As aoon as liquidation subeided the
market rallied some 80 to 40 points
although the tone remained extremely
nervous and the bulges met consider
ahle cotton. The covering movement
became very active and excited early
in the noon hour. The market seemed

the stronger technical position was

committee of the federal reserve
board has made IL clear that pending
the appointment by tho president IT
the new comrpittee the work of the
old committee would proceed on tbs
same lines as heretofore. and that APP
plications for the issue of securities
should be addressed to 1t.
During the week just passed tho

Of which s2i,049,00o were disspproved.

that the new issues approved aggre-
gated $23,023!00o New issues for tbs

The increase of this year over last

"PERSHING'S CRUSADERS"
IS A GREAT PICTURE
All Who See Great Patriotic Feature
Today VIII BE Better Americans
For Having Seen II.

"Pershing's Crusaders, the big fca-
ture show at the Gem Theater today
is indeed a rare treat for the people
of Maysville and every one should see
it who can possibly get into the thea
ter.
A special run of the picture was
made by Manager Russell yesterday
afternoon to small audience of
newspaper men and critics and they
were all of the opinion that it was a
great patriotic picture that all should
see.
The picture not only gives one some
idea of what our men are doing cover
there" but it gives one an idea of the
training through which Uncle Sam
puts his men before he is willing to
send them against the Kaiser's forces
and a wonderful insight to the great
preparations our country is making to
back the boys in the trenches and to
furnish them with the best and latest
improved munitions of war fare.
Glimpscs into munition factoVics, ship
yards, environments, prison camps and
even look into the front line
trenches now occupied by our Bud
dies" are given the audience. Some
of the greatest military men of Amer
lea, France, England and Italy are
our men on parade and drill on
French soil are shown.
The picture is worth many times
the price of admission and every one
seeing it will come away a better
American for having seen it.

ANOTHER ROBBERY
ON FOREST avenue
Thieves Entered Home of Frank
Goodwin Thursday Morning or
Wednesday Night-Pair Of
Trousers stolen.

1t developed yesterday that there
was still another robbery in the East
end of the city on Wednesday night or
Thursday morning which was not re-
ported to the police. The residence of
Mr.. Frank Goodwin in Forest avenue
was entered but there was nothing
found missing but pair of Mr.. Good
wins trousers and a perfectly good
belt in them.
1t appears that the same fellows
who attempted robbery at the homes
of Mr.. A. G. Stewart and Mrs. Al
vida Wheeler on Forest avenue,
were those who attempted to rob the
home of Mr. Goodwin for the front
door of this residence was left open
and the rear window through which
the thief entered was also left wide
open.
The local police are continuing
their trail of every possible clue and
although they have been unable to
pick up anything like a good clue,
they are following out everything
they have and hope to be able to make
an arrest in the near future. Some
seem to think that these attempts at
robbery were the work of travellers
passing through Maysville but the
police are of the opinion that it is
done by local talent.
