TOBACCO STEmMERy
TO De Started Here by the American
Tobacco Company at Its Large
Warehouse In the East End
VIII Prvide Labor
For Many.

The American Tobacco Company,
largest purchasers Of loose leaf to-
bacco on the Maysvllle market, has
decided to convert its large ware
rooms In the East End into stem
merry, owing to the fact that this
company now has more tobacco than
can be handled by its stemmeries at
other places.
The plant will give employment to
everyone who wants 1t and should It
be found that sufficient labor can be
secured here a large stemmery will
be permanently established which
will give employment to hundreds of
people each summer.
II the stemmery proves to be what
It should 1t will only be few years
until factory will follow, which
means that several thousand people
would have employment in Maysville
the year round.
Maysville has for the past several
years been one of the leading tobacco
markets of the state and from the
present outlook the next few years
will also see it as one Of the big to-
bacco manufacturing cities Of the
South.
Mr.. M. M. Gary, who is in charge
of the plant here, says that the pros
poets are very bright for the con.
tinued advancement of the tobacco in.
dustry here.
Maysville has long needed more
factories and with splendid transpor'
tation facilities, both by rail ant
water, it should be the logical place
for the tobacco business to develop t
the fullest extent.

it. The board is composed of men Of
pretty fair intelligence and it is not
unlikely that if the idea is a good one,
it will be adopted.
Il would suggest this: complaints
of a general, indefinite nature get no
where. To say that the canal system
is not properly run, without suggest
ing just wherein it is not properly run,
means nothing. If anyone has a defin-
tie idea, we would like to know it. If
a man should go to a doctor and say
Il have a PAIN but be unable to tell
where the pain was or anything in re-
gard to it, it would be hard for the
doctor to prescribe for him. If you
have a boil on one part of your person
it will not do you much good TO have
the surgeon apply poultice or a
lance somewhere else. There have
been a good many general, loose state
ments made about the canal system
but what is needed is a specific sug-
gestion for the remedy of specific evils
The board will be glad to have any
such suggestion and will welcome
criticisms along the line indicated, and
hopes, that they will be made, so that
it may cooperate with the people in
improving the system and making il
more efficient"

BAND FAILS TO BRING
SUCCESS TO hurley
Ninth Inning Comedy Staged by East

as Defeat.

In spite of their big band and sup
erabundance of optimism Burley was
unable to counteract that ninth inning
rally for which Twin Falls is famous,
and the fasteners found it necessary
to finish the game at the short end of
seven to six score.
1t an happened in the ninth, and
happened so quickly that there are few
OF the fans present who can give a
coherent account of the whirlwind
finish. At the first Of the final in
ming the score stood six to three in
favor of the visitors and most of
those present thought all was over but
the shouting.
Rehbein led off and reached first
on an error by Burley's first baseman.
Walters then tried to knock the UNI
pire clear out of the diamond with a
hot one through the pitchers box and
made first safely. Then with one
down and two on bases Wright hit to
the rightfield who muffed, and both
Rehbein and Walters crossed the plate
while Wright waited on third
Peisker walked and stole second
and Marshall, next up, grounded to
short, and Burnley made a swift ascent

who missed as Wright crossed the
plate, with the tying run. Not salts
fled with making one bobble the Bur
ley catcher tried to stop Marshall at
second by grounding the ball clear
into centerfield, by the time the ball
had Travelled back home, Peisker was
safely in for the winning run.
The game was highly interesting
and exciting throughout and both
teams performed creditably for so
early in the season. Jones, the Burley
pitcher, was an artist and until the
last inning had good support, while
the local players showed great prom
