But 1 visualize something that holds a more astounding spectacle In many reopeota than any ot these. it i? the onrush of our business life. Our economic progress plunges ahead at a rate unheard of In the history of the nations of the world and every industrial and financial leader ts; daily brought face to face with new and perplexing , problems requiring the highest courage and Intelligence for their solution. * Ninety billions a year, they tell us, this country Is 'now producing in new wealth. The rate of Increase is even more staggering than the amount. It is difficult to say where It may lead us In even ten or fifteen years. We are moving exceptionally fast. Our economic and Industrial structure is placing before us problems of greater and greater magnitude. Few men can see far ahead. Few are In complete control, for this Is a changing world, as even the most Inexperienced business man will readily testify. Our methods of adjusting ourselves rapidly to economic changes and of cooperating are far from perfect. What an opportunity the leadership of five, ten or fifteen years from now presents! What an adventure it will be! What responsibilities it will lay upon the broadest shoulders that may be found! This Is the challenge to leadership as I see it. In the hands of* the young men must rest the responsibility for this leadership. Boys Who Reached the Pinnacles Business is full of the romance of youngsters whose chief characteristic was working hard and keeping at it. There Was a green farmer boy who decided he would rather stand behind a counter than follow a?plow. He seemed so obviously lacking in sales ability that for a time no merchant would hire him. He failed in his first position, and in his second his salary was reduced. He even agreed that he was a misfit?but he stuck. Out of his first five stores, i believe, three failed. But he persisted and worked hard. And that boy, Frank W. Woolworth, became the greatest retail merchant In the world with a store in every city of eight thousand or more population in this ,ountry. . There was another lad who clerked In a grocery store sixteen hours a day and studied mathpviatics in his odd moments. He became interested in the doings of the steel plant whose employees traded at this store. He began to study steel and sought a position in the plant. He carried a surveyor's chain and drove stakes. At night he studied mathematics and engineering. He did not despair. He could not he diverted. He kept the pressure on for seven years. And that hoy, Charles Schwab, mastered the iron industry and became one of the country's great industrial leaders. There was a lad who sold papers on a train. When he grew up, several million men and a score of billions of dollars of capital were given profitable employment through his Inventions. Even la middle life, Thomas Edison continued to work twenty hours a day, If necessary to achieve his purpose. Leadership is not play. Leadership offers countless positions of varying opportunity, of which the highest pinnacles will mean almost unbearable responsibility in the new era. There will be men with the fire and Iron to qualify even for these places. Such men mnst have had the very finest preparation awd the most grueling I tests, Their reward will be the attainment of these highest pinnacles of a^ilevement, and the rendering of an Immeasurable service to their times. MAIL BOX THEFTS * AID CHECK FORGERS American Bankers Association in Nationwide Warning Exposes Methods and (fives Rules to Combat Them. . NEW YORK.?Active operations In many cities of mall box thieves, who open hank communications to customera, containing details of their accounts and cancelled checks showing their banking signatures, and toe this material In perpetrating check forgeries, have led the American Bankers Association to issue a nation-wide warning to Its members with i^njtructkras for combating this form of crime. The warning as sent out by James E. Baum In charge; of the associate's Protective Department saye: "Heavy losses are being sustained through cancelled vouchers and statements stolon from the mall boxes of , Y ' * - - V. A- : - A - - bank depositors If spartmsnt and ofHce buildings, thus divulging the da* posltors' balances and supplying modale for forged checks. As a step to put customers on guard against these -methods, banks are urged to instruct every depositor to whom they mall statements of deposit accounts on the last business day of each month to notify them promptly if such statement are not received by the cloae of the neat day. "Also bankB should educate depositors to safeguard blank checks and cancelled Touchers as they would money. Such paper stolen by forgers soon puts real money In their hands. If all blank checks and cancelled vouchers were securely kept In safea instead of filling cabinets or desks, the check crooks would be denied their chief block In trade, namely, genuine blank checks and signature#. Warnings to depositors against leaving blank or cancelled checks accessible to sneak thieves or burglars should be sent out at once, "Estimates broadcast by surely companies indicate that individuals, merchants, hotels and others outside of banking are shouldering more than 99 per cent of the total amount of forgery* losses. The bulk of forgery loss on checks is sustained by those who are willing to risk accepting them without reliable proof of Identity'or title of the presenter, "Years ago the Protective Department of the American Bankers Association adopted the slogan, 'Strangers are not always crooks, but crooks are usually strangers.' If those outside of banking could be prevailed upon to observe this rule and think about It when considering accepting a check for their merchandise or services, for which they are also asked to give a substantial sum in cash in change, one of the biggest aids to the forgery business would be denied the crooks." SCRUB BULL IS HALED TD COURT (T- tl Placed on Tnial for Hindering Development and Prosperity of Dairy Industry. ? Indicted for robbery, larceny, and A few other such charges, Scrub Bull went on trial for his life at Laurel, Mississippi, recently. It seems that for some "time-people had suspicions that Mr. Bull was hindering the right and lawful development of the dairy industry, thereby "maliciously and wilfully lowering production and decreasing profits In the dairy business,** says the Bulletin of the American Bankers Association Agricultural Commission in commenting on tha case. This, It says, was the first trial of its kind ever held in that section and was attended by several hundred people. The Jury, representing every vocation within the boundaries of tha Laurel trade territory, rendered a unanimous verdict of "guilty." Tha death sentence was pronounced, "but during the night, before the sentence could be carried out, friends of the couvidt secretly spirited him away and he has not been seen since." The arraignment came during the Milk Products Show sponsored by the banks of Laurel. People attending the show had the opportunity of also attending the bull's "trial" and went away firmly convinced of the seriousness of lax and out-of-date methods In the pursuit! of dairying. The purposes of both the Milk Products Show and the trial were threefold, namely: to develop public aentiment'for mora b and better Jerseys; to foster a mora ' cooperative spirit for dairying ahd livestock growing, gnd to promote tick eradication. . The banks of Laurel entered Into si cooperative arrangement in their efforts for fostering agricultural development and successful farming in tha community, offering $2,165 as premiums to the outstanding farm worker# throughout the territory during 1929. , An instructive booklet has been la. sued, showing the agricultural activity . of the banks, together with announcements of contests for farmers, exhibit# In the bank lobbies and prizes offered.

We quote from Clemson College Weekly Ne,\/$ the following, which we believe timely and of much importance to our farmers: A*.' WINTER GRAZING CROPS BOON FOR DAIRY COWS. Clemson College, Sept. 23.?Excellent results have been secured at Clemson College by planting a mixture of rye, oats, and barley as winter grazing for dairy cows, reports Prof. J. P. LaMa&ter, chief of the division, who says that small herds of dairy cattle are especially suitable for using these crops to promote the milk yield. Heavy seeding has beep found to be desirable when the crops are in. tended for grazing purposes. One bushel of rye, one bushel of oats, and one bushel of barley per acre is, of course, very heavy seeding, but gives excellent results for this purpose. Prof. LaMaster advises seeding at oocb. In the Piedmont section cows must be kept off %hese grazing crops when the land is wet. However, in the Coastal Plains and Sand Hills sections very little attention needs be paid to the condition of the land. The most important reasons why many, farmers do not get satisfactory Results from Winter grazing crops"are: First, they fail to plant early enough in the fall to permit a growth sufficient for grazing to begin in November and early December and thus limit their use to early spring grazing; second, they fail to plant these crops on good rich land or properly fertilize them. These winter grazing crops are worth more than their real feed value because they stimulate the appetite and help to ke^p the cows in good physical condition during a period . when usually only dry feed is used. esfcssnfc:: -i - ?- *- ? * " ' v-> -r* WINTER LEGUMES ARE DROUGHT INSURANCE Clemson College, Sept. 23.?The yield of corn in South Carolina is largely dependent upon the amount of moisture available-during the time when the grain is being produced, says T. S. Buie, head of the agronomy division. While a farmer has no control over the aihount of fain irfhich will fall during any given period, he does have considerable control over the amOunt retained for the use of the growing crop. Increased organic matter content of the soil means better waterholding capacity, therefore legume crops for soil improvement may be considered as drought insurance. This is clearly indicated in county agent S. M. Byars' August report for Anderson county. "All corn is badly damaged by the drought and indications are that our corn crop will be cut fully 50 per cent," says Mr. Byars.- "The value of cover crops preceding com is outstanding. The corn demonstration with W. W. Beaty, where a good crop of vetch was turned under preceding the com, has shown little effects of the drought. No fertilizer at all was used on the com, yet it will make fully four times as much as that on the adjoining land where a complete fertilizer and side dressing were _ used." The planting of winter legumes on land to be devotdd to corn in 1030 is to be encouraged. The First National Bank Of Camden, South Carolina _ _V . ... . .7*. ... .. .
