IN VS.. S. drive
REACHES SS2,24O
Total Sales Of War Savings Stamps
During Campaign Just Closed in
Mason County Announced as
$l54,I4O-All Precincts
Are Reported.

Mason county has again gone over
the top with colors flying high.
County Chairman w. II. Rees, in
charge of the War Savings Stamp
campaign in this county yesterday af-
ternoon announced that the total val
ue of all stamps purchased by the
people of Mason county in the drive
Just ended was $454,440
Mason county's apportionment in
this drive was $372,2O0 giving this
county credit for an oversubscription
of SS2,240 which is a record of which
the county can we'll afford to feel
proud and is in keeping with the
spirit shown by the people of this
county during all of the war cam
paigns since our nation drew swords
with Germany.
The total represents the accom-
plishments of a splendid organization
headed by County Attorney Rees who
during all of the campaign has de-
voted much of his time and his talent
to the successful prosecution of the
campaign. He is praising the splen-
did cooperation he received from the
precinct workers and the figures in
some of the precincts show that the
local organization was busy from be-
ginning to end.
No county in the state has made
better showing in its Limit Club"
whose every member is the owner of
a thousand dollars worth Of the
stamps. all that they are allowed to
own. The membership is large and
contains the most of our leading citi-
zens.
While this report made out yester-
day includes all of the subscriptions
secured during the campaign just
closed, it is pointed out that it does
not include all of the War Savings or
Thrift Stamps owned in Mason coun-
ty for before the campaign was open
ed here there had been many stamps
sold here and even since the cam.
paign has closed many have puf-
chased and will continue to purchase
literally.
The City of Maysville made up Of
six precincts, of course, shows the
largest purchase of stamps with S112,-
445 worth of them credited to her
while Mayslick, made up of two pre-
cincts, ranks second with $66,500
worth of the stamps purchased. For
her size Washington precinct, so rich
in history and splendid citizens, has
made a very wonderful record with
$4,000 worth of the stamps sold
there. While Plumville is last in the
table with $4,000 worth of the stamps
sold, the people of that precinct are
to be heartily congratulated for this
is wonderful record for this little
precinct to make.
The official sales by precincts and
the official total as announced from
Chairman Rees' office follow:

It Is related that when Stephen Col Ilns Foster was composing "The Old Folks at Home" he was at a loss for he name of q river which would be melodious and also fit the rhythm of the song.
 A brother suggested "Pedee"-"Way down upon the Pedee river"

 Various other names were tried, only to be rejected by the fastidious author.
 At length a gazetteer was obtained and Foster looked through long lists of names until be reached Suwanee or Swanee, as 1t is usually written.

The Development Of the Government
Of France.
Paper Which Was Read by Miss Larsen One Of th<
Teachers in the Askov Public Schools at
Recent Meeting Of the Young
PEOPLES Society in Askov

The separate history Of France
may be regarded as beginning
with the partition Of Verdun.
The land Of the eastern and west
ern Franks were separated. The
former became modern Germany,
the latter France. and each from
this time forward had it's own
national existance.
The first Capetian king diff
fered from his vassal counts and
dukes simply in having a more
dignificd title, his power being
scarcely greater than that Of ma
ny Of the lords who paid him
homage, but various circumstan-
ces conspircd and built up the
power Of the kings at the ex-
pense Of the great feudal lords
and of the church.
During the reign Of Philip the
Fair the representations Of the
towns were admitted to the Ma
tional assembly. This council
had hitherto been made up Of
two estates. The mobiles and the
clergy. This transaction is in
French history what the creation
Of the House Of Commons is in
English history.
The direct line Of the Capetian
kings ended with Charles 4th,
who was succeeded by his cou-
sin Philip 9Th. who founded the
house of Volois. England now
claimed the throne of France and
this lead to long wars which
lasted more than 4 hundred
years. Finally under Joan, Of
Arc the English were defeated

would serve humanity better by

and driven from the country.
At the end Of the war the
French feudal aristocracy was al
most completely ruined, the pow-
er Of the king had grown, and
the national consciousness was
awakened.
The house Of Volois held the
throne until 1850 when the
crown fell to Henry 4th. who be-
came the first house Of Bourbon.
The greatest king Of the house
Of Bourbon was Louis 18th under
whom France became more pow-
erful than ever before. He car
ried on many wars and won much
territory. But under him and
his successors grew up great abu-
ses which men could no longer
bear. The kings the mobiles. and
the clergy had all the power.
They owned over half Of the
land still their property was al
most wholly exempt from taxa
ton while the poor peasants were
heavily taxed.
The conditions Of most of the
peasants could hardly have been
worse. They were forbidden to
fence their fields as the fences
interfered with the lords pro
9ress in the hunt. They were
even prevented from cultivatino
their fields at certain seasons =
this disturbed the nesting par-
tridges. Being kept in ! state IS
poverty, ! failure of their crops
reduced the tenants to ahsolnte
starvation.
