We don’t see any sense in “scrap ping” battleships if they are to be sold to Henry Ford to be made into “flivvers.” It is estimated that railroad rate* will be fifteen per cent, lower after January 1st, and we arp won dering in what manner the “hutiv will be passed” to prevent the long suffering consumer from benefltting thereby. Saturday’s issue of the daily papers contained a remarkablbe dispatch from Chicago to the effect that the 26,000 employes of Armour A Co., through their plant governing com mittee, agreed with officials of the packing house that a wage reduction is necessary and fixed its amount.” It is remarkable because of the con trast presented by the recent threat of the railroad brotherhoods to 3trike against a proposed reduction in wages, and is a rainbow of premise that labor is gradually coming to ita senses. The following day the em ployes of other big packing plants took similar action. It is a self-evident truth that cap ital is as necessary to labor as labor is to capital. The two go hand in hand, and unless capital can get a reasonable return, labor is thrown out of a job. During times like *he present, each should be willing to bear ita part of the burden. Neither should ever be allowed to grab all of the profits. And now with low prices for raw products, coupled with a reduction in wages'!'the public has a right to ex pect lower prices for the produces of tbc packers. If Henry Ford buys the bat‘.!e- ships, a “flivver" of the future will probably be known as a "converted battle cruiser." STICK TO YOUR BANKS. ..

The People’s editorial of two we^b* ago, headed “Pay or Renew You. Note^" aeem* to have struck n rc- sponaivc chord in this section, s< it has been reproduced or comir*n»ed on by several papers in neighboring towna. Speaking editorially The \\ 1- liaton Way has the following to nay: W’e heartily agree with our es teemed contemporary, The Barnwell People, and think that this ia ro time for people to “ride” the banks. They have done and are continuin’ to do their part nobly. It is the duty, of all who have notes at banks—and this means almost every one—to p-jy these in full, in part or at least to pay the interest and make a new note when this is the best they can d<\ A past due note is a liability; a new noU i* often of much asanunce to. a bank: * Last week and this week the three Barnwell County papers carried ad vertisements calculated to do muon towards helping our farmers adjust themselves to these critical timer. This was made possible through the cooperation of the banks of the county. From reliable information, we learn that the banking resources of Barn well County are unimpaired, and we are especially pround of the finan cial condition of the Wjlliaton bank-;. We suggest to our readers that they look upon the banks us* their best friends and cheerfully abide bv their rules, which are most reason able. Ford may “convert” battleships into jitneys, but the “flivver” has al ready converted many sinners by shaking the h—1 out of ’em. Augusta Lumber Company, Augusta, Georgia.

Everybody knows what this melon is, but few people know the difference it makes as to where the seed are grown. Colorado grown seed makes a more pro lific yield and a far more uniform melon. Matures 10 to 1-6 days earlier than native grdwn seed. This is what proved in Flor ida and Georgia. This is the first I have been able to get. Could not get any* last , year. I have now a limited amount at $1.50 per pound. , EXCEL MELONS. J saved no Excel Melon Seed, but am in position to order from wholesale grow ers, both South and West, and believe that l can get as good seed as can be bought. 'I have none to offer, but will take orders to secure when requested. CLECKLEY SWEET. The only melon for home use. Only have a few of these seed, which I am of fering at $2.00 per pouno. WONDER WATERMELON. Only a few of these seen of my own saving from melons 50 to 75 pounds. ’(Tus melon is just the shape' of the old Cob Gem or - Eden Melon with a rattlesnake colored rind. It is a heavier yielder, a fine ^ shipper, but must not be shipped before it is ripe enougn. Must be fully rife when shipped or else does not carry well.’ Price $2.00 per pound. EDEN GEM ROCKY FORD CANTA LOUPE. The best and most profitable solid netted cantaloupe for market purposes grown. My seed were grown at Rocky Ford, Colo., specially for C. H. Mathis. I was there during September and peisOriaTTy saW to the selection in cutting and care in drying of the same. I am just a little short on my supply. Cash with oraer, $1.25 per pound. 1/ H . ■ ■■ HONEY DEW CANTALOUPE. I hardly know how to describe this mel on. It is a perfect watermelon rind, while the. flesh is that of a real cantaloupe. It is’-very sweet and profitable as a market product when weather conditions suit the ' harvest. It is subject to spoil or gd bad with too mush rain at gathering season, but a real money-maker when climatic and other conditions are favorable. These seed are $1# per pound. EARLIEST OF ALL WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER. This variety introduced from Rocky Ford, Colo., where over 90 per cent, of the . cucumber seed planted in the United States is grown, is not only the earliest but also as well shaped and colored as any of the later sorts. Yields a much heavier crop early in the season and continues to bear as long as any. The fruit averages 7 to 8 inches long as - slicers, and square ended, very deep green in color, and hold their cofor well on the market. The flesh is crisp, white and excellent quality. This variety also “Dills” well and is a good sort to grow for pickles. As a money maker for market growers it is recom- _ mended above all others. I have a full supply to begin with, but sold out entirely last Spring. Prices less than 100 pounds, $1.00 per pound, cash with order. Special discount on sack lots. 2,060 BU. FULGHUM OATS.

The more heat detained in their cylinders, -the more power they generate. Water-jacketing space absorbs heat Buick Valve-in-Head motors h^ve about 20% less water-jacketing space than the L Head type apd arout 15% less than the T Head type. That 4s one of the reasons why Buick Valve- in-Head motors have more power. Buick Sixes 93-Srt-44 Thr— Pmm.
