Bulletin on Lime Helpful to
Farmers

While there are several different
kinds Of lime available for agricul-
tural purposes, all of them will give
the same results if equivalent a.
mounts of finely pulverized material
are used, it is explained by F. w
Oldenburg, specialist in agronomy
for the University of Maryland EX-
tension Service.
There may be decided difference,
however, in the number of pounds of
finely pulverized material, calculated
on the basis of available oxides,
which the farmer receives for his dol
lar. Just how the farmer can figure
this out for himself is explained by
Mr.. Oldenburg in detail in a bulletin
recently issued by the State Lime
Inspection Service.
The bulletin contains a report Of
the work done by the State Lime In
spection Service, compiled under the
supervision of DR.. L. B. Broughton,
acting State chemist, and l.. h.
Bopst, associate. 1t is valuable to
farmers as showing the analyses Of
various brands of lime sold in the
State during the year from Novem-
Der /, 1927, to November l, 1928.
Analyses Of the various brands of
lime were made from samples col
lected from dealers and manufacture
ers' stocks and from shipments in
transit. These analyses are neces-
sary to the farmer who desires to
compute the most economical form of
lime for him to purchase.
Copies of the bulletin will be fur
nished free of charge to those who
make request to the State Lime In
spection Service, College Park, Md.

WHY SOCIALISM DOESN'T
GROW

"Tabulation of the votes cast in the
November Presidential election is at
last complete" says the Globe, Arizo-
ma, Record. at reveals one rather
surprising fact: the Socialist party
polled a vote, throughout the nation,
of only 100000.
Norman Thomas, Socialist candi-
date last year was probably the ablest
man that party has ever named as a
standard bearer. He made a strong
campaign Yet the Socialist party
polled its lowest vote since 1904. Why
should this be? What has happened,
anyhow, to give the Socialist party
pernicious anemia?
"Probably it is because the funda-
mental tenet of MARKHAM socialism
that the workers form a distinct class
of the populations, with aims diamet-
rically opposite to those of the upper
classes-is entirely out of line with
modern American thought.
LII IIlC WOlhCl 10 SldSo IOll-
scious.' He feels a solidarity with his
brother workers; he feels that the
capitalists are forever looking for an
opportunity to crush him, and he uses
his vote to gain every advantage he
can.
'But in this country there is little of
this solidarity. The worker is more
apt to look on himself as future en-
ployer. He knows that if he has the
ability and the determination he will
rise; and if he stays a worker, he
knows that he will earn more wages
than his European brother ever dar-
ed dream of.
at used to be said that Napoleon's
army was so successful because every
private carried a marshals baton in
his knapsack. The same thing APP
plies to American workers. Each one
feels that he may some day be a cap
italist. Accordingly, Socialism fails
utterly to prosper here. If conditions
ever change and opportunity is shut

THE CHURCH AND THE
NEWSP APER.

Two very potent factors in COM
munity are the church and the press
and, working together or at least be-
ing in sympathy, and having respect
for each others rights and privileges,
they become an immense power for
good.
The church, as a seeker of souls, a
standard bearer of truth and righte-
BUSINESS, wields a power that is indis-
putable, paving the way through its
Outstanding gospel to a greater civ
ilization and broader brotherhood a.
mong all people everywhere. Without
its precept and influence, deterioration
of morals, lessening of faith and low
ering of standards and ideals would
be inevitable.
The press is a wielder of power
greater, perhaps, than any of those
behind its stronghold of brain, Drawn
and inventive genius could dream. AS
a moulder of public opinion its office
is far-reaching, and as a fearless ex-
ponent of truth and daily chronicler
of events as they occur, it is in a class
by itself. For the present day news
paper is a valuable servant of the
public and conscientiously tries to
give, impartially, the facts gathered
through many sources from day to
day. Without the press there would
be less fear of exposure or publicity
with a consequent increase in crime, a
lowering of standards of decency and
a lessened interest in public affairs,
for not even the radio, telegraph, tel
ephone and other inventions can take
the place of the public press.
The newspaper is one of the best
friends the church has; nowhere is
this more apparent than in small COM
munities where religious notices and
church events are given wide publicity
gratuitously. Even in the matter of
regular weekly notices, that are adj
vertisements in a sense, the editor
gladly gives space because Of the in
terest they may hold to the reader.
The press and church are powers
for good. Each has its scope of en-
deavor, it's field Of service and its es-
tablished rights that the other should
respect; through different methods
each works toward the betterment of
the public. Surely proper appreci-
alton of and cooperation with one
another will bring better results.

WEEK END HOLIDAYS

The business men in some states
are complaining because they say
there are too many legal holidays
now that business is interfered with.
They contend that it takes some of
their employees a day or two to get
over holiday, or they need to have
extra time for these occasions to
make visits or go on trips, and these
business men think it interferes too
much with trade and costs working
people too much money through loss
of wages.
They may have difficulty in per-
suading their employees of the truth
of this contention, as most people
welcome holidays, and are glad to
knock off from work even if they
lose their pay.
However, some of our holidays
might be better arranged. If they all
came at the weekend period, people
could combine them with Sundays
for pleasant outings and visits to
their home people.
Saturday is fine day for holidays,
since so many people take Saturday
afternoon anyway, and if they had
the whole day for the holiday the in
corruption of business would not be
much greater.
Wholesale business, everywhere,
now suspends Saturday afternoons.
Retail stores, except small shops,
close Saturday afternoons in most
cities of Importance now and the
practice will probably be extended to
all cities, having important stores, in
the near future.
Thanksgiving Day and Memorial
Day at least might just as well come
on a Saturday or a Monday. Some
people think that all holidays should
be appointed to come Saturday or
Monday and something could be said
for that plan, though where holt
day celebrates some fixed event of
history it might seem inappropriate
to take any different date for the OBJ
servance.
The occasions when a holiday
comes on a Saturday or a Monday
are welcomed by millions of people
who use such dates to plan many
pleasant trips and homecomings.
Such double holidays as Labor Day
brings each year, on account Of its
coming on Monday, means so much
to people that the effort should be
made to have more of them observed
in that way Cumberland Eevering
Times.

RESOLUTIONS
for the
PRESENT YEAR

There is no particular reason
why good resolutions ashould be
made only once a year. If the
bread is burning the good house
wife turns off the fire at once,
not later. If baby is, sick we
send for the doctor Immediately.
And so on through the list of i'm
portant things.
We are reminded of a conversa-
ton with a satisfied housekeep-
err the other day. She was very
happy in her spic-and-span home
and we remarked that she SEEM
ed to have found the secret of
contentment.
"Yes," she replied, "but / have
waited long enough for it. When
| was a girl our family did not
own their own home. We lived
first in one part of town, then in
another. This went on for 80
years or more, and each time we
moved there was an increase in
the rent. l remember hearing
father say more than once that
we would settle down some day
in our own home.
"That day never came, and the
family finally was broken up.
The man l married worked pref
ty hard for his money and early
got into the habit of saving. He
figured that the rent money my
family had paid out in 80 years
would have bought several nice
houses. We both decided that
we would begin then to turn the
rent money into a savings ac-
count by buying our own home.
$50 here we are, and there are
our children playing in their own
yard. We may never make a for
tune, but the house is ours and
we are happy.
The resolution to own your own
home can be made any time dur
ing the year. 1t can never be
made too soon. Don't let it be
made too late.

BY the Assccisted Press
NEW YORK, May 25.-An early de-
cline was followed by rallies in the cot
ton market today on covering, which
appeared to be combined with little
local and commission house buying on
reports of rains or showers in Western
and Central belts and apprehensions of
unsettled weather In the belt over Sum
day October contracts sold up from
1887 to 1880 and closed at 1S.47, with
the general market closing steady, net
unchanged to 4 points higher,
The market opened steady at de-
cline of l to points under renewed
liquidation, with the active months
showing net losses of about to 13
points during the early trading. No
particular news factor was mentioned
however. may have reflected continued
or tin1ism over coming crop possibilities
and reiterated talk of probable domestic
mill curtailment.
Offerings were light and after easing
off to 1913 for July and 1647 for De-
cember, the market steadied on covering
for over the week end. This was evi-
IDENTIFY promoted by reports of rains
or showers in the Southwest and the
buying became little more active aft
ter the posting Of the weather map,
which was regarded by some of the
local traders rs pointing to the prob
ability of more general showers in the
South over Sunday.
July sold up to 1880 and December
to 1851. with active months showing
net advances Of about to points ct
the best point of the morning. The
close was within or points of the
top.
A report from Memphis stating that
engineers expected the levee at Mounds
Landing to hold was mentioned in con-
nection with tn early selling, but much
of the days business was attributed to
the week end evening-up OF commit
ments.
Owing to continuation Of the Whit
suntide holidays. Liverpool was closed
again today. Business there will be
resumed on Monday morning
Reports received here from Dallas
said there had been considerable rain
in that territory and Central Texas,
which would cause q further delay In
farm work and that the weather was
entirely too cool, with grass and weeds
taking hold rapidly.
Cotton on shipboard awaiting clear
ance at the end of the week was esti-
mated at $4,000 bales, against 100, 900
at this time last year and $4,000 two
years ago.
