After investigating almost two years the government finds they bought twenty-one Jet planes that cost 128,350,000 but the "durn" things refuse to fly. Senator Symington has begun an investigation to discover why it he can. o o William Yearton of Virgil, Illinois was having a tough time on his farm twenty years ago so he borrowed SIOO for seed and feed. He denied the loan and fought a suit by the government agency. • He sent his check in the other day for $354 but the government says .their costs have exceeded SI,OOO. Anyway he had a lot of fun trying to get a satisfactory settlement. —0 0k— The acquittal of two men at Greenwood, Mississippi for the kidnaping and murder of a 14-year-old Chicago Negro who had whistled at the wife of one of them, created quite a furore. The jury required only seven minutes to return a verdict. The trial was almost a farce. Thousands of persons over the country have expressed their feelings at meetings held in Detroit. Chicago, New York and othern northern cities. The two men still face less serious charges than murder. S— 0 0 There is much sadness in the United States. The President, on whom we pin too much hope for our security is 111. We are assurred by government leaders that the machinery of government will continue to function. Perhaps we do pin too much faith and hope on our President. We are a demanding nation and every minute of a • President's time is consumed with the business of the office. Illness may be a great teacher for us. Out of the near tragedy may come an entirely new system of top government functions, in which other leaders might share the great and heavy responsibility of the head man. We hope so ! 0 0 Decatur high school graduates of forty years ago met Sunday for a first get-together at the « Youth and Community Center. From all reports the “old timers” had a great day. This seems to be a movement for other classes to follow suit with reunions. Sev-

eral local people have suggested a general Decatur high school reunion some time this year, with each class planning its own party and then all classes holding a general meeting at Decatur high school gymnasium. —o—e— When the news arrived that President Eisenhower was quite ill following a heart attack. Wall street got just about as sick. Stocks went, off as much as tif- * teen points and those who make a living gambling on the exchange were so shocked they immediately began a selling spree, but there were more sellers than buyers so many were left holding the bag. It looks foolish to many as there is really no signs to warrant the big change in the market Business goes on as usual and the big corporations will continue to show earnings. 0 0— This is the greatest country in the world. We buckle down to any task, no matter how hard or how serious. This week, we look and listen, as if our lives depended on it, to the greatest of baseball classics, the World Series. It’s a fine relaxation after several strenuous days which brought us the news of the President's illness and the stock market’s downward swing. Who wins will be almost secondary to the hours of pleasure the games will bring all winter ttf the second guessers. 0 0 Apparently the prospect of a new manufacturing plant coming to Decatur has cooled off. Os - course, it’s disheartening for the men who worked so hard to sell Decatur to this- group, but it doesn’t mean Decatur will not grow. Immediately, all of us should ascertain just what we lack to attract industry. We know that our water and power situation is shaky. We know that our 1 tax rate is getting higher each year. W’hat can we do to improve this situation? One answer might i be that we need men with civic ■ vision, not political vision, men i who believe in the greatness and ’ goodness of Decatur and its well ’ being, not in increasing the numi ber of employes. The situation is i well worth a long and considered study by each one of us.

How should one remove cherry pits from the mouth at the table, by dropping them in a spoon or into the cupped hand? A.

Only when the invitation includes one to the reception.

County Agent's Column 0 ■ • Liming Profitable It takes more than just a good cropping system to keep Hoosier farm land productive, report Purdue University agronomists. Specialists at Purdue have conducted tests with lime over a period of years on acid soil experiment fields. Results from live-stock-type cropping systems show that each ton of lime produces an average gross profit of sl9 per acre during each rotation. Trials were conducted on 12 experiment fields where returns were figured on corn, soybeans, wheat and hay. Mixed seedings of clovers, lespedeza and timothy were used. Based on results record for more than 25 years, agronomists say it pays to relime in order to hold the pH at 6.5 or above. The amount of profit obtained from liming will be influenced by the initial soil acidity, the amount and quality of lime applied, the nature of the soil, and the crops grown. Agronomists point out that lime may be applied at any time the field is in condition to permit spreading. Farmers who are planning to lime their fields this year should ask their county extension agent tor copies pt mimeo Al[ 110 and AY 124. '' “ .
