apparently the Germans spread their
shells over a considerably wider front
than that attacked by the infantry.

YOUNG WOMEN take new
INTEREST IN CAMPAIGN
Many Mason County Women Are Now
Inquiring About the Student Nurse
Reserve-Campaign Continues
All This Week.

Since it became known that Mason
county was not making, a good show
ing in the Student Nurse Reserve
there seems to have been more inter-
est created among the young women
of the city and county.
One of the greatest hindrances to
the campaign thus far seems to be the
fact that the parents of young women
object to their leaving home to enter
training in some hospital. This hind
rance is being overcome, however and
prospects are that during this week
Mason countys quota of ten young
women will be reached.
The campaign is being continued
all week by the committee of the
Council of National Defense and all
of those interested or desiring to
learn something more about the work
than has been published in the news
papers are asked to apply at the Pub
lie Library where they will be given
full instructions by the members of
the committee having the matter in
hand.

LAST DAY OF ROAD
OFFENSIVE FOR TINS
week LOOKS GOOD
Many Local Business Men Rolled Up
Their Sleeves In Work Yesterday
and More VIII Hike to the
Country Today Much
Stone Is Now Being
Hauled,

Another squad of Maysville bust
ness men went to the country yester-
day to spend the day in helping the
County commissioners in their inten-
sive drive for better pixies and roads
which opened in full blast on Mon
day and will be concluded today so
far as the special effort for rock haul
ing Is concerned.
Those who have been to the country
report that the special drive inaugur-
ated by the Commissioners has been a
great success in every way and that
during the past two days there has
been a great AMOUNT of stone dumped
along the roads and pixies which will
be spread within the next few weeks
and crushed to make metal for the
pixies.
The business men who went to the
country yesterday are said to have
been of great assistance. The city
men are being used at the quarries to
help load wagons and while some of
them have not handled shovels for
years, they have soon gotten onto the
slight and have accomplished even
more than was expected when they
were asked to help out in the drive.
Today is the last day of the big
drive and another company of men
will go out for the day. While today
ends their intensive campaign the
Commissioners announce that they
will use stone hauled in most any part
of the county.
Prospects are now for better roads
in all parts of Mason county this win
ter than we have had for many year!
in the past.

ANOTHER ARREST UNDER
VAGRANCY LAW MADE
Negro Man Arrested on Charge Of
Failing to WOrk--Had Been Warm
ed and VIII Be Given Hear
ing This Afternoon.

Charles Cooper, colored, was ar
rested by the police yesterday after
noon on a charge of vagrancy and
will be given a hearing before Police
Judge John L. Whitaker this after
noon Failing to give bond for his
appearance tomorrow, Cooper was
taken to Jail to await the calling of
his trial.
Cooper was brought in before Chief
of Police Harry A. Ort several weeks
ago when complaint had. been made
that he was not working. At that
time Chief Ort informed him that he
must secure some employment i'm
mediately and that he would be ex-
pected to keep steadily at work. The
man promised to find work at once
and upon this promise, he was re-
leased.
Since that time, however, it is said
I've has not been employed and has not
sought employment so that his arrest
was yesterday ordered. Several va
grancy cases have been tried under
the new state law in the local Police
Court since it became a law and it
has been a great help to the city and
county officials.

FOLKS SHOULD HURRY
UP WITH THEIR BOOKS
MaysviIle and Mason County People
Are Urged to Hurry Their Con-
tributiOn Of Books for the Sol
diers in to the Library.

Miss Mary Richeson, Mason Coun-
ty Librarian, is very anxious to be
able to make a shipment of books to
the American Library Association
within the next few days and she is
urging upon all Maysville and Mason
county people who are contemplating
giving books for the soldiers that they
present those books to the Library at
the earliest possible time.
Already several hundred books have
been given to the soldiers but as yet
the number given is still far below
the number given in the last cam
paign and while there may not be as
many given this time as in the last
drive, it is hoped that more than a
thousand volumes will be donated.
The books so contributed are sent to
central station of the American Ii
brary Commission and there they are
divided and shipped out to American
environments and overseas to Y. M. C.
A. huts and stations. All kinds OF
books are acceptable and it is to be
hoped that the response this week will
bring the contribution of Mason coun-
ty near to the thousand volumn mark.

TWO SEUGEANTS DROWN
IN OHIO NEAR BRENT
Non. cOmmlssiOned Officers From Fort
Thomas Are Drowned in Ohio
River Near the Fort.

The Cincinnati Times-Star says:
Two veteran sergeants at Fort Thorn
as were missing at roll call Tuesday
Boone Coleman and Daniel Attick
Both men met death by drowning In
the Ohio river at Brent, KY, late Mon
day. They were veterans of the re-
gular army. Coleman with Is years
experience and Attick with II. The
body of Coleman was recovered Tues
day morning, but a detail of soldiers
from the post continued to drag the
river for the body of Attick. Accord
to the report made to the commanding
officer, the sergeants went to the riv-
er, it being the intention of Attick to
teach Coleman to swim, an accom-
plishment necessary under the new
army regulations. They went to
sand-bar and Coleman took his les
son. In order to reach the shore they
took a short cut through the water
and stepped into a hole rs feet in
depth that had been dug by sand
boat. Neither rose to the surface.
Coleman's home was at Louisa, KY,
and Atticks at Pahtang, Pa. They
had been at the post for year and
half and were regarded by their SUI
perior officers as two of the best SOL
diers at the post. Their long exper-
fence in the army made their services
valuable and both anticipated an ear
ly trip to France, where they would
engage in actual fighting. 1t was in
order to go across that Sergt. Cole
man wanted to qualify as a swimmer.

Chief of Police Harry A. Ort has

stealing from any railroad company

Maysvllle Typewriter Expert is Ac-

Mr.. e. e. Clark of Maysville and
Carlisle, expert typewriter repairman,
who several weeks ago made applica-
ton for Secretary work with the
American Y. M. G. A., yesterday re-
ceived a communication from the
headquarters of the organization in
forming him that he had been &C
copied for the work overseas and ask
ing him to set the earliest possible
date he could sail for France.
Mr.. Clark has been very much in
terested in religious work since his
residence in Maysville and shortly af-
ter the Y. M. G. A. made an appeal
for men as secretaries he made ap-
plication. 1t was necessary to I'M
dergo three different physical exami-
nations and in all he classed as
physically fit. He returned this
week from Louisville where he held
a conference with the state officials
of the organization and yesterday re-
ceived his orders to make prepara-
tons to sail at the earliest possible

Mr.. Clark is the first Maysville man
to be accepted by the Y. NJ c. A. for

it would probably take him about
thirty days to close up all of his bust
