Members Of the Mason County Draft
Board bid farewell to all of their

they have been working for the past
several months and by means of which
they drafted large army of young
men from Mason county, today when
they got everything in readiness for
shipment to Washington City tomor-

In this shipment everything used in
the draft will be returned to the capt.
tai to go into the records and vaults

The boards all over the country
were authorized to sell at the best
possible price the typewriters, which
were purchased and furnished them
by the government. The Mason Coun-
ty Board sold their typewriter to ]. c..
Everett & Co., local seedmen, at
$7O75. When the sale was reported
to Major Henry Rhodes, chief of the
Selective Service in Kentucky, the Ma
jor wrote the local board letter of
congratulation telling them that the
Mason county typewriter sold for
more money than any typewriter in
the state so far reported.

DELIGHTFUL MUSIC IN
new MUSICAL COMEDY
slave A Heart" to BE Shown at the
Washington Theater on April 9,
Promises TO Be Best Show
Of the Season.

There Is pleasant anticipation IN
the announcement that Have A
Heart, delightful musical Offering
by Henry W. Savage, whose successful
productions number half hundred,
will be seen at the Washington Thea
ter on April 2.
Have A Heart" was one OF the
tuneful hits Of last season when it
was pronounced "a three hour string
Of laughter and melody. Book and
lyrics are by Guy Bolton and p. G.
Wodehouse, the widely read magazine
provider of humorous fiction. The
music is by Jerome Kern, whose ting
ling fox-trots, one-steps, and ballads
of sentiment are so universally popu-
lar. The scenes are laid in the ling
erie section of big department store,
alive with fascinating shop girls and
fashion hunters, and at an ocean view
summer hotel at Blueport, r. I.
There Is very sane, sensible story
Of Infinite humor, with flashes of dain-
ty sentiment, that concerns young
couple clipping for a second honey
moon, upon the eve OF a divorce in
spired by fascinating sales-girl, who
graduates into fame as a seductive
queen of the movies Among the musi-
cal numbers, already hummed and
danced to from coast to coast, are:
"You Said Something, "I'm SO Busy,
Look In His Eyes, Napoleon,
Honeymoon Inn, Can The Cabaret,
Daisy, "Samarkland", "My Wife-My
Man., I'm Here Little Girls, I'm
Here and "The Road That Lies Be-
fore" The cast is one of quality with
a chorus that is distinctive, for Mr..
Savage insists that his singers must
really be able to sing. An enjoyable
feature of the musical program will be
found in the special orchestra carried
by the company. The organization to
be seen here is the only one playing
".Have A Heart, and is under the per-
sonal direction of Henry w. Savage.

FOOD WILL Be
CHEAPER IN near
FUTURE, peek SAYS
Relief From the High Cost Of Living
Is Promised by Chairman OF Coy
eminent Board just Making
Investigation.

Washington, March 25-Cheper food
In the near future was predicted by
Chairman Peek, Of the Department Of
Commerce, Industrial Board, as a re-
suit Of conference with Food Admin
istration officials In New York.
Peek said there had been general
misunderstanding of recent state
ment by Herbert c. Hoover that wheat
might 60 to $3.50 bushel, and added
that the billion-dollar grain appro-
priation was made by Congress to
enable the public to obtain wheat pro-
ducts at reasonable prices as well as
to make good the guarantee to the
producer.
With wheat prices reasonable, Mr.
Peek said, reasonable prices Of other
products could be expected, because
wheat was the barometer Of the food
trade.
Peek and William M. Ritter, men,
Der of the board. returned from New
York this morning, where they went
to secure from officials Of the Food
Administration and its grain corpora
ton a statement of their policy on
food prices.
Mr.. Peek today made this state
ment:
Food Administration officials felt
that it was unfortunate that there had
been such general misunderstanding
Of Mr.. Hoovers statement that we
might see wheat at $3.50 bushel
what Mr.. Hoover said was we
might see wheat at $3.50 a bushel, as
it was in the spring of 1917, of there
is free market in wheat and uncon-
trolled prices. So much for the 1918
crop. There can be no free market OF
90 per cent of the worlds exports. AS
to the 1919 crop it is, of course, too
early to come to any precise conclu-
sion.'
wheat is the basic food commodity.
What is reasonable cost must be de-
termined by conditions. In July the
new wheat crop, estimated at more
than a billion and quarter bushels,
will begin to come to market.
81 believe, therefore, that there is
every reason to expect lower food
prices in the relatively near future.
This view I believe the men in charge
of the affairs of the Food Administra-
ton will share

"THE LIAR" BIG PLAY

A tremendous play of mother who
fights for the honor of her unborn
child, is given in THE Liar, Virginia
Pearson's latest photodrama, which
will be seen next Thursday, March II,
at the Pastime Theater.
"The Liar" is play that strikes
right down to the depths of every
mothers heart,-or, for that matter,
the heart of anybody who reveres and
respects motherhood. And in enact
ing the big smashing problem that Is
given in this production, Miss Pearson
rises to great heights Of dramatic
power. She is supported by cast no
table for its consistent ability.
In "The Liar" Miss Pearson por-
trays the role of a girl who is sought
in marriage by the scheming super
ntendent of her fathers Haitian plan
tation. When the girl repulses the
man and is about to wed another, THIS
superintendent confronts her with the
accusation that she has negro strain
in her blood
She laughs at him, but months later
when she is about to become a mother
he confronts her husband with papers
which purport to be proof of his as
sertion.
But the young wife still has the
courage to fight, and by a clever ruse'
wrings from the superintendent an ADJ
mission that his charges are wholly
baseless.

The new law contains distinct i'm
provements over the Acts Of 1916 and
1917, which it replaces. 1t CONSOLE
dates scattered provisions relating to
taxes on individual income and re-
lieves individuals and partnerships
from the excess-profits tax. 1t also
permits deduction Of losses in trans

limitation upon the deduction Of inter-
est upon Indebtedness.

file at the Chamber Of Commerce and

tunity to secure this information.
