BELGIANS IN need
OF MANY GARMENTS
FOR THE WINTER
Settlement Club Hopes to Be Able to
Gather Hundreds Of Garments In
Maysvllle and Mason County
For the Suffering
Belglans.

The members of the Maysville Set
Element Club which has undertaken
the collection in Maysville and Mason
county of garments for the Belgian
sufferers are very much encouraged
at the way the people of this section
have expressed themselves upon the
announcement that the Settlement
Club would act as agents for the suf-
fering Belgians in this community.
The young ladies are planning an
extensive campaign touching every
corner of the City of Maysville. This
campaign will probably be made We'd
nesday but deflite announcement will
be made in plenty of time. They are
now asking that all of the good peo-
ple of Maysville and Mason county
ransack their premises to find any old
discarded clothing that may be of SER
vice to the sufferers in the country so
desolated by the iron fist of Germany.
The Lake Division of the American
Red Cross is asked to raise about 400
tons of clothing to be shipped to Bel
GUM before the winter is upon us
and NIhysvlle and Mason county
wants to do its full part toward rails
ing this large contribution. The young
ladies of the Settlement Club have
taken the entire load from the shout
ders of the Mason County Chapter of
the American Red Cross which now
has many duties developing upon it
and they expect to do the Job thor
oughly.
They urge that every one in Mays
vile begin right now to select out
what clothing they can donate to the
Belgians and these articles will be
called for in the near future full an
nouncement being made in plenty OF

STYLE week OPENS
IN FULL BLAST IN
BUSINESS SECTION
Maysvllle's Annual Fall Style Show
ing Opens Today With the Stores
and Shops Filled With the
Latest in Their Var
iOus Lines.

Maysvilles annual Style Week
opened this morning with most all Of
the business houses in Maysville
showing their new fall lines and with
much interest shown in the success of
the endeavor which was started just
one year ago and which at that time
proved a very successful venture for
those who entered into it heartily and
tried to get much out of it.
The visitors to Maysville this week
will find that the Maysville merchants
are among the most progressive in
the state and by far the most progress
sive in this section of the state. In
no city anything like the size of Mays
vile will be found the splendid show
ings of merchandise that were uncov-
cred for the inspection of the public
this morning. In no city anything
like the size of Maysville will the
shoppers find better lot of business
men or more attractive prices on all
sorts of goods.
During Style Week the majority of
the business men are Offering special
bargains in their various lines. This
is something unusual for the opening
of the season but the business men Of
Maysville can always be counted OIL
doing the unusual thing and for this
reason Maysville's trade area is year
ly growing out until now our business
interests attract people not only from
our own county and from the adjoin-
ing counties but people have learned
of Maysville's great business houses
and they are coming to Maysvillo
from a distance to do their shopping.
During Style Week it is planned to
have Market and Second streets a
great white way and by the kindness
of the Maysville Gas Company large
search lights will be erected to throw
| light on these streets in addition tC
the usual street lights and the lights
from the shop windows. During the
first three nights of the week, how
ever, there will be no lights in thl
business district as these nights will
be observed as "Lightless Nights" NJ
business men in the country have beer
more loyal to the government in al
of its conservation program than the
business men of Maysville and the!
will lend their hearty cooperation
this week during the Eighties
nights" On the last three nights O.
the week, however, the lights will b.
burning brightly and it is eXpecte,
the business district will be well fill
ed with people.

Honor Roll
The teachers were unanimous in
their belief that the Honor Roll
should be continued, but continued on
an absolute basis without any eXcep-
ton that the child meet the four fol-
lowing conditions, so, parents. please
observe carefully these four require
ments and if your child has not made
the four, do not embarrass the teach
err or myself by asking for special
privileges:
l. Department A or A. (at least
9O%.)
2. Examination made in monthly
test A or A (at least 90fSD
3. Must not have been tardy dur
| ing the entire month.
4. Must have been in school the en-
tire month.
The last condition is the one that
has been giving us considerable trou-
BILE, because occasionally a child is
unavoidably detained at home that
meets all the other requirements. The
parents then wonder why the child
could not be put on the Honor Roll
and especially if the child's absence
is caused by sickness. However
when one child is excused on the ac-
count of sickness, for four hours fol
instance, some other parents wonder
why their child who has been sick
six hours is not given the same OPP
portunity, and if that is the case, the
next step is why the child is kept of
the Honor Roll who has been sick one
day, two days, etc.
There are persons who watch for
the Honor Roll every month more
closely, perhaps, than any other news
in the paper, and for it to be truly
an Honor Roll it must be an honor
that is not easily acquired else II
loses its distinction. We want tC
make the requirements difficult. Our
chief worry is to make the require
ments absolutely just, putting it on
exactly the same basis to every child
No doubt there will be scores of chill
dren who have made the Honor Roll
requirements in one or more points
but yet, not in the entire four and
there may be pupils left off the Hon
or Roll who are better students than
some whose names are found on 1t
However that is no argument against
the justice of the standards for Honor
Roll mention.

if she wasn't pretty and couldn't act
she wouldn't have been chosen. Hut
if it wasn't for the dimples, some

cast for the role.
When cast as modiste's assistant in

been distressing, with the vampire

RED CROSS OFFICERS
OPPOSE CANTEEN
FOR c. & 0. DEPOT
Executive Committee Of the Mason
County Red Cross Chapter Passes
Resolutions Against Estab-
llshment Of Canteen Here.

Some time ago the young ladies
who have been active in Red Cross
work here and who have been meet
ing troop trains at the local station
proposed the establishment of Red
Cross Good Cheer Canteen at the local
C. & o. station. The proposition seem
ed to meet with the support of the
people and a neat sum was raised for
its establishment.
The establishment of such a can
teen at this point, however, does not
seem to meet with the approval of the
officials of the Mason County Red
Cross Chapter, who have adopted the
following resolutions by unanimous
vote:
WHEREAS: 1t is not the policy or
practice of the American Red Cross to
organize railway canteen service in
the smaller towns throughout the
country where troop trains do not
stop more than a few minutes; but,
only at railway divisional points of
Importance where troop trains stop
for definite time: and,
WHEREAS: Ample canteen SER
vice has been established and is be-
ing satisfactorily operated at the I'M
portant Railway Divisional Points
within the unit of which Maysville is
a part and the needs and wants of all
troops are being fully provided for in
this unit; and,
WHEREAS: To establish canteen
service here would be beyond the pol
icy of the Red Cross Organization, and
in effect a duplication of work and add
greatly to the expense of the local
chapter; and,
WHEREAS: If this work should be
undertaken it must be performed on
strictly military basis, thereby re-
curing the attention of from ten to
fifteen of our most competent ladies
whose services are greatly needed In
other kinds of important work; and,
WHEREAS: The war work ant
government calls for money that the
people of Mason county will be com
PEELED to meet within the next twelve
months will probably amount to two
million dollars or more; and,
WHEREAS: The Mason Count!
Chapter has constantly held itsef
ready to respond to all calls made upol
it by troop train commanders, and ha
each time promptly met their re
quests. and intends to continue thi
policy; therefore,
BE 1T RESOLVED: That it is tn
unanimous opinion of this COMMITTEE
that this community is fully meeting
its war obligations and that there i
no present necessity for the establish
ment of railway canteen service a
Maysville.

CONFEDERATE VETERAN
FALLS UNDER TRAIN
Aged Virginian on Way to Confederate
Reunion Misses Step As He Jumps
Upon Train ut Local Station
and Has Narrow Escape.

Mr.. James Hilburn, of East Vir-
glnia, had a very narrow escape from
death or serious injury yesterday
morning at the local c. G. o. station
when West bound c. & o. train Num-
Der started to pull out of this sta
ton.
Mr.. Hilburn was one of a large
party of Virginia veterans on their
way to Tulsa, Okla, where this week
the annual reunion of the Confeder
ate veterans will be held. He with a
number of his friends alighted from
the train at the local depot and talk
ed with those who were standing
there. When the train pulled out Mr..
lIilburn stood talking just little too
long and when he started to catch the
train it was moving entirely too fast
for one who had fought in the Civil
war. The old man caught hold of the
rod at the steps but his feet slipped
and he swung in between two Pullman
coaches. He held on however until
a section man who was standing near
by rushed to him and pulled him out
from between the cars holding him
up to keep him from dragging.
The train was stopped and the old
gentleman put abroad. In swinging
between the coaches his face was
somewhat scratched but except for
that he was not injured
