The average customer likes to have
the price of goods marked in plain fig
ures. They feel that in that way ev-
cry customer is being asked the
same price for the same article.
Before | close let me impress upon
the Importance of supporting our To-
cal wholesale concerns. Buy all the
goods you can here and thus set an ex-
ample to your customers to buy all
the goods they can here. You will OBJ
tain quicker delivery and save freight.
1t may be quite an innovation for me
to suggest that cooperative buying be
practiced by the retailers of Maysville
but 1t seems to me that ii would stand
to reason that half dozen concerns
selling the same articles but buying
from as many different wholesalers
could not obtain as good a price as if
they combined their business and con-
centrated their orders and procured
their goods in larger otis. Now, most
of these things apply to ordinary
times, but some of my suggestions
might have to be changed or disre-
garded because of the present condi-
tons in this country.
In my opinion it is absolutely ne
cessary that the City of Maysville
have a Chamber of Commerce. This
is clearing house for all kinds of
information and activity. 1t is help
ing the members as well as the non
members and you can help it by pay
ing your dues promptly and suggest
ing to non-members that they join
and do their part. One Of the best
things affecting the retailers which
the Chamber Of Commerce has accom-
plished has been the establishment Of
the auto-bus waiting room. II is
needless for me to elaborate on that
plan. as you all surely realize its ad-
vantages and are possibly using them
every day.
In closing. let me again impress up
on the Importance Of cooperation. I
recently heard someone substitute the
word Cooperation" for "Competi-
ton" in the sentence, Competition is
the life Of trade" making Il read, Co
operation is the life of trade" Let
me urge you to put aside all per-
sonal feeling in the matter Of bust
ness. Look on your competitor a as

QUALITY-QUANTITY
IN FOX PROGRAM

Quality and quantity both mark the
big special double-feature mid week
program at FoX's today and tomor-
row. a big spectacular melodrama
OF the Alaskan SHOWS, and a scream
ing comedy picture with Americas
favorite fun-maker, Douglas Fair
banks, makes a rare com bination that
no one will want to miss. Fairbanks
is always a popular and welcome ad-
dition to any program, but he is best
liked when he performs his hazard
ous yet laughable athletic stunts,
which have been missing in some of
his recent pictures. But in his pres
enr vehicle, "Flirting With Fate" he
is hustling every minute, ut-witting
assassins, making violent love, and
doiEg everything else under the sun
with a dash and celebrity that have
made him the idol Of millions. The
Great White Trail" which is the title
of the other feature to be seen on
| of the same bill, is a new super pro-
duction written and directed by Leo
pold D. Wharton, tho wizard who pro-
duced "Patria', THE Exploits Of
Elaine" and many other successes
that have gone down in moton-pic
ture history as among the most pop
ular masterpieces Of film presenta-
ton ever offered. In THE Great
White Trail" Mr.. Whartons friends
say that he has surpassed all prcvi-
Gus efforts. 1t is a powerful tense
drama of tho early gold rush to the
far white stretches of Alaska, and it
tells a wonderful story of love, hate,
sacrifice, vengeance, and ultimate vic
tory Of right over might. Tho great
err part of the picture was taken in
Alaska, and in many scenes the actors
were compelled to work in snow IL
feet deep in order to get the correct
atm oSphere for the setting. There
are several well-known perform ers
in the cast but the interest is CEN
tered chiefly around Doris Kenyon,
who has the principal female role.
Miss Kenyon is generally reputed to
be the prettiest girl now appearing
on the screen. In addition to these
two big features will be shown Il

OLD FAVORITE IS
KEENEY TOPLINER

TheatCrgoers for years past will re-
member the famous show of Blue
Jeans" it having played all over the
country time and again and was the
most popular stage production Of the
day. The Metro Co. has produced
this old-time faVorite as a photoplay
feature in seven parts with the
charming Viola. Dana in the leading
role of June" who came into her
own as the greatest of modern screen
artists While Miss Dana is we'll
known and her work appreciated by
hundreds Of thousands of theater pa
irons none of the vehicles in which
she has appeared in heretofore have
given her the opportunity to show
her real class as does Blue Jeans"
1t is confidently predicted that after
the public sees this seven-reel pro-
duction that Miss Danas pictures
will be in greater demand than those
OF Mary Piczford. The big dramatic
climax comes when June has been
locked in an Office by Ben Boone, the
villain. Through the glass door she
sees Boone and her sweetheart, Perry
Bascom fighting in the mill. Boone
places Bascom on the log-Carriage
and sets the circular saw in action
Just in the nick of time June rushes
into the mill and pushes Bascom
from tho carriage before his body
reaches the treacherouS teeth. Miss
Dana is superbly supported by an
all-star cast and the people of New
Britain have real treat in the movie
line in the production of Blue
Jeans" The vaudeville acts this

PERENNIAL PESTS.
How to Destroy Mosquitoes BY Pre-
ventivs Measures.

ventivs Measures.
A teacup'ul Of water standing ten
lays Is enough to breed over 200 mos
quitoes. A bucketful of water may
breed enough to infest a community.
Some species Of mosquitoes lay their
eggs on the water others lay them in
the water, and still others lay them in
the marsh mud. All the eggs hatch
out first into 'wrigglers,' and then they.
turn into what are called 'pupae." The
grown mosquitoes finally emerge from
the pupae and fly into the air. Both
wriggler and pupae are readily seen
with the naked eye.
Don't waste time swatting mosqui-
toes. Prevent their breeding by drain
ing or filing ponds and puddles or, If
near the seashore, by connecting the
marshes with tidal water, by emptying
or screening rain barrels, removing all
old tins, boxes. tubs, pals, bottles,
broken crockery and other things
which collect water. Report to the
of health the location of
any pools or puddles, particularly
those which do not dry up within a
week.
Be on the constant lookout for stand
ing water and do away with It, wheth-
er 1t contains wrigglers or not. Safe

Why Oil viii Still the Troubled Watsrs
Immediately.

Frequently we hear the expression
that some one poured oil upon the
troubled waters" which is linked up
with the discovery that oil poured over
board from ship in distress viii tend
to increase its safety by stopping the
waves from breaking against the ships
side. This is due to the fact that the
oil is composed OF molecules which are
more closely compressed than the mole
cules in water. The oil forms kind of
blanket through which the waves cam
not break. thus protecting the sides of
a ship that has poured overheard
enough oil to cover the sea for few
yards in all directions. The waves be-
ncath the oil are just ms violent as
ever. but they cannot break through.
