Ferguson, whom we are proud to call a native son of Haywood, we would feel remiss, indeed, if we did not pay a tribute to his record in the Engineering Corps of the United States Army. With deadly routine of the work of the army, where orders must be carried out to a word, where each officer's duties are more or less cut out in unchangable patterns, it takes a geni us to step out and go far beyond that well laid beaten path. Harley B. Ferguson in the engineering pro jects undertaken for the Government, has shown vision, and talent for solving problems, that have whipped many others. When he raised the sunken Maine, off the coast of Havana, he made history. When he conquered the Mississippi he made more than history, for he made the homes of the people who live in the rich fertile valley of our country safe from the floods of the Great Father of Waters He made a place for himself in the lives of future generations who will carry on in the Mississippi Valley. He made a name never to be forgotten for himself, in the realm of engineering. We understand Genera) Ferguson has con templated returning to. Waynesville after his retirement. We take this opportunity to ex tend a welcome "back home." I . S. ENTERS OLD GAME . The matter of surplus products that have seemed to be so prevalent in the United States since the days of the depression, have given us much concern, as to whether or not the govern ment had the right to assist individual busi ness and groups to the extent that has been ' done. We have noted, both with interest, sympa thy and at times alarm, instances that have taken place at the commodity office on Depot Street. There has often been waste of products that seemed appalling,, through' no fault of any local person, but through the execution of the government instructions. We have wondered at times whether or not the government had any right to buy these commodities from individuals or groups, since purchases could not possibly be made from all business that happened to be "hurting' Now comes a surplus commodity "swap" with Great Britian, that from all appearances is a good and fair exchange, and at the same time the government will have something to "show" for buying a commodity, as well as the cotton fanner, who is in deep trouble over a surplus, disposing of his goods. Other nations have been swapping, but it is said that it is a new step for the' United States to barter. The swap will take 600,000 bales of the 11 million cotton surplus, for 175, 000,000 pounds of British rubber. The value of the deal in money was announced last week to amount to $20,000,000. It is said that the trade with Great Britian will serve -as .a model for similar pacts with other nations. Germany, until recently, the chief proponent of trade without cash, now has two new rivals, Great Britian and the United States. . England and the United States will store the good3 for seven years, except in case of war, and then they will be used when needed. It has also been pointed out that having the products already stored would eliminate the necessity of carrying it through troubled areas, in time of war. ' Always, there seems to be carried forward the thought that sooner or later, we will be drawn into some conflict, that will demand war supplies. EQUITY FINANCING Makin? ends meet today has become a di fficult matter w:th an established business, and a new venture has pitfalls undreamed of strewn in their paths. The following by H. I. Phillips, in th? New York Sun, illustrates with the Ford Motor Com pany, in an illuminating manner what a new ... . . . . business starting today must lace: "('Henry Ford started the Ford Motor Co, zb years ago with $2,00. .News item.) THEN "A man demonstrates a horseless carriage and asks financial backing. He says hi3 name is Henry Ford. "Nobody knows him. "He says he needs about $2,800. "He gets it. "The business starts. TODAY "A man demonstrates a horseless carriage and asks financial backing. He says his name is r ord. "Nobody even asks his first name after he mentions $2,800. "He goes to some wealthy men but they tell nim this is no time to take chances. "He goes to a banker. The banker says a horseless carriage mierht sro all rierht. but the Dank is putting all its money into Government bonds. "He goes to a close friend, who expresses the belief a horseless carriage might have a fu ture, but that on account of the economic setup, the unbalanced budget, the inflation scare, etc., it is no time to launch a new project. "He goes to another close friend, who is quite delighted with the horseless buggy, but who 'isn't putting any money into anything now on account of the European situation.' "He goes to a politician. The politician says a horseless carriage looks okay on paper and might be profitable though replacing the horse and buggy would be to throw blacksmiths, hack drivers, feed store workers, harnessmak ers, etc., out of work. "He finally locates a couple of capitalists who have imagination enough to see a future for the automobile, but he drives them out by predicting that 'they will make millions' TW thought of what they will pay in taxes scares, them so much they order Mr. Ford to forget all about it. "He decides to try Wall Street. "The SEC demands a demonstration. The car works perfectly, but the commission cau tions Mr. Ford against undue optimism, over statement or the use of superlatives. It holds up everything while it makes a six-month in quiry to see if his right name is Henry Ford. "A broker agrees to float stock. , "e Nation is rendered a little difficult by bbC rules along lines in the advertisements sudvas 'may ultimately become as popular as the horse and surrey' and 'likely some day to take its place as a pleasure vehicle' be deleted in the interests of honesty. "Ford quits Wall street, finally gets $2,800 from a group 0f friends-Heaven knows how and starts a small shop. "Labor delegates warn him that for every man he hires to make an auto he must hire at -aM une nvery stable worker. "There are a series of strikes. They are referred to the NLRB. The NLRB investigates for a year and a half and files a report charging hat a horseless carriage industry ,s unfair to whip makers. "Mr. Ford appeals to Washington and ex Plains, rather pathetically, 'All I am trying to do is to make some horseless carriages ' "There are frenzied speeches in the Senate and ! House in denunciation of the new invention Tn, "Th,e 4President "ames a Commission 'To rZ'w t 1 v-ASP0CtS f the "useless Car! r age ,th a View to Possible Effects on the Lconom.c and Social System.'

OSCAR -ZILCH A CHARMING BRIDEGROOM OF MISS LESLIE Mr. Oscar Zilch, charming and promising young business man of and handsome son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Buster Zilch be came the bridegroom of Miss Ruth Leslie Sunday evening at 8:,"i0 o'clock . . . . The ceremony was performed in the main au ditorium of the Douglas and Sing Mortuary before an improvised altar of yellow chrysanthemums,, marigolds and other autumn flow ers . . . The unusual seasonal ar rangement was made to please the groom who wanted to put off the marriage until autumn.

As the groom strode statelv tn thp altar on the arm of his father he was the cynosure of all attention . - Ho was charmingly attired in a three piece suit, consisting of coat, vest, and pants. . . . The coat, nf HovW mo. terial wasifraped under his arms . a pretty story current among the wedding guests was the fact that the coat was the same coat worn by his father before him ... and his great grandfather before him . . . on their wedding days . . . and that it will be worn by his sons and grandsons after him perchance . . . .

The groom's pant were of dark worsted and were suspended from the waist and fell in a straight line almost to the floor ... . The severe simplicity of the garment was relieved by the right pantalet which was caught up about four inches by a Paris gar ter, worn underneath, revealing just an artistic glimpse of dark blue Real Silk holeproof hosiery, worn above a pair of genuine black leather shoes, laced with strings of the same color . . . . The effect was rather chic . ',' . . Mr, Zilch 's neck was encircled with a collar around which a cra vat of mauve hue was loosely knotted so that it rose up Under his left ear with that studied carelessness which marks su preme artistry in dress . . . . His costume was essentially that of the modern groom . . . As he stood at the altar a hush of admi ration at the complete and won derful harmony of the raiment envolped the audience . . .
