CROP REPORT

Kentucky farmers this year have
on hand livestock worth approx
mately $165,O17,0O0 compared to
$17S,439 900 worth of stock on farms
in the State last year. There is only
very slight decrease in the total
number of all classes of farm ami
mails as a whole, but the lower prices,
compared to year ago, make the
total value approximately seven and a
half per cent. less than in 1919.
Horses number approximately 429,-
900, mules 231, 900, milk cows, 49,
600, other cattle, $4,000, sheep, l.
100000, and swine, 1851, 900. Com
pared to 1919 this is approximately
o decrease of 2 per cent. in horses,
no change i'm number of mules, 1 per
cent. increase in number of milk cows,
5 per cent. decrease in other cattle,
3 per cent. decrease in number of
sheep and per cent. decrease in
number of swine.
Milk cows are the only class of
livestock averaging higher in value
than last year, $500 in 1920, COM
pared to $1,000 in 1919. Horses av-
erage $4,000, compared to $1,000

duce the average Of mule prices. The
States average price on mules (all
ages) this year is about $4,000,
compared to $1,000 last year. The
value of the average hog in Kentucky
shows a drop from $1,000 last year,
TO $1,000 this year; sheep from $l3

DUTY

This Truth comes to us more and
more the longer we live, that on what
field, or in what uniform, or with
what aims we do our duty, matters
very little, or even what our duty is,
great or small, splendid or obscure,
Only to find our duty certainly and
somewhere, or somehow, to do il
faithfully, makes us good, strong,
happy and useful men, and tunes our
lives into some feeble echo Of the life
of God.

A War Risk Conference, under the
auspices Of the American Legion OF
Kentucky, was held at Louisville last
Saturday, February 2sth, and practi-
cally every post in the State was rep
resented. Robert Stoner, Stanley
Brown and Lewis II. Fitzpatrick were
sent as delegates from the Pangburn
Post. and spared no effort in obtain
ing all available information for the
benefit of their'fellow legionnaires of
Montgomery County.
The Conference was assembled in
the Red Room Of the Seelbach Hotel,
where it was called to order by the
State Commander. Major George
Triplett, assistant director Of the
War Risk Bureau; Lieut.. Col. Austin,
of the Public Health Service, an Of
ficer of the War Department, and
other prominent Washington officials
addressed the delegates and explain
ed the work being done by the United
States for the ex-service men of this
country. Facts and statistics we're
given, showing that the government is
prepared to do all in its power to aid
and protect its former soldiers, sail
ors and marines.
The officials especially urged the
ex-service men to keep up their War
Risk Insurance, pointing out that the
government policies could be carried
at ten per cent. less cost than the
policies of regular companies. A num-
Der of the delegates complained that
certain private insurance agents were
advising the men against continuing
their government insurance, saying
that the regular companies offered
them better and more liberal provi-
sions. When this breach Of ethics was
brought before the conference a reso-
luton was passed, declaring these
statements to be entirely false and
warning private insurance agents in
the name of the American Legion, not
to interfere with the work of the War
Risk Bureau.
The Louisville conference was a
complete success; the delegates pres
ent were shown every courtesy and
by their State and ma
ional officers, and the spirit that
prevailed was that of hearty good
and mutual helpfulness.
The American Legion of Kentucky,
low thoroughly organized, stands
behind any movement for
ivic, political and moral betterment.
That all ex-service men of Mont
,omery county may be properly in
ormed of the privileges and benefits
o which they are entitled, it is neces-
AIRY that they attend the next meet
ng of the Pangburn Post. This meet
ng will be held at 7 80 o'clock, next
friday night, in the County Court
Dom. The local delegates to the

WOODBRIDGE, July 2s-Al-
last nights storm did not equal the
foot it must be attributed to the fact
that It was only because of dead
low tide and a first quarter moon.
Conditions in the town resembled
scenes of Ohio river floods, BECAUSE
of the fact that culverts were stop
Fed UP and the creek overflowed
sSsir banks, preventing the water
from being carried away.
Several youngsters commanded
trucks from the Pennsylvania
freight station and used them to
good advantage in transporting geo.
pie from the buses and trolley and
the sidewalks. Later on after the
rain had ceased and the water in the
streets had risen the trolleys, buses
and automobiles found 1t almost i'm
possible to navigate and several of
them became stalled when the water
reached their motors.
About 3 am . an electric wire in
front Of the home of Mrs. w. A.
Osborne on Green street parted and
set fire to a tree. A neighbor. think
ing Mrs. 0sborne's house to be on
fire summoned the fire company.
The flaming tree was extinguished,
but it is not known whether 1t was
necessary for the power to be shut
OF or not.
Owing to the storm It was neces-
sary to call off the block dance,
which was scheduled for Main
