There was lovely marriage here last
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. Grover Kinsal and
Miss Made Gathings being married at
the home of the bride; large audience
was present, all wishing them long and
prosperous life.
Everything seems to be going along
easy and lovely; the mill is still running
on full time.
The private road from the mill to the
main road is being worked and will be
much better than before.
There are two cases of the Influenza
here at the home of Mr.. w. V. Thomas;
| it is hoped that they will soon recover
and no more will occur.
There are lots of new Corners here
now; most that have been here in long
time at one time.

The man who Is tighting hardest to
keep American goods out OF France is
NJ. Loucheur, minister of industrial
reconstruction. During the war he
was minister of armament and war
manufactures and in complete charge
OF the output of munitions. Earlier
he was private contractor who spe-
cialized In electrical equipment He
has been interested in manufacturing
concerns, and gossip calls him very
wealthy.
War Plants into Factories.
Nj. Loucheur says that France must
turn her war plants into factories. re-
build her industries along every pos
sfble lire, protect French manufac-
lures against foreign competition and
at the same time furnish employment
for the vast army of demobilized
French soldfes and munition workers
1t is also asserted that NJ. Loucheur
plans even the imitation of American
inventions to fortify French industry
still further.
Let me quote from a letter on tile
with the state department of the
United States. written by the head OF
one Of the largest of American corpo-
rations represented in France. The
letter reads:
The attitude of the ministry at the
present time is decidedly hostile to
the importation of American machine
tools. 1t has been publicly stated by
M. Locheur, the minister of industrial
reconstruction, that he would frown
on any attempt to restore machine
tools to the free list, as his policy
IA to encourage the manufacturing OF
machine tools in France.
1t Is part OF his plan for the
rehabilitation of French industry to
convert number OF war plants into
factories for trying out machines and
small precision tools by openly. copy
