COUNTY OFFICIALS View
CONCRETEROADS At NEWPORT
County Judge and County COmmls.
sioners Spend Day at Newport
Looking Over New and Used
Concrete Roads In That
Section.

County Judge Purnell, who has been
in Cincinnati on business for the past
two days, was Joined at Newport this
morning by the Mason County Com
missioners and they will spend the
day In viewing and examining the var
ious concrete roads in that section.
For some time the Mason County Fis-
cal Court has been considering con-
crete roads and they have been urged
by state officials and contractors to
investigate the concrete road very
carefully.
1t is the purpose fthe members Of
the Fiscal Court to look at concrete
roads which have been built in that
section of the state for several years
and then they will view some new
roads that have Just been built and
that are in the course Of construction.
Should there be an election in Ma
son county for special road tax and
should the taxpayers of the county
elect to pay an extra 20 cent road tax
the commissioners would have to con-
slider the building of some sort of
permanent road and concrete would
be seriously considered it is learned.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
SOLDIERS MEETS SATURDAY
First Meeting Of Soldiers to Plan FOr
Great Home Coming Celebration
VIII Be Held on Saturday
Afternoon.

Chairman Calvert Early, who is in
charge of the Mason county returned
soldiers in laying plans for a great
home coming celebration during the
Victory Loan campaign, has issued a
call for his executive committee, only
recently named, to meet with him at
the Chamber of Commerce on next
Saturday afternoon for the purpose
of laying fans.
Probably the most important matter
to come before the executive commit
tee will be the selecting Of one re-
turned soldier in each voting precinct
in the entire county who will be asked
to see that all of the returned SOL
diers in his precinct is advised of the
big celebration and is on hand to TAXI
part in the great parade which prom
ises to be one of the biggest and most
impressive things held in Mason coun-
ty recently.
Hon. J. N. Kehoe, who is chairman
of the Victory Loan managing commit
tee, is attending meeting of county
chairmen at Lexington and upon his
arrival in Maysville it is more than
likely that the exact date of the big
celebration will be made known.

ONE TO Be PROUD Of
|NGREAT WORLD WAR
Mason County Has Played Her Part In
the War and Helped Bring Glory
to Old Kentucky-Lets Get
Credit for What We Did.

A great task as we'll as a great op-
portunity will confront the future his
torian Of this state when he comes to
yell the full story of Kentucky's par
ticipation in the World War; how she
played her part among the free peo-
pie Of the world in the fight for world
freedom; how she furnished thous-
ands Of her sons to the fighting forces
of the nation, and how these men con-
Quoted themselves and what they ex-
perienced in camp, at sea, and on the
field of battle; how she stood for 10y
atty at home and suppressed the Hun
within her gates; how she readjusted
her whole course of life, giving abun-
dainty Of her means, her substance,
her thought, her time, her strength,
her prayers, sacrificing luxuries, and
making spare use of the necessities of
life, and forgetting all petty rivalries,
united in effort put forth for the win
ming of the war, for the welfare of
the fighters, and for the relief of war
stricken peoples; and how in other
and less obvious ways the war altered
the direction and character of her nor
NAL interests and pursuits. n
Such a story will constitute a
unique and important chapter in the
history of our State. 1t will be of in
terest not only to coming generations
of Kentuckians; but also to us who
have lived and worked in these stir
ring times, conscious that we were
helping in the accomplishment Of
great things; but to intent upon the
performance Of our own special ant
more or less limited tasks to take Q
comprehensive view of the course o.
events in our State and perhaps ever
in our localities.
Kentucky is proud of her war rec
ord. She has sent approximately 100,
900 men into the service. More thar
$500 of these have given their live.
for the cause of liberty. 1t remains
now to make a lasting record of thu
men who sacrificed so much for thu
great cause, and to make record o
the activities of the great army o
civilians who stood solidly behind tn,
fighting forces and devoted them
selves so consistently to the winning
of the war.
Mason county has done her full
share toward bringing the glory to ou
state and certainly we want to Civ,
our loyal sons full credit for wha
they have accomplished. Those whit
know the facts about the war work o
Mason county men owe it to thos,
men, themselves, the county and stat
that this information should be givel
to the County Historian at the Cham
ber of Commerce.

.RAILROADERS GET ANOTHER
Big INCREASE IN WAGES
Director General Hines Announces
New Wage Schedule Adjusting
Inequalities.

Washington, April II - Train and
enginemen on National Railways were
granted another increase in wages by
Walker d. Hines, director general, to-
day. The order affects more than 400,-
90 men, and is retroactive to Jan
uary /. Claims of employees for time
and a half for overtime in road SER
vice we're left to bipartisan board for
decision.
Practically completing the war cir
Gle" of wage advances, Hines gave the
four brotherhoods increases ranging
from SIS to $3.50 for men paid by
the month and from $1.31 to $1.53 for
men paid on day basis.
The advances are designed to re-
adjust "obvious injustices" wrought
by the general advance granted rail
workers, trainmen, firemen and
conductors, trainmen, firemen and en-
gineers have been pending since De-
cember.
Only an approximate estimate of the
added burden of expense as result oi
the increase was obtainable by rail
road officials. They estimated If in
creases sought by train and engine
men, dining and sleeping car EN-
ployes and railroad police had beer
in effect under years conditions, ad
vances on these accounts would tota
$67,500,0O0 annually.
Increases over 1917 wages ar
shown below:
Passenger conductors, from $13
and $165 to $3.50 month; passenge
baggagemen, from s71.5O and s1O5 t
S124.S0 month; passenger brake
man from S6S.75 and 500 to $120
month; pas 0nger engineers, fror
s4.47 to s5.7o a day; passenger fire
men, from 50 oS to s4.31 day; freigh
conductors, f~"m s409 to s5.4O a day
freight brake On, from $2.73 to $40

ORGANIZATION OF
POULTRY BOOSTERS
ON A new BASIS
At Important Meeting Of Mason Coun.
ty Poultry Association Thursday
Night New System Was Adopt
ed-Plans for Fairs
Made.

The Mason County Poultry Associa-
tion held its regular monthly meeting
Thursday night, and transacted very
important business. The need of a
firm financial basis for future opera
tions made 1t imperative that some ar
rangements be made whereby the GUS
tomary contributions" from a few of
the members be made unnecessary
hereafter, and the plan adopted VIII
enable the Association to put on bet
ter shows, offer better premiums, and
meet all Of the incidental obligations
promptly. The plan will equalize the
heavy expenditures made in purchas-
ing coops, record books, and other
supplies, and make away with the in
dividual assessments" which have
been the bugbear in the past.
All members Of the association who
were not present at the meeting
! should see one Of the officers at once
in regard to this matter. A pleasant
surprise awaits the faithful.
Requests from the Germantown and
Ewing Fairs that the Association take
charge - their poultry shows this
year were discussed, and Oasrs ur
handling poultry shows for other or
ganizations was decided upon, and
Secretary George Kirk was authorized
to act for the Association. This Of
fers a distinct advantage to the Fair
Associations, since they can then put
on an American Poultry Association
Show, Otherwise impossible, unless
they joir that organization, and also
gives tn n the opportunity to use the
best typ of show COOP in existence.
The N son County Poultry Associa-
tion has rdered additional supplies Of
all kind. and will have complete and
absolute up-to-date equipment large
enough for a show of from 300 to 400
birds, and are to be congratulated on
their progressive spirit, which will go
far toward putting Mason county in
the front rank in this phase Of pro-
gressive agriculture.
