HEADQUARTERS
ARE ESTABLISHED
FOR WORKERS
Food Conservation Chairman Opens
Headquarters But Needs
Office Fixtures.

Large orders are sent to the Food
Conservation Chairman of Mason
county from the Kentucky Headquar-
ters of the United States Administra-
ton with the modest statement that
there is no appropriation for carrying
out the instructions and with the gen.
tie suggestion that ''no doubt your pa
trlotic elbow citizens will see that you
are equipped with the necessary ia
cilities for doing this work"
Until now no such call has been
made upon fellowpatrlots, but the de-
mands of the work are such that 1t is
no longer possible to do 1t without q
room and equipment. The Food Ad-
ministrator for Mason county waved
magic wand and found the money
necessary to rent room on the East
side of Sutton street opposite the
Kentucky Bottling Company.
Through the kindness of Mrs. w. G.
Lewis, Mr.. Robert Luman, the City
Mission, Mr.. James Piper, Mr.. John
Brsbois, Mr.. Frank Rarkley and Mr..
John Mahoney, the room is provided
with tables and benches.
1t needs:
1. A small table or stand for type
writer.
2. Chair for typist.
3. Chair for Chairman.
4. Other chairs for helpers and
visitors.
s. White oil cloth, linoleum, mat
ting or rug for center of room.
The articles are mentioned in the
order of their Importance. No doubt
there are many households that have
a small table, stand or chairs thai
could be loaned without inconven-
fence and that will answer the pur.
pose. Please look in the attic and lie
it be known if you find these needed
articles. If any one was a discard
ed floor covering, il will be appre
ciated.
With the aforementioned articles
the room will be ready for work.

OFFICIALS DENY
PERSISTENT RuMORS
ABOUT RED CROSS
Maysyllle Chapter Of the American
Red Cross Receives Official
Denial Of Reports.

Persistent rumors circulated about
that knitted articles for the soldiers
are not sanctioned by the government
Some magazines have even been mis-
led into printing articles, which would
suggest that the good women of the
land have been doing a lot unneces-
sary work. Much however Is not the
case. In reply to a communication
from the local chapter of the Red
Cross, tine following letter has been
received from headquarters of the
Lake Division of the American Red
Cross:
Cleveland, Ohio, July 10, 1918.
Maysville Chapter, American Red
Cross, Maysville, Ky.
Gentlemen:
Responding to your letter of recent
date. The article that appeared in the
Literary Digest was most unfortunate
and has led many to believe that the
government does not sanction the CIV
ing of knitted articles by the Red
Cross to the soldiers who are in SER
vice. This is not true, as the boys
receiving the same by order of their
commanding officers and during last
winter the wearing of these articles
saved many a boy from a severe ILL
ness AS you probably know, the Gov
eminent has taken over the entire
problem of wool in this country and
the War Industries Board will first
see that all Government orders are
filled and will then release a certain
amount of wool to the American Red
Cross which will be used by the Red
Cross for the making of knitted ar
ticles. Therefore, you can see that
the Government sanctions the use OF
wool for this purpose, which they
would not do if they had forbidden the
wearing of these articles by the boys
in training
We further state that the Red Cross
has never asked of anybody anything
that was not needed and that was moi
fully authorized by the government
and it would never ask for anything
except so needed and so authorized.
Very truly yours,
E. E. ABBOTT, Director
Bureau of Development

It was a small job and they were

to mark the vote on the ballot stubs
but the commissioners we're able to
find the vote from the certificates Of
