 II any of you boys have neglect ca to pay your premiums. Let me urge you to send in your reinstatement applications at once.
 To. all of you, take advice and hold on to your insurance, and pay the premiums when due. No matter what sacrifice this may entail, there IS nothing which makes for self re- spect so much as consciousness that one is insured.
 There is no greater boon in Aour modern civilization than life insur- ance. The man who can't afford to die can't afford to live. Perhaps you do not understand that the gov ernment's plan of insurance of com pensation with it's provisions cover ing disability, was devised to take the place of pension system. There lore don't you, and don't let any pal of yours, with whom you may have any influence, drop his insur- ance, and make no move toward converting your insurance into any one Of the permanent forms of in- surance without having the fullest advice from the Home Service De- partment of your local Red Cross or from the Bureau of War Risk h. surance, and remember, you have i've years in which to come to decision in this matter, but remem- Der, you must pay your premiums every 30 days when due. So try to remember that. Also if you have let your insurance lapse, and have neglected to pay it for tw or three months, if you are sill in good health. Come in to see me and be relnstated. Without a medical ex- amination, and I want every re- turned soldieD in Lee county and their dependent to know that I am just as willing to serve you today as l was at the beginning. So when you are in trouble and have any business difficulties have arisen while you were away or sickness in your family. You have been willing to fight for high ideals on the battle fields, and we know that you can be depended upon to fight for equally high ideals in our own home town. In the army you have set an ex- ample to the county of courage and good citizenship, and the county will look to you to set the same example when you are back in civil life, and the Red Cross knows that you all want to continue to play te game and we want on our part to con- tinue to serve you and your family until you are once more settled in civil life with the same spirit in

BECKHAM LOOKING
OUT FOR THE OHIO

Some time ago the Maysvile Cham
Der of Commerce addressed a COM
munication to Senator Beckham, sug-
costing that any effort he would exer-
else in an endeavor to secure an
amendment to the River and Harbors
bill would be appreciated. In reply he
states:
Il have your letter of several days
ago, in regard to the provision in the
Rivers and Harbors bill for the work
on the Ohio River. and l feel sure that
we will be able to get through all that
may be needed for the present to con-
tinue the work.
Il am giving the matter my con-
slant and careful attention, and you
can rest assured that | am doing ev-
erything possible to secure favorable
action in it"
Major General w. NJ. Black, Chief of
Engineers was also written on the
same subject and his letter follows:
In reply to your letter of the 7th
instant, asking that the pending river
and harbor bill be amended to include
an item of $5,OO0,000 for lock and dam
construction on the Ohio river, | have
to advise you that the bill as reported
to the Senate on aJnuary 9th, 1919.
carries an appropriation of $4,000, 900
for the Ohio river locks and dams"

SUMMING UP THE EVIDENCE
Many Maysville People Have Been
Called As Witnesses.

Week after week has been publish
ed the testimony of Maysville people
kidney sufferers-backach victims
people who have endured many forms
of kidney, bladder or urinary disor-
ders. These witnesses have used
Deans Kidney Pills. All have given
their enthusiastic approval. It's the
same everywhere. $4,000 American
mel and women are publicly recon-
mending Doans-always in the home
papers. Isn't it a wonderful, convic-
ing mass of proof? If you are SUI
ferer your verdict must be TRY
Doan's first"
Here's one more Maysville case.
A Sorries, lock and gun-smith, w.
Second and Wall Sts., gave the fol-
lowing statement in January 1917:
THE action of my kidneys was ire
gular and the kidney secretions con-
tanned sediment. had backaches and
when stopped over, had trouble In

back and kidneys, too. Doan's Kid
ney Pills stopped the trouble and my
back and kidneys became as strong

A LASTING EFFECT

said: II am the same strong believer

KENTUCKY FALLS
BEHIND |NFUNDSFOR
EUROPEAN RELIEF
Large Sum For the Relief Of Armen-
ian and Syrians Yet TO Be Raised
In This State, Headquar-
tiers Reports.

The United States as whole is well
past the halfway mark in the drive
for $3O,OOO,OO0 for the relief of the
needy people in Armenia, Syria and
Asia Minor, but Kentucky is falling
far behind the average of the States
in the drive for her portion of 100000
towards the national figure. At the
tabulation made the latter part of last
week the report for the entire nation
showed $16,239,713.22. There is no ac-
curate statement possible from Ken
lucky, but in Louisville alone about
$4,000 has been raised toward the
State quota, and from time to time re-
ports are received of counties which
have reached their objective.
If Kentucky is to be successful in
the duty assigned her. it will be ne
3essary for every county in the State
to do its share. A single laggart
county may result in the States war
time charitable financing record being
marked against for the first time.
Quite a few speakers have toured
parts of Kentucky, and workers ev-
erywhere report that the people are
familiar with the appeal which is he
hind the campaign to secure relief
funds for the Near East. For this rea-
son it is felt by the State leaders that
success is certain, though it may be a
matter of some little time. and for that
reason it is proposed to extend the
campaign limits until every county
has actively participated in the move
ment
The campaign has the endorsement
of the President, the American Red
Cross, the Food Administrator Her.
bert Hoover, the National Council Of
Defense and all similar organizations.
Already much relief work is being
pushed, and the scope will be extend
ed in keeping with the extent to which
the American people heed the appeal
being made.

DO YOU VALUE VICTORY

Does it mean anything to you that

wiped out forever?
That humanity at home and abroad
is safe for all time from the oppres-
sion of the domineering Hun?
That there will never be German
army of occupation landed upon
American shores to collect forced
indemnity?
That your fortunes and your women
folks and your home has been made
absolutely safe from Hun intrusion
and depreciation?
That the principles for which your
forefathers bled and died have been
indicated before the world?
That autocracy in its worst form
the Hun kind-has been dealt death
blow and Republican ideas are domi-
mating the world?
That America came out of the war
with loss of only $4,000 men where
the other allies lost by the million?
That shortly all of our boys will
be back, safe and sound from the
Rhine, taking up the tasks of peace
once more?

ness to those who won it?

Disorder.

London. Feb. 28.AThe monnrchists
of Germany are contemplating an early
coup detat, in the opinion of the
Nails correspondent at Berlin. who
says the old officer class, with the gen.
eral staff, has been gradually getting
the whip hand there since January 13
and now holds the government in its
power.
"The threatened coup d'etat would
be carried out in Berlin alone" he
writes, "and would probably for a
time be successful, although it would
certainly result in ruthless civil war
and unscrupulous political murders.
A large number of officers are said
to be associated in the plot, which
aims at the overthrow of the present
government and restoration of the
old order"

Paris. March 3.-The work OF draft
Ing the preliminary terms Of peace
through the armistice conditions Is
making rapid progress. s..
When President Wilson returns he
will find the terms settled. Indeed, the
somewhat optimistic view was cx
pressed that the whole matter might
be put through within a fortnight.
There still are one or two points Of
importance to be settled even In the
military and naval terms, and 4 is
clear that the fixing of Germany's
eastern frontiers is a matter which
cannot easily be accomplished In the
absence OF any definite information
or any definite policy with regard to
Germany.
This point has become clear In the
discussions OF the future Of Poland and
in arranging for the dispatch of Cen
eral Haller's Polish divisions from
France to Poland.
The naval terms have been agreed
upon with one important exception.
The French ministry of marine re-
serves acceptance Of the principle that
war vessels are to be destroyed. The
French argue their feet has suffered
losses which, owing to the army re
qulrements Of France, her workshops
and yards have been unable to make
good.
