Any one really interested in the success of the farmers in his com munity would find much that is in structive by taking a trip through Green county, Tennessee. All along the pike, as the highway is called, one sees the milk can, silent partner of the fanner, and the source of the farmer's constant cash income 365 days a year. The Pet Milk com pany operates at the county seat, Greenville, and every day the trucks t avel over all the pikes, taking the i 'tk into Greenville. Beautifully kept farm homes, l'reshly painted houses, lawns as spick and span as one would find in any city, fields of growing grain, forage and tobacco give evidence of real living, tine living, among the far:. : s of that county. Pastures lillcii with fat cattle and growing calves present a picture that is most appealing. Keeping of these herds is valuable not only for the amount of money brought into the farm home every day in the year, but ex tends to a still greater influence in natural fertilizer coming from the barns and spread upon the fields, making production double and treble in quantity and quality. All of this great prosperity is re flected in the business houses of Greenville. It is next to impossible to walk through that little city on a Saturday afternoon and evening, so great the crowd, while the stores art- literally packed with peope mak ing purchases. "Is there a conven tion bfing held here today?" a stranger asked the chief of police. "No, sir. ' ^he reply came back, "thU is Ih. regular Saturday crowd come In from the county to do their shopping. A man from our mountain coun ties lurking upon the scenes of ac tiviiy and viewing the evidences of pro ; i rity there, couid not keep from yvishing for a leadership in our section capable of bringing about sinfiilar c onditions here, and a spirit of unity among the citizens that would t.-jrmit such co-operative ac tivity as would result in great good to all concerned. We have far su perior natural advantages here over those hi Greer.e county, Tennessee. This is th.' i .est stock raising sec tion in tin' South. We have our fresh \yat ?. dashing down the moun tainsides, while in Tennessee the people .must rely upon the cistern, or v.se t hard limestone water. We have natural grazirv; lands in our ! ' ;:ii : ??.-?untain?, v.hile in Ten . p.f's.-*.-. ;in > n:ust nia ' every foot of pa.uui t. We have t: 1 cool nights when a:i us can refreshed, ther liy feeling much . tter during the working hours, wh in Tennes see the heat of the day hangs on until th- early morning hours. Somebody led the movement that brought about existing conditions in the lives of our neighbors across the line. The citizens manifested a spirit of unity so essential to com-' muniiy progress and prosperity, j Ov ?! in. re in Greenville a county Chamber of Commerce is functioning ' just like clockwork. The farm agent maintains his office in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, as do other agents and agencies through which the great co-operative ideal becomes an actuality. How we need to hear the neigh of horses, the braying of mules, the ( lowing of cattle, the bleating of | sheep, the crowing of roosters, the cacklin< of hens ? all of which har n!Jiii?e in singing the song of suc cess that would echo from every home in the hills and along the val leys of our mountain counties. BREVARD MINISTER IN GREAT REVIVAL. It was our pleasure to spend Sun day with Rev. J. P. Mason, who is conducting a revival at the New , Found Methodist church, near the Buncombe-Haywood county lines. In the community, which is noted for its agricultural wealth and big dair- j ies, such fine old families as the i Shooks, the Browns, and the Halls ( have held the lands, improved the < soils and the herds, builded the i homes and supported the churches i for mnay generations. The church I building where the revival is being held is just as good in its every ap pointment as can be found in any city. | The people of the community ex- ' pressed gratification for the work be ing done by Rev. Mr. Mason. Many conversions have been made, and new additions to the church recorded since the revival started a week ago last Sunday, and which is continu ing through this week. At the conclusion of the sermon last Sunday morning, as Mr. Mason was beginning pronouncement of the benediction, a layman halted the preacher, and asked that a voluntary offering be made for Mr. Mason. As ' a mark of the appreciation for the great work being done by the 1 preacher, a goodly sum was placed in the box for Mr. Mason. At noon time a great picnic din ner was spread on the ground. In the afternoon the graves were decor ated, and short exercises appropri ate to the decoration were held. Mr. Mason's success at the meeting is most gratifying to his many friends in this county. THANK THE LORD FOR SENSIBLE CITIZENS. Brevard is to be congratulated be cause of the fact that its citizenship has good sense. While every town has a tree-sitter all its own, and daily newspaper record the number of hours each tree-sitter has to his credit, the blessed boys in Brevard go on in the even tenor of their way, nary one of them being fool enough to enter the contest that is raging in other towns with all the enthusiasm that made yo-yo so pop ular with the simple minded people of the nation. Our Brevard boys will fight, :f any one comes along expressing a desire for a scrap. They will play football until the cows come home. They played baseball at night long before Asheville ever dreamed of night baseball. They will debate any group of boys from any other town or city in the world. One of them has already become an Eagle Scout, winning all the difficult points nec essary to attain this high honor. They will make music in the munici pal band at any moment they arc called upon to do so. But they will not sit in trees, bless the Lord and the good dadies and mammys who raised them. Can you imagine any fool boy en tering a contest to see how long he can sit in a tree? Can you imagine boys in big cities like Asheville, and Charlotte, and Greensboro, and Ral eigh, climbing into a tree and trying to beat other boys in the number of hours so occupied? Can you, above all things, imagine great daily news papers giving space and daily rec ords of these fool boys sitting in trees? If such a fool thing had happened in a small town, and the county weekly had given notice to such ape-like antics, can you im agine how Oscar Coffin, Tom Bost, Dick Young, C. K. Robinson, and others of our Big Brothers on the bis dailies would have re-printed such ac count and commented upon them in their satirical manner? RETRENCHMENT IN PUBLIC EXPENDITURES IN ORDER. Reduction in expenses of govern mental operation is now being made in emphatic manner. Asheville city officials have made a sweeping cut of 20 percent in the salaries of all city officials and employes, from the mayor down. All over the state these reduc- , tions in state, county and municipal j expenses are being recorded. Meck lenburg county has just made a big | reduction in its expense account, re- j ducing the county tax rate to 85 j cents on the hundred dollar valu ation of property. The sum of $i5'/,UU0 was cut on the six montns school term in Meckienburg county, while $28,000 was saved on the ex tended two months' term. Other re ductions made possible the low rate of 85 cents in that county. For the past quarter of a century the state and its several counties and towns have been forging ahead, mak ing great progress, but, at the same time, piling huge bonded indebted ness, until the time came when an over-burdened tax-paying citizenship demanded real economy in govern ment, and a face-about program, which would give a measure of re lief to the tax payers. Transylvania county, it its re trenchment and reduction program, is in keeping with the policy of the state government and most of the counties and cities in the state. Dear Mr. Stikeleather : The peo ple of the county of Transylvania ire anxiously awaiting the beginning your activities in paving the two state highways ? 283 and 284. It ivould be welcome news to have your mnouncement that work is to begin it once. On July 23, at 6:12 o'clock in the : morning the Death Angel visited the, home of Capt. J. M. Thrash and | claimed his life's companion, Mollie (Maxwell) Thrash. I She was a native of Henderson county, and had reached the age of . 69 years. She was married to Capt. | Thrash about 22 years ago. For sev eral years she had been in ill . health, and had to suffer quite a bit, I but she always bore her suffering very patiently. | 1 She suffered a stroke of paralysis Wednesday morning at 5:30 o'clock,] and died 42 minutes later, in spite ' of all that loving hands could do, : they could not stay the hand of i death. But while she lingered she 1 said she was anxious to go. Truly it is a great sorrow that has fallen upon her home and com munity. We realife her worth as never before. And while we miss her smiling face, we know that God makes no mistakes and blessed is the assurance that she is wearing a beautiful robe washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb, i which was so ably described in the 1 funeral service that it seemed to im- 1 press upon us more of the beauty of | heaven. It is hard to give up our 1 long loved one, yet we have this con solation, that she is at rest. ? There was no task too great for her to do. She was always forgetful of sejf, ever ready to do all she could for her neighbors, and not on ly for them but for all with whom she came in contact. Funeral services were conducted at the Brevard Methodist church, of which she was a member, by her pastor, Rev. J. H. West, after which the body was laid to rest in Oak Grove cemetery. She leaves to mourn her loss, her i husband, step-children and many relatives and friends. She was loved and respected by all who knew her, which was shown by the large floral offering. i Mrs. I. C. Kennon and children, Eva and Robert Whitmire of Sum ter, S. C.. are visiting the former's mother, Mrs. J. A. Colburn. I Mrs. Sarah Cothern of Asheville spent last week with her brother Jake Parris. Miss Julia Deaver has returned to her home after attending summer school for the past six weeks in Asheville. Reuben Mackey spent the past week with his uncle, Lee Scruggs, on Boylston. Miss Johnnie Stepp of Pickens. S. C., spent the past week with Miss Mildred Burnett. C. L. Corn accompanied his aunt. Mrs. George Corn of Forest City, to Pickens on Thursday aivl spent sev eral clays there with relatives and friends. j Vance Clayton of Horse Shoe spent several days last week with Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Campfield. i Miss Sally Parnett is visiting her brothers, Tom and Sid Barnett after spending the winter in Greer, S. C. | Mrs. G. Parker and children are spending several weeks with Mrs Parker's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Allison. | Mrs. Joe Orr spent the week-i nd with friends in Selica. j Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Roller and P M. HIGHLIGHTS I | Do you know what the abbrevia tion in the above heading stands for? It might be Post Master, Pay Mas ter, Post Mortem, Afternoon, or a number of other titles. P.ut none of these will lit. It simply means Prayer Meeting Highlights. j the threatening storm last Wed nesday night, which proved merely a springing rain, evidently Kept ,many from prayer meeting, but the few who came out felt well repaid. If you were not among the number present you missed a spiritual feast. For your benefit, therefore, a few Highlights of the meeting are here with given, with the hope that you will be present next Wednesday night if possible and see and hear for yourself: Subject: The parable of the vine and the branches ? John 15: 1-10. Helpful Thoughts Brought Out ? The vine can exist without the 1 branches but not the branches with out te vine ? no more can we exi^t 1 spiritually without God. We can bear fruit and live true I Christian lives only by abiding in | Christ, and not in our strength alone. The secret of many failures in prayer is that the person asking is not abiding in Christ. Outstanding results of fruit bear ing and abiding in Christ are a life consecrated to God and cleansed of evil, obedience to God's command ments and keeping our lives in har mony with God's will. If we abide in Christ we may ask what we will and it shall be done. Are we abiding in Christ? Are we bearing fruit? If not, why not? Next Wednesday night a series of short sudies on the book of Galatians will begin. Come out, hear about this interesting book in the Bible, listen, learn and discuss. The prayer meeting needs you, and perhaps you need the prayer meeting, at least it will do you no harm. Try it and see. ?COMMITTEE. SELL IT?

Get Your Service Done At The AUTHORIZED FORD SALES AND SERVICE JOINES MOTOR CO., Inc. BREVARD, N. C. Meeting the Needs of Millions of J People The low-priced automobile ha .1 brought greater opportunity and utided hours of recrcation to million of men and uomen. BECAUSE the automobile is such an im portant factor in the lives and pros perity of so many people, the purpose of the Ford Motor Company is something more than the mere manufacture of a motor car. There is no service in simply setting up a machine or a plant and letting it turn out goods. The service extend3 into every detail of th<? business ? design, production, the wages paid and the sell ing price. All are a part of the plan. The Ford Motor Company looks upon itself as charged with making an auto mobile that will meet the needs of millions of people and to provide it &t a low price. That is its mission. That is Its duty and its obligation to the public. The search for better ways of doing things it never-ending. There is cease less, untiring effort to find new methods and new machines that will save steps and time in manufacturing. The Ford plants are, in reality, a great mechanical uni versity, dedicated to the advancement of Industry. Many manufacturers come to ?ee and share the progress made. The greatest progress comes by never standing still. Today's methods, however successful, can never be taken as wholly ment in the methods of the Jay before. Hard work usually finds the way. Once it was thought impossible to cast gray iron by the endless chain method. All precedent was against it and every previous experiment had failed. But fair prices to the public demanded that waste* ful methods be eliminated. Finally the way was found. Abetter way of making axle shafts saved thirty-six million dollars in four years. A new method of cutting crankcaaes re duced the cost by $500,000 a year. The perfection of a new machine saved a similar amount on such a little thing as one bolt. Then electric welding was de veloped to make many bolts unnecessary and to increase structural strength. Just a little while ago, an endless >l<?ln conveyor almost four miles long was in stalled at the Rouge plant. This conveyor hat a daily capacity of 300,000 parts weighing more than 2,000,000 pounds. By substituting the tireless, unvarying machine for tasks formerly done by hand, it }uls made the day's work easier for thousands of workers and saved time and i money in the manufacture of the car. All of these things are done in the interest of the public?- so that the right. They represent simply the " best efforts of the moment To morrow mnst bring an improve benefits of reliable, economical transportation may be placed * within the means of every one.
