Salvation Army Drive

Work for the Home Service
Fund OF the Salvation Army will
start promptly, in fact has al
ready begun, an organization
{ the drive with some of the
best men and. women of the
county in charge having been
perfected. News from the State
Headquarters at Lexington,
where Colonel 1. SobeI is in
charge of the State Campaign, is
to the effect that the outlook for
Kentucky going over the top is
! xcellent and that this worthy
organization will be given the
! needed furds to look after the
wants of returned and returning
soldiers as well as they looked
after the fighting men at the
front in Europe.
Sunday, June e, will be Sal.
Walton Army Sunday in chui ches
of Kentucky, the ministers hav
ing been asked to preach atthat
time on the work of the Arm y
at home and what it did for the
soldiers abroad. The next day,
the drive for the Home Service
Fund actually starts and it will
be completed Monday. June 80.
With the problem of blish.
ing boozeless saloons where
there is any demand for them,
finding work for unemployed
soldiers and others who may
want work after the saloon has
passed out, there will be plenty
of use for the fund to be raised
in this drive and Commander
Evangeline Booth and her co.
workers at the head of the
Army are sufficient assurance
that it will be properly expended.
The organization in this county
is composed of the following
well known men:
DR.. M. Pennington, Chairman,
Judge S. D. Lewis, V. Chr.
v. c. Tate, Treas. c. &. Davis,
Secy., S. F. Bowman. Scout

We had moved so fast our kitchens
were lost and had no chow Zero
hour was set for $3.50 next morning.
We went over and after three hours
in No Mans Land machine gun bullet
got me in the leg.
Litter bearers of Co. /, 127th Infantry,
picked me up. On the way back, before
we reached the first aid resimental
dressing station, they put the litter on
the ground, just behind our old front
line, and Salvation Army man gave
me doughnuts, good hot coffee and
cigarettes. And, let me tell you, high
explosive and gas shells were falling
mighty thick around US!
1T was the first food I'd had in 80
hours. The pain was fierce, and was
bleeding lot. The doughnuts, coffee
and smokes did more than simply put
new life into me. The Salvation Army
was my best bet.
"As lay on the litter waiting for the ambu.
lance all could think of was how good the
coffee and smokes tasted-my own tobac-

'All of us knew the Salvation Army was
behind US. They were real folks, and we
knew We wouldn't have to ask for help II
we needed 1t. We knew we could count on

With shipyards building as rapidly
as they can for the next ten years,
they can not turn out too many ships,
is the statement attributed to Lord
Pirrie, controller elLeral of merchant
shipbuiiding in Great Britain, who

the Irish Telegr@ ph.
All tonnage built in the next five
years will be fully occupied without
conducting any trade wars or danger

When asked whether ne felt that
the great extra cost Of American ship
building is likely, after the war, to
prevent the United States from con-
tinuing her program, Lord Pirrie dc
clared that he thought nothing Of the
sort.

Of labor and Of some materials, but
the Amer can is an inventive individ-
ual and necessity is the mother us

THE real etra cost Of wages has
made employers introduce machinery
fer in advance of anything known

TO have been good. This vast intro
duction of machinery and the extra
capital employed, offsets the low
British wage. 1t is q cCmpl Gated

The American not only scraps the oid

makes for progress. 1t may seen
to waste, but really It trends away

Within the next ten years the vas
