Spring CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN IS NOW
Being SUGGESTED
Local Organizations Should Unite In
Making Spring Cleanup Day In
Maysville This Year a Pro.
nOunced Success In Every
Respect.

It's now about time to begin think
ing about a city-wide cleanup and
paint-up campaign and already mat
ter suggesting plans is being received
by Mayor Thomas M. Russell, the Ma
son County Woman's Club and the
Maysville Chamber of Commerce. It
Is the plan to have the business men
through the Chamber of Commerce
and the women of the community
through the Woman's Club to unite on
a plan and upon date This plan will
have the hearty cooperation of the
city administration, Mayor Thomas NJ
Russell said today and he will be glad
to do anything through his Office that
will help to make the movement a
success.
Chairman Watkins, of the City In
ternal Improvement Committee and
Street Commissioner Ben Smith, will
also lend their hearty cooperation to
the movement and it is more than
likely that some definite action will be
taken in this regard within the next
few days.
The Cleanup campaign which ex-
tended over period of week last
year in Maysville was considered a
great success. Much of this success
was due to the efforts OF the women
of the Woman's Club and without
heir hearty cooperation and assist
ance the campaign this year would be
failure. However, that live organi-
zation has always taken great inter-
est in such movement and there is
no doubt at all but that this year they
Twill do as they have always done in
the cleanup movement.
Action was taken today to fix some
| week in the very early spring when
this campaign can be put on and in
which all of the people can unite in
making 1t a real success it should be.
There is much to be cleaned up in
Maysvlle since the winter and every
one should be ready to help.

BARKOOT'SBIG SHOWS
COMING TO MAYSv|LLE
DURINGF|RST Of APRIL
Committee From DeKalb Lodge Of
Odd Fellows VIII Give Big Show
Here During April For Bene.
fit Of Widows and
Orphans Home.

Contracts were signed Thursday
night by representatives Of the De-
Kalb lodge of Odd Fellows with Mr..
BILLY" Marcus, general agent of the
X. G. Barkoots Exposition Shows, for
a weeks engagement in this city from
April to IL inclusive.
The special committee Of Odd Eel
lows appointed to have the manage
ment of this benefit show is composed
of Messrs. Thomas NJ. Russell, ]. A.
Dodson, W. r. Smith and H. l.. Walsh.
All of the money made by this COM
mittee on the shows exhibition in
Maysville will be donated by them to
the Widows and Orphans Home at
Lexington and there is no doubt but
this will be a good sized fund.
BILLY" Marcus, the clever general
agent for the Barkoot shown says
that this year his company is furnish
ing one of the best shows of the kind
ever put on the road The show is not
a carnival such as the people of Mays
vile have seen in recent years but Is
really big concern. There are six
teen attractions besides five rides,
chief among which are, "The Whip, a
new $4,000 caroussel and a Giant
Eli Ferris wheel. There are also sew
eral free exhibitions and two bands
Vincent Millers big Military Band of
22 pieces is the chief musical organi-
zation with the company and in addi-
ton there is colored Jass TANNERS
band of several pieces that will fur
nish real Jass music.
The show is travelling in their own
special train of twenty-five cars and
has all the appearances of first class
circus. 1t is worth while to see the
shows unload, and it is more than
likely that there will be a great crowd
at the station and the show grounds
on the day of the shows arrival in
Maysville.
This show is appearing only in the
chief cities Of the various states
through which it passes. The show is
this week at Rome, Georgia, and will
make only three cities in the state of
Kentucky, Louisville, Lexington and
Maysville, going from this city to
Toledo, Ohio.
This is really the first big show
booked for Maysville in several sea-
sons and as Maysville has been hun
cry for some real first class show of
the kind there is every reason to be-
lieve that the committee of Odd Eel
lows in charge of the affair will meet
with much success

PIES BUILDING ASSOCIATION

At a meeting of the Directors, held
upon Friday, March 7, 1919, by a
unanimous vote, the Bylaws were so
that the Annual Meeting and
Election will fall upon the first Friday
in July, at 4 p. m, each year, instead
of the first Friday in May, as has here

by getting dividends at time to meet
July bills. 1t will facilitate the rem
dering of reports, and is altogether
desirable.
Dividends will, in the future, be
paid on May LIST, 1919, but, instead, a
fourteen Q4) months dividend will
be paid to all stockholders on June
80, 1919. A new series will be opened
July 1st of each year, in the future.

FARMERS GETTING TO.
BACC0 ALL READY NOW

Several farmers in the county who
have been waiting on getting their
tobacco ready until the market seems
better, have now begun to get the last
of their crops stripped out and ready
for market. The fact that the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company is off the mar
ket for the balance of the season, that
the date of the last sale will be the
last of this month and that there is
now a good tobacco handling season
has caused the farmers who have been
holding back to get quite a move on
them.

Edward A. sherman, Camp Mcclellan representative of the American Railways association. was the guest of honor at the Friday meeting of the Anniston Rotary club and was the recipient of a splendid tribute on the part of the Ro- tary members in the form of silver loving cup.
 Captain sherman was elected to hon orary membership in the club early last year and every feature of the local clubs activities since that time has held a vital interest for him. As the time draws near for the big-hearted Cincinnati man to leave Anniston and the camp, his friends are coming to realize how much he has meant 10 the success of many of the civic movements during his residence in the city, and the remembrance present. ed to him Friday was given as token or the friendship of the Annston busi- ness men.
 The railroad man came to Camp Me Clellan early in the game as the head of the troop movement section and dur ing his assignment here he has become acquainted with more soldiers and citi- zens than any other man in the city or camp.

REAL VETERAN DISCHARGED

Anniston, March 15.-(Special.)-Ser- geant Roy M. McCintock, of the provost guard company, who was discharged at Camp Mcclellan Friday, does not go back to his home in Ohio wearing the gold chevron of foreign service, but is none theless a hero of the great war which has just terminated favorably for the allies and against the Germans.
 Sergeant McClintock was originally a draft recruit from one of the artillery regiments at the local camp, and when the influenza epidemic struck the camp he volunteered to report at the base hos pital and serve as nurse for the many sick men who were then without atten- tion at that time and during all of the great epidemic which took toll of hun dreds of lives he worked day and night to bring relief to the many men who suffered and died during that period
 Sergeant McClintock left Saturday for his home in Canton, Ohio, and few men who have served in the ranks of the local organization have left the service with a record more complete with service of the kind that counts than the Ohio sol- dier who has been returned to civil life by the signing of discharge certificate at the camp Friday.

recruits and officers so that the work may be well advanced when the war de- partment authorizes she organizations. Tt is realized that conditions vary in different parts of the state. so that the work of reorganization will go or with varying degrees of promptness according to the locality. The return of men from federal service is also a factor to be considered. It is not intended that the organization shall be conducted in such manner that any one desiring to serve will be shut out. Experience has shown that it will not be easy matter to obtain personnel of proper calibre, and every effort should be made to reach every available man in your vicinity"
 Section five of the bulletin sets out the manner in which the companies will be accepted by an inspector of the war de- partment.
 The following are the present require ments of the war department for the national guard of the United States:
 Home rendezvous with suitable ar mory and facilities for the care of equip ment: a fair degree of permanency of personnel. which is to be drawn from the immediate vicinity where the organi- zation is located; the probability that the organization will be maintained for a period of years-kept alive by re-enlist- ments and acquisition of recruits; weekly drills at the armory; development Of a force, equipped and thoroughly trained and disciplined, which can be called upon for military service in time of en ergency.
 Of the age of officers of the guard the bulletin says:
 "All must be 21; second leutentns not over 30: first lieutenants not over 35; cap- aims not over 40; majors not over 45; lieu tenant colonels not over 50; colonels not over 55; general officers not over 60."
 Physical requirements for officers are the same as those for enlisted men ex- cept as modified by this order, the bulle- tin says
 Stress is laid upon the fact that it is not necessary for a boy who is IS years of age to get the consent of parent or parents before enlisting in the military forces.
 l. Changes in the weight and height of an applicant are made in the bulletin. A boy who is 63 inches in height and weighs f16 pounds, provided he is active, has firm muscles and is vigorous and healthy may be accepted in the guard.
 Regarding the acceptance of married men the bulletin of Major Moon says:
 Until further orders from this office the enlistment of married men, or men with dependent relatives, who demon- strated that they can and will arrange for the support of their dependents, if called or drafted Into the United States service, is authorized

Montgomery, March 15.-(Special)-ln his first bulletin on the plans of the war department to organize military unit in Alabama, Maj. Hartley A. Moon, United States infantry, acting adjutant general of Alabama, sets out the require nehts and necessary qualifications of the enlisted men and officers. The bulletin contains five pages.
 In order to increase the efficiency Of the military forces of the state, all units that are to be organized, in the fu- tura will conform to the requirements of the war department for the national guard of the United States says the bulletin.
 By vigorous and tactful local recruit ing campaign, as many as possible of the former officers and men of the United States army who are physically fit and also by obtaining as members of your organization such citizens and former members of the state forces as can meet the requirements, the full number re qiired by regulations for organizing military unit should be easily obtained
