The HELPING HAND
TO ALL SOLDIERS

A permanent Service and Informa-
ton Branch of the War Department
was perfected at an enthusiastic
meeting held Saturday night at the
court house, when officers were Sc
lected who will be at the head of the
work in Richmond, which city was
chosen as one of the important cen
terS from which the effects of the OPP
erations will emanate. The willing
ness with which the representatives
of various organizations, together
with professional men of the city,
started in with the rather impromptu
meeting which terminated in the per-
lection of the branch forming the nu-
cleus of the work here bespeaks for
the. future and welfare of hundreds
Of soldiers who will be given assist
ance
| The officers are as follows: r. r.
Turley, permanent chairman; D. w.
J Kennedy, vice chairman; Miss Mary
Collins, secretary.
The meeting, called Saturday af-
teInoon and announced for Saturday
night, resulted in a liberal attendance,

WHEAT IS LIGHT;
OTHER CROPS GOOD
State Report on Condition Of
Grain In Kentucky Shows
Present Standing

With numerous reports of very
short acreage, heavy abandonment,
thin stand and damage by the Hes
sian fly, Kentucky's wheat crop now
promies 5,825,0OO bushels, compared
to prospect in early May for 6,143,-
900 bushels, according to the juno
crop report issued jointly at Frank
fort and Louisville by Commissioner
of Agriculture w. C. Hanna and H.
F. Bryant, Kentucky field agent of
the U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates.
Last year the final yield in Kentucky
turned out 12,029,000 bushels, while
the 5-year average, 1914-18, inclusive,
was 10,316,000 bushels. The greatest
out in acreage and the heaviest dam
age apparently occurred in Western
and Southern Kentucky -, 80, y
Oats are doing fine on good acre
age, except where too badly drowned
out in few places. The condition is
90 per cent of normal and the acre
age about 1000, indicating pro-
duction of about 1O,7O6,0O0 bushels,
compared to 100000 bushels last
year.
Rye shows condition of 83 per
cent of normal. With about $4,000 ac-
res in the state to be harvested for
grain this indicates production of
approximately $4,000 bushels, COM
pared to 744,000 bushels last year.
Barley acreage in Kentucky this
year is about IL per cent less than in
1919, due chiefly to increased hurley
tobacco acreage. Practically all the
barley in Kentucky is grown in the
blue grass counties. Condition of bar
ley is 80 per cent of normal, indicat-
| ing production of about $4,000
bushels.
Most meadows have made good
growth, though some sections are
por or very weedy, and some of the
first cutting OF alfalfa was damaged
by rain. Condition of clover is 80 pei
cent, with the acreage about IL pei
+ cent less than in 1919, due chiefly tt
high prices of seed and to winter
killing. Alfalfa condition is 90 pei
/ cent, due chiefly to freezing out. The
acreagesis about 80 per cent less thar
in 1919.
/ Apple prospects are good in most
sections, the average being about u
per cent of crop. Peaches are. about
10 per cent of crop, while pears are
about GO per cent.
Pasture in most sections averages
fair. All work and crops are very

are really in want, it is claimed, and
it is with the intention of placing ev-
cry soldier on his feet, so to speak,
that the work of the movement is be-
ing urged SO strongly. With the
work of the Red Cross, the various
other modes of ferreting out this big
list of soldiers, it was believed that
all could be communicated with, but
after the finishing of the work, at
Louisville alone, it was learned that
more than $500 had failed to re-.
spond. The only requisite is to pro-
vide yourself with your discharge and
report to the nearest branch of the
service and you will receive immedi-
ate attention and aid in any manner
needed. This is what the government
is DESTROYS of doing; help every man
that needs it, but the man has first
to be found. One of the features of
the work making the great shade on
the drawback is the pride of the av-
erage American soldier, although it
is not so characteristic of soldiers of
other lands. There are thousands
who are aware of the fact that they
would be. assisted by the government
if they sought the aid, but are pre-
vented by their pride. This is said
to be vital mistake While this ele-
ment perhaps does not need aid at
this time, it is now that they should
communicate with the government
and equip and insure themselves
against possible affection accruing
later as result of their army ser
vice.
The Richmond branch will arrange
to held regular meetings and the
work will be taken up and followed
closely upon the lines laid down by
the government. The next meeting,
together with the arrangements for
future meetings and work will be ar
ranged for and announced within a
short time.

the work in this section, was called
upon to explain the nature of the
work to be taken up, which he did
satisfactorily, also detailing a men
ner, in the way of suggestion as tc
how to proceed with it. He was fol
lowed by number present who
dwelt upon the various phases of The
work for some time. after which the
officers for the organization were
chosen. There were no destinations
all appearing enthusiastic and willing
to take a hand and do what they
could.
A most fitting and cred1Jable illus
tration of the interest taken here il
the work came through a communities
ton with Miss Anne Collins, who wa:
unable to be present, but who volun-
tarily offered her services as secretary
of the organization, informing the in
tefested ones that she would officiate
in this capacity, a most important
one, considering the work to be done,
and her gracious services were ac-
cepted.
The object Of the organization of
| the branch IS to effect the rehabilita-
ticn of the entire membership of the
United States army, including every
man who was in service during the
late war; to cooperate with them,
and to assist them in the way of fur
nishing medicine, hospital of medical
aid in any manner, and also to fur
nish remuneration, of necessary. 1t
is estimated that although there have
| been repeated attempts to reach ev-
cry man who has been in the service
lover 100000 who have legitimate
claims against the government have
not been heard from. 1t is with the
idea of communicating with each and
every one of these that this service
is being formed. Uncle Sam wants to
do everything he can for the men who
were with the colors, "but he has to
find many of them yet in order to
do So" was one of the expressive
statements of Captain Bachus in
stating the object of the organization
"Some men really have claims for ex-
ira train fare, board and personal af-
fairs of that kind" he said. Many
| records and discharges have been lost
The rush to get the men home after
the arrnistice was signed resulted in
many changes that caused some mer
to go here, others there, and many
have not been heard from. 1t is
known that there are more than 5000
soldiers with whom the government
4 has not been able to effect communi
cation thus far, although they are
known to have arrived home safely
they have just "drifted,' the captain
said and nothing has been heard o.
them as yet. Many need medical at
, telltion. Some are tubercular; others
