Shannon, of jhe well known firm of Springs & Shannon, asserts in a recent interview, that Kershaw county fat mora qrv quick to realize thutyalue of a good farm Implement. He aaya that thoae whq buy only the bptter quality of plows, tillage equipment, etc., are those who have learned from .experience that the so-called cheaper kinds serye only to make trouble and result, almost always in unsatisfactory crops. "I iiave been noticing the buying of implements in this town for considerable length of time/' states Mr. Shannon, "and It is quite a common thing to find that every day, mora and more farmers appreciate the quality to be found in what has been proved the better line of implements. Folks in this part of the country aren't going to t>e satisfied with just any old kind of plow or planter, any more. They're all buying the better kind. They're finding out jthat if they want good crops they've got to ptaht with good planters, till the soil witVtbe best tillage implements an4 harvest with only the finest machinery." Mr. Shannon went on to. say that' the orignial cost of any Implement doesn't seem to affect its sale as much as it has in past years. "You know," he tells us, "It used to be that when a farmer was choosing between two or more similar plows, he invariably bought the one with* the lowest price. Today, it's different, He buys what has proved to be the best "in the experience of thousands of users." Mr. Shannon handles the well jcnown Avery line, made by the B. F. Avery and Sons Company of Louisville, Ky. He says, " Of course, I believe I have the finest line of farm implements that is made. It's not just because I sell them that makes < me believe it, either. It's mbre because so many buyers of Avery goods come back again and again for more equipment. They tell me that they're satisfied with Avory performance ? and that's the acid test, I guess." The slogan of the Avery organization is "There is no Substitute for Experience'^ and, according to Mr. Shannon, this is proved by the statements of his customers. He says, "It seems that some farmers have to learn for themselves that it s the proved product, regardless of price, that will make the most money for them. Those who have used Avery implements are sure that there i isn t any better. And from the way | I'm selling them eveiy day, I gue-^s there aren't either!"

When President Coolidge retire* from office March 4, l?297ne will be possessed of * fortune estimated at not let* than $400.000,, largely derived from his savings while in the White House, relates a Washington special to JNow York World. His friends think he will return to Northampton, Mass., and live in comparative retirement, perhaps writing articles or books on auestlons of government. So far as is known, he has disclosed to no one his intentions or his desires, though some years ago he told some of hTs intimates that he would like some day to be president of Amherst, his alma mater. That he will have as many business opportunities as a successful trans-Atlantic flyer can hardly be doubted. Already there have been rtnort*, necessarily incapable of verification as yet, that the chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, vacant since the death of Elbert H. Gary, was being held open for him in'case ho eliminated himself from politics. There have also been hates of prominent insurance companies waiting on the sidelines to Bhowhr bim with flattering salaries and dignified overlordships. New Englanders marked with the same strain of thriftiness resent the often repeated comments on Coolidge's "acquisitiveness," and take pains to point the difference between frugality and venality. They are sure he would not be lured by mere gold, that he has no hankerings for great wealth, and that, in fact, the money which his inbred habit of economy has led him to store up outruns his fondest dreams of fortune. Mr. Coolidge has been even more circumspect in confiding his personal affairs than he has been in airing his political intentions, so that the estimates of his wealth are the deductions of those around him rather than his own acknowledgments. But those who have been close to him since he entered the White House say confidently that of the more than $400 ,000 hie will have received in sal- f ary by the time his term ends, fully $300,000 will have been saved?put by for the days of his retirement. This estimate rests mainly on the assumption that he has had no occasion to spend more than $25,000 a year of the $75,000 annual salary. And some of his associates think he has spent even less. Added to whatever his savings are the approximate $100,000 which his father is said to have willed to him. Most of this sum is said to be invested in farm mortgages. To the Coolidge of 'Northampton days, paying $38 a month rent and getting along, before he became governor of Massachusetts, .n the small retainers paid to a comparatively ob scure lawyer, his present competence looms as a genuine fortune. As to a man of Mr. Coolidge's simple habits and tastes, it is amply adequate. It would be hard to think of any man in public life with less need for money than Mr. Coolidge. About his only personal extravagance is the smoking of cigars, the poorness of which has frequently been a subject of rueful comment. By nature he shuns social life, in the sense in which it is generally understood. He never went in for sports. Horseback riding, which he essayed tentatively solely as a means of exercise, he quickly forsook for his celebrated electric horse. After frowning upon the pastime of fishing, he took it up on the humble basis of worms as | against the more expensive arts of H! the fly 'Tiffhermiuh. , jy,, H< Although these birds have beea I1 known to scietice for 150 years, the B: first nest and qggs of the rare Arctic H surf birds were found recently on H Mont McKinley, Alaska.
