EIGHT CENTS FOR PINTO BEANS

Administration as per terms of con-

SEED CORN

Several inquiries have been made of
the County Agent this week in re-
gard to securing seed corn for this
year This is of vital Importance to
our county, as very small per cent
of the corn produced last year shows
termination power enough to warrant
its planting.
The County Agent has at hand sew
eral places where seed corn may be
secured at reasonable prices, and it
would be a good plan if the farmers
wanting seed for this spring could get
together and order this corn in large
quantities, thus cutting down the ex-
pcnse of securing the seed

MENT IS MAKING
AGRICULTURAL. SURVEY

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture is making a survey of all the agr-
cultural territory in the country in or
der that the high-pressure food pro-
ductinn demanded by the war may he
intelligently carried on. Every farm
in the whole country will be included
the purpose being not only to ascer-
tain production contemplated this year
but to protect the farmers from over
production of given commodity, and
to furnish information which will be
useful in stabilizing market conditions
The survey will also enable the gov
crnment and state authorities to more
intelligently assist the farmers in get
ting labor and seed.
Among other things, the survey will
ascertain from every farmer the
amount Of labor used last year, needs
for coming year, amount and kind of
seed on hand, amount for sale, the
amount needed; amount and kind of
livestock a year ago, amount at this
time, amount for sale, and amount
farmer desires to buy; acreage of each
crop grown last year, and acreage
Of each crop planned for the coming
year.

LIBRARIES TO SOLDIERS
Secretary Of the State Library Com.
mission Says That In Some Cities
Persons Give Their Entire
Libraries For Use Of
Soldiers.

Miss Mary Richeson, Mason County
Librarian, reports that while quite a
number of people have donated books
to the soldiers library the most of
the people only give one or two books
and 1t takes quite a while for any
sized shipment to be collected.
Miss Richeson said that in the last
campaign the people of Maysville and
Mason county gave more than two
thousand books but up to the present
time there has been less than a thous-
and donated in the present campaign.
The Secretary of the State Library
Commission, of Frankfort, who was in
Maysville a short time ago said that
in some cities in the state the people
were glad to sacrifice even their en-
tire libraries that the boys lover
there" and in American environments
might have the right sort of reading
matter.
Miss Richeson urges upon all of the
people of Maysville and Mason county
who have any books they desire to go
to the soldiers that they deliver them
within the next few days to the Ii
brary for the first shipment will be
made in a very few days to Norfolk,

FOOD FIT FOR HUMAN CON.
SUMPTION MUST Be eaten
Food Administration Rules on the Use
Of Substitutes Purchased With
Flour For Other Than
Human Use.

The office of the Mason County
Food Administrator had occasion
only a few days ago to rule on the
use of flour substitutes for other than
human consumption.
1t developed that painters and pa
per hangers had been purchasing
flour for food and taking as substi-
tutes other food stuffs which they
used for making paste for their paper
hanging.
When application was made a few
days ago the dealer referred the pur-
chaser to the Food Administrators
office and that office refused to permit
the sale announcing that it was strict
ly against the rules of the Food Ad-
ministration to use any material fit
for human consumption for other
than food.
The dealers have been advised of
this ruling and in the future will
carefully guard against the use of
-four substitutes for anything else
than for food.

NEWSPAPER WORK NOT
LISTED AS NON ESSENTIAL
Washington Is Surprised at the Ac-
ton of Iowa Board Ordering Re-
pOrters to Seek New Jobs.

Washington - Newspaper work
never has been included among the
nonessential occupations outlined in
the "work-or-fight" order, nor has it
been the intention of the Provost Mar
shall Generals department that men
legitimately employed in publishing
newspapers should be required to
seek other occupations.
Officers connected with the admins
tration of the draft law regulations
expressed surprise at the ruling of
the board at Waterloo, Iowa, that en-
ployees of paper there should seek
more productive employment or be
called into the military service. They
said the action of the local board pro-
badly would be oVerruled by the dis
trict board to which it will be appeal
ed.
Because the Waterloo ruling APP
parently is so opposed to regulations
governing the "Work-or-fight" order
some doubt was expressed as to
whether it had been interpreted cor
rectly. 1t was suggested that the or
der might have been issued to certain
individuals in the search of deferred
classifications for men for active SER
vice.

FARMERS MUST NOT
OVEUFEED POULTRY
When Marketing Birds Should Not
Have Over On Ounce 20 Two
Pounds OF Fowl.

The Food Administration at Wash
ington has recently sent out the fol-
lowing ruling regarding overlooking
of poultry:
TO LICENSEES:
The overlooking of poultry immed-
lately preceding the sale thereof by
producers is not only a waste of food,
but is the cause of great number of
birds dying from the effects of it.
1t is the desire of the U. s. Food
Administration that licensees when
buying live poultry from producers
limit the amount of feed to one ounce
to each two pounds of poultry.
BY complying with this request it
will result in saving a great many
birds that perish from overlooking,
and 1t will also save a great deal of
food.
The patriotic cooperation of all Ii
censees is desired.

Men Left Yesterday Afternoon For
Camp - Large Crowd Bids
Them Good Bye at
Station.

There were thirty men in the squad

The men met at the headquarters of
the Mason County Exemption Board
at the Government building yesterday
morning and after the roll was called
and the alternates we're separated, the
men went to hotel to await the ar
rival of their train yesterday after
noon.
Most of the men leaving in this
squad we're from the county and there
was a large crowd of country people
in the city to bid their relatives,
friends and neighbors good bye.
When the roll was called in front of
the Whitehall Hotel yesterday after
noon the sidewalk was blocked and
many people in the stores came to
the sidewalk as the boys passed by
on their way to the station.
At the station, as is always the case
a large crowd of relatives and friends
gathered and many people from the
city anxious to see our men off were
on hand. All of the men wvfe in good
spirits and left as one said ITO get the

1t is not expected these men will
be in Fort Thomas long but they will
be scattered out to other environments
as soon as they are given the final

REGISTRATION FOR
NURSES RESERVE
HAS NOW begun
Only One Young Woman Enlisted to
Enter the Reserve Yesterday But
Many Are Thinking Seriously
OF Acting Soon.

There is not the interest in the Stu
dent Nurses Reserve In Mason county
that there should be. This was evil
denced by the fact that only one
young lady offered herself and was
accepted at the registration which
was held yesterday at the Public Ii
brary.
Several young women seem to be
thinking seriously about taking this
action but they are slow to act. Two
young ladies will likely enroll to-
night at the Library according to the
statement made yesterday by the wo-
men of the Council of National De-
Tense committee who have the enroll
ment in charge.
These women of the committee also
report that there are about twelve
young ladies who have been talking
to them about the reserve and some
of these twelve will certainly enlist
before the registration campaign is
closed on September 18th.
Mason county's apportionment is
ten young ladies and certainly the
county will not fall below this small
number. When the young women re-
member that they are equipping
themselves for a profession which is
one of the most honorable in the
country at the expense of the govern
ment and when they think of the
great service they can be to their
country during the war period it is
thought they will answer the call
more quickly.
