AN EVERY MEMBER cvANvAss

On last Sunday afternoon at the
Christian Church parsonage in Mays
lick, the budget committee Of the
Christian Churches OF Mason county
met to discuss plans by which this
county could Join with the other coun-
ties OF the State and Union in gem
eral Every-Member Canvass cam
paign in the interest of all the agen-
cies of their communion.
Two of the churches Of the county
gave to all of the missionary and
benevolent agencies of the general
brotherhood last year; other churches
gave to some and three of the
churches gave to nothing except their
own local work. Doubtless these
churches gave to the war activities
even If they did not give to their own
missionary work. 1t is the object of
this budget committee to get every
church to give in addition to its other
gifts, creditable amount to the mis-
sionary activities of this religious
body. During the pas { year, the
churches of Christ contributed over
two million dollars for their regular
missionary work besides an extra two
million raised as a special Emergency
Fund. During this present year, be-
ginning October first, a total of three
million dollars will be needed to do
the work in any adequate way. Ma
son county Christian churches gave
over two thousand dollars through
regular gifts and thirty-flve hundred
to the special Emergency Fund. This
county Is asked for four thousand
through the regular gifts to missions
this year. The committee in its meet
ing apportioned to the different
churches the amounts as follows:
Maysville, $1,000; Mayslick, $1,000; Mill
Creek, $500; Beasley Creek, $500;
Dover, $3.50; Washington and Orange
burg, 5000; Minerva, $3.50; Bethany
and Lawrence Creek each $50; and
the two Negro churches so each.
These amounts cover all that is raised
from the church, Sunday school, Wo
mems Missionary societies or individ-
ual gifts. In connection with this ap-
peal by individual canvass for the
missionary offerings, an effort is to
be made to make the same canvass
take care Of the local expenses of the
church. Throughout the United States
churches are taking this canvass this
next week, But because of being him
dcred by the ban Mason county will
take the every member canvass next
month.

WOMEN,S CLUBS
HEARTILY ENDORSE
Big WAR PICTURE
State Chairman Of Civics Of Kentucky
WOmen's Clubs Advise Women to
See "America's Answer.

Mrs. T. M. Russell, president Of the
Mason County Womens Club, has just
received the following letter from Mrs.
Anne L. Gullion, State Chairman of
Civics of the Kentucky Federation of
Women's Clubs, in regard to "Ameri
cas- Answer" the big government War
picture showing at the Washington:
Carrollton, KY, Oct, 20, 1918.
Dear Madam:
The second of the great patriotic
films issued by the Division of Films,
United States Government, Americas
Answer, is now ready for distribution.
Its theme is the amazing manner in
which the United States has arisen to
the task of transporting, equipping
and feeding an army of two million
men. This film, which is a clarion
call to patriotism, brings information
of the utmost Thickness, picturing ev-
cry phase of the life of our boys in
France, in the most intimate and in
spring way. With the exception Of
one brief episode, every foot of the
film was taken in France.
To insure the widest distribution of
this picture very low rental has been
arranged, but the public must demand
the picture and support those thea
tres showing it.
Recognizing the strength of the Wo-
mems Clubs, the Government has
made a special plea to our State Pres
ident Mrs. M. X. Riker, asking that
our clubs get behind the movement
and give it the publicity it deserves.
The matter of placing this offer be-
fore the various clubs of the state has
been put in the hands of the Fedora
ton Committee on Civics. So, on re-
ceipt of this letter, will you at once
ask your local theatres to exhibit this
great picture, Americas Answer" and
then will you give its appearance the
enthusiastic support of your club by
a large attendance. Your theatre man
ager can book the picture through one
of the distributing branches Of the
World Film Corporation.
Here is another opportunity for our
clubs to fall in line with our Govern
ment in teaching patriotism.
Yours very truly,
ANNE L. GULLION,
State Chairman of Civics X. F. w. G,

wiz es of Mason county:

This removal returns sugar to the

Should sugar again become short by
reason of the need Of feeding Europe,

DOG LICENSE TAGS HAVE
ARRIVED

County Clerk James Owens has re-
ceived a large supply of state dog tags.
Every owner Of dog in Mason coun-
ty must pay this state tax which is 81
for the first male and 50 for the first
female. On all other dogs owned per-
sons will have to pay double the orig
inal tax. This law applies to residents
of the city of Maysville as well as
residents of the county making it
rather expensive to own a dog in the
city as the owner will not only have
to pay the state tax but city license
of one dollar.
