The Helping Hand

To Henry Ford a lot of folks
Owe of gratitude modicum;
He not only started some folks out,
But has kept them going some.
And he who rides in a Ford
In calm or stormy weather,
Knows he'll get to where hes ging,
If the Thing just hangs together.

RED CROSS NOTES

Announcement of a canvass of
every returned soldier, sailor or mar
inc in Hays, to be begun shortly by
the Ellis County Chapter of the Red
Cross for the purpose of straighten-
ing out the affairs of former service
men who still are seeking adjustment
of difficulties concerning allotments,
Liberty Bonds, back pay, ETC., was
made today by Southwestern Divi-
sional headquarters of the Red Cross
at st. Louis.
1t is proposed that the Home Ser
vice Section of Ellis County Red
Cross Chapter institute a thorough
search Of the men and families within
its jurisdiction, to ascertain whether
or not its war time obligations in
cident to the caring of soldiers and
their families have been fully dis
charged. The Bureau of After Care,
Edward B. Orr, Director, is conduct
ing this ''Finish the Job" campaign.
A QUESTIONABLE is being sent each
Red Cross Chapter in the Southwest
ern Division Missouri, Kansas, Okla
homa, Texas and Arkansas asking
statistics of the condition of the war
work of the Red Cross.
Several Red Cross Chapters" said
Director Orr, shave written in to
Southwestern Division headquarters,
saying, Well, our Home Service work
is done! What shall we do now?'
From reports received at other
sources we know it to be a fact that
hundreds and hundreds of former ser
vice men, many of them in these same
communities, are disabled, sick and
helpless. They need medical atten-
ton and they don't know how to get
what's coming to them. Right here
is where the Red Cross steps in.
That's our job. That's our war obli-
cation. This phase of Red Cross war
work is not done until the last soldier
is cared for.
For instance, we know that many
men need medical care, or vocational
re-education. We know that many
are concerned about undelivered
Liberty Bonds or arrear in pay or
unpaid allotments or war risk insur-
ance. Right today lots of men want
to reinstate their war risk insurance
and don't know how to go about get
ting it. The quickest way for them
to settle the matter is to apply at the
nearest Red Cross home service office.
The same answer applies to most of
the other thousand and one difficulties
that beset former soldiers

the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, and representative of the
American Federation of Labor. The
subjects for discussion relate to finance
and commerce. with particular atten-
ton to the increasing cost of produc-
tion and distribution Of necessities
and resultant high prices to con
sumers.'
There are no subjects more vital J;
none under more general or frequent
discussion. Conditions are beyond
dispute. Business is seriously dislo-
Gated. Production is seriously short.
Distribution is exceedingly faulty.
Prices for everything are sky high.
Everybody is more or less affected, and
great numbers of people are greatly
embarrassed.
There must be relief, and it should
be found and applied as quickly as
possible. Such conditions cannot, Of
course, be relieved in a day. Magic
wands are not available in such affairs.
But beginning should be made, and
a beginning promising ultimate good
results would relieve the present pres.
sure.
We should, and probably will, get
from this meeting of business men
all of them active in the business
world, and for that reason able be-
yond other men to appraise the situa.
ton and suggest remedies-tips of
value leading to a way out of the
wilderness and back into the middle
of the road. The hard experience of
the past few years is getting ON the
nerves of the people. They do not
understand why eighteen months after
the close of the war so much seems to
be still on a war basis and running
at war cost.

Sugar.

A serious sugar shortage exists today.
II is shortage only as affects the
consumer. He is forced to pay enor-
m GUS prices for sugar and finds it hard
to get any at those rates, four and FIVE
times what he used to pay for sweeten-
ing. Yet there is no actual shortage Of
sugar at the source. There may be
heavier consumption, but not to the
extent of causing the rate to advance
by several hundred per cent. Some
where along the line between the beet
field and the cane plantation there is
profiteering of the most fragrant kind.
The retailer cannot be blamed He
finds it difficult to get the sugar and
he is as rule charging only mod
crate profit ON his outlay, which has
increased heavily. If he pays IS cents
a pound he is entitled to sell for 90.
But who is getting the larger part of
designed to keep sugar out of the mar
ket or to dribble it along to the end
Of holding up the price on the pre-
tense of actual scarcitye With all its
agencies of detection the government
does not seem able to ascertain where
the trouble lies.
Large users Of sugar. candy and soft
drink manufacturers, have compare
lively little difficulty in getting all the
sugar they need. Candy consumption
has increased since prohibition went
into effect. But has this absorbed so
much sugar as to jump the price for
domestic use to several times the
former cost! If so, there is justice
in the public demand that the candy
and soft drink makers be rationed
Candy boycotts are proposed in some
cities. They will not be effective un-
less they are sustained and are sup
plemented by rigorous government ae-
ton to release boarded supplies of
sugar and to check extortion. The
people must have sugar and they must
not be forced to pay outrageous prices
for it. If the situation is not relieved
there will be serious trouble.
