ody on the Twenty-third Psalm, ei
titled "A Ford Slam" Your paper
would have been better if the space
devoted to that bit Of wonderful lit
erature, inspired Of the devil, had
been left blank. But better still If
instead Of the parody you had pub
liShed the Twenty-third Psalm itself.
1t is admittedly one Of the most beau
tiful pieces of modern and ancient
literature. On the other hand, the
parody has nothing to recommend
it. 1T was neither funny nor witty;
neither elevating nor enlightening,
except as an example of what gross
sacrelege mere man will dare against
things pertaining to God The best
that you could do would be to print
the same space in your next paper as
black as printers ink will make It,,
with the request to your readers that
they cut 1t out and paste it over the
Ford Slam" Of the week before.
In conclusion, just take any two
verses Of the real Psalm and the par
ody and compare them, and the sa"-
reloge will be so apparent as to cut
like a knife.

AS FARMER SEES SITUATION.

Editor Keowee Courier:
Please allow me a little space in
your paper to comment on the pres
cnt situation. Everybody wonders at
the cause. We al know the effect
and many are seeking II remedy.
Some say that over-production and
speculation and cotton buyers unions
are the cause Of the trouble. Others
claim that high labor. high fertili-
zcrs and farm supplies are the under
lying cause Of it all. But be the
cause what it may, the effect has al
most been disastrous to the business
world and has well-nigh bankrupted

Newly Reduced Prices
Increased Value

The plain statement of price reduction tells
less than the full Nash story.
For the Nash manufacturing efficiency and
economy that made possible new prices also
added quality to Nash cars.
The big Nash plants at KenOsha and Milwaukee
are the finest works that could be devised.
Ample finances provided the most modern
machinery. Long experience developed the
most effective shop practice. And Nash pro-
duction ability is constantly finding ways to
build more economically while building more
finely.
The new lower first cost means lower final
cost because of the many bettermentS contin-
ually being embodied in Nash cars.
That is exactly what Nash value stands for
paying less and getting more in able perform
ance, in durability, and in solid comfort
The worth of every Nash car is further safe
guarded by our Nash service that is territory
wide and unfailingly prompt.

EUROPEAN DROP IN

Handicap in Doing Bust
ness Overseas.

J WASHINGTON. July 9.-The de-
| preciated currency OF the European
countries is proving a severe handi-
/ cap 10 American automobile manu-
facturers in their search for markets
abroad
The departments OF state and
! commerce are receiving reports
from their representatives In those
countries which show that the eff
feet OF deprecated currency has
been almost 10 put a stop to Amer
can automobile imports.
Austria furnishes an example in
point F. ". Airport. clerk TO the
representative OF the department Of
commerce at Vienna. reports TO his
department as follows:
"At the present time there Is no
great demand for motor cars. The
average Austrian has been pauper-
tied by the war and its after
math and only few are now able TO
afford automobiles. Apart from the
initial cost, which is practically pro-
hibitive 10 all except those whose
income has risen proportiQnately as
the crown has dropped and 20 the
foreigner. the cost Of gasoline and
tires prevents extensive private use
Of motor cars.
Prior to the war about so per
cent Of the cars in use were Of do
nestle make, and at the present
time probably 90 per cent are made
in Auetria, due to the prohibitive
price Of foreign cars in kustria's de-
preciated currency. The capacity
Of the motor car factories Of Austria
. is reckoned at 10000 10 $4,000 cars
yearly. though it is doubtful If more
than 5000 will be produced in 1921.
while the depreciation of Aus
trian currency is a source OF great
hardship 70 Austria, il Is in some
lines also a source of strength. For
example. in the automobile industry
il practically removes the element
Of foreign competition. inasmuch as
the cost OF foreign cars is too high
for purchase by Austrains. who must
buy the foreign currency at exist
ing rates of exchange.
IF large amounts OF foreign cap
ital should be invested In Austria in
the production of motor cars, the
same circumstances would react to
the sadvantage Of local manufac-
turers. as a comparatively small in
vestment in sound currency would
create a large capital in Austrian
currency"
The same conditions prevail in
Belgium. according TO Acting Com
mercial Attache S. II. Cross. who
advises the government at Washing
ton that the difference IN exchange
is keeping American cars out Of
Belgium. He reports as follows:
owing TO the present exchange
situation any advantage IN price
which the American car selling De
tween 5000 and $4,000 might possess
over the native product has van
/ iShed. and between an American car
and a Belgian car Of the same size
and price the Belgian buyer probably
would prefer the home product.
/ Should dollar exchange recede TO
/ 10 francs there is no doubt that cars
Of the prices just quoted would have
an abundant market in this country,
as they would then underseu the ma
tive product"

other European countries.
