FORD MAKES OVER HALF
MILLION CARS IN YEAR
On July 31, the Ford Motor Com
pany completed Its 1915-16 year with
a production of 533,921 cars. This
volume of output and its distribution
mark an achievement without any
parallel in the history of the automo
bile industry. The building and dis
tribution of these halt million cars
has brought a proportionate growth
in every department of the Ford In
stitution, and this enlargement cul
minated in the opening on August 1st
of new direct Company branches In
twenty-eight of the largest cities of
the United States. When the Detroit
factory established a goal of 600,000
cars on August 1, 1313, the Ford Com
pany bad completed a production for
1014-15 of 300,000 cars and shared ov
er $15,000,000 with their retail buy
ers. Now the year recently closed
has again seen the fulfillment of pre
dictions in spite of an increase of
sixty-six and two thirds per cent in
the mark set over the output of the
previous twelve months.
To build these cars, the number- of
employes at the parent Ford factory
has been increased to more tnan
33,000 at the present time while the
payrolls of the branch factories and
branches have grown to more than
12,000 names.

The lianioru v. ...... -
Springs correspondent announce, that
the sons of several farmers In that vi
cinity are working for contractors
thereaboutts at a wwer ri
than their own fathers are paying
farm laborers. On the face of It. it
'. t ..,. h- mn who were
looks aDsura. uui, w
reared on a W it ooea n t appear
altogether perplexing. The Couraot.
in Its comment, says:
Probably two reasons may be found
which combine to send the young men
from the farm even though their pay
a. way from home is less than that
which they might command on the
homestead, and one is that few young
men, nearing or past 21, care to have
their father as the "boss." In their
younger days they have had enough
of dictation from that source, and they
yearn for a change, just as the prodi
gal son may have done In his day.
When they enter the employ ot a
stranger they may bargain with him
a little 'more closely than they could
with their parent and they realize
the fact. The discipline may be more
strict or it may be more lax than at
home, but at any rate it is different
and therefore to be desired.
A more weighty reaaon Is the fact
that. In working for a contractor, the
young man knows that his day will
consist of a specific number of hours,
and at the end of the last hour he can
quit for the day and have, according
to a once popular phrase, nothing to
do till tomorrow. On his father's farm
the young man faces a different propo
sition, for there the day begins at sun
rise, possibly before, and lasts until
Dad is ready to quit for the night. The
day may be eight hours long, it may
be ten, it may be fourteen, but neither
master, nor servant knows until it is
ended, which It will be, but in any
event, there will be no extra pay for
overtime.

The soldier boys have taught a val

of good teeth as they have the value
of anti-typhoid vaccination.
One of the most interesting subjects
that could be discussed these days is
ice cream. A writer in the Philadel
phia papers Is quoted in Commerce
and Finance as giving the following
very interesting facts concerning the
great American delicacy:
"Many persons think that Dolly

At a called meeting of the North
Carolina Association ot Afternoon
Newspapers, held In Greensboro Tues
day afternoon, a number ot the pa
pers represented entered into a con
tract with the MocQuoid-MUler Com
pany, foreign advertising agents,
maintaining offices in New York and,
Chicago, to represent them in the for-'
eign field. .
During the meeting matters relat
ing to the cost of white paper were
discussed. It was brought out that
prices now being paid by the publish
ers of the afternoon papers range from
two and a half to four cents per
pound. Those securing the lower
prices held unexpired contracts. ' No
promise of relief from present if not
higher prices was promised.
The attendance upon the meeting
was quite large and the business ses
sion, which was held at the Guilford
Hotel, lasted from two to six o'clock.
The papers represented included
The Sentinel, Charlotto News, Durham
Sun, Salisbury Post, Rocky Mount
Telegram. Concord Tribune, Hickory
Record, ' Fayettevllle Observer, Wil
mington Dispatch and Henderson Dis
patch. '
It was decided to hold the annual
meeting of the association in Durham
on the second Saturday in October.
The business managers of the Ral
eigh News and Observer, Charlotte Ob
server and Greensboro News also held
a lengthy conference in Greensboro at
the same time and discussed the white
print paper situation. An informal
agreement was reached to curtail the
use of print paper as far as possible.
WANT VETERANS TO WEAR
IMMORTAL GRAY CLOTHES.
The Wilmington Star haa it this
way: - '
That' every Confederate veteran
should wear the gray uniforms that
gained immortal fame through many
brave deeds on scores of battlefields
in the war between the states on
every public occasion is the opinion
of Lieut Gen. J. Thompson Brown, of
Richmond, Va., who was recently ap
pointed commander of the Army of
North Virginia of the United Confed
erate Veterans. The distinguished vet
eran has written a letter to Gen.James
I. Metts, commander of the North Car
olna division, urging that he take
some stop toward seeing that veterans
are provided with uniforms to wear
on public occasions.
General Metts has Just issued a gen
eral order to the various camps
throughout the state calling attention
to General Brown's suggestion and ex
pressing his cordial approval. Atten
tion is called by General Metts to the
fact that Cape Fear Camp, U. C. V.,
of Wilmington, has for years made a
practice of wearing the gray uniform
on all public occasions In which the

appeared at Trouville In U9S In the :
hands of a well known Parisian au- ;
thoress. A spasmodic attempt to in-',
troduce it was made soon after the j
British troops began disembarking in
French ports, but it got no farther
than the boulevards. The boulevards j
finally tired of it, than the faahloaa-1

ed how it was made, and from this
small beginning the ice cream business
has grown until, according to a cream
ery expert, who has followed the de
velopment of the business in America,
the American people last year consum
ed 250,000,090 gallons, which, figured
at 80 cents a gallon, means a business
of 200,000,000."
It is said that the first ice cream
was mad by a London confectioner
named Gunton, aud from him others
learned to make It and It was intro
duced in America by Dolly Madison.
Hut his method of freertng was rnide
and uncertain. It remained for Nancy
Johnson, the wife of an American na
val officer, to invent the ice cream
freezer. Today the ice cream busi
ness baa outgrown th small freezer.
Vast qusntfUes are frozen by special
machinery.
It is said that the average con urn p.
tion of ice cresm In the Lnltd States
is sixty dishes a year for each person.

OF MANY REJECTIONS
The fact that bad teeth was : the
cause of more rejections among the
enlisted men of the State militia than
any other one defect, perhaps, Is suf
ficient - testimony, says the Stat
Board of Health, as to the direct rela
tion that exists between bad health
or Inefficiency and bad teeth. As a
matter ot fact, no greater lesson baa
been learned by the troopers and the
people in general as a result ot the re
cent mobilization of troops than the
importance of a sound body and the
dependence ot a sound body upon
sound teeth and a clean mouth.
The Germans years ago realised
that the health of their soldiers de
pended no little upon the condition of
their mouths and teeth, and during
the present war dental clinics have
been maintained regularly wherever
th soldiers have been encamped. Oth
er armte have not been alow to fol
low Germany's example and now
