WILLOW VALLEY NOTES.

(From the Richland Dcmocrat)
One of our fair damsels in this
region dismissed her best fellow with
the words, Leave and never return"
Her mother on learning the facts, in
terviewed her daughter who answered
by saying, well, mama, had reasons
enough. He whistled the tune to one
of the naughtiest songs that | ever
heard" Cause enough for dismissal.
1t has been told that a young couple
who were sitting on the front porch
became very loving and the young
man planted a kiss on the fair ones
cheek followed quickly by another,
and then said, That's addition" By
much coaxing the timid damsel re-
turned one and said, That's subtrac-
ton" Then they both got busy, made
few rapid exchanges and said in
chorus, "That multiplication" About
this time the proprietor appeared and
without any formality kicked that
youth off the porch, down on the walk
and out into the road. AS the
thoroughly frightened swain disap
peared in the darkness, the fond papa
said, That's long division, you sap
head" Pa must have been eavesdrop-
ping.
Our valley is at its best these grow
ing days. The meadows, pastures and
grain fields are carpeted with rich
green, the wooded slopes make a
bright showing and the forest capped
hills make fine picture against the
azure blue of the sky line. The old
valley which is so dear to many of
our readers is putting on one of its
most beautiful raiments. None that
she dons is grander, without it be the
glorious colors wrought by the Oc-
tober frosts. You natives who are
now living in foreign regions, can see
easily form mental picture of the
old valley as it appeared in the long
time ago. 1t hasn't changed much,
but the people-they who were once
the pioneer residents, are nearly all
gone and the third and fourth gener-
atoms are occupying the old home
steads. The old hills are nearly the
same. They may be dressed differ
ent, but the frame work is still there,
unchanged by the elements and the
ravages of time. The contour of the
old valley is much the same and will
remain so as long as the grim old hills
exist These hills are about all that
remain of the old friends of fifty and
sixty years ago.

Ford Producing 1000 Cars Day

Ford is building cars at full speed.
And, according to an ofhclal stale-
ment from the factory at Detroit, the
demand for Ford cars and trucks
still exceeds the output, despite the
fact that a new high level OF pro-
duction has been reached.
By the first of May the figures rep
resenting daily production were III
the neighborhood of 1000 day, so
the May schedule was set at 1O1,lzo
cars and trucks, not including the
output of the Ford plant, nor any
of the foreign assembling plants.
The output mounted daily; May 18th
brought forth 1922, the greatest
number that have been produced III
one day so far this year. Since the
month has 20 working days, present
indications point to new high re-
cord.
A comparison of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses
the fact that for April, 1921, the out
put was greater by 34,514 than for
the corresponding month of year
ago. The output for May 1921 will
probably overshadow May 1920 by
between fifteen and twenty thousand
cars and trucks.
Approximately $4,000 men are at
work in the Detroit plant of the Ford
Motor company. The factory Is
operating Oh full time, six days a
week, and three shifts d day
"We were never in better con-
dition than we are right now, said
Henry Ford recently"
