MUCH DISCUSSION
or Re.establishment Of County Court
Day Stock Sales at Fifth Weekly
Meeting Of Chamber Of
Commerce.

The fifth weekly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce was held in
the assembly hall with quite a good
attendance present. Secretary Dodds,
as chairman of the evening called the
meeting to order and stated the pur-
pose Of the meeting. He then intro
duced the speaker Of the evening, Mr..
A. L. Glascock, Director Of County
Affairs.
Mr.. Glascock in his remarks spoke
: ~ successful stock sales that were
former days and expressed
,,pe that they would be revived
=. speaking of the prosperity of those
times he related the fact that on Ma
son County Court days his father
would have no opportunity to go to
lunch for the immense business he
was enjoying. He confessed that he
had sold quite bit of stock on the
Flemingsburg market because the To-
cal market was so uncertain, same
reason that the other Mason county
men sell on the Fleming market. He
criticised the former policy of those
in charge of the stock sale in not
having a permanent place where the
farmers could feel sure they could
dispose of their stock. He expressed
his belief in the fact that the stock
sales market could rise to the same
successful proportion as the present
tobacco market had risen from its
humble beginning.
The Secretary informed those pres
ent that it was the intention of the
committee, If possible, to re-establish
the stock sales on March Court day,
that the committee are expecting to
take several machine loads of boost
ers to Mt. Olivet sales next Monday
and Fleming sales the following Mon
day; they intended to urge the res
taurant keepers to put forth an ex-
ira effort in giving the visitors big
feed on Court day and that they ex-
pect to purchase quite bit of pub
licity for the event.
Mr.. Maurice Kirk stated that there
are from 5000 to 10000 visitors and
that as high as 10000 cattle are sold
in the Mt. Sterling market.
Judge Purnell stated that as COM
mittee of one appointed by the stock
sales committee to visit Mrs. Hunter
in an endeavor to obtain proposition
on her lot at Second and Govern
ment Square, he had had an inter-
view with Mrs. Hunter and she offers
the stock sales committee a PROPOSE
ton Of $3.50 for the use of the lot for
one year. He expressed his belief in
the need Of the re-establishment Of
the stock sales and that he appre-
ciated the benefit the city and county

Financial Crisis Worries Teutons

Financial interests in Germany
are plainly worried at the continued
fall in the rate of Austro- German
exchange in neutral countries, ac-
cording to diplomatic advices here to-
day.
The Austrian crown is being dis
counted at "a per cent of its normal
value in Holland and 81 per cent in
Switzerland, and even the German
bankers demand discount of 49,
per cent. The Germa mark fuctu-
ated on the Geneva market from SIS
per cent in December, 1914, to 46.s
per cent in July, 1918; from S.4 tc
42.2 per cent in Holland, and from
1.6 to 81 per cent in Denmark.
The Neue Freie Presse Is quoted
as demanding the immediate sus-
pension Of all new bank notes OF
papers currency. Substitution OF al
foreign credits by war loans and bank
notes is declared to be precipitatin9

GERMANS FEAR AUSTRALIANS
Reason May Be Gathered From De.
scriptions Of Deeds Done by
Daring Soldiers.

London, Aug. 2O.-The Germans
have a wholesome dread of the Aus
tralans. The reason for this may be
gathered from the descriptions of the
deeds for which four Australian SOL
diers have been awarded Victoria
Crosses.
One of these men, Corporal Walter
Brown, rushed on his own initiative q
strong enemy post from which there
was persistent firing. He knocked
down one German with his fist and
brought back an officer and eleven
others as prisoners. !:
Another, CORPORAL Philip Davey,
while his platoon was consolidating,
moved forward alone in face of fierce
point-blank fire from machine gun
put half the crew out of action with:
hand grenades, returned for more, at.
tackled the gun again and killed. the
REINFORCED crew. He then used the
gun against a severe. counter-attack,
during which he was wounded.
Another brave deed was that of
Driver Henry Dalzeel, who dashed at
i machine gun and with his revolver
killed or captured the entire crew, also
capturing the gun. Although badly
wounded in the hand, he returned and
served his gun until wounded in the
head.
The German distaste for cold steel
can be explained by such deeds as that
of Lance Corporal Leslie Ford, who,
when battalion was delayed by I'M
cut wire and enemy machine guns.
inflicted heavy casualties, threw bombs
among the crew, jumped into the
trench and charged with his bayonet,
killing ten of the enemy and taking
six prisoners unaided.
