After careful study of the Ford car horns, Seth Abraham says he is not sure but he thinks a flivver’s voice changes between th fifteenth and seventeenth year. _ , Tuninj in on thought waves, the same as on radio waves, is possible, says a French scientist. Well, here’s to the professor and American wives. May they never meet. Your Jeb. John D. Rockerfeller last week celebrated the seventy-#econd anni versary of the day on which he got his first job. He was sixteen years old and is now eighty-eight. Young gentlemen will observe that Mr. Rockefeller took that first job seri ously and worked hard a't It, although for their dirigible flight over the North Pole. Nobile says; "Mussolini Mr. Rockefeller stHI has the first dol lar he ever earned should remember the ehrsfetp, Italy deeerves the creJ- that he also has the first HUNDRED MILLION dollars he ever earned— which is no laughing matter—and the second, third and fourth hundred million. Also Mr. Rockefeller,, since he took that small job, in 1856, has given 9way to sclertoe, charity and educa tion, more than five hundred million dollars. It pays, apparently, to take your job, big or little, seriously. Eventually. 1 Sooner or later, of course, the United States will have three distinct arms for national defense, an Air Department taking its place with that of Army and Navy. There will be a- Secretary of equal ranking, with place in the President’s cabinet—and unless the trend of the times is entirely mis leading, the Air Department will rank of first importance. «j Old ideas die slowly. .Power gives up its throne ungraciously.* It has al ways been tbps. Great minds have usually been persecuted and punished for daring to try to change the order of things—even for distinct advance- 4 ment of mankind. Former Colonel William E. Mitchell of the U. S. Army Air Division dared some two or three years ago to tell us what we needed in the air to keep abreast other nationsf. >He advocated an Air Department under -its own head and detached from Army and N a vy—to the extent that those de partments have always been separat ed. It was not long until he found himself back in private life." The American Legion in its Paris contention, just closed, has gone on record for an Air Department—as a new and separate uujt of defense. Of course it will not come soon because Washington does not operate that way. But eventually—. Does the reader of these lines know of B man better qualified to head this department than William E. Mitchell? The nation owes it to him. Soon Now. Amundsen and Nobile continue their quarrel as to which deserves credit Farrell O’Gorman J. M.

What interests Americans is that while Amundsen and Nobile, who had a long start, were getting ready, Commander Byrd, a young American, jumped into his airplane and flew over and around the North Pole twice, the first man that ever tud that. Commander B|yrd, who speaks about flying with aufyority, says the 4 real plane eventually will be. a liner with ten motors, going 500 miles an hour, able to fly five days without stopping. Such a ship could cross the ocean in six hours, fly around the world in two days. Millions now living will see that machine and greater chines.

Trenton, Oct. 4.—When the South Carolina Xsparagus Growers’ Asso ciation meets here on Thursday, Octo ber 13, it will mark the annual gather ing of the most successful get-togeth er scheme ever undertaken'by farmers in this locality^ From seven counties they have leagued themselves togeth er to market a crop that is highly perishable, finds n fairly steady mar ket, and which has made the farmers of this section less dependent on the bugaboo of the southern farmer — cotton. . ■ ;'. * 1 This year's report, which will be given to the members at their annual meeting, will show the most successful year in the history of the association. L. E. Eidson, manager of the asso ciation, finds from his records that 80 per cent of the asparagus grown in South Carolina was shipped through the association, that the association members averaged higher prices than those who shipped by themselves, and that general satisfaction was express ed by the members at the way the association handled their goods. Pioneer “Grass” Grower. In twelve years the association has shown remarkable growth. Back in 1915, farmers had been experimenting in asparagus for some years. In fact, more than 20 years ago, B. J. Day, to the astonishment of his neighbors, undertook to grow the stuff—locally called grass—on a commercial scale. Hitheito, it had been considered a gar den plant, and in some <^ses a nuis ance. These few farmers, pioneered by Mr. Day had been having difficul- past patronage, and again solicit their shipments with the fol lowing^ statement: _ . We offer^ouY patrons long experience, service, and safety, in stead of cut rktes to influence shipments. With us the small ship per, (white or colored) gets the* same, treatment as the larger . one, and at the same price. We have but one rate for all. We are prepared to make hh er al advances oh all ’totton con signed, either to be sold on arrival or to be held for higher prices. Cotton stored with us is independent. We give no bank a ware house receipt, as we never pledge our - cUstpmers’ cotton ..to finance our business. t. . / . , • 11 . We are commission merchants only, and do not buy cotton, therefore ,, have no cotton of our own to offer in competition with that of our patrons when making sales.

They would ship it, and sometimes get what they wanted, and other times had to fork over express money. So 52 of them got together and organized the South Carolina Asparagus Associa tion. They began shipping under the brand “Dixie" grass, and undertook to give a good grade of "grass.” The association during its first year handl ed 150,000 worth of business. Every one was pleased with results, how ever, there began an active campaign to enlist co-operation. Today, this little compact group, representing more than 500 members, stands as a business which has grown almost to 20-fold. Last year busintss to the amount of $750,000 was satis- ‘' factorily handled. The right spot in the wfiole matter ^ the .tjQfgtli individual member was assessed- less- than three cents a crate for the asso- tciation ,giad£s the grass, attends to the marketing, directs it to the point, and contracts with a commission mer chant at the place of sale -to handle it. It is entirely controlled from the in side, and every one in the association knows everyone else. The only salar ied official in the whole force is the general manager, who carries the whole burden of looking after the business, which in the next season is expected to run more than $1,000,000. For the get-together meeting, a barbecue has Jbeen-arranged at which more than 1,000 guests of the associa tion are expected to fill this little town to overflowing. Dr. W. W. Long, director of extension work at Clem- son College will deliver the principal addi^ss. Other talks will be deliver ed by Rev. B. F. Allen, pastor of the First Baptist Churca of Johnston, arid of the Ebernezer Church here, and by fleorge W.

A barbecue dinner will be spread beneath the trees at Salter’s pond, famous gathering place near here. The feed will be followed by the meeting of the directors. Chief Shipping Point. M. C.
