W. l.. Henson. present county su-
perintendent. Is this week asking
the Republican voters to nominate
him in the August primary for re-
election.
When a public official. especially
a county superintendent, has served
the people for four years, as Mr.
Henson has done. Il Is scarcely nee
essary for this paper TO say any
thing for or "for-ninst" such can
didacy. Their Gealings with the
public have been such that men and
women are pretty much decided
whether or not they are fitted for
the place and entitled TO re-elec-
ton
Personally. we feel that Mr.. Hen
son has made Beaver county a good
superintendent For some reason.
which we have never been able to
fathom, a school teachers Job a
county superintendett's Job and
school board members job Il an
exceedingly hard one to ill and
please any great per cent of the
people for any length OF time. The
very fact that Mr.. Henson has
served the schools OF the county
the past four years, that he stands
favorably with a great majority Of
the teachers. the boards and the
patrons. is an extremely good re-
commentator for his reelection.
That .lse can discharge the duties of
the office has been proven; that he
is worthy and personally needs the
Job IL Undisputed. Unless his place
can be filled by better official, and
that is doubted, the voters Of Beaver
county would do well to re-elect
Mr. Henson We want the best for
Beaver county schools. remember
that. regardless Of all else.

STATE BIRTH RATE
SECOND IN COUNTRY
DEATH RATE LOWEST SINCE
RECORDS HAVE BEEN
KEPT.

When it comes to the baby crop
of 1921, the year Of financial depres-
sion, South Carolina is second to on
ly one state in the union, according
to the records in the bureau of vital
statistics. The one state that out
pointed South Carolina in he matter
of births in 1921 was North Caro-
lima. In 1921 the total number of
births in this state was 49,342, which
is at the rate of 20 babies per 1000
population. This was next to the
highest rate in the registration area in
the United States, according to health
officials.
Not only was the birth rate high,
but the death rate was low-the low
est South Carolina has maintained
since she was admitted to the regis
tration area. The total number of
deaths in the state in 1921 was TO-
1872, which was at the rate of 11.9
people per l,OOO population. Ihese
figures were taken from the records
of the bureau of vital statistics of
the state board of health.
South Carolina was admitted to the
registration area not very long ago.
The admission means that national
health officials recognize the statistics
furnished as approximately accurate,
and recognition was awarded after an
investigation had shown that the fig
ures and records kept at the office
were accurate and reliable. The bu-
reau of vital statistics has registered
and indexed the 49,342 births, accord
ing to the state health officer.

FORD EAGER TO ACT
AT MUSCLE SHOALS
PROMISES CHEAP FERTILIZER
TO FARMERS IF CONGRESS
WILL AUTHORIZE LEASE. !

Detroit, Jan. 27.-Henry Ford is
near the goal of prices he set out to
attain several years ago when Re an
nounced he would sell "a car, trac-
tor and n truck fer $1,000" The
price for the three now is S1,173.
Today he cut the price of the tractor
81 per cent-S23O. Or the yearly
production of 100000 tractors this
means a cut of $115,O0O,000 in reve-
nue. from tractor sales.
"I have been a farmer all my life"
Nj. Ford said, "and am vitality inter-
ested in solving the formers prob
lens, especially that ve:y acute prob
lem of reducing costs of farm pro-
duction. Although during the last
eighteen months farmers lave bet
tered their financial conditions, pro-
duction costs are still tco close to
selling prices to allow fair margins
of profit.
eve are doing our part in bring
ing the cost of power machinery
within the farmers reach. Another
way is through fertilization Of the
soil, building up the yield of crops
per acre. If Congress will lease Mus
Gle Shoals to US we'll show the Amer
ican farmer what we can do to bring
a very cheap and effective fertilizer
within his reach"
"But," it was pointed out to Mr..
Ford, "it is charged in Washington
that you cannot make fertilizer at
Muscle Shoals at price cheaper than
the present market price,"
"If that were so, why is the fer
tilizer trust so strenuously opposing
our getting the property" Mr.. Ford
asked in return. "I can tell you right
now that if we get Muscle Shoals the
thing we will do is to start making
cheap fertilizer. The most impressive
fact that entered my mind after my
recent trip down here was that those
great plants are all ready to be set
in motion.
"A crew Of men could get every
thing in place and adjusted in o very
few days. Then we'll take the steam
power plant there on the property,
start it up, and have the big plants
going within a week Of the time we
get the lease. I'd Lille to 60 down
that way again pretty soon, but when
I do want to start those plants run
