A NEWBPAPKJt DEVOTEU K LOCAL ANL GENERAL H*WH AND THE INTERESTS OF CEDAR- VILLE AND VICINITY. FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR NO. 19. CEDARVILLE, W ! 0 . FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1924 PRICE. $1.50 A YEAR WILL HENRY FORD ERECTNEWTOWN South Chadeaton haa had her upc and downs like many other town*- Today South Charleston's “ship” seema to have anchored in the hay awaiting1 signal for port that her cargo of riches might be unloaded. This time ia Is the good ship “Henry Ford", not exactly a peace ship o f recently history 'but in reality a vessel coveted by all Small towns that dream of metropolitan growth and wealth over night. Last week wo told of Henry Ford purchasing 7GQacres of land north of South Charleston for railroad puiv poses and' repair shops that would . employ several hundred men. Besides this purchase Ford has options on a- bout 2,000 acres more which only cause* speculation among South Charleston folk and makes farmers in Madison township wish that he would include all the territory at prices said to have been paid for the first ' 700 acres. Meantime South Charleston folk ■are much excited oyer recent .events,- particularly this week when head railroad officials accompanied by Mr. Ford’s first secretary and confidential advisor visited the site. Some have it that Mr. Ford not only ’ 'will straighten his railroad and elim­ inate-a bad curve and build shops but that he has in mind the erection of a huge plant to assemble, automobiles. Rut with this goes a condition that may not cause South Charleston to- prepare for the arrival of the “good ship Foid”, He may have in mind the erection of a model city, a second Dearborn, for his employees, But all .that is in the air this time and causes South Charlestonto build a few castles. Great things, are predicted by her town people no mat­ ter what Ford does with his 700 acres •'forevery "townWould be proud to have the auto king as a neighbor. Even though a new town might go up as by magic yet South Charleston figures much better and bigger days ahead. I f you think different journey to the village and try to purchase a piece of property or a merchantile' business.

Some enthusiasts out West stimu­ lated by large pocketbooks. have in- dieted Senator Wheeler trying to dis- courage his able investigating. By -this time they probably regret it, ‘for tbe "Senator is investigating TIIEM to find out just what and who are behind the indictment. Washington knows that when Senator Wheeler entered public life in Montana lie found two political parties out there, one called Repub­ lican, one celled Democratic, both . owned by copper mirieB. When he ventured to oppose the copper capitalist he was informed that -ho would be run out of Mon- ■tana. But he had other plans, got himself elected to the Senate of the United States; and now the people are hearing from him, Even the fattest pocketboofc ought ,to realize that this is fib time for financial “rough stuff.” Dr. Chapman, excellent scientific worker for the American Museum of Natural History, returns from the •Andes mountains bringing a bird that brayslike a .donkey and‘a duck that can't fly; ' ■ Before amazement carries you away at thought of a duck that can’t fly, ask yourself how many human beings there are that can’t think? _N«w York is proud, learning.from United States authorities that New York’s port handled more than one- half o f .the total ocean passenger jtraffle of the United States, Seattle, •(Boston and San Francisco were next. Well, that’s to-day’s news. How long do yon suppose it will be before Jacksonville, Fla,, and. Dos Angeles bothhave an ocean traffic bigger than 'that of which New York is so proud * to-day? This country is only start­ ing, and the really big port* and cities are still to find their place. Those that rule the oil market say there won't be any big.advance, in gasoline prices this Spring because •“muddy roads Will- hold down the ■nrlre.” Muddy roads diminish au- tomobning, fces* . autoraobiling ■means smaller demands for gas, and smaller demands means that the rulers don’t put up the. price. In other words, .“What will the traffic bear?” not “ TVhat does, the $a«oline costF* is the important Question. Henry Ford will buy a trolley line connecting Muscle Shoals with the Gulf *t Pemweola, Fla., according to report, He might utilize the gaa engine trolley ear that he once showed this writer in bis Dearborn laboratory. Eight in build, his car could cross the Continent at .the ratq of sixty miles an hour without tak­ ing on fuel, and at less than hall the present cost of transportation, That ought to interest railroad men now. If It doesn't, the kind or com- petition it will give them will Inter­ est them latent-and TOO late. Robert D, Tpwfle says religion is handicapped by a “lack of gopd news.” There are no more firm as­ surances, such as the one given to Peter and Andrew: “Follow me, and I will make you* fishers of men.” There are no definite as­ sertions about hell, if yon are wick­ ed, and heaven, if you behave. Clergymen split hairs. Each one believes a part and denies a part. The simple mind wants to believe everything;. Perhaps a few miracles would help to revive faith and fill the churches. . Suppose the Rev. Dr. Straton should say: “I warn you dissenting clergymen that you are all bound for perdition, and to f rove it I shall now change Dr. ones into a stick of peppermint candy.” Would not that convert all if Dr. Jones did stiffen up and slowly turn •into striped pepper­ mint? You’d think so,' but the human heart is hard. You remember the Arabian philosopher, who said to the holy man: “You may say to me, ‘Twice two are five, and to prove.-it I’ll turn this walking stick into a live^erpent* but, even if you Change your stick into a serpent, I’ll stillway, that is interesting, but twice two .are not five.” A gorilla, just arrived, is living in a fine New York hotel. How it would surprise him if his dull, ’ worried brain could realize that the hotel was built, according tp Dar­ win, by the gorillas, a small, feeble tribe of his own delations, weak in muscle, teeth and daws, and there­ fore, compelled to think. Thinking, they became rulers of the world. Frederick Landis says that this country, instead of admitting go-, villas that come here to die of ‘ homesickness, ought to admitmore of the right kind of European im­ migrants that'would come here to build up the. United State* and . LIVE.

INSURANCE PLAN ! -The American Legion has endorsed the insurance plan of the soldier fed­ eral bqnus bill and it is predicted that . the bill will pass the Senate without ' much opposition.
