That is the case of the little town

Draft Law Completed.

Washington, May 13.-Final steps
toward completion of legislation
amending the Selective Service law
were taken today by Congress. a
complete agreement was reached by
Senate and House conferees on the
bill extending the law to youths at
tanning their majority since last June.
The dispute over exemption of theo-
logical and medical students from re-
gistration was compromised, with the
adoption of a provision eXemI ting
them if actually enrolled when the
act is signed, but requiring regi:tra-
ton of those who enter schools after
ward. The provision placing new re-
gistrants at the bottom of the elil li5le
lists was retained.
The bill changing the basis of draft
quotas from state populations to the
number of men in Glass | was signed
late today by Vice President Marshall
and Speaker Clark and sent to Prosi-
dent Wilson for his approval. This
measure has been before Congress for
several months. 1t will be put into
effect as soon as signed by the Presi-
dent and plans are ready for making
the May draft, already ordered, on
the new basis.

Railroad Rates Advanced.

Washington, May 13. .--Estimates
made today by Railroad Administra-
ton officials indicate that an increase
of at least 25 per cent. in freight and
passenger rates will be necessary this
wear to meet the higher costs of fuel, g,
wages, equipment and other operat-
ing expenses now set between $780,
600, 900 and $3.50, ,000,O0 more than
last year.
Recommendation that rates be
raised approximately this percentage
has been made to Director-Gcneral
McAdoo by his advisers. He is ex-
pected to act within the next six
weeks and to put increases into eff
feet Immediately. Shippers will be
permitted to appeal to the Interstate
Commerce Commission under the
Railroads act and the final decision
will be with President Wilson. Such
an increase as is proposed will he the
greatest in the history of American
railroads as the percentage sought is
! larger than any ever sought by the
railways under private management.
Both class and commodity schedules
would be affected.

How Was The Last War
Fund Spent?

1T is fair question: and it is fairly answered
4 in the detailed and itemized reports that
have been published in the newspapers of many
towns and cities of the land
You never saw it? Then ask your local
Red Cross Chapter, or write, for the Red Cross
wants you to know where your money went
They say that Red Cross supplies have way
of coming through on time. Italy surely has
found us not wanting in promptness when her
great trial came. And Roumania-they said
no allied nation could get through to help her
dire need.
But the Red Cross found way.
It's not always cheap way-"Needs must"
cost money. But did you give that money to
be saved-or to save lives? Are you not willing
to pay five dollars or fifty to bring something
of comfort to war ra.ked tortured mortal who
but for you would surely die?
And of cne thing you may be sure. Not
one penny of that Hundred Million has gone
for anything but War Relief.
YOUR Red Cross needs another hundred
million to tighten just little of the awful load
of misery "over there" Your share is all that
you can give-and then little more.
Will you hold up your end?
A solicitor will call to see you. Be ready.

Give Until Your Heart
Says Stop.

HAVE you ever lain in No Mans Land, with
shattered thigh and throat that burned
with thirst?
Has your wife ever begged food for her
children and herself at the mess-kitchen of
soldiers camp?
Has your little son ever torn his mothers
heart with plaintve cry, day after day, for
food she couldn't give him?
Has your little daughter clad in ragged
dress, her only dress, ever shivered night after
night in the ruined cellar of what was once her
home?
Has your city ever been destroyed-nay,
powdered, bricks stone, timbers and all ground
into the dust that one scarce knew where street
ended and building began?
1t is exactly such suffering that the Red
Cross is organized, here and in Europe, to re-
leve.
The Red Cross asks for One Hundred Mil
lion Dollars as the least needs to carry on this
work.
Can you-DARE YOU-refuse to give to
this work-and give till the heart says stop?
In the Red Cross there is no high salaried
bureaucracy, no extravagant administration ex
pense. All of the higher officials and nine

SOUSA'S Band CANNOT
COME HERE THIS TRIP
Effort is Being Made to Bring Great
Musical Organization to

Mayor Thomas NJ. Russell was adj
vised by telegraph Saturday after
noon by the director of Sousa's Great
Lakes Naval Band, now touring the
state of Kentucky that it was imprac-
ticable for the band to be brought to
Maysville on this trip.
This is the second time the band
has been on tour through the state
IF Kentucky and both times it has
passed up Maysville. Mayor Thomas
NJ. Russell deserves credit, however,
for this time getting on the job for as
soon as he was advised that the band
was in this part of Kentucky he got
into communication with the manage
mcnt in an endeavor to bring the or
ganization to Mason county.
Despite this failure to get this
great musical organization to Mays
vile and Mason county we may yet be
able to hear their music for It is I'M
derstood that the Mason County Coun-
Gil of National Defense Is planning tc
bring the band here in the very near

1t is pointed out that thousands of
Public Service nurses oyer the coun-

and that some one must take their
place to carry on the great work they
have begun.
1t is expected that a large number
of young women in Mason county will
| become enough interested in the cam
paign to begin the training in the very

Because of the low water in the

Vile to be brought here Saturday as

stood that the boat will be brought

1t became known Saturday that up

the Wharves and Ferries Committee
of the City Council for a license and
the chairman of the committee said
that when the application was made
a thorough understanding would be
had between the committee and the
owners of the boat.
Just what this understanding will
be is not at this time known but il
is known that the council committee
backed by the business men of thu
city will insist upon a contract II
which the schedule of wharf charge!
will be fixed by agreement between
the city officials and the owners.
The city officials will not permi
the boat to begin operations until tn

SCATTERING The
CATTLE BUSINESS
Prominent Horse Dealer Dlscardlng
Horse Business For War Period
Buys 100 Export Cattle.

Colonel Langhorn Tabb Anderson,
of Point au View stock farm, is get
ting out of the horse business and is
devoting his entire attention to the
cattle business during the period of
the war.
One of the largest cattle deals con-
sumated in Mason county in recent
years was closed last week by Mr.,
Anderson when he purchased one
hundred head of export cattle from
Mr.. Thomas A. Keith, the largest
feeder of cattle in this section of Ken
lucky, for the firm of Anderson &
Asbury.
The cattle were some of the best fed
en- a Mason county farm and the deal
involved approximately $4,000 The
cattle will be delivered at once and
will be shipped to Jersey City by
Messrs Anderson and Asbury tomor-
row.
In turning his attention to cattle
Colonel Anderson is following the adj
wise of the government and will en-
dcavor to handle as much food cat
tie for the government and the al
lies as possible. He realizes that the
horse business is a peace time occu-
patton and for this reason has dis
posed of the most of his big string
of fine thoroughbred show animals
In losing Mr.. Anderson for the period
of the war the show ring is losing one
of its livest wires and one of the most
successful handlers of show horses
in the South. He has made a very
enviable reputation in the horse bust
ness and we predict that he will not
be long in the cattle business until
his reputation will be as thoroughly
established.
