RAILROAD SHOPMEN I'
 WAGES INCREASED
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN ARE EFFECTED AND RAISE DATES FROM LAST
 JANUARY.

Washington, July 24-Wages of railroad shopmen were increased to 6S cents an hour today by Director General McAdoo, with proportional advances for assistants and miscel- ianeous classes in mechanical de- partsments which are retroactive to last January, are from five to thir- teen cents an hour higher than wages paid these men in most shops under the general wage advance al- lowed two months ago by the d- rector general, but are somewhat less than the labor organizations sought
 Beginning August 1, eight hours will be recognized as a standard work ing day and overtime, Sundays and holiday work will be paid for at the rate of one and one-half times the usual rate Back pay will be given the men as soon as it can be calcu- lated.
 The advances apply to about 500.- o0O men and aE1ly flatly to all sec tions of the country, despite local differences prevailing heretofore The addition to the new aggregate payroll is estimated at nearly $IO0.- 100000 The advance is the first ex- tensive modification of the new wage scale and was made on recom- mendation of the commission on rail- road wages and working conditions following representations of shop crafts that high wages paid machin- ists and other mechanical workers in the shipyards resulted in discrimina- ton against railroad shop employes

CLAIMS LAND IS DAMAGED;
ASK MANDATORY INJUNCTION
Lewisburg Farmer Files Suit Against
NeighbOrs Asking Court TO Re-
quire Them to Change
Water Course.

C. S. Strobe, of the Lewisburg pre-
cinct, filed suit in the Mason Circuit
Court yesterday through Attorney
Stanley F. Reed asking for manda-
tory Injunction against two of his
neighbors.
In his petition he states that he Is
the owner of tract of land in the
Lewisburg precinct and that c. c..
Lester and Fleming Muse, defendants
in the suit, are the owners of two
tracts of land adjoining him. He says
the defendants have constructed a
drain on the lands of C. C. Lester
which collects the surface water from
the tributary lands of both defendants
and discharges same, contrary to the
natural flow of the water, in a chan
mel onto plaintiffs property causing
same to overflow, become watersoak-
ed and damaging plaintiff whenever a
period of wet weather or severe rain
fall occurs.
The plaintiff prays for II mandatory
injunction requiring the defendants to
fill up and oblterate such drain, re-
storing the surface water drainage
conditions to their natural state, his
costs and all further and proper
relief.

FOOD
ORDERS UPHELD
BY LOCAL JURY
Food Administration Orders ms Re-
CARDS Flour Are Upheld BY Jury
In Magistrates COurt-Inter.
estlng Trial Held
Yesterday

A month ago the case of ]. M.
Wheatley vs.. The Sardis Milling Com
pany in Squire Fred w. Bauers court
resulted In hung jury and the case
was retired yesterday hut this time
the jury decided in favor of the de-
PENDANTS.
The case was a very peculiar one,
the first Of the kind ever to come up
for trial in Mason county and in it
figured the orders of the Federal Food
Administration on the Fifty-Fifty
plan of flour substitutes
1t seems as though Mr.. Wheatley, a
prominent citizen of the Sardis neigh
borhood, entered into contract with
the Sardis Milling Company for six
barrels of -four some time last year
before the Food Administration
strict orders were issued, and paid
cash for 1t with the understanding
that he was not to take his -four home
at one time but was to call for 1t at
the mill as he needed 1t.
Mr.. Wheatley called for three bar
rels of the -four before the Food Ad-
ministration issued it's fifty-fifty or
der and limited the sale of flour.
When he called for the fourth barrel
the milling company refused to allow
him to have it saying that the Food
Administration orders would not
permit them to sell that quantity and
that with any quantity they sold they
must sell like quantity of -four sub
stltutes.
Mr.. Wheatley contended that the
contract for the -four was made before
the Food Administrations orders
went into effect and brought suit for
the value of the three barrels of flour
he had already paid for and the mill
ing company refused to deliver.
The verdict of the jury wholly sus-
tanned the milling company in their
action holding that the governments
orders terminated all contracts made
prior to that time and that the COM
pany would have been liable to the
government had they delivered the
flour and broken the Food dministra-
tons strict orders.
The case being the first one of the
kind in the section of Kentucky at
tracted considerable interest.

MRS. ELLIS AGAIN BREAKS
ORDERS OF POLICE COURT
Mrs. Mary Ellis Leaves City Aims
House without Permission Of Ma
trOn and Is Jailed in Accord
ance With Courts Orders.

Mrs. Mary Ellis, who for some time
has been at the City Aims House and
who has given the charity workers
and civil authorities of the city pro-
badly more trouble than any other
woman in the city, is again in the
county Jail awaiting hearing this af-
ternoon in Police Court.
Several weeks ago the Ellis woman
ran away from the Aims House with
out the consent of the matron and
bothered many people down town beg
ging and telling them her troubles.
At that time she was taken in charge
and taken before Judge Whitaker who
explained to her that the city was
now giving her home and as long
as she was a charge of the city the
city would not permit her to beg or to
bother the people of the city. She
was then instructed that she must
not leave the Aims House without the
written permission of the matron.
Yesterday she was found down town
and could not show permission from
the matron She was Immediately
taken in charge by the police and will
be brought before Judge Whitaker to-
day.
Mrs. Ellis latest fad is said to be
bothering the people urging them that
they use their influence to get her
daughter, who is now in a splendid
Catholic institutional home at Gov
ington, back to Maysville.

NAME OF OIL AND GAS
COMPANY IS CHANGED
New Oil and Gas Company First Or
gadized Here as the Lewis COun-
ty Oil and Gas Company Is
Now the Cabin Greek Oil
and Gas Company.

Secretary of State Lewis last week
approved the articles of incorporation
of the Cabin Creek Oil and Gas Com
pany of this city which incorporated
with a capital stock of $4,000 and
whose incorporators are G. w. Gun
Their, F.. II. Perry and A. d. Cole.
The company was first organized in
this city several weeks ago under the
name of the Lewis county Oil and Gas
Company but they changed the name
of the concern before the articles of
incorporation were approved.
The concern owns oil leases all over
The concern owns il leases all over
gin prospecting in the neighbor county
in very short time. They have ev-
cry reason to believe that there is
considerable oil and gas in Lewis
county and expect to bring some of
it to the surface. For many years it
was thought that oil and gas abound
ed in Lewis county but this company
proposes to find out for certain.
The chief office of the new concern
will be in Maysville and now since
their charter has been granted they
will begin business at once.

PLAN INCREASED
PRODUCTION OF
WHEAT CROP
Fertilizer Dealers will Cooperate
With Farmers in Increasing
Production.

No efforts will be spared by the
Kentucky Council of Defense during
the next few weeks to get big re-
suits in a campaign designed to in
crease in large degree Kentucky's
next seasons wheat yield.
This campaign will be among the
farmers to a great extent, although
the first step was a conference at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon between
Edward w. Hines, chairman of the
Kentucky Council of Defense; Dr..
Samuel H. HALEY of Lexington, chair
man of the Committee on Agriculture,
and representatives of manufacturers
of commercial fertilizers. At this con-
ference, which was held in the offices
of the Kentucky Council of Defense in
Louisville, practical means by which
the fertilizer manufacturers may CO.
operate with the farmers was gone
over.
Farmers all over the State in local
tiles where wheat can be grown sue
cessfully are to be asked to pledge
themselves to increased acreages of
this most essential grain, as pa
triotic duty first of all. Wherever
they have been approached up to this
time they have readily agreed to meet
the requests of the Government, and,
with seeding and growing conditions
at all favorable, the outlook is for a
heavily increased production of wheat
in Kentucky next year. The Govern
ment, through the Kentucky Council
of Defense and through the various
county councils, will extend recogni-
ton to the landowners and tenants
who agree to the more-wheat sche-
dule. Posters in red, white and blue,
with the legend, 81 Am Helping to
Win the War;" have been prepared
and one will be affixed to the gatepost
of every farmer who increases his
wheat acreage as means of helping
the Government.

A COOPERATIVE
SYSTEM or STORE
DELIVERY PLAN
Is Suggested BY the Federal Service
Reserve Of the State and the Pro-
position VIII Likely BE Work.
ed Ont by Local Com
mlttee and Busl-
ness Men.

Several days ago Messrs. A. L. Merz,
Carl Dodds and George Dodson were
appointed local committee by the
Federal Service Reserve for the pur-
pose of releasing as many men as pos
sible in various work for work which
Is more essential during the war per-
iod.
The first cut suggested by the state
branch of the Federal organization
was cut In the delivery system of
the Maysville retail stores and they
suggested a cooperative system of de-
livery for all retail and even whole
sale stores of all kinds.
A survey of the number of men, ma
chimes and horses and wagons used
in the delivery of merchandise in the
city was taken and sent to the state
headquarters but up to the present
time that organization has done moth
ing in regard to the local situation
farther than to suggestion that some
cooperative system of delivery be
adopted.
The local committee has been study
ing the situation for several days and
1t is expected that they will have a
conference with the local firms using
delivery wagons and motor trucks in
| the very near future with the idea of
adopting some system of cooperation.
1t has been suggested that this city
should adopted the same sort of plan
| used in other cities about this size of
having three or four motor trucks for
the delivery of all merchandise. These
| trucks would call at every store in
the city making deliveries about twice
each day and make deliveries in each
section of the city no more than twice
each day.
The local committee will go into
this matter in the very near future
at the suggestion of the Service Re-
serve and expects to adopt some sys-
tenn that will be satisfactory to every
merchant and at the same time be
satisfactory to the customers and re-
lease some twenty or twenty-five men
and as many horses, wagons or auto
mobiles for some more necessary
| work to help win the war.

"SOILS REDEEMED, AT THE PAS
TIME TODAY

Every one should see this great les
son to girls at the Pastime today.
The play starts with prologue in
allegory, showing the origin and the
beginning of sin. In poetical at
mosphere, It is portrayed how Satan
and Sin were expelled from Heaven,
their entrance to He'll, their invasion
of the Garden of Eden, and their sub
sequent Vaccinations on earth. 1t is
seen how Satan and Sin endeavor to
pervert good, and how the spirit of
Good is in perpetual conflict with the
forces of evil. The staging of both the
allegorical scenes and the modern is
elaborate and artistic. Some of the
general effects are original and re-
markable for their novelty. The
theater management has booked this
feature at considerable cost, but is in
line with the policy of the Pastime
Theater to give its patrons the very
best that money and brains can Sc
cure.
