1 1 European publications. In Norway a’, , manifesto issued by the National Fed- j | eration of Trades-Unions and the ex ] ecutive committee of the Norwegian I Labor Party urge realization through . education and organization of the fol- • lowing ends: Socialization of indus- ■ try, banking and -wholesaling; an ef- | fective solution of the land and hous- | Ing questions from the point of view |of community interests; lessening j the burden of taxes on the working i people, with a stiffer progressive di- ! rect. tax; universal pensions; a just system of voting, with equal franchise I rjghts for all men and women over 21, 1 | introduction of the eight-hour day; ] complete abolition of military service I and the transfer of military establishj ments to the purposes of useful pro- ! duction. 1 Mrs. Lilly Fonner, Mike Hoffman ■ and son, John; were guests of the W.

I Only one state in the Seventh Fedj oral Reserve District, and only three | states in the United States are thriftj ier than Indiana, if sales of War Sav- ■ ings Stamps from a fair criterion. ! Robert E. Springsteen, director of the j Indiana War Savings Committee, has I just received information from Wash--3 ington to the effect that Indiana is ■ second in W. S. S. sales. lowa is in first, place in the district and the United States. A telegram from Herb Borroughs of Decatur, Sunday afternoon, to his 3 brother, Roy, who was here from Kenda.ilville, visiting, stated that M. F. ! Borroughs was seriously sick. As

soon as Roy received the message he., phoned his brother, who said that he was severely sick and that he should come at once to Decatur. Their father had gene to Decatur a week ago today to take a position in the Ed Engeler store and last Saturday became suddenly very sick. The information given was that an internal lump or swelling appeared at the edge of the lower rib and physicians were puzzled in diagnosing Ihe case. He was reported slightly better this forenoon. Dr. J. C. Fulton received a long-dist-ance telephone call from Decatur this afternoon, asking him to come there to see M. F. Burroughs, whose condition is regardoik as quite serious, Bluffton Banner. To have been a Bowery tough, brought up in the slums without the guidance of loving parents, and then developed into one of America’s great est writers— this is the powerful story of “Regeneration,” a William Fox pro duction which comes to the Rex theater today. The play tells the life story of Owen Kildare, a brilliant man who was regenerated by a school teacher whow he saved from insult at the hands of Bowery toughs. This picture, created by R. A. Walsh, is taken from “My Mamie Rose,” a book which has been read throughout the land. Some folks git ajong jest fine till they need a little common sense.

FIRST SUMMER APPLE SPRAY The extremely want weather has resulted in an abnormally large number of apple aphis this spring.. These small insects can now be found on the ends of the opening buds. They suck they juices of the bud and weaken its vitality and later deform and dwaif the fruit. Black leaf 40 at the rate of % pint to each 50 gallons of spray serves to control this insect. This material will be on hand at several of the Decatur drug stores the latter part of the week. The first summer spray in which it ih recommended to use the Black leaf 40 should also include 1% degree test liquid lime sulphur (3 lb. dry lime sulphur) and I’4 tbs. powdered arsenate of lead to 50 gallon of water. The arsenotn Is used to control curculio. The lime-sulphur for apple scrab and the Black leaf 40 for aphis. All three things being applied at the same time in the same spray. The right time to apply this spray | is just as the buds show pink and beI fore they open into bloom. This office ■is anxious to assist farmers in tho proper care of their orchards and will gladly furnish additional information to any one regarding same.

I FERTILIZE TOUR OATS j rfj The Soil Improvement Committee of the National Fertilizer •JPI Association recommends for loam nnd clay soils: IC JTI Ammonia 1 to 4 % “fi' LC Phosphoric Acid 3 to 12 % IK' Potash 4 1 to 4 % < Apply from 200 to 400 pounds per acre. 7TI ~i's AMMONIA or nitrogen gives the seed a quick running start. The matured oat contains large amounts of available Phosphor- |8" ic Acid awl Potash and unless these arc available your crop will suffer in proportion. PHOSPHORIC ACID hastens ripening and helps to fill out US jjr the grain. HLi POTASH plumps the grain, gives strength to the straw and 31 US helps to prevent lodging. IX The ordinary yield of oats is 40 bushels. This can be easily Ir» 311 increased to 60 bushels and often to 80 bushels. The extra 20 Sn •A-j bushels at sixty cents gives a return of $12.00 per acre at a cost 1 AT* of fertilizer of about $5.00 per acre. pl We make and sal! a complete fertilizer of 1-10-2 formula.
