Seneca Farm and Factory of last week coin.lined tho following local Item "Hungry, tired and discouraged, a poor noinaii .md tivo little children WIST III Seneca Saturday night, The lady c.uni' in on a night train from Hreenville, where, she claimed, she had appen led to the Salvation Army for help without results Severn) people about town, and ibo kind hearted telegraph operators and rail way employees, made up a purse and provided ber with the necessary funds for a night's lodging and a lunch, riic depot employees and the chief of police interested themselves In tho case, and the lady and chil dren ure now at the Oconee Orphan age, above Walhalla, whore they are being cared for by Hov. Whitman, the manager of the orphanage." The Oconee Orphanage has hid a hard road to travel almost s.nce its inception, lt has truly "seen bard lines." and lins suffered much in its endeavors to accomplish good in its Held of endeavor. Thero has been much criticism, and wo have no de sire or intention of saying that none of the criticism was merited, but we firmly believe that not all of the criticisms were just. He that as lt may, Hov. S. O. Whitman is, we be lieve, a conscientious man, laboring under grave dll?cultles to accomplish pood in a field that most any man not imbued with right desires and strong convictions that he is called to do such a work as ho has under taken, would htive long since given up in despair. Again, he that as it may. this very brief statement as to the unfortu nate woman and her children is such ns to commend anew this worthy in stitution, the Oconee Orphanage, to the careful and thoughtful consider ation and liberal support of the pub lic of our county. It ls an institu tion, we believe, well worthy of the charitable consideration of our en tire people. Mistakes have been made in management, we grant that, but probably many of us under sim ilar circumstances would have made graver errors; doubtless few of us would have done beter or as well. At an rate, it seems to us that an insti tution in our midst that can and will take in and care for such unfortu nates as those referred to above ls well worthy of tho fullest considera tion of the general public of Oconee. Let us consider what this institution means lo Oconee; let us consider bow much more it could mean if it had the backing that such an insti tution should have -and must have to reach its highest degree of effi ciency and good. ********** ********* .J.

Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company, makes the fol lowing announcement: "We are making another reduction in the prices of Ford cars and the Ford trucks, effective September 2, 1921. The new prices average $70.00 under former prices, and are the lowest at which Ford cars and trucks have ever been sold. List prices, F. O. B. Detroit, are now as follows: NEW PRICK. OM) I Mt Ki:.

O?) ?05.00 loo o o SEDAN . 000.00 700.OO 10O.00 This is the third price cut during the past twelve months. On Sept. 22, 1920, the price of the Ford touring car was reduced from $575 to $440; June 7th to $415, and now to $355, making total reductions in this type of $220, or 38 per cent. The same proportionate reductions have been made in all other types. One year ago the price of the Ford Sedan was $975; now it lists at $660 with thc same equipment. We arc taking advantage of every known economy in the manufacture of our products in order that wc may give them to the public at the lowest possible price, and by doing that, we feel that we are doing the one big thing that will help this country into more prosperous times. People are interested in prices, and are buying when prices are right. The production of Ford cars and trucks for August again broke all previous high records with the total reaching $117,696. This is thc fourth consecutive month in which our output has gone over the hundred mark, the total for the four months being 463,074, which has gone a long way in making possible the the present reductions. June this year, with an output of 117,247, was the previous record month. One noteworthy feature of our sales is the increased demand for Ford trucks and cars for salesmen. This class of commercial business has been gradually increasing the past sixty days and we interpret it as a very good sign of improvement in general business. No reduction has been made in thc price of the Fordson tractor, and none is contemplated* Go over these new prices! See how little it costs to become the owner of a Ford car or a Ford truck. Can you really afford to do without one any longer? Let us tell you more about it, and advise you regarding the delivery of the particular type of car in which you you are interested.
