RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON
PAYING SCHOOL TUITION.
Mason County Board Of Education
Goes On Record In Regard to Pay
ing the Tuition Of Students in
Consolidated Districts to
Maysvllle High
School.

Last year the Mason County Board
of Educational paid something like
two thousand dollars in tuition for
students from various parts of the
county to attend the Maysville High
School and in some instances the stu
dents had a frst-class High School
in their immediate neghborhood
which they could have attended and
the county would not have had to
spend so much of this money.
The County Board of Education has
been considering this question for
some time and has now issued an Or
der that no tuition will be paid for
any student living in Consolidated
School districts to attend the Maysville
High School unless the work desired
by those students is not furnished by
the High School in their district In
this event they will pay the tuition to
the Maysville High School
County Superintendent Turnipseed
yesterday afternoon said that this or
der did not apply to students living
near Maysville or in districts where
there was no Consolidated High
School and those children would be
sent to the Maysville High School by
the Board of Educationa if they de-
sired High School education.

COUNCILMEN IN
CONFERENCE ON
wharf LICENSE
Captain Gordon c. Greene and City
Council WIN Reach an Agreement
Meeting TO Be Held on Mon
day AfternOOn-NO Action
at Yesterdays
Meeting.

A joint meeting of the License,
Wharves and Ferries and Laws and
Ordinance committees of the City
Council was held yesterday afternoon
at a o'clock at the Council Chamber.
The meeting was called that Attor-
ney James NJ. Collins, representing
the Greene Line of steamboats, might
formally present a request for license
to operate a wharfboat at the local
grade.
The matter was discussed at length
by the Councilmen and the represen-
tative of the Steamboat Company and
it seemed to be the general opinion
that there would be license granted
to the Greene line at next Mondays
meeting of the City Council If the
Greene line officials would agree to
certain requirements.
Mr.. Collins stated that the Greene
Line was willing to abide by all of the
city ordinances regulating wharfboats
and 1t was then suggested that the
present rate for wharfage as fixed by
ordinance was obsolete and should be
changed.
After a general discussion it was
finally decided to hold a meeting of
the councilmen with Captain Gordon
Greene, head of the steamboat COM
pany on next Monday afternoon and
at this meeting the Laws and Ord-
nance committee will draw up an or
dinance fixing tariff that is up-to
date and that will conform to the tar
IFS of the Federal Inter State Com
merce Commission. This ordinance
will be agreed upon and offered at
the meeting of Council Monday night
and at that time the License commit
tee and the Wharves and Ferries com
mittee will recommend to Council that
license be granted to the Greene
Line.
1t will be understood and provided
lOi III lllS oIuindhtt thdl an StSdii-
boats operating on the Ohio River will
have the privilege of landing and
loading and unloading from this
wharfboat and that freight will be
shipped out on the first boat and will
not be held aboard the wharfboat for
special boat of any certain COM
pany.
This meeting yesterday seems to
have solved the much discussed
wharfboat question and we may ex-
pect a new wharfboat for Maysville
some time during next week

ENEMY ALIEN WILL WORK
AT GOVERNMENT DAM
Man Arrested in the East End of the
City Several Days Ago Is Al
lowed His Freedom by Chief
Ort When He Promises
to Work at Govern
ment Works.

Paul Hegadust, native of Austria
Hungary, who was arrested several
days ago on complaint of persons liv-
ing in the East end of the city when
his actions became very suspicious,
was released by Chief of Police Har-
ry A. Ort yesterday afternoon upon
his promise to go to work at the gov
eminent dam at once.
Chief Ort's investigation of the
allen enemy showed that the young
man was not guilty of any wrong do
ing but that he was loafng about the
city with nothing to do When Ques-
toned about work the Austrian said
that he was willing to work if he had
it to do and at once Chief Ort secured
employment for him at the govern
ment dam just East of the city.
The foreigner was taken to the
dam yesterday and at once began
work. The police department will
keep in close touch with him as long
as he remains in this section.

CANDIDATES FOR
U. S. SENATOR
CHOSEN TODAY
State Primary Is on In Full Blast
With Little Interest Shown In
Either Party James Men
Trying TO Get Out Big
Vote For the Senator.

The Kentucky State primary cleo
ton is on in full blast today and al
though both parties-Republican and
Democrat-will select candidate for
one of the most important offices for
which the people cast the vote, there
is absolutely no interest taken ex-
cept among the Democrats who are
supporting Senator Ollie M. James
and who are anxious to get out good
vote for the Senator who is now i'll
in a Baltimore hospital
So far as is known none of the can
didates on either ticket has full or
ganization in the county and in many
of the county precincts it is doubtful
whether there will be enough votes
cast to make much of a change either
way
The Importance of the Office for
which the parties will select candi-
dates today should stir the voters to
action, however, and all those who
can possibly do so should get to the
polls early and cast their ballot for
their choice.
There was considerable stirring
about yesterday in getting the cleo
ton officers all lined up for there had
to be several changes made because
of illness and for various other rea-
sons but everything was already this
for the voting to begin but
there was very little interest shown
about the voting places and those who
were gathered there were talking war
instead of politics.

that the District Medical Board will

The Mason County Exemption
Board finished the biggest part Of
their examination of youths just be.
coming twenty-one years of age this
year yesterday afternoon when in O
little more than a half day they ex-
amined sixty-one men, flfty-five OF
whom were physically fit for army
service and who became subject to
immediate call by their classification
The seven men disqualified were
defective in various ways and in the
opinion of the examiners, who by now
have become experts, through the ex-
animation of several hundred men,
were not physically able to become
soldiers and fight for Democracy.
There are yet few of the men or
dered in by the Board who have not
put in their appearance for various
reasons and reasonable length of
time will be allowed them by the
Board before posting them for SER
vice without examination, as the rules
of the Provost Marshal Generals Of

READ THIS. WILHELM

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The wheat fields, oat fields and rya fields of the United States have heard with a liberality that guarantees an abundance of cereals for Americans and a surplus sufficient to succor our allies. Last weeks government report chron- lcles another triumph over the Hun.
 This has been a season of bumper ascribe to the wisdom of the party that happened at the time to be in power. The years wheat crop appears to be the second largest on record; the oats crop the third largest on record. Corn is be- low the average, but even corn Is weeks ago to expect.
 Present government estimates indicate a yield of 2,76s, 900 bushels of wheat. oats, rye and barley. an increase of 7s,- 900 900 bushels over September's outlook, an increase of PSI ,0OO,ooO bushels over last year but a falling off of so,oOo,oOo bushels from the record crop of three years ago. With corn included, the record IS stlll or a character to make the Kaiser yet moro anxious for peace.
 Kansas and Nebraska are responsible for the big loss in corn this year. while oklahoma has less than half crop. Happily, the shortage is compensated for in part by it's unusually high quality. Nowhere is there the slightest encour- agement for an enemy that may have hoped to starve democracy into com pliance.

WAR A GREAT LEvE1En

With the American Army in France. He was private and he looked the part But he hesitated when some war work CTS who wanted to establish a billet in some ruins offered him and his bunkie g apiece to help sweep out the place He wasn't busy just then
 Finally he followed the example of his bunkie and accepted the job.
 ''lf anybody'd offered me money to sweep out house over in the States I'd have turned ap-my nose," he told his friend. You see, I own couple of fac- tories over there and have pretty good fortune besides. But over here when you can't write a check and get it cashed you'll do most anything for a couple of dollars when it's near the end of the month and you haven't drawn your ssl per for two months. War surely makes a fellow democratic.''

PHIL MAY GET NIGHT OUT

 Bert Levy, in the Christian Science
 Monitor.
 On one occasion Alias, the famous London theatrical costume designer took Phil May to his home and per sltaded him to work on the illustra- tions for Children's Shakespeare Book. After few days he began to suspect the artists restlessness and lest he should go out and start on a "ram- page" Alias hid all Phirs clothes, ex- cepting the pajamas in which he left him working in the large studio where many theatrical costumes were hang ing. That night, at the Cavour, just before closing time, Alias was telling his friends how he kept Phil indoors when hanson drove up to the door and Phil Jumped out and entered the restaurant. He had on the top boots of a buccaneer, the knee brooches of Spanish grandee, the scarlet velvet cloak of Mephistopheles and the cap of Romeo. He was determined to be present and such thing as the loss of conventional garments could not de- priye him of It.

nIRMINGHAM,s RESPONSE

From the AnniSton Star.
 Birmingham women have become god mothers to the sick soldiers at Camp Me- Clellan base hospital. and in co-opera- ton with the local hospital relief com mittee are helping wonderfully to sup ply the demand for jellies, jams and fruits for the men who are suffering from influenza and other illness.
 In addition to robbing their own pan tries the Birmingham women have start cd fund to buy more Sweets and fruits for inmates of the base hospital. This fund is already rising rapidly. and no doubt will be sufficiently large to supply the demand
 The people of Birmingham have long
 looked upon Anniston and Camp Me- Clellan as a part of themselves. Mo- Clellan soldiers have been given roya welcome to the Magic City on every visit. The people have had them ir their homes, entertained and treated them with every kindness characteristic Of the big. busy city.
 They have not only waited to receive these men as guests in their own city and homes, but have come to Annistor and Camp Mcclellan furnishing their bes talent to entertain them. Birmingham tried hard to get an arm, camp, but having failed. it welcomed ths opportunity to, help Anniston with ans problem this city should be called upor to face in caring for the thousands o men who have been stationed at Caml Mcclellan.
