LIBERTY BONDS

No,1o ,.UV.
Bankers generally have expressed
themselves as greatly Interested in
the recent activity in the Liberty bond
market, tho substantial rise in price
tending to indicate that the former low
levels will not again be reached and
that par market or better may soon
be expected for all issues Two is
SucS-thc first and fifth-havc been
quoted above par, and the volume OF
tradins seems to show that the gen
oral public. as we'll as investing cor
porationS is coming more and more to
recognize the sound possibilities in
government securities.
Ono of tho helpful signs, it is point
cd out, is that the bonds of the fourth
issue took Il position well in the lead
in tn recent upward movement The
fourth issue, paying 4 10 per cent,
was the largest loan ever iioated by
the United States government. 1t re-
ccivcd the greatest popular distribu-
tion uncXamplCd efforts being made
to place il in the hands Of persons Of
moderate means. Total subscription
| to this issue amounted to $6,039 ,073,-
210 with a per capita subscription of
$60.51. South Carolina took $39,317,-
$50 OF which Columbia's share aggrc-
gated $3.934 200, moro than $4,000 sub
scribers being in the city.
Bankers say that Liberty bonds, be-
cause they have long terms to run
before reaching maturity, will doubt
less have abundant latitude for ap-
probation after all Of them have at
tanned par market. This is an i'm
pcrativc reason. they say, why small
investors. particularly, should be en-
couraGod to hold the Liberty bonds
they have bought and to buy more as
their savings permit.

RECRUITERS IN LAURENS.

Party OF Army Men Headed by Maj.
SircS, In Lnurcns on Recruiting
Campaign. TO Visit Ncighboring
Towns.
a party Of Regular Army recruit
ers from Camp Jackson arrived in this
city last evening for Il two-wceks'
stay, during which time they will visit
Simpsonville, Clinton, Fountain Inn,
Newbcrry, Tylcrsvillc, Greenwood,
Gray Court md Waterloo
These recruiters having been can
vassing the entire state during tho
summer months in the interest OF gen
eral service, infantry, and have met
with extraordinary success. While
this Is their first visit to Laurens,
they arc confident OF holding up their
reputation while operating in this
territory.
Major Edward b. Sires, Camp Hos
pital, who has by the way, risen from
the ranks, heads the party and has
Scrgt. Timothy G. Rcardon, 10th Inf,
Scrgt. Will J. Griffin, Camp Hospital,
Scrgt. Harry c. Turner, 4Sth Inf,
Corpl. Arthur B. Glenn, Motor Trans
4Sth Inf, all Of whom have had con-
siderable service.
These recruiters arrived in a large
staff touring car Of the type used on
the battle fronts by our army in tho
recent conflict. These cars arc Q pas
senger Whites and are wonderful
piece Of mechanism. They arc opcrat-
cd by the Motor Transport Corps un-
der whose jurisdiction all automotic
bchicles are operated.
The army today, says Major Sircs,
offers wonderful opportunities to
young men seeking an education or
trade. At Camp Jackson, educational
and vocational schools arc being OPP
Grated with heavy enlisted enroll
ment. All the modern studies arc be-
ing taught from primary school cours-
es to and including high school sub
iects. For those qualified, certain
courses are also offered at the Uni
versity Of South Carolina, and all free
to the enlisted man.
In the vocational or trades schools,
carpentry, painting, plastcring, auto
mobile repair and operation, black
Smithing, clerical, electrical and
plumbing are some Of the most promi
ncnt studies offered. Not only does
an enlisted man receive the theOreti-
cal knowledge but also the practical
experience. These courses will, the
Government firmly believes, fit man
for a highly rcmuncrativc position up
on his completion Of his enlisted ser
vice
During their stay at l,aurcnS, the
recruiting party hopes to meet all
former soldiers in this vicinity as they
have splendid message for those men
who have served their country. They
also have some very interesting pro-
positions for any young man or any
parent who cares to talk the matter
over with them.

There is no best breed Of swine.
Some breeds are superior to others in
certain respects and one breed may
be better adapted than another to GER
tain local conditions. The essential
point is that after the farmer has once
decided upon the kind Of hog to raise
he should stick to this decision and
develop the chosen breed to its highest
possible standard. It Is not feasible
for one individual to raise several Diff
ferent breeds and bring them to per-
lection. In making his choice, too. the
farmer should be guided by the kind
of breeds already established in his
locality. II be selects one Of these
he Is not likely to make q mistake.
Two Types Of Swine. -
There are two distinct types Of
swine, namely. the lard and the bacon
types. Swine Of the lard type far OUT
number those of the bacon type In the
United States. The lard type Is pre-.
ferred by the people of this country.
consequently the majority Of feeders
produce a rapid-fattening, heavy
fleshed lard type. The bacon type IS
not raised extensively in the United
States. The production of choice ba.

Ceremony Certainly Saved Bride and

Wedding Finery.

The funniest wedding I ever saw
was when camping last summer, writes
a correspondent of the Chicago Trib-
une. A girl friend and her father
were there and she met young man
whom she grew fond Of in a short
time. One night he asked her father
for her hand, but father objected be-
cause of the short acquaintance. The
next morning the couple met and
planned to elope, but somehow father
got wise," 80 this was spoiled. When
swimming that afternoon they met
again and the girl happened to men,
tion that her father had gone to the
village and would not return until eve
ming. The boy said: "This IL our
time" A minister was on the shore
and they went to him and asked to be
married at once. The ceremony was
performed on the beach, the couple
attired In their bathing suits.

GRAIN CONSUMPTION
VARIES DURING YEAR
Feeding Of Oats Is More Uniform
Than That of Corn.
Barley, Wheat and Rye Approach
Monthly Uniformity In Degree Less
Than oats-s!lage Reaches
Hiah Point in February.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
Whether the suppos!tion is that the
consumption Of corn by live stock on
farms in the United States varies
little from month to month, or that
the summer consumption is relatively
small, the fact, as ascertained by the
bureau of crop estimates. United
States department Of agriculture, is
that during the six months from May
to October nearly three-eighths Of the
years corn ration Is eaten, and from
November to April five-eighths. The
warm-weather fraction will seem large
or small according to the size Of the
guess. Oats, more than corn, is the
feed from April to September, and tho
monthly consumption Of oats is more
uniform throughout the year than that
of corn. Barley, wheat and rye ap-
proach monthly uniformity In degree
less than that of oats throughout tho
year and q concentration of consump'
ton In the colder months is found In
hay, silage and mill feed, as In the
case Of corn.
OF the years entire consumption Of
corn by live stock on farms the high
est consumption in one month is 11.5
per cent in December, and the lowest
4.8 per cent in August. For oats the
highest is 9.8 per cent In April and the
lowest 6.8 per cent in December; bar
ley. highest 100 per cent in November
and lowest 6 per cent in June and also
in July; rye. highest 1913 per cent in
October and lowest IL per cent in
July; wheat, highest III per cent in
November and lowest 5.8 per cent In
July. .. -. s. -
Mill feed consumption says to 4.e
per cent in July and rises to 11.5 per
cent in February and again in March.
More unequal yet is hay consumption,
with it's range from the highest, AZ
per cent in February and also In
March to 80 per cent in August; and
another degree is reached by silage.
the consumption of which rises to 1873
per cent of the years total In Febru.

no sign. Then and there. though. she

lofty indifference with which she treat

his almost ihsultingly perfunctory

after that the sporting editor and the
new feature writer apparently were
unaware of each others existence.
Betty had been on the "Argus'' al
most two weeks before she got q
chance to show what she could do. In
deed, she was beginning to wonder
whether Saunders's idea Of utilizing
a woman writer was to keep her run
ming around to suffrage meetings. get
ting photographs Of "ricllest babies,"
and such like cubs errands, when her
opportunity came.
Down at the South End there was a

to glimpse Betty. q wlstful outsider to
all the hustling work going on. called
to her. "Go and get sob story on the
wives and sweethearts Of the explosion
victims" he said, and turned back to
his schedule.
Betty got the story. Every one Of
the six had had a family. Four Of the
families had been planning to return
60 the old homes In Europe the next
week. The story was full of possibili-
ties. Betty wrote It magnificently, In

limited her to half q column. schedul-
