MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Aug. 16.
-Baldish, spectacled Adrian H. Mil
Ter, 81, last man in death row at

near Winchester, Ind, was found
dead last October 13 in a Fort
Wayne house where she and Miller
had rooms. She had been raped and
then strangled with her own under
clothes.

from Racine, Wis, walked to the
electric chair without help. He made
no last statement. He was pro-
nounced dead at 1911 am. &C. S.
T). Evidently resigned, he had
spent his last hour with a Catholic

By the Associated Press.
The Bethlehem Steel Corp. and
its subsidiary. Bethlehem Steel Co.
asked the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals today to set aside
a National Labor Relations Board
order directing Bethlehem to dis
establish its employees representation
plans.
The board issued it's order against
Bethlehem after 2-year investiga-
tion of the company's labor policies.
Bethlehem. it held, dominated the
representation plans in 10 plants in
New York, Pennsylvania and Mary
land.
In the court suit. Bethlehem con-
tended the representation plans were
not company dominated and should
not be disestablished.
Holding that the plans constitute
company projects in violation of the
Wagner Act. the board last night
ordered their disestablishment in
plants at Lackawanna, N. Y: Spar
rows Point, Md, and six Pennsyl-
vanla cities-Johnstown, Lebanon,
bethlehem, Rankin, Leetsdale and
Steelton.
The board said it found that
bethlehem engaged in long course
OF interference to insure the fact
that they (the plans would remain
the chief form of representation of
its employees" The plans were in
stituted shortly after the World War.
The case was brought before the
board by the Steel Workers Organ
lzlng Committee &C. I. o., which
charged that the plans prevented
self-organization of employees in the
plants.
In Buffalo, N. Y, E. J. Lever. ma
tlonal director of the Bethlehem di-
vision of the S. w. o. c., said his
organization would press for COL
lectlve bargaining recognition by
the Bethlehem Steel Co. within
two weeks"
The boards order, Mr.. Lever said
leaves the S. w. o. C. as the only
bargaining agent for the workers"
The board said no general meet
lngs OF the employees were ever held
and that the amendment clauses OF
the plan prevented the employees
from changing the plans in any vital
respects without the consent of the
company"

THE HEAVENLY
TEMPLE
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor of
Deals Island, Maryland

The massive temples and the
lofty cathedrals of the world are
built to express in stone some
great fundamental principle of
spiritual truth.
The Temple of King Solomon,
based on the symbolism of the
Tabernacle of the wilderness, was
composed of three symbolic parts
the outer court, the Holy Place,
and the Holy of Holes express
ing the truth that the Holy God
can not be approached except by
a holy preparation and life.
The Christian cathedral is also
rich in symbolism. When looked
upon from above it is seen to be in
the form of the cross, emblematic
of the death and atonement of
Jesus Christ.
Ii no less manner the heavenly
Temple referred to by st. John the
Divine in his Book of Revelation,
is rich in symbolic significance.
Declares st. John: Him that
overcometh will I make pillar in
the Temple of my God, and he
shall go no more out; and 1 will
write upon hlm the name of my
God, and the name of the city of
my God: and will write upon hilE
my new name"
This Temple is a symbolic pic
tura Cf the truth which ST. John
hereby sets before us that the
Christian who remains faithful
unto the end will become 4 vital
part Cf the heavenly and eternal
House of God"
What a glorious hope. we Chris

We make this request to permit a

the corn crop is heavy user of
both nitrogen and potash and that
if profitable yields are to be secur-
ed, these elements must be consid-
cred in the fertilization program.
In many areas where no potash or
low potash fertilizers were used, it
is common to drive through fields
that show evident signs of potash
deficiency in the firing or scorch-
ing of the leaves. When high pot
ash fertilizers are used, these
symptoms disappear and yield in
creases result.
Farmers as well as fertilizer
statesmen have in past years over
looked the fact that quality crops
are not only desired by the market
but are generally more profitable
Research and farm experience
have revealed the fact that in the
production of quality crops, pot
ash plays a very important role
Not only is this reflected IN corr
as above mentioned, but with
sweet potatoes, tomatoes, anc
other important crops of the area
It is quality which the market de-
mands and quality is invariably as
sociated with high potash fertiliza-
ton.
Farmers who expect to make
their livelihood from the growing
of crops can not afford to ignore
market demands. Each year the
emphasis on quality becomes more
apparent and only with the devel-
opment of fertilizer practices
which will result in quality can The
future success in farming be re-
garded as secure.

HALF CENTURY
OF FERTILIZER
N. V. Potash 3-S-I0 Succeeds
the 4-S-4 Used Nearly
Fifty Years Ago
NOW INCREASING

Approximately fifty years ago a
4-S-4 fertilizer was placed on the
market and recommended as a
good analysis for truck crops. For
years this was the most popular
analysis used by farmers out about
ten years ago, due to hundreds of
farm tests and also experimental
work, a 4-8-10 was shown to be
more efficient. Since that time, the
1910 has replaced the 4-8-f until
now very little if any 4-8-4 is sold
on the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. This
analysis, 4-8-10, has become the
standard tomato fertilizer.
When the 4-8-10 was first adopt
ed as a standard truck fertilizer,
they nitrogen content was ex-
pressd in terms of ammonia but
due to new regulations, it must be
expressed in terms of nitrogen and
no factions may appear in the an
alysis. Thus the 3-8-10 now on
the market may be considered
practically the same as the 1910
which was used before the law be-
came operative.
In 1887, to cite an example of
the effect of a 3-8-10 on tomatoes,
the first prize winner in Maryland
Ten Ton Tomato Club, Mr.. Paul D.
Rosser, fredericksburg, used a 3-8-
10 plus manure and produced an
average of 1868 tons per acre.
Field experiments carried Sn in
New Jersey, Maryland, and Vir-
ginia have shown conclusively that
larger yields, better quality, and
increased profits come from use of
high potash fertilizers on toma-
toes. In this work where 1,00o
pounds of fertilizer per acre were
used and analyses carrying less
than 10 per cent potash was COM
pared with analyses carrying 1C
per cent or higher potash, the av-
erage increase in yield for the
higher potash was SO 5-8 bushe,
baskets per acre Such increases
in times of normal prices NEAR
greatly increased profits to the
grower.
The 3-8-10 fertilizer is still useC
by farmers in some areas fol
growing sweet potatoes, especially
where the nitrogen content of the
soil is very low and the available
potash level of the soil is known tC
be relatively high. While use o.
this analysis under such condition:
will undoubtedly be continued, by
far the larger acreage of this croE
will be fertilized with the popular
2-8-10 and 3-8-15 grades. On tn
light soils of Del-Mar-Va the 3-8
10 is rapidly increasing in tonnage
for use in fertilizing the corn crop
Field experiments carried on By
county agents and fertilizer mel
have definitely shown profitabl,
increases from liberal application
of this fertilizer. These studiei
have convinced growers and agri
cultural workers of the fact tina

our school building is one of the
