The old-fashioned girl who used to

of the mouth down and makes
a woman red-nosed and sloppy look

Why does a girl insist on dressing
that way and then get so shocked be-
cause the men look at her hat way ?
Away down in his heart q man
knows that 1t was his orneryness that
got him into trouble. yet he will go
around whining and blaming it or his
Hard Luck.

After shaking hands with a dozen

TEN CENTS WORTH OF DYE AND GOOD

OF course, it would have been absurd to ask Harvard to change its

TRUE AMERICANTSM ASSERTS ITSELF

The nation is having a great exhibition of true Americanism out
on the Pacific coast these days. The star performer IS a man of Scan
dinavian blood-a descendant of the old Vikings-Oe Hanson, mayor
Of Seattle.
The first real outburst of Boshevisn in this country has been met
with the stern power of authority. AS Mayor Hanson puts it:
'tThis was an attempted revolution which they expected to spread
all over the United States. It never got to first base and never will
if the men in control of affairs will tell all the traitors and anarchists
that death will be their portion if thny start anything"
That is real American talk. A little more of that kAd of stuff ad
the wndeyed fanatics will not get very far in this lbertyloving
country where the people know that the majority must rule and that
law and order reigns supreme.
But Mayor Hanson has more to say that is good for every .Ameri-
can t. consider:
81 take the position" he says, that our duty as citizens stands
ahead of the demands of any organization on the face of the earth.
The union man, the business man, the cturchman, must first o. all be
a citizen Any man who owes a higher allegiance to any organization
than he does to the government should be sent to the federal prison
Or deported.
LET the national government stop bordering and conciating
the men who talk against il, !" continues Mayor Hanson III true Roose-
velian style. "Let us clean up the United States Of America. Let all
men stand up and be counted. If the majority of the people Of this
country are disloyal and owe superior allegiance to some other country
or some other cause now is the time to find it ouF. We refuse to treat
with these revolutionists. Unconditional surrender are the terms
That is the kind of talk that sths the blood of every loyal Amer
lean. 1t doesn't make any difference where your parents came from,
1t doesn t make any difference in what part of the earth you yourself
were born; the question is are You as loyal to the United States gov

The Minerva Community Club is
planning a big celebration on next
Saturday in honor of the returned SOL

The club contemplates an evening

soldiers and their friends There will
be supper and ice cream served them
and arrangements have been made to
have the Maysville Boys Band out for
the evening to give big free concert.
A most interesting program at
short talks and music is being ar
ranged for the officers of the club and
1t is expected that the town of Minerva
will be filled with people from all over
that section of the county or the even
ing. Everyone is invited and every
thing will be absolutely free to SOL
diers and those accompanying them.

FEW TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF SPECIAL REGISTRATION
Republicans Having No Fight in the
Primary Of Any Consequence, Take
No Interest-Several Return.
ing Democratic Soldiers
Get Slips.

There was little interest taken in
the special registration at the County
Clerks office today and at three
o'clock there had been but 33 Demo-
Gratis and only Republicans regis
tered.
The great majority of the Democrats
registering were soldiers who were in
training camps or in Europe at the
last registration. There was one Dem
ocrat registering for his first vote,
having just become of age.
There was no special effort made by
the Republicans to have their party
men register at this special registra-
ton as there will be but two or three
minor offices voted for in that party,
the other candidates having no OPP
position in the primary election. Be
cause Of the fact that there Is little
contest in the Republican party for
the primary, members of that party
are taking practically no interest in
the August election, while the fight
in the Democratic party is growing
warmer every day and especially in
this county where a warm Carroll
Black fight seems to be developing.

ARTILLERYMEN ON
TRIP THROUGH STATE
MAY COME HERE
Detachment of Soldiers From Camp
Knox Make Trip On Their Horses
Through State in the Interest
OF Recruiting-May Come
BY Maysyille.

A detachment of the 83rd Field Ar
tillery from Camp Knox, consisting of
five officers and fifty men, with so
horses and two rs millimeter guns is
on its way through the state in the in
terest of recruiting and 1t may be that
the recruiting officers for this section
of the state will route the detachment
through Maysville.
The detachment is stopping in towns
and cities through which it passes for
few days to recruit men and while In
these cities they give drills on lots and
stage a sort of sham battle which
would be very interesting to witness.
The detachment is on a 400-mile re-
cruiting trip through northern Ken
lucky and southwestern Indiana. 1t
left Camp Knox July IL, and has been
giving exhibitions at towns between
Louisville and Lexington From Lex
ington, the last of the week, the de-
tachment will go to Mt. Sterling,
Georgetown, Paris and then to Cincin-
natl either by Maysville or Cynthiana.
The trip is being made on horseback,
with a complete outfit, including roll
ing kitchen and an army escort wagon.
By means of the "show wagon" mess
is prepared on the way, and can be
served within fifteen minutes after
camp is made. One of the features Is
that the detachment is made up large
ly of newly-enlisted men, who will
demonstrate how quickly an artillery
man can be made under modern sys-
TENS of training
Men In the cities touched enlisting
in the S3rd Field Artillery will be
given the opportunity of completing
the 40O-mile trip with the detachment.
They will be given uniforms and
equipment. Recruiting detachment
form the S1st Field Artillery, also
stationed at Camp Knox are working
under the direction of the state re-
cruiting office in Lexington In the
Southern part of the state, while mo-
| torized battery is touring the south
western part.

WORK ON SARDIS PIKE I'M.
PROvEMEMT STARTS AT ONCE
Contractor Who Has Been Awarded
Contract For improvement of Sar.
dis Pike, VIII Be Here Tues
day-WOrk Begins at
Once.

Mr.. s. M. Billiter, of Covington, who
was awarded the contract for the i'm
provement of the Sardis pike by the
Mason County Commissioners, will
come to Maysville on next Tuesday ac-
cording to information received by the
county officials today and he expects
to begin work on the pike immedi-
ately.
Mr. Billiter's machinery and equip
ment has been shipped to Maysville
and is expected to reach here the first
of the week. 1t will be removed to the
Sardis pike Immediately upon its ar
rival in Maysville and work on the job
will be started.
This contractor has the reputation
of being one of the best road contrac-
tors in the state and employs force
enough to complete the work in short
order. His force of men will not play
with the job as some road contractors
have done in the past but the job will
be rushed through and when complet-
ed will be in frst-class shape with
his recommendation behind it.
This improvement has been needed
worse probably than any other stretch
of road in all of Mason county and the
people of the Sardis nelghborhood will
be glad to know that the work is to
begin at once.

MASON COUNTY AWARDED
Third army AUTO TRUCK
State Commissioner Of Roads Informs
County Judge That Another Army
Truck Has Been Awarded to
the Road Department Of
Mason County.

Mason county will certainly have
enough large trucks for its road work
next year. County Judge H. P. Pur-
nell, who was in Frankfort Friday,
had talk while there with State Road
Commissioner Rodman Wiley and that
official informed him that Mason coun-
ty had been awarded another one of
the large army trucks turned over to
the Road Department of this state by
the War Department.
This makes three large army trucks
awarded to Mason county and these
three large trucks should certainly
take care of the road work here
Judge Purnell was anxious to know
when we could expect some of the
trucks as just now the county is need
ing them probably more than they
will in the late summer season. Com
missioner Wiley was unable to inform
him when the trucks would be deliv-
cred. A number Of Quad trucks which
are four wheel drive, have already
been delivered to Frankfort by the
Government and have been distributed
by the state to the mountain counties
where they were allotted but the
trucks awarded to the Bluegrass coun-
ties have not as yet been delivered
Mr.. Wiley assured Judge Purnell that
Mason county's trucks would be turn
ed over Immediately upon their re.
ceipt in Frankfort from the army can
tonments.
