Forest Grove, Feb 22 —Everything I
is “all wet” in this locality. There
Is very little traffic even on the;
highway. Most of the byroads are
hard to travel with a car unless youj
have some extra handpower. We
see many going on horses, in wag- ‘
ons and on foot. This mode of tra- j
vel is going to necome more popu- i
lar in the future due to the depres-'
sion.
Mrs. M. G. Hickman and little
son, Leo, were Sunday visitors of
Mr and Mrs. W W Kyle. They
are living for the present in Cam-
den. Others visi'ing in the Kyle
home were Mr. and Mrs. J. W Gra-
bein and son, Billie, anci Mr. and
Mrs. Bill Kyle of Rockdale.
The many friends of Mrs. Will
Crimm are glad to learn of her im-
provcwcnt in Lk 3 *.i tlv ]>i w ck.
O. A. Kyle had an attack of lum- j
bago last week and has been unable
to be up very much since. Alva Wat-
son has had charge of the mail
route during Mr. Kyle’s illness. This
home seems to have more sickness
than any other one home in our
community, as Mrs, Kyle has been
sick most of the time since Christ-
mas holidays. This has made it
necessary the hiring of a colored
woman to do her housework.
There was no Sunday school or
prayer meeting Svnday. It’s diffi-
cult to have services during the win-
ter months when the weather :s
fairly good, but given weather like
we have had the past week, it is
next to impossible.
Miss Ariel Wilson, primary tea-
cher of Oak Hill, had as week end
guest her sister, Miss Edrie. of
Clause.
A number report finding turkey
eggs. It is still rather early but
soon everyone will be in the race.
Here is wishing all a fair success.

before any field work can be done, | Sc-idl celebrated her 69th birthday
as the ground is soggy. Our pota- j Wednesday,
toes and gardens have not been able
to make much showing owing to the |
cold and wet. Very little plowing
lias been uuue <*.-> yet. With so much
rainfall over several days, our gar-
dens naturally lose a lot of the fer-
tilizer we have applied, and so we
shall have to top-dress our plantings.
We are trying three new vege-
tables—Canada peas, Japanese mus-
tard spinach and Shogoin Japanese
turnips. Last year we tried velvet
spinach for the first, time. As it will
grow through the winter, we have
early greens, whereas without it
greens would have been scarce. It
deserves a place in the gardn. Since
ours is a family with all too little
liking for leafy vegetables. I like to
have as wide a variety as I can, so
that I need not have to give the
same vegetables too often. Of the
leafy vegetables, I have planted now
f xbbage, turnips, three varieties of
mustard, two of spinach, Swiss chard
and collards. Yes, and poke salad,
and onions. Lots of us think poke
salad as fine greens as ever was put
on the dinner table. It used to be
abundant, but it is hard to find now.
Fbr the last two years it has found
a place to grow in my garden, and
when I no longer have this special
garden for our use, I shall have
seeds to plant in my next garden.
<We are renters, you see).
So far as we have been able to
learn, there has been little sickness
In our community this winter—a
blesrinsr for which we should be
thankful.
I mink that about every family in
this community will try to raise
turkeys this year, not any large
flocks, unless we have better success

(Literary Digest)
Henry Ford is no fool—certainly
not in running his own business, re-
flects the Springfield Union.
He must see a little further around
that corner where Prosperity is hid-
ing, argues this daily.
For without an increase of buying
power on the part of wage-earners
and salaried people, there would bei
no market for that eight-cylinder j
car and the new four he has Justj
announced. As the New England
paper sees it:
Mr. Ford’s judgment evident-
ly has convinced him that this
purchasing power is shortly to
be restored, and there is good
reason to believe that back of
this judgment there is some-
thing more than mere guess-
work. In other matters he may
be sentimental or even notional,
but not in the conduct of his
business. His new departure is
therefore a hopeful sign.
Hard-headed business men think
they see one of the first definite in-
dications of a business upturn in
this resumption of activity by the
Detroit automobile manufacturer, so
the New York Herald Tribune re-
ports. To quote from the financial
columns of this daily:
Reemployment of workers on
a big scale by the Ford plant
not only insures a substantial
addition to pay-rolls in impor-
tant sections of the country, but
the resumption of production by
the company will reflect favor-
ably in a large number of man-
ufacturing concerns from which
Ford purchases, as well as giving
a stimulus to certain raw-ma-
terial markets.
The delay in production of the
new Ford models not only had
n detrimental effect on the
communities in which Ford
plants were located, but bore
ard. 13 12-100 acres of land out of
Mary A. Sackett survey; $500.

rel cf land in city of Rockdale; $150.
heavily upon the entire auto-
mobile industry.
At the peak of employment in
Ford plants more than 200,000
persons draw wages and salaries,
compared with only a few thous-
ands in the periods when his
plants are idle.
The Ford announcement, we read,
certainly indicates brighter pros-
pects for the automobile industry as
a whole:
The delay In announcement of
the Ford models not only held
ut> the sale of thousands of cars,
for the reason that buyers wish-
ed to see what Ford had to of-
fer; but it held back the plans
of Ford’s competitors. In the
motor car making business the
strategy is to see what the oth-
er fellow has to off*,
one better. *’
