CROCKER PASSES Mrs. Fannie Crocker, 75, wife, of W. A. Crocker, died at her home oij Academy street Thursday following an extended illness. Funeral .services were^” conducted Friday afternoon at one o’clock from the residence. Interment followed in Oakwood cemetery at Spartanburg, the services being in charge of Rev.^ G. P. Lanier. Mrs, Crocker was affectionately known by her friends as “Granny Crocker.” Though a native of Spar- taiift>drg county, she had been Presi dent of Clinton for 21 years and wm a devoted member of Calvary Baptist chbrch. • hi addition to her husband, the de in every line of industry^ are demand ing higher pay. That won’t do them much good, though, if higher pay re- sults- in still higher prices. Profits — In Volume Most business men find it'hard to learn that they can earn larger prof its by selling goods at lower prices than by trying to keep prices up. That is trye in retailing as well as in manufactdring. Automobile makers discovered long ago that thejT^uld pay top jvages, improve their cars ■frorti year to year, and still keep on reducing ^ices. It’s all a matter of volume. j The railroads didn’t like it when the Interstate Commerce commission ordered passenger fares reduced to two cents a mile last June; but the B. & 0. reports after six months that it has carried 61 per cent more pas sengers and increa.'sed its revenue 18 per cent, an additional cost of only six per -cent. I can’t as a consumer, sympathize with efforts to protect the profits of the inefficient by encouraging price- fixing. Without free competition the cost of living will always go up faster than incomes rise. ~ LUMBER — Haul A lot of what we pay for most y^eased is survived by four step-chil- /<iren, P. N., J.

I ran into an illus tration of the size of this big country of ours and the distances goods have to travel, the other day when I want ed some clear lumber to put up a few shelves in my house. There wasn’t a board to be had in any lumber yard in the neighboritood. “All good lumber comes from the Pacific coast,” one dealer explained. “It corner by water and the shipping strike has stopped all shipments. I’ve got a consignment coming by rail, but it will cost you niore.” It did. The railroad rate for the 3,000 mile haul put the price of.lum- ber at Atlantic ports up nearly a half. Instead of $7 a hundred feet I had to pay ^10. I don’t wonder that so many substitutes for lumber are coming into use. We.itminster. Mrs. Niver accompan ied jhim home Sunday.

Fifty years ago it wa.s a simpler and less expensive hobby than it is today, d wish I had kept that stamp collection of the 1880’s, for I had some items which are so rare nowadays that collectors have paid thousands, of dollars for Uieir like; ’ . I have a friend who cashed in on hi.s knowledge of stamp values "bnly a week or two agOi. He had been in correspondence wjth a high official of the government of -Afghanistan. He found himself short of money in Washington, where he knew nobody whom he could ask to cash a check. He had to get back to New York. He had with him hisvlatest letter from Afghanistan. He telephoned the stamp editor of a Washington paiier and asked for the name of the most reliable stamp dealer. He took his Af ghanistan let^r to the dealer, who offered him $40 for the envelope and stamp! That paid his hotel bill, his fare back to New York.

Inc. France and Great Britain trying to keep out,, but probably both getting into it. I don’t see how this country is like ly to‘be directly involved, but such a war certainly would do us no good in the long run. It would upset the eco nomic equilibrium of the. world, though for a while it would stimulate our trade with Europe. For my part, I can’t see how all the neutrality resolutions which con fess can pass can prevent us from selling supplies to nations at war. If we have the goods they want and they have the money to pay for them, I don’t imagine considerations of neu trality will make our farmers refuse to sell food or cotton, or our manu facturers decline European offers for shoes dr motor cars. In time ^ war, a lot of peace goods become war goods. 8VBSCRIBB ’TO THB CHlONlCLB *The Paper Bvftyhfdy Weay ANNOUNCES SHOWING MODELS .
