one suggesting part of a Scaf-

up to monotony.

According to a recent news
item from New York City:
Three bandits in Coney Island
got away yesterday afternoon
with black leather bag that
looked just right for a payroll.
Instead, it contained a collection
of soap samples"
Without implying that anyone
concerned is a bandit, | should
like to point out that the great
American public has made sim
liar mistake during the past
quarter century by grabbing for
what it thought to be financial
security via governmental pa
ternalism only to find that what
it has actually acquired is lot of
soap-soft soap to be exact.
The cajolery of demagogues,
instead of being money in the
bag" has materialized as higher
and higher taxes, greater and
greater spending, more and more
bureaucrats, and less and less
liberty.
Never have a naive people,
moved by cupidity, made more
Notifying mistake than when
they grabbed for the New Deal
and got 1.-The old run-around."

Others were reseeded by the
trash mulch method. About 500
ID. of 3-l2-12 was used at seed
ing time, then 800 lb. of 0-20-20

as top dressing.
To scientifically check the

Mr.. Layman and Roger King,
soil conservation aid for the U.
S. Soil Conservation Service, re-
Gently took samples from two
fields and sent them to the Ohio
State University through the
county agriculture Agents office.
The results of these tests were
received March, 1856. They show
ed the lining and fertilizing pro-
gram had paid off.
Some Of the results of this test
were: Organic Matter 2ia which
is usually IL l2fs in the district.
Phosphorus, which is usually a
very critical element in S. E.
Ohio soils, had a reading of 54
lbs. per acre of very good as
compared to most tests in Noble
District which usually shows a
critical or poor reading. Potash
also had very high reading of
$50 lbs, per acre which is far
above average.
During the past five years, Mr..
Layman has cut these meadows
or times ger season making
an average yield Of around ton
per acre.
Mr.. Layman's farm contains
1874 acres of land of which only
70 acres is being used for mead
oWs, pasture and cropland. He
manages a grade "A" dairy of
l6 head Jerseys and Guernseys,
and 80 head of fine wool sheep.

Church Error Puts Total
Attendance Over The Top

Due to an error of 20 people
in the Sunday school attendance
records for the First Methodist
church in Caldwell, a new and
different light was placed on the
Easter Sunday attendance for
the Bible School emphasis pro-
gram.
In tallying the total attendance,
the figures released were 238 in
this church but an error was dis
covered the following Wednes-
day evening at the mid-week
service and the figure should
have read 258.
This means that LOOP were in
attendance at all the Protestant
churches in Caldwell for Easter
Sunday morning or two over the
goal of 1000.

us. In fact, if one gives his time,
energy, talents and life itself
to follow the habits of the world,
to acquire material possessions,
to gain popularity and the ap-
plauSe of men, it is safe to say
that he does not love God q
John 2:l5, l6).
John is teaching that he who
really loves God will be deter
mined to do the will of God.
That is, Gods desires will con-
troll his decisions and acts. What
ever he does-eat, drink, play,
read, buy or sell, he will do to
the glory of God q Corinthians
1921: Colossians 3:1D.
That which is of the world has
no eternal value. 1t is doomed to
destruction. 1t is under the wrath
or condemnation of God q John
2:l6, IT; Ephesians 2:3).
The promise of eternal life is
guaranteed to those who do the
will of God. That is, they love
God and make it a practice to do
His will.
The first step one takes in
proving his love for God is to
let Jesus Christ become his Lord.
If that is not done, one cannot
or will not do the other things
that please God q John 2:23, "a,
4; John l:l2).
Most every one believes in a
hereafter that is free from
disease and pain, heartache, self
ishness and immortality, a here
after characterized by joy, love
and freedom from the baser ap-
petites of the flesh. But that is
only for those who do the will
of God while on earth.

Self-Improvement Marathon
last January. I am As years
old and a year-and-a-half ago
I was suddenly faced with the
necessity of making my own
living. I won't go into details.
Before my marriage I was
personal secretary to an i'm
portant business executive.
Fortunately I had enough
money to take some courses
in order to recover my former
skill in tipping and shorthand.
After finishing these refresher
courses I started out optimis-
tlcally to md a position.
"Of course I realized that my
age was against me, things
being as they are. However,
I really did not feel daunted.
I have excellent health and
know that I am well-qualified.
I had no luck!
II haven't told you yet that
I was 80 pounds overweight
last January. That is when /
decided to join Marathon. I
lost 20 pounds in eight weeks
and then lost the last 10 more
slowly.
Il do not know whether or
not it is coincidence or
whether the loss in poundage
turned the trick. but I have
just accepted a position of
responsibility. I do not re-
ceive a large salary to start
with but I know I can do the
job well and that there is
a real chance for advance

ment. What do you think
about all of this?"
I think it is wonderful.
Perhaps you would have got
ten the job anyway but !
am sure that you gave the
impression of being more
youthful and in better health
without that 80 pounds.
Also remember that every
one is conscious today of the
health hazards of overweight.
You not only looked younger
but you probably were con-
sidered a better risk because
you were not overweight.
OF course, the age limits
in the classified advertise
mentS are unintelligent and
ridiculous. This is changing,
but slowly. Any mature
woman who seeks a position
should certainly give herself
the break of looking fit, of
being the correct weight, of
good grooming. Overweight
makes one look a lot older
at the age of As than it does
at the age of 20.
