II soldier have n mine, or timber

WAR GARDENS
NOW PROVING
THEIR WORTH
Gardeners Are Now Eating Many Veg.
ctabIcS From Their Own Back
Yards and the Value of Gard
cning is Felt In the POck-
ct - Local Gardens
Doing Well.

Probably more interest was taken
in gardening in Maysville this spring
than at any other time. The war con-
ditions had so increased the prices
of all food stuffs that in the early
spring most every person living in
town who had even a small patch of
ground made an effort to grow some
thing to eat,
The ward garden advisors are re-
porting that the gardens in all sec
tons of the city have had very good
attention. Very few gardens were al
lowed to ruin because of the weeds or
because of a lack of attention to the
cultivation of the growing vegetables.
Most every gardener has already eat
en- something from his garden and
| many now know the value of such
| back yard garden from the amount
| of money +eft in their pocketbook
each Saturday night after they have
paid the grocer.
The truck gardeners in and about
| Maysville have had unusual success
this season with everything, but po-
| tatoes were almost failure but there
have been plenty of beans and toma-
toes and corn are now coming onto
the market in good lots so that within
a very few days there will be plenty
of home grown tomatoes and corn.
Not a person who has undertaken
a war garden this year is sorry that
they undertook it and many persons
who never before attempted to grow
food stuffs are very much pleased
with the success they have had ant
in all probabilities the number of gar.
dens started in Maysville next spring
will be much more than were ever
started this year.

ANTHACITE PRICES AT THE
DOCKS

An order regulating the maximum
prices for anthracite coal made from
Lake Superior and Lake Michigan
docks, on and after June 20, 1918, was
announced by the U. S. Fuel Admin
istration, last week. The prices rep
resent an advance over those obtain
ed last winter, due to increased
freight rates and the increased cost of
handling at the docks. No advantage
will result to producers, as the mine
prices for coal going to the Great
Lakes will be the same as the mine
prices for the rest of the tonnage.
The selling prices for anthracite
coal shipped from the mines on or af-
ter June 25 and received at the lake
docks and re-shipped to purchasers
buying in carload lots are as follows;
Broken, 5000; Egg, $10,10; Stove,
$1O.35; Nut, $1O.45; Pea, $3.50, These
prices are subject to a summer re-
duction of soc per gross ton until
September /, 1918. There Is differ
ence between the prices of all-rail
coal and coal moved via rail and wat
er which is represented by the amount
of deterioration

THE FRENCH ROAD SYSTEM
Engineering News Record)

every soldier owed here from the
United States will go back an enthus-
iastic good roads advocate" writes
Capt. Paul Hansen. former chief en-
gineer, Illinois State Board of Health,
from general headquarters in France
He is in the water supply service with
1t. Col. F. F. Longley, formerly with
Hazen, Whipple & Fuller. Parts of
his letter follow:
"The roads are marvellous and the
country wonderfully beautiful and
picturesque"
The French road system is a reve-
lation even in time of war, not so
much in the matter of construction
because we can and do build macadam
roads as good or better, but princi-
pally in the matter of upkeep, for
which the French have a positive gen.
ius. Roads are divided into sections
like our railroads, with little section
gangs who keep their tools in neat
little stone section tool hours. As
soon as bad spot develops on a road
II is repaired at once, an entire new
layer of broken stone and binder is
put down. The problem is simplified
very much by the fact that suitable
road metal can be found anywhere a
Jew inches below the surface"
Another striking feature of the
French roads is the great care OBJ
served in promptly removing all sur
ACE water. On each side of the road
At intervals of about fifty feet little
waterways are kept clear leading into
'rass linde side bitches outside OF the
tree line"

Urging preparation for completion
of the system of locks and dams upon
the upper Ohio, Chairman John H..
Small, of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee of the National House of
Representatives, says:
Within approximately three years
old locks and dams between Pittsburg
and Cincinnati should be completed,
and even upon this section of the riv-
err the opportunity for large COM
merce upon the river will be at hand,
provided only when there are well or
ganized boat lines and adequate water
terminals.
The mind of the average man of in
dustry and commerce has so long
been content to rely on the railroads
exclusively, and these men have had
so little faith in the practicability of
using the waterways. They have had
so slight a conception of, and so lit
tie disposition to do, the things ne
cessary for the use of the waterways
that it is a difficult task to direct
them away from their accustomed
lines of thought, even in the face of
the present necessity of enlarging the
instrumentalities of transportation.

8. To behold here and there about
the city the flag of the country hor-
ribly weather-worn, dirty and perhaps
ragged, Better keep it bright for
special occasions, but, as to those now
in dishonor.
Tear the tattered ensign down,
Long has it waved on high.
4. To see used-up cigarette boxes
scattered over the streets. | am not
Mohammedan and don't care to be
reminded of Mecca" every time | go
out. If man insists on smoking in
the streets, which is the same as if
he should suck a stick of candy or
eat a bag of peanuts on the highway,
let HON refrain from leaving the re-
mains for others to see or pick up.

Deaths from kidney disease have in

carefully, take things easy and avoid
heavy eating Doan's Kidney Pills
command confidence, for no other kid
ney remedy is so widely used or so
generally successful. Home endorse
ment is the best proof of merit. Read
this Maysville residents story:
Miss Dora Edgington, Wood St.,
says: 81 have used Doans Kidney
Pills and from the results received,
have every reason to recommend
them. At times my kidneys have be-
come weak and have been irregular in
action. My back has ached, too, and
has been very weak and lame across
my kidneys. When / have used Doan q
Kidney Pills for this trouble, they
have never failed to relieve the COM
plant in a short time. l gladly ad-
wise anyone to get box of Doan's

That the Ohio River may yet see

fourth of the time and at one-half of
the cost of steel barges, while con-

was an instant and spontaneous rise
in the morale of the French. hut an
equally instant and spontaneous in
sistence that these soldiers who came
from America should continue to come
in an unbroken stream.
And so we made the election, In
France there is a fighting army, an
army trained in the essentials and in
the beginnings of military discipline
and practice, and trained, seasoned
fighters in this kind of a war on the
actual battlefelds where it is taking
place.
Very early in this war Great Brit.

war American units organized IN ad
vance and anticipation by the Red
Cross were on the battlefield, and there
are tens of thousands of men in Eng
land and in France who now bless the
mission of mercy upon which the first
Americans appeared in France. But
that was not enough. 1t was suggested
that further groups of mechanics might
be needed. Nay, we began to see that
we were going to be over there in
large force, and the question that then
had to be answered was: How will we
maintain an army in France? Special
studies had to be made of that prob
lem, and this is what they showed:
The railroads and the facilities OF
France were used to the maximum to
take care of the needs OF the French
and the British themselves, and that
1t would be necessary for us to build
back of our own line an independent
line of communication"
Mr.. Baker told how the railroads and
docks of France were used to their ut
most capacity by the French them
selves, and it became necessary as a
consequence to construct facilities for
handling and caring for supplies for
the American forces. This necessi-
tated taking over and rebuilding and
simplifying railroad 900 miles long
