women's war activities, for it marked the open
ing of the very first officers training camp for
women, a camp designed for the instruction
and training of the leaders of the Woman's
Land Army of America. Up to this time there
have been no trained officers or LEADERS" in
this army, but another year will quite
different order of things, for, unless all signs
fall there will be at least thirty-five efficient,
we'll trained women who have taken the inten-
sve eight or ten weeks course at Wellesley,
have won the stripes brassards, or whatever
insignia the directors see fit to bestow upon
them, and are fully equipped to command
company in field or camp.

What Unit Leader"
Must Know


Must Know
In the first place the unit leader" must
select the site and plan and lay out her camp
for in MANY rural districts there is not suth-
cient accommodation for housing the workers
and they are obliged to live in tents She
must understand dietetcs so that the workers
will be given the proper kind of food; she
must know something of the principles of sani-
tation; she must be ready with first aid III
case of an accident; she must be able to do
simple carpentry work; to farm tools and
machinery, and she must have enough general
knowledge of agriculture to deal intelligently
with the farmers who employ the women of
her unit And besides all this she must be
the business manager of the whole enterprise;
she must not only keep the financial records of
the camp, but she receives the wages from the
farmer and settles any disputes which may
arise. Then, last, but by no means least. she
must be sympathetic, broad minded, mother
ly person who will act "guide, philosopher
and friend" to every last Of those women
who constitute her unit.
1t is pretty large order that the training
camp at Wellesley has taken upon itself to
supply but from what one hears of the per-
sonnet of the women who are entering upon
the course it is safe to predict that it's efforts
will be crowned with success. For the board
of directors has been very particular in choos-
ing from the scores of applicants who have
come to them those whom they considered had
the proper "makngs" for the job.

used to buy them little candy every Sat
urday, and it is about all they ever got. But
they have decided that other little girls need
food more than they do candy, SO that goes
into the jars now. But once in a great while
daddy brings home some candy.
In making mullins simple one-egg or spice

The committee in charge of the camp has

Miss Diehl is very enthusiastic about the

that when these women have finished the

the course which these institutions almost
without exception, are arranging for the com.

are DESTROYS of entering the Woman's Land

Is Now Reported rs Being a Pris-
Oner In the Hands Of

Several weeks ago Mr.. H. o. Wood,

MANY ATTENDED
COUNTY STOCK SALES;
MUCH STOCK OFFERED
StOcker Cattle Day Finds Very
Large Number of Country People
In the City and Much Stock
and Many Mules offered
For Sale.

Today is County Court day and re-
gular monthly stock sales day. There
are really more people in the city
than had been expected and there IL
much more stock being offered for
sale at the stock yards than was ex-
pected to be offered today.
Manager Brown, of the Stock Yards,
says this is the best day the Maysvile
stock sales have had since the re-or-
ganization several months ago. Be-
fore 10 o'clock every pen at the yards
was filled with cattle and later many
more arrived and had to be herded in
the corners of the yard.
There were more young mules on
Limestone street than had been seen
in Maysville in many day and there
was also a small lot of sheep. The
usual number of horses were in the
trading ring.
The cattle sold very well and sew
eral of the mules changed hands but
again the need of out-of-town buyers
was plainly seen. The next big thing
to be done is to induce a number of
out-of-town buyers to come here re-
gularly every month
Some of the stock here follows:
Walton Brothers, Fleming county,
40 head.
Joe Larkin, Washington, 20 head.
l.. Hamilton, Sardis, % head.
Tolle & Pollitt, Orangeburg, Is head
Lyons & Walton, 10 head.
Tom Byron, Minerva, 10 head.
Wilbur Hall, Floyd county, 80 head.
A. ]. Hamlin, Tollesboro, 40 head.
Grierson Brothers, Brown county,
Ohio, 30 head.
There were several out-of-town
horse buyers on the market and quite
number of horses changed hands
during the day.

COMMUNITY CHORUS
CONCERT PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE
Maysvllle People More Than Pleased
With the Fine Musical Program
Given Sunday Afternoon BY
Local Organization.

There was a very large audience at
the Washington Theater Sunday af-
ternoon to hear the second public con-
cert of the Community Chorus and ev-
cry one left the house praising the
splendid organization which in so
short time has developed into COM
pany of musicians of which the city
and county can feel proud.
The chorus under the direction of
Carl Dodds rendered their numbers in
first class manner. The soloists,
Mrs. Alfred Peed and Mrs. Carl Dodds,
both sang beautiful religious num-
bers. The male chorus and the fe-
male chorus both received much ap-
plause.
Miss Lula Mcclellan, the pianist,
took the audience by storm. She had
but touched the piano when those in
the audience realized there was a
treat in store. Masters have appear
ed before Maysville audiences but
never has there been a pianist who
has more completely captivated a To-
cal audience than the little lady from
Middletown. "She is a wonder" was
the verdict of many expressed as they
left the building.
Miss Mcclellan is a whistler of no
mean ability as well, and her whist
ling solos were well received.
1t is hoped that in the future the
Community Chorus will give us many
such programs and it is certain they
will have the hearty support Of the
community.

MASON WILL HAVE AN
EXPERT AS COUNTY AGENT
Fiscal Court and Agricultural Board
Decide to Employ Expert to Assist
the Farmers of Mason County
In Solving Their Problems.

There was very interesting meet
ing of the Mason Fiscal Court and the
newly appointed Mason County Agri-
cultural Board at the Court House
Saturday afternoon. This was the first
meeting of the newly appointed agri-
cultural board and they we're inform
ed by the county officials as to some
of their duties in helping the farm
ers of all parts of the county.
AS County Agent E. f. Boyd, Jr., re-
Gently resigned and his term expires
with the first of November, the matter
of employing a successor to him was
taken up and discussed at length. 1t
was finally expressed as the sence of
both the farmers on the board and
the members of the Fiscal Court that
the successor to Mr.. Boyd should be
an expert who had taken special
training for this sort of work.
The county officials will get into
touch with State Agent Morgan and
DR.. Fred Mutchler in the immediate
future to ask them to recommend
some one for the local appointment. 1t
is expected that they will either be in
Maysville or send a man here some
time this week. 1t is understood that
the state officials have agreed to send
a man here on approval.
The work Of the county agent is
quite big job and it will take a very
good man to hold the job in Mason
county for we have some fine farmers
here who are anxious to learn all
there is to learn about the farming
business and they will work man
hard.
