MAYSVILLE WILL
See NO SHORTAGE
OF ice THIS YEAR
Maysyille Ice Company Has the Sit
uatiOn Well In Hand and Prom
ises Plenty Of the Frozen
Wafer.

There will be no ice shortage in
Maysville this year according to Mr..
w. Hall Strobe, of the Maysville Ice
Company.
Several of the towns and cities
nearby in Kentucky and other states
are urging upon the people to be
careful not to waste their ice in any
way as an ice shortage is threatened.
The shortage of the chemicals ne
cessary in the manufacture of ice is
the prime cause for the shortage and
the labor question also figures in this
summer time necessity as it does in
most everything else just at this time.
In taking to a Ledger man yester-
day, Mr.. STROBE said his plant was
in better condition this year than it
had been for many summers. The
large storage rooms only recently
built at the Maysville Ice Plant are
full of ice and the plant is working
fine this year. Mr. Strobe says that
his company has on hand sufficient
supply of the necessary chemicals to
carry them through this summer and
that his storage rooms are well filled
so that any trouble that might arise
in the plant might he remedied and
the city would still be supplied with
plenty of ice
Despite these conditions however,
it is pointed out that no ice should be
wasted as has been done all over the
country before the nation entered the
war and conservation became the
watchword of those left at home.

PRESSURE is
KEPT Up ON
RETREATING FOE
Important Advances Made by Allies
Violent Attacks on Both Sides
Of Huns Line.

With the American Army in France,
July 24-Both sides of the pocket in
the German lines have been scenes of
the most violent attacks and counter
attacks throughout the past night and
morning. Few Quotations of the
line have occurred but in all these
they favored the Allies who kept up
an incessant pressure on the retreat
ing Germans who are endeavoring to
cover the withdrawal of the bulk of
their troops from imminent danger.
Southwest of Rheims the Germans
have shown their disappointment ovei
their inability to hold with their crack
divisions their positions around Vrig-
ny and have turned all their available
artillery on the British and French
who drove them out, but the enemy
could not prevent a still further ad-
vance today.

Behind the British Lines in France,
June S.-The British soldier has
some novelties in athletic diversions.
Wrestling on mules, for instance, is
a spectacular sport. 1t is team
event. Four stout men from the
transport section, stripped to the
waist and mounted on bareback
mules, represent each battalion, and
the team which has the last surviv-
or wins.
Beginning, each man singles out an
opponent from the other side and
makes for him. Four desperate
struggles ensue, and it Is easy to see
that whichever side gains the first
victory is pretty sure to win. Thus,
4 if Warwick unforeseen more
strictly unmules-a Bedford, there
are four Warwicks left to three Bed
fords so that, of the three battles
still in progress, one is two-to-one
affair. In the end it is likely to be
four to one, and an unhappy bust
ress for the one.
Perhaps the most surprising thing
about it is the kindly way in which
! the mules take to it. Their oppor.
tunities for biting suitably placed
bodies are unlimited, but they seem
more or less Indifferent as to which
side they favor.
Pillow fighting in gas masks, seat
ed astride a pole, affords plenty of
sport for the spectators. The pole
may not be touched with the hands
so that there is nothing to keep the
contestants on it but balance. AS
often as not the first blow finishes
the contest If Soldier No. | lands
blow on his opponents head, over
goes the opponent, but if the head
OF Soldier No. 2 is not here to take
the blow, the swing of the pillow is
quite likely to dispose of Soldier No.

may hit, both miss, and both disap.

Mop-fghting, in which the contest.

other man, also makes an amusing

MEN IN RAILROAD SHOPS
MAY HAVE LONGER DAY
Mechanics DO less Work in Eigh,
Hours Than in Ninc
or Ten.
OPINION OF OFFICIALS GIVEN
Federal Regional Director Suggests
Lengthening Time Schedule for
Roundhouse Workcrs-Piccc Basis
Effective.
IRY Associated press.l


WASHINGTON. February 2o.-Ad-
vantage of the eight-hour day rs de-
scribed to the railroad wage commits
sion by representatives of the en-
ployees, were questioned to-day by
operating officials who at the same time
disclosed that representatives. of the
Federal railroad administration were
considering the advisability Of length
eninG tho work day in the shops in
order to hasten repairs.
w. j. Tollcrton, general superinten-
dent of motive power for the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific. read n tele-
gram from r. II. Ashton, western
regional director. which asked:
do you not believe we are justified
in working locomotive roundhouse as
many hours as possiOle?"
MIR, Tollerton said he had replied.
recommending Il ten-hour day, provid-
ed the unions would accept time and
4 half for the tenth hour as is now
paid for the ninth, instead Of exactinG
penalty OF five hours pay for the tenth
hour. according to existing agreements.
Ito declared there WAS no surplus sup
ply OF mechanics, and that he beloved
mechanics very shortly would be used
exclusively in essential" production to
carry the country through the present
crisis.
D. Il. McBain, of the New York Cen
trail lines west, said the nine and ten
hour shifts of workers had been the
salvation" Of his road during the win
ter in enabling all the motive power
20 he kept in commission.
You do not believe that a man does
as much Work in eight hours as In
tenn" Secretary Lane, chairman Of the
commission, asked both witnesses, re-
calling the contention of union leaders
that the ciGht-hour day resulted in as
much work per man as the longer shift,
because of increased efficiency.
That has not been our experience"
Mr. Tollerton said
I'VE get as much work out OF the
last hour on the piece basis as the first
hour" Mr.. McBain replied. That's
what pulled us through"
Commissioner McChord said the In
terstate Commerce Commission has in
formation that some shops are not
working as much rs eight hours Mr.
Tollerton said lie did not think that
applied TO the West.
