feet of lumber in 1920, valued at
$4,000, 200, or nearby double the
value Of the 1918 cut. This remark
able increase was primarily due to
the great postwar increase in lumber
prices, which reached it's peak .n
March, 1920, together with the fact
that the quantity Of lumber sawed in
creased 25 per cent in two wears.
The number Of mills cutting $4,000

Making Things

Inc last few months have tested
the ingenuity of every business man
TO make his business 90: some how,
SAT down and waited for things TO
happen; others have tried mora or ,os.
to do things, while some have not
waited for good times, but have had
absolute faith in the future and maze
things happen. The Scotland Neck
Motor Company belongs to the latter
class and are going ahead to make
things happen.
During the past year they have CON
structed building which would be a
credit to a town Of MANY tbonsano
population. for the use of their bus1-
ness as exclusive Ford Dealers in cars
and accessories. This building is TO-
Gated on Main Street in the heart of
tne town. At the present time con-
siderable improvements are being
made. The stock and display room
IS being ceied and cut off from rne
balance of the first floor, and will be
painted in white enamel In this Dor
tion will be the stock room. with dis
play show cases and also room near
the front windows for display of cars
and tractors. On the first floor will
be rest room for ladies, with all con-
veniences.
Back of the stock is considerable
space for storing of cars WAITING for
repairs, and all of the repair WORK
will be done on the second floor. the
cars being taken up by elevator. I'm
the rear of the Main building is the
Old garage building which the mana
is contemplating turning INFO
a paint shop, and it is probable that
they will soon be equipped to handle
any work of this character. Mr.. Nor

lence as this that will make for a re-

MAKES A STATEMENT
(By U. S. Press)

Washington, June 17.-Through Of
1lclal channels comes the following
cable from Manila: w. Cameron
Forbes, speaking before the Rotary
Club on the evening of June 9th said
in part:
- have heard the stories in the
United States about wreck and rn,n
here and bad conditions Of roads in
this country since the Filipinos have
been given more autonomy. These
statements and criticisms I find nm
Justified. [ have seen that things
have improved since I left the Islands.
One thing [ am especially pleased
with is the attitude of the Filiplnos
towards Americans. That attitude
today is one of friendly cordiality 1
am obliged to acknowledge that was
not wholly the case when 7 left the
Islands. Americans were not so pop
ular with the Filipinos at that time
Speaking Of the alleged maladmin-
istration Of Governor Harrison, from
which press reports drew the rather
hasty inference that Forbes opposed
Philippine independence, Mr.. Forbes
said: tEThere are enOuph evidenc.e
Of mala administration to prove the IN
of the F'ilipinos for self-gov-
but the same will also prove
on the part of the United

of business justifies establishment
terminal commission firms will be set
up in the main markets to which Ohio

The first step will be to take sur
vey of the business going to the diff.
ferent terminals. Then, if business
warrants, the county live stock ship
ping associations and big individual
shippers will be solicited to take men,
berships in the terminal exchange.
The terminal companies will charge
the regular commission rates, but will
refund annually to their members a
patronage dividend from the commits
sions in excess of the cost of opera
ton.
At each market where terminal
commission association is established
there will be formed also stocker
and feeder company, which will be fin
