0 m 4 1 A STATEMENT TO THE FARMERS of GREENE CO. Several months ago we announced an entirely new change in our policies. W e believed that the people of' Greene Co. would be willing to pay cash fo r their GASOLINE and OIL if they could buy at greatly reduced prices. So we placed our-business on a strictly CASH basis. Now our beliefs have been justified and our Gasoline and Oil trade has grown to the place where it was necessary to acquire new property in order to take care o f the tremen­ dous volume o f business that we have been doing. So we4®a announcing the purchase of the Dewine Milling Co.’s plant. This plant is to he rebuilt and will be used by , us for the exclusive sales o f HIGH GRADE MOTOR OILS 1 at greatly reduced prices. W e urge every farmer to see us before buying their oil. Remember we BUY FOB CASH SELL FOR CASH , Henfce w e sell at greatly reduced prices. The CARROL- BINDER CO. 108-114 E.

Tbs way for a sinning and: divided people to get hack to God and be united is around the crucified Lord. The Passover was a memorial of the nation’s deliverance through the shed* ding of the blood of the sacrificial lamb, L The invitation was representative o f the nation (v. 2). -The king took counsel with the princes and the congregation to Show that the procla­ mation was the expression of the na­ tion’s desire. 2, The time was unusual (vv. 2-4},’ !There was not sufficient time to sane- .tlfy the people, nor to gather them together at the regular time, so they, ’ resolved Instead of postponing it for ;a year to hold.it on the fourteenth day of the second month. This liberty ‘had been granted before In an exigen­ c y (Num. 9:6-13). 3, The scope of the Invitation (vv: 5-9). It Included ail of both nations who would come to keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israel. ‘‘Israel*’ Is .now used to Include both kingdoms, :The effort was intended to win back the nation which had seceded. -The messengers were authorized to sup­ plement the proclamation with urgent exhortation to restore a united na­ tion. This urgent Invitation was tact­ fully put as follows: (1) It touched ancestral memories— ‘“Turn again unto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel” (v. 6). (2) Recalled bitter experience—“Be not like your fathers and brethren, who trespassed against the Lord God, |ahd were given up to desolation, as ye see” (v 7). (3) Aroused yearning for .captive kinsfolk—“Tour-brethren and children shall find compassion before their cap; tors” (v 9). (4) Stirred instinct of self-preserva­ tion—"So that they shall come again unto this land” (v- 9). (5) Pledged forgiveness (v. 9), 4, Israel’s reception ot the Invita­ tion (vv, IQ-12). ' • ~ This invitation in Israel met with a mingled reception. (1)7Some mocked. The urgent and sincere, invitation only excited opposi­ tion and ridicule. (2) , Some with ‘humble hearts came .to Jerusalem. In Judah.-'God gave them one heart to accept the summons to unite In the .Lord around the great Passover, II. The Pawoyer Kept (vv. 13-27). 1. Altars removed (vv. 13, 14). In the time of Ahaz (28:24) these heathen altars .were erected In Jeru­ salem. Before there cOUId be worship of the true God air. traces of idolatry must be removed. This voluntary act of the people Bhowed a right spirit. . 2. The Passover killed <v. 15). Th$ zeal of the people was'shown In their going forward with the service, though the priests were not rendy for their ■task,' ■ . • ■ 8. The priests and Levites ashamed <w. 15-20). The zeal oT the people put to shame the priests and Levites, stimulating (them to perform" their duties neebrd- ing to the law as given by'Moses. The ;Levifes then took charge of the kill* ’ing of the Passover. Though many,of ‘the people were ceremonially unpre­ pared to take part in the most sacred ’service, they were accepted as wor­ shipers through the intercession of Hezekiah. God accepted the purpose of heart rather than the letter of the law. - 4, The praise of glac, hearts (vv, 21 , 22 ). They, continued seven days with gladness: (1) The Levites and priests sang God's praise daily with loud in­ struments (v, 21) i (2) Hezekiah spoke .comforting words to the Levites (v. 22), He commended them and their teaching Of the knowledge Of God. (8) They made confession of their ’sins to God (v. 22), 5, Th$ Passover prolonged seven days (w. 23-27), - The king’s object In prolonging the feast tfas to make as tasting an Im­ pression as possible, So as to result In ;the thorough conversion of their souls to God.

This year, they are crashing into the cash crop class, with two Mg concerns bidding for acreage and offering to contract in advance fo r the soybeans raised on. that acreage. Uses already envolved, and new use* being discovered, for the beans, are the basis o f the demand for them. Soybeans as stock feed, and parti­ cularly as an emergency hay crop, have been gaining popularity in Ohio for the past 10 years, but they have not been regarded heretofore ■as a cash crop. Now, in the opinion o f Dr; J, B. Park, head o f the crops department of the Ohio State University, soy­ beans, under .proper conditions, can successfully compete with oats as a cash crop on the farm, and even, to a limited extent, with wheat and com, Two milling companies, one with a plant in Ohio, the other an Illinois concern, now have representatives in Western Ohio, seeking to sign up owners of acreage which will be, plant­ ed to soybeans this year. The capacity o f the plants is sufficient to handle the product of more acres than are likely to he contracted this year, in Dr, Park's opinion. Soybeans have several cultural ad­ vantages. They will grow in a soil more acid than is tolerated by some of the other legumes; they can be plant­ ed. fairly late in the season and yet mature a crop; the strawje ft after the beans are threshed out is highly palatable to stock, and has practically the same feed value as timothy hay As a soil improving crop the soybean has some value.,even when the .plants are harvested, although, their- value in this respect is not so great as that o f the .clovers, which, store a greater percentage o f the nitrogen, extracted from the air, in the roots., Most o f the nitrogen fixed by the soybeans is stored in the beans and- in the stems and leaves o f the plants. Soybeans are the source o f oil which has many uses. The lowest grade of the product goes into the manufacture of soap. Millions o f pounds o f soy­ bean oil .are imported annually for use as a substitute-for linseed oil and in a mixture with linseed oil, in the man­ ufacture o f paints!. The paint industry is hble to use a great deal more soy­ bean oil than is produced or is likely to be produced, in this country. From the finer grades o f the oil products" are made for human consumption. The "“cake” remaining after the oil is extracted la used largely in the manufacture o f high protein food fo r dairy cows, fo r hogs.and for poultry. It also has other uses which make it valuable. * DISTANCE s o m e t h in g TO THINK ABOUT By F.

As yoff read those items you must have asked yourself two or, three questions. - Yon must have said, “Ought we to call ourselves civilized when such things happen? Are we really pro­ gressing toward perfection os are we going backward toward savagery?” There Is a theory, which of course l has not been proven, that the human race develops In waves* There is a great surge toward the ideal man and then that is followed with n retrogression toward the primi­ tive cave. man with his crude, un­ bridled pnsslons, his lack of culture and his absence of regard for his fel­ lows. Which way are we headed now? Are we on the .up* grade or have wc reached the peak and begun the descent? Killing an aged woman for witch­ ery certainly IS hot advancing. Crucifying a human being, even as a part of a religious rite, is not on evidence of civilization. Killing ft man because he does not Inbor to suit yon, or killing him for any reason at all, 1? not an index of a higher culture or an increasing moral sense. ■«*,* ( To let millions Of people starve In China, while there Is plenty In Amer­ ica Is not a very hearty application of tins command to love your neighbor as yohrself.
