CONCRETE PIKE MAY Be
LAID As DEMONSTRATION
County Commissioners Considering
Building Short Piece of Concrete
Pike to Test This Kind Of
Road Construction In Ma
son County.

1t is learned that the members of
the Mason Fiscal Court, who on sew
eral occasions have visited concrete
pixies throughout the state, may build
In the near future short piece of
concrete road on one Of our main
pixies to demonstrate to the people
of the county that the concrete roaS
Is about the best kind of road for con-
struction at this time when the heavy
traffic OF automobile trucks is cut
ting out the macadam pixies of the
county.
1t is more than likely that this piece
of demonstration work will be done
on the Mt Carmel pike from the city
limits past the cemetery to the Coun-
ty Infirmary lane. This piece Of pike
, is used probably more extensively
than any other piece of road in the
county by heavy automobile trucks
some twenty-five or more making
daily trips over it.
The construction of. this demonstra.
tion pike at this place would also give
paved road direct to the MaysvillC
Cemetery gate and the public will gi,'
the Commissioners their hearty en-
dorsement on such a proposition.

come, 1t Is Learned.

October first is the regular time for |

people will open their eyes and grab

their bill, If all unconfirmed reports
in this regard are true. The Water
Company's force of clerks are now
busily engaged in making out the bills
for delivery October first.
Officials Of the Water Company evil
IDENTIFY thought that during the recent
water famine scare in Maysville was
splendid time to learn just who was
using the great amount of water they
were furnishing through the city
mains and force of men started out
to make a careful inspection of how
many water faucets were in the var
ious homes and business houses. These
inspectors were welcomed to the
homes and they were shown all Of the
faucets, all the time they were care
full to get a correct account of the
number of uses city water was being
put to in each house. Reports of these
inspectors have been compared with
the company's records from which
statements have been made each veal
and it is understood that in many
instances the water rents will double
and in some instances they will more
than double.
Some folks have been paying wate
rates on their homes and business
houses that have been in effect 70
many years and although they hav
added bath rooms and hydrants, thes
have not been reported to the Waite
, Company and they have been permit
ted to use this water for years with
out paying for it.
The inspection completed only fe'
weeks ago, however, is said to hav

BURLEY SHORTAGE
IS CAUSE Of GREAT
CONCERN IN DISTRICT
Crop Thought to Be so Per Cent Short
Because Of Unprecedented Drouth
Over This Section.

How short the tobacco crop In the
Burley district is going to be Is
question which manufacturer, dealer
and grower would like to know at this
time. With the crop being cut in ev-
cry section 1t Is generally conceded
that the end Is in sight. Nothing In
the way of drouth has ever hit the en-
tire Burley district with more effec-
tiveness.
There have been times when the
crop would come to the latter part of
August small in size, yet in condition
that when the drouth broke 1t grew
to a rank size, making what the grow
ers console themselves with calling
pounds" In no part Of the district
is even this encouragement held out
this season. Growers have been in
terviewed everywhere. Without ex-
ception they admit that their individ-
ual crop is short, and add that they
know of few crops in their community
are even fair. A survey Of the news
papers of the district reveals that the
best they can gather for the commun-
ity in which they circulate is a fifty
per cent. crop.
!. In southern Ohio those best inform
ed venture the statement that the croI
will not be even this much. The droutf
has continued in Adams, Brown ant
Clermont counties without interrup
ton. Field after field may be seel
which appear that the plants hav
3 made but inconsequental growth sine
8 they were set. There is nothing nov
e that could make 1t into even fift
e per cent yield. South Of the Obi
r river even more discouraging report
b come. One we'll known authority ha
o stated that the crop in Ohio Is bette
than In Kentucky.
The time has arrived now whe
the grower commences to figure, ho'
j. he will get what he has into the barn
without frost damage. True, the frost
have not arrived, but they say ths
u with rain Of any magnitude theI
/ would certainly be change In ten
~ perature and this would mean that II
n time had arrived for all tobacco to
s. housed. Cut and housed as 1t is NOV
and It would be pitiful crop th
- would be made ready for market.
! There Is more interest at this tin
'e as to what effect this certain shor
10 age is going to have upon the pri'
&c of tobacco than anything else. Tn
- tobacco is certain to be high price,
found in the fact that buyers a

BOTH Dover MEN Want

Neither Of Men Implicated In Dover
Case Likely to Give Reduced Bond
Both Want Trials rs Soon

Although upon indictment by the
Grand Jury, Circuit Judge c. d. New

and was unable to do so but the ex-

his bond to $4,000, the same figure al

ALL MASON COUNTY
MEN IN WORLD WAR
ASKED TOJOIN LEGION
Campaign to Begin Next Week to En-
list Every Mason County World
War Veteran In Leslie H. Ar.
thur Post American
Legion.

Plans are being laid now by the Of
flcers of the Mason County Post Amer
ican Legion for the opening Of a big
countrywide y campaign next week
throughout the county to enlist every
Mason county soldier in the late world
war as member of the post.
Next week is campaign week all
over the nation and in the state of
Kentucky the national organization
has asked that the membership be re-
cruited to figure which is less than
half the number of Kentucky men In
the army during the recent war.
Mason county has been asked to en-
list 500 members in their local post
and officials today stated that they
were certain that that figure would
be reached and passed within the week
of the campaign. This campaign will
be only of short duration but will be
intensive and every returned soldier In
the county will probably be approach
ed by the local men who are interested
In perfecting the local post.
In honor of the first Mason county
man to fall on the European battle
fields, the Mason County Post has been
named The Leslie H. Arthur Post
American Legion and this name has
been sent into the national headquar-
ters for matter of record there
During the week of the campaign
it is expected that some of the nation
j. al organizers will be in Mason county
to speak to the soldiers. There will al
e least me some of the state organizers
J. and these men should be heard by ev-
cry soldier for the success Of the
- American Legion will mean much tc

war and every returned soldier should
e be anxious to become one of the frs.
y members of his local camp.

HEALTH LEAGUE has

Every Precinct In Mason County

Tho Mason County Health League,
nm oreanization founded in 1913, to
nromote health and sanitation its
frst work was Bed Side Nursing, 10
proye the value of visiting nurse
that being proven and nurse en-
ployed, It looked toward medlcai eA-
animation in the Rural Schools, which
nroved that a full time Health ofhcer
would be a great asset-not only IN
the schools, but in epidemlcs, and ru-
ra, sanitation. In 1917, 1t raised $3,-
400. to meet the offer of the State and
Government, to make demonstra-
tion in the county, that all Kentucky
might be proud Of. Much was accom-
plished. and many homes took adVan-
tage of the offers to place Sanitary
Toilets on their premises, but Mason
County, as q whole, is far from wha'
II ought to be- For right here at the
County seat we have polluted water
to drink, open sewers and unsanitary
toilets. Could we get honorable men
ton for this?
However, we are still hoping for the
awakening Of righteous indignation
in the souls Of enough strong minded
men to rise up and demand pure
drinking water and sanitary out
houses.
In order to have this work go on, II
was necessary for the Health League
to raise $1,000, to supplement that o
the County, toward the expense OF
full time Health Officer. This mean
the League had no funds for running
expenses, such as office supplies
and equipment, modern health cru
sader supplies, milk for tuberculosi
cases. which has always been furnish

needed for present needs, there Is
CRYING need for tuberculosis sanitoI
ium and Open Air Schools. Every pre-
cinct, should have branch affiliate
with the parent league, and the pres
ent outlook bids fair for live con
munity interest with the determinatio
to get permanent improvements alon
