HENRY FORD DiScOURSES
ON BUSINESS CONDITIONS

automobile manufacturer, whose rise
in the business world is one OF the
most remarkable achievements OF
American genius and whose ten mil

made him a national character, re-

about present business conditions:

that most of the evils aimed at in the
Presidents program exist and ought

1919 A RECORD YEAR IN
TIMBER PRESERVATION

The most notable progress yet re-
corded in the chemical treatment OF
timber to prevent decay was made in
1913, according to a report recently
issued by the American Wood Pre-
servers Association, in cooperation
with the forest service OF the de-
partment of agriculture.
The report states that SO wood
preserving plants in 1913 consumed
over 1O8 millions of creOsOte oil, 70
million pounds of dry zinc chloride,
and nearly 4 million gallons of other
LIQUID preservatives With these the
plants treated over 153 million cubic
feet of timber, or about % per cent.
more than in 1912. The outbut from
additional plants unrecorded woulu

| Impregnation of wood with Oils and
| chemicals to increase it's resistance
to decay and insect attack, the re
port goes on to say, is an industry
which has become important IN re

and most of the European countries

consumed are treated, and the prope

scarcely commenced.
Real progress in the United state
dates from 1882, when the kyanl2
ing process, using bichlorides OF mel
curry, was adopted. In 1887 two othe
processes were introduced, the Blu
nett process using zinc chloride, an
the Bethel process using coal tar or
osote. These last processes are Ver
largely in use to-day.

GROWTH Of BUSINESS
At PARIS P0ST0FFICE

About the first Of February
the Paris postofice will change
hands. the present efficient and
popular postmaster, Mr.. D. M.
Mobiles, retiring and Mr.. Y. @.
Caldwell assuming full charge.
While there is general feeling
Iof regret on the part Of the pat
'rons of the office at having to
give up the present splendid
postmaster, yet everyone who
knows the incoming official and
are familiar with his disposition
to have things technically cor
rect, have no fears that the bu-
Einess Of Uncle Sam will not be
kept well up to it's present high
standard.
Il The following figures furnished
The Partisan by Postmaster No
hles will be of interest to the
Paris public, for they show the
lendid growth in the business
Since 1907, which will perhaps
compare with the increase Of
business at any other Office of
same class in the South.
Gross receipts Dec. 1907, .$795, :
|5S; and for the quarter ending
Dec. 81, 1907, $2, ,281. 81.
Gross receipts for Dec. 1912,
|$1OO5, ,23; and for the quarter
ending Dec. 81, 1912, $2,8O3. sc.
Gross receipts for Dec. 1913,
$1427. .82; and for quarter ending
Dec. 81, 1918, $a, a,520.27.
Money orders issued during
Dec. 1909, $1,189; Dec. 1912,
81, 1926; Dec. 1918, 81, ,842.
It will be seen from these fig
ures that the postal receipts at
this Office had a steady increase
each year, and since the parcel
post and city delivery have been
added the income of the office
has increased by leaps and
bounds until the local office is
one among the valuable assets
of Uncle Sans postal system.

BUTTERM|LK SOLVES
THE PR0H| QUESTION

From the following news item
we see no good reason for fur
ther controversy over the moot
ed prohibition question. If
Tennesseans will educate their
thirst organs up to pure butter
milk as a beverage instead of
booze, the war will be over. The
news item says:
A thirst for buttermilk has de-
veloped in Conersville, Ind. A
year ago Charles Smith, County
Recorder, drank it at the sugges-
ton of a friend from Ohio. Mr..
Smith said the drink made him
feel like a boy. He recommend
ed it to others. These men told
many friends and every morning
now a string of vehicles comes
in from country districts around
Cornersville carrying butter
milk to the people who have
learned to like it.
Physicians encourage the use
of buttermilk, which, they say,
aids digestion and keeps the
stomach in good condition. 1t is
said to delay the hardening of ar
teries.
It is said by the rising school
of buttermilk devotees that the
drink not only keeps them feel
ing like colts all day, but induces
a wonderfully sound and restful
sleep at night.

Nearer to Thee
(By j. H. M

In the life of the poor who have many care
Will often be found the Christ love there;
And many time face you will see
Uplifted in prayer OF, Nearer To Thee"
1t is this, their sorrowful path so dim
Is lighted by the life and love of Him;
For poverty seems to pave the way
In the hearts of men for the Christ today.
In the narrow streets where poverty and want
Are all there is save the wolf SO gaunt
There's forever and always to Him CRY
Of, Master, stop as you pass BY"
To them His love and His tenderness,
In their wilderness of want and distress,
lis bit of Sunshine---a needed thing
Toi.ClL1 them to as the limb the swing.
20
And Yes say you in your laudeet,
With the aroma of incense yet
Sweet round your life, and you whose feet
Scarce ever the Mother Earth doth greet.
But hold you naughty ones and wait
Ere longer deploring their awful state;
And listen---y0u who are crowned with gold
Is not there something to which they hold?
More precious far than aught you've dreamed?
Aye yes, for though indeed Iween
Your ear is not tuned to such a key,
Still they are saying, Nearer To Thee"
Next to these whose lot is SO drear,
Save for this bit of heavenly cheer,
You'll find the men of profession and trade,
Who goodly part of the world have made
In fact the world in them is blest
With happy medium 'twixt worst and best.
Here some are good, and some are not;
Some care for Him, and some do not.
Perchance in proportion to their veal
Is easily measured all their zeal,
And yet not drawn as by the first mans need
Nor having barrier Of lustful greed.
Some men ale left largely to follow their bent;
And many life is wastefuly spent;
But unless it is guarded too sacredly
Oft times we will hear the Nearer To Thee"
But the other class, above the need of work,
Seem always thoughts like these to shirk
Unless purchance, with his direful tread
Calamity comes bowling around their head
And then they think and think, and think,
AS close they come to the chasm's brink;
And whisper comes that seems to me
It might be-, Nearer, Oh Nearer To Thee
But misfortune for once has missed the mark,
And backward is driven the spectre dark
And once again on the lighted way
Is spent the night and part of the day.
With laugh at the spectre that loomed so tall,
And so grim and CHASTITY before them all,
Loosing the gold with merry jest,
And thinking they have the very best.
Oh how you're envied with all your gold
And how you laugh when you are bold!
But will the time to you ne'er come
When you will think of the Eternal Home?
Calamity came, Il drove him back you say?
But think you, will he forever stay?
Or perchace when again he is on your track,
Will he then consent to be driven back?
Nay, it's not the nature of this monster grim;
Almost unknown is defeat to him.
He is coming now with steady tread;
Soon it will sound loud to your fevered head.
And the humping sound you can hear SO we'll
Destroys your body and sends you to Hell,
Unless there comes an hour you can say with ME,
Nearer, O. Nearer My God To Thee. /"
