Uncle Sam is spending millinos ;hat the boys maimed in the war may become self supporting, independent nembers of society. He is not baffled ay any force of disability, says Samuel Hopkins in the Red Cross magasine, telling of what he saw in varijur reconstruction hospitals. An interesting though simple re:onstruction work is that dealing turith overcoming the handicap suffered by soldiers who lost their hearing. They are, of course, taught lip reading, and with what success may be judged from the letter of a stonedeaf patient who returned to his borne after an intensive course in lip rading, determined not to let his family know the nature of his "wound." After forty hours at home the doughboy wrote: "I have them buffaloed yet. But I svent out after lucnh to get a paper, and when I came in I sat down with : my back to the door, like a simp, to read it. My sister came in quietly and spoke to me four times behind my back. Then she came around in front and I saw her say: 'What's the matter with you, are you deaf, or are pou just trying, to have some fun tvith me?' So I had to own up. But [ don't think they half believe it ret." V rHE DESCENDANTS | \ OF THE HOUSE FLY I (The Birmingham Ledgtr.) Did you ever see a fly on the wall? Yes, and she looks quite innocent lp there. Did you ever see her on the id of baby's nursing bottle, or suckUg a sore on baby's mouth? ? J. JjliQl IS quite umereiib, uixauoc ;hat fly carries diseqje germs. It may >e typhoid, it may be tuberculosis, it nay be infantile paralysis. As the >ee carries healthy {fallen from one lower to another, and fills the earth vith blossom and fruit the fly carries leath fi'om the infected to the uninfected and fills charnel houses and lewmade graves. How about the wisdom of swatting he few flies that are beginning to ippear? Is is important? In the light ?f the fly's fecundity it is.

They hatch in ten days into full* grown flies. In 60 short days the descendants of one mother can multiply into 650,000,000. Rather advisable to swat the mother fly, is it not? If it is, patch up the worn screen doors and windows. Gel the fly swatters and fly powders and go to it. Remember that every dead fly now means prevention of an increment of 650,000,000 of others in 60 days. . t . U. S. DEBT CONVERTED INTO A CREDI1 America's pre-war debit in Europe of six billions. dollars has been con verted into a'post-war credit of eighl billion dollars, aftording to a statement made by Lewis B. Franklin, director o? the War Loan Organization of the United States Treasury. "The money we owed Europe a1 the outbreak, of the war had gone into our transcontinental railroads the up-buildnig of our cities and public works" he said. "Securities foi our loan were held in England, France, Holland and Germany. "Since that time we have boughi back fouf billion dollars worth oi these securities and loaned privatelj to Europe two billions more equalizing accounts.

Europe is looking to us as the creditoi nation, and employers are ' looking to the people of the United State: for the money to make further dev? elopment possible. "That is the aim the governmenl has in mind when it wants to perpetrate the savings idea that originated during the war period. Now thai we can no. longer look to Europe te send us money for the development of our natural resources the United States government is ready to go into a campaign to foster and .encourage the ideas of 'careful spending and the elimination of waste."

' '% "< " " ' I -? 1 Why should South Carolina * build more storage houses? aika Mr. Geo. 1 P. Hoffman, Extension horticulturist. He answers the question him self with some facts and figures given below. The total'averse annual . acreage in sweet potAtoe^ f<5fc South Carolina during .the last teiti years was 58,500 acres, The total . acre1 age of annual production was ~ 5,482,800 bushel, or. tin averse , of 93 ' bushels per acre. The total value of the crop at $1. ' per bushel has therefore averaged $5,432,300. It is estimated that the ; _ loss resulting from poor storage has averaged not less than* 50:p?r cent, whcih means a loss annually of 2, 716,150 busneis, or an equal numDer > of dollars. . ' Considering the above *fig?tres with reference to production < anct losses, ; Mr. Hoffmann figures as follows "6n , t the necessary, and related question, . "Does South Carolina feed herself . * * . 'V-/. r' with sweet potatoes?" The a#imat. ed number of families in South. Car' , olina at the last census was 515,204. Allowing 1-2 bushel per family per l week, wei have a consumption weekly ( I of 157,602 bushels^ which fqr a sea- , , son of seven months would total 4,. 780,594 bushels. ' t ; Now the ten year average of the i sweet potato crop, as stated above, is 5,432,300 bushels, which being cut in half by a 50 per cent, loss leaves ; 2,716,150 bushels to supply ?the need ' of 4,780,594 bushels. This is the I same as saying that the availabto .i ; sweet potato production in South j i Carolina falls short of the need for ; human Consumption by 2,054,444. A .7 I simple study of the abo*e figures does not require very great mathe matical genius to see i that South : Carolina should build Smore sweet ? potato storage< houses to keep the i potatoes grown and 'should grow more potates to fill the storagei hous- ' _ es built, ' ;y-'' t aw, r y ; ... , '* , I - i * : :A" ; ' Furnishings...
