The CONCRETE may
REACH MAYSVILLE TODAY
First Concrete Boat on the Ohio River
Which Has Had Many Mishaps
Now Has Good Water-NO
Definite Word Received.

The concrete launch Concrete"
which was due to arrive in Maysville
Sunday evening but which was held
UP at up-river points because OF low
water and several little mishaps, left
Huntington yesterday morning and
as the rains in the upstream district
will raise the river considerably, it
is expected she will now move along
in good time and she may be able
to reach this place some time late to-
day.
Many people were on the river
bank Sunday evening to meet the boat
and were somewhat disappointed but
il is expected that as soon as she ar
rives in port the word will be passed
around and there will gather quite a
good sized crowd to see her and to see
her camouflage.
Nothing definite has been heard
from the craft since she left Hunting
ton yesterday but it is expected that
Mayor Russell will receive a tele-
phone message from the skipper when
she reaches Manchester and the word
will then be passed around.

Prizes TO Members Of State
Pig Club.

Lexington, Ky.-The boys of Ken
lucky have responded to the emerg-
ency call for the increased produc-
ton of food by more than doubling

Agricultural Club. To date there are
enrolled more than 5000 members
under the following projects: Pig
Club, Corn Club, Poultry Club, Po-
tato Club, Tomato Club, Dairy Calf
Club, Soy Bean Club, Etc.
Governor A. o. Stanley has recently
become interested in the progress OF
the boys club work and has offered
as a prize at the Kentucky State Fair
trio of pure-bred Tamworth pigs to
the winner of the pig club contest.
Governor Stanley is feeding his pigs
according to the directions issued to
the Pig Club boys of the state and is
highly pleased with the development
and growth secured during the brief
period he has been following these in
structions.
There will be an extended exhibit at
the State Fair of all products raised
by the Agricultural Club members
this fall, including an exhibit of from
80 to 100 pigs and 25 to 80 pens of
chickens; also large exhibits of corn,
potatoes. soy beans, beef calves, dairy
calves, etc, for which the State Fair
has provided $1,000 in premiums.
The State Fair Board and the Col
lege of Agriculture has provided for
the annual farm boys encampment,
The winning boy in the Agricultural
Club from each county will be a rep
resentative at this camp and will re-
ceive his railroad fare, board and
lodging free. Provision has also been
made for the instruction of these boys
while at the State Fair by members
of the staff at the College of Agricul-
ture and prominent live stock men
over the state. Arrangements have
also been made to hold series of
stock judging contests among the
boys, for which prizes will be offer

OHIO RIVER GIVEN
SLIGHT BY MCADOO
Appropriation Recommended For
Barges on the Ohio Is Diverted
to Alabama Stream.

Washington, D. C.-Declaring that
there is every indication that the
South is in the saddle and that there
is gross discrimination against the
North in the allotment of funds to
provide barges and other means of
water transportation of freight, SEN
ator James e. Watson, of Indiana, is
preparing to introduce resolution of
inquiry calling on Director General
of Railroads McAdoo to inform Con-
gress why $S,OOO,OOO has been allotted
for barges on the Mississippi River
and the Warrior River in Alabama,
and not one cent for barges on the
Ohio River. Senator Watson also will
make a speech in the Senate on the
subject
Senator Watson's office Sunday
made public the following letter writ
ten by the Senator to Arthur F. Funk
houser, of Evansville, Ind
81 had definite information from
Judge Prouty, of the Railroad Admin
istrative Board, that he had recon-
mended the expenditure of SS.000,000
for construction of barges for the
Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The re-
commentator was made to Director
General McAdoo. 1t appears, how
ever, that the latter gentleman has
accepted only that portion of the rec
ommendation relating to the Missis-
sippi River and has appointed one M.
]. Saunders, of New Orleans, as Fed
eral Manager of this new enterprise.
Enclosed is a copy of Secretary Nc
Adoo's order on the subject You will
note that he places Mr.. Saunders in
charge also of the Alabama coal fields
and permits the use of these barges
on the Warrior River.
Secretary McAdoo seems to have
ignored the Ohio River and the coal
fields of Kentucky. | wish you would
give this information to Charles Har-
metz and other business men OF
Evansville, who are Interested in the
utilization of the Ohio River for
transportation purposes"

PRIMARY ELECTION TO
Be HELD SATURDAY
Very Little Interest Is Being Manifest
In the Primary Election TO Be
Held in This State on Next
Saturday - James and
Bethurum Seem Fa-
vOrites Here.

The state primary election is to be
held on next Saturday and each of
the two great parties will select
candidate for United States Senator.
There has not been a primary cleo
ton held in Kentucky in many years
past in which there is so little inter-
est as there is in the approaching
election. In this district especially is
this true. Few Democrats know that
there is an election to be held and
the same is true of the Republicans.
1t appears now that the lightest vote
will be polled that has been polled in
Kentucky in many a year.
Only few people will talk about
the primary at all. Everyone seems
so very much interested in the great
advances being made by the allies in
Erance that they have no time for
politics. Those few Democrats who
talk at all seem to have but one idea
about the primary, however, and that
1t that Senator Ollie James, now con-
fined to Johns Hopkins hospital, will
defeat his opponent, William Preston
Kimball, of Lexington, by a great ma
jority.
The Republicans of this section
seem to favor b. ]. Bethurum, of
Someset as against Ben T.. Bruner, of
Louisville, and it seems certain that
James and Bethurum will be the can
ddates in the November election.
In the special registration held last
Saturday only twelve registered.
Eight of this number were Democrats
and three Republicans

O'CONNELL IS
HELD FOR The
next GRAND jury
Mason County Man Charged With
SeditiOus Utterances win Go Be.
fore Federal Grand Jury at
COyingtOn Next Monday.

William O'Connell, Mason county
man arrested last week on a charge
of making sedltious statements, was
given an examination before Mrs M.
V. Bell, United States Commissioner,
at her office in Covington yesterday
morning and was held to the Federal
Grand Jury under five hundred dol
lar bond. The bond was promptly
given and O'Connell returned here
yesterday afternoon.
The next Federal Grand Jury will
meet in Covington on next Monday
when Mr.. O'Connell will again be
compelled to appear in Covington.
Yesterday afternoon O'Connell
again insisted, as he did when first
arrested, that he was only testing
with q man he thought was an old
time friend but the man supposed to
be a friend proved to be a stranger
and this stranger reported the allegeA
statements of O'Connell to Federal
authorities. O'Connell says he was
drinking at the time but that his
statements were only in jest. He con-
tends that he is patriotic and loyal as
all our good citizens.
The seriousness of O'Connell's al
legged offense is said to lie in the fact
that he was discouraging a young
man who was joining the United
States army.
O'Connell says he believes that
when the Federal Jury hears and I'M
stands his case they will release him.

to others makes him very desirable
an educational secretary among the
men in training camps or in billits
overseas.

tons that might disqualify him for the

pected, however, that Mr.. Barnes will
meet with any difficulty.
