Harry J. De Bear, manager of the
New York Maxwell branch. who
launched closed car exhibition of
Chalmers and Maxwell cars at the COM
pany's salesrooms, 1903 Broadway, last
Monday, to run for two weeks, claims
the distinction of having presented the
first automobile show to be held in
the United States since the armistice
was declared, and thereby feels entitled
to the right to term it the "First Vic
tory Automobile Exhibition"
In preparing for the show De Bear
has arranged the salesrooms to depict
fall scene, with autumn leaves strewn
about and chrysanthemums and wild
flowers tastefully arranged.
There are on exhibition all types of
closed bodies on both Chalmers and
Maxwell chassis, including lmousines

limousine landaulets, town cars, town
car landaulets, sedans, touring sedans
and cabriolets. In discussing the re
suits of the first week of the exhibi-
tion De Bear said: at is remarkable
to note how quickly the public re-
sponds to the wonderful good news re-
celved regarding the termination of the
war and how readily they are arrang-
ing to equip themselves with the closed
car, which has for many years been a
real necessity, but which was being
sacrificed this year due to the general

GUY lee MAKING VERY
ENVIABLE REPUTATION
Former Maysyille Boy Drives Wilkes
Brewer n Winner in the Biggest
Stake ut the North Randall
Grand Circuit Meeting
Last Week.

Guy Lee, a former Maysville boy
who lived on East Second street in
the Fifth Ward, is making a wonder
full record on the turf this season as a
driver of the first class and Guys
many local friends and school mates
are more than glad to hear of his
wonderful success behind the fastest
horses in the country.
Last week this former Maysvillc
man driving Wilkes Brewer, of the
Deep Run Farm captured the Plain
Dealer stake at the North Randall
Grand Circuit meeting at Cleveland.
Wilkes Brewer did not win in straight
heats but the expert critics who saw
the race said that the success of the
chestnut horse was due in no small
degree to the perfect driving of Lee.
At the close of this race Lee signed
contract for next season with the
Pastime stable, his contract with the
Deep Run Farm having expired. II
is intimated that the former Maysvill6
man is now one of the highest paid
drivers on the American turf.

FARMERS WILL MEET
Al LEXINGTON
Important Conference Of Farmers
Who Produce Cattle, Sheep or
Hogs Held at Lexington
Saturday.

A very important conference of
farmers who produce cattle, sheep, or
hogs, is to be held at the College of
Agriculture at Lexington on Satur-
day, August 18th, at the call of Dean
Thomas p. Cooper, for the purpose
of discussing matters pertaining to
production under war conditions.
Every farmer in Kentucky is inter
ested just now in the matter of how
many hogs and steers to feed this fall
and winter, what his patriotic duty is
in this matter and what profits he
may expect.
The purpose of this organization is
to make a study of the producers
problems and to aid the Administra-
ton in formulating such regulations
as will be just and fair to both pro-
ducers and consumers.
Every farmer and stockman in Ken
lucky is invited and urged to be pres
ent. The meeting will be called at II
o'clock at the University Chapel. If
the weather is fair the meeting will
be held on the lawn at the Expert
ment Station Farm.
Mr.. e. Frank Boyd, Mason County
Agent and several of our prominent
farmers are planning to attend.

POULTRY AT
FAIR WILL Be
CARED FOR
Arrangements Being Made to Have
Expert Poultry Man In Charge Of
Fowls at the Big Fair.

The Germantown Fair is to have
one of the leading Poultry shows in
this section. The Fair Company Is
offering a prize for different classes
of all varieties of poul try. This is
a big step for them but they have en-
deavored to take care Of everyone, as
they have always been noted and
there is no doubt that this year they
will have the best exhibit of poultry
they have ever had.
The members of the Mason County
Poultry Association are getting their
birds ready for the show and at their
next meeting q location at which all
poultry may be left in order that the
truck may load all at one time, will
be chosen.
The name of the attendant who is
to care for the poultry both night and
day has been suggested and he is very
highly recommended. The directors
will more than likely secure his SER
vice.
The fact that this attendant will be
provided will cause quite few to
show their prize birds who otherwise
would not have done so. He will have
full charge and feed and water the
fiwls twice daily. The feed will be
provided by the exhibitors as nearly
everyone feeds their birds differently
and as this was suggested by several
of the breeders it will be the rule.
Those desiring to send their birds
to the Fair on the truck with the
fowls of the members of the Mason
County Poultry Association will mott
fly Judge H. P. Purnell or Mr.. Charles
Conrad as soon as possible.

which will add another star to the

GROCERY EXPERT WILL
SPEAK THIS AFTERNOON
County Food Administrator Advises
All Food Dealers in the County 10
Hear Expert Who Has Very
Interesting and Helpful
Message For Dealers.

County Food Administrator W. d.
Cochran has issued an appeal to all
of the food dealers in Mason county
to hear Mr.. A, Bogue, Of the Kentucky
State Grocers' Association and the
National Retail Grocers Association,
who so pleased the grocers who heard
him last week, that he is brought
back to Maysville today that his mes
sage might be heard by those who did
not have the opportunity last week.
The majority of the country dealers
come to Maysville on Monday for the
purpose of replenishing their stock
and the Maysville retailers always
have a sort of dull day on Monday so
that this date was chosen to give ev-
cry person the opportunity of hearing
this wonderful message.
Mr.. Bogue will bring to all of the
dealers a confidential message from
the Food Administration which every
dealer in Mason county should hear
and It is to be hoped that none will
lose this opportunity of hearing the
food situation in the country in gem
eral discussed by man who is in a
position to know the inside facts and
will give them at this meeting.
Mr.. Bogue carries with him the en-
dorsement of State Food Administra-
tor Sackett and is connected with an
organization with which National
Food Administrator Hoover has been
closely allied since the war began.

RESTRICTIONS ON
USE OF BEEF
ARE REMOVED
Light Weight Beef Is Being Rushed to
the Market and all Restrictions
Are Lifted by Sackett.

State Food Administrator Sackett
Saturday issued the following bulle-
tin to all County Food Administra-
tors.
Owing to the extreme drought in
the Southwest, and in other parts Of
the country, endangering herds Of
beef cattle, producers are rushing
light weight beef to the market This
is creating an unexpected surplus of
light cuts.
All heavy beef for the present is
needed for war export.
The Food Administrator, therefore,
requests retail meat markets to han
die cattle which dress not over AIS
points, and urges public eating and
the public in general, to create de-
mand for light weight cuts.
Therefore, in order to absorb the
light weight cuts of beef on the above
basis, the Food Administration, Begin
ming August 10th issues following
rules:
l. The restrictions upon the serv-
ing of beef in public eating places, are
discontinued and the rule that beef
can only be served at one meal each
day is cancelled, and it is permitted
to be served at any time and all
meals, if cut from cattle which dress
not over AIS pounds.
2. The Food Administration de-
sires to release the householder from
the voluntary suggestion that they use
not more than ~ pounds per week
per person of bone beef, or IA pounds
of clear beef, permitting to those who
have periodically confined their pur-
chases to this amount, a wider use of
light dressed beef.
The above policy is suggested in
order to take care of the excess OF
light cattle being rushed to market as
above described, but it not intended to
do away with the general policy OF
conservation of all meat, which is
still encouraged as a measure to safe
guard the future supplies of the coun-
try.
