FUND NOW DUE
RIVER ASSOCIATION
WILL Be RAISED
Special Committee Named 10 Collect
Funds Now Due Ohio Improve.
ment Association From City
Of Maysville.

For the last few years there has
been a tendency on the part of the
citizens of Maysville to take a disin-
terested stand with regard to finan-
cially supporting the Ohio Valley Inn
provement Association. This associa-
ton has done much good work for all
Ohio river cities since its organization
in presenting any legislation that
would prove a. benefit and preventing
any legislation that would prove a
detrlment to the welfare of the Ohio
river cities.
For many years Captain c. M. Phis-
ter has visited the citizens and OBJ
tanned subscriptions for membership
but three years ago committee ap-
pointed by the local organization has
pledged $500 toward carrying on the
work of the organization but only $50
has been paid leaving a balance due
the association of $3.50. Mr. II. c.
Curran was kind enough to take the
subscription amounting to $50 last
year which was forwarded to the
convention at Evansville.
We have from time to time APP
proved the good work done by the
Ohio Valley Improvement association
and have lent them plenty of moral
h,,f uya houn foilaI IN In
full duty in lending them our financial
support.
On the goth and oath of this month
the association will hold their an
nual convention at Louisville. Mayor
Russell has received a request to ap-
point a delegation to represent Mays
vile but has withheld action pending
an arrangement to straighten out this
financial difficulty so as not to cause
the organization any embarrassment.
The mayors sentiments were express
ed to the Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce at their meeting yesterday
and they expressed the belief that
steps should be taken to relieve the
financial situation. A committee con-
sisting of Messrs. j. n. Kehoe, ]. B.
Russell and r. A. Cochran was ap-
pointed to solicit to make up this de-
ficiency and when this sum is raised
the Mayor will appoint a committee
of delegates to attend the Louisville
convention.

VEGETABLES MUST
Be KEPT inside
City Board of Health Refuses to Re-
seind Order Requiring Food Deal
ers TO Keep Stock Screened.

Sometime ago the City Board of
Health passed an order that all fruits
and vegetables must be kept on the
inside of the store and not displayed
Oh the sidewalks.
Several of the merchants complain
ed of the order and asked the board
to rescind their action. A meeting
of the Board was held last night and
the following order was made:
After full consideration and after
hearing statements from the small
number of grocers who objected to
withdrawing their fruits and vege-
tables from the sidewalks; we the
Board of Health of the city of Mays
vile, knowing that it is our duty to
the people of the city, to protect their
1th in evorv possible way and af-
ter having requested all grocers to
keep their fruits and vegetables and
all other food products off the side
walks where the same is subjected to
the dust flies, and other filth of the
streets, and thereby becoming. con-
taminated and rendering the same I'M
safe and, possibly, unfit for human
consumption do now order that all
food products be kept off the side
walks and inside the stores that the
same may not be subjected to any more
contamination than is possible. We
know that in doing this, we are not
pretending, but protecting the public
health and we hope that the people of
Maysville will fully appreciate the po-
sition of the Board and also its ac-
ton.
All who fail to comply with this or
der will subject themselves to the
penalties of the law.

TROPHY TRAIN WILL
ARRIVE EARLY THIS
EVENING over |. IN.
Many People Already In the City to
View the Great Trophy Train
Which VIII BE Here ut $3.50
This Evening Great
Crowd Is Expected
Tonight.

Shortly after noon people began to
arrive in the city from all parts of
this and adjoining counties to see the
great War Trophy Train which will
be in over the L. & N. this evening at
$3.50 o'clock. Late trains on the G. &
o. brought people from nearby towns
and adjoining counties and automo-
biles coming in from the inland towns
in this section late this afternoon are
expected to bring a large number of
people to view the wonderful load the
train is carrying and to hear the in
teresting talks of those prominent
speakers who are travelling with the
train.
Chief of Police Harry A. Ort has
figured out all questions of traffic and
will have traffic officers on the job
early to take care of the immense
crowd of people. Everyone who de-
sires to see the train will have to
follow closely the instructions of the
members of the police department
who will handle the line of
inspection so that everyone can
get to see and hear everything
that is going on but it is absolutely
necessary that all form in line and
move in the direction they are in
structed to by the police so that there
will be no hitch to mar the occasion.
Persons going to view the train will
approach it from Bridge street and
move east along the north side of the
train turning at the trains end and
moving back on the south side of the
train and out Third street.
The talks to be made by the French
soldier and the other members of the
party accompanying the train will be
made so that the entire crowd can
hear what they have to say.
The Liberty Bond workers will be
in the crowd and a special drive for
subscriptions will be made while the
train is lying here. At most every
place in the state where the train has
stopped large subscriptions for bonds
have been taken and the local COM
mittee is expecting to secure as many
subscriptions at this train tonight as
they would have done in an entire
days work throughout their pre-
cincts. Close to 100000 in bonds
should be sold tonight and after all
have seen the terrible Hun munitions
of war with which our men on the
Western front are now contendine
they will be much more willing to
give their dollars to help back our
men.
Everyone is invited and expected tc
visit the train tonight. There is abb
solutely no expense attached to view
ing this wonder exposition and those
who fail to visit the train will not
only be doing themselves an injustice
but will ever regret this opportunity
thrown away.
They will be there-thousands OF
them, but, remember - don't crowd
and do what the officers say.

At the Palace TOnipht

William Farnum, in all the manly
bravery of the parts the public love
so we'll, will be seen again tonight
at the Palace theatre. In 'The heart
of a Lion" the stalwart William Fox
star makes his temperance, bring
lng with him story of absorbing
interest and excitement. The story
OF this magnificent picture revolves
about two brothers, Barney Kemper
(Mr. Farnum) and Dick William
Courtleigh, Jr.) Dick is a worth
less sort of youth who does not awak-
en- to a realization of his own shift
lessness until Barney catches him
making love to the woman engaged to
marry himself. Then Dick reforms,
studies for the ministry, is ordained
and sent to a lumber camp. Barney,
who has withdrawn completely from
civilization after the loss of his faith
in Dick, has become physician in this
same camp. When the rough back
woodsmen of the community attack
Dick and wound him, Barney reveals
his identity and does his hest to
nurse his brother back to health and
life. Two women play important roles
in this production, Mary Martin and
Wanda Petit. 1t is easy to see how
MIR. Farnum could love them both.

New York, May 9.-Warning thai
the RussoGerman peace treaty nego.
tiated at Brest-Litovsk will cause
permanent antagonism between Ger
many and Russia and that it will be-
come the germ of fierce wars in
the future" was given by DR.. Lud-
wig Haas karlsruhe, a member of
the Reichstag, in letter to the Ber-
lin Tageblatt, recently.
1t would be better for Germany if
the Russian border states were not
Segregated" he asserted. Owing to
the uncertainty of the future of Rus
sia, he declared, Germany should not
be now committed to fixed policy.
For that reason, he pointed out, it
would be "more than dangerous for
the German emperor to become Duke
of Courland or of any Baltic coun-
try, since "once the emperor was
connected with the Baltic future, there
would be no turning back.
"The new border states (of Russia)
should remain free and we desire to
remain Free" he concluded.

At The Theatre
At the Topic.

When Ann Murdock went to
boarding school in Philadelphia they
used to call her "Madcap Ann," be-
cause she was the instigator of
more nocturnal adventures by upper
form girls than had ever before been
perpetrated in the institution. One
night Miss Murdock, who is starerd
in a new Mutual-Empire production,
"Please Help Emily" held a party
in the dormitory after the floor
monitors had made their rounds. The
basis of the affair was a box of
goodies sent Ann from home. To the
delight of the girls that box contained
bottle Of elderberry wine and the
paJama maids ate cake and drank
elderberry wine until after the moon
set. Miss Murdock insisted that it
was too early to go to bed and so
sixteen intrepid ingenues followed her
down the fire escape to the college
green, where they paraded in silken
trousies until one pretty maid, hero
ically inspired by the elderberry
yanked the rope of the fire bell and
precipitated a riot of half-clad, be.
spectacled teachers and pupils. Miss
Murdock stood pat for her class anC
got away with a story that they all
climbed down the fire escape when
the bell rang, but the truth leaked
i out later when somebody snitched
aud Ann came near being expelled.

start TO BUILD
HIGHWAY IN FALL

C. F. Stern and Henry J. Widen
mann of the State Highway Commits
sion arrived in Riverside last night
from Ell Centre, having driven over
the Brawley-M Mecca road. They left
early this morning for trip of in
spection over the Crest road to Bear
valley, which hase been taken over
by the state, says the Riverside Press.
Mr.. Stern was seen by represen-
tative of the Press and talked free
ly and hopefully regarding the pros
poets for the completion of the high
way to the Imperial Valley in which
Riverside county is so deeply inter-
ested. He stated that the commits
sion has pending with the capital is
suese committee an application to
sell 52,500,O0G worth of highway
bonds and that while objection has
been made by the Federal Department
of Roads to some of the projects in
cluded in the plan submitted with this
application, final action has not been
taken. In addition to this request,
the commission has just worked out
arrangements with the Board of Con-
troll to take up $3,0O0,00O of bonds
from state funds. This action is not
subject to review by the capital is
sues committee an application to
amount is an unapportioend sum that
will be available for the Brawley-
Mecca road in case the application to
the federal authorities is finally dis
approved. f lk'l"
The present plan of the commits
sion is to advertise very soon for the
contract. in this highway with the
expectation of getting them closed up
so that work will be begun at the
end of summer and rushed to early
completion.
Mr.. Stern reports that the portion
of the road in Imperial county is at
present in much better shape than
the Riverside section.
Messrs. Stern and Widenmann are
on a general tour of inspection and
drove from San Diego to the Imperial
Valley over the mountains and also
went by the Sand Dune road to Yu-
ma. They returned from Yuma by
the northern route, ending at INLAND.
and are considering the possibility of
a road over that line to Yuma rather
than through the sandhills east of
Holtville. This route was favored by
Assemblyman VA. Alvey.
