POULTRY ASSOCIATION
To BE Organized In Mason County
VIII Receive Cooperation Of Gov.
ernment and Progressive Men
Of County.

A movement is afoot to organize a
Mason County Poultry Association.
The intention Of the men In charge
Is to encourage the breeding of fancy
poultry and demonstrate to the out
side world that Mason County can
produce as fine birds as to be found
anywhere.
Already there are quite few breed
.ers Of fancy birds and with the pro-
posed cooperation Of the government
and the progressive men OF Mason
County, 1t will not be long until some
of our larger cities will have to sit up
and take notice.
1t has been suggested, by those in
position to know, that Mason County
Is to be taken under the wings OF the
government through its County
Agent, in the near future, in respect
to encouraging the breeding of fine
stock and poultry.
The local men also feel the need of
a like organization in order that the
desired success be had at the poultry
exhibition at the coming Corn and To-
bacco Fair. They want all fanciers
and prospective fanciers to get in touch
with Mr.. George Dodson, H. P. Pur-
nell, or the Secretary of the Chamber
Of Commerce, that desire membership
in the proposed association.
The petition requesting the forma-
tion Of such an association contains
the name Of quite few Of our most
prominent men, but 1t has been
thought wise to delay the call of an
organization meeting until some pub
lie notice has been given, as it is more
than probable that some who are un-
known or have been unthought of
might have been missed.
II you haven't fancy birds but are
interested in them, make it known to
them before mentioned, and we will
assure you that it won't be long until
the neighbors will be remarking
What fine fouls our neighb6rs have.

FIVE MORE MEN
Certified For Service by District
Board, Which Also Recalls Albert
G. Savage, Who Had Been
WrOngfully Certified.

The County Exemption Board yes
terday received telegram from the
District Board at Lexington stating
that Albert G. Savage had been
wrongfully certified for service and
that he should therefore not be In
cluded in the first five per cent to
leave. Mr.. Savage claimed exemp-
tion for being farmer and 1t Is
thought that he will not have to re-
port until later.
The District Board yesterday GER
titled five more men for service and
they will have to answer the call with
In the next few days. The men certi-
fed were:
Harold Hunter Irvine, Washington,
Grover c. Lauderback, Maysville.
James s. Hines, Springdale.
John ]. Ennis, Maysville.
Walter r. Selby, Mayslick.
Because of the fact that Hr. Saw
age will not have to go with the first
five per cent, two more men were or
dered to report at the headquarters
of the Draft Board this afternoon at 4
o'clock. Those to report are John j.
Ennis and Harold Hunter Irvine. II
Is not known as to which Of the young
men will have to 60 but 1t was
thought best to have one to act as an
alternate in case another was unable
to leave.
The County Board was unable tc
act on any claims yesterday, but ex'
pect to begin work this morning.
The following who claimed no ex
emption have been certified to the dis
trict board, as ready for military duty

REV. RUGGLES MAKES GOOD AT
EWING

The Ewing Inquirer says: The
members Of the Ewing M. E. Church
should feel justly proud Of their pas
tor, Rev. ]. F. Ruggles. For the man
ner in which he conducted the fl
nances Of the church during the last
conference year. We learn from good
authority that every member Of the
church were liberal in their subscrip-
tions and that every dollar subscribed
has been paid to the treasurer. The
church including the Ladies' Aid have
received and paid out more than $3.50
during the last conference year for
pastor salary.
Superintendent claim and for bene-
volences and other necessary ex-
penses of the church when taken In
consideration that this church only
has sixty members, some Of which are
children, 1t Is remarkable showing
and the church is to be complimented
on being able to secure the services
of such an efficient pastor and just
before going to press we learn that
Rev. Ruggles has been returned for
another year. Rev. Ruggles is also
pastor of the Forest Avenue M. E.
Church at Maysville.
