favor ESTABLISHMENT OF
GOVERNMENT BARGE Line
Big Appropriation May Be Asked BY
Ohio Valley Improvement
Association.

Manufacturers and wholesale mer-
chants of the, ohio Valley are interest
ed in the annual convention of the
Ohio Valley Improvement Association
that will be held in Louisville in De-
cember and it is expected large del
egation will go from here.
The manufacturers, not alone in the
upper valley but in cities in the lower
Ohio Valley, are in favor of the es-
tablishment of a Government line of
barges similar to the one that is being
installed on the Mississippi River be-
tween st. Louis and New Orleans.
At a recent meeting of the Evans
vile Lumbermens Club resolutions
were passed asking the Ohio Valley
Improvement Association in its meet
ing at Louisville to petition Congress
for an appropriation for the establish
ing of a barge line on the Ohio River.
The plan to build river terminals
there that will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $25O,OOO has the hearty in
dorsement of the manufacturers and
business men of that section

London, November 25 - The Ger

Berlin, publishes the following:
Information has been received that
Admiral Beatty refused to negotiate
with the delegates from the Work
mems and Soldiers council because
they were not representatives of any
recognized government.
Furthermore, we learn that food
supplies of which the United States
had held out prospect will be held
up temporarily in Rotterdam and Cop
enhagen because the American Gov
ernment intended to wait and see
whether Germany is able to give the
assurances demanded by America for
a free constitution and fair distrib-
ution of supplies"

FARMERS TURN
Their ATTENTION TO
STRIPPING TOBACCO
Probable Opening of MaysvilIe Mar
ket on December 10 VIII Be Large
One-Lurge Buyers May Be
Present.

From most every stripping house in
Mason county these days there curls
smoke which indicates that the most
of the farmers are at work getting
their tobacco stripped and ready for
market.
Although stripping is one of the big
gest and most tedious part of handling
the tobacco crop and although there
is big shortage of labor in Mason
county, it is expected that the growers
will get their crop ready in good time
and have it in good shape.
The housing of the crop was expect
ed to show up the shortage of farm la
Dor in this section and it was feared
that the farmers would have trouble
to get the tobacco cut and in the barn
but frost found little of the crop in
the patch. 1t is expected that the
farmers will meet the labor situation
in the same manner with their strip
ping that they met the housing prob
lem.
Every indication is that there will
be quite a bit of tobacco stripped and
ready for the opening on December
10th. The opening sales are always
good ones and the growers are always
anxious to get small load at least on
the opening sales.
Late indications are that tobacco
will not be so high this season as
some had expected it would be during
the spring and summer.

construction.

With the American Army of Occupa-
ton, November 25-American forces
now are across the German frontier.
Signal corps and ambulance corps
units were the first to cross. The
German population is showing them
every consideration. Among the in
stances recorded is that OF column of
German infantry and trucks with
drawing to the side of road to allow
the automobile of an American officer
to pass. The Germans are reported
as whistling and singing happily dur
ing their retirement. Al shortage OF
horses appears to be hindering their
movements somewhat Oxen have been
pressed into service. Among the most
effective work done by the Americans
is the rebuilding of railroad lines. Ten
thousand American soldiers now are
so engaged. The railroad between
Verdun and Metz virtually has been
rebuilt by them. This probably will
be the principal line of communica-
ton for the American army of occu-
patton. The Americans also have
cleared away the last of the German
barriers in front of the Verdun dis
trict. 1t was necessary to dynamite
| some heavily built concrete pillars
across the roads and at frequent in
tervals in the open country.

NOT CERTAIN OPENING
AT THE time SET
Tobacco Situation In This City Not
Cleared Up Yet BY Any Means.

Last week the Maysville Tobacco
Association held a meeting and de-
cided to open the loose leaf market In
Maysville on Tuesday, December 10th.
At that time things were favorable
for an opening on the date set, al
though the big buyers had made no
not have any available buyers on the
hurley market before the first of the
year, but the tobacco interests here
had it given to them that Lexington
would open on December Sd, and they
figured that if that Market would open
on that date they certainly had some
assurance that the buyers would be
on hand. Later, however, Lexington
deferred its opening for one week,
giving it out for the 10th.
Today Mr.. j. c. Rains, in conversa-
ton with big warehouseman at Lex
ington over the long-distance tele-
phone, he said that the only assurance
they had there of buyers was from
the Liggett & Meyers people, and that
they positively had no assurance from
the other big buyers only that they
would not be on that market before
the first of the year.
OF course, no one could expect to-
bacco market to run without buyers,
and if Lexington has no assurances of
buyers, this market will not have any
either and rather than disappoint the
growers it would be far better to de-
fer the opening than to open without
any assurance of the big fellows being
represented at the sales.
Accordingly meeting of the Mays
vile Tobacco Association has been
called for Wednesday night to discuss
| the advisability of opening the Mays
vile market on Tuesday, December
10th, and it is expected that every
member be present at this meeting.

CITY SCHOOLS TO OPEN
ON MONDAY, DECEMBER z
Some Suggestions to Pupils By Prof.
Capllnger That Are Timely.

Unless some grave situation pre-
sents itself, the schools will be OPEN
ed Monday, December End, as the
Board of Health has decided it will.
be entirely safe to begin at that date.
AS we have had such long vaca-
ton, would like to ask that the pu-
pills of all the grades above the Sec
ond review the work that we covered
the five weeks the schools we're in op-
Grafton in the two studies of Lam
guage and Arithmetic. In the High
School this will especially include a
review of the Algebra and Geometry.
Those students beginning the study of
Latin and Spanish shrould review
their vocabulary, declension and con-
jugation in order that there may be
no lost time when we open.
The first week of school we will op-
crate under our regular schedule, be-
ginning the second week, we will very
likely get down to more strenuous la
bors in our efforts to make up this
two months lost time.
I wish to say to parents that 1t is
our intention to cover all of the work
in the fundamentals the same as
usual. We hope to arrange work such
that all pupils that do conscientious
work may pass without any loss of
time. This will require some extra
tributed that pupils will not be asked
to do very much over time work.
1 will have something further in to-
morrow's papers.

COUNTY SCHOOLS
CANNOT MAKE up
ALL Time LOST
Some Of the Time Lost During Epi-
demic win Be Made Up, But
Longer Daily Session or En-
tentiOn Of Term I'm
possible.

There are many serious problems
facing the county school authorities
in the matter of making up time lost
during the influenza epidemic that do
not face the city school authorities.
The County Schools are now not
dismissed until late hour in the af-
ternoon and the addition or more time
would be impossible, as many of the
children live far from the schools and
would be after dark reaching their
homes.
1t has been learned that it will be
practically impossible to extend the
school term for the length of time lost
and Superintendent Turnipseed has
about reached the conclusion that it
will be impossible to make up all of
the lost time.
Superintendent Turnipseed will
soon have a conference with his corps
of teachers, however, and they will be
instructed to get down to an inten-
Sive campaign When SCHOOLS are again
opened and get the heart of the mat
ter before the students in the short
est possible time. Longer lessons
may also be assigned in most of the
schools. This will specially be plan
adopted in the County High Schools,
The plan to cut down on holidays
as adopted by Superintendent Capling-
er of the City Schools, will also be
adopted by Superintendent Turnip-
seed. Time will also be saved on ex-
aminations but it seems almost i'm
possible for plan to be found appli-
cable to the country schools that will
make up this year all of the lost time.
