| lem In some sections Of 1nin0iA Ohio
and Virginia. The plan followed in
these states enables the farmer, conn
ing to town with wagon or truck load
Of produce, to haul load Of limestone
back to his farm, instead Of returning
with an empty vehicle, and thus SuSe
ply his needs at little expense In TINA
and labor. Limestone associations
have been formed by farmers in q
number of counties in Illinois to en-
courage the use of limestone and for
having 1t stored In bins or warehouses
for the benefit of members and the
general public. The expense Of erect
ing bins and the employment Of sell.
ing agents is paid out OF dues collect
ed from members.
This plan might be adopted with
profit by farmers Of any section of the
Southeast, but other arrangements
could be made which would enable
them to procure the material as need
ed, and business men could Join the
farmers In this work with the certain.
ty of sharing In the benefits to be de-
rived from the advancement Of general
farming interests. Where 1t is not

nlentS are made that Lime was used
more than three thousand years ago
In parts OF Europe to improve soils, >

Lime was used on farms Of the
South more than fifty years ago, and
with excellent results, but only In re-
cent years has It's value In soil and

 Numerous errors by the home players was the cause of them being knocked off their lofty perch. It was easy sailing for Arthurs who pitched a pretty game and helped to shut out McCrory.. The feature of the game was a home run in the fourth by Pierce which started the visitors on their way to victory. Following is the line up and score by innings:

coNTRAST OF CITY VIL- LACE LIFE SEEN TN
 UNUSUAL FILM
urhe Girl Woman" Portrays smashing Story of Country
 aide and Bright Lights.

vitagraph's new feature film 1HThe Girl Wamon," in which u Miss Gladys Leslie is the M star, will be shown at the Towel Theatre on next Thurs day Sept. 9. It is one of the brightest, prettiest and at the ssne time highly dramatic screen productions released in many months.
 Reports from New York, where the picture was first shown, attest that ''The Girl Woman" has the earmarks of a film that will live long. It is built upon a story that de- lineates rural and big city life in smashing contrast. Its in- gredients are the buried and forgotten romance of a false conviction, of the tragic facts that travel undercurrent in a small town and of a sensation that rends the souls of peaceful people of the countryside.
 Miss Leslie is cast in the role of Belinda Lee, a girl of eighteen, who has been pre- vented by a doting foster parent from really growing up. Belinda has been reared and taught to believe that Jud Daddy" Lee is her real father. But there comes a time when a bearded, unkept wild man es- capes from the prison and breaks in upon the Lee home.
 This man, Sanford, is Be- linda's real father, she learns. She instantly believes his story of a great wrong.
 Belinda helps her father to escape,a ,and for weeks there after in the great city of New York strives with the mind of fully matured, capable wom- an to procure evidence wiping out the tragedy of his life. She succeeds. The film is full of dramatic suspense and rap i'd action.

HOW REPUBLICANS MAY
CAST BALLOT FOR cox
instructions offered for Benefit OF
Many in County Who Want to
Scratch Harding.

Convinced there are number OF Ike
publicans In this county, both men and
women. who wish to vote for Governor
Cox for President instead of Senator
Harding. because of the League OF
Nations and other issues, the following
explanation is offered of how this may
be done SO that the vote will count as
intended.
The voter should make his or her
cross in the circle under the Democra-
TIC emblem; then move over and make
cross before the name of each Repub-
llcan candidate (below the list of cleo
tors) for whom it is desired to vote.
Il the event the voter also would
cast his or her ballot for Arthur b.
Koontz for Governor and other Demo
cratic candidates, state and local, all
that is needed is to leave vacant the
square before the Republican candi-
date running for the same office. The
cross in the Democratic circle carries
a vote for all Democratic candidates
except those marked elsewhere.
TIe way for a Republican to vote
for Cox, therefore, is to vote in the
cI,le under the rooster. Then move
across the ballot If you don't want
to vote for Morgan, leave the square
before his name unmarked, and skip
al others for whom you don't want to
vote
