HOPPER INTEREST
IN AMAZON TOBACCO
WAREHOUSE is SOLD
Messrs. Charles Lloyd and Charles
Burgess Purchase the Interest of
the Late Charles G.. Hopper
in the Amazon Tobacco
Warehouse Company.

A deal of considerable interest on
the local tobacco market was closed
yesterday when Messrs Charles Lloyd
and Charles Burgess purchased the
interest of the late Charles c. Hopper
in the Amazon Tobacco Warehouse
Company, owners of the popular
Amazon loose leaf tobacco ware
house.
Mr.. Frank Goodwin. president of
the concern, retains his interest in
the concern, the deal closed yesterday
having no effect upon his interests.
The concern as now constituted is
one of the best manned concerns on
the Maysville market Mr. Goodwin
has had long experience in the loose
leaf tobacco business and both of his
new partners are also well known in
business and tobacco circles. They
have both had considerable experience
in handling tobacco and the new con-
Germ will be in a splendid condition
at the opening of the coming season
to handle the tobacco Which always
fills the house for most every sale.
Arrangements are being made for a
very busy season this year on the
Maysville loose leaf market Tobacco
will probably be higher than it has
ever been and despite the shortage of
farm labor, it is said there will be a
very large crop. The Amazon is GER
tain to get its full share this season.
The members of the company will
hold meeting in the near future for
the purpose of reorganization and
the selection of new officers.

RED S0X TAKE FIRST
GAME OF WORLDS SERIES
Smallest Crowd in History of Post
Season Contests Witnesses Open
ing of the Championships.

Chicago, September 5-One of the
smallest crowds which ever turned
out for worlds series opening saw
the Boston Red Sox, of the American
league, defeat the Cubs of the Ma
tional league, one to nothing today in
an errorless game.
The battle was between two emf
nent representatives of what the die
tionary calls the family Hyppopota-
nlidae-namely, "Hippo" Vaughn, of
the Cubs, and another Hippo rejoic-
ing in the name of Babe" Ruth.
These two giants fought it out all the
way and although Ruth allowed six
hits to his opponents five the break"
went to the invaders and they were
consequently making confident claims
to the worlds championship tonight.
The effect of the war was every
where apparent, especially in the
temper of the crowd which largely
local, saw the home team drop the
first game without a protest. There
was no cheering during the contest
nor was there anything like the usual
umpire batting.
Todays attendance was 19,247
Rain caused postponement of the first
game scheduled for yesterday. To-
day the downpour had ceased and the
grounds were comparatively dry. The
sun shone fitfully and there was a
stiff chill breeze from the north

WILL Be CALLED
DURING OCTOBER
Provost Marshal General Announces
That Men Between Is and A. Reg
istering Next Thursday win
BE Soon Called.

Washington, September 5-Provost
Marshal General Crowder today said
that the national selective service ma
chinery must speed up operations inn
mediately to make it possible to get
men from the new IS to As registra-
ton on the way to army cantonments
before the end of October.
Outlining changes in methods adopt
ed to that end, General Crowder said
questionnaires would go out to regis
trants before the drawing has been
conducted to determine their order of
call, and that local boards would be
urged to commence classification i'm
mediately. Questions relating to the
order of call and to the time of draw
ing General Crowder set aside in dis
cussing the subject, leaving only the
intimation that these would be an
nounced shortly.
"The necessity of filling the Oc-
! tober acquisitions and in part or in
whole out of the selectives to be OBJ
tained under the new classification"
General Crowder said, after explain
ing that few Glass 1 men from the
August "a registration would be avail
able to fill early October calls, makes
it necessary to look forward to sub
stantial speeding np in the work of
the local boards at that stage of the
operation, and indeed, from the very
| beginning of the task. 1t is imper-
ative that the work of the boards pro-
ceed much faster than year ago. In
every possible way steps will be taken
to make it possible for this speed to
attained"
To accomplish this, General Crowd
er said, local boards are asked to see
! that the return of the cards from
| registration is as prompt as possi-
BILE and thereafter that the process Of
assigning serial numbers to the cards
is fastened, Accomplishment of this
work inside of ten days now is asked,
though in 1917 it took nearly thirty
days. 1t may be possible to hold the
drawing on October ., General Crowd
er explained, but it can not he started
until the lists of serial numbers have
been completed by all boards.
BY January /, the general con-
cluded, it is hoped that the classifl-
cation of the nation will be complet-
ed and the man power mobilization
ready for any eventuality.

Important Advances Made Along Du

With the American Army on the
Aisne Front, September with the
exception of a few machin gun de-
tachments, left to sacrifice themselves
in an effort to cover the retreat the
Germans we're on the north side of the
Aisne tonight.
The American and French troops,
who have followed closely on the
heels of the enemy since the evacua-
tion of the Vesle village began, were
still in contact, harrassing the rear
guard and Fastening the movement of
the whole force.
Long before nightfall the Ameri-
cans had worked their way down into
the lowlands towards the Aisne off
the plateau from which they had been
able to look over the next valley at
the cathedral towers in Laon, not Is
miles away.
1t is at that point where is located
the heart of the present German op-
erations. Laon is a great communica-
tion center and must naturally be de-
Tended with the utmost determination
If the Allied forces are to be prevent
ed from driving back to it the German
lines from west and south.
The retirement of the Germans to
position north of the Aisne is regard
ed as only preliminary to their re-
occupation of their old lines of de-
fense along the Chemin Des Danes.

Mr.. J. s. Strachey. editor Of the
Spectator Uondon), once an advocate
OF the drink traffic, has since the be-
ginning Of the war made prohibition
the policy Of his paper. In n recent
public address he told this story:
"a city, though Its armies were VIC
torious, was In dire straits for food.
Strict search was made to see that
nothing that could be used for food
should be wasted. and 10, n great store
OF barley and sugar was found. And
the general thanked God that they
were saved. There was enough barley
and sugar TO enable them to hold out
till the re-victualllng that was sure
TO come In few months. The bar
ley, mixed with corn, would make ex-
cellent bread and the sugar would
save the children.
"Alas.' said the civil authorities,
all this barley and sugar must be
turned into beer; we dare not touch
it.
"The general, who was a simple SOL
der and did not understand politics,
was angry. This Is town Of sane
people. not lunatic asylum, nobody
can be allowed to turn into beer what
might be made into bread and so save
the people
But II was even so. The city fell
and the conquerors drank the beer !"
Mr.. Strachey hammered his point
home with these words:
"The proper thing to do, the straight
thing to do. the only honorable thing
to do. is to stop the brewers and give
the people bread. With famine facing
the world. the government must stay
the food destroyers on land as well as
on sea. II we are to have victory"

The use of alcohol results in much
