onBMBnMBIVVPVHMBanManiBRnpMiMi Heavy losses Felt From Forest Fires IWmiI forest fire* in Kershaw county have cost a very large sum of money? $<">0,000 would be a very conservative estimate of the damage done. Thin wanton destruction of our origirot.! ^?-a!th i* most deplorable It \* High time the thinking people of Kershaw county became active and look steps to stop this practice which j !. annually .sapping a large part of the life blood of the county. These fiie- ure costing the future gcnerat\on* huge sums and helping to (dace South Carolina further down the list ,i, roll of States instead of helping her to take her proper place among the leading States of the nation. The only way to stop this waiting of our natural wealth is by public opinion which can be molded by proper activity of our leading and influential people. Timber kept South Carolina living years ago when we were in a very bad fix?and can help us a great deal now if only the timber is allowed tp grow. Fires not only kill thev<MMB pine seedlings but also "hardens aSf the larger trees and retards their growth. An acre of pines will normally increase in value $4.00 per acre per year if fire is kept out. Thousands of our acres in Kershaw county are not a/fording an income of $-1.00 j>er acre. Hut taxes must he paid just the same, so it is readily obvious that some of our lands are liabilities rather than asset#. Some people think that burning the woods will kill the boll weevils. It may kill a few but it will not kill a sufficient number to do much good. Weevils are under bark high up on trees where the fire does not reach. Fires also kill game and birds. It also ki)ls grass seeds and clover seeds. Burning broom sedge causes tin* sedge to produce greater root systems for next year and it will come up thicker than ever before. If some bandit should steal $60,000 from the county's vault the whole citizenry would turn out to help. Now is a time when the citizens of Kershaw county can help. Recently the writer counted five fires between Bethune and Cjamden; three between Liberty Hill and Camden; two between Pine Grove and Camden and eleven between Camden and Sumter, o Six of these wert^in Sumter county. ? A forestry and fire prevention or ionization is to be set up in Kershaw county which will consist of local people. The stffccess or failure of this will depend on the interest taken by the people. All who are interested will please write to Henry I). Green, County Agent, Camden, S. C. Farmers* Seed l,oan* Last Saturday the County Central Committee on the Seed f>oan matter, -a together with Mr. K. M. Kennedy and County Agent Green, interviewed officials of the Seed Loan office in Columbia for about two hours in the interest of Kershaw county farmer's. The Columbia office had not received authorization to start dispersing loans, however, this will probably be done in the next several days. In the meantime the various committees over the county will not be able to do anything. As soonaiflH papers are received announce**? will be made through the coZ9 papera^nd the committees wlty}?

' '.iii r i?i] -iiriitrrrTT.-'i 1 T 1 r t t i * Think of Your ? ? /nv. * 'j f> Automobile in Terms % of Tomorrow * Ultimate cost is as important as first cost in the purchase of an automobile WHEN you purchase an automobile you are making an investment of a considerable amount of money. It is essential, therefore, that you give careful thought to the best selection and know what you are getting for your automobile dollars. The first cost is important because it may mean an immediate, satisfactory saving. Of ecpial importance is the ultimate cost after thousands of miles of service. This ultimate cost is the true measure of automobile value. The first cost of the new Ford is unusually low not only because of economies in manufacturing, but because the same principles that inspire these savings are extended to every other step that means greater service to the public. It is easy to see that economies in production would be of little value if they were sacrificed later through high charges for distribution, selling, financing and accessories. 1 he Ford dealer, therefore, does business on the same low-profit margin as the Ford Motor Company. His discount or commission is twenty-five to fifty per cent lower than that of any other automobile dealer, ion gain because he makes a small profit 011 many sale-* instead of a large profit on fewer sales. The difference :u selling cost, combined with the low charges for financing and accessories, amounts to at least $50 to $75 on each car. This is as important as economies in production in keeping down the price you pay for the new Ford. . The low ultimate cost of the new Ford is the result of sound design, quality of material and unusual care in manufacturing. Friction and wear are reduced by the accuracy with which each part is ma d&nd assembled* These factors combine to decrease the cost of operation and add months and years to the useful life of the car. The good performance and low yearly depreciation of the new Ford are indicative of the enduring quality built into it at the factory. Serv ice charges are on the same fair, economical basis as the making and selling of th?ear spid replacement parts are always available at low prices through all Ford dealers. In two, three or five years, depending on how much you drive, the saving in operating and maintaining a new Ford will amount to even more than the saving on the first cost. Think in terms of tomorrow, therefore, when you purchase an automobile. For tomorrow will reveal its true worth.
