BANK OF SERVICE If You Intend To Drive A Used Car This Summer, Buy It Now Ford Sedans, Coupes, Roadsters and Trucks BOGER BABSON, well known American economist. in one of his recent reports tells us to expect an automobile shortage this spring and summer. He says. “Automobile demand should increase and be heavier than during the spring of 1922.... Prices will become firmer and orders should be placed at once for spring deliveries.” With the first warm day of spring hundreds of people, disappointed at not being able to get delivery of new cars for several weeks or months, will decide to buy good used cars- Tins will not only make used cars go up in price but will make it hard to find a good used car. If you will buy a used car eventually, you can buy it now’ and save enough to repaint the ear. buy new tires and tune up the motor if necessary’. ■r We are in position at this time to ofl'er you reconditioned cars at a figure that after driving them you will agree they are bargains. We must sell these cars at a low’ figure in order to make room for our Spring stock of new cars that will arrive soon. Be Wise Don’t Delay. Pay a little down and a little each month.

KINDS OF FERTILIZERS Purdue Publication Discusses Different Brands Os Fertilizer To the farmer who asks what kind of commercial fertilizer is best the answer may rightly bo made that several factors will assist, in making such a determination. Due to the fact that different crops require tlifferent amounts of certain plant foods It is evident that fertilizers with different analysis must he used to furnish this plant food. Also, different typos of soil are found to be lacking in different plant food elements and necessarily a fertilizer must be used which will make up the deficiency. During the past few years the fertilizer manufacturers have been selling a great multiplicity of brands of fertilizer, several of them low-grade, and consequently the consumer has had to pay a larger price for the material than would be the case if only I a few different analysis were sold. It is obvious that the overhead will . be greater in manufacturing a large number of brands than in putting out only a few standard formulas. Accordingly, the leading fertilizer manufacturers and representatives of the soil department of several experiment stations in the corn belt have decided upon a few high-grade, high-analysis fertilizers based on the requirement of the soil in the locality where the fertilizer is to be used. This will eliminate the low grade fertilizers which have been sold upon I their name only. Circular 92, recently published by I Purdue University, takes up the dis- ; ferent fertilizers agreed upon, disI cussing the kind which should be j used on different soils for the differ-1 lent crops grown in this section. The ' bulletin is not technical in nature and explains very well what fertilizers should be used. A copy may be obtained by writing or calling at the county agent’s office.

IMPROVED UNIFORM WTERNaTKHaL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. DTeaUier of English Bible in th* Moody Bibl* Institute of Chicago.) Copyright. 1»M. Weetern N,WM>M>er Union. LESSON FOR MARCH 4 JESUS TEACHING IN .THE TEMPLE LESSON TEXT—Luk* 2O:1S-M; 21:1-4. GOLDEN TEXT—Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s and unto God the things which be God'aLuke 20125. REFERENCE MATERIAL—7;2S2S; Isa 18:14-21); Acts 4:7-22; Jlom. ISU)7. PRIMARY TOPIC-Tha Glftt That Pleased Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Th* Widow and: Uer Two Mites. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jesus the Fearless Teacher. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Jesus Answering Ills Opposera. The popularity of Jesus after the triumphal entry greatly troubled the rulers of Israel. He met their w icked challenge as to his authority in such a skillful way as to place them under condemnation for their unbelief. This condition was accentuated by the partible of the householder. I. The Question of Paying Tribute (20:19-26), 1. Spies Sent to Entrap Jesus (v. 20). The rulers were too cowardly to do tills themselves, so they employed underlings to do their mean work while they hid away. This diabolical method is employed today in political and religious life. Many times questions tire raised under the guise of sincerity, when the real purpuM is to do mischief. 2. Wicked Flattery (v. 21). They ! complimented His truthful teaching, His impartiality and courage. They certified to His faithfulness even to tliut extent that He would fuee Caesar himself. Tills compliment was true, though insincerely given. Back of this flattery was the base purpose to destroy Jesus. Many today praise to the face in order to stab in the back. 8. The Cunning Question (vv. 2226). “Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?” At this time the Jews were galling under tlie yoke of the Roman government. To have answered tills question either by “yes” or “no” would have Involved difficulties. To have answered “yes,” would have conveyed the impression of endorsing all that the Roman government did. To have answered, “no,” would have at once brought him into conflict with the government. It is not always an easy matter for a Christian to determine liis right reI latlon to civil government. Christ’s reply to this question properly understood and applied is the final word on the subjet' Until the civil authorities demand that which Is a violation of God’s law we are bound to render unto them obedience. Render unto Caesar the things due within the realm of the rights of government. But while Christ’s answer sets forth their duties to civil authorities. He used tiie occasion to impress upon them tlie duties due to God. Render unto God tlie things that are God’s. Man bears the linage of God. Therefore lie shotild honor and serve Him. Since he enjoy’s God's protection and care, it is his duty to own allegiance to Him, yield his life to Him In service, worship and praise. Everyone who enjoys the benefits of civil government is obliged to pay the taxes which are necessary for the support of that government, and everyone who receives God’s favor is placed under a like obligation unto Him. 11. Jesus’ Estimate of Gjfts (21:1-4). 1. Jesus Watching the People Giving (v. 1). He was greatly interested in observing the way the people cast their, gifts into the treasury. Perhaps there is more vital index to one’s character than the way he behaves before the Lord’s treasury. Jesus sits over against every treasury and knows every dollar cast into it. He knows how the dollars come and how they go. No trickery can deceive Him. He not only knows this in the church, but He knows it in the business world. 2. The Rich Gaie of Their Abundance (w. 1-4). They, no doubt, gave much, but In proportion to what they had left their gifts were small. The size of the gift is not primarily to be measured by how much it is, but how much has the giver left. 3. A Widow Gave Two Mites (w. 2-4). In value a mite was less than a cent Though the two coins were of small value themselves, they represented her all —not merely her surplus, but her living. Let no one deceive himself by pretending to give the widow’s mite, for to give the widow's mite means to give everything. 4. Jesus’ Verdict (w. 3-4). He declared that she had given more than they all. Jesus looks into the heart and estimates our gifts not by their size but by the motives prompting them. An Honest Man. I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an “honest man.” —George Washington. Happiness. Oh, how bitter a thing It Is to look into happiness through another man’s eyes I—Shakespeare. Must Make the Pot 8011. Fortune may find a pot, but your own Industry must make it boll.

MANY USE POISON ( More Than Half of Indianapolis Sul. tides End Life With Poison Indianapolis, March 2.—Morn than half of the people In Indianapolis who committed suicide during 1922 took their lives with poison from the corner drug store. Thirty-five out of every sixty sul rides were affected by poison, statistics available today, showed. More than half of those choosing the poison route swallowed carbolic acid, lysol or some other common form of poison. According to physicians here, the rate of suicides by poisoning is increasing more rapidly than the to. tai number of suicides. Some in Id this to the fact that anyone who wishes can obtain poison of some sort. Ranking next to poison as a means of "ending it all” came firearms. It used to be the vogue when the crops failed or the stock died, or triplets were born to hunt up an old piece of rope and jump from a rafter in the barn. Although hanging carries away honors for third place, it isn’t as popular a method as it used to be When it comes to cutting, most of those who wish to take a chance on conditions in the next world use a razor the police records show. — * DECATUR GETS ON THE MAP In a letter received here from Mrs. John W. Vail, who with Mr. Vail, is spending the winter in Waterproof, iLouisiana, was a clipping from the New Orleans States, bearing a Decatur, Indiana date line and saying that, there were 83 basketball teams in this city which claims a popula. tion of 5.000. This story was carried in the Daily Democrat some time ago. Mrs. Vail stated that she and Mr Vail were enjoying fairly good health and expect to lie back in Decatur within three weeks. 4— WANT ADS EARN—s—s—2 5— S—S—WANT Ans F.ARV—t—
