Recently I drove quite a bit over our state and while driving let my thoughts play at random. So now! I thought of the vast areas of the United States which wait for settlers whose labor will bring to reality the vast possibilities of enormous areas. How shall we bring to pass the great potential of undeveloped resources? Because I cannot prescribe the remedy does not mean that the need is not great. Ride to Cali fornia, taking a note of all the territory, beginning with the pos sibilities of South Carolina.- You may recall my prediction that some day explorers will find incalculable wealth in our sandy strecthes from Cheraw to Au gusta, running through the coun ties of York, Lancaster, Ker shaw, Richland, Sumter, Lexing ton, and Aiken, And we have a potential in our large areas of swamps. Some time ago a very acute and constructive businessman negotiated for the purchase of some swamp areas I have been holding for the dawn of a new era. Who can tell? In the marvelous economy of Jehovah there is no waste, no useless areas. Swamps sandy stretches and marsh stretches will some day be made to serve the needs of a new day as our understanding grows. • • How great is New York!!

In 1895, in the midst of a mas sive European war, Napoleon of fered a 12,000 franc award to the first patriot who could devise a method of keeping food fresh until it reached the front. Nicolar Appert came up with the solu tion; food boiled in containers which were then sealed with corks and waxed around the edges. Voila, the tin can!
