RECRUITING
PARTY FROM
NAVY COMING
First Concrete Motor Boat In United
States WIN Carry Naval Recruit.
ing Party Here Tomorrow.

The first concrete boat to traverse
the Ohio river will be in the Mays
VILE harbor tomrrow evening and Will
remain in local waters until Monday
morning in the interest of recruiting
for the United States Navy.
The little boat has been attracting
much attention in the up-river dis
trict and reports come from the cities
in that district that many men have
been coming to the colors because of
the boats trip.
The Concrete" was built by lum-
herman on the Great Lakes in 1914
and was used as a pleasure boat on
the lakes for some time. 1t was then
given to the Naval Recruiting sta
ton at Chicago by the lumberman and
since that time it has been used in
recruiting campaigns, This is the
first power motor boat to be built OF
concrete in the United States and the
first concrete boat of any description
on the Ohio river. The method of con-
struction is to pour the concrete in
to a mold, of the form of boat, and
then let it harden, when the mold Is
removed leaving the perfect boat.
A committee of the city's leading
business men who have been selected
by Mayor Thomas NJ. Russell, VIII
meet the boat and extend a welcome
to the crew. Every one who IS IN
tcrested in the development of con-
crete boat building is urged to see the
boat and examine it carefully. Many
| will take rides in the craft and espe-
cially young men interested in the OPP
portunities offered them to serve their
country in the navy, are asked to visit
the boat.
This is the first time in the history
of Maysville that Naval Recruiting
party has come here on their owr
craft and much interest will no'douD
he taken in the little craft.

WIND And rain DOES
DAMAGE IN COUNTY
Mill Creek Goes on Rampage in the
Wed0nia Observation-Disclosures
Wind Lays Much Corn to the
Ground.

The rain and wind in yesterdays
storm seems to have done consider
able damage in various parts of the
county and in adjoining counties. Re-
ports reaching Maysvlle last night
and this morning are to the effect that
much corn has been blown to the
ground by the wind but it is hoped
that this will not seriously damage
the crop.
In the Helena and Wedonia neigh
borhood of Mason county quite bit
of damage was done. Mill Creek near
Wedonia is said to have been higher
than it has in recent years. The wat
er so filled the creek that the banks
were soon over flown and for the first
time in many years the creek was in
buildings. Cords store near Wedonia
was flooded with the creek water but
it is understood no great amount of
damage was done.
Mr.. Sterling Davis, in the Helena
neighborhood, had large barn blown
down by the high wind but it is said
to have been fully covered by insur-
ance.
From other parts of the county
come reports of small bridges being
carried out and lighter damage being
done.

FARMERS CROWD STREETS
WITH WHEAT WAGONS
City Took on the Appearance Of a
Wheat Growing Center When
Farmers Delivered Crops
Yesterday.

It's been many a day since the
streets of Maysville were so filed
with wagons loaded with wheat as
they were yesterday afternoon. The
farmers throughout Mason county
have now about finished their thresh-
ing and they are hurrying their grain
to market as soon as possible.
]. c. Everett & Company, local
grain, dealers, are handling practical
" all of the wheat coming to this
market. The price fixed by the Fed
eral government is being paid and the
farmers all seem very well pleased
with the money they are getting out
of their crop. The wheat acreage in
Mason county this year was much
larger than usual and WNile the crop
did not turn out as well as the farm
ers expected, the money they are re-
ceiving for their wheat crop will
mount into the thousands of dollars.
The other grains raised in this
county this year are said to have
turned out even better than the farm
ers had expected Rye is said to have
been unusually good and while much
of it will be used for stock feed or to
SOW next year, there will be quite a
bit of it ground for food for the farm
ers and their families and the demand
for rye foods on the market are get
ting stronger every day.

STREET WALKERS MUST
CLEAR STREETS AT 8 P. N.
Judge Whitaker Sounds Warming to
COlOred Women Of Questionable
Character in Police Court.

Lucille Leavell, called Topsy, who
was before Police Judge John L..
Whitaker Thursday afternoon and
was returned to Jail when she became
uhruly in court, was brought eout
again yesterday afternoon and SEN
tence was passed upon her.
Judge Whitaker explained to her
that the officers we're getting very
tired of complaints about her and
that in the future they would keep a
very close watch on her. He placed
her under one hundred dollar peace
bond for a period of twelve months
and explained to her that she must be
off the streets when the city town
clock struck eight and that she must
not be seen on the streets after that
hour
This announcement of Judge Whit
aker in this case was the sounding OF
the keynote in a campaign to be
launched by Chief of Police Ort and
his men on all negro women of ques-
tionable character in the city. 1t is
pointed out that there are quite a
number of negro women who pal with
Topsy and that this eight o'clock cur
few will apply to all of them in the
future. All of these women who are
not off the street when the town
clock strikes eight will be taken up by
the police and charges will be placed
against them in Police Court.

Navarro Cafe and Billiard PaflOrs
MANY LOCAL men OF
DRAFT AGE JOINED NAVY
Order Announced Yesterday VIII In
terfere With Plans of Several
Class One Men in This
County.

The announcement made yesterday
by the Mason County Exemption
Board that they had received orders
from the adjutant general instructing
them to refuse and further release of
Glass l men to join the navy or mar
inc corps, has affected many men in
this county for it is understood that
there are several of the men now in
Glass / who had contemplated volun-
teering because they preferred the
navy or marines to the army.
Since the war began many men in
Mason county who were called in the
draft have secured their release from
the local board to join other branches
of the army but the rule issued by the
board yesterday takes away from the
young men this opportunity to choose
some other branch ofthe service.
All of the men now in Class l al
over the country will be needed TO
the August call, it has been intimate'
from Washington and this is taken a
grounds for the belief that the Au
gust call will be much larger thai
any call yet made this summer. Masol
county at present does not have
very large number of men in Glass
and it may be necessary for close
oombing out of other classes to fill u
the county's quota for the balance O
the year.
