Mr. McGowan has instructed all maintenance forces of the highway department to re move every sign along state high Ways. The order effects all signs within ten feet of the outer edge of both sides of tht* roads, according to the limit of the law on the subject.. The idea for the removal of the signs on highways originated with Chief Commissioner MeGowan whilo he was on a visit to ^Sumter. Ladies of the civic club in Sumter urged the highway commissioner to aid them in their efforts to beautify the roads of Sumter county. Mr. MeGowan, after an examination jnto his rights Snto the matter, issued the order. Not only is the order one that will aid in plans of local authori ties to beautify, their roads, but the measure. 7s designed to eliminate all possible hazards on the highways. An abundance of signs of every descrip tion ^are believed to interfere with the effectiveness of the sighs placed by the highway department for the safety and convenience of motorists. JJome signs also, it is said, have such cautious admonitions as "Stop," and like exclamations, . which nullify the effectiveness of sych signs placed by the authorities. While on a visit to Charleston county last week, Chief Commissioner McGowan was impressed with a sign on Route No. G, between Charleston and Savannah, placed by county au thorities at *each grade crossing. The sign with the word "Stop" shows the skull and cross bones and is regard ed as a very effective measure de signed to make motorists "Stop, Look, and Listen." Chief Commissioner Mc-. Gewan is planning to have similar signs placed at all grade crossings in the state, if the plan "is 1ound feasible. The Richest Man (From tlhe Tampa Times) Bitter though the, pill must be, Wall Street, is obliged to declare Henry Ford the world's first billion^, aire. Wall Street watches Henry^ like a hawk and when the Fo^pj Motor Company filed its balance sheet for 1924 with the Massachusetts Com missioner of Corporations, as requir ed by law, Wall stfeeters sharpened their pencils and figured up the total value of the company to be $863,000, 000. This is on the basis of shares being worth $6,000, which is said to be the extreme miniipum esti mate. But the making of cars is only one of Ford's money making in terests. He manufactures tractora and airplanes, and operate boat lirias, railroads, lumber camps and coal mines, all of which add to the total value of his property and brings it above $1,000,000,000. A comparison of assets and liabil ities for 1923 and 1924 indicates that the Surplus- of the Ford Motor Com pany was increase^ by $100,435,416 during 1924, and the Wall Street estimators put this down as the net profit for the year. The company made 2,100,000 cars and trucks last year, which would mean an average .profit of $47 on each machine. Profits on the 172,645 shares of stocks may be estimated in the. same way. At a par value of $100, profits would be 582 per share, or 582 per cent. No, you cannotr buy any of this stock at any figure. 4 It isn't for sale. Last year was Ford's best year. He sold cars at the rate of 250 an hour, 24 hours a day, for -the 300 working days. He paid his employe^ $253,0^1,528 in salaries during the year. And to think that the Ford company was incorporated only 22 *years ago with $28,000 in its treas ury. The story of its growth is the great romance of modern industrial history. f Four thousand working people of Belgium will receive, this year, ^the government premium of one-fifthrtJW cost of a house which is paid to those who build homes for themselves.

To th:> wealth of "raw material" the hand of man has added much. On the hill at the head of a plain sloping gently to the sea the old Francis an fathers pl a nted Santa Barbara mission, proT>~ ably the best known of those > relig ious edifices that were strung along the "Camilo Heal" in Spanish days. On the two^mile slope between the mission and the ocean the city grew up a sleepy Indian and Mexican vil lage at first, then an American town of typical Californiaus, Thanks to the barrier of the Santa Yner mountains, which rise to a height of M'veral thousand feet im mediately behind the c 1 1 y , Santa Bar* J bara is sheltered from northern winds and has an. almost ideal winter cli mate. Because of this and the large winter ) colony that has been drawn thCrc, the city has come to be called "the American Mehtone," after the well known resort on France's sunny Mediterranean coast. With the city's growth in popular ity, the hand of man added still more to its charms. People, of wealth mov ed to Santa Barbara from all jjarts. o<' the United States to build hand some residences and develop exten sive estates, until now Santa Barbara has one of the largest "millionaire colonies"' oh the west coast. The cen ter of this development, with its ad^. juncts of country clubs and polo fields, is in the suburb of Monteeito, in the coastal hills several miles east of Santa Barbara. The city of Santa Barbara extendi from the edge of the Pacific up the foothills of the Santa Ynez moun tains. Many of the business houses are on relatively low ground not far from the Pacific. Residences have been built up the mountain slopes to the north, east and west. Because of its mountain barrier, Santa Barbara's railways enter the city along the ocean and afford trav elers for many miles east and -west $fthe city some of the most inter 'eating befean views to be found on the West coast. At places the rails are only, a few feet above the high water mark, and if large tidal waves had swept inland doubtless much o i the track would have been demolished. The main highways which connect Santa Barbara with the remainder of the state also parallel the coast. So close <Jo the hills approach the oceatii east of the city that at places it has been necessary to drive piles into the beach and construct the road on them around the cliffs. The motorist driv ing over the "sea going" stretches of highway often hears the breakers thundering immediately beneath him. Santa Barbara is situated on the only extensive section of the coast of California which lies almost directly east and west. It is about 300 miles down the coast from San Francisco and not more than 75 miles from the port of Los Angeles. .Its 'situation has made it famous as a place for water sports. About 25 miles off shore lies a string of partly sub merged mountains, the Santa Bar bara islands, which make Santa Bar bara channel between them and the mainland a yachtman's paradise. Inj the Santa Barbara channel, almost as placid as a lake, the United States naval vessels built on the Pacific coast are given their speen tests. It is in the winter that Santa Bar bara draws its greatest throng of tourists. The city has dozens of hotels. In the green foothills are several of the best country clubs and golf courses to be found in the state. Death of Oliver H. Watson Oliver H.
