MUST READ AND WRITE TO GET
PAROLE GRANTED NOW

To aid the fight on illiteracy In
this State the State Board of Control
OF Charitable and Penal Institutions
has adopted a rule that all inmates
of penal institutions must be able to
read and write before their applica-
lions for parole will be considered.
Moonlight schools have been estab-
lished in the penal institutions and
recognizing the good that has been
accomplished through this medium,
the Board entered the following
rule:
Whereas, Kentucky is now en-
gagged in an effort to stamp litter
acy out of the State, and,
"Inasmuch as instructors and IA
cilities for teaching are now fur
nished the inmates of the penal instf-
tutions under control Of the board,
and all are given the opportunity to
learn to read and write, it Is there
fore ordered by the State Board Of
Control, that one of the essential
perquisites to a parole shall be that q
prisoner shall be able to read and
write. and the board therefore adopts
this rule, that hereafter all inmates
shall be able to read and write be-
fore their application for parole viii
be considered"

RED CROSS HOME SERVICE TO
CARE FOR SOLDIERS

ers are not going to lose sight of any
discharged disabled soldiers, accord
ing to new plan being carried out
by Lake Division headquarters,
American Red Cross. Here's how
they took care of one Ohio doughboy.
Homer Andrews, who had been a
coal miner, went over the top in a
great drive and was gassed. The
poison affected his lungs. After six
months in a hospital in Europe he
was sent back to a hospital in this
county, better, but not able to go
back to the mine. Red Cross hos
pital workers sent his name and ad-
dress to the After-Care Department,
Lake Division. Home Service work.
ers in his home town visited his
home, explained his condition to the
family, and later persuaded Homer
to take course in vocational train
ing offered by the government. Now
he Is we'll on his way to a new field
of work where he will be able to earn
more money than he did as miner.
Other boys besides Homer are
profiting by the scheme of co-opera-
ton that has been worked out be-
tween the Red Cross workers of the
base hospitals and Home Service
workers in the 269 Red Cross chap
tiers in the Lake Division. Red Cross
hospital workers scan the admission
lists and notify headquarters when a
man who lives in the Lake Division
is received at the hospital. This gives
the Home Service workers an oppor-
tunity to get acquainted with his
family and help them get ready for
his return. A second notification
goes out when the man is discharged-
Then the Home Service workers are
on hand to assist in preparing COM
pensation claims, and advise about
insurance jobs, and the training I'm
Gle Sam is anxious to give every dis
abled man.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE HISTORI.
CAL CAMPAIGN TO BEGIN
IN JUNE.

The Kentucky Council Of Defense
is launching a Statewide historical
campaign for the entire month of
June. The purpose of this campaign
is to interest the public generally in
the historical work which the State
Council Is now carrying on and to
secure the help necessary to COM
plete this work.
Kentucky is proud of the part
which she has played in the World
War. approximately 100000 of her
citizens have been in the service.
More than 2,700 of them have lost
their lives in battle or from disease.
More than 5000 have been wounded
or gassed in action. More than $50
have won the Distinguished Service
Cross, the Croix de Guerre, or the
British Military Medal, or have been
specially cited, or promoted, for
bravery in battle.
The civilian organizations in each
county played a most important part
In winning the war. They stood SOL
idly behind the fighting forces and
made victory quick and certain.
The purpose of the historical work
is to make a permanent record in
each county of the part the people of
that county took in the war, both
through the fighting forces and
through the civilian war workers..
Kentucky was one of the first
States to begin to make a record of
her part in the war. State and
county historians were appointed in
September, 1918, and they have been
hard at work since that time. Three
classes of work have been outlined
for the historians:
1. To make individual records of
all Kentuckfans in the service during
Americas participation in the World
War.
II. To make records of the activi-
ties of the civilians in all kinds Of
war work.
II. To collect and preserve other
war data and records Of historical
interest.
In carrying out these lines of work
the historians are calling to their as
sistance the public-spirited citizens
in every community in the State, the
relatives Of soldiers, the newspapers
and all organizations which have
taken part in war work.
For compiling individual records of
all men in the service from Kentucky
the State Historian has prepared a
form of war record sheet, calling for
certain information as to every man
in the service, including his name,
rank, home address, name and adj
dress OF his nearest relative, mothers
maiden name, date of entrance into
service, camp where first training
was received, branch of service in
which he was engaged, promotions,
etc.
When the war record sheets are
filled out they will be arranged al
bound in form, and
made part Of the permanent record
Of the county.
The county historians need the

CHURCH ENTERS PROTEST ON
DAYLIGHT SAVING

A protest against the daylight saw
ing plan recently put into effect for
the second time in the United States
was formerly made and approved by
an order of the Great Crossing
church, in Scott county, May IL,
1919.
The petition says:
Whereas, The Daylight Saving
Act is detrimental to the interest of
the farmer, and to the interest of the
rural churches and schools:
Therefore, we arnestly appeal
to Congress, at the coming special
session, to repeal that act and estab-
lish the standard time.
cit is DETRIMENTAL to the farmer,
because during the hay, grain and to-
bacco harvest, the heavy dews make
it impossible to begin work before
eight or nine o'clock; yet the laborer
insists on quitting at six o'clock,
therefore losing to the farmer some
of the very best hours for this very
important work.
"It is hurtful to the churches and
schools because of the difficulty, in
doing the necessary work, to meet at
the earlier hour.
Since it is of no practical benefit
to any profession or industry, it does
not seem wise to continue a time that
is hurtful to the farmers, upon
whose industry the whole world must
subsist.
Done by order of the Great Cross
ing Church, Scott County, KY, May
II, 1919"

Oil. men began their attack on the
assessment leases with two suits in
the Wolfe Circuit Court, Saturday,
against Sheriff Shiloe Swango and
State Auditor R. l.. Greene. In one
of them P. J. White alleges that his
oil leases of undeveloped territory are
worth 1,462.25 and have been raised
to $26,565. In the other, the Ohio
Oil Company alleges that it's leases
have been raised from $6,231.40
Both charge that the leases have been
assessed lump sum. They demand
that each lease held by them be sep
,arately assessed.
We knew that Bourbon county
people were getting pretty well
worked up over the oil situation, but
had no idea that oil developments
in this county had progressed as far
as is conveyed in this item, repro
duced from "Oil Notes" in the Lex
ington Leader:
1.-THE Buckeye Oil and Refining
Company, drilling on the Jake
Moulder farm, in Bourbon county,
has brought in 150-barrel producer
in it's No. 6, according to reports re-
ceived here"

subject would be greatly appreciated
by the general public!

"Old Man Harris" arrested early last

ination and was held to the October
term of court.

STATE TAX BOARD MET LAST
WEEK FOR HEARING ON VALUES

The State Board of Taxes and As
sessment held a hearing at the court
house last week in Hackensack, in
the matter of the petition of the Bor-
ough of Lodi to increase the assess
ment on the lands, buildings and per-
sonal property of the United Piece
Dye Works of Lodi from $1,388,00e
as at present assessed, to $4,340,000.
On motion of counsel for the bor-
ough, the hearing was adjourned I'M
til after January 1, at which time
it is expected the hearing may be
transferred to Trenton.
An application of counsel for an
order to permit an appraiser of the
borough to enter the property of the
company and appraise the values was
denied by the Board.
The increase asked for by the Bor-
ough of Lodi amounts to $2,952,00
which amount the borough authori-
ties believe to be justified.
