Speech Strangely Restored.

Antoine Dumas, a farmer living
near YssiL geaux, who for three years
had been without the power of speech,
was cured In an unusual manner with
out the cost Of a cent. Dumas served
In the French artillery during the
war. During n Of the heavy bonn
bardments his voice ceased to func-
ton, and although scores of army
doctors tried to aid him, no ore had
ever been able to restore his power
Of speech. While working in the hay
loft Of his barn he. slipped and fell
to the ground. Farm hands who ran
to his aid discovered that while his
only injury va a sman bump at the
back of the head, Dumas was able to
curse as loudly and colorfully as the
rest of the farmers.

FORTY.THREE MILLION LIVES
Lost to World Through the Great
War, According to Figures Given
by Statistician.

A study of the different statistics OF
the actual and potential loss of life
due to the recent war reveals the fact
that about fOrty-three million lives
have been lost to the world either d.
rectly from the war or from causes
induced by 1t, Richard ?. Strong, NJ.
D., writes in the North American Re-
view. These losses are made up OF,
first, approximately 100000 deaths
which occurred in the military serv'
ice; secondly, q surplus mortality
above that which occurred in normal
times in the civilian populations
amounting to approximately 1O,OOO,0OO,
due to epidemic and other diseases,
privation, hardship, physical exhaus-
ton, and similar causes; and thirdly,
a potential loss of 20,000,0O0 lives
luc to the decreased birth frequency
below that which occurred under nor
NAL conditions before the war. The
adult male population in many Euro
pean countries has been reduced by
from ID to 90 per. cent. The figures OF
Alonzo Taylor show us that there are
between 50,OOO,OOV and GO,O0O,O0O peo-
pie in Europe who have lost their
prewar occupations owing to the fact
that the markets for their, products
no longer exist, having been changed
or taken away from them by other
countries. Many Of these people have
or soon will become refugees in Eu-
rope, among which class of people not
only poverty and hardship, but also
disease always reigns, resulting in a
high increase in death rate and de-
crease in birth rate.

"A PRETTY TEACHER BEST"

Chicago.-Ability of likely look
ing teachers to smile "book learn
ing" into the unwilling minds OF
pupils is the salvation of the Ameri-
can public school system.
Edward j. Tobin, who is respon-
Gble for the education of Cook
County children, and two thousand
teachers under him, confided this to-
day. Tobin's desk was covered with
: designations from teachers who are
about to be pulled from pedagogy
into matrimony by the call of spring
All of which started Tobin musing
about education in general and the
dispensers of it in particular.

they are no good as teachers. If

and marries them.
"I'm glad things are like that,
though T don't want teachers who
are l~ove-proof. Ability to fall in

sionally-makes them better suited

SHORT COURSE FOR CLUB BOYS
Clemson Offers Attractive Course.
For Young Farmers.

C..amscG College, April-Clemson
College will give again this yea: a
short course for club boys, extend
ing from July IL to July % inclu-
sive. The course as being planned by
DR.. F. H. H. Calhoun, director of
resident teaching of the agricultural
department., and his associates will
be even better than in previous years.
Plans are being; made to make the
instruction much more practical than
W before and to make the recrea-
ton much more interesting and
beneficial.
Instruction. will be given in corn
growing, livestock, plant and animal
diseases, injurious insects orchard
and garden work, farm machinery,
etc. The livestock work includes
dairy cattle, beef cattle, hogs and
sheep: Training in judging livestock
and in judging corr will be an i'm
portant part of the practical work.
Special attention will be given in the
farm machinery work to the use of
tractors and other improved farm
implements and machines.
Plans for recreation during the
short course include not only ath-
letics, such as baseball, basketball,
track work and swimming, but also
field trips to places of interest, and
moving pictures and other forms of
entertainment.
The short course is open to any
South Carolina club boy, including
boys who are in the work for the
first time in 1921, and the college
hopes to have a large number of
club boys attend. Club boys other
than the 1920 club members who
won scholarships from their respec-
tive counties to the short course are
urged to attend
The prize winners from the vari-
Gus counties attend the short course
free of cost. Other club boys will have
only the small expense of S1.00 per
day, which covers absolutely all ex-
pense charges. In 1920 there were a
good many club members who attend
ed the short course by payment Of
this small charge Of $1.O0 per day,
the officials of the college as well as
the agents in club work are anxious
to see a big and enthusiastic crowd
Of club boys at the 1921 short
course.

UNCLE SAM SOMETIMES
HAS TROUBLE GETTING
RID OF COIN ALSO

Washington, April 26-The gov
eminent, which lately has been hav-
ing difficulties in getting money, also
occasionally encounters difficulty in
getting rid of it. The latter difficulty
faces the Agriculture Departments
Bureau of Markets which is trying to
distribute half a million dollars a.
mong wool growers and distributors.
The job has been dragging along for
months without coming to an end.
Under wartime price regulations,
the government bought all the wool
produced in the United States, fixed
the commission to all dealers and
buyers, and undertook to see that
the sheepmen got the exact amount
due them On their flock growth. In
view of the tremendous weight of
wool handled, small mistakes in
weights and estimates accrued during
the two years the system was oper-
.ated and in the end the adult of the
joint accounts showed that dealers
had $556,013.98 on hand in excess of
their allotted profits and commits
SONS. This, it was decided, should
go back to the producers, in accord
ance with the amount of wool they
furnished the government. But it has
proven easier to decide the problem
than to work it.
The government to date has distrib-
uted s101,569.62 to 34,530 wool
growers. Most of the excess profits
originated in the territory east of the
Mississippi River, where small sheep
aocks are somewhat of a side line for
farmers. Big producers in the West
were easily accounted for.
The government thus is up against
the job of paying the money out in
amounts ranging from 80 cents up
wards to S.. Also, it has been discov-
cred that while $500 country buyers
took out proper licenses and come
under regulation. 1859 .storekeepers,
bankers, and other bought small lots
OF wool, but didn't handle enough to
acquaint themselves of the require
ments. The balance of the half mil
lion is likely to lay in the treasury
for indefinitely as a consequence

SHORTAGE OF $4,000 is
FOUND IN BOSTON TREASURY

Boston, April 21-A shortage in
the city treasury of $4,000 became
known today as a result of an audit
ordered by City Treasurer Thomas W
Murray on the eve of his retirement
from office.
The shortage was found in the &C
counts of Thomas ]. o'Daly, Mayor
Peters said.
O'Daly who had been thirty-fve
years in the city service had been
named by the mayor as the new city
treasurer: Mayor Peters said he ex-
pected to have a statement later in
the day from O')aly who was said to
be i'll at his home.
The audit is continuing, according
to Arthur D. Hill, corporation counsel
and the discrepancy of $4,000 which
has been disclosed, may be revised.
