The Spirit ct Service

We have often heard it said
that corporation has no soul.
Strictly speaking. this is the
case, but it has been proven on a
good many occasions that officials
in corporations quite often have
mot only souls but vision to go
with them.
This is shown today i'll the
fconduct and expansion of our
modern public utilities. No In
dustries so large as electric light
and gas companies have ever be-
fore attempted through cooper
alton to render the public such
service as they are doing today.
In many states we have the
startling illustration of those
companies utilizing each others
transmission lines and other
facilities in order that service to
the public may be uninterrupted
| Instead of one company
recently rejoicing that the equip.
ment of a neighboring company
was crippled through a storm Oh
Unforeseen accident, we find two
or more companies in such a cas-
combining their resources to set
that the customers get uninter
trupted and continuous service.
Il We see the managers of groups
Iof these companies meeting il
lround table conferences, not t.
II figure out a combination tina

.umers but to figure out way
and means 10 render a constantly

is apparent. however. hat agri-
cultural production this year will
still be attended by difficulties
arising from high wages and

Domestic demand for agri-

Within the last year a new
spirit las begun TO move in this
historic valley. An organizes
ton has been formed called
Shenandoah Valley, Inc, to de-
velop the whole area. There is,
OF course, nothing very unique in
this. Many another organiza-
ton has been initiated elsewhere
with similar purpose. But the
plans and purposes of the Shen-
andoah Valley, Inc, are suf-
ficiently different from those of
the average commercial orgaui-
cation to be worth noticing.
In the first place the organiza-
ton is not attempting a rapid
industfialization of the Valley
Rather it is setting itself to de
velop the type OF agricultur,
best adapted to each section o
tits IA counties and to invite in
ldustries only where they can b
located for their own best ad
vantage and that of the Vale,
itself. The primary interes
seems to be to build homess.
4 In the next place the Vale
recognizes that agriculture is it
basic industry. If the lines a
present being followed are con
