President Ameri can Society for Thrift.) " Figures of . recent compilation give an idea of the vast amount of waste that exists on every hand. The National Board of Fire Under writers says our annual fire loss is approximately $425*000,000. Eighty per' cent of these fires are said to be preventable, thus making the value of property needlessly des troyed by fire, $340,000,000. Ar mour & Co., recently announced that $8,000,000,000, an amount greater than our total export trade, is lost in the United States every year through waste in distribution. Secretary Wilbur says that “we are rapidly exhausting the nation al oil reseiye through waste.” He does not give the amount of the waste involved but it necessarily runs high into the millions. An other authority says the country’s annual weed bill is estimated at $3,000,000,000 and the National Safety Council puts the cpst of accidents to the American people at $3,200,000,000 a year. An authority on crime says our national bill to thieves and other criminals is. $500,000,000 a year. One might add many billions more to the list—waste in the kitchens of our 25,000,000 homes; waste due to faulty lumbering operations; waste through unnecessary traffic congestion. It is not to be assumed that all waste can be eliminated no mat ter how well organized we may be in commerce, * industry and the home. American business is ef ficient and means of eliminating waste are being developed stantly. One element alone is very largely responsible for the prodigi ous waste in this country. This is the element of human carelessness. Education in thrift can help remedy thiS defect. Industrial leaders should bear in mind that the employee who is thrifty‘in his personal habits is quite apt to be careful in his work and through force of habit do What he can to eliminate waste. The development of greater individual thrift will mean not alone more prosperity small, and is diminishing. Credit is getting easier every where. A third more long-term bonds have been marketed this winter than last year. Bank rates are steadily declining. Saving bank deposits are increasing in the East. Life insurance companies wrote 3 per cent more business in February than one year earlier, thus justify ing the estimate of increased in vestment reserves in their hands. Building and Loan associations re port increased deposits. More farm loans *are being made, but there is a marked falling off in foreclosures and delinquencies. Instalment sales are up to last year’s and payments are being kept up. Public utilities have begun a program of new construction which will run about $400,000,000 more than 1929. Construction work, ex cept in Residential building, is much ahead of last year. Road building contracts let in January and February were 82 per cent over 1929. New building contracts in the second week of March were the highest in eight weeks, and are expected to increase as mortgage money becomes -more freely avail able. Railroads have orders out for more rails, more locomotives and almost as many new cars as last year,-and railroad payrolls for February were higher than in Feb ruary 1929. The Commitments of the railroads call for spenaing $1.40,C00,000 more in the first six months of this year than in the first half of last year. Electric rail ways are spending $44,000,000 more for the year. Shipyards are active, employing 28 per cent more men in February than in February a year ago and 10 per cent more than in November.' Telephone expenditures for the year will run $66,000,000 •, above 1929. More radio sets were sold Since New Year’s than a year ago. Electric light and power compan ies are carrying out their promise to spend $65,000,000 more this year than’'last. Iron and steel output is increasing. Automobile produc tion is proceeding at rate to build 4,600,000 cars this year, with pay rolls in the industry for February 25 per cent higher than January and 28 per cent above December. Farm implements business is about 5 per cent off. Textiles are from four to 17 per cent below normal for .the past season. Book and job printing was two per cent greater than last year and newspaper pro duction was three per cent higher in February. Those are not generalizations or guesses. They are specific facts. They are something to show to the grumbler who declares that things are getting worse instead of better. As a matter of cold de pression from which recovery’ be- pounds of butterfat, or a little more than 1120 pounds of butter in 365 days. This is an average of over five gallons of milk and more than three pounds of milk per day for a year, or nearly 100 pounds of but ter per month, which is more than any other cow of any breed in South Carolina has produced in double-letter class. The Palmetto state produced the first 1000-pound cow in Dixie, Blue Fox’s Eminent Chromo, whos great-granddaughter, Sensation’s Mikado’s Millie was the first world’s record cow in Dixie, and whose niece, Blue Fox’s Eminent Queen, was the second world’s rec ord cow in Dixie. All of these ani mals were bred and made their records in this state, and all ex cept the first were bred in Mr. Young’s herd at Timmonsville. Millie’s recent feat is a new ^tate record and gives her the added honor of being the first Jersey in this state to beat old Chromo’s long-standing record. Last year Young’s, herd added three other state championships for butterfat production. Mr. Young is a practical dairy man and a scientific breeder- of purebred dairy cattle, and receives a good income from the sale of high—record stock in addition to the sale of dairy products. In the last year or two he has sold sever al‘animals for over $1,000 each, and he is now selling whole milk in Florence through the Piggly Wigg ly Stores. He uses modern methods and equipment and has recently built a modern barn and a new milk house. Mr. Young is also a successful cotton farmer and has had ex cellent, results as a breeder of pedi greed cotton seed. X . Garden Time V Providing for Patty By H.

TIM GRANGER had more silver dnl- lars than he knew what to do with, a ranch that numbered hundreds of acres and the finest lot of short horns in Selby county. But he had only one daughter and he valued her more than all the rest, of his possessions. He placed her worth so high, in I fact, that he could not imagine any | man good enough to be her husband. Yet, paradoxically, he had brought himself to believe she ought to marry. : Unfortunately, he could not live for- i ever and he was old-fashioned enough to think that a woman was better : off in this vale of tears and fortune hunters with a decent man at her' side. His daughter would be one of , the wealthiest girls In the country i some day and a shining target for un scrupulous suitors. A slight touch of indigestion threw him into a panic and brought him to a sudden weird determination. Calling Patty one morhing, he drew her to him tenderly. “Pat,” he said. “I’m off.to Chicago on one of my semi annual jaunts to talk matters over with the cattle men. Be a good girl while I’m gone and if I wire any in structions, no matter what they are, obey them to the letter! Patty, flinging her arms about his neck in a farewell hug, paid.no atten tion to his somewhat unusual admoni tion, but she recalled it several days later when a telegram was telephoned to her from Blue Butte, the town near est the ranch. “Am sending down a guest. See that he is made comfortable but* snub him at every opportunity. . Dad.” “Kill a • couple of fatted calves. Aunt Judy,” she tojd the housekeeper who had been almost a mother to the girl since wer own mother’s death. “Dad is sending us a visitor.” arrived in due time on the train and seemed to be a pleasant enough young man with level-gray eyes and a firm chin. Patty, bound by promise to obey her father, left most of the entertaining to Aunt Judy but she couldn’t for the life of her see what there was ’about the young man that required snubbing. Covertly she watched for some sign of smugness or overdevel oped superiority complex that would make it seem reasonable for her fa ther to ask her to run counter to the rules of ranch hospitality. Incidentally, she was wildly curious %s to the reason for the young man’s visit. She wondered if she had found a clew when he said quietly after din ner, “Your father said you would be good enough to show me over the en tire ranch, but 1 hate to trouble ..you and wonder if I couldn’t just go over It by myself.” Even as she assured him that she would be quite willing to follow her father's suggestion, she was smitten with a horrible suspicion.’ Was.it pos sible he was thinking of selling the dear old ranch ? Was this young man. Derek Trevors, by name, a potential purchaser?. It took more than one ride to give the young man a proper idea of the. ( Bar Cross M and each mile that was covered made it harder. for Patty to be anything but exceedingly amiable toward him. He-was not., she became convinced, thinking of buying. In fact, lie confided to her Ms great satisfac tion at being recently accepted as a junior partner in his father's Chicago book-publishing firm. C Then came the morning whpn, with out any previous hint of«’(ich a thing, she found young Trevors with his, suitcase beside Mm. ‘Tve found Jf, must leave,” he said rather abruptly. “I’ve telephoned for a car and—” Suddenly, he crushed her,to him. then released her instantly. “Forgive, me,” lie said contritely, “but—” v At that moment, the Blue Butte bus- rattled noisily up the gravel drive and out from its mammoth depths crawled Patty’s father. The nex't minute she was hiding her blushing face on ids shoulder while he gazed at Derek in surprise'. “Where you headed for with that tiling?” With Ids free hand he indicated Derek's bag. Derek looked tenderly at Patty. “I’m sorry, sir. Because you were a friend of dad’s I agreed to do this j favor for you. To come down and. i without mentioning It to your dnugh- J ter, see if—may I go on?” ; ' At the nod of the other man, he , continued. “To see if this would be si good place to start a writers’ colony. ! although why ou earth anybody should want to—But, in spite of your telling ! me your daugliter was secretly en- > gaged to a eowpuncher in Cheyenne—” , “Daddy, you didn’t!” The explosion came from the elder man’s shoulder. “1 proceeded to fall in love with ; her. So there is nothing for me to do i but leave.” It seemed to Jim Granger as If ..n soft voice whispered in his ear, “Make , him stay, daddy.” At any rate, still j hugging Patty, he threw Ids other | arm around Derek’s shoulder and drew them both towards the dining room. “Let’s talk it over,” he said, “after a good meal. I am sure one hungry man. And—” but this he added to himseif. “a darn clever one.” L ■ ■ — Students Construct Planes An ■ m as flying school requires | s •: mv:-o to construct and fly an nlr- plane.
