Use and Abuse of Lime

Probably no one kind of material
! is capable of doing more good or
harm or bringing less returns for the
expense for the farmer than lime
when used on the soil; also, there is
no material of which the effects are
less understood by the farmers than
are those of lime. Lime is not a
soil fertilizer but it is a soil sweet
ener and modifier. If the soil needs
it and it is used properly and followed
by a legume plant it will do a great
deal of good, but merely to scatter
it on corn or wheat ground does very
little good especially if clover is not
to follow the wheat. Lime may be
a distinct cause of loss, as occurs
when it is mixed with a nitrogen
bearing fertilizer. such as manure
from the stable or cleanings from the
poultry house. In such a mixture it
causes the quick evaporation of the
into the air and its loss
from the soil and the crop. Fellow

Cattlemen Waking Up

Brevard county has been a sIrong
hold of the free range cattlemen, bu
sentiment has changed down there
The people have spoken, and it look!
like the majority is going to rule
sense, sentiment, and the county
Here's what happened in Brevard
according to the Melbourne Times
The Parrish No-Fence law en-
acted by the last legislature and
which provides that live stock shall
not run at large within certain pre-
scribed limits in Brevard county was
ratified by the people at the election
held last Monday. All but one pre-
cinct in the county heard from to
date give the unofficial vote of the
county as follows: For the law, 7O4
against the law, 150."
Broward county is another place
where the open range cattlemen thot
they were little gods They decided
if they couldn't ship their cattle they
would slaughter them and sell them
dead where they pleased, so they
moved for an abattoiT al Fort Laud- |
erdale. The federal government |
stepped in and stopped traffic in tick
covered beef, unless the cattlemen
would obey the quarantine restriction
laws. The Fort Lauderdale Herald
tells the story of surrender:
The promoters of the abattoir and
packing plant to be constructed here,
and the members of the live stock
sanitation board, have arrived at an
agreement. and the cattlemen will go t
ahead with the construction of their {
plant as originally planned. How '
ever, instead of two plants being |
erected, in this city, only one will be f
built and the cattle belonging to the I
two companies will be slaughtered in C
it. The cattlemen have agreed to a
with the requirements of the f
live stock sanitary board, and all cat
tie shipped into the county will be .
dipped The cattle will be assembled
at White City and dipped, and when :
unloaded in Lauderdale, must be free
of ticks"
The cattlemen of Palm Beach have
decided pot to continue their fight for
change in the tick dipping rules!

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
ORDERED TO BE REPRINTED

The Constitution of the United
States is to be reprinted. This does
not mea there is to be a new Consti-
tuition written. 1t simply means that
every so often there is published a
reprint of the Constitution of the
United States, together with citation
OF cases decided by the Supreme Court
OF the United States, constituting the
provisions of the Constitution and the
several amendments. This is a very
valuable document, not only to the
legal profession, but to members of
Congress, newspapers, students of our
government, etc.
The last such reprint was made in
1913. Since then there have been sew
eral amendments to the Constitution
and a great many Supreme Court de-
cisions interpreting the Constitution
and amendments. By virtue of a reso-
luton passed during the closing days
OF the special session of Congress,
this compilation is to be brought down
to date and a new reprint issued.

WAR DEPARTMENT ORDERS
ANOTHER SLASH IN FORCE

Secretary Weeks Of the War De-
partment has just ordered another re-
duction of more than 900 employees in
the War department and it's branches
"to be made gradually, but as rapidly
as conditions will permit" When this
reduction is completed it will show
that the Secretary of War has reduced
the civilian force of the War depart
ment since he took office in March last
to 1900, with a saving in salaries at
the rate of $6,277,40O per annum.
Fran March 8, 1921, to January 5,
1922, the force was reduced from 9,548
to 5,845, a reduction of 3,703, or more
than 80 percent. That reduction, it
is stated at the departments an annual
saving Of $4,000, 900, being at the rate
of $4,000 a day for every day since
Secretary Weeks has been in office.

RECOMMEND ARREST OF ALL
MEN WHO EVADED THE DRAFT

Washington.-Energetic pursuit and
punishment of the more than 10000
men who evaded the draft during the
World war is urgently recommended
by" Major General Harris adjutant
general of the army, in his report
made public today by the secretary of
war. To bring those guilty to trial,
he recommends that congress appro-
pirate $25O,0OO to pay rewards of $50
fore each draft deserter delivered to
the military authorities.
ut is imperative" he declares, "that
the government exhibit the greatest
possible energy in pursuing these men
and in Furnishing all who are found
guilty. If the government permits
these deserters to escape the punish
ment provided for their offense, con-
sequences of the gravest import will
certainly ensue.
"Inaction of this sort would tend to
set a premium on evasion of military
service, with the inevitable result that
should another national emergency
ARISE and another selective draft be
put in operation, the number of men
attempting to evade the performance
OF military duty will mount to a figure
so large as to imperil the nation
through interfering very seriously
with the rapid building-up of an emer-
gency army"
General Harris says the publication
OF the Stacker lists" by the newspa-
pers proved highly useful for the pur-
pose OF Strengthening out the records
OF a number of non-willing deserters
whose names were included therein,
despite all the care and effort expend-
ca IN an attempt to include none but
nose OF willful deserters." He shows
ina less than one-half of one per cen
OF M names published have been
1ound to be those of non-willful de-
serters and says these have been re-
moved from the lists.
General Harris report shows that
reported assertions from the regular
army in the fiscal year ended last June
50 totaled 14,563, or 4.57 per cent, the
largest percentage since 1909, and
nearly four times as great as that in
the preceding fiscal ear He saws
'he marked increase probably a be
accounted Tor "by the fact that the
vast majority of the deserters were
new recruits who found the army dis
eipiine more irksome than they had
The number of the re-
poi'eo assertions, he adds, is in ex-
.esS o the number of actual deser-
ions as many Of the men will be re-
turned to military control and ac-
qai,'eo OF the charge of desertion,
others will be convicted of the
'esser o11ense of absent without leave. !

GRANDFATHER OF A CIVIL
WAR VETERAN STILL LIVING
Has Lived Under Every President Ex-
cept Father of Country; Finds
Fault with WOmens Styles.

Eureka, Kan, Jan. 25.-George A.
Gordon, who has lived in the lifetime
of every president of the United
States except Washington, will be 1O1
years old Sunday.
Members of the family claim Mr..
Gordon is the only grandfather of a
civil war veteran still living, and one
of few, if not the only man, living to-
day, who heard revolutionary war
stories from a grandfather who fought
for independence.
my Grandfather, George Gordon
Of CUMBERLAND, Pa, was a soldier in
the American revolution" MI. Gordon
related recently. ut was my great
uncle William Armstrong, who cap
tured the Hessians and took them into
Washington's camp and in reply to
the generals questions as to how he
. captured them said, Faith, I sur.
rounded them"
Mr.. Gordon when rs years old, and
in ill health made an overland trip
to Texas and had such experiences as
being caught in a buffalo stampede
and being chased by Indians. He at
tributes his long living to temperate
habits and an active outdoor life. HI
never used tobacco or liquor.
Mentally and physically alert, h
approves most modern progress.
"But", he asserted, there are SOM
present-day systems of which l do no
approve. I refer to style Of women
dress-short skirts, low-necked dress
es; also this bobbed hair fad. Perhap
more than anything else I deplore tn
growing lack of observation of tn
Sabbath"
Mr.. Gordon lost two sons in tn
civil war. Mrs. Hypatia B. Hart o
> Seattle, Wash, and Mrs. Lizzie F
johnson of Denver, are two of his 81
l living daughters.
