GROUND LIMESTONE WILL BE
AVAILABLE AGAIN

Limestone dealers in Morgan
county will cooperate with the AAA
in making more than 100000 tons
of ground limestone available to
Ohio farmers under the 1941 AAA
Conservation Materials Program,
Frank L. Carr, chairman to the
Morgan county AAA committee, de-
clared today.
Bids will be accepted by the
county committee from Nov. 8 to
Nov. IS. Dealers and quarry own
ers should offer prices on bulk linn
ing materials only, and at the pre-
vailing county or township prices.
The federal government will reim-
burse the dealers for the ground
limestone delivered to farmers un-
der the Conservation Materials pro-
gram, Mr.. Carr said.
Local farmers will be able to re-
ceive agricultural limestone in an
amount not to exceed 20 percent Of
their 1941 conservation payment,
Chairman Carr explained Cost of
the limestone to the farmers will be
deducted from the regular AAA con-
servation payment next year.
Mr.. Carr reminded farmers that
ground limestone under this pro-
gram will be available until Dec. 81
1941. "This is one of the best con-
servation provisions that has been
introduced to date under the nation
al farm program. Many of us have
wanted to apply lime to our land for
years, but could not afford to-"
Last year Ohio farmers applied
more than 250,000 tons of ground
limestone to their farms. In 1941
we are expecting to double or even
triple this amount, the chairman
asserted.
Il am sure that the majority OF
Morgan county farmers will avail
themselves of this opportunity tc
build up sweet soil. A soil survey
of the county has shown that a large
percent of our land needs the appli
cation of these materials if we are
to get good clover stands and other
crops"
The county AAA office will be
glad to assist all interested farmers
in obtaining these materials.

SOME ARMISTICE DAY
THOUGHTS

The Revolutionary war gave us
Independence Day, the Civil war
gave us Memorial Day, the World
war, Armistice Day. These have
become great American institutions
offering special opportunities to
teach the meaning of citizenship,
respect for the flag of our country,
and reverence for all it stands for.
These days are our days. Love of
country has hallowed them and set
them aside as national holidays. BY
them patriotic Americans are called
from the factories, farms, stores,
and shops to think of their nation.
In these bewildering times we
must, re-evaluate the meaning OF
freedom, democracy, individual
rights and all we claim as our
rights. These are not self evident.
They were once unknown and have
been purchased at a great cost by
our forefathers. If our country
continues as we know her, we must
exercise eternal vigilence, we must
love our nation better than self, we
must love her more than our busi-
ness; it is she who makes our busi-
ness possible.
To the thoughtful American. In
dependence Day is more than fire.
crackers and brilliant flares. Me-
mortal Day more than the Indian
apolis auto races, and Armistice
more than day for our particular
sports event or an opportunity to
take motor trip.
Armistice Day does not belong to
IL c11l Sy pnI
day, a holiday to give the crafts
man, the laborer, and the profes-
sional man opportunities to think of
peace and the ways to perpetual
peace. In some of our sister states
Armistice Day celebration in schools
is compulsory. The same compul-
sorry attendance law applies on that
day as on other school days. School
is dismissed after an hours pro-
gram teaching the American day of

GOVERNMENT RECOGNITION
OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBLE
TIES OPENS UP NEW FIELD
TO FLORIDA WORKERS

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, July
3O.-Broadening recognition by
government of its social respon-
sibilitieS has opened a new field
of employment to Florida resi-
dents, State Welfare Commits
sioner c. c. COdringtoE stated
here today in commenting on the
statewide merit system exam
nations to be held on August 81.
The profession of social work
offers opportunity both for men
and women, the commissioner
said. AT present the State We'll
fare Board employs a consider
able staff, although only a few
years ago state public assistance
in the form of cash grants was
unknown in Florida. Present
trends are in the direction of
consistent expansion of the social
work field.
1T is necessary for the State
Welfare Board to employ suffi-
cient staff to meet its obligation
to applicants for public assist
ance, and to employ competent
staff to meet its obligation to the
taxpayer. Because of the latter
obligation, the Board voluntarily
adopted the merit system for the
