GREAT IMPROVEMENT Is SHOWN
IN REPORT ON GRAIN
SITUATION

New York, June ia statement
that the grain transportation situation
throughout the country shows marked
improvement was authorized here to-
night by Fairfax Harrison, Chairman
of the Railroad War Board.
Reports received from the twenty
three principal grain carrying roads,
the statement says, show there is COM
paratively little car shortage affecting
grain movements and that there is vir-
tually no disposition on the part of
farmers or country elevators to hold
back on shipment.
The boards subcommittee on car
service has been endeavoring to relieve
the grain transportation situation. To
learn what this committee had accom-
plished and at the same time gather

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any MaySyillo Citizen.

The public endorsement of a local
citzen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
Dors, you may be sure he is thorough
" convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when It is for
the public good is an act of kidness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident
Oh Maysville adds one more to the
many cases of Home Endorsement
which are being published about
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it.
frank Taylor, Prop. barber shop,
aol e. Second ST., Maysville, says: "a
Few months ago, l had a slight attack
OF kidney trouble and my kidneys were
irregular in action. The kidney AZ.
cretlons were too frequent in passage

Maysvilie people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. II

FILMING OF "A RECKLESS ROMEO
LEADS TO MANY AN AMUSING
INCIDENT

The making of "A Reckless Romeo"
the second Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle
comedy two reeler to be released 21st
by Paramount Pictures Corporation
to all exhibitors was attended with
some stirring episodes when the
scenes shown in Palisades Amusement
Park were being taken. The big
amusement resort perched on top of
the historic Palisades is a most ami
mated place and there is always more
or less excitement there but the pres
ence of Mr.. Arbuckle and his company
OF farceurs provided thrills and sen.
sations that no oratorial "ballyhoo"
man could do justice to.
Failure to take one of the Parks DO
licemen into the confidence of the
movie actors was responsible for at
least two exciting incidents. Officer
OLeary is his name and as might be
expected from this cognomen he takes
his responsibilities seriously. So,
when he saw a person of rural appear
ance involved In an alteration with
the white aproned attendant of an ice
cream cone stand he was prompt to
act. Apparently the "farmerish" look
ing individual was trying to beat" the
park merchant out of two succulent
cones and that was misdemeanor of
the gravest nature. With club in
hand he bounced on the man with
more speed than dignity he placed
MIN under arrest. Protestations from
the farmer" that he was none other
than AL st. John, famous as the orig
inal Keystone cop and therefore en-
titled to every courtesy from the DO
lice, were in vain until OLeary dis
covered the camera man busily crank
Ing his machine.
But instead of proflting by this ex-
perience OLeary blundered again five
or ten minutes later. His eagle eve
caught a we'll groomed stout man in
the act Of ogling a lady seated on a
park bench. Watching him closely
oLeary saw the man slide along the
bench and encircle the lady's waist
with his arm. That was CARRYING
things altogether too far in a highly
respectable park in broad daylight, de-
cided OLeary, and the result was a
lively mixup. After the combatants
were separated, oLeary learned that
the fiirtatious one, was FATTY" Ar
buckle and that the whole thing had
been staged for the edifcation of NOV
ing picture fans. In the meantime
footage OF highly diverting sort had
been piled up and nobody regretted
the incident but the vlgilant sleuth.
who had thus unknowingly contribute
ed his expert and official services
gratis in the interests of art.
However, since this experience
o'Leary has become very wary and
wouldn't interfere even In murder
unless he made sure there was no
camera In the Reighborhood.

information for guidance in the
boards plans to handle the 1917 grain
crop, inquiries were addressed recent
ly to the grain carrying roads. A sum-
mary of the replies, the statement
says, shows that the old grain can be
moved before the new crop is ready,
that few country elevators are full
and that nearly every car ordered for
grain is used to capacity for that pur-
pose.

The President Takes a Hand

We believe the country will approve
President Wilson's action in defiance OF
the Senate investigating committee.
The President went over the heads OIL
Senator Reeds investigators and au-
rhorized the publishing of Food Admin
jst1ator Hoover's explanation of the
sugar situation
The Reed probe has not only refused
10 put Mr. Hoover OH the stand, so that
his side could go out with the state
ments Of such AS Spreckels, but sup
pressed his statement when prepared
and offered
All the public desires is the facts.
We are not interested in James
Rced's convictions nor his personal
urejCdices or anmosities; We want
both sides and we have to thank the
President for securing it to us. Sena-
tor Reed proved his size and deter
mination in opposition to food control
and in his personal attacks on Mr.
Hoover at the last session. This
should not he suffered to affect a Sen
ate investigation in this session.
Let us have no one-sided probes. Mr.
Hoover is engaged in an Herculean
task His success depends on the
hearty support not only of all branche"
Of government but of the people them
selves. The attacks on Mr.. Hoover and
on the food administration in all its
efforts, that have been made in open
meetings Of the Reed committee, have
been given wide publicity. We believe
delay or suppression of the answer to
them, on any pretext, does not meet
the American spirit of fairness. Let
us have publicity of all sides Of these
perplexing war problems, for The
American people arc fighting this war
and they have not delegated amy
group of men to do it for them
II Senator Reed claims that the film,
of statement without submitting to
questioning by the committee is an ad
vantage to Mr Hoover, then Senator
Reed must admit that not being al
lowed to interrogate his assailants wac
a disadvantage to Mr.. Hoover
Under all the circumstances the pub
lie fears the personal feeling exhibited
last session by Senator Reed is tigur-
ing in the investigation" by the COM
mttee Of which Reed is chairman l.
is significant that every courtesy AVID
friendliness was extended by the COM
mittoe to those who testified against
the food administration, while Mr.
Hoover was shunted off on another sid
ing And most of us remember how the
Food law was held mp for months by
Senator Reeds opposition.
Let us have no more of obstructionist
methods, but fair play and the facts.

If these twenty-five gangs had done
normal, fair days work they would
have driven 10000 rivets, 400 per gang
per day. Instead they averaged 81
rivets per day. 1t should cost the gov
ernment s400 to have 10000 rivets
driven; on the basis of this record it
is costing not cents but 2l3 cents per
rivet or $2175 per 10000 rive,s. In
other words, these twenty five gangs
took $1675 for which they rendered no
service whatever. Compared with
this performance the food profiteer
who merely doubles the cost of a ne
cessity is Il cheap piker.
Let us forget the element of cost.
In this world struggle it is compare

the factor Of time and speed. Within

this pressing need, the building capac-
