POLICE HELP IN SEARCH FOR
MISSING ABERDEEN GIRL
Fifteen -Year-0ld Girl Leaves Home
Near Aberdeen, Selling Lard Taken
From Parents Smoke House.

Maysville police have been asked by
Frank Seibert, who lives just east of
Aberdeen. to assist him in a search for
his daughter, Lucy Lee Seibert l5
years of age, who left her home Friday
and has not been located.
The father says the girl took a
bucket of lard from his smoke house
and it was supposed she had sold the
lard to get funds with which to pay
her railroad fare to some other city.
The local police last night learned that
Mr. John Boiling, who operates a gro
Gerry store in East Second street. Fifth
ward, had yesterday afternoon pur-
chased a bucket of lard from a young
girl.
1t was learned this morning that a
little neighbor boy late yesterday went
to the Seibert home and told Mrs. Sci
bert that her daughter had asked him
to tell her mother that she had gone
to Cincinnati. The girl is large for
her age and is thought to have become
dissatisfied and to have gone to Gin
cinnati to seek employment. The local
police will ask the Cincinnati authori-
ties to assist them in their search for
the girl that she might be returned to
her parents.

Monthly and Widows win Get Sum
Of $50 Per Month.

Washington, April "a. - The House
bill increasing pensions of Civil War
veterans to $50 monthly and those of
the widows of veterans to $50 monthly
was passed Friday by the Senate and
now goes to conference. The increases
were provided to meet the rising costs
of living.
Senate amendments make the in
creases applicable to veterans of the
Mexican War, who number 215, and
widows of veterans, who number 1,576,
and also to the widows of veterans of
the War of 1912. of whom 73 are living.
The present average pension of vet
Grams is $3.50 and that of widows $25
The measure will add about SOS. .250,-
600 to the present pension roll of
$214 100000 Congressional leaders
said this was the last general legisla-
tion planned in behalf of the veterans
of the Civil and Mexican Wars.

dependents on the pension rolls.
Besides the general pension of $50
monthly the bill provided pensions up
to 800 monthly for disabled veterans.

FISCAL COURT WILL
LOOK INTO PROVI-
SIONS OF new BILL
Action on Making Appropriation Of
Home Demonstration Agent is
Postponed BY County Com
nIissiOners.

At a special meeting of the Mason
Fiscal Court held this afternoon Mr..
John r. Downing, President of the
Mason County Farm Bureau, and
others again requested that the coun-
ty make an appropriation of $500 to
help pay the salary of a@full time
County Demonstration Agent and the
Commissioners postponed action on
the matter until the new bill passed by
the last legislature regarding appro-
priations for Agriculture can be in
vestigated.
The officers of the Farm Bureau, as
argument for the 5000 appropriation
they are seeking, stated that the recent
legislature had passed a bill requiring
counties where there were Farm Bu-
reaus of 100 members or more to ap-
propriate $4,000 for agricultural i'm
provement. The officers of the Mason
County Farm Bureau stated that if the
Fiscal Court would appropriate the
$500 needed to get full time Home
Demonstration Agent for Mason coun-
ty, the provisions of this new law
would be waived.
Neither the members of the Fiscal
Court or the officers of the Farm Bu-
reau were well informed on the new
bill and action on the appropriation
was DOStDOned that more inflammation
on the new bill might be obtained.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
SUCCESS WILL DE-
PEND ON WOMEN
New Voters Should EndeavOr to Be-
come Well Informed on Their
Duties Before Casting
Ballot.

Only an intelligent democracy is
safe for the world whether the addition
to the electorate of the women of the
United States is a blessing and a help
toward good government or a menace
and a burden depends unon the degree
of intelligence and unselfsh patriotism
with which women accept and dis
charge the responsibility
Just as there are men who are so
occupied with their own individual in
terests that they will not give time to
public duty, so we may expect to find
corresponding class among women.
Just as there are men who, though
willing to be of service, are so bound
| by the business of providing for those
dependent upon them that they can
ment, so there is class of women so
deferred from public duty. Women
who have the personal care of little
children, of the aged and the sick, are
doing that duty that comes first and
that lies nearest them. They can not
be expected for the period in which
they are so engaged to do more than
get such knowledge of men and issues
as they may be able to pick up in the
midst of their cares and to vote on
election day. But there are women
who are not so engaged, women who
are free TO use their time and energy
as their interest dictates. To these
women a great responsibility has
come. 1t is in their power to acquaint
| themselves with needs and conditions
with men and measures, with the ma
chinery of government and party poll
/ tics and to carry the message to
women not SO situated.
There are ignorant women who do
not know where TO take hold, where to
get information, and who are not able
Justly to value the responsibility of
citizenship. They can not be reached
through the public prints nor by pub
lie lectures. They can only be reached
by personal contact or in small groups
and classes. Women of intelligence,
free to dispose of their time as they
choose, have an imperative call to be
missionaries to the less favored women
to teach them how to be 100 per cent.
Americans.
Shall enlightened intelligence rule
in America or shall brute force destroy
what centuries of effort have built up?
At least one-half the answer to this
question lies with the newly enfran-
chised women.
AS a first lesson in practical politics
Hon. Stanley F. Reed will explain tc
n the women of Maysville and Mason
county at the court house Monday af-
ternoon the Machinery of Party Or
ganization and the Functions of Pri-
/ maries and Conventions"
All women are offered the oppor.
tunity to get this information for the
taking. The court house should bC

COMPROMISE OF
OFFICIALS MAY Save
The HEALTH WORK
Committee Compromise reached FRI
day Evening VIII BE Presented To
Council and Is Expected to
Save Health Department.

The joint meeting of the Ways and
Means Committee of City Council with
the members of the Mason Fiscal Court
Friday evening at the council chamber
was very fruitful and will probably
mean the saving of the Mason County
Health department for the city and
county.
The commitments from outside
agencies ended with the first of April
and the work has been carried on here
by the State Board of Health pending
an adjustment of matters. The city
and county was made a proposition
that if they would pay $4,000 annually
to the Health Department, the outside
agencies would pay $4,000 annually
giving the department an annual bud
get of $4,000 upon which to work.
Mason county's share of this budget
had been suggested on basis of $2,500
from the Fiscal Court and $1,500 from
the city government. This seemed
practically impossible as the city's
funds and contracted expenditures for
the balance of this year would not per-
nit it. At last nights committee meet
ing, however, the Fiscal Court offered
to increase their share to $4,000 If the
city would pay $1,000. Even this
amount seemed impossible until Mr..
Frank Clarke, president of the Mason
County Chapter of the Red Cross, Of
fered to pay 5000 of this 81 900 leav-
ing the city government only to eXpend
$500. The Ways and Means Committee
finally agreed to recommend to City
Council that the sum of $500 be appro-
priated for the work.
Council will be called into special
session within the next few days and
this proposition as it now stands will
he presented to them. This special
meeting will be necessary to get action
on the matter before the first of May
for at that date the local Health De-
partment will either begin work un-
der the new budget system or be
discontinued. lnasmuch as the mem
bership of the Ways and Means Com
mittee represents one-half of the
membership of City Council it seems
practically certain that this compro-
mise will be accepted by council as n
whole.
