Brotherhoods to Actively
Oppose Adamson Eight
Hour LGlU at Hearings

Cleveland. Jan. II. - Representa-
tive Adamson's absolute eight hour
day bill will be actively opposed by the
four brotherhoods of railroad en-
ployes, it is announced. President
William G. Lee, of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, and Warren S.
Stone, grand chief engineer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
telegraphed Adamson that they would
appear before the committee Friday
to lodge their protest
Grand Chief Stone declared that the
law did not meet the requirements of
the trainmen in any respect
"It contains provision for compul-
sorry arbitration and prohibits q man
from leaving his job without 80 days
notice, all of which is opposed by our
men," he said in a statement issued
last night. "It also provides for pro-
rata pay for overtime and we now get
better than that on many systems.
Even IL the law were divested of these
odious sections the law would not be
acceptable because everybody knows
that an absolute eight-hours is imprac-
ticable"

SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
TO any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that a quarter Of an ounce of freezone
will cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus.
You are further warned that cut
ing at corn is suicidal habit.

MAYsv|LLE'S Big FAIR
Came To a Close Saturday Night Al.
ter Three Big Days Of Fun and
FrOlic - VIII Probably Be
Held In Home Warehouse
Next Year.

After three days Of festivity and
good cheer, Maysville's second Corn
and Tobacco Fair has passed into his
tory, leaving hundreds Of Maysville
and Mason county people more than
pleased and boosting for the fair next
year.
There was not dull moment from
the opening Of the fair on Thursday
morning until its close late Saturday
night. 1t was impossible to get the
exact number Of paid admissions to
the fair this morning but 1t is certain
that the number exceeded last year,
when over 5000 paid to see the fair
and about 1900 were In attendance.
The booths this year were all most
attractive and when one entered the
door the impression was the Fairy
land had been brought to our city, so
well had the artists done their work.
The booths, the exhibits. the vaude-
vile features, the band, the corona
ton of the King and Queen of the
Carnival, the good cheer that was ev-
erywhere - all went toward making
the fair the success that 1t was.
All honor is due to Secretary Carl
Dodds Of the Chamber of Commerce,
who seemed to be everywhere at one
time to see that everything went
right, and to his able assistants, the
heads of the various committees, who
worked untiringly for the success Of
the fair.
Before the fair closed this year
plans were already being made to
make next years festival bigger and
better. It is thought that 1t will be
necessary to hold the fair next year
In a bigger building, possibly the
Home Warehouse.
The Corn and Tobacco Fair is now
the big event Of Maysville and sur
rounding counties, so let us all get
busy RIGHT NOW and boost for next
year.
