LIME STONE FAMINE
CUTS DOWN ALFALFA
CRUSHERS CoNNoT HALF SUP.
PLY ORDERS THAT THEY HAVE
HERETOFORE ACCEPTED.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald0
Great difficulty is being experienc,
ed in getting crushed lime in the
county. The farmers ordered the
lime early and the orders were ac-
cepted by the lime crushers, but they
continued to accept order with the re,
suit that they cannot fill them all.
A good deal of deception too is be-
ing practiced about the delay. Prof.
Mclean will call up about lime that
has been ordered and he will receive
the information that 1t has been ship
ped. Later 1t will develop that it was
not shipped until days after II had
been reported as shipped. The fail,
ure to get lime has ruined the alfal
ia program and also delayed many
fields OF crimson clover.

she's as remarkable for her swimming
as for her diving. Her swimming
form is said to be nearly perfect; she
goes through the water smoothly and
gracefully, even when going at top
speed. She has been called an aquatic
marvel by the experts. Whatever
that may mean, Aileen Riggin is re-
markable swimmer and diver already
