O' SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 Six Months .75 Three Months .50 EASTERN FORESTS GAIN IN AREA Since President Roosevelt allo cated $20,000,000 of Emergency Conservation Work funds for the purchase of forest lands as a relief and conservation measure last July 21, the Federal Government has ac quired or is now acquiring through purchase more than 3,000,000 acres for National Forests east of the Great Plains. These purchases bring the total area iny Govern ment ownership within the Nation al Forests in the Lake States and the Eastern and Southern States regions to 10 ; 273,269 acres. Of this area, 7,796,129 geres has been purchased with the approval of the National Forest Reservation Cj$nmission, under the Weeks and C^arke-McNarjr forest laws. The itjst was acquired by exchanges and thirough withdrawals of lands from tRe public domain. fThe area of land under National V^RPest administration in the Lake States, January 15, was 3,010,344 acres. In the Eastern and Sou thern States the area was 6,885,623 acres, ©n February 21, the com mission approved the purchase of 877,302 additional acres in these regions, to be placed immediately under Forest Service management. x Dearborn, Mich., April 14.—Orders for more than 10,000 new Ford V-8 cars and trucks in excess of origi nal commitments were received by the Ford Motor Company during the first ten days of April, it was announced today at the home of fices here. If^the demand during the bal ance of the month continues at the same pace, the total of orders in excess of original commitments for the full month will run to 20,000 to 25,000 units, it was stated. Sales during the month, it was pointed out, will be limited only by the company’s present production capacity. Production is now run ning in excess of 90,000 cars and trucks per month and the total for April may exceed 100,000 units The total, however, is wholly de pendent upon the receipt from sup pliers of an adequate quantity of parts, including bodies, and other materials. The recent upturn in Ford orders is the result, it was stated, of a widespread increase in retail sales in all parts of the country, every section contributing. One of the most favorable signs in its relation to the economic con dition of the country at .large is the increases in the rural districts. Reports from all parts of the country indicate that rural dealers, who have been more or less inac tive for the last three years are a- gain doing business on a scale com parable to 1929. Some of these re port that their volume of business thus far this year is greater than all of 1933. No comment was forthcoming as to whether the increase in sales is attributable to the action of the Ford Company in maintaining the original list prices on the new 1934 V-8 cars and trucks in the face of the general increase in prices on the part of the industry or to th increase in public acceptance of the new Ford V-8- unit or both. FORD PRICES Stress on Quality ^ tty Rfrv. E. Dt*f&A» Christ’s Standard of Greatness Lesson for April 29th. Matthew 20. Golden Text: Matt. 20:28 A ' In Cotton Contest Clemson College, April 21.—Prizes totaling $2,000 donated by the South Carolina Cotton Manufac turers’ Association will be awarded in the cotton staple improvement contest in which farmers are now being enrolled by county farm a- gents. First and second state prizes WiU be $750 and $275, and first and second prizes in each of three dis tricts will be $200 and $125 each. Winners of state prizes will not be eligible for district prizes. The upper district will include Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, Green ville, Abbeville, Greenwood, Lau rens, Spartanburg, Chesterfield, Newberry, Union, Cherokee, York, Chester, Fairfield, Lancaster, Marl boro. The middle district will include McCormick, Edgefield, Saluda, Ai ken, Lexington, Richland, Calhoun, Orangeburg, Kershaw, Lee, Sumter, Darlington, Florence, Dillon. The lower district will include the remaining 15 counties, all in the coastal belt. Stressing the fact that the con test is for improvement * of staple length and quality rather than for increased yields, R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist in charge of the contest, calls attention to the The Master’s criterion of great ness, as revealed by this familiar story of Salome and her two fam ous sons, is service. He Himself was sent into the world “not to be min istered unto, but to minister,” and He expects His disciples to abandon all thought of the self-sparing life, and to fling themselves into the adventure of self-giving. What are the earmarks of serv ice? First lowliness. John and James wanted .to occupy a place of supreme prominence. They hadrnot mastered that difficult art of ; hu mility so nobly revealed by Jesus when He, at the Last Supper, fas tened: a towel about Him, and washed their feet. The second token of service is brotherhood. It is possible that John and James were envious of Peter, the leader of the twelve. Per haps they feared him as their chief rival, and were determined to usurp his prerogatives. At any rate, their conduct was sa unfraternal that it aroused the resentment of their fellow-disciples, and Jesus had to pour oil on the troubled waters. A third characteristic of service is dignity. We note that the sons of Salome imagined for themselves a position of great dignity. But this dignity was the dream of a swollen ambition. They had yet to learn the honour that goes both with honest toil and the daily ges ture of neighborly kindness. Finally, service is marked by fruitfulness. Here it is pleasant to recall that James and John did re lease their energies in a productive ministry. James, while less distin-' guished than his brother, was a de voted soul who died a martyr. And John is universally belovqfd as ; the most Christ-like of the apostles whose long, full life unveiled un rivalled saintliness. Let us march behind their banner, fully recog nizing, as Pasteur said, that the fu ture belongs to those who do most for suffering humanity. Who are the truly great? Not those who win battles and wear crowns, but who give a cup of water to a fellow-creature in dis tress. the first line of which reach; The Holy Bible,” and which coo tains Four Great Treasores • • • * » • • m It’s still the Lowest Cost Car AMERICA'S FASTEST SELLING CAR IS POWERED BY THE WORLD'S FINEST TYPE OF MOTOR In spite of the fact that the world’s finest type motor powers the Ford V-8——the only car under $2395 with a V-8 engine; in spite of the fact that the Ford V-8 is the only car under $3200 with welded spoke wheel—the only car under $1100. with torque tube drive—-the only car under $1300 with 34 floating rear axle—-in spite of the many advanced features exclusive to Ford, Ford prices have not been raised.

Insurance Fees Go To Counties COMMISSION SENDS 579,602 TO TREASURERS MONDAY - THE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY In the Psalms are love, hope, des pair, the bitterest of sorrow, the most exultant delight, sweet affec tion and deep hatred, confession of sin and joy in forgiveness. But the major note is optimistic and be lieving.
