You can’t expect to get a high yield on next year's crop unless there is enough plant food available in your soil. But guessing how much fertilizer your soil needs to grow that big crop is risky business. You can eliminate this risk by taking advantage of the free A. AC. Soil Service. Guided by the size and topography of your field, an A.A.C. fieldman will take an adequate number of borings for a good soil sample. He’ll record a complete and accurate crop history of the field, too. Then the carefully marked •ample will be mailed to the nearest A.A.C. laboratory where trained chemists will analyze it to find out how much available plant food it contains. Tests will also be run to determine soil pH. Results and field history will _ then be studied carefully by A.A.C. agronomists familiar with farm practices in your area. ~ In a few weeks you'll receive a complete report of the fertility level of the field, with sound, practical advice on how and when to fertilize and lime to grow a better crop. Recommendations will be made for your particular crop and soil. This report caA take the guess out of buying fertilizer. Let A.A.C.

INDIANA which Tinder apparently plans to use—should point “surely and unerringly’’ to the guilt of the defendants and should exclude every "reasonable” argument of innocence. Two of Tinder’s first witnesses —highway chairman John Peters and right-of-way director Charles Dawson—were called to the courtroom Thursday but their testimony was postponed by the argument over instructions. Another state witness, former highway chairman Neil Godwin, appeared lost for the trial when he was taken to a Franklin hospital with a heart condition after attending the first session of the trial Monday.

"The trial begins with a motion for a new trial,” Lewis said. DETROIT — (IB — Dominic Carbone, 37, landed in jail because he’s not one to take a broken romance lightly. Police said he cut the ignition wires on his former girl friend’s car and then poured sand into the gas tank.
Kohler Found Guilty Os Unfair Practices Finding Returned By Trial Examiner WASHINGTON (IB — A National Labor Relations Board examiner has found the strike-bound Kohler Co., of Kohler, Wis., -guilty of unfair labor practices. He said nearly all persons on strike at the company should be given their jobs back when the walkout ends. The trial examiner, George A. Downing, said he could not determine at this time the number of workers involved in the long strike who would be affected by his ruling. Downing based his decision Thursday on finding that the company prolonged the strike by unfair labor practices in violation Os the Taft-Hartley Act. The strike was called April 5, 1954, by Local 833 of the United Auto Workers. AFL-CIO. The June 1 date, Downing said, marked the first of several*actions by Kohler which were unfair and converted the walkout from an economic strike to one over unfair practices. Under the law, a firm may fire strikers during an economic strike but not during one over alleged unfair practices. Downing's findings automatically go into effect as an NLRB ruling unless an appeal is filed with the board within 20 days.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA
Im 1 Internationa I UnJona KsjSsOll Sunday School Leraom OE3EnSllrffei Striaiart: I Corinthians D.t.U.b.l Readins: Romans 8:12-23. A Moral Church Lesson far October 13, 1957 ' THE letter of Paul to the church at Corinth shows us, so to speak, a church with the lid off. These letters were plainly not intended for publication,—that is, they were not sent out broadcast over the church at large. They were sent to the church concerned, one of Paul’s problem churches.
ms Dr. Foreman
If Christians today sometimes think that their church would be free from its faults if only they could get the right preacher, they should remember the Apostle Paul. Even he had
problem, churches—almost “nothing else but” Last week we noticed how highly Paul speaks of the church as an ideal, and yet how dark the reality sometimes was. One illustration "Os this was the crime at Corinth. For crime it was. right in the church, the crime of incest The case seems to have been well known, Paul does not need to mention names. But the church had done not one thing about it. None of them had had the nerve even to speak out about this. (Were they too squeamish to mention it, or were the sinners perhaps prominent people?) The Church Talks Morality
The church at Corinth is dead and gone long since. But we ask questions about, the church of today. Is it moral? It certainly should be; the aim for every one of its members is nothing less than to be like Jesus. The church certainly talks morality. At least half an hour every week is spent listening to a serious talk which, in spite of what rambling there may be, does hold up high ideals. The Ten Commandments are posted on the wall of the Sunday school hall. Every Sunday school class iajlp favor of morality. You couldn’t get a vote against morality in the whole place. But does the church talk morality? Does it teach social responsibility? Does it hold up the same standards for the rich and the strong as for the poor and weak? Is the church putting its finger on the sins of our time or does it spend more energy denouncing a few simple sins than some of the bigger ones? Does the church talk morality on any higher level than (say) a luncheon club? Does the church lead the moraj progress of the time, or does it do no better than to follow prevailing trends? The Church Understands Morality The church can see into moralityv what it really means, too. The church today, at any rate,— just any church on any corner «r country road— knows, or at least it has heard dozens of times, that immortal 13tb chapter of I Corinthians, “ — greatest of these is Love.” The church knows, or has often enough been told, that lote is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:10). Ask almost any chureh member what is the most important quality in the Christian life, and he will usually say “Love.* But does the church understand this? On the one hand it understands that all the law of God comes down to and is focussed in just those two commands, love God and love your neighbor. But has the church often struggled with the question, how does lote work out, in business, in education, in race and industrial relations, in any of the complex areas of today’s puzzling, pushing life? Is the church’s understanding of love something of words more than of works? The Church Upholds Morality The church upholds and insists on moral standards, too. Active in civic reforms always is the Ministerial Association. But what ministers.and churches do in their own circles .may be something else again. In how many congregations win the church tolerate a minister if he persists in pointing out and condemning, in God’s name, sins and wrongs committed generally by the members of that church? Don't congregations often muzzle their ministers, as good as telling him he must not preach about this or that “controversial” theme? And, most painful question of all: When there is known to be wrong-doing in a congregation, what are the members likely to do about it? Do they, like the Corinthians, Shut their eyes and pretend notto see it? Can a church be said to uphold morality if it* never does a thing to, about or with those who drag morality down?

First Things First Rev. J. R. Meadows e> God calls and we shall respond. The Father makes us His emissaries to bring to others a knowledge of His love and the blessed privilege in sharing in His ministrations to the world. He counts upon us 1 and we shall not fail Him. “First things first" is a compelling motive in any well-ordered life. If good but less importont concerns usurp the primary place in our interest and endeavor, the best will suffer and even the other purposes which we endeavor to assist will be damaged. ( There is no point in saving a world from which God is exclued. Such a world would not be revere it but for the reason that destroy itself. The call for wholehearted support of the Mission as our most compelling responsibility rests upon our recognition of the world’s greatest need. Not because we happen to feel that the Church is helpful to us and because we reserve it but for the reason that no other agency is completely deFARM BUREAU INSURANCE Leland A. Ripley Monroe, Ind.
