OUR POLICY :

another.. And likewise to earnestly and consistently oppose all thing
,hat are not for the good of the county as a whole.
WHY NOT CLOSE THE GAP
That the recent coal and railroad strikes which produced a
marked shortage of coal at practically every city along the Ohio
River has emphasized the necessity of Ohio River improvement at the
earliest possible date was the declaration of the Ohio Valley Improve.
nient Association which closed an enthusiastic session at Louisville
last week.
The cure for this evil was declared to be the completion within
five years of the twelve locks and dams which will complete the
canalization of the Ohio Kiver from Pittsburgh to Cairo and insure
a nine foot stage from source to mouth at all seasons.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that Congress should im
mediately adopt the ""Continuing Contract Plan" for the completion
of improvements along the Ohio River and make generous appropria
tions until the work is accomplished.
Statements were made at the convention by distinguished mem
" bei-s of the United States Engineers Corps that if such annual appro
priations were given the United States Enginers, with authority to
continue the work, there would be no difficulty in completing the
work within the next five years.
The convention developed that of the fifty-one locks and dams
necessary to assure a nine foot navigation stage in the Ohio River,
thirty-six are already completed and in successful operation, and that
of the twelve yet to be completed, six are under construction and
but six are to be commenced.
Of the nine hundred, and fifty (950) miles traversed by the Ohio
River from Pittsburgh to Cairo, more than six hundred miles (600).
' or the distance to a point below Louisville can now be navigated by
light draft vessels and barges for fully two hundred and twenty (220)
days of the year, and on an artificial wave it has been possible to
float down coal cargoes almost as far as Owensboro and Evansville,
The Ohio Valley Improvement Association has adopted the slogan
"Close the Gap" for its 1922-23 Campaign and it expects to carry
the battle to Congress until the nation is thrilled with the importance
of immediate action for the joining of the navigation of Ohio and
Mississippi rivers and the creation of a stable route from the Middle
"West to the Gulf of Mexico. t
The Louisville meeting was the most successful convention in
the history of the association and was attended by 800 representative
business men from cities of the Ohio Valley section in Ohio. Indiana.
Kentucky, West Virghiia, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
In many of the cities builders have been bidding against each
other for carpenters, until wages in some instances have gone up to
$12 a day. Yet the Democrats tell us American industry is depressed.

liocal football fans are hoping that
before the season closes the Maysville
High School football team will meet
a team of about Its own Biie. The local
team haa the grit and "pep" and the
boys know the game but they lack the

out on the holiday and lend the boys
our support.

Now that Hallow E'en is over, all
attention will be turned to plans for

Eight deaths from diphtheria In one
precinct are reported from Fleming

has issued warning after warning on
this disease and yet parents heed not

is not a single case of the disease in
Mason county at present and we hope
there will not be, but parents should
watch their children and investigate
at the first appearance of sore throat
