FORD AS TEXTILE MANUFACTUR ER. For about eighteen mouths there have been pel'sistent rumors tbit Henry Ford would enter the textile field. It has been pointed out that as the Ford Compqpy; used an immense amount of cotton cloth of certain grades, and has for some time been making experiments with new and improved spinning and weaving machin ery, it was almost certain to enter the cot ton manufacturing industry. * And that the rumors were not with out foundation is shown by the state ment of a prominent firm of mill engi neers that the Ford Motor Company has engaged it to build at Detroit a large mill for the manufacture of cloth, to be used as a backing for the artificial leath er used on Ford autos. Ford’s experiments in the textile field 1 will be watched with interest. He has been wonderfully sticessful as a manufac turer and there are -many who have ex pressed the opinion that he will succeed in this industry as he has in others he has undertaken. , The announcement that. Mr. Ford will erect the mill in Detroit sets at rest ru- 1 mors that he was to purchase southern ; mills. This report was current several i' months ago when it first became known that the manufacture of cloth was of interest to the Ford Company. Mr. Ford’s plant in Detroit is to use the latest kind and model of machinery it is said, and his experiment will create 1 more than passing interest. WHERE IS THE IDEAL HOME? In noting that recently a very wealthy family in New York City had sold its palatial home and was seeking something I else,-caused the Greenville News to ask the impertinent question: "Where is the ideal home?” The News says “it would seem that any one financially able to own and live in one of the most palatial Fifth Avenue homes in New York would be satisfied.” but this is not so. Mrs. Caruelius Van derbilt has sold her Fifth Avenue home, the largest individually owned residen tial property in Manhattan and said to be worth more than $7,000,000. Mrs. Vanderbilt is displeased with the en croachment by business buildings on Fifth Avenue and when a tall building was put up on a corner opposite her property she did not like the long shadow it cast over her beautiful house. So she decided to sell -out. The News says this incident shows that no one is forever satisfied. ”The in cident shows that there is no difference in human nature and that neither rich or poor arc forever satisfied with what they possess. The person who lives in a log | cabin imagines that it would Ije the l height of happiness to own just a plain frame house as a home: one one who . lives in a frame house desires a better residence. And so it goes on up in de grees until Fifth Avenue’s most pulatial home is reached and even there we find its owner and occupant wanting some thing different and better. We wouldn’t suppose the goal fpr a perfectly satisfac tory house in every particular is ever reached this side of heaven. An ideal home would be h kind of heaven itscllf."

I Philadelphia Record. « Whatever really is around the coiner ■ in the first quarter of the new. year for r business and industry, the spirit of [ pessimism which was so prevalent with » in the past month, has largely or wholly disappeared. However, n> lessening of I the irregularities in business has been witnessed, but. none-is to be exported at this period. Dun’s review of trade says new oixlers are largely deferred, as at tention is diverted to inventory-taking, and the fact that increased operations , have developed in certain branches, ns ’ in the hide trade, merely illustrates the ' contrasts which still mark the situation. Business interests found nothing in President Coolidge’s first message ex cept what was reassuring, but lie has I Congress on bis hands, and who can • tell what will come out of the present [ session, with its organization de’ayed by , a showing of open and defiant, in surgency? But business is going ahead. 1 regardless of anything Congress may do or not do. ) Chicago wholesale dealers in dry • goods and ready-to-wear merchandise | held their semi-annual clearance sales last week, attracting large numbers of 1 buyers for retail from all the Mid-West and Western country. The prices asked were comparatively low, but. neverthe less. buying was restricted generally to immediate requirements. Pittsburgh reports light buying in steel products without unfavorable x iu ttuenee upon the general tone of the market. The record of steel operations has held up well. Further declines are ] expected for the present month, as some mills will shut down entirely over the holidays. While the bituminous eoal trade lias been pretty thoroughly demoralized, it is not believed in the steel trade that a strike is am< ng the • disagreeable possibilities for the new year. Mines in Indiana. Illinois and southern Ohio are producing less than 40 per cent, of their .normal output. The textile markets showed unusual strength during the past week, although the continued resistance to increased prices manifested itself in purchases curtail'd to present needs. The erratic movements in raw cotton checked the broad buying that had begun in unfin ished goods, and cloth prices were weakened. The disposition, however, was to advance finished cotton goods ■to levels moriv-iu keeping with raw cotton prices. At the same time the woolen mills made substantial price concessions —in some cases 25 per cent.—to induce buying. Raw wool has not been in so active demand as in previous weeks., with a tendency to rise with the foreign markets. 111 an address before the American Association of Woolen and Worsted Manufacturers a high auth ority bn wool sqid that nothing in the situation warrants the hope of any materially lower prices for 1024. Corn in the Middle West is selling around 45 to 55 cents a bushel, at wlpch price there is profit in feeding it to the hogs. In spite of the heavy marketing of hogs, many remain 011 the farms, and feeding them ’- likely to be more extensive at tin l tor- prices than when farmers got 75 cent to around sl. Th“ Chicago grain markets closed the week with profi-tnking and s’ow ex port demand- Governor Morrison Ls Rigid. Gieenshbro News. The Daily News has not always had (lie pleasure of agreeing with the ideas or the methods of Governor Morrison. It is therefore with all the greater pleas ure that we observe his stand with re spect to the case of the negro. Lee Wash ington. whom the governor surrounded with a ring of bayonets during his trial at Nashville last week. The commis sioners of Nash county seem to be ag grived by the Governor's action, but th“ir irritation seems to us without adequate cause. It may be that Nash comity had no disposition to lynch the negro, in spite of the fact that he was charged with a •particularly revolting crime, but it will take more than the mere asser tion of Nash county afficials to convince, the world that all was serene down there. In 1922 there were 57 lynehings in the Sout h: and 57 sets of county offi cials insist that they had no idea that a lynching was contemplated. In view of that record, a Governor is always jus-' tified in assuming the worst, and pre paring to meet it. Even if the presence of the military is not needed, it is bet ter to have the soldiers on hand with nothing to do than not to have them when there is plenty for them t > do. For it was not Lee Washington, the, negro criminal, that the Governor sent troops to protect. It was the civiliza tion of North Carolina, a civilization built up'by 300 years of toil ami strug gle, and the most valuable thing that any citizen of North Carolina can in herit. A lynching invariably damages that civilization, weakens it and thereby makes the life and liberty of every lmnest man a little less safe. The Governor of the State has no higher duty than to prevent such assaults upon the very foundations of the State. If he is sometimes over-careful, that is a great deal better than not being carcfuT’en nigh. Govornov Morrison was right, and it is useless to try to put him in the wrong ift this case.

A year ago McGraw stood pat on his line-up after trouncing the Yankees 1 in the 4922 world's series, but today ex-1 perts concede hardly an even chance for victory in 1924 to the aggregation which was routed by the Huggins’ clan last October. McGraw's deal with Poston generally was thought the fore runner of a wholesale shaken;,, but now the “Little Napoleon” imlicatef lie may make no more drastic change.-. Tlie Boston deal sent Davey Bancroft to the Braves as shortstop-manager, along with Stengel and Cunningham. in ex change for Seuthworth. cental-fielder, and Oseheger. veteran pitcher. McGraw declared at the time that Travis Jack son, a 192,1 find, would fill the gap at short. Os this youngster, he said: “He is a grear player right now. A wonder boy. clean cut. with steady habits and good sense. I ain counting on him. He is a second Frisch.” McGraw has not lost faith in Jimmy 1 EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO (W\YVo You SCRATCH Vveu- / ’siie / s’ll-telD ON VH4T r YOU, MY rfcieND, UKSHT OVER ( THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE j O’Connell,- expensive Pacific Const re : cruit, regarded generally as a failure in j his first big league year. ”l have not passed up O'Connell jby any manner of means." declared dthr gray-haired pilot discussing his plans frankly. "This boy was just getting over scarlet fever when he joined the Giants in the spring, and lie did not have a/ fair chance ’to do himself justice. He went on a batting sprit- during one period, the only time he felt well, I J still have faith in O’Connell becoming a great fielder ami batsman. He" may alternate with Southworth next season.” . McGraw does not:. share the view of critics that his pitching staff, which col lapsed against the Yankees, is due for the discard. He 'must gamble again on Nehf's frail arm. upon the disposi tions of Scott and Watson, and upon McQuillan’s uncertain form. But lie argues that every pitcher's forai next season is a gamble. He has hopes in his rookie fingers. He figures Ryan as the best relief man in either major league. - He has in Maun, -a recruit friin Wichita, a youth who comes la belled as a "second Mathewson." He lias high hopes of Gearin, Barnes, Jonard and Humtzingcr. Oschgcr is another veteran possibility. Jack Bentley, south paw and slugger, may become u star.

"Didn’t you want him to know it?” A tall passenger was thrown violently against the door in alighting from a street car. There was a smash as of broken glass and lie felt something wet on his hip. “O. gosh!” he gasped, “I hope it's blood-" One Question at a Time. The old lady who was spending the winter in Florida was looking over an | “alligator farm.” She was much in- ] forested in a monster alligator, says the American Legion Weekly, and demanded of the attendant: , “You say you don't have to feed him | very often? What kind of food does j he like best?” ] “Babied, ma’am," replied the man i mildly. "Why, liow horrible! Do you mean , to say the law allows you to feed him ( babies?" “No. it doesn't ma'am." replied the at* j tendiinf. "We feed him fish mostly, but you asked what he liked best.” The Tables Turned. He was one of those smart men who j like to make a show of their cleverness. \ "Wateli me take n rise out of him.” j lie said, as the tramp approached. Then j he listened solemnly to the tale of hard i luck. "That's the same old story you told me- j the last time you accosted me." lie said, j when the vagrant had finished. “Is it?" was .the answering question, t "When did tell it tq you?” "Last week.” "Mcbbe I did. mebbe I- did," admitted J the tramp. “I'd forgotton meeting you. ( I wns in prison all last week.” A small boy had been vaccinated, and j after the operation the doctor prepared } to bandage the sore arm. hut the boy ( objected. "Put it on the other arm. doctor." J “Why so?” said the physician, "1 j want to put tlie bandage on your sore j arm. so the boys at school won't hit you S on it.” ' 1 "Pt it on the other arm, l)oc." re- j iterated the email boy: “you don’t know I tli# fellows at our school." j Have You Seen the < New Flint Automo bile - They are in My Show Room, j Call 583 or come around to J.
