A few farmers think their pay
ments will be figured on the differ
ence between their allotments and
some past average, according to DIR.
Wertz, but this is wrong. The corn,
wheat, or general soil-depleting pay
ment will be made upon every acre
in the allotment for the farm. pro-
vided at least 80 percent of the al
lotment is planted.
The corn payment, for instance,
is 10 cents per bushel upon the nor
NAL yield for the farm for the acre.
age in the corn allotment, explains
DR.. Wertz. If farm has 4O-acre
allotment for 1898 and normal
yield of 48 bushels to the acre, the
corn payment for the farm will be
1892. The allotments are based
both upon past acreage on the farm
and sound soil management.
On farm that had past aver
age corn acreage of so acres, 40
acre corn allotment would amount
to 10-acre reduction If the nor"
man yield of 48 bushels to the acre,
the payment of 10 cents per bushel
would amount to 1920 per acre
for each of the. 10 acres taken out
of corn, total corn payment OF
1892.
DR.. Wertz says a study was made
on 25 Putnam county farms in the
three year period 1926,28 to find
the average cost of growing and
harvesting an acre of corn. The av-
erage cost on those 25 farms was
s29.O2 an acre for corn yield which
yielded 48 bushels. With this in
formation, it is possible to estimate
how much one of these farmers
would gain or lose by growing so
acres instead of the allotted 40
acres.
For each of the 10 acres he would
invest approximately $29.02 in pro-
duction and harvesting costs. He
also would lose the corn payment
of $192 which the farm would earn
if he staid within his corn allot-
ment One-tenth Of that sum
should be charged to each Of the 10
acres, or $500 an acre. His costs
for each acre would be $29.02 plus
1920, total of $4S.22.
If he harvested his average yield
of As bushels for each acre, he
would have to sell the corn for lit
tie more than one dollar bushel
to break even on the enterprise.
Columbus newspapers on May Is
quote September corn at SO cents a
bushel.
These payments offer nearly all
year than they could expect if they
did not come into the farm pro-
gram, Dr. Wertz believes. The fact
that nearly half of last years corn
crop is still unused should prove to

HIGH SCHOLASTIC STANDING
OF MISS CLARK

Miss Dorothy Elvira Clark, a
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Walter
Clark, of Stockport, formerly of
Center township, Morgan county,
whose family is we'll known in this
locality, has been chosen by Adrian
college, Michigan, where she is en-
rolled, as one of the foremost stu
dents in America She was selected
for this honor by a committee from
American universities and colleges.
Miss Clark's name will be entered in
Who's Who Among Students in
American Universities and Colleges,
19341935. An annual publication
representing Ats universities and
colleges will carry the biography.
The selection is made on the
grounds of scholarship, extra cur
ricular activities and promise Of fu-
ture attainment When it is con-
sidered that the recognition won by
Miss Clark is national in scope it
can be realized how great is the
honor conferred.
Miss Clark is graduate of the
Gnadenhutten high school and dur
ing the four years of her collegiate
course at Adrian college, her name
has been on the scholarship honor
roll. This record she achieved
while working at private home to
pay board and room expense. Mrs.
Russell Freeland, of Portsmouth;
Edna Clark, now married, whose
home is near Newcomerstown, and
Curtis Clark, sisters and brother Of
Miss Dorothy Clark, were graduated

ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day, May so, original
ly called Decoration Day, is a holi-
day set apart in northern states as
day for decorating the graves OF
soldiers who fell in the Civil war.
1t originated in 1868, when Cen
eral John A. Logan, commander in
chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, issued an order that on May
goth of that year, the members OF
every post from east to west, should
engage in fitting ceremonials and
decorate the graves of their com
rades. State legislatures soon took
up the idea, until the observance
became general wherever Union SOL
diers are buried. In the southern
states Confederate Memorial Day
is observed as follows: May 80 in
Virginia.; April 26 in Alabama,
Florida, Georgia and Mississippi;
May 10 in Kentucky and North Car
olina; June 8 in Louisiana and
Tennessee.

Maintaining Personal Efficiency.
"a personal aspect of temperance)
Daniel 1873; / Corinthians 1924
27, for Sunday, May 20:
The book of Daniel teaches that
God presides over the history of the
world; that Gentiles and Jews alike
are under his control; that the sue
cess of human empires is ordained
by him; that his kingdom will final
ly come and endure forever; that
faithfulness to him will have an
eternal reward.
V. 8. "But Daniel purposed in
his heart that he would not defile
himself with the portion of the
kings meat, nor with his wine that
he drank; therefore he requested OF
the prince of the eunuchs that he
might not defile himself" Daniel
did not wait until the time of temp.
tation to decide what to do. Moral
victories are won before the battle.
The policy of not eating meat that
may have been offered to idols was
deep-rooted in Daniel. He would
not defile himself at any cost. Total
abstinence was part of his pro-
gram too, and this lesson shows
how well it pays.
" 9. "Now God had brought
Daniel into favour and tender love
with the prince of the eunuchs." In
the long run the man who is in ia
vor with God will also be in favor
with man, for Gods favor means
character and character is at
premium among the majority Of
men.
V. 10. "And the prince of eu
nuchs said unto Daniel, / fear the
lord my king, who hath appointed
your meat and drink; for why
should he see your faces worse lik-
ing than the children of your sort?
Then shall we make me endanger
my head to the king Two lines
of argument were used, first, that
of the self interest of Daniel. Sec
ond, the safety of the eunuch's life.
But a man whose purpose is rooted
in Gods will, will not be moved.
VS.. II, 13. "Prove thy SER
wants, l beseech thee, ten days; and
let them give us pulse to eat, and
water to drink. Then let thy cOun-
tenance be looked upon by thee,
and the countenance of the children
that eat a portion of the kings
meat; and as thou seest, deal with
thy servants" Daniel was so sure
that he was in the right that he
was willing to take risk. Life at
its best is venture but in the ven
ture there is place for Christian
faith.
VS.. 14-16. $50 he consented and
proved them ten days and their
countenance appeared fairer and
fatter. Thus Melzar took away the
portion of their meat, and the wine
that they should drink and gave
them pulse" Daniel depended on
God for results and God did not fail
him. God rewarded him by giving
him knowledge and skill in all
learning and wisdom and under
standing of visions and dreams.

muned with them; and among them
| all was found none like Daniel,
Hanaiah, Mishael and Azariah, and
in all matters of wisdom and under
standing, he found them ten times
better than all the magicians and
astrologers.' The king soon found
the difference between profession
and possession of higher knowledge.
Truth and character will out in
time. The basis of Daniels knowl-
edge was the Word of God, beside
! which all the wisdom Of the world
is as sounding brass and a tinkling
cymbal.
V. "a. know We not that they
which run in race run all, but one
receiveth the prize? So run that
We may obtain" In the case of the
Christian race, all who run may OBJ
tain, but not all who enter the race
may finish. Indulgence in worldly
things robs many of Christians S
reward.
V. 25. "And every man that
ate in all things; now they do it to
ODCaIn cOfrupIlDle cTOWu, UuI VIC
an incorruptible." In the case of
the runners temperance meant total
abstinence from all harmful and
habit-forming drugs and drink. The
same rule holds good today in ath-
letics as we'll as in all other activi-
ties No one can give good rea-
son for drinking but any one can
give many reasons for not drinking.
". &c. II therefore SO run, not
as uncertainty; so fight I, not as
one that beateth the air." Paul was
not engaged in sham battle but IN
a ''good fight the fight against sin
in all it's forms. One measure OF a
Christian is his attitude toward all
manner of sin.
V. 27. "But 1 keep my body un-
der and bring it into subsection;
lest that by any means when l have
preached to others, I myself should
be a castaway." The body is good
servant but a bad master. If Paul
the giant Christian, needs to exer-
else care, how much do we VINO
have not made the progress he did!

WHAT is THE STRENGTH
OF HUMAN HAIR?

Human hair in all appearances is
a very fragile thing, but is in real
ity remarkably strong. It varies,
according to the color of the hair.
Light brown is the strongest, with
darker tones OF brown next, then
blond and red The lowest in re-
sistance is gray hair. These grada-
tions are announced as the results
Of an analysis by physicist at
Rockefeller Center, in collaboration
with New York hairdresser's re-
search bureau.
The average hair can sustain a
weight of 10 grams without break
| ing. A square inch of hair has a
tensile strength only about so per-
cent below that of steel. The
strength of hair also varies not only
as to color, but with the age of a
person.
