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.

VAMJKH HIM HOME PAPER

President Imu?m Order* That He
Muht He First To Read It.
From "The Home Paper and Community
Progress."
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. .? '
Upon the arrival of Ahe White
House mail, therefore, wis small
community newspaper from a typical
village of rural America receives the
homage due a ruler's favorite, . is
regularly given, even as second-class
mail, the right-of-way over communication^
of state?cablegrams, telegrams,
registered mail, air mail,
special delivery letters.
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, ..

Every column is just plumb crammed?
Well, if there ain't my name, I'll be
d?d!
That there editor fellow in town,
His Old Home Paper is winnin' renown.
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.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS
Leading United State* Industrie*
Have Pound No Substitute.
' . ' -Louisville,
Ky.,~? 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."

today?Mr. John B. Cleveland.
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
