One man tending cows on halves near Greenwood is making a clear profit of $2.00 per day, which, as he says, is not the biggest wage he ever made, but is a wonderful help in supplying the necessities of life. And he has plenty of time to do other work on the farm. If every idle man in this country could do as well as this man prosperity would be coming back soon. The cheese factory didn’t just happen to spring up at Green wood, but was located there through tremendous effort and at considerable expense, and it stands as a monument to the enterprising spirit of Greenwood. It was a big task and could not have been ac complished without the whole d co-operation of the Green- business men. in McCormick there’s no > make, for Greenwood has been on the market for hile and is going good. It product that should soon a leader. success of this cheese fac- eans success to our dairy- terests, therefore, it is up to dairymen and consumers to and boost the industry way possible. txt 'BUILDINGS OF TOMORROW United States $2,000,000,000 a year, according to the U. S. Department of Commerce. The situation, according to the secretary, is getting so bad that he loss caused by traffic jams ‘may be equal to our annual ex penditures for the construction and maintenance of traffic facilities.” These words emphasize anew that one of our diost serious prob lems is the traffic problem. The time is rapidly approaching when we must find some solution for it or find our social and economic life seriously crippled. No nation can keep its prosperity at a high level if it lacks a free and easy flow of transportation. . t\t HORN HONKERS The city of Berlin is conducting investigations to see if its automo bile traffic can not move with less honking of horns. •Investigations conducted by the police show that the average driv er sounds his horn on a trip through the city about five times as often as he really needs to. As a result new police regulations are being prepared and the persistent horn-honker is going to be sat up on severely. Would that a few American cities could follow suit. The driv er who honks his horn unnecessar ily isn’t exactly a menace but he is one of the-greatest nuisances our civilization has developed. Prob ably exterminating him would be too severe, but if it is possible to civilize him the job surely ought to be attempted. The horn on an auto is for emergency use only. SANTA CLAUS LETTERS McCormick, S. C., Dec. 10, 1930. Dear Santa Claus: I am in the first grade. I want you to bring me a doll carriage and a big doll that cries and says, “Mama.” Please bring me all kinds of fruits and nuts. Don’t forget my mother and daddy, and please don’t forget Mrs. Sara Strom and my teacher. Your little girl, LOIS MAE GOFF. I McCormick, S. C., Dec. 10, 1930. Dear Santa Claus: I want a doll that will go to sleep and cry and a balloon, some huts, candy, fruit, and fire works. I am in the second grade. Don’t forget my mother and daddy.

I want a wagon, a box of firecrackers, a big ball, and lots of fruit, nuts and candy. • Don’t forget my mother and dad dy and little sister and brother. Your little boy, JAMES PRES GABLE. Experts employed by the Amer ican Institute of Steel Construction report that it is structurally pos sible to build skyscrapers 2000 feet in height. They add, however, that the “economic limit”—the height at which the builder gets the maxi mum return for the mon^ he has invested is considerably lower than that. On high-priced land, the ex perts # estimate that the most pro fitable height will be between 60 and 70 stories. “For all practical purposes,” say the experts, “the physical or engineering limitation upon pos sible building heights has been re moved by the flexibility of struc tural steel, terra cotta and other modem building materials, and by the astounding developments in elevator and foundation engineer- *ing. Competent students of the problem estimate that if it were not for economic factors it would be possible to build, and operate successfully, an office building 2000 feet in height.” We may eventually come to these 2000-foot towers, at that. So far, there seems to be no check in the tendency toward taller and taller buildings. One is inclined to gasp when one thinks what the city of tomorrow may look like.
