BUSINESS men WILL
HELP HAUL ROCK ON
COUNTY'S HIGHWAYS
Good Number of MaysviIle's Business
Men Volunteer to Work on COun.
tvs Pixies Today, Tomorrow
or Observation-Disclosures to
BE Furnished Workers.

Maysville's business men will show
in a very material way that they are
backing the County Commissioners in
their effort to give the county better
roads when some fifty business men
will don their working clothes and go
to the country this week to assist the
farmers in hauling rock onto the
pixies.
Plans have been completed to use
the business men in the rock quar-
ries and the farmers with their teams
will haul the stone to the pixies where
ever they see fit. No special place has
been designated by the Commission
ers but each farmer can haul the rock
in front Of his own farm If he so de-
sires. He will receive pay for what
rock he hauls no matter where he
hauls it. u,
A petition was circulated Saturday
by Secretary Carl Dodds, of the Mays
vile Chamber of Commerce and very
few business men refused to sign it
designating which of the three spe-
cial days this week-NIonday, Tuesday
or Wednesday he would give his SER
vices to better roads.
1t is the plan of the Commissioners
to furnish the city men their dinners
but they will receive no pay for their
work. all of them desiring to donate
that toward better roads for the coun-
ty this winter.
The interest in the good roads cam
paign is growing among the farmers
as well as among the Maysville busi-
ness men and it is expected that there
will be a very large number of farm
ers out with their teams and wagons
all three days.
The following local business men
are among those who have volunteer
ed to spend at least one day on the
roads and pixies: Harry Ellis, H. II.

charged with shooting craps in a to-
bacco warehouse all day every Sun

when his parents were unable to con-
troll him.
Judge Purnell secured a position
for him at Dam 33 but he held the job
but a few days and since that time
has not worked,

winter the line burst and there was a
great fire but employees of the Mays

the patrons could be notified by tele-
phone.
All of the gas in the main line be-
tween the gate valve at the Maysville

town pike was removed during the
work of replacing the valve. The
work was done quickly and with prac-
tically no trouble so that the reserve

Company for supplying the patrons
of the city was not interfered with at

POPULARITY

The East end bathing beach along
the Ohio river near Wood street is
growing daily in popularity. The
North Shore Beach has lost its popu-
larity with those people who live in
the East end and the East end beach
is flied most every afternoon and
evening with bathers. The East end
beach is superior in many respects
to the North Shore Beach and It Is
expected that in the near future 1t
will be more extensively used than the
beach on the Ohio side sit is much
more accessible from this side of the
river.

All plans of local people now have

that will interfere with the big meet
ing at Germantown which this year
should be bigger and better than ever
because of the many cooperative
movements with the government to be
carried out there. 1t is the opinion
of the government officials that all
farmers who can possibly do so
should attend their county fairs to
learn many things the government
will teach them there.

Further Prohibition Comment

Charges and counter charges have
been issued daily from the two
camps developed by spirituous
liquor. On the twelfth day of the
battle some new tactics may be OBJ
served in the "wet" ranks.
Goaded on by the denunciation of
liquor by the friends of prohibition,
the president of the New York State
Liquor Dealers Association has is
sued challenge. From his office at
q William Street, Henry j. Kalten-
bach writes:
81 now offer to pay to the Red
Cross the sum of $4,000 on the pro-
duction of the official records, such
as would be considered evidence in
a court Of law, to prove that the use
of alcoholic beverages is the chief
factor in causing insanity, crime,
poverty and disease"
To the Editor of The Tribune.
in The Tribune that ait has long since
been conceded that the use of alcohol
has been the chief factor in causing in
sanity, crime, poverty and disease" is
a fair sample of the grossly exagger-
ated or wholly unfounded assertions
that have been responsible for the
growth of the prohibition movement.
Conceded by whom? Certainly not, by
any one who is familiar with the facts
There is absolutely nothing in the
records of our courts. public and pri-
vate charities, hospitals and insane
asylums to justify the statement I
have quoted; but, on the contrary,
abundant proof that it is deliberate
untruth, manufactured by the advocates
of prohibitory laws, and circulated by
them for the purpose of forcing thel.
narrow views upon the public.
have repeatedly challenged the par
ties circulating the unsupported state
to furnish facts Of official record to
substantiate their claims, but they have
always failed to submit them, for the
very good reason that there are none.
If the statement in question were
true l would promptly retire from my
present business, as no right thinking
person would be identified with an indus
try causing so much injury to mankind.
With a view to pinning the prohibition
advocates down to facts, instead of
sweeping assertions, 4oav offer to
pay to the Red Cross the sum of
$4,000 on the production of official
records, such as aoould be considered
eqidence in court of la1O, to.aaea,e
that The atse of alcoholic beverages is
the chief factor IN causing insanity,
crime, poverty and disease.
That statement is either true or it
is not true. l know that it is untrue.

true to produce their proofs.
Yours very truly,
