TO THE FLAG

The Hun said,' They never can do IL
They are weaklings, they can not
come thru"
But they did it, some grimly. some
madly
For you old Glory, for you.
The boys said, They doubt our cour-
age,
Say we dream things that can not
come true.
But We'll fight till we've beaten
them badly.
For you, Old Glory, for you.
When at last twas made clear to the
nation
That our own boys were needed too.
We sent proudly, tho sadly,
For you, Old Glory, for you.
AS We learn of the ones who have
persisted
defending the red, white and blue.
We will bear it patiently, gladly
For mankind, I'D Glory, and you.

The Internal Improvement Commit
mittee, which has the matter of the
building of railroad switch into the
Parker building in Front street in
hand and Mayor Thomas M. Russell
have been presented with protests
from property owners living along
Front street urging that the city re-
fuse the railroad company permis-
sion to build a switch into the Parker
building.
Those who favor the proposition
say that it should be done to give to
Maysville a bigger industry and tc
help the city grow while those who
oppose it say they are opposing it be-
cause it will injure their property and
reduce its value.
Property owners living in that vic.
unity say that they will enjoin the
company from building the switch
and the whole thing looks like a pret.
ty good scrap has developed.

CITY IS GIVEN BROKEN TIES

Mayor Russell Accepts Nearly 400
Damaged Railroad Ties and viii

Nearly four hundred railroad ties
were so badly damaged by the near

nesday afternoon as to make them
useless to the railroad company. They
were thrown out and replaced by new
ones.
Yesterday afternoon Superintendent
w. S. Taylor, of this division of the
C. & o. offered the ties to Mayor Rus
sell for the city and the Mayor
promptly accepted them.
They will be moved to the city lot
in Second street and piled so that in
bad weather city prisoners can saw
them up and split them into stove
wood and this winter the wood may
come in quite handy to the citys poor
for fuel
Besides the loss of all of these ties
the railroad company also suffered
heavy loss in replacing bolts, fish
plates" etc, damaged or ruined by
the derailed truck.

LOCAL GUOCERS
JOIN NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION
Interesting Meeting Of Retail Grocers
Held Last Night and Many AfIil-
late Themselves With Nation-
nj and State Association.

One of the most interesting meet
ings yet held of the Maysville Retail
Grocers' Association was that held at
the Chamber of Commerce last night
when Mr.. A. Bogue, organizer of the
National Grocers' Association and the
Kentucky State Grocers' Association,
addressed them.
Mr.. Bogues address was unusually
interesting and he gave the retailers
some very valuable information in re-
gard to the condition of things gen.
orally in their trade. He explained
the inroads large mail order houses
were making on the business belong
ing to the local dealers and said there
was but one way to combat them and
that was through national organiza-
ton. Other great advantages of ma
tional and state organization was ex-
planned to those who were present
Besides representing these two or
ganizations, Mr.. Bogue is assisting
the Food Administration in his travels
over the state of Kentucky. He urged
hearty cooperation between the groc-
ers and the Food Administration and
explained how the Food Administra-
tion was endeavoring to help the re-
tailers as much as possible in every
way.
Mr., Bogue gave it as his opinion
that ii would not be long before all
food stores would be opened at eight
O'Clock in the morning, closed at four
O'Clock in the afternoon and kept
closed all day on Sunday by order Of
the Food Administration.
Being asked by the War Industries
chairman for this state to urge coop
erative delivery upon the grocers of
he state Mr.. Bogue explained to the
grocers the workings of this sort of
delivery plan. He said that in many
tiles in the state of Indiana this plan
vas now being very successfully wok-
ed and that grocers and customers
alike were pleased with its success.
The plan is to cut down the number
Of men used now in delivery and to
reduce the deliveries TO one day in
the same part of the city. He ex-
planned that the adoption of this plan
would relieve hundreds of men for
other occupations.
AT the close of the his address Mr.
Bogue asked all those who were in
terested in becoming members of the
Kentucky State Grocers' Association
and the National Grocers Association
to stand and every retailer present
stood and later signed a pledge be-
coming members

MAN FAILING TO
REPORT CLASSED
AS A DESERTER
Local Exemption Board Issues Order
For Arrest Of Ernest Crawford
FOrman As Deserter When
He Fails TO Report
For Duty.

One man failed to report to- the
headquarters of the Mason County
Exemption Board yesterday in re-
sponse to orders from that board
mailed him>a week prior to the en-
trainment date. The man so failing
to obey the orders of the board was
Ernest Crawford Forman, of the
Shannon neighborhood
Instead of reporting Forman, who
is about 2S years of age, sent tele-
phone message to the board that he
was i'll and could not report, The
board asked for an affidavit from his
physician to this effect but the afii-
davit was not produced and after the
train carrying the selects had left
Maysville yesterday afternoon the
Board members classed Forman as a
deserter and instructed Sheriff Gal
braith of their action ordering the
young man Immediately arrested un-
der their order and brought before
them.
Although Forman claims that he
was i'll and unable to report for en-
trainment yesterday, 1t is reported
that he had been in Maysville every
day this week except yesterday and
that the Board has reason to believe
that his claim of being i'll is untrue,
however, they will investigate the
case today when the young man is
brought before them.
This is the first time the Mason
County Board has been required to
class a man as deserter for failing to
appear at headquarters when order
ed in for the purpose of entraining
for camp.
Sheriff Galbraith has the Boards
orders in his possession and left this
morning for the young mans home to
execute them and deliver him to the
board headquarters here. 1t is ex-
pected that the young man will be
given hearing before the board this
afternoon and if he cannot establish
the fact that he is too i'll to go to
camp he will be Immediately inducted
into service and sent on under the
deserter classification

REPAIRING DAMAGE is BIG JOB

The workmen on the G.. & o. rail-
road found that repairing the damage
done by derailed coal car Wednes-
day afternoon was much bigger job
than it looked. Many ties had to be
removed and replaced by new ones
and much iron was necessary to re-
pair the damage done by the dragging
trucks of the car. The near-wreck
was very expensive to the railroad
company.

Editor Keowee Courier: Please s,.
low me space in your paper to make
few comments and suggestions on
the war situation. 1t is not my pur-
pose to talk about how we got in to
this struggle all know that) -
but how we can best and quickest get
out victoriously.
First. every man, old and young,
must line up. The older men, who
have for the last several years laid
aside the burden Of life and have
been leaning heavily on the strong
shoulders of their young sons, must
now take new lease on life, and go
forward again to do, not their "bit," "
but eight times that-their best.
Then the men in mid-life, whom
the government has not called upon
to take an, active part, must do their
best--not to make money for self,
but to help the families of those that
have gone.
AS the draft laws have been so
Shah5Su aS, " great extent, Str1D
our local board Of any discretion in
the selection and every man can
classify himself, there will be- q lot
of men who will feel the burden
heavy on themselves. Those we must
help in every way possible, and If
there are any that have built q false
house Of refuge Eve believe there are
some), we would admonish them to
come out and fiji up the vacant place
beside their former comrades. They
will need you.
Now, as always, | take off my hat
to the ladies. Who ever saw such an
| organization! All at work-sewing,
knitting, baking corn bread, and saw
ing sugar. No slackers, no long list
of fourth classers. If the male pop
ulation were to put up such solid
front the battle would soon be won
and the victory ours.
We are making history now; some
will be written and some will not.
The unwritten will be the longest re-
membered. The roll will be called
after while, and | pity the home that
could have, and has not, star in its
service flag. j. j. Ballenger.

Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly ali cotton, buy

It's q time above ell others to play
