The Desert

| crossed the desert in a car

without jolt or jar, in bright
green plush arrayed. And when
| wished to sleep at night and
rest my drowsy head, there came
a porter, most polite, who tucked
me into bed. And to the dining
car | went three times a day, at
least; beneath large trays the
walters bent. and brought a gor-
geous feast. The train was full
OF danes and men who grumbled
all the time; they'd never come
cut there again-the desert was
crime. 1t hurt their eyes to
view the sand, and watch the
hills Of stone; and everything
their anger famed. and they put
up a groan. And | recalled the
pioneers who blazed the path
that way. and sternly whaoked
their mules and steers through
burning sand all day. They only
halted in their stride across that
waste accurst to plant some fel
low who had died Of heartbreak
or OF thirst. wished those
mighty men Of old could board
that gorgeous train and there
some moving discourse hold Of

MASON FARMERSC
SlDER ERECTION OF
GRAIN ELEVATORS
Farmers May Handle Their Own Grain
II Plan Now Under Consideration
MISUNDERSTANDING To Be
Held Soon.

Mason county farmers may erect in
Maysville before the next grain deliv-
cry season large grain elevator to
handle their own crops, according to
information received here today. II is
known that the farmers are so very
much pleased with the way the Mason
County Farm Bureau has handled the
matter of purchase that they are con-
sidering seriously the matter of hand
ling the sale of their crops through
some such organization.
Information received today was that
the Farm Bureau will not likely be the
organization through which the sale
of farm crops will be handled but the
matter of forming Sales Company OF
some sort is now being threshed Out
by the farmers, members of that or.
ganization. While the present tenta.
tive plan is to organize the compan,
OF members of the Farm Bureau, il is
understood that the plan is not to or.
ganize Farmers Union as has beer
done in other sections of the country
local Farm Bureau leaders thinkinl
that the Farmers Union plan is al
wrong.
Just to what extent this proposed
plan will be carried out this year /!
not known but it is known that ther,
is much discussion of the matter an,
that some definite action along thi.
line is expected within a few days.

As Ne WAS LEAVING CITY

Train Bound for Cincinnati When
Policeman Located Him.

Ed "Bikie" Mason, who escaped
from the Mason county Jail Wednesd-
day morning as the jailer was taking
Thomas Marksberry's breakfast to him
on the second floor of the Jail, is again
behind the bars He was arrested late
Friday afternoon by Patrolman P. Ry-
an near the c. & o. depot.
About o'clock a telephone message
came to the police station that Mason
was aboard the train and Officer Ryan
went to the foot of Market street where
he saw the escaped prisoner on one of
the freight cars. He Immediately sum
moned an automobile and drove to the
c. & o. depot, The train, which had
stopped there for water, was searched
thoroughly and Mason could not be
found. The officer started as if to
walk up the railroad track when the
engine started to move and then he
caught the rear end of the train. Ma
son ran up toward the train from the
river bank, where he was in hiding as
if to catch the train and officer Ryan
headed him off having little trouble
then to place the negro under arrest.
Mason is under indictment for house
breaking and burglary and will likely
be tried at the September term of the
Mason Circuit Court

PROVISIONS OF
THE new FEDERAL
PENSION LAW
Who VIII Receive Increase Under New
Bill and the Amount Of In
crease All VIII
Receive.

Kentucky old soldiers and widows of
soldiers will receive increases of PEN
sions under the Fuller bill, which is
now safely through both branches of
Congress. There are more Civil War
soldiers in Ohio than in any other
state, but every state in the Union will
have benefciaries under the act, Ohio
leading all the others.
The bill applies in the main to the
soldiers of the Civil War and their
widows, but was broadened before its
final passage so as to include also the
widows of soldiers of the war of 1912,
and the widows and veterans of the
Mexican war, of whom the number is
comparatively negligible.
There are four main provisions of
the law, as follows:
1. Every man who served ninety
| days or longer in the army, navy or
marine corps of the United States dur
ing the Civil War, and who has been
honorably discharged, or who, having
} served less than ninety days, was dis
! charged for disability incurred in the
service, and in line of duty, shall be
entitled to pension of $50 month.
2. Every such person who is help
less or blind, or so nearly helpless or
blind as to require the aid of another
person, shall receive $72 a month.
9. The widow of any such soldier,
sailor or marine who was married to
her soldier or sailor or marine hus-
band prior to June 81, 1905, shall re-
ceive $50 a month.
4, Minor, helpless or imbecile chill
dren of such service men, whose i'm
becility or helplessness developed
prior to sixteen years of age, shall re-
ceive $50 month. instead of $50 as
provided by existing law.
Persons drawing pensions by spe-
cial act lower than these rates shall
be entitled to the higher ratings car
ried in the new bill 1t is estimated
that the increases carried by the bill
will amount to about S15,000000 an
nually.

WRIGHT'S LATEST
BOOK TO Be SHOWN
On SCREEN HERE
"The Eyes of the WOrld- VIII Be
shown mt the Washington and Gem
Theaters Next Week.

Readers of THE Eyes of the World"
in book form will recall in that re-
markable story of California many
people and situations that should pro-
vide rare opportunities for character
portrayal For this reason many who
were charmed by Harold Bell Wright's
graphic and melodramatic romance of
California will probably see in the
elaborate film version at the Wash
ington and Gem Theaters on May 18th
and 18th, a drama of absorbing inter
est and strength along these lines.
AS for their opportunities. take, for
instance. the character of LeGrange,
the cynical writer, as revealed in his
own words in the novel: Working!
Me? I don't work anywhere. l am a
literary scavenger. l haunt the intel
lectual slaughter pens and live by the
putrid offal that self-respecting writ
ers reject. l CLEAN the sinking mate
rials for my stories from the sewers
and cesspools of life. For the dollars
they pay l furnish my readers with
those thrills that public decency for
bids them to experience first hand. My
books breed moral pestilence and spir-
itual disease. The unholy filth l write
fouls the minds and pollutes the imag-
nations of my readers. am an insti-
gator of degrading immortality and un-
mentionable crimes. Work. No, young
man. don't work. Just now | am do
ing penance in this damned town. My
rotten imaginings have proved too
much, even for me-and the doctors
have sent me west to recuperate"
Then there's Taine, the dissolute
product of a life of self-indulgence
and low ideals. He is thus sktched in
the authors graphic words:
'The hideous ruin that Mr.. Tains
had. in himself, wrought by the GRIM
inal dissipation of his manhoods s
strength, and by the debasing of his
physical appetites and passions, was to
Aaron King. now. token of the intel
lectual. spiritual and moral ruin that
alone con result from a debased and
depraved dissipation of an artists
creative power"

SENIOR CLASS PLAY PLEASES
A VERY LARGE AUDIENCE
"Green Stockings, is Well Presented
BY Members of Glass of 30 Mays.
Vile High School Friday Eve.

The members of the class of 20 NJ.
H. S. acquitted themselves with honor
at the Washington Theater Friday eve
ming in the presentation of Green
Stockings" a delightful play with
many exciting incidents.
The theater was well filled with rel
atives and friends of the members of
the cast and the Senior class and
everyone enjoyed themselves very
much. In many respects this years
class play was by far the biggest and
best class play ever presented by the
graduates. The play was certainly, the
most gorgeously costumed and staged
play ever given by the High School
students and probably had as large an
audience as any play ever given by the
school. The profits of the play will be
used by the class in helping to defray
/ the expenses of publishing this years
annual, which, by the way, is to be the
most attractive annual yet issued by
| lhS MdysNiilt IllBH bCnOOl.
Miss Cant Of the High School faculty
who directed the play, deserves much
credit for its success.
Now that the class play is out of the
way, the members of the Senior class
will give all of their attention to max
ing preparations for the closing OF
school. Graduation week this year is
to be filled from Monday to Saturday
with big events all of which will be
now planned.
An experienced local critic has this
to say of the play:
In a play where the entire cast was
inexperienced amateurs II woulI he
censorious and ill-natured to indulge
in dramatic criticism The play was
well coached well staged and well
acted. and the almost continuous round
of applause attested the appreciation
of the audience which packed the
house to the limit.
The staging and beautiful costumes
worn so gracefully added greatly to
the charm of the play.
Miss Thelma Stahl made most ac-
ceptable leading lady and was well
supported by Miss Anna Fred Harbe-
son, who showed decided talent in her
impersonation of gay vivacious fir
tatious younger sister Miss Eloise
Burgess. in comedy role of Aunt Ida
made big hit and the house roared
with laughter and applause. William
Farley. as the returned Col Smith and
lover. was success, for he won the
leading lady.
Indeed the entire cast acted well
their parts and Maysville is to be con-
graduated upon her ability to put on
such a creditable Glass Play"
The stage furnishings were contrib
utter by Mcllvain, Diener G. Knox.
The music was furnished by the
High School Orchestra.
