.2,OS4 men ARE
REGISTERED IN
MASON COUNTY
COunty's Registration Goes Over State
Chiefs Estimate - 628 Men Are
Registered In the City-Die-
terich Is Banner
Precinct.

Two thousand and ninety-four be-
tween the ages of 1S and 45 inclusive
listed themselves for military service
in the special army registration held
in Mason county Thursday. OF this
number 626 were registered in the
city of Maysville.
Dieterich precinct which takes in
the government dam, was the banner
precinct of the county listing a total
of 142 men while Plumvine listed the
smallest number-52.
Registration day passed off very
quietly in Maysville and Mason coun-
ty. The registrars were on the job
early with all of their equipment and
before z o'clock they had registered
some few men who were anxious to
get their green card and get to work
early in the morning.
During the day the fact that the
election polls were open and that
men were anxious to see who regis
tered drew the usual number of men
about the registration booths and
none of the registrars lacked for com
| istrations ever held in Mason county
and as one fellow said as he signed
his name to his card, Everybody is
voting for the United States today"
There was general display of the
American flag all over the city but
there was no music and not as much
excitement as attended the first mill
tary registration when men between
the ages of 81 and 81 registered for
service.
At the request of the members of
the Mason County Board, the precinct
registrars have been coming to Doarc
headquarters in the government
building all day with their official re-
ports and their cards which will be
indexed and placed in the files of the
board for future reference. Every
registrar reported his experiences
while he was waiting for the board
members to check up his cards and
compare them with his final report
and some of them had very interest
ing experiences during the day. In
most every precinct registrars report
ed that many men had registered who
they had thought far beyond the draft
ages but in no case was any known
Stacker reported to the board for in
vestigation. 1t is more than likely,
however, that during the next few
days some may be reported who have
failed to list themselves for various
reasons and the officials will at once
be asked to assist in running to the
ground the truth of these expected re-
ports.
The official report shows the regis
tration in the entire county as fol-
lows:

The next big Job for the board will
be the distribution of the question
naire blanks which will be sent out
in a very short time and then the
work of filing out these blanks will
be the biggest jobs the local lawyers
have yet tackled.
Appeals for help in this work were
sent out by the lawyers who are re-
ceiving the hearty cooperation of the
Council of National Defense In this
work. All who will lend their assist
ance to the Legal Advisory Board are
asked to report their names to Mr.,
w. W. Ball, Jr,, and a meeting of these
volunteers will be planned for next
Monday evening at the Council Cham
ber when full instructions ON the
QUESTIONABLE and its proper exeeu-
tion Will be given by members OF the
Legal Board and by members OF the
County Draft Board.

GROCERS HAVE DROPPED SUGAR
CARD PLAN

The Maysville Grocers' Association
which has been considering the sugar
card plan for this city has practical
ly come to the conclusion to drop the
plan for this city. The present plan
of merchants selling sugar to their
customers only and the suggested
plan of the State Food Administrator
of keeping book record seems to be
working well in this city and county.

REGISTRARS HAD GREAT BIG JOB

The men who volunteered to make
the registration of men in Mason
county on Thursday had a great big
job before them and they all did it
we'll. These patriots have the thanks
of their fellow Americans for the
splendid work they did in listing the
small army in Mason county.

VINEGAR and
YEAST FACTORY
may LOCATE HERE
POgue's DistlIlery May BE Taken Over
BY Large Philadelphia Yeast
Plant Which Wants to LO.
cate In the South.

Several days ago the Maysville
Chamber of Commerce received a
communication from Myron c. Pagan,
of Chicago, in which he said that he
had been informed that Maysville had
several distillery plants that had been
discarded and that he had a concern
that wanted to locate at some place
in the South and in their business
could very nicely use a plant which
had been discarded by a distillery.
The Chicago man said that the firm
he was corresponding about was now
located in Philadelphia and that their
business had outgrown their plant and
they wanted to branch out and either
establish one large factory in the
South or two smaller plans. He said
that the firm of which he wrote had
been doing a splendid business anu
that their banker would give them
a first-class reputation and testify as
to their business.
Secretary Dodds, of the Chamber of
Commerce at once took the matter up
with Mr.. J. c. Rogers, of the Lime
stone distillery and Mr.. Thomas F.
Pogue, of Cincinnati, representing the
Pogue distillery. Mr.. Rogers was of
the opinion that his plant being off
the railroad could not be considered
but Mr.. Pogue took the matter up at
once and there is every reason to be-
lieve that Maysville will secure a new
plant.
Mr.. Pogue's letter just received by
Secretary Dodds says:
Dear Sir:
Your appreciated courtesy of Au-
gust 21st was delayed in being an
swered owing to my absence from the
city. Have taken up the matter direct
and trust may be able to interest Mr..
Pagan.
With due appreciation of your in
terest in bringing business concerns
to Maysville, remain,
Very truly yours,
THOS. F. POGUE.
| The local organization is expecting
to hear from Mr.. Pagan in Chicago
within the next few days. They will
invite his concern TO send representa-
tives to Maysville to inspect the local
distillery and it is more than likely
that Maysville will get the new plant
in short time.

3rd. and re-nominate him. In
doing so Kentucky democrats
will honor the party more than
they can possibly honor the
candidate. We dc not antici-
pate that Mr.. Kimbell, Senator
James opponent, will have
any support worthy of notice
at the primary next Saturday.
We know he would not if dem
ocrats every where felt like
they do in GarrGrd County.
Democrats on this occasion can
not afford 10 be Indifferent,
they cannot afford TO take a
chance. Senator James is too
much needed in Washington
during the future years of the
war TO let his reelection to the
Senate be in jeopardy by in
difference. We would like to
see Garrard County lead Ken
lucky democrats in casting a
full vote in Saturdays primary
for the denomination of Ken
tucky's greatest democrat.
