MONDAY LUNCHEON
Given by Chamber Of Commerce to
Auto Bus Drivers at Elks' Club
Room Yesterday Was u Most
Pleasing Affair.

The noon-day luncheon at the Elks'
Club Room yesterday given by the
Maysville Chamber of Commerce to
the auto bus drivers between this city
and points within radius Of twenty
miles was very pleasant affair and
did much to bring the business men
OF this city into closer relation with
those who carry merchandise to, and
from our neighboring towns and vii
lagos. 1t Is estimated that these auto
trucks daily carry between forty and
fifty tons Of merchandise away from
Maysvllle, and likewise bring back a
large amount Of the products Of the
farms.
The luncheon was Q strictly infor-
NAL affair, Just the kind to make ev-
erybody feel that 1t was easy to gel
acquainted, and 1t did much to make
both the business men and the truck
drivers feel that for the common goot
Of all the fullest cooperation should
be given.
! Short talks were given by Presiden
Horace Cochran and Secretary Doddl
Of the Chamber of Commerce, as wei
as by quite few others. Mr.. W
Holton Key assured those presen
that as soon as the commission form
Of government went into effect tn,
people Of the county would have bet
ter roads than for some time past an,
that the money spent on roads woul,
be strictly accounted for.
| The luncheon was most WHOLESOME
and was thoroughly enjoyed by all
1t was served by Chef Henry Field
and assistants in their choicest style
After the lunch was over cigars wer
passed around.
The Chamber of Commerce is to b
commended on the way the luncheo
was arranged and everyone presen
felt that 1t did much to promote tn
business interests of the city.

The prevailing high prices have
increased the cost of doing business
and cut down the margin of profit
on groceries. 1t is therefore ne
cessary, if we continue to sell at
reasonable prices that we change
our system in such a way as to
cut down expenses to the lowest
possible level.
After carefully con sidering sew
eral different plans, we are con-
WINGED that there is only one way
to sell groceries at reasonable
prices and that is to sell for Cash
and pay cash. In taking this step
we expect our business
to increase rather than decrease
because we will be in better shape
to take care of your trade.

Could You Blame Him?

Policeman Casey had ordered a
pair of shoes at Rosenberg's store and
was about to try one of them on when
the clerk reached for it and deity
sprinkled some French chalk in it to
ease the forthcoming strain. When
he handed it back the patrolman
threw it on the floor, pulled on his
own shoe and started out.
The proprietor had noted the scene.
whats the matter, Mr.. Casey2" he
painted as he caught up with him.
"Was the clerk sassy or anything?"
For moment Casey glared at him
in almost speechless anger then OBJ
served with icy dignity: eff l can't
come into place and thry on pail
of shoes widout havin' chloride av lime
put in them beforehand, I'll thrade

man, Wash, show that there is al
most no difference between Leghorns,
R. l. Reds, Orpingtons, Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes as to their
winter laying qualities. Up to Feb.
18th the record for the greatest num-
Der of eggs laid by single hen was
won by White Leghorn, while the
record for the largest number of eggs
by single pen of hens goes to the R.
l. Reds, with the other breeds only by
an egg, or two, as seconds.
Where hens are exposed to strong
winds, the R. l. Reds, owing to their
thick coat Of feathers, would seem to
stand the rough winds best, but aside
from that there seems little or no
difference. One important factor
should, however, be mentioned here.
1t is important that, whatever breed
is kept, there should be no mixture.
If small breeds and largo breeds are
kept together, it is impossible to feed
in such a manner as to obtain best re-
suits. Either the smaller breed will
receive too great an amount of feed, OF
the larger kind will receive an in.
sufficient amount. the same as if a
pony and draft horse were to be fed
equal amounts
