c. & 0. STATION
Is One Of the Greatest Needs Of This
City-Maysville Slammed by
Gentleman That Passed
Through Here.

A very good example of the detri-
mental advertising which Maysville Is
now receiving, in all parts of the
country, on account Of our present
Chesapeake and Ohio passenger sta
ton is shown by the experience of a
Maysville citizen who was travelling
in the state of Florida recently.
He happened to be seated on the
train with an old friend and during
the conversation our townsman in
voice Of pride made the statement
that he was living in Maysville, Ken
lucky. The other turned in surprise
and said: "You surely can't mean
Maysville, Kentucky? l never stop
ped there but passed through on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad once
and never thought the town amount
ed to much judging from that excuse
of a passenger station and its sur
roundings. Why don't you people,
who have as you say so much to be
proud of, get together with the rail-
road and get a decent railway en-
trance to the city,"
This is only one instance of many
of like nature. The opportunity is
now presented to get handsome pas
senger station. We don't need the
end of Lower street as a river wharf
now and it is an eyesore and a
hindrance to progress and improve
ment. We are always talking about
progress. Let's carry on our reputation
as a progressive, wide awake city by
giving the Chesapeake and Ohio per-
mission to close this useless hole and
take advantage of the offer of new
station while we can get it.
For the benefit of owners of pleas
ure craft it is believed that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio will construct flight
Of steps down to the river bank to
low water mark.
But let's get the new station.

A $500 LOSS BY FIRE
Lightning Strikes Barn Belonging
to Peter Lepp

Peter Loepp, farmer living about
ten miles southeast of this city suf-
fered loss of $500 when lightning
struck his new barn, June goth and
burned it to the ground. The build
ing and contents were total loss,
there being no insurance.
There were three mules and horse
in the barn when it took fire. Mr..
Loops car was in the runway and
that had to be driven out before the
stock could be moved. By that time
the horse was so frightened that it
would not leave the building. The
mules could not be gotten out either.
One of the mules was dead by the
time Mr.. Leopp got to the fire. 1t
probably was hit by the bolt.
The barn had not been built quite
year. 1t was worth about $500.
The loss is severe one since it
comes right at the time when far
mer needs horses worst and while
there is a shortage of horse flesh in
the market.

WILL TRY BANKING

Prof. L. F. Stewart, principal of
Tyrone High school has this week
started work as an apprentice in the
First National Bank. The professor
is a great hand to take on a new
batch of trouble as soon as he gets
rid of the one before, and seems to
glutton for punishment. He will only
stay with it until school opens next
fall, but wants to know the prin-
ciples of the business and maybe go
into the game for himself some day
when welding the rod of authority
is no longer a pleasant pastime.
Here's hoping he succeeds Frank A.
Vanderlip at some future date.-Ty-

EDITORIAL


"God Almighty hates coward" So does every
brave and Hence is that the 'slacker is
not loved earth and it may be believed is not parcu
lary admired in heaven. The term 'sacker,'' used
here is intended to designate that who being fairly
subject to military duty and not having conscientious
scrupes against warfare in the religious that
would exempt him, deliberately and craveny tries
evade military service In critical time like this-a
time that tries mems souls as in a refining fre-the
Stacker is object of loathng and contempt. He is
male being who tries to purchase his life and safety at
the expense of brave fellow who has the
forward without wncng and accept service in the
army
If the 'sackers'' action affected only himself his
ofense would not be quite heinous But his derec
tion throws the burden onto somebody else The slac
er would make of himself privileged cass- class that
would stay at home in safety and while his
patriotic courageous fellow shoulders his
gun and marches off to bear the heat and burden of
the war.
The United States government is very right in grimly
preparing to make the sacker" do his duty. So far
humanity possible to make so, this selection Of for
the United States army to be fair and impartial The
slacker if apprehended is to be compelled go the
front He to be punished too for his shabby unmany
He is not to be permitted to sit back at ease

DRYING VEGETABLES

Vegetables can be preserved for
future use by drying. One point to
keep in mind is that the drying
should be fairly rapid, so that there
will be no chance for the vegetables
to spoil before sufficiently dry. An
other point is that the vegetables, if
fleshy, should be cut into slices one
eighth to quarter of an inch thick.
There are several makes of driers on
the market. The trays on which the
drying is done should have unpainted
screen or wooden slat bottoms. The
open bottom allows better circulation
of air than can be secured in a pan.
Several of these trays can be placed
one above another and then set over
another. The heat will pass up
through the trays and bring about
quite rapid drying. The electric fan,
when available, can be used to force
current of air through the vegeta-
bles. In drying the vegetables they
should not be dried till crisp, but to
leathery consistency. 1t takes ex-
perience to tell just what degree of
dryness. One can get some idea of
it by examining the dried fruits sold
on the market. Farmers Bulletin No.
BAL, U. S. D. A., gives full details on
drying fruit and vegetables.

The man who brought about this will never be

would be sufficient for his punishment
The people who brought it about will pay terrible
price.
