NOT AS BIG AS

Twenty-one months OF our war with

FOX TROTS ON

Lillard Evans is n colored soIdier

action. He lives for the present at
Letterman General Hospital at the
Presidio in San Francisco. He can
and does dance fox trots and one
steps. How? why,
or course to dance a fox trot or
a one-step fellow has to have legs
good legs. Well. Evans has them
not his own legs Of flesh and bone.
hut his own willow legs with Joints
and everything lie is going to leave
l.ett"rman pretty soon and go back to
work and make his living and prob.
ably get married and raise children.
That's the how.
The why Of it is-the government
OF the United States has gone in for
leg and arm making 1t is giving a
specially built leg or arm or hand or
pair OF legs or arms or hands to ev
cry soldier who lost his legs or arms
in the war. At Letterman in particu
lar they are making Liberty legs and
arms and hands in their own work
shop. They are making them because
they have hit upon better artificial
limb than some manufacturers were
turning out.
This Is one phase Of the reconStruc
tion work that Uncle Sam is quietly
carrying on. II Is one OF the least cx
pensive. but it is costing hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars Remember that
when Uncle Sam comes a-knocking at
your door with the Victory Liberty
Loan. Much OF the money you will
lend is going to regcnerate these
men who gave OF their flesh and blood
for their country.

Atlantic City to Have First Air Por

The first "air port" ever establish
ed will be constructed at Atlantic
City, n. j., in connection with the
second Pan American Acronautical
Exposition and Convention, to be
held there next month, according to
plans just announced by the Aerial
League of America through it's secre-
tary, Augustus Post.
In a statement discussing the needs
which the establishment of such an
'air port" would fill, Mr.. Post de-
clared that it would above all "sct an
example which, if followed by ap-
proximately 100 cities in the United
States in the near future, will sup
ply the aerial transportation this
country needs; will keep American
acronautics to the forefront will
give employment to a large number
of army and navy airmen, aeronautic
engineers and mechanics who have
been demobilized; will permit the
utilization and salvage Of war aero
nautical material worth millions and
will insure the United States from
again being caught unprepared in
the event Of war"

A BALLAD OF THE GREAT
UNMoVED

The doughboy sauntered the Great
White Way
| A huge buck private, length six
foot three.
He had fought and bled in the Ar
gonne fray,
And he twice had traversed the
trackless sea-
He took in the sights with a casual
eye,
He rubbed his chin, and he cooked
his head,
And he turned to his buddy, who
ambled close by,
$50 this is New York, eh?" the
doughboy said.
He was tanned and seasoned and self
contained;
He had seen the world and had sat
on it, too;
And he felt at home where the shrap-
mel rained,
Or in innermost sanctums at
G.H.Q.
A patriot trotted along by his side
And gave his broad shoulders a
loving pat.
"Well, how was the war;" the civilian
cried;
And the answer was merely,
(Which war was that?"
He braved the motors with measured
tread;
He rode on the busses, decidedly
bored;
The subway ratified and rocked in
it's bed;
Great blasts exploded; the can
yons roared;
The jazz bands screeched from the ca
barets;
The sirens walled and the muf1lcrs
barkcd
But the big buck private they could
not fazc;
at sounds some familiar" he
calmly remarked.
They rode him around in a sight-scc
ing car;
They showed him the statues and
monuments grand
They toured the Museum, Che looked
for the bar;)
They praised this picture, the 9TH
er one panncd.
The Bowery, Chinatown, properly
damcd,
He took them all in with a gaze
auStcrc.
"Well, wasn't it wondcrful?" ladies
exclaimed.
And he answered, "Whcre do we 30

But his leave was soon up, and his
cash declined,
And he wcaricd Of clubs and can
"Well, it's quite some burg" his bud
dy opined,
Though there amt no fields for

Then the doughboy answered, "You

grand;
But it's me for the soil where the
Suntlowcrs grow,
For the old mans farm is sure

The Price of Cotton

| Ex-Governor Manning Of South
Caroline is in Paris to look after cot
ton demand and cotton prices.
Advising j. r. Wannamaker, ir
charge Of the South Carolina cam
paign for cotton acreage reduction
Governor Manning says that
Europe lacks money and credit
with which to buy cotton, and that
If a big acreage is planted, and big
crops raised, the farmers can expect
no more than 8 and 10 cents next fall
and winter.
Governor Manning is a very con-
servative gentleman, very well in
formed, very reliable in all his state
mcnts. He has made this statement
after careful study Of the European
situation, and surely the people
5hould be warned by his advice.
No man is more Interested in the
prosperity of the farmers of the
south than Ex-Governor Manning,
and when he puts out such storm sig
nails as these, it were high time that
our people sought safety in the har-
Dor of more food crops and less cot
ton.
The farmers Of the South have the
situation actually in their hands.
They can be prosperous next year by
producing foodstuffs and such
things as the world must have, or
they can be pauperized by planting
big crop of cotton and being forced
TO sell 1T at runious price.
There is not farmer in the South
but knows that 10 to 12-cent cotton
means loss to them if not ruin and
anything under 10 cents means a
very bad condition for them. The
present price of labor, and evcrythin,
that the farmer must buy, makes it
impossible for farmers to raise cotton
at such prices as they once sold it for
and to. fail to produce food crops,
depending on flour, for instance,
made from wheat at $2.25 per bushel
and corn meal from corn at over a
dollar a bushel, and meat from hogs
at from Sl5 to. $r8 per hundred
pounds means condition in the
South that would bring distress and
want on every hand.
Heed the storm signal of ex-Gover-
nor Manning, and other reliable lead
ers of the South. Plant more corn
more potatoes, more Of everything
that supplies food, and less of cot
ron. A short crop means longer
.Iricc.
Peace will probably be signed in a
few weeks. A condition of peace
will probably prevail by next autumn
When that occurs, and the worlds
markets are opened to cotton, the de-
mand will undoubtfully be increased
ABOVE what it is at present, but if the
supply is also increased, it will ex-
cecd the demand, and put the price
down to a ruinous figure.
Foodstuffs are high, and indica-
lions are that they will be higher rath
or than lower. No farmer can make
mistake by raising foodstuffs in
stead of cotton.-The Augusta Chron-
iclc.
