MEASURE OF SUCCESS
IS MEASURE OF SERVICE
President Hecht. OF American lnsti-
tutc OF Banking, Makes In-
tercsting Address.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR BANK MEN
Would Open Educational Advantages
Of Institute Of Banking To Women,
Who, he Says, Have Entered the
Banking Business to Stay.

, That the measure of success should
be the measure of service to tho Amer
lean government in this time OF war.
with W Serve for Il motto. was one
of the principle injunctions given to
the members of the Richmond Chapter
of tho American Institute of Banking
last night at the regular monthly meet
ing at the auditorium Of tho Chamber
of Commerce Building by r.. s. iIccht,
OF New Orleans.
Mr.. Hecht, who is president OF the
American Institute of Banking and
vicc-prcsident OF tho Hibcrnia Bank
and Trust Company. of New Orleans.
besides enJoininG the institute members
Of Richmond to be patriotic. explained
hat the American Institute of Bank
ing is doing. lie mentioned its origin
seventeen years ago, and stated that
now 1t had "a membership of 32.oOe.
He said that banking was moro
ana more becoming Il profession. and
that the field was better now Oh ac-
count of the hole the draft and volun-
tary cnlistIncnts had made in the ranks
Of the banking men of this country
than ever before. Ills conclusion was
that clerks should not be dull and
shiftlcss. satisfied with life: but that
they should better and enlarge their
field each day.
OPPORTUNITY MUST NOW
BE T. HALF WAY
His advice to the members of tho
local chapter was to do right their
routine work. but not TO stop with that.
Opportunity has quit Knocking at mems
doors, but must be met half way. he
said. He laid special emphasis upon
the notion tina; success lies at the top
of the hill, which could be reached only
by hard work. efficiency and prepared
ness. He especially emphasized the i'm
p~ortancc of studying the principles OF
banking.
The benefit of membership in tho in
st!tGte, he asserted, is linitless. saying
that no ambitious young banking man
would think Of staying out of the as
ISOLATION. His speech indicated that he
regarded tho educational advantages OF
the organization AS its best feature.
The institute gives banking courses, to
which he said the. women should be
admitted. since they were now per,na-
nentlE in the banks. He did not. how
ever. recommend membership to women.
Modern bankers. he said. allowed en-
ployecs more latitude than they form
crly did. and that this offered then, OBJ
Dortunity to show their ability. Initia-
tive. which he defined as doing the
right thing at the right time. and
executive ability. which must in all
cases be demonstrated. nc set up as tho
two essential requisites of success. In
cG'sinS. he pointed out the benefit that
men with such qualities could be to the
government in winning the war. which
was to result in making this nation
the commercial leader OF the world.

Big Waters

River Men-Marsh of Cincinnati
Predicts q 65 Foot State.

The rains of Sunday certainly put
the scare in the large number of
Maysvillians who passed through the
1913 flood and many of them are anx-
iously watching the state of the wealth
ar to determine whether or not cold
wave is coming. According to a dis
patch the weather for today will be
colder and for Tuesday fair and colder
still. That certainly sounds good and
all can testify to the fact that the
weather man is right In his prognos-
tications for today.
A total of 1.29 inches of rain fell
yesterday, which in addition to the
snow made all of the creeks and
branches run wild for several hours.
Weather forecaster Marsh of Cincin-
natl has predicted a 65 foot stage of
the river within the next two weeks,
but If this prediction comes as close
to the mark as 1t did recently the
stage of the river will be A feet.
The river at this point is 23.5 this
morning and rising repidly. A rise of
. feet was recorded during the night
but local rivermen say that the river
Will not go over SIS feet This will

tween the East End and lower section
OF the city. The cold wave will have
the tendency to check the rise,

GIRLS WIN; BOYS LOSE

In the basketball games at Augusta
on Friday night the girls team of the
Maysville High School defeated the
Augusta five by the score of 26 to 0.
The local boys were defeated, 27 to
20. The girls game was merely a
walkaway for the Maysville team.
This is the second game the girls
have won, both from Augusta and
both have been very decisive.
The boys were not so fortunate
however. The second team Of the High
School went down. They led the Au-
gusta team until about the middle OF
the second half, when their oppon-
ents began to throw baskets. The
final score was q to 20.
The following were the members
of the teams going:
Misses Elsie Heller, Corinna Slye
Aileen Berry, Edna Stevens, Margaret
Smith, Frances Thomas, Frances

A GREAT NEED

Would Be Great Thing
For This City and
County.

For some several years there has
been a growing sentiment in this city
and county to hold genuine old
country fair in Maysville during the
early part of the fall Such fair as
was held many years ago and many of
the residents of the city we'll remem-
ber the popularity of the old Maysville
Fair which annually drew thousands
of people to this city.
Maysville is the key to the Blue
grass region of Kentucky. Being it.
self on the outskirts of this region, 1t
is the natural exit for the products of
that wonderful region of Central Ken
lucky. Situated in one Of the most
fertile counties in the entire state and
adjacent to the best counties in south
ern Ohio bordering it is the place
where all of the products Of the farms
can easily be brought into it. The
largest city for fifty miles around, the
second largest looseleaf tobacco mar
ket on the globe, railroad connection
to all of the cities in the state, all
combine to make Maysville the lead
ing town of its size in the country.
But with all of its splendid location
and many facilities for quick travel,
Maysville does not have a fair, one of
the old fashioned kind, where the
band plays, the horses arch their
necks proudly as they prance through
the arena, the horse races, the floral
hall with its many exhibits of farm
products, the large, dusty, prespiring,
happy crowds, drinking pink lemon
ade and scattering peanut shells. Such
are the glories of country fair and
Maysville is without these
Maysville people certainly love a
fair. This can be seen when one sees
the large crowds that annually attend
the Ripley and Germantown fairs.
Hundreds of Maysville people are
are drawn by the irresistible attrac-
ton. What people cannot get at home
they will get elsewhere.
We would suggest the organization
within the next few weeks of body of
men composed of the leading business
and professional men of this city with
the purpose of promoting fair and
4 getting it for Maysville. We believe
that there are enough men in the city
interested in the movement to start
things going. They should bring a
fair to Maysville, for certainly 1t will
benefit the city in more ways than
one

port and cooperation for the support
of the fair and will boost and help it
