OCTOBER 21. 1937 One Solution. Because of a controversy with a labor union, the Ford Motor Corn- announced last week that it close its assembly plant in City, Mo. Final closing: the plant means the loss of jobs ta 3,000 employes and the loss to Kansas City of a three million-dol- tar payroll. That’s one solution of the dif- fiealties that have been developing tn labor and capital for the several years. What manu facturers term unreasonable de mands on the part of labor, backed by costly strikes, cannot but have an adverse effect upon capital and na doubt other industrialists will bo tempted to follow Henry Ford’s csnmp e unless there be an early rith honor” between the warring camps.

Danhartaa. Oct. 19 -Tto R*v J. M. Flowers tendered hto teaig- naton aa past or «f the Duabsrton Baptist Church Sunday. He am plified his move by saying: "It is for tho good of the fold." He has been here for two yearn. The Dunbarton. Lowor Throe Runs and Meyer’s Mill Churches are included in his pastorate. The Rev. Mr. Flowers did not announce his fu ture plans. H. H. King, P. J. Hiers and F. H. Dicks motored to EUenton Tuesday evening to attend the regular meet ing of the Masonic order. An oyster supper was served during the social hour. . FVVnds of ‘'Butter” Rountree will learn with regret that he had the misfortune of losing two joints of the index finger on his right hand at a saw mill near here this week. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Shumpert and Mrs. Silas Rountree were visitors in Barnwell Tuesday evening. The friends of Miss Doris Tis dale are glad to know that she is improving and has been moved from the hospital to her home. She was accompanied home by Mr. and Mrs. Russell Tisdale and baby, who spent several duys here before returning to Augusta.

A fish supper and social hour were enjoyed at Rountree’s pond Port LAB TREND TO PHONOGRAPH RECORDS Them is a current surge of popu larity to recorded musk for phono graphs. When Mr. and Mrs. Amer ica like anything they really like it—and want lots of it To this is atthbtled the growing rage for musical records; a person hears a new piece on the radio, or at a theatre end immediately has a burning desire to hear the tune over and over again. Unable to hear the particular piece on the air except when it is played in the course of some program, Mr. and Mrs. America insist on having all they want of what they want—so it’s their favorite music on phono graph records that they go for. They play their own encores and they love it To meet this growing demand, Gerrald’s 5 and 10 Cent Store has stocked “Bluebird” records, which are priced at only 35 cents each or three for $1.00. See advertisement elsewhere in this issue of The Peo ple-Sentinel. The New Post Office. G.

The People-Sentinel endorses this latest effort of the South eastern States governors in try ing to get something better than Wall. Miss Mane Dicks and Billy Bolt Owens won in the anuteur show.

They slow up harvest and cause growers an annual loss amounting to millions of dollars. Even with excessive rainfall, in many sections this year rust dam age has been as severe as it was during the dry weather last yaar. Thare is only ona known way to control cotton rust—USE MORE POTASH. In addition to con trolling rust, potash produces larger yields, and heavier seed and bolls. It makes more lint per seed, better grade, longer staple, stronger fibers, and a higher percentage of normal fibers .... Plan now to produce a crop next year that will grow normally to maturity. It can be done by using a fertilizer containing 6 to 10% potash and a nitrogen-potash top-dresser if necessary. Consult your county agent or experiment station about the fertility of your soil. See your fertilizer dealer about the right amounts of potash in your cotton fertilizer. Write us for further infor mation and literature. AMERICAN POTASH INSTITUTE* INC.
