II is a well-known fact
that few OF Us eat enough fresh

it will save meat and wheat

Canned goods and less PERISH

you will find that you have
placed at your disposal a most
effective weapon against the
ever rising cost of living.
Take a look at that vacant

Of increasing the food supply.
The result will justify your

A THRIFTY FELLOW

One of our enterprising citizens
makes inquiry if it is unlawful to
raise hogs in a pen on the river. The
city ordinance relative to the raising
of hogs forbids anyone this privilege,
and as Maysville's limits run to low
water mark on the Ohio side it is pre-
sumed it is against the law, and this
inquiry brought out the thrift point in
this young mans makeup He has
been one of those numerous mussel
shell fishers, and as the shells have
TO be cleaned, the meat of the mussel
was a clear loss, so this fellow built
him a pen on his boat, got two pigs,
and then would cook the mussel meat
and feed the hogs. At the end OF
the season he had two $50 pound
porkers that had never seen a grain OF
corn and the meat of which was as
white as that Of the tOothsome tur-
key He kept his pen clean and be-
sides the revenue from the shells hI
sold one Of the hogs 10 local butcher

LOG FISHING IS A
LUCRATIVE BUSINESS
Some Excellent Timber Has Been Re-
deemed From the Bed Of the Riy-
er the Past Few Days.

A revival of an old-time business
has been going along the river front
here the past few days that has been
in times past a very lucrative pastime.
Years ago when this city was the
center of large and prosperous lum-
ber industry, when two big sawmills
ran continuously the year round, huge
RATS of logs were maintained at the
river in front of the mills to supply
them with material to be cut up.
A number of logs in each raft would
become water-logged and sink, and in
many cases it would stay there, in
time being covered with a mud sedi-
ment and there it remained. Some
times when it was missed it would be
fshed out but only one man on the
RATS ever kept a close watch ON these,
Captain Ben Cook, who would always
get them to the surface and to the
mill; but after he left not much at
tention was paid to them and there
they have lain all these years firmly
| embedded in mud and sand.
The last week a man named Bush
has been busily engaged in getting
some of these logs out of their rest
ing place, having succeeded in getting
nine up to today, one being fine spe-
cimen of oak that was taken out just
below the water works. 1t is about
twenty feet long and three feet across.
Mr.. Bush is collecting these logs in
order that he might get sufficient
lumber to build barge he has in con-
temptation. He has recovered several
good beach logs near the foot of Com
merce street.
He says this is a slow way of doing
business, but the timber is of a much
finer kind than that which has been
thoroughly dry seasoned, and is as
tough almost as a piece of iron. Many
years ago this water seasoned timber
was largely sought by old-time work
men here for the making of wagon
spokes. 1t is of blush color and fin.
ishes UP well.
Mr.. Bush will continue his log-fish-
ing as long as he can find any. He
has been on this fishing expedition al
i along the river from Vanceburg down
having been very successful above
here. .A..A sq,

EFFORTS MADE TO
| GET WAR RELICS
FOR MAYSVILLE
Senator and Congressman Asked TO
See That Mason County Is Not
Forgotten In Relic Dis
tributiOn.

Already several of the cities and
towns of the country have made ap-
peals for cannons, machine guns or
other articles with which they might
ornament their streets, parks or ceme-
teries.
Maysville and Mason county fur
nished more than one thousand men
in the present conflict and certainly
they are entitled to some serious con-
sideration when it comes to this dis
tribution of captured or discarded
arms.
In order to be on time and to show
that we were really interested in the
matter Secretary Carl Dodds, of the
Chamber of Commerce has written
Congressman Fields and Senator
Beckham making the request for one
or more pieces of this war machinery
and asking these officials that they
support Maysville and Mason county's
request and do all within their pow
er to see that our request is near the
top of the list.
1t may be several years yet before
this distribution is made but thous-
ands of these cannon, machine guns,
shells, etc, will be given away to
towns and communities as souvenirs.

TOBACCO ASSGCI-
ALTON WILL MEET
MONDAY NIGHT
WIN Try and Arrange For the Open
ing Date of the Loose Leaf Mar
ket In This City.

For some time rast it has been a
matter of concern among the loose
leaf tobacco warehousemen in this
city as to the probable opening of this
market for this season.
Markets at other places have adver-
tised to open on December 3rd, and
this market generally opens a week
later than Lexington.
This season. however, the ware
housemen were notified by the big
buyers that 1t would be impossible for
them to have their representatives ON
the Maysville market before the first
of 1919, owing to the influenza cpl
demic having made the Southern mar
kets one month late, and also owing
to the army draft taking most OF
their men
Now that conditions have changed
the influenza showing decided i'm
provement and the draft withdrawn
throwing these men back to the ranks
of depleted labor, there seems to be nc
reasonable excuse why buyers cannot
be gotten for this market before the
first of the year.
The Maysville Tobacco Association
has called meeting for Monday night
at the Chamber of Commerce rooms
on West Second street for the purpose
of going over the situation and to try
and set a date for the opening Of
Maysville's Tobacco Market.
This is Maysville's most important
winter industry and it is hoped tha
when it does open sales can be helt
daily throughout the season.

MUST keep TRACK af.
IN GOOD CONDITION
Street Railways Held Liable For Ac-
cldents If Track Is Dangerous to
Ordinary Travel.

A street railway company must con-
struct its track so that 1t is not dan
gerous to ordinary travel. The COM
pany is obligated to keep the track in
good condition for ordinary travel of
pedestrians, and if a person is injured
through the neglect of the company
then it is liable for damages.
The Court of Appeals yesterday af-
firmed the Kenton Circuit Court in the
case of the South Covington and Gin
cinnati Railway Company against A.
c. Wintermeyer, Scott street, In Gov
ington, Wintermeyer struck his feet
against a protruding rail and fell, in
juring himself. He sued the company
for damages and received verdict of
$5,250, which the Court holds that the
company must pay.
The Court also decided that mar
ried woman can maintain a suit for
damages against a woman for Grim
inal conservation with the husband of
the married woman. This decision
was made in the suit of Mrs, Oma Lee
Turner against Mrs. Mary Heaverin,
Musicar L. Heaverin and Charles p.
Turner, husband of the. plaintiff in
the suit AS Mr.. Heaverin was the OPP
ponent of Chief Justice Settle in the
| recent election, he did not sit in the
case. The question was decided to-
day for the first time in Kentucky
While the common law, the Court
says is unequivocally against the
maintenance of such action, vet under
the provisions of the married woman's
act of 1894, which is now Section 212S
Of the Kentucky Statutes, the right tc
maintain such a suit is given. The
sum of $4,000 is asked. The parties
live at Hartford Kentucky.

HOLLAND REGARDS KAISERAS
DISTINGUISHED foreigner"
One Who Sought Refuge and Has
Claim to PrOtectiOn-Sulte
Interned.

Amerongen, Holland, November 16
William Hohenzollern has not been
interned by the Netherlands govern
ment. He is regarded rather as dis
tinguished foreigner who has sought
refuge and who has a claim to protec-
ton. Presumably he is free to go
where he likes, but the fact that his
suite actually has been interned re-
stricts his movements.
The former crown prince has been
interned at the castle owned by his
friend, Count Gisbert Wolff Meter
mich, at Swalmen, town in the prov
ince of Limburg, Holland. It is re-
ported that his wife is with him
Count Won Bentinck explained today
that the former crown prince, as we'll
as the former emperor, ceased to be
soldiers when they abdicated. Moth
ing is known at the castle concerning
the former emperor's future move
ment or as to the whereabouts of the
former empress.
The former emperor was seen to-
day strolling about the castle ground
with Count Won Bentinck and the
counts son. He wore a gray military
overcoat. In the afternoon he was
shown over the castle of Zulenstein
mile aWay and the residence Of
Count Won Bentinck's brother.
The members of the former emper-
or's suite today surrendered theil
swords to Dutch officials. They prev
iously had surrendered their other
arms and today's formality, completed
the act of internment.
