NANCY RUTH REEVES, Editor

the very nature of the case, pro-
duce additional idleness> among the
working men, continue to insist that
the nations economic body will
never be cured until radical steps
are taken to limit the introduction
of new machinery in industrial
plants.
A scientific study of this question,
conducted by able diagnoSticians,
has been completed recently by the
National Industrial Conference
Board which not only covered a
long period of time, but was inclu-
sive of all the Representative in
dustries, and the results of that
analysis are convincing that the an
ti-machinery economists and labor
groups are on the wrong side of this
fence.
Eighteen highly mechanical in
dustries that have come into exist
ence since 1879 are held responsible
for fully Is per cent of the total rise
in employment that has occurred
from that date to 1929, and 40 per
cent of the increase in per capita
employment in manufacturing in
dustries during the period.
The era of most rapid mechanical
ton in American industry, it is
further pointed out, witnessed a
rise in the number of gainfully en-
ployed persons of SO per cent, a
population increase of 62 per cent
and an expansion of national in
come of fully 432 per cent. In addi-
ton, machinery made possible an
Improvement in quality of products
manufactured and increased leisure,
because of a Is per cent reduction
in average weekly working hours
from 1899 to 1929, that are not re-
fiected in these income figures. Such
is the factful evidence of this issue.

Better English

The state has just observed a
week dedication to better spoken
and written English.
We in the south have long been
the butt of many joke about our
slovenly English and it is usually
understood that if we come from
the mountains and from the south,
we can hardly speak even one word
correctly.
We pride ourselves on the. fact
that our mountain people have
quick minds and average or above
average intelligences, yet, we have
earned our reputation for speaking
poor English. The best of us deserve
it, falling back on the old excuse
that we can talk well enough to
make peolpe understand us. We can
as long as we stay with the people
who speak as poorly as we do, but
how we have to keep our mouths
shut or become an object for laugh
ter when we travel abroad!
If we live in an English speaking
country, it is our duty to learn our
own language and practice speaking
it. How many public speakers and
preachers would enlarge their field
of work if they would only take
time off to present their subjects SO
that the educated as well as the I'M
educated would appreciate them!
A lack of education is no excuse
in this day of grammar books that
explain mistakes and give examples.
If there is desire to learn, we can
learn without a finished education
as far as attending schools is con-
cerned.
The better English pledge that is
used for a motto for Better English
week is as follows:

Ford Introduces
Popular NelD Model

A new model that is certain to
find ravor with motorists every
where was introduced recently by
the Ford Motor Company and is on
display now at Ford dealer estab-
lishments throughout the state.
It is the Fordor Sedan, equipped
with built-in trunk, and selling at a
much lower price than the Fordor
Touring Sedan, the only Ford sedan
model which formerly had the
built-in trunk features.
"Here is model that we are GER
tain will sweep to immediate sales
leadership because it offers the
same quality features which dis
tinguish all Ford cars, plus the
roomy luggage compartment which
has become a necessity for thou
sands upon thousands of motorists
who tour long distances in their
motor cars" said B. B. GRAPHICAL,
local Ford dealer.
Furthermore under the new $25
per month payment plan this car is
now available to tens of thousands
who formerly had to be content
with used cars.
'The Standard Ford models have
the same wheelbase, the same mo-
tor, the same mechanical features,
the same equipment of safety glass
all. around in windows, as well as
windshield, as do the de luxe models
yet they sell at considerably
lower price.
dealers here predict that the
new Standard Fordor Sedan, equip
ped with built-in trunk, will prove
a best seller during the 1896 sales
season because it so completely an
swers the needs of so many motor
lists.
"This new addition to the Stand
ard Ford line of motor cars lives up
to the recent Ford tradition of
streamlined beauty and is worthy
addition to the Ford family of mod
els which have won wide public ac-
claim as the most beautifully styled
cars on the highway.
''In spite of its roominess the
built-in trunk is gracefully designed
so that it adds to the streamlined
beauty of the car it adorns.
During the past three years
there has been an increasing de-
mand among automobile buyers for
roominess inside the body and for
greater luggage carrying capacity,
said Mr.. GRAPHICAL. I'm this new
model the Ford Motor Company
gives the buyer exactly the features
that he has been demanding. No car
built offers greater comfort for pas
sengers-no car that we have seen
offers as large and roomy luggage
carrying capacities as those Ford
cars which are equipped with these
featured built-in trunks.

Former Ashe Girl Is
Married In Maryland

On Saint Valentine evening a
very pretty wedding was solemniz-
ed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. P.
johnson, of Conowingo, Maryland,
when their oldest daughter, Carrie,
became the bride of Mr.. Donald P.
Shirk, of Quarryville, Pa.
The bride was lovely, attired in
a long, dark blue wedding gown of
ruff crepe, with jewellery trimming
at the high neck-line and at the
waist. The ring ceremony was used
and the only attendants of the
couple were Miss Cora Johnson,
sister Of the bride, and Mr.. Bill
Duncan, of Oxford, Pa.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed in the presence of relatives
and a few close friends by the Rev.
c. M. Cope, of Elkton, Maryland.
Other guests from Elkton were
Mrs. c. M. Cope and Mrs. c. R.
BallOWe.
Immediately after the ceremony
the guests assembled in the dining
room where the table was attrac-
lively laid for fourteen people. The
table decorations were in harmony
with the day, Saint Valentines. The
large cake was baked, as well as
cut, by the bride.

Better Posture

High schools and colleges are be-
ing called upon to stress better pos
ture in their class rooms and to i'm
press the necessity for sitting and
walking erectly upon the students
who will be the American race Of
tomorrow.
Often old age brings disease and
lack of energy to hold ones Shout
ders erect and ones chin up, but
there is no excuse for the young
man or woman, boy or girl, who
stands and walks with their Shout
ders dropped, head and abdomen
protruding. Nor is there any excuse
for sitting on the back of ones neck
when attempting to sit in chair.
Medical science tells us that
stopped shoulders is actually men
ace to health as well as good looks.
It causes the vital organs in our
chests to be crowded and unable to
function as nature meant for them
to do. And certainly Mother Nature
for us to stand up and walk the
same way when she decreed that
we be human beings instead of ami
mails.
Children are often allowed to
hump over until they are so stoop-
ed they can't straigten up. Teachers
will do we'll to have a lesson once
in a while on the Importance of be-
ing outstanding, physically and spir-
itually as well as mentally.
