.SARDIS Pike TO Be
REPAIRED With
AID OF STATE
State Engineer VIII Arrive within
Next Few Days to Make Final Sur
yey of the Sardis Pike and
Work VIII BE Started \On
Reconstruction Within
Few Weeks.

Representatives of the State Engi-
neers' Office met here yesterday with
the Mason County Commissioners and
1t was finally decided to reconstruct
the Sardis pike this year with the as
sistance of the state aid road fund.
An engineer from the state depart
ment will be sent to Maysville with
in the next few days and will make
a complete survey of the pike Plans
of the proposed construction will
then be drawn and the contract
awarded so that work can be started
within very short time and so that
the work can be completed before
the winter season comes.
1t is the purpose of the Commits
sioners to reconstruct the Sardis pike
from it's junction with the Lexington
pike to the Robertson county line and
the work to be done will be of last
ing character so that the heavy loads
which will likely be hauled over this
pike during the coming winter will
not tear it up as has been the case
in the past.
Probably no road in all of Mason
county needs the attention of the
county officials more than does the
Sardis pike and there are few roads
that are worth any more to Mason
county than this pike This Sardis
pike is especially busy during the to-
bacco season and with the pike in
first class condition there Will be
much Robertson county tobacco which
during the past few seasons has been
going to other markets that will be
sent to the Maysville market. The
people of Robertson county prefer to
do business in Maysville but because
of the condition of the Sardis pike
they have been compelled to go else
where.
Under the provisions of the State
Engineers Office, all road work done
with State Aid must be done on plans
approved by the State Highway De-
partment and for this reason the Com
missioners will be unable to do any
thing on the wor kuntil the plans ap-
proved by the state are received.

Fifty ACRES TO
Be PLANTED IN
FRUIT ORCHARD
Maysville Land and. Fruit Company
WIN Plant Fifty Acres of Their
Greenup County Farm In Or
chard This FalI-0fiicers
Return From Inspec-
tiOn Trip.

Officers of the Maysville Land and
Fruit Company, which was incorpor-
ated here several months ago and
which owns very large farm in
Greenup county, returned yesterday
from an inspection trip in Fleming
county where they visited and in
spected the famous Bald Hill Orchard.
The owners of the Maysville con-
cern were very much pleased with
what they saw and learned in Flem-
ing county on this trip and are certain
that if the Bald Hill farm has been
such a great success with their quail
ity of land that their Greenup county
farm will be a great success for the
quality of land is said to be much
better.
Plans are now being made to plant
fifty acres of the Greenup county
farm this fall in orchard. The most
of the trees will likely be apples and
special attention will be given for
the next few years to the cultivation
of fruit.
While the large farm is being cul-
tivated extensively this year in to-
bacco and corn, the purpose OF the
company was to establish one of the
biggest orchards in the state and ev-
erything necessary to the cultivation
of first class fruit farm will be fur
nished the tenants.

ALLIES HOLD
GROUND AGAINST
COUNTER ATTACKS
Forces Of Democracy Pause in On
ward Rush, Although No Ground
Has Been Given Under Heavy
Smelling by the Enemy.

With the British Army in France,
August 13-Ground gained by the AL
lied armies in the second battle of the
Somme is being held by them every
where, although they have been paus-
ing for more than "a hours. The har-
assed and disorganized forces of the
enemy have launched several counter
attacks, it is true, but none of them
have carried the Germans anywhere.
AS matter of fact the small, but
nevertheless important local gain
made by the Allies just north of the
Somme river, to say nothing of other
successful minor operations for i'm
proving positions more than trebly
outweigh the small gains made by the
Germans and the heavy cost, at two
places in the line.
Strong concentrations have been re-
ported between Roye and Fouques-
court but so far they have done moth
ing, it was really thought they are for
an offensive purpose. In the north
ern battle area, especially in the Bray
region, new enemy offensives, barbed
wire has been found, while earth
works are being constructed at sever
al places behind the German lines
Probably the enemy has removed
much of his material and has sent in
nearly all the reinforcements he
cared to risk at the present time.
Morlancourt is being heavily she'll
ed, while the enemy, with aerial
bombs, has apparently attempted to
blow up the ammunition dumps he
left in his hurry to get away.
British and French guns have been
busy today pounding German rear
areas and the crossings over the
Somme.
Enemy shells that are coming in
are being fired at extreme range, pro-
badly from we'll on the other side OF
the Somme. This is especially true
of shells aimed at the districts south
of the Amiens-Nesle road.
Between the Ancre and the Somme
the operations of the British resulted
in small advance and the capture OF
enemy positions, provoked only a
scattered shelling from field guns.
British airplanes continued to drop
tons of shells on the enemy, especial
ly in the neighborhood of Peronne,
Enemy transports are also suffering
from the British bombers, one of them
secured a direct hit on a transport
train on the Ham-Nesle road, 1t is
now established that a giant Gotha,
with five engines, which was brought
down a few nights ago near Talmas,
carried a crew of nine, all of whom
were killed.

Bradstreet's Vermont Weekly Trade
Report.

Bradstreet's Burlington, VT, office
under date of July 20, reports manu-
| featuring centerS are reporting con-
siderable business ahead in most
| lines.
With the furniture manufacturers
there is business ahead for several
months.
Veneer plants are receiving gov
eminent orders and these are taking
precedence over civilian business.
Retail business in lumber trade has
been affected by limited amount of
construction work. Orders for job
bers handling government contracts
are coming in freely and some plants
report a liberal decrease in manufac-
tured stock on hand. Turned wood
novelties are in demand. Considera-
BILE government business in this line
has been placed with the manufacture
ing plants in this state able to handle
same.
The work of harvesting crops is a
problem although in certain sections
volunteer labor has come forward to
devote a small portion of rest peri
DDS to this work. Farmers in COM
menting on recent wet period are of
the opinion that while some hay has
been lost and damaged, by early har-
vest, that uncut, is a large percentage
and has developed materially and this
development will help to replace that
lost.
Creameries are closing in various
points of the state owing to unprof-
table returns.
Retail trade is reported as not as
! large as it was two months ago. Buy
ing on the part of jobbers and from
them in food stuffs is still heavy.
Collections with certain lines of
wholesale and jobbing interests are
reasonably good but slow payments
come from merchants.
Two small failures affecting mer-
camille interests were reported for the
week just closed.

Market Your Eggs at Higher Prices.

Money is being made today in Ver-
mont with poultry even under the
present grain prices. 1t can only be
done, however, by stopping all leaks
and wastes Judging by the quality
and condition of eggs that appear On
the average market, there is much
need of more attention 20 grading,
cleanliness and marketing methods.
This will improve the appearance of
are done, look to your selling price.
One example which illustrates this
point is the fact that one grocery store
was paying the farmer SO cents per
dozen and less than Is miles away
eggs were selling at retail in stores
at so cents per dozen. The farmer
should get some of this IA cents diff
ference by forming egg circles or
some cooperative means of selling.
You may not have eggs enough
yourself to bother, but there are eggs
enough in your section to pay to CEN
tralize the production into one party's
hauds. Have him or her candle,
grade and pack the eggs attractively
and also attend to the shipping and
marketing. You have to deliver your
to the headquarters of Community
Egg Circle of which you are a men,
Der, and know that you are getting
all that you can possibly receive for
your eggs. 1t is not expected that
you would receive all of this IA cents
difference, because there would be
the transportation, Gambling, and
grading charges, etc., which would
amount to around 3 cents per dozen.
But if you could get even cents to
10 cents more per dozen on ten-doz-
en- hen per year, this would make
$50 to $1.OO more profit to you.
1t would probably be necessary to
have Gambling, grading and packing
demonstration in your section. This
can be had at no expense to you or
the organization by writing to your
county agent or the Extension Ser
vice of the University of Vermont, or
directly to the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington.
