Kverybody in the big buaineaa world it talking of the great pro?perity coming our way in 102H. Thin doesn't rncah that it is going to fall in anybody's lap. It means just what it always has meant, th&# man that works while he hopett and prays will 1>? prosperous, says the Florence News-Review. Among the items of time and labor* saving machinery which extension workers of the United Htatea Depart, ment of Agriculture recommend are the power washing Machines. They have found that an effective way of demonstrating the labor-saving possibilities is to induce a housewife to wear a pedometer, u machine that registers the number of steps taken or the distance walked while doing her washing in the usual way. An Ohio woman .found that a power ^ washer gasoline iron, and running wuter in the laundry enabled her to do the weekly washing and ironing with only 4 1-2 miles of walking. Without the labor-saving devices the same amount of work would require from tt to 12 miles of travel. Homedempnstration agents working among negroes have found many women Interested and eager to buy power machinery. Their reason is that it makes it possible for them to take in more washing and so increase their earning power. Springs to Charlotte Charlotte Observer, December 24.? Colonel Leroy Springs, millionaire South Carolina textile magnate, purchased a $75,000 homo on Queens road, West, in Myers Park yesterday and will move here next week. He also will .open an office in Charlotte to handle his numerous business affairs, he said in discussing his change~in residence -whety called over long distance at Lancaster. S.

In such high regard is the home paper held at the White House, w$ are told, that a president of the United States has given orders to hi* secretaries that he must be allowed, personally, to tear off the wrapper and to be the first to peruse the paper from his home town. .?

The editor of ? weekly newspaper in an Illinois town of less than 1,000 population has expressed well in verse the sentiment of a nation of homefolks toward their home newspapers in these lines: When "chores" are done and stock is fed, ? And the wee rascals are tucked in bed, .. The kerosene lamp Is adjusted Juat so <\ It throws a light with soft yellow glow; While my pipe is filled with the favorite brand??

Without its newspaper, the typical American community would be like a school without a teacher, or a church without a pastor. In the aggregate, the community newspaper determines the outcome of more elections, exerts a greater influence for constructive community progress, is read longer by more members of the family and constitutes, with its circulation of 15,000,000 a better advertising medium than any other group of newspapers or periodical publication. With the added influence and added circulation of the weekly's first cousin, the small city daily, the community's power in the affairs of the nation becomes very evident. (JEE McGBB SAYS?

Experience, the the dear teacher, the hard task master, is the underlying factor in the success of most big companies of the Unit*d?States, according to the recent statement made by Donald McDonald, Jr., Vice-President of the B. P. Avery A Sons Co., Louisville. Mr. McDonald points to the leading manufacturers of various pro* ducts to prove his point. "Henry Ford,", he states, "is an experienced engineer; that is why his automobile has sold into the millions. It . is his experience and that of his associates wherein lies the reason for the successful manufacture of tire Ford Car. "They have learned through years of doing just one thing how to do it well. Experience, that's al|. Experience in the manufacture of a substantial, inexpensive car." Going further into the discussion, Mr. McDonald cites the case of the company of which he is vice-president. He disclosed the fact that over ohe hundred years ago, in 1825 to be exact, the company's founder, Benjamin Franklin' Avery, began making plows and plowshares. "He' made them with his own hands," Mr. McDonald told us. "He beat them out, tempered them and assembled the parts in his little blacksmith shop in Virginia. Mr.* Avery actually experienced the making of a fine product. , "As the years rolled on, the little shop became a factory and helpers were needed. The founder taught these helpers the rudiments of plow and implement making; taught them the principles he himself had learned from actual experience. As they worked with the now rapidly expanding factory it was by their experience that they taught others. And so on down the years to the present time, there has been found no substitute for the best teacher of all?Experience! "Our company has experimented in every wiy to find the right implements for the Southern farmer," says Mr. McDonald, "we have listened to the experiences of others and coupled them wi^h our o\yn. We so firmly believe in the. value of experience in our busines that we tell our friends about it in a slogan, 'There is no Substitute for Experience.' "And it's true, loo," the Avery official ended, "it is proved every day in our factory, in our sales offices and in actual field work that gradual absorption ot lessons learned from experience is the main reason for Avery products having reached such a high point of efficiency."

In hi* talk to the local Rotariait* * few day* ayo Thome* U. Perrln, secretary of one of Spartanburg'# leading building and loan association* and prominent officer in the etate organization, told of the first association to be organize*! here. Its incorporator* were: Or. H. E. Heintsh, Sr., George Cofield, Dr. William T. Ru*?ell, Dr. O. B. Flem* ing, John B. Cleveland, W. K. Blake, I*wis Cannon, John E. Brice and John H. Montgomery. . The?? name* recall the Spartanburg of a pa?t generation. Identified with the financial, industrial and business interests of the Spartanburg of the past were these men, each an outstanding figure in local affairs. ' For many years the Mechanic* was the only building and loan association here, but in more recent " ?#? the movement gradually expanded until the city now ha* seven, each successfully conducted and liberally patronized by both those who build thejr homes and those who invest inthe stock. Spartanburg is a building and loan town. These institutions account to a great degree for the large number of home-owner* to be found here. This number ehould be increased materially from year to year. And through these associations the man or woman who aesires to own his or her own home can realize this wiah. Just prompt payment of monthly dues for a matter of six and bine-nail years will result in the mortgage being cancelled and the investor securing title to a house and lot. But from the investment standpoint the proposition is decidely attractive. Put your money at work in one of these associations, and within six and a half years you realize, net and tax free, a profit of around 9 per cent on your deposits. Where can you beat that percentage, taking into consideration the element of .safety and the economy and efficiency with which these association* are conducted locally?"-?Spartanbutg Jouirnal.
