Phenix Mill No. 1
Phenix Mills are among the best a
and are running right along. At No.
1, Where the general office and com u
munity store are located, one gets "
an idea of the splendid spirit which
prevails. There's always a Joke go ng
on somebody, with general su- "
perinteudent White enjoying the fun '
as much as anyone.
The Booster Club, composed of of- 1
ficials and the key men of both mills "
and numbering 7S or 8ft. have a "
grand outing each summer on the '
beach and get into a lot of "scrapes' |
The Company Store is well stock* i 1

You* affairs are rarely so a
simple, whether tlicy arc
business or social in nature, $
that a brief communication is A
adequate to settle them fully
when the other party is in another
city. ,,
One question leads to an- ti
other?and that is svhy a three- cl
minute long distance tele- M
phone call is not only effective, n
but truly economical, e a
It is a two-way exchange of
ideas. It saves time. It allows
the warm tones of your voice
to express your personality. It
enables you to use a surprisingly
large number of words.
Best of all, it is low in cost.

Farm Export Recovery
Depends On Three Major
Commodities
Ne-v York, Sept. 13 -(TPS).?The
recovery of foreign markets for U.
5. farm products may depend pretty
igely, on what happens to three major
agricultural Items, according to
special report Just released by the
agricultural committee of the Na ional
Association of Manufacturers.
In a study of "Foreign Trade in
Agriculture" Products.' laid before
i wide lit; of busiucss men and
t'ur-vers. ' ' . ommlttee says that the
shrtnkav, > Pi exports of grains, meat
.-. nd cot?<--? account for over 85 per
cent o'. e decreases In U. S. farmf
exports.
Tea years ago. says the report, ag
-ricultnrrexports were valued at
$1.JH>7.780.000 and formed ovor IS
per cent of the total gross farm In- ,
come. In the crop year 1936-37, agricultural
exports had shrunk to $732,826,000
andl formed only about seven
mid a half per cent of total farm income,
Part of this decrease of $1,200
000.000, the committee says, ' was
due to the tact that prices for all '
goods were much lower In 1936-87
than in 1926-27. "But of far more Importance,'
it aays, 'Is the fact tthat
$1,018,647,000, or approximately ' 87
per cent of this decrease was accounted
for by cotton, wheat and
meat. , ,
"Therefore unless reciprocal trade
agreements can increase exports In
these three fields, In each of which
a special condition prevails. It is difficult
to see how they can materially
Increase our "total farm exports."
BRIEF NEW8 ITEMS
