GROCERS MEET TO
CONSIDER SUGAR
Sugar Situation viii BE Fully Dis
cusscd by GrOcers at Meeting to
BE Held Tonight.

A meeting of the grocers of Mays
vile and Mason county will be held
at the Chamber of Commerce this
evening when the sugar situation will
be fully discussed. 1t is planned for
County Food Administrators w. d.
Cochran, who spent yesterday in Lou
isville in conference with State Food
Administrator Fred NJ. Sackett to tell
the grocers something about the sit
uation.
Although there is a great deal of in
convenience connected with handling
sugar under the present system of the
government, all dealers in food stuffs
are required by the Food Administra-
ton to handle the same and in an
other part of this issue a statement
from Administrator Sackett on this
subject is printed.
Inasmuch as all grocers are requir-
ed by the government to handle sugar,
it is expected that most every grocer
in the city and county will be present
at this evenings meeting so that he
may learn all he can about this sub
ject
All of the governments blanks will
be explained and the meeting will be
we'll worth the time of the groccrs.

Changes Made.

Since the meeting of the Board of
Directors of Ruggles Campmeeting on

have been made in the plans for the
campmeeting. The evangelist, DR.. T.

ced to conduct the evangelistic ser
vices, sent word that his work in Ash
land demands his presence there. This
message put the Board in quite a pre-

cured the Rev. ID. Lee Aultman as the
headliner preacher for the first Sun
day. and the Rev Don w. Nichols,
evangelist of note, and with a vast
experience in foreign mission work,
to conduct the evangelistc services
for the second week. DR.. Aultman is
favorite with Ruggles campers. He
will be welcomed back with a glad
hand The crowds will surely come
to hear him. DR.. N3chols will be new
at the camp. But with his talent
along the revivalistic line he will not
be long in winning his way into the
favor of the campers. There will, al
so be change in musical directors,
one that will be very pleasing to ev-
cry one. Announcement later.

MASONIC MEETING
IS CALLED OFF
COlOred MaSOns Definitely Decide to
Do Away With Annual Meeting
Which Was to Have Been
Held Here.

1t became definitely known yester-
day that the annual meeting of the
Grand Lodge of Colored Masons which
was to have been held in this city
next month has been postponed for
the year when officers of the local
colored lodge of Mason received a
communication from the State Secre-
tary announcing the result OF an cleo
ton held recently with all of the
lodges in the state voting.
The annual meeting is being post
poned because of war conditions. The
increase in railroad fares would in all
probabilities reduce the number of
delegates attending and taking into
consideration the fact that everything
has greatly increased in cost because
of the war it was the opinion of the
members Of the majority of lodges in
the state that the meeting for this
year should be postponed.
The colored people of Maysville will
be greatly disappointed in that the
grand lodge will not meet here. Some
have already gone to considerable
trouble and expense and to these the
officers of the local lodge which had
planned to entertain the visitors have
extended their thanks.

injured as to be unable to walk and a
physician was called by the Street
Car Company officials. After eXamin-

she was not badly injured but she in
sisted that she was unable to walk
and a vehicle was secured by the car
men from a livery barn and she was
removed to her home on Hord's Hill.
No part of the car struck her and
if she is at all badly injured, which
would be opposed to the first eXamina-

those injuries in the fall from the

GRANDMOTHER WAS THE DRUG
GIST

In the early days of our country
grandmother was the druggist, and
her drugs consisted mostly of roots
and herbs gathered from the fields
and forests. There was peppermint
for indigestion, mullen for coughs,
sukllcap for nervousness, thorough
wort for colds, NORWOOD for bruises
and sprains and so on. They we're
successful remedies, too. 1t was from
a combination of such roots and herbs
that Mrs. Lydia f. Pinkham of Lynn,
Mass, more than forty years ago,
originated her now famous Vegetable
Compound; and during all these long
years no other remedy has ever been
discovered to restore health to ailing
women so successfully as this good
old-fashioned root and herb medicine.

GREENE Line
may INSTALL
WHARF HERE
Captain Phister Does Not Feel Like
Purchasing New WharfbOat for
Maysville II Greene Line Of
Steamers Install Their
Own Wharf Here.

The owner of a wharfboat now To-
Gated at Rome, Ohio, was in the city
yesterday calling on Captain C. M.
Phister to make him a proposition for
the sale of the boat and its removal to
this place, however no definite decis-
ion was reached and so far no other
steps have been made by Captain
Phister to secure boat for this
place.
The delay in securing wharfboat
for Maysville is due, in great part,
to the report that in the very near
future the Greene Line of Steamboats,
expect to have their own wharf at
Maysville and in the event Captain
Gordon Greene installs his own
wharfboat at this point it would be
folly for Captain Phister to go to
the expense of purchasing boat for
there are but few steamboats, that OPP
crate on this section of the Ohio river
except those owned and controlled by
the Greene line.
Two wharfboats would not pay in
Maysville and should the Greene line
install a boat at this place it would
likely force Captain Phister out of
the business of handling freight.
However, the Captain is the wharf
master of the city, so elected by the
Board of Council and city wharfage
would have to be paid him no matter
who owns and operates the wharfboat
unless Council should see fit to elect
another in his place at the next cleo
ton which will not be held until De-
cember of this year.
without a wharfboat, however, Cap
tain Phister and his crew of men have
been able to handle the large amount
of freight coming to Maysville by riv-
er promptly and we'll.
All indications are that the bust
ness of handling freight by river
which has been revived only in the
past few months will continue TO
grow with the congestion of the rail-
roads and that during the next few
years there will be much more freight
handled by river than has ever been
handled on the boats.
Should the Greene line install a
wharfboat at this point there would
be no change made in the prices now
charged for wharfage as these prices
are not fixed by the wharfmaster or
the owner of the freight boat but they
are fixed by City Council in ordinance
and the prices now being charged by
CAPTAIN Phister and which have been
charged by him for the past several
years. were fixed by the City Council.

VOLUNTEERS COMING IN SLOW

Sergeant Simmons in charge of the
local army recruiting station says
that recruits have been rather slow
during the past few days in coming
to the colors. So far this month only
four young men have offered them
selves here but he attributes the lag
ging to the fact that the farmers are
now very busy with their crops and
the young men are helping with the
harvest before leaving the farms to
join the colors.

ALL WHOOPING COUGH SHOULD

The City Board of Health will have
considerable trouble in enforcing
their rule against children with
whooping cough going about to pub
bile gatherings and running about on
the streets unless the cases are re-
ported to them. All cases where ply
slcians are called in are promptly re-
ported to the Health officer by the
physicians but in many cases parents
do not call physicians and the cases
are not recordede, All cases of
whooping cough should be promptly
reported to the City Health officer,

new TURN IN DRAFT
EVASION CASES TAKEN
Mason County Lawyer Indicted in
Fereral Court on Serious Anti
draft Charge Leaves Today to
TO Enter Upon Govern
ment Work - Some
Think Case May
BE Dropped.

The case in Federal Court against
David II. Meyers, Lewisburg, attor-
ney, indicted for assisting an attempt
at draft evasion. seems to have taken
a new turn with the announcement
that Meyers left this morning for
Philadelphia where he has accepted
a position in a government ship yard
as a painter.
1t Is understood that Meyers has
contracted TO work in the ship yards
until the close of the war and some
here seem to think that this will be
the last chapter in the case which has
caused so much interest throughout
Mason county while there are others
who are of the opinion that Meyers
will be required to return for trial
when his case is called before Judge
Cochran in Covington on August 5th
and that the case will be prosecuted
despite the fact that he has entered
upon government work.
1t is pointed out that the action of
Meyers in taking up government work
could have no effect upon the indict-
ments against ]. II. Orme except that
Meyers is considered one of the chief
witnesses in this case.
Just what effect this step on the
part of Meyers will eventually have in
the cases now pending will be watch
ed with great interest here.
