by them last yeaS was redried at 9TH
er plants in the city and then shipped,
very expensive process.
With the establishment of a new re-
drying plant in the city, stimulus
will be given to the Maysville market
from the fact that the tobacco soil
can be disposed of more readily. Dur
ing the past season there was posi-
bly, million pounds of tobacco lost
to this market on account of the farm
ers taking their crops to smaller maj =
kets in order to get their tobacco
sold without delay. The redrying
plants were swamped and the market
was forced to suspend sales ON two
different occasions in order to allow
the plants to catch up.
Besides being great help to the
Maysvillc market, the new plant will
give employment to large number of
persons each winter
At the same time of writing to the
Reynolds Tobacco Co. Mr.. Rains ad-
dressed the Liggett & Meyers Tobacco
Co., which also maintains buying Of
flee here, asking, if they would
place redrying plant here this sum-
mer. So far, he has not heard from
them, but it is thou?ht bv the leading
tobacco men Of the city that the above
named company will follow suit
Navsville would then have five redry-
inc plants, suitable number for the
second looselcaf tobacco market in the
world.

For the past several weeks there
has been a great deal of talk about a
new redrying plant, and possibly two,
to be built in this city during the COM
ing summer and fall. This rumor was
well founded and there is but very
little doubt now but that such a
plant will be erected in Maysville.
Mr.. j. c. Rains, secretary-treasurer
of the Maysville Tobacco Association,
recently wrote to the r. j. Reynolds
Tobacco Company at their headquar-
ters in Winston-Salem, North Caro-
lima, asking if that company would
erect a redrying plant in this city dur
ing the coming summer ana iall and
place third set of buyers on the mar
ket next year in order to facilitate
the handling of the immense amount of
tobacco sold here. A reply from this
company was received on Wednesday
of this week.
In the reply to the letter of Mr.
Rains the company states that plans
for the erection of redrying plant in
Maysvile are almost complete and
they hope to build and equip the plant
during the coming summer and fall
1t is intimated in the letter that should
the plant be erected, third set Of
buyers would be placed on the mar
ket. They state that they are willing
and anxious to do all in their power
to facilitate the handling, in busi-
ness like way, of all the tobacco that
would naturally come to the Maysville
market.

quarters on Sutton Street
Yesterday Afternoon.

The most interesting meeting of
the Mason County Woman's Club,
presided over by Mrs. George Long
necker, was held in the club room on
Sutton street yesterday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock. Business of previous
was turned over to the chair
man of the Sanitation department of
the Club, Madame Stanley Reed.
Mrs. Abner Hord opened the dis
cussion in most admirable talk. She
was speaking particularly about bugs
and germs. However, because of her
wisdom and experience, she eschewed
that side by enlarging upon health
and light and air.
The chairman of the Board of
Health, Mr.. Frank Clarke, spoke very
forcefully and in plain words pre-
sented his experiences in three years
of service on the Board of Health and
explained why so little had been ac-
complished during that time and how
much could be done.

conservation and economy and thrift
and cited many cases to substantiate
his position. Then Mrs. George T..
Hunter in very witty, self-faying
and highly interesting manner gave
some facts which were both amusing
and uncontrovertible.
The balance Of the afternoon was
open to general discussions of the
various subjects brought up, ques-
tions asked and answered, and alto
gether It was an afternoon of great
profit and pleasure. Just before ad-
journment, committee of citizens,
was appointed to solicit vacant ground
on which to plant gardens and thus
not only to carry out the earthwide
Idea OF every fellow a garden" but
also to arouse municipal pride In our
citizenship for thrift and economy. II
the admirable talks heard yesterday
afternoon were TO be executed even
half, then Maysville will this summer
be cleaner and more beautiful than
ever In her life.

Infant Mortality
Related to Wages

The chance OF life OF baby grows
appalIingly less as the fathers earn
ings grow smaller. This Is shown
in the results Of the Investigations of

In its fifth annual report
Tho bureaus studies Of infant
mortality were made among 1900
babies in eight American cities
Johnsfown, Pa, Montclafr. N. j.,
Manchester. n. H., Brockton, Mass,
Saginaw, Mich, New Bedford. Mass,
Waterbury, Conn, and Akron, Ohio.
One-fourth or all the fathers earned
less than $3.50 a year. In these
families every sixth baby died. Only
about one-eighth Of the fathers earn
ed 81 $50 or more. OF their babies
only one In sixteen died. The rise
OF prices and the DISCRIMINATION os

war accentuate the importance OF
this persistent relation Of income to
infant mortality.
