THE WORLDS PREMIER INVEST
MENT.

The law authorizing the Issue Of the
Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 invests
these bonds with certain advantages
which no other bonds in the world, be
they national, state, municipal or cor.
porate, possess and makes them in many
respects a uniquely desirable invest
ment, nor will any war tax subsequent
levied by the United States during tbs
war affect them. State, county and city
taxes often amount TO as much as Gree
cents on the dollar: the exemption from
taxation Of these bonds makes them in
such cases equivalent to 61s per cent
investment. An investment absolutely
safe bringing in 6la per cent is excep.
tionally desirable.

are given the right, should ihs United

Many Maysville people have been
asking in the past few weeks whether
or not the little pleasure boat "Out-

city this summer. We were talking
with one of the owners several days

had burned soon after being sold by
himself and his partner to some
Frankfort men. Many enjoyed trips
on this splendid little boat last sum-
mer and will be sorry to hear of its
burning.

GOVERNORS VISIT
To Mason County VIII Mark the Open.
ing Of One Of the Greatest Health
Campaigns Ever Waged.

Tomorrow, Wednesday. will mark
the official opening Of the Sanitary
Survey of Mason county, and on that
day Governor A. o. Stanley, of Ken
lucky, one Of the most prominent
health workers In the state, will be
present in this city to open the cam
paign. This day will be one to long
be remembered in Mason county.
The history Of the offer Of the State
Board of Health several months ago to
give a dollar for every dollar raised
by Mason county people for health
work and later the offer of the United
States Public Health Service to give an
additional two dollars, making total
of three dollars for each one raised
here, is we'll known to every citizen
of the county. The campaign was
started at once and the fund steadily
grew until the goal was reached.
The opening Of the Sanitary Survey
was set for the first Monday in the
month but on account Of the non-ar-
rival of materials to be used II was
postponed. The question was then
raised to bring the Governor to Mason
county and he was asked as soon as
possible to visit us. He consented and
will be present tomorrow afternoon,
coming from Frankfort, together with
his secretary and other officials by au-
tomobile.
DR.. L. l.. Lumsden, surgeon general
Of the United States Public Health Ser
vice arrived in this city yesterday and
will remain over Wednesday. He will
deliver an address OIL the subject
Of the Importance of the Conser-
vation of Health and Welfare. Cover
nor Stanley will speak along the same
lines. Both gentlemen are we'll versed
in health subjects, the former having
) been with the government for num-
ber of years, the latter being identified
with state work in the tuberculosis
! Commission.
The place Of holding the big meet.
ing was at first placed for Beechwoot
Park, but later it was decided to hole
the meeting in the Washington Opera
House In order to give greater seating
capacity. The meeting will begin a,
2 O'Clock. s,,s - --r,'

To Increase Hog Production.

Some Of the best hog men Of Mis-
souri, are assisting in the increased
production campaign that was started
November 20. These men will act as
special agents for the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture and
will hold from four to six meetings In
each hog producing county. About 70
Of the principal hog producing coun-
ties of Missouri will be visited. Meet
ing dates will be arranged with the
county councils Of defense and the
farm bureaus.
These farmers, who are themselves
practical hog raisers, will urge that
more sows be bred, that higher per-
centage of the pigs be raised, that all
hogs be made heavier SO that they
will attain good marketable weight,
that pork be produced on minimum
Of grain, and that losses from disease
be eliminated by vaccination and san
itation.
