LIP READING.
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

(The Birmingham Ledgtr.)
Did you ever see a fly on the wall?
Yes, and she looks quite innocent

a sore on baby's mouth?
? J.
JjliQl IS quite umereiib, uixauoc
;hat fly carries diseqje germs. It may

nay be infantile paralysis. As the

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.

four to six batches a season. They

flies. In 60 short days the descendants

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

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. In addition we have

"We cannot look to Europe again
for capital to develop the natural
resources of the United States. 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."

MORE SWEET POTATO
% STORAGE HOUSES ;
.' ' '% "< " " '
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-''
