SAYINGS OF HENRY FORD.
Pungent Remarks Of Manufactures
of Ford Cars.

# AS Henry Ford is as much in the
public eye nowadays as William Jen-
.nings Bryan has been for the past
twenty-five years, it might not be out
of place to quote some of his latest
and most pungent sayings, in con-
densed form, as follows:
Il have never sought a loan for
any amount in Wall street, nor has
any one done so for me on my au-
thority. This report is hoax, pure
and simple. There is no reason for
the Ford Company to ask for loans,
and when we do it will be at time
when we do not need the money.
There is unemployment the world
over, but things are gradually work
ing back toward normalcy. People
are going back from the cities, or
are being forced back. Men who
were laid off during the shutdown of
industry are taking off their silk
shirts and are drifting back to the
farms. Many of them belong there
by right The fictitious war-pros-
perity of the United States lnred
them away.
Clues nave come to be unnatural.
They cause unnatural unrest in mems
minds. They have created condi-
tion which is robbing agriculture of
its man-power, robbing the worker
and the manufacturer of normal hu-
man conditions, and have created the
spectacle of the farmers production
having to be transported to, these
great centers to be treated or milled
or manipulated before they are trans
ported back. again to the smaller COM
munities to be sold back to the farm
er. These conditions are artificial.
"You can see the good effects of
poor business by just looking at the
stores, the corner stores and the big
downtown concerns. It was not long
ago that the ordinary frugal buyer
was somewhat in contempt. Clerks
caught the contagion of the prof
teers, and it was buy it or leave it
almost wherever you went The
of salespeople slumped at a
terrific rate, and that is pretty se-
rlous thing for business.
Monopoly is bad for business.
Profiteering is bad for business. The
lack Of necessity to hustle is bad for
business. Business is never 50 good
and sound and healthy as when, like
a chicken, it must do certain amount
OF scratching for what it gets.''

Care of Young. Tomato Plants.

Tall, sappy light green plants are
undesirable for transplanting pur-
poses, according to III. C. Smith, gar
den specialist of the State University
Extension Division The roofing
system is under-developed as COM
pared with the parts Of the plant
above ground. When such plants
are set out in the field they usually
suffer severely and no not obtain a
rapid start he says.
"An ideal tomato Seeding should
be. short and stocky. The leaves
should be dark green in color and the
main stem should be purplish. The
roofing system should be large.
ITO obtain these conditions it will
be necessary to water only sparingly.
This should be done in the early
morning on sunny days and just
enough applied to keep the plants
from willing. The seed should be
sown in drills about two to three
inches apart. If this has been done
the soil should be stirred frequently
between the rows to keep it dry. If
the seeds have been sown broadcast
q SplluhiIHS VI coarse SaHO over Cne
soil will have much the same effect.
Keeping the surface soil in this con-
dition will prevent the sdamping off
disease, which is the most serious dis
ease of young seedlings.
IF the seedlings are in window
box they viii tend to grow sappy,
growing toward the light. To pre-
vent this they should be placed in
the open when the weather will per-
nit. If the plants have been grown
in hotbed the sash should be re-
moved when the temperature is not
too low. The bottom heat will tend
to increase the root growth, but too
much top heat will cause the plants
to be very spindly If the plants are
too crowded they are sure to grow
spindly. In this case it may be me-
cessary to thin them out. Should
this be done, they may be transplant
ed three inches apart in coldframe
or other projected place from there
to the field. Before removing the
seedlings for transplanting they
should be watered heavily"

Preventative Medicine.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventative measures. 1t
is easier and better to prevent than
to cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows
cold or attack of the grip. The
cold prepares the system for the re-
ception and development of the
pneumonia germ. The longer the
cold hangs on, the greater the dam
ger. Take. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indication
OF a cold appears so as to get rid of
it with the least possible delay. 1t is
folly to risk an attack of pneumonia
when this remedy may be obtained
for a trifle.-Adv.

BENEFIT TO SUBURBAN LAID
One Advantages of Road Improvement
Would BE to Open Up Territory

Another change in the use Of land
which may result from road improve

is to make it available for suburban
development. This might better be
termed increasing the home value of
the land, and 1t will be found to ap-

who had witnessed the thrashing in
cident. Miss Harrison, with her
knuckles swollen, returned to- the
switchboard.
Long before the wedding hour Miss
Harrison and her attendant were
dressed for the ceremony, wearing the
flowers which Swanson had sent.
When the bride was nearing collapse,
following a long wait, special de-
livery boy left letter for her. 1t
was from Swanson and he wrote that
the wedding was all off. His mother
didn't want him to get married, he
felt he could not afford to, and he was
going away to forget.
The bride quickly rallied and he did
not get away quickly enough. She says
she believes in women defending their
rights and their honor with their fists,
and she demonstrated that she could
easily take care Of herself.

H. P. SCOTT TALKS
OF new BANKING
Compares Business of To-
day With That of Years
Long Gone
GIVES REASONS
FOR BAD TINES

Henry p. Scott. president OF the
Wilmington Trust Company, ad-
dressing the Hercules Club. at its
monthly luncheon yesterday, ex-
planned some OF the workings OF the
Federal Reserve System. Mr.. Scott
compared the banking methods Of
today with those OF 1877 when he
first engaged in the business.
The old banking system" he
said. started the boarding OF cur
rency and in past days many Of the
banks carried from 55 per cent. to
GO per cent Of their deposits in liq-
uid form. This is more than double
the amount carried by banks under
the Federal Reserve System. He
said that the difference between the
present and the old system might
be Illustrated by the difference be
tween a modern FIRE department with
efficient equipment at central sta
tons. and that OF having individual
water tanks at each building to take
care OF any fres which might arise.
Mr.. Scott related some interesting
incidents from his personal experi-
ence as a banker. and told OF some
unusual conditions that resulted
from the panic OF 1898. Under our
present banking system such condi-
tions could not occur because Il is
now possible for banks to secure
credit to which they are entitled.
even in times OF financial emergency.

He pointed out the advantages de-
rived from such an institution as the
Wilmington Trust Company by be-
ing a Federal Reserve Bank mem
Der.
Many reason have been given In
the past as the causes Of bad times
Some authorities have blamed I. on
sun spots. and others on the am ,unt
of rainfall with consequent effect on
crops. Mr.. Scott stated that the
fundamental reason for good times
is maximum average expenditure
per capita. and that whenever any
thing tends to lessen this. the so
called bad times" are at hand. He
quoted as the best safeguard against
dull business. the old Biblical ad-
monition Of Joseph. to put enough
away in good times to take care OF
lean times to come.
In conclusion. he voiced his ad-
miration for the spirit shown in tho
Hercules Club because It typihes the
unity and loyalty that exist in the
organization OF the Hercules Powder
Company.
