addition to q curative force.
In every county in the land Ad-
visory Boards, composed Of leading
citizens, are being formed, to deter
mine the social problems of each
section. These boards will be the
judges Of their own particular
needs; in the solution Of the prob
lens they will have at their constant
command the services of the highly
trained and efficient Salvation
Army workers whose ability was
best demonstrated during the war.
But to do all this, more funds will
have to be collected, to partially de-
fray the cost Of the Home Service
Campaign.
The County Advisory Boards will
,see to it that the amounts requested
are kept down to the lowest figures
possible.
The Salvation Army Girl, whose
last thought is of herself, is, think

whether you will do your bit in as

to which she had dedicated her
young life. She believes you will not
desert her in this, her hour Of need.
She is "Sister to all the World

The war is over, but the Salvation

The Salvation Army is now pre-

revolutionary step taken in the his

establish a Home Service Program,

Pigs Need Quantity
of Mineral Matter

An allowance of a mixture Of
mineral matter is not only good for
producing bone but it. also a good
conditioner for the SOW and her lit
ter Of pigs, according to Prof. E. j.
MILFORD, of the Animal Husbandry
Department Of the College of Agri-

good results is composed of two

Large Prizes Awarded

As a further step in the movement
to encourage the production Of bet
ter grade meat animals in Kentucky
and Tennessee, announcement has
been made by the Louisville Live
stock Exchange that fat and feed
ing cattle show and sale would be
held at the Bourbon Stock Yards in
connection with the State Fair on
September Is and Is.
Prizes to the amount of $500 will
be offered in eight events. The prizes
will be for carload lots and will be
for the best showing by dry fed
steers, grass fed steers, feeding
steers, heifers and single steers.
There will be from four to five prizes
for each class.
The show is held by special ar
ranopment with the State Fair au-
thorities and with their full coop
Grafton. 1t was found that the room
at the State Fair grounds was in
sufficient for such a large exhibit
ton of animals as will be held, and
the first plans for holding the events
there were consequently abandoned.
Cattle from both Kentucky and
Tennessee, it is expected, will be en-
tered.
From indications received before
the show was decided on and when
canvass of the livestock situation
was made to determine what accom-
modations would have to be pro-
vided, it is thought that farmers
from over the state lines will at
tend.
The growing interest in better
livestock is reflected in daily re-
ports from the livestock producing
centers by field agents of the live
stock interests and from county
agents, who have been arranging for
the Farmers Better Sire Sale of 200
pure bred bulls, to be held at the
Bourbon Stock Yards June End.

Something Must Be Done About It,

Something Must Be Done About It.
Along about the time that Hector
was pup, we began to hear about
our forests, and the need for conserv-
ing them. Something must be done
about it, according to the forward
looking souls, or by and by we would
not have the forests.
The wasteful numbering went on
unmolested. The time of retribntion
was too remote. 1t couldn't be vi;u-
allied
There seemed ample timber for log
cabins, lumber, and what little paper
pulp was needed.
Then came Roosevelt, and with him
Clifford Pnichot, and they did about
all that HAS been done about it.. The
establishment of forestry service
has been step in the right direction.
But what has been done has only
taken lumber requirements into con-
sideration. And in the last twenty
years pulp operations have reached
a consumption eclipsing all former de-
mands upon the raw material
Cans, cartons, packing cases, bottles,
furniture, clothing, wall board, pals,
barrels.-fifteen hundred articles of
paper pulp, use three times the paper
formerly usel.
The greatest forest fire we ever ex-
perienced did not consume the tim
Der we sacrifice daily in the wasteful
decoration of small packages of staple
foods.
The newspapers require a further
enormous quantity daily. None is re-
placed. There is only one wood pulp
material. Spruce. And it is we'll
known fact that forest fires result in
second growth hardwood.
And now we are told the end must
come in twenty years.
Are we eventually going to do some
thing about it?
Or are we going to continue to
cruelty the press of the United States
upon the cross of paper packaged
goods, and go back to the hammer
and stone chisel for education?
There is one way the everyday cit
izen may help the situation, and at the
same time lower the cost of living to
himself.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE
THE CAMPAIGN FOR SALVATION
ARMY FUNDS SOON BEGINS
l. L. Baptie Has Consented to Act
As Chairman of the Drive COM

A representative of the Salvation
Army was in the city two DAYS last
week consulting with the local coun-
ell of the state organization relative
to the Forthcoming drive for funds on
the part of the Salvation Army. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of the To-
cal council that drive for funds BY
the Salvation Amry would meet with
good success in spite of the unfavor-
able conditions because of the distin-
guished work dene by it during the
war-and the council seemed lust as
positive that drive by any other or
ganization at the present time would
meet with poor success. The Saliva
ton Army is the one organization
which came through the war with a
record whittier than snow. Every sol
der swears by the Army-not at it.
which is more than can be said of the
rest When it comes to practical APP
piled Christianity, the Salvation Army
has no competitor. 1t is unique; in
a field by itself; and its service to
the nation and to the Individual is
priceless. Be generous when the time
comes.
