Cooper, of South Carolina, speaking here today, said he has come to the conclusion that the United Statse should cancel the war debts of the allies to this coun try. "I have never said this before," he continued, "but I believe the best policy for this country in the j readjusment of world conditions would be cancellation > of the war claims against France and Eng land. "These countries are unable to pay even the interest on these debts at this time and nobody can say when they will be able to pay the principal." The governor said the paramount problem in this country is the ad* justment of our internal relations, all else is secondary consideration and the most positive and deter mined effort should be made to have the United States take its place with the other countries of the world in the effort to restore confi dence and normal conditions. - CHILD IN LAURENS *" BURNS TO DEATH Fir* Catcbe* Bale* of Cotton While Little Girl Hunt* Hen'* Ne?t Laurens, April 9.?The five year old daughter of a white fanner by t&e name of Roe, living : out near Poplar Springs church, in the wes tern part of the county, was burned to dea^h when am outbuilding on the place was consumed by fire a few days ago, according to'informa tion received here.

MANY BIRDS RETURN TO SAME LOCATION AFTER CAIITUrDN WINTPR HHMF. Urbana, III., April 7.?Though many birds migrate as far south as ? Central and South America, it has been found by actual test that many { of them return to the same localities and sometimes ^ven to the same nest. | Results of inquiry' in the Middle West and South covering a number of years are reported by Frank Smith, professor of zoology at the I University of .Ilinois, in the annual J Illinois Arbor day and Bird book. | Facts were obtained by trapping | birds, placing small leg bands on I them, and letting them go. Here are ! some of the things Professor Smith records: A catbird banded near Cleveland, 0., in i914 was retaken in the same locality the following year. Two cat [birds banded in 1916 were retaken j in 1917, pnd one of them was again taken in 1919' Catbirds winter as far south as Panama. A chimney swift banded in 1916 was retaken in the same chimney the following year. Chimney swifts winter wholly south of the United States. A tiny house wren banded in 1915 was retaken in 1916 and found to 'be using the same nest box that it had occupied the preceding year, in rearing its second brood of thatj summer. House wrens winter in the! south Atlantic and gulf states. Tests at ThomasviUe, Ga., withj birds classed as "winter residents" | because they fly into the northern1 states and into Canada during the summer months showed thefee re sults: Eight chipping sparrows banded in 1916 were all retaken in 1917. Three chipping sparrows were re taken in 1917 that had been banded | in 1915. Several myrtle warblers' and white-throated sparrows banded in 1916 were retaken the following year.

KNITTING CRAZE HAS PASSED One of the big department stores in New York no longer carries yam for sale. Many fashionable Fifth avenu$ establishments that formerly had large space for yam' displays now have only small corners. Those who are in positibn to know say the home knitting craze has waned so fast as to startle them. Here's how one of the yarn men reviews the situation. "During the war, as a matter of patriotism, everyone was knitting on trains, trolleys, subways, in res taurants, offices and at home. I've even heard of women knittin? in church. Many who learned to knit then will continue to want wool, but they are to be found among the old er people. With the end of the waT the younger folk, instead of using khaki or gray, turned to bright coirs,?but they are tiring of that now. It must ever be something ne-w with the young, you know. So fs.r as they are concerned, knitting; no longer appeals." , What he says about the elderly girls remaining faithful to their yarn is true. If you had any doubt you would have had it dispelled had you been at the meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania raliroad in Philadelphia the other day. Many of^the stockholders are women of mature age. One of them sat from start to finish knitting, knitting, knitting. Maybe she paid attention to the proceedings, for knitting cornea to be almost mechanical, but whether she did or not, one think is certain. She never stopped. And she never missed a stitch. philadelphia has an all-american e>ay Philadelphia, April 7.?'Philadel phia today celebrated all-American day with General Pershing, Ad mirals Benson, Sims and Coontz and Governor Sprout among the guests of honor.
