"Children's Week" will be observed in hundreds of communities in South Carolina from April 27 to May 4. Under the direction of the State, County and District Sunday School Associations, plans have been made for emphasizing during this week the religious training of all children under twelve years of age. South Carolina is joining with all the other State and Provincial Associations in the observance of Children's Week on the above dates. That there is great need of arousing the continent to the spiritual needs of the children is evidenced by the fact that at least thirteen millions of the twenty-five millions of j children under twelve years of age] are receiving no religious education! whatever. It is to help change this alarming condition and make it pos-j sible for all children to receive their j religious rights that the leaders of the International Association sug-' gested this continent-wide observ j ance of Children's Week in the Spring of 1919. It is conservatively ocfimotorl tVinf flioro aro in Smith Carolina 250,000 children not en-' rolled in the Sunday Schools. In a number of communities in1 South Carolina last year Children's' Week was observed with great success,?new pupils being enrolled,' Cradle Rolls organized, Graded Les-j sons introduced, better equipment! secured, and emphasis laid on train-j id workers for the children. Because j of the success of Children's Week in j 1918 in leading whole communities, to think of the spiritual needs of r their children, it is believed thatj he results of the observance this! year will be more marked, as the1 week will be more generally observ-! ed. The program as suggested for the. week included an educational meet-J ing of pastors, teachers, parents and| all others interested in the religious; education of the children* to consider, the needs of the children, and how' these needs are being met in their, community. A pageant emphasizing the rights of hte child in the home and in the community has been pre! | pared, and will be given in a number of towns, as well as in some of he rural commmunities. Canvasses ! will be made to get the names of J children out of the Sunday Schools, j j and follow-up work will be done by. the Sunday Schools immediately.. Institutes, community or school, will be held to study more closely the, .work in the Sunday School, and. how the Sunday School may more! efficiently meet the demands. In. many places some kind of a social meeting is being planned for the children one afternoon during the' week. Any community in "wishing: to join in the movement where no,| leader has been appointed is asked ^ to get in touch with the County or State Association. COST OF WAR TO FRANCE ' MORE THAN 63 BILLION j Paris, April 18.?Careful calcula-[l tions, based upon official returns jl show that the'war cost France the i staggering sum of $63,200,000,000. j It is estimated as follows: Direct costs for the army and na-'j vy munitions, $32,200,000,000; pen-1j sions for widows, orphans and mu- l tilated soldiers, $18,000,000,000; 1 restoration of devastated territory, I $13,000,000,000. |j At 6 per cent, the present inter- j est rate on French national loans, j this represents an annual charge of | $3,800,000,000. : I There are only three ways in j which this huge indebtedness can be j handled, according to the financial j expert of The Matin: 1. Vanquished Germany, which , caused the war. ! 2. The league of nations must assist France financially. 3. France must carry the debt j herself with the danger of national 1 bankruptcy. : I LAURENS COUNTY SHIPS HOGS j Clemson College, April 18.?Lau- j rone Pnnntv fnnlr hor r?1ar>t? loaf i among the list of forward moving counties in the matter of cooperative j hog marketing. Thirty-one farmers shipped 86 hogs weighing 16,222 pounds to the Richmond market. The shipment was the first from Laurens County and was made under' the directions of County Agent M.1 D. Moore, who was assisted by Agri-i cultural intension service men iron^ Clemson College and the C. L W. C.. Railway. Farmers furnished from i one to 21 hogs each. One farmer < shipped nine hogs belonging to one i litter, their age being 14 months and i their combined weight being 3,444 < pounds. ' i The hogs were well graded by the j livestock specialists and the County J Agent in the presence of the owners, i who saw thereby the importance of proper development, and the result ' is sure to be a large proportion of grade one hogs in future shipments.
