B ECAUSE the automobile is such an im portant factor in the lives and pros perity of so many people, the purpose of the Ford Motor Company is something more than the mere manufacture of a motor car. Therfe is no service in simply setting up a machine or a plant and letting it turn out goods. The service extends into every detail of the business — design, production, the wages paid and the sell ing price. All are a part of the plan. The Ford Motor Company looks upon itself as charged with making an auto mobile that will meet the needs of millions of people and to provide it at a low price. That is its mission. That is its duty and its obligation to the public. The search for better ways of doing things is never-ending. There is cease less, untiring effort to find new methods and new machines that will save steps and time in manufacturing. The Ford plants are, in reality, a great mechanical uni versity, dedicated to the advancement of industry. Many manufacturers come to see and share the progress made. The greatest progress comes by never standing still. Today’s methods, however successful, can never be taken as wholly right. They represent simply the best efforts of the moment. To morrow must bring an improve ment in the methods of the day before. Hard work usually finds the way. Once it was thought impossible to cast gray iron by the endless chain method. All precedent was against it and every previous experiment had failed. But fair prices to the public demanded that waste ful methods be eliminated. Finally the way was found. Abetter way of making axle shafts saved thirty-six million dollars in four years. A new method of cutting crankcases re duced the cost by $500,000 a year. The perfection of a new machine saved a similar amount on such a little thing as one bolt. Then electric welding was de veloped to make many bolts unnecessary and to increase structural strength. Just a little while ago, an endless chain conveyor almost four miles long was in stalled at the Rouge plant. This conveyor has a daily capacity of 300,000 parts weighing more than 2,000,000 pounds. By substituting the tirejbess, unvarying machine for tasks formerly done by hand, it has made the day’s work easier for thousands of workers and saved time and money in the manufacture of the car. All of these things are done in the interest of the public —so that the benefits of reliable, economical transportation may be placed within the means of every one. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ened to traffic. Camden — J. Blackeney Zemp rebuilding old stables on South Broad Street. Newberry — Contract awarded to Contractor Livingston for construc tion of addition to Central Metho dist Church edifice. Myrtle Beach—54th annual con vention of South Carolina Phar maceutical association held here. Charleston — 2,700,000 feet of pitch pine lumber shipped to Buenos Aires. McCormick — Construction un derway on flat bridge across Lit- many special features, such as car toons, health talks, wise cracks, pithy paragraphs, etc. All of these features cost money. A good newspaper seldom mixes in politics. It’s not a good policy to take sides unless some issue vit ally affecting the welfare of the community or country is involved. A good newspaper must be fair and impartial. A good newspaper will pull for its town, its state and its nation. The editor of a good newspaper must be well balanced and have a inate journalistic courage and ser vice to money, but because it would defeat its purpose for existence should it become partisan in a commercial controversy that is nothing more than a private fight between rival mercantile interests.

Now there is really no cause for the papers to be drawn into this argument. It 6 would not benefit a paper and it would not benefit the merchant, and no penalty was placed on enterprise and expan matter is that of a hope that the mercantile argument now in vogue has not been originated out of sel fishness and a desire for personal gain on the part of some of the leaders, and that the independent merchants are not being taxed to support a parasitic condition. The columns of this newspaper arc open to both sides, and we will publish any advertisement or com munications so long as it is not of a defamatory or libelous nature. X Shelled ISuts Form Soap Deposit In Glass Jars The mystery of the frostlike de posit frequently seen on the inside of glass jars containing shelled pecans, or other nuts has been solved by E. K. Nelson and H. H. Mottem, chemists of the United States Department of Agriculture. The deposit is soap, ohe chemists say, and it is formed by the action of the acid fat of the nuts on the alkali of the glass. It causes con siderable financial loss in the sale of the product. The unexplained presence of the soapy deposit has long been a source of annoyance to packers of shelled nuts and to some house wives in the South who put up STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA*. mi 1L, •:$ \ VT.

Study proved this theory incorrect, however. Further investigation showed jg^ of‘thTTowrof U partevill“in Washington Township, County of that shelled nuts packed in ordin ary glass containers formed the white deposit, whereas nuts put up in hard-glass containers at the same time and under the same conditions formed no deposit. It was concluded, therefore, that the soap was formed by the action of the nut fat on the glass. Little Talk On Thrift MAKE SAVINGS PLANS ON PER MANENT BASIS—NOT JUST FOR BRIEF PERIOD (By S. W. STRAUS, President American Society For Thrift.) There are few' persons who have not at some time shown themselves able to save money. The trouble has been that a considerable por tion of these persons have been unwilling to continue these thrifty practices. Saving must be continuous. The person who pinches and saves every possible penny for a * short time and then gives up and quits, will- never resell the goal of. inde pendence or success. It is well always to have in mind the matter of moderation. Saving a reason able amount regularly gives in- creusing stabilization and strength. The^fe is such a thing as being- carried away by enthusiasm. The miser is an example of this. Goethe observed that, “enthusi asm is of the greatest value, when we are not carried away by it." This can be applied to saving money as well as to everything else in life. Being thrifty does not mean that we must be an extremist in the matter of saving money or in giv ing upv. beneficial pleasures. Cul tivate moderation. Do not save to the point of being a miser nor to the exclusion of the various up lifting elements that have a righ- ful place in our lives. On the other hand, we must u#j moderation in the matter of pleas ure and out of our earnings make sure that we are providing for the lean days that are sure to come. Plan your savings along sensible lines. Adjust them to your income and to the conditions of life as they surround you. Do not try to save too much be cause it is far better to put awa v money systematically and persist- i McCormick, State of South Caro lina, having such shape, metes, courses and distances as will more fully appear by reference to a plat thereof, made by J.
