more reason why domestic should

there is why his elevator boy should

Many \ girl in the kitchen is better
bred, more intelligent and thousand
times better morally Than her en-
ployerS III the pdrlor. and there is no
reason why she should bemean her
self by dS,ocldting with them socially
Necessity may force Ms to take the job
we can get, but We have a right 10
pick out or company.
We are told that il hurts the pride
OF the servant glrl not to make one Of
the family group. She should have a
finer pride She should be too proud to
wish TO force herself upon those VINO
do not wish her, not because she
works for living hut because every
family has desire lor privacy in rs
own home, and each individual Of us
likes to pick ont our own friends who
are personally Cougenial TO u.
As a matter Of fact, the complaints
OF the servant girl are mostly gricy-
anceS that She manufactures out OF
whole cloth tertainv her wrongs are
never wrongs ,ha, she has to endure,
for il she doesn't Ike her room, nor
her food, nor the way the woman she
works for treats her She has only 10
90 forth and take her choice oi homes
and jobs that are aching to receive
her
Aor the cook supply never equals
the demand. The kitchen is one field
of labor that is never crowded.
And as for the persccutcd, puton
brow-beaten, hired girls-well--mis-
tresses have their faults and their
nerves, and their ,cmprgS. but human
nature is selfish and prone to look
out for itself. and there are not many
OF us who are rash enough to an,ag-
oni,e the one creature who holds our
physical comfort IN her hands. For
proof OF which YOU may observe that
no matter what husbands and wives
say to each other they invariably
mind their p's and as when they speak
TO the cook.
But anyway you look at il the pres
ent domestic problem is an interest
ing one. And it is well TO observe tr
hired girl attentivelv because IN the F.
next few years She is likely to be as
extinct as the dodo.

COMMON SCHOOL GRADUATES
MAY GRADUATE AT HOME
Instead OF Holding Graduation Exer-
cises For all Graduates In Mays.
vile Each County School
May Hold Their Own
Exercises.

The plan of graduating the students
of the various county cammon schools
may be somewhat changed this sea-
son from the plan followed out in past
years by Superintendent Turnipseed
and the County Board of Education.
Several of the schools have request
ed the County Superintendent that
they be permitted to hold their own
graduating exercises and they plan
very interesting programs. When the
programs are held at the schools from
which the graduates are leaving to
take up a high School course, 1t is
pointed out, that there is considerable
more interest shown, while when the
graduation is held in Maysville only 9
few people from the communities at
tend.
Action on this matter has not ye
been taken but 1t is more than likely
that the Board of Education will
change the plan to meet with thu
wishes of the patrons of the various
schools.

LOOKS BRIGHTER
FOR SOLUTION

The strike situation which Is caus-

Maysville and all other cities along
the main line of the c. & o. looks
more promising for immediate relief
this afternoon than at any time since
the first striking shopmen left the
yards at Silver Grove and the shops
in Covington.
Although Saturday afternoon no 10.
cal passenger trains and no freight
trains were in operation in this Sec
tion between Russell and Silver Grove

ity that the situation may be cleared
enough for resumption of regular
trains by Saturday night or Sunday

TRIP and MEDALS
FOR CLUB Boys Of
MASON COUNTY
County Agent Kirk Makes Interesting
Announcement For Boys and Girls
In Mason County Clubs.

The members of the Junior Agricul-
tural Club should get their record
books up to date at once, as the boy
who is to be awarded the trip to the
State Fair Encampment will be Sc
lected in the near future. The basis
for selection is different In the near
future. The basis for selection is DIFF
ferent from the method used In past
years, as the former system eliminated
every one not raising pig. The win
ner In the Pig Club at the Germantown
Fair will be given a trip to the State
Fair by the former association, but the
boy who shows the best average In
agricultural practice, interest shown,
work accomplished, and record book
will be given trip to the State Fair
Encampment by the College of Agri-
culture and the State Fair Board. This
means that every boy should get his
record book up to date, so that II he
| Is called on to show what he has done
he can do 1t accurately.
County Agent Kirk has ten very
handsome medals which will be
awarded to the club members who do
deserving work He intends to have
a general meeting Of the club mem
bers this fall, and to award the med
ais at that time.
Unfortunately there has been nc
provision made to care for girls at the
Encau lment. but they will be eligible
to com',cte for the medals, SO all Of the

CO. HOPES TO PUT
PLANT IN GOOD SHAPE
Mr.. Thomas Pearce, Of the Maysyiiie
Water Company, Here Making
Preparation For Putting Plant
In Good Working Condi-
ton Immediately.

Mr.. Thomas Pearce, member of the
Board of Directors of the Maysville
Water Company, who succeeded his
late father, Col. Chas. d. Pearce, on
that board came to Maysville from
his home in Louisville this week and
has been quite busy looking into the
water situation in Maysville for few
days
Mr.. Pearce today stated that the
Water Company was doing all within
their power to get everything at their
pumping station In first class working
condition just as soon as possible and
that now the worst situation seems
past as the company now has water In
the reservoir and the station Is pump
ing regularly.
The situation the plan was discov-
cred in last week is due no doubt, to
inefficient employees in the past, Mr.
Pearce said and that has now been
relieved in that the most efficient men
obtainable in the state Of Kentucky
are in charge of the plant. Mr.. Pearce
also left the impression that the Wat
er Company contemplated extensive
improvements at the plant and the
most expert men in the country vii
be employed to make the necessary
changes and improvements which viii
insure Maysville plenty of good watel
at all times.
The citizens of Maysville are more
than glad to hear this and will wal
eagerly for the contemplated improve
ments.
