TWO ADDITIONAL
RESIDENCES WILL
Be BUILT AT ONCE
Home Building and Realty Company
Makes Contract For the Erection
Of Two More Bungalow Homes
in East Second Street.

The Home Building & Realty Com
pany, of this city, which was organ
fzed only few months ago by prog
ressive local men who saw that hous-
ing conditions in the city Of Maysville
were such that something must be
done and done this season, has just
closed a contract with Mr.. Jack Cook
and the Maysville Lumber Company
for the erection Of two additional new
bungalow residences on East Second
street near Union.
These new homes will be located on
the property generally known as the
i Maysville Coal Company property,
where this same firm has now under
the course of construction two new
bungalows. One Of these last two
houses will be built between the two
now under construction and the other
will be built West Of these three. The
two houses last contracted for will be
considerably larger than the ones now
being built and work on these houses
will begin at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
AS soon as completed these houses,
like the other two, will be offered for
sale by the company, that concern be-
ing organized primarily for the pur-
pose Of building and selling moderate
priced homes properly equipped In
which the average sort of man can
make home.
It has been a we'll known fact to ev-
eryone in Maysville for many months
that the housing problem was our
greatest economic problem and from
the manner in which the Home Real
ty & Building Company is going after
this problem, 1t appears that they, at
least hope to do their part in solving
this problem. This concern owns 9TH
er good residence property in the
East end of the city which will be de-
veloped in this manner later on and
they promise to give to Maysville sew
real fine new homes before this season
closes.
During the coming tobacco season
the rentable property in the city Of
Maysville will all be occupied and, as
heretofore, there will again be a cry
for a place to live. Persons who are
wise to this situation and who have
passed through such experiences as
renters do in Maysville every winter,
are more and more making up their
minds to purchase homes of their own
and this new concern is filling long
felt need in building homes for such
to purchase

eggs MUST Be CAN.
died BEFORE Sale,
DR.. RICE SAYS
Mason County Health Officer SAYS
That Eggs Are Being Brought
Here and Offered For Sale
Which Have Not Been
Candled.

Some time ago attention was
brought to the County Health Depart
ment that eggs were being brought
into Maysville from Mason and other
counties, without being candled, which
is in violation of the new State law
relative to Gambling eggs.
DR.. Rice took this matter up with
the Bureau of Pure Foods and Drugs
of the State Board of Health and fol-
lowing letter gives very plainly the
position the County Health Depart
ment is to take:
Louisville, KY, July 23, 1919.
DR.. John l.. Rice,
Maysville, Kentucky.
Dear DR.. Rice:
Replying to your favor of the 18th
inst, which has just reached me, am
enclosing you the copy of the rules
and regulations governing the cand-
ling Of eggs, and an explanatory cir
cular of information
The proper enforcement of these re-
gulations have such direct bearing up
on the public health, that we are ask
ing the County Health Officers all over
the State, to secure the cooperation
of some of the representative handlers
Of this food product in their respec-
tive counties to get the names of wit
nesses by whom it may be shown that
the law is being violated and place the
matter in the hands of the county at
torney for prosecution.
Hoping that you will be able to
make an example of few of these Of
tenders in your section, and give the
matter as wide publicity through the
newspapers, as possible, l am,
Yours very truly,
]. N. MCCORMACK, Director.
1t is earnestly desired that the pub
lie, who are selling eggs in this Sec
ton of the State will meet these re-
quirements promptly and do their rart
in giving Kentucky a reputation for
sound wholesome eggs. Some of the
egg handlers are complying with this
law and doing the square thing, and
the Health Department proposes to
take a hand in protecting these deal
ers as far as possible.

REVENUE OFFICE
Branch Office Of International Rev
enue Collector Which Has Been
Located Here For Several
Years Is Not Included In
Reorganization
System.

Indications at present are that the
local branch Revenue Office at the
government building will be closed
within very short time and that in
the future there will be no Deputy
United States Revenue Collector To-
Gated in Maysville.
Maysville is not one of the eight cit
les which have been selected by FL
wood Hamilton, of Lexington, who has
Just been named Internal Revenue
Collector for the entire state of Ken
lucky. Chief offices for the new col
lector for the entire state will be To-
Gated in Louisville and there will be
eight branch offices in various parts
of the state where Deputy Collectors
will be located In this list of eight
cities in various parts of the state, the
city of Ashland, which at present has
no revenue office, has been included
and Maysville, where an office has
been located for more than fifty years,
has been excluded,
Deputy Collector William Lindsey
in charge of the Maysville Office is in
Lexington today in conference with
Collector Hamilton to learn at first
hand the fate of the Maysville office
Although there will be no more need
of revenue stamps at local distiller-
les there are several cigar and tobac-
CO factories located here which will be
put to considerable trouble to procure
revenue stamps, Ashland and Lexing-
ton being the closest offices to this
city.
An effort should be made before it
is too late to retain for Maysville this
branch office. The matter should have
the immediate attention of the Cham
ber of Commerce and local firms
which it greatly benefits.

JUDGE HUGHES IN
A STATEMENT PRO-
ESRESERVATIONS
League Of Nations Is Needed But
America Should Take Care Of Her
Own Rights In the Proposition.


Washington, July 2s.-Charles E.
Hughes, in a reply to a letter from
Senator Frederick. Hale, Republican,
asking him for his views on the
League of Nations, states that 1t is his
opinion the United States Senate
would pursue prudent course In en-
tering the proposed league with re-
servations of reasonable character,
which would meet ready assent, and
thus establish a condition of amity
at the earliest possible moment"
In his letter, which was made pub
lie here today, Mr.. Hughes suggests a
number of reservations and interpre-
tations before ratification. Mr.. Hughes,
although very clearly stating the need
of League Of Nations, points out that
this country should pursue "the mid
die ground between aloofness and in
furious commitments" in order to safe
guard American rights and integrity.
while the importance of Article x
is strongly emphasized by its support
ers," Mr.. Hughes asserts, at is objec-
tionable because 1t is an illusory en-
gagement."
Mr.. Hughes made no reference in his
letter to Senator Hale Of the treaty of
Great Britain and the United States
to go to Frances aid in case Germany
should again attack her.
Senator Hale in his letter to Mr..
Hughes stated that it is his opinion
that more than one-third of the Sen
ate would refuse to ratify the League
of Nations covenant as it now stands.

NINETEEN KILLED IN
CHICAGO RACE RIOTS
Battle Between Whites and Blacks in
Windy City Grows as Many Die
and Are Wounded.

Chicago, July 29.-Chicago's race
war today had claimed 10 lives. Sew
en- negroes and IL white men were
killed in rioting bursting forth in the
negro section and extending to Chi
cago's business district. Two negroes
were killed in the loop" today. Police
and other observers said the deaths
would exceed that number. The in
jured number over $50 stabbed, shot
and beaten. Whites and blacks are
about evenly divided among the in
jured.
State militiamen were held fully
equipped with riot ammunition in
their armories. Governor F. o. Low
den, here to confer with city officials
over the riot and street car strike, in
structed the adjutant general to rush
troops to the riot district whenever
police called for help.
The last recorded death occurred
in the business center of the city
when an unidentified negro lost his
life. A mob headed by six sailors
dragged him from a restaurant with
two other negroes. He was beaten tc
death before officers arrived.
Other negroes were jostled but not
seriously hurt, and we're rescued by
police.
The mob responsible for that death
had toured the loop all night with
howls and songs, searching out negro
might workers. Red caps were chased
from the railway station. Colored
travellers were frightened away.
