ARDOR OF GAY LOCHINVAR
COOLED BY WEATHER MAN
Only Nine Marriage Licenses are
Granted During Past Week

Cold weather has cooled the ardor of
quite a number of prospective couples
during the past week, as only nine
marriage licenses were issued during
the week period ending Monday at
noon. Saturday, usually busy day for
the clerk, was just like any other day.
Only one person applied on that day.
One applicant was refused a per-
nit during the week on account of the
youthfulness of one of the applying
parties.

SOYBEAN GLUE

The air transportation company operating line
of passenger planes between the United States and
the Philippines is erecting pre-fabrcated houses
on the islands of Midway, Wake and Guam.
II is by no means new idea. Such houses are
to be found in all parts of the United States and
several large concerns manufacture them. Pre-
fabricated houses are not new on Midway Island.
More than quarter Of century ago, when the
Commercial Pacific Cable company took over that
island as battery station, an dlaid the Pacific
cable between this country and the Philippines, the
houses first erected were Of the pre-fabricated
type.
The remarkable feature of the houses now being
shipped to the islands of the Pacific that glue is
largely used in their construction and that the glue
is made of soybeans, the bean made famous by
Henry Ford who uses it in the manufacture of
motor cars.
The soybean, which was used alone as food and
feed for centuries in oriental countries has be-
come indispensable in American manufacturing 1t
enters into the making of paints, varnishes,
Gus articles used in factories and homes and now
as glue plays part in house construction.
Chemists also are working to make these beans
more paatable for human food while plant special
lists are selecting those varieties most suitable for
human and animal consumption and the fertiliza-
ton of our soils. If the word versatility could be
applied to plant certainly the soybean possesses
it to remarkable degree,-Spartanburg Herald

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ADYERTISING'S PART

When he was president of Princeton University
in 1906 Woodrow Wilson said:
Nothing has spread socialistic feeling IN THIS
country more than the automobile; to the country
men they are a picture Of the arrogance Of wealth,
with all of its independence and carelessness."
The quotation is used effectively by The Satur-
day Evening Post in an advertisement in Adverts-
ing Age magazine.
Woodrow Wilson," the magazine says, was a
scholar and a seer He could look much farther
into the future than the average man. But even
the most gifted and courageous have had their pre-
dctions dwarfed by the immensely Of the develop
ment of American business life.
in the very year when Mr.. Wilson relegated
the automobile the the narrow comes of the very
rich, automobile manufacturers began to advertise
their horseless carriages to the ever-growng multi
tude of people on the way up
'Then that vital process which has given Amer
lea the highest standard of living in the world
began to operate. Increasing demand made posi-
bic mass production Mass production brought low
err prices. Lower prices attracted still more custo
mers. The price of the average cart had been
about $500 in 1905-fell steadily
"And advertising has done more than bring the
prices down. 1t has stimulated engineers in their
quest of technical improvements. 1t has made these
improvements known. 1t has helped to popularize
every major motor car development from the cleo
trio starter in 1911 to the introduction of safety
glass within recent years ....
"a generation ago less than half-of-one per cent
of American families owned a car.
To-day the luxury of millionares has become
daily necessity; twenty million families own and
enjoy the rich mans oy.'"-Greenville Is c.

FEDERAL SPENDING RISES

The Federal Treasury report for October-when
all accounts are struck-reveals government spend
ing in excess of the last fiscal years OUTLAWS for
total to date almost double current tax receipts.
For the fve-month period of the fiscal year start
ing July l. excluding money set aside for debt re-
tirement and excluding offsets to expenditures
made with money coming into the treasury from
loans previously made, expenditures have amounted
to So $50, 100000. For the first five months of the
year using the same basis of comparison, expendi-
lures amounted to s2,416,000,0oo.
For October alone, expenditures amounted to
s67s, 10000. against $59S,700,00O for October,
last wear. On the debit side of the October ledger
is shown for the first time a postal deficiency Of
$40 900 000 and for the four months, S22,527,-
00O year ago that deficit was S5,000,O0O for
October, and $50, 900 for the four months
For operation of the regular departments of
the Federal government during June, July, August,
September and October, it cost 5176,S33,00O as
compared with S154,2O1 900 for the same period

Supplementing this to provide work relief for

shown to have returned large sums to the treas

treasury to be spent again, with the result that

There is wholesome lesson for young people
in reports that the skilled workers Of the country
are having no trouble getting placed, now that
business is good again.
Unemployment, however, among those who are
unsked continues.
1t is this latter class that is keeping the ranks
filed up.
tifcised business of today has place for those
who know how to do given job better than the
other fellow.
In the meantime, society has more workers who
are unskilled in any craft pursuit than there is
unskiled work to be done.
OF course, this is another one of those facts that

Further comment on this development is
withheld for the reason that this newspa-
per of limited capacity and understanding
is unable to do justice to the occasion.
We do rise to assert, however, that there
is something radically wrong In this coun-
try-something wrong and rapidly becom-
ing wronger.
Almost Immediately following the late
electoral mandate" the country hears the
announcement of the alliance of the Roose-
welt and du Pont families. That announce
ment was followed in few days by an
nouncement that DR.. r. Guy Tugwell was
quitting his administration post to accept
a position with big business enterprise in
Wall Street-a concern said to be one of
the most reactionary of the enterprises of
the~'princes of privilege" in spite of the
sweet nature of its business. And now
comes the announcement of the Seattle

of conspiracy? Are we to learn at an
early date that President Roosevelt has
taken membership in the Liberty League?

WINTER COMES

Thanksgiving Day brought snow to Hen
dersonville-the first real touch of Winter
weather this section has witnessed. Today
it isesnowing, with the prospect that it will
continue until the ground is covered with
a real Winter snowfall
The Autumn up to this time has been
one'of mild weather, registering tempera-
turs above normal; and, on the whole, it
has been a fine season. Today the snow is
swiffing and the outlook is for Winter
weather.
Local merchants will welcome the APP
peafance of colder weather. The warm
FalIshas made buying slow. If anything
like an old fashioned Winter shows up now
andsthere is much cold weather for the
next month it will no doubt contribute to
the making of more active business for the
MERCHANTS. The cold weather win stimu-
late trade and increase Christmas business.
From the standpoint of the business man,
the snow and cold is good for trade. From
the standpoint of the householder, it is not
so good. 1t makes necessary heavier buy
ing of food, fuel, clothing, and runs up the
family expense account.
However, in the last named particulars
we are favored here above many sections
of the country, as our Winters are mild in
comparison with the weather in northern
and western States; and residents of those
sections who visit our section in the Win
ter usually conclude that it is very nice
Winter resort for people from the colder
regions of the United States.
