Twenty-one months qf our war with

contracts have been cancelled. Man-
bills and receiving payments for ma

heat of the struggle.
Included in the enormous total of
$116,356,000,000 is the sum of $7,876,-
000,000 loaned to the Allies. When we
began Tending to the Allies, the gov
ernment contemplated turning over
to them about $500,000,000 a month
hut actual loans ordinarily ran around
$380,000,000 .monthly.
■Of the total war T ill about $18,000.-
000,000 has been raised so far by the
Liberty Loans. The fact that we have
not covered our war debt is the rea
son for the Vic tory Liberty Loan. I*
other words we haven't paid for tha
job.
The cost of the war to Great Brit
ain was $40.'640,000.000. Germany is
out $3.8.750,000,000 exclusive of indem

FOX TROTS ON
LIBERTT LEGS
Limbs Blown Off by Shell, But
This Man Continues to Trip
Light, Fantastic Toe to Jazz
Accompaniment.
Lillard Evans is a colored soldier
boy who had both legs blown off in
action. He lives for the present at
Letter-man General Hospital at the
Presidio in San Francisco. He can
and does dance fox trots and one
steps. How? Why?
Of course to -dance a fox trot or
a one-step a fellow has to have legs—
good legs. Well. Evans has them—
not his own legs of flesh and bone,
but his own willow legs with joints
and everything. He is going to leave
Letterman pretty soon and go back to
work and make his Bring and prob
ably get married and raise children.
That’s the how.
The why of it is—the government
of the United States has gone in for
leg and arm making. Jbt is giving a
specially built leg or arm or hand or
a pair of legs or arras or hands to ev
ery soldier who lost his legs or arms
in the war. At Letterman in particu
lar they are making Liberty legs and
arms and hands in their own work
shop. They are making them because
they have hit upon a better artificial
limb than some manufacturers were
turning out.
This is one phase of the reconstruc
tion work that Uncle Sam is quietly
carrying on. It is one of the least ex
pensive. but it is costing hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Remember that
when Uncle Sam comes a-knocking at
your door with the Victory Liberty
Loan. Much of the money you will
lend is going to regenerate ttaeee
men who gave, of their flesh, and blood
for'their country.

First fartoad Shipment of Hogs Made
out of Laurens 4 Conntj Monday.
Fine Showing of Pork.
For the first time in the history of
Laurens a carload shipment of home
bred hogs was made from here Mon
day morntng undeiSvthe direction of
County Farm Demonstrator^ D. M.
Moore. The shipment had been ar
ranged for several weeks before and
ea.ly Monday morning wagons and
TrffWTTreorYH? Bounty com-
menced to aVrive. / Farmers from the
extreme edges of the county were here
with loads varying from two to ten
hogs, the shipment being made to
Richmond on consignment to Klngan
& Company, who had handled several
other shipments for county demon
strators in other sections of the state.
The shipment was made in the name
of the Enterprise National Bank
which institution will receive the
check for the hogs and distribute the
money out among those who were in
terested in the shipment.
According to the records kept by Mr.
Moore, 76 hogs were shipped by 31
farmers, the total weight being 16,22-
pounds. Of these twenty-two graded
No. 1, thirty-six No. 2, and twenty-
eight No. 3. As the first and second
grades weighed much more than the
third grade, the' average grade of tlv
shipment was rather high. Mr. Moore
stated yesterday that he. is already
laying plans for other shipments in
the fall, when he hoped to make car-
A large number of people were at
the freight yards all day watching the
weighing and loading of the hogs ami
a great deal of enthusiasm was arous-
•' *»
ed by the unusual sight of so many
Laurens county porkers. Chief inter
est was centered in the two wagon
loads of hogs brought here by Mr. W.
H. Hatton, of Clinton. Mr. Hatton
'had nine large porkers, all from one
litter and having a total weight o r
3,444 pounds or over a fifth of the en
tire shipment. Mr. Hattop. stated that
he raised these hogs on home-grown
corn in Jacks township. They were
greatly admired by all who saw them.
