the fine discipline OF the soldiers and

is still disputed by the Bolsheviki.
Ukraine has long been known as the
greatest wheat raising section Of Eu-
rope, and the Germans are said to
have been building hopes on the
peace as means Of getting food; but
II is claimed that the wheat supplies
OF the Ckruain have been exhausted,
and that there Is nothing to spare.
The Bolsheviki Is still fighting the
Ckrainians and IL is not yet certain
which side will win out; but the as
sistance Of Germany on the side OF
the Ckranians will have heavy weight
in the balance. The Ckranians num-
ber more than thirty millions souls.

The senate came very near to pass
ing resolution TO submit to the
people the question Of calling con-
stitutional convention. \ two-thirds
majority was needed for the passage
Of the resolution: and II failed by
only two votes. The alleged motive
of those who desire a constitutional
convention is to arrange for BIZ
ennial session Of the general assem-
bly,: but the real purpose is most like
ly to make more easy the cutting up
Of the state into smaller counties.
This was not emphasized. But wheth-
er one consideration or the other.
this is very unpropitious time-now
when the country should be giving
every thought to the prosecution OF
the war-to go into the very serious
work of revising the fundamental law
Of the state.

MORE FINE PIGS

Demonstration Agents Blair and
McKeown will soon have very at
tractive offer 10 make to enterprising.
substantial York county boys who are
willing to do their share in the re-
habitation Of the hog raising indus
try in this section.
The proposition originated with the
extension work OF Clemson college.
backed by the State Bankers associa-
tion. and other business people who
are willing to risk a little cash in the
promotion OF a most important inter-
est are going in.
The immediate object in view is
To secure the scattering about over
York county of number of pure
bred registered hogs of approved
breeds, and to attain that, the bank
ers and others are to furnish the
money and the enterprising boys as
sisted by their fathers. are to do the
work, and get the benefit Of whater-
cr profit may accrue.
through Mr. Long, Is to secure as
many hogs as the business people OF
York county will agree to pay for.
These are to be hogs of not less than
eight months old. They are to be
immune from cholera and they are
to be registered. Gilts are to cost
not exceeding s35 and bOars are not
to cost exceeding $50.
The business folks are to pay for
the hogs and the boys are to see what
can be done with them. under a con-
tract that will bind the boys to breed
.h- -giJts and gixGntt3 the owners two
SOW pigs between 8 and 10 weeks old.
Upon the delivery Of these two pigs
to the people who pay for the origin
al SOW. the original SOW becomes the
property Of the boy who had charge
Of it
II any OF the original pigs die in
the hands OF the boys before there is
any increase, and such death Is in
nowise due to the negligence or other
fault OF the boy, then the loss falls
upon the firm or individual who paid
for the pig.
Any boy who prefers to own his
pig outright from the beginning with
out further obligation to the original
purchaser. will be allowed to do 80
on payment of the original purchase
price. There is no desire on the part
of the contributors to the movement
to make any profit out of II, either
directly or indirectly. Their only con-
Germ Is to be Of assistance In stimu-
lating interest in the raising Of pure
bred hogs in York county.
The different concerns that have

THE GENERAL BUSINESS FIELD

A return to more normal conditions
in business has resulted from the re-
cent tempering of the rizor of winter
weather, altho the recurrence of a cold
wave in some sections has tended to
hinder the process Of recovery. With
the continued absence of further gen.
eral and severe storms, however, the
arrangement Of production and distri-
button IS steadily lessened, and ap-
probably larger shipments Of raw
materials and merchandise reflect the
lock.
Not only has there not yet appeared
the hoped-for revival Of activity in
leather, but the market on some
descriptions, in sympathy with the
further yielding of certain varieties OF
hides. continues to move in buyers
favor and tanners seem disposed to
consider all reasonable offers.
Better news from dry goods centers
has continued, the eeffcts OF the recent
| modration Of the weather now being
more clearly apparent in improved
transportation conditions and in a re-
vival Of retail trading. With COM
paratively few exceptions, there Is a

Now in this story I'm going to tell
you how Billy Bunny's cousin, little
Jack Hare, escaped from the tMiller's
Dog And he never would have had
it not been that his eyes had the pow
er of seeing things In the rear. 1t was
wonderful gift that loving Mother
Nature had given him, this power to
see things tehind as well as In front.
for in this way little Jack Hare could
keep on running swiftly without turn
ing his head to see how close the enemy
was to his long hind legs. And when
he is about to be caught he can sud-
denly turn around. run and go the OPP
posite direction, and often escape be-
ing caught.
And now that you know something
about little Jack Hare. I'll tell YOU how
he came to DC chased by the Miller's
Dog.
You see. Billy Bunny was more care
ful about going too near the Old Mill,
for he had been chased several times,
but little Jack Hare VINO lived some
distance from, the Old Bier Patch,
at the Old Mill So one day. as he was
hopping along near the Old Mill Pond,
out came the Miller's Dog and started
after the little hare. Well. away he
went as fast as he could, but the Mil
ler's Dog was a fast runner, and pref
ty soon little Jack Hare could see that
it was only a question Of few min
utes when he would be caught. So.
all Of a sudden, just as he reached
the Babbling Brook, he turned sharply
about and made off for the Old Brier
Patch.
And Oh dear me. but Tn awfully
glad. just the same. That Miller's Dog
couldn't stop in time and over the
