LOCAL MERCHANTS
BOOSTING FOR EXTRA
Zoe ROAD TAX
Prominent Maysyllle Shoe Dealer Says
City's Experience With Good
Streets Should Help
Carry Election.

Mr.. Harry Barkley, prominent Mays
vile Shoe Dealer, in discussing the
proposed road tax election, said that
he told one of our prominent Mason
county farmers that he was mighty
glad that the Fiscal Court had decided
to call the election for the purpose Of
securing the needed funds with which
to make the necessary road improve
ments.
Mr.. Barkley further stated that
while he did not possess an auto, he
wanted his friends to enjoy riding over
good roads. The brick streets of Mays
vile were also cited to the customer
as an example of what Mason county
could count on, in the future. Before
the brick was put down the city was
continually paying out money for up
keep. Since then, the city has been to
no expense for upkeep.
OF course all the merchants are in
terested in the improvement of the Ma
son county highways, but we all know
that any additional money that is
turned into the Maysville channels of
trade, will eventually find its way, in
some proportion, into the pockets of
every citizen of Mason county.
We know of no better way of in
creasing the wealth of the county than
by voting YES on the road tax issue
and give our Fiscal Court the oppor-
tunity to give us the type of roads we
need and deserve.
1t is known fact that good roads
bring the farmer closer to town, in
creases the value of his property by
making it closer to town and encour-
ages him to increase the production of
his farm. Better roads give him easier
access to the market. The markets
will improve with the improvement of
the roads.

CLEANUP MUST Be

OUCH, SAYS Citizen
Prominent Citizen Tells Something
About What Should BE Done In
Proposed Cleanup Cam
paign In Maysvllle.

81 am heartily In favor OF Clean
Up and Paint Up Campaign for our
town and believe something should be
done at once to start 1t going"
A prominent citizen said today. "The
best evidence of public spirit is the in
terest shown in matters Of this kind.
ut Is our duty to promote conserva-
tion and production in every way pos
sible--to conserve civic ideals as well
as health and property; and to in
crease commercial and industrial, as
we'll as food production, that all may
be enabled as we'll as urged to save
for our country's needs.
Cleanliness, thrift and civic pride
are the essentials for homes and towns
beautiful and safe from the ravages OF
disease, fire, storm and sun.
cellars and attics should be clear
ed Of the winters accumulation OF
trash and FIRE risk, and liberal coats OF
paint should be applied wherever the
ravages of the elements have begun to
get in their work on the outside, while
every inside surface Of walls and
floors is made sanitary by paint and
varnish.
"The work of paint and painters in
bringing cheerfulness and color and
hygiene to the home is discounted
however, II the rear yard is left to af-
ford hiding place for trash and re-
fuse which can be removed at little or
no expense.
"The insurance and fire prevention
people ought to help arouse interest in
this, for the national fire loss through
preventable fires is $25O,OoO, 900, which,
however, is exceeded by the annual
loss through the lack Of painting-ac-
cording to Prof H. H. King, who has
conducted paint tests for several years
for the people Of Kansas, at the
Kansas Agricultural College. Indeed,
it would seem that the property OWL
ers generally should be deeply inter-
ested, for nobody now can replace
building for its original cost.
"I repeat that am heartily in favor
Of real Clean Up and Paint Up Cam
paign. 1t should be started as soon as
possible,"

HEALTH BOARD MOVES
Office TO LOUISVILLE
Headquarters Of the Kentucky State
Board Of Health Are TO be Moved
to States Largest City.

Ever widening scope Of the Ken
lucky State Board Of Health has made
necessary the moving Of its headquar-
ters from Bowling Green to Louisville
to take advantage Of greater opportun-
tiles presented for reaching all parts
OF the State from a central location
there, according to DR.. A. T. McCor-
mack, secretary-of the board.
DR.. McCormick's announcement re-
veals far-reaching plans for future
cooperation between the State Board
Of Health and the University Of Lou
isville.
Three separate schools are antici-
pated from the move. The schools
will be conducted jointly by the State
Board Of Health and the University Of
Louisville-a school for public health
nurses, one for all time health Of
ficers and one for welfare workers
from public health standpoint. These
classes will fill the need for health
workers in every county in Kentucky,
said DR.. Mccormack.
The board will occupy the old I'm
ion National Bank building at Sixth
and Main streets, using all Of the sec
ond, third and fourth floors. Vault
space for keeping the State records
will occupy a large part Of the first
floor and a part of the basement will
be used for storage Of less important
documents.

BLUE BLOOD COW
ON EXHIBITION AT
HOLSTEIN SHOW
Pure Bred HOlstein With Record Of 2l
Pounds Of Butter q Week on Ex.
hlbit at Big Free Show.

Thursday morning Prilly Lyons De
kol, a lady whose acquaintance you
should make, will perform for the
benefit of the public in connection with
the Holstein exhibit. She will appear
for the remainder of the week, and ey-
cry one Is invited to see her free of
charge. During the day she will be on
exhibition in front Of Mike Browns
store, and day and night she will DEM
onstrate her worth. In case Of bad
weather she will occupy her suite at
Parker and Riley's livery stable where
she will receive guests.
Please remember that the blue
blooded member of Holstein aristo-
cracy is well worth your attention. II
is rare in Mason county to find COW
that has a record of over 20 pounds of
butter in week. Prilly has produced
over q pounds of butter in seven days,
and is now giving over 60 pounds of
milk daily. 1t is expected that she
will be unable to hold up to eight
gallons of milk daily under the strain
of exhibition and its attendant excite
ment, together with the loss of the
blue grass to which she is accustomed,
but she will do her best.
Since the Hclstein produces milk
most nearly like mothers milk, it
would be possible to furnish 80 babies
l quart of milk daily from this COW.
The butterfat in Holstein milk is cas-
lily digested, and the relative per cent
of milk, sugar, protein, and mineral
matter is larger in Holstein milk than
in that of any other breed.

much interested in seeing this election
carried that they expect to have meet
ings in every precinct in the entire
county sometime during the campaign
when the speakers will thoroughly ad-
wise the voters on what is proposed
should the election be carried for the
twenty-cent tax.
Chairman Dodds, of the Publicity
Committee, expects to have published
in county press from time to time ar
ticles that will be educational to the
people and will give them some idea
of what can be expected should the
people decide to vote this extra tax.
AS it is very important that the
get started off right, it is
urged that every person selected as a
precinct chairman be present at Sat-
urday's meeting at the Chamber of
Commerce.

Lexington, KY, May IA. April
showers which caused the streets OF
Lexington to run with water today did
not dampen in any wise the arder of
the Republican hosts of the State of
Kentucky which gathered here today
to talk over prospects for the coming
election, make platform and recon-
mend those who are to be selected as
candidates by the Republicans in the
primary election.
The advance guard Of the Mason
county delegation which arrived in
Lexington Tuesday evening met the
main delegation at the Phoenix Hoetl
lobby this morning and the Mason
county delegation was soon thorough
ly organized. They found that the
only two men Mason county had in
structed for-Ed Morrow and ]. ].
Craig also had instructions from most
every county in the entire state.
Mason county folks here today felt
considerably honored when Judge
Charles Kerr, of Lexington, a native
Mason countian, was chosen to pre-
side over the great convention. Judge
Burgess ]. Bethrum, of Somerset, act
ed as temporary chairman, and Harry
Giovannoli of Fayette county, tempor-
ary secretary.
All hotels are crowded and there is
really many more delegates present
than had been expected but the people
of Lexington are taking care of them
in good shape.
The leaders Of the party in all sec
tions are very much pleased with the
prospects of victory in the fall. Ed
P. Morrow, who will receive the nomi-
nation for Governor without opposi-
ton, today said 81 never saw pros
poets for the Republicans in Kentucky
so flattering. Delegations from all
parts of the state seem united in their
spirit"
The question of the legality of Gov
ernor A. o. Stanley's order that the
election of Representative in the
Eighth Congressional District be held
on the date of the primary election,
August 2, was raised. A committee,
composed of Attorneys John NJ. Chill
ton, Of Louisville; NJ l.. Calvin, of
Covington, and ]. H. Gillian, of Scott
vile, was appointed to look into the
law and report to a meeting of the
State Central Committee.
Members of the latter committee be-
lieve that the Democrats would have
an advantage in point of numbers at
the polls primary day. as they will
have the greater number of contests
for nominations. The Democratic view
is that it is more economical to hold
the election to choose the successor to
the late Congressman Harvey Helm on
primary day than it would be on any
special day.
The tentative platform for the con-
sideration of the convention is being
nailed together by the leaders. 1t calls
for Endorsement of prohibition and wo-
man suffrage, state and national. 1t
does not call for the repeal of the
state tax law, but declares in favor of
strengthening amendments and better
enforcement. Nothing has been writ
ten relative to the League of Nations
nor the National Administration, but it
is understood that the platform will
contain criticism of the latter.

LIGHT CROPS TO

Silas Shelburne, a Lexington tobac-

say: Smoking is increasing, while
chewing is falling off; so we may ex-
pect good prices for all the fine bright
crops of tobacco next season, and low
prices for all the heavy dark crops.
Prices will no doubt be more than ever
