L WWMMHBMWMWMgBfHffBfBHMBP'BtT1 Henry Ford Believes Better Times Ahead New York, Fob. 1.?The New York Times published today lender a Detroit dateline a copyrighted interview with Henry Ford in which the famous automobile manufacturer declared that these ate not bad times but good ones, and that we are on the threshold of an inconceivably bright future. While the Ford plants still lay idle because of the strike in the ltriggs Company's factories, Ford gave a leisurely interview at Detroit Oto The Times representative, Harold N. Denny. He said that it is the development of machines which will bring the bright new era and he smilingly dismissed technocracy. "Technocracy seems, to mo misnamed," he said. "I see little evidence of technical experience in it. Its diagnosis of present conditions is partly correct, but when it assumes that present conditions are permanent, when it forgets the fluid and progressive elements in life, it simply goes on the rocks. "Life has a funny way of pushing out when wo least expect it. It breaks up^all our diagrams. All that has happened now, as I see it, is that life has broken out. Wc had thought it nicely stabilised in certain financial and industrial patterns. People say something has broken down. I say that life has simply broken out. It always does. "There will never be a technocracy in the sense of a ruling mechanical oligarchy, because life will not stand for it." An almost boyish smile lighted Ford's face as he said: "The machine age is barely started now. In the real machine age which is to come the dirt and ugliness and confusion and noiso and disregard of human rights which are all about us today will be done away with." This is only the ox cart stage of the machine age. I wish I might live to see the real thing when it coraes." Although he declared no one knows just when industry will pick up, he said: "This period that we are going through right now is the recovery. The bad times were back in 1929 and before. That was the real panic? that so-called prosperous period. Business, at bottonri, never was so bad as it was in what we called boom times. The managers were off the job. People weren't really working or really thinking. Now they are. We are seeing now the passing of an old era and the beginning of a new one better than anything the world has known before." vv / Meeting of Legion Auxiliary The regular monthly meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary was held in the Legion Hall on the first Friday in February, 1933.

' " >, l M Repair and Overhaul Farming Implements . ... ?.? Clemson College, Feb. 6.?That farmers take pains to overhaul and repair their old farm implements and make them serve the purpose in more economic production of crops is suggested by extension fai^p management and engineering specialists. The prevailing differential between the, price of farm products and the price | of farm implements f? too great, they, advise, to justify purchase of new J machinery, except where it becomes a real necessity. Explaining the present status of farm, machinery prices, O. M. Clark, extension economist, says: "The wholesale price of farm machinery declined about 14 per cent from September, 1929, to September,) 1932. Hut in December, 1932, the, ! wholesale price of most 'farm implc- * ments was still ab^ve the pre-war; : price. There has been some reduc ; tion in the retail price of farm mar- j j chincry during this time, thought I somewhat less than the change in the : wholesale price, in September, 1932,1 j the index of retail prices of farm ma- , , chinery was 149 as against 151 in; September, 1931, an3Tl02 in September, 1929. "No material changes in the whole- j sale prices of farm machinery were, i announced last fall. However, since J 1 Qhristmas at least one manufacturer j has announced a general reduction in wholesale prices of farm implements. "In 1932 some manufacturers sold j machinery upon the condition that I certain discounts would be. made in j the price if the prices of particular j farm commodities were not above certain figures. Whether n similar pro- , ! position will be made this year is not j now known." Seed Loans Before The First of March ? | Washington, Feb. 6.?The depart-) meht of agriculture announced today. that disbursements of money to ers under the $90,000,000 crop^-pTa-] duction loan bill signed 'Saturday by j President Hoover will begin before | March 1. Secretary Hyde expects to approve regulations to govern the loans before the end af this week and instructions will then be issued for executives in the regional offices ai=Dallas, St. Louis, Memphis, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Washington. A reduction of the maximum loans to individual farmers from $400 as was allowed in 1032 to $300 this year is being considered because of the increase in applications expected. The bill authorizing the secretary to require acreage reduction up to 30 per cent as a loan condition and the department expects to require the full reduction except in the case of minor acreages. An increase of about a third in the number of loans over last year is looked for. The department is having 30 per. cent more application forms printed than were used in 1932 when $64,000,000 was disbursed. Requests for changes in legislation in some states to muke farmers within their borders eligible for loans are being made by the department through members of congress. The law requires that the loan shall be the first lien on the crop produced this year. <> In the case of Pennsylvania, a law was enacted a year ago effective for one year legalizing crop mortgages. A similar law is considered necessary to cover loans this year. Some changes in Connecticut laws also are believed necessary. Whether the department shall make loans to farmers who have not repaid their borrowings under similar loan acts in past years has not yet been decided. Car Hurts Four , In Barber Shop; I Charleston, Feb. 1.?Two barbers, i ' a customer and a shoe shine boy w^re slightly injured today when the autfc^ mobile of Mrs. William H.

No true disciple can sneer at the church for which Christ shed his precious blood. lie bids us speed its progress among men. In Matthew 16:18 wo find that Christ built it and j entrusts great power to it. Wo should revere her great mission and commission and realize her constant fight against Satnn?who schemes to minimize her might and ridicules her rights. We should be proud of our church and ^encourage others to attend. ' If the good society, songs, supplica^ons and sermons help you, pass the good word on. i Tho greatest asset to any place is a good wide-awake church. The com- j munity owes a great debt to it.
