THE DATE BUSINESS

5000 per aO1 for dates. We did
take in that amount the season before
last but en- account OF rain not s.
much this year.
Another mistake was in assuming
that all the trees in aG orchard will
bear every year, whereas with proper
care and good fcrtilizing grower
may expect Is per cent to bear.
There is no doubt that dates are
big paying crop. ou plant AZ trees

"Jack Reames, Clemson's right.

star of the day. He got a single in

knocked n to deep left which net

spectators to be good for a home run.

GOOD ROADS BILL ALMOST
UNANIMOUS IN THE HOUSE

Washington, May BY a vote
Of 239 to 81 the house roday passed
the Dunn bill authorizing an appro-

building for the year beginning July
1, next, and $75,OOO,O0O for the
year thereafter.
Under the provisions of the bill,
which now goes to the senate the
fund would be used :n connection
with state aid appropriation. Repre-
sentative Dunn, Republican, of New
York, in charge of the measure, ex-
planned that since the cost Of road
building had decreased since the
war the federal share was limited to
$4,000, a mile for the year ending
June 80, 1928 and thereafter $10,-
900 a mile.

send in too few orders and a few
send in enough more than expected
to make up for the shortcomings of
the others, the business may run. If
some send in only what is expected
and others more than their allotment
the business is a success; if all do
more than is expected and all assist
in piling the orders higher and high
er. the business becomes a marvel in
its line.
The same is true of laborers every
where, in the workshops, on the farm,
in the great lines of transportation,
in the mines and in the stores. The
mar who merely completes his task
and goes home, or quits, has done a
days work, but he has added nothing
to the success Of the company of
which he is a part. He will get the
promotion which comes with age and
from circumstances, maybe, but ne
need not expect to become an out
standing figure with his corporation,
nor with his employer. He does the
work assigned him like a pitchfork
or some other inanimate tool.
The mar who does not watch the
clock, but who is willing to stay af-
ter six to dust off the counter, to
sweep out the store, to put away
the tools which others have left, to
see that the shipment goes off, to
see that the car is loaded, to see that
business goes on and that by the first
train out; and the man who gets up
a little earlier, who works a little
harder, who thinks a good deal more
of the success of the enterprise than
he does of his own priority" and
the increase in salary, which all ap-
preciate; these men will get increases
in salaries without asking when in
creases are justified; and one day
when there is a place open for a new
executive, a new partner, or perhaps
when the business is for sale, one or
more of these men will be called in.
No mar a force himself to the
top by doing a little less work at a
little more pay. The world is so big
that it will run without any single
man or any set of men. 1t is believ.
ed that this is also true of Abbeville,

true that we can not refrain from
quoting it: "We all know too much
law, talk too much politics, talk to
much generally, and do too little for
