJ
tanned, and this, before being used
for ice-making purposes, will be put
through a process of distillation, in
suring dOubly the absolute purity of
the product.
r. T. Jaynes. VIM. A. and Chas. T..
Hetrick are the movers in the matter
Of establishing the ice plant, an in
dustry that has been sorely needed
here for several years to insure the
serving Of all the people Of the COM
munity, many Of whom have been
forced by circumstances to do with
out ice or secure it from nearby
cities in order to be supplied. There
Is no other local industry that could
be assured Of more full and hearty
local support than an ice plant, few
citizens Of our town having been able
In the past to have their needs prop
erly met
In connection with the ice plant
the hosiery mill management will
also conduct an up-to-date cold stor-
age or refrigerating plant, which
will be utilized to public benefit.
we feel sure that the community
as whole will appreciate to an un-
usual degree the service that will be
rendered the public by the establish
ment OF this plant, which should
have the unanimous and hearty sup
port OF every one from the first days
operation.

BIG LIBERTY loan PARADE.
The Colored Parade In Interest of
Lean Will Fake Place Friday. a

The announcement last week that
tho colored Liberty Bond parade
would take place Friday, March IL,
was an error---one, however, for
which The Courier was in no way re-
sponsible, the copy" having been
furnished US as 1t appeared in the
paper. Early recognition Of the err
ror made it possible to correct al
most before the announcement had
gained full currency, and there was
little confusion in the way Of parties
from out of town coming in for the
parade. The program as arranged
in last weeks paper will be carried
out in fun, with some additions. The
gathering after the parade will be
in the Court House, and the public is
meeting as we'll as view the parade.
The Seneca Institute Band will take
care OF the music program. The col
ored people Of Walhalla are antici-
pating a great day, and their friends
from the county are expected to come
in large numbers.
Buy Liberty Bond" Is the ad-
vice being given to the colored citi-
zens OF this section by President
Hancock, of the Seneca Institute, and
w. j. Thomas, principal of the Wal
halla cOlored school.

We welcome you to Waihalla on
Friday, April 10, and assure you that
we heartily endorse your patriotic
zeal and enthusiasm In the part you
are taking In this battle for freedom.

tion; you lend Uncle Sam your
money. Come, one and all, and
make the day great one for Oconee

IN sufficient strength to meet any
shcck. Or should a withdrawal and
realignment on better positions be
Judged desirable, time will give op-
portunity for the preparation of those
positions.
1t is possible that the plans Of
Gen. Foch, commandsr-in-chief OF al
lied and American armies in France,
hinge upon developments In this mar
row sector Of the broad battle front.
Such moves as he may be coptem-
plating may we'll depend, 1t is said,
upon tho stabilization Of the allied
left flank. On the right, the French
appear to have succeeded in effecting
any plans for counter offensive
would be dependent upon these two
positions.
Another Assault Expected.
There is no question but that
many officers here Wow tho situation
as serious. They do not all share
the hopeful outlook indicated by the
war college review for last week.
Even If the present thrust toward
Bethnne is checked, they believe a
third assault at some other portion
of the British front is to be expected,
coming with the suddenness of a
storm from a clear sky.
There have been many reports In
dicating that the Austro-Hupgarian
forces were preparing for drive
! against the Italians. When 1t will
be started cannot be foretold, but
some observers think that in case Of
a definite check to the German move
ment, the Austrians would launch
their effort.
In that case, the scene Of opera
| tions on the west front might shift
far to the south to the area where
| American troops are on the front.
The railway junction through which
French or British forces sent to Italy
naturally would pass lies behind that
sector. 1t is believed possible that
the Germans might throw their
weight in that direction in an eff::,
to prevent any support reaching
italy.
