Every community in tit* country today haa its quota of men in the Army, and the home folks of these communities are organising units of the Army Emergency Relief. The Army Emergency Belief is a fund being raised to provide for the assistance of dependents of any soldier who wears the uniform of our country. It operates Without official "red tape." Emergency conditions are recognised and relief is given promptly. The mother who visits her boy in camp and finds his outfit suddenly moved, leaving her stranded, is immediately provided with necessary funds by the Army Emergency Belief. When a soldier becomes a casualty his dependents are given sympathetic care and funds are advanced until the payment of a pension or his insurance. The Army Emergency Reliefcfe incorporated under thflaws of the District of Columbia as a non-profit organisation. General John J. Pershing is honorary president. The chairman of the hoard is Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, the acting president being Under Secretary of War Bobart P. Patterson. The fund is administered by Major General William N. Haskell, formerly commander of the 27th Division. Donations and contributions are accepted from .any legitimate sources, organisations or enterprises, and already a great deal at money has been received. Families of soldiers and patriotic eitisens in the cities and towns and the smaller villages throughout the country are taking the initiative in the work. It is a spontaneous movement of the people, without high pressure campaign methods, and its entire service is voluntary. Outside of the larger cities committees formed by the. cituens have had the whole hearted cooperation of local newspapers, and in many communities the press is promoting the organisation of the movement, in some cases the funds being raised as a memorial to a home boy who already has made the supreme sacrifice. All persons interested in organising local units to assist the Army Emergency Relief have been asked to communicate with Col. Mm Thomas Taylor, assistant .director, Bureau of Public Belations, War Department, Munitions Building, Washington, D. C. Said CoL Taylor: "We praise our country's defenders but our greatest Semite to the man on the battle line is the assurance that we are looking after his loved ones at home. In dqing this we take the load off his heart." • . „ "r Farmers Will Select New AAA r Committeemen Preparmtibns for electing additional Agricultural Adjustment Administration community committeemen are going forward in practically every county of the state, according to G.
