EnthusiastIc Pig Club Member With
His Prize Pia.

the production of meat and teaching
the members good business methods.
Not a few bankers have made 1t pos
sible for worthy club members to Sc
cure pigs on their personal notes. In
this way a well-bred pig Is obtained
through the efforts Of county agent
or pig club leader or specialist and
a banker. The member Is given the
opportunity to pay for 1t from the pro-
ceeds Of the pig as a meat animal or
from the sale Of offspring in case Of a
breeding animal. Often the member
enters into a business agreement with
the parents consen) with the bank
er and thus secures pig when 9TH
erwise 1t would have been impossible
for the child to have Joined the club.
In other instances the bankers have
bought bred gifts to be bred and
given them to club members with the
understanding that two pigs were to be
returned for the original gilt loaned.
These pigs in turn are lent to other
children. This plan Is the so-called
endless chain contract. Either plan
has resulted in increasing interest in
pig clubs with its accompanying ex-
pansion In the supply Of pork products
and the instruction in swine husbandry
which is a part of the club work. The
banker thus helps to lay a foundation
for the prosperity which will be last
Ing. The money received from the
Bale Of hogs will be expended In fur
ther developing the county. Every
merchant In the county will profit, the
banks will get more deposits, and the
farmers will have more money with
| which further to deyelop their farma.

WIN POINT
IN TRANSFERF|G

Washington today won the first
point in the fight for free Inter-eom.
pany transfers. Officials OF the two
street railway lines have agreed 10
issue free inter-company transfers al
four points of intersection OF their
lines. The transfers will be put in
use as soon as existing transfers can
be Cancelled and q new series printed.
Though the transfer points agreed
upon serve only small portion OF
the District, officials of the Public
Utilities Commission see in the de-
cision of the railway companies an
end to the decided opposition which
has characterized transfer fights in
this city for a number of years.
Had stormy SesaIOn.

Public Utilities Commission yesterday
representatives of the Capital Trac-
tion Company and the Washington
Railway and Electric Company reach
ed an agreement regarding inter-

RUSSIA FACES FAMINE

Relief for the suffering millions In
bolshevik-contro1led central Russia
furnishes a problem which the allied
and American Governments have as
yet been unable to solve. In fact. one
official said yesterday that not even
method of solution had been deter
mined upon.
1t will be practically impossible 20
get food 70 the 10000, 900 people In
this territory this winter. With food
scarce and anarchy rampant, officials
fear that famine is inevitable and that
the toll of death may reach astound-
ing figures.
The way to Russia is through Ger
many, one official said. and until the
way is opened there is no chance Of
aiding Russian.

the plans and have full charge of the
arrangements.

MAKE APPLICATION FOR
FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION
Young Men ThrOng Office Of County
Superintendent Of Schools in Or
der to BE Appointed For Spe-
cial College Training.

Nothing has created more interest
in Mason county in many months than
the announcement few days ago by
County Superintendent of Schools
Turnipseed that under a special ar
rangement with the government the
State Normal Schools would educate
the young men of the state who were
in draft age free Of charge and at the
same time the government would pay
these men full private's pay.
During the past several days the Of
Ace of superintendent TuEnipseed has
been thronged with young men anx-
ious to know the particulars of the Of
fer Yesterday young man of q
years of age applied to learn whether
or not he could take advantage of the
opportunity.
Prof. Turnipseed says that he is
certain that there will be a large
number of young men from this coun-
ty go to college this year under the
special offer and he gives it as his
opinion that there will be more young
men in college all over the state this
year than there has ever been before.

FOR
new MEMBERS
DESERVES SUPPORT
Chamber Of Commerce Membership
Campaign Should Receive Hearty
support Of all Our Bust
ness Men.

The campaign for 1919 membership
Of the Chamber of Commerce which
is scheduled for the week of Septem-
Der 16 deserves the untiring support
Of every active citizen interested in
the advancement of our city and coun-
ty.
The leadership of the Chamber of
Commerce has been an important fac
tor in the material development of
Maysville and Mason county for sew
eral years. 1t is the clearing house
for all business activities a directing
force for crystalizing public opinion
and 1t provides the machinery and the
means with which to promote the best
interests of the city, county and state.
The work of building cities and de-
veloping communities has been scien-
tiled through commercial bodies. The
direction of Chambers of Commerce
has become a recognized profession.
Secretaries are being trained
in commercial school, Departments
for this purpose have been establish
ed by some of the great universities
like Harvard, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin. The secretary must be a man of
education and adaptabihty. He must
have wide fund of information and
above all things he must be unselfish
and broad enough to think and act
for the best interest of every worthy
cause in his community.
Organization by business men was
stimulated vastly by Theodore Roose-
welt when he became President, and
later by President Taft who gave Of
merce. During his administration the
Department of Commerce was created
and all commercial bodies in America
were co-ordinated into the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States a
semi-official body with offices in the
Riggs building, Washington, over l.
600 local Chambers of Commerce in
the country are members of this or
ganization.
Committees representing the Ma
tional Association of Commercial sec
retaries drew the plans for the De-
partment of Commerce and actually
organized the National Chamber. The
first was accomplished at the Louis
vile convention in 1911 and the lat
ter at the Cincinnati convention in
1914. The close relations established
between the Maysville Chamber and
{; her organizations of the country is
Invaluable. 1t makes it possible to
secure confidential information and
reports from other cities and also to
give members of the local organiza-
ton a ready Introduction when they
are visiting these cities.

WATSON DISMISSED BECAUSE
THE WOMAN WAS MARRIED
Bastady Trial Comes to An Abrupt
Ending When Attorney For the
Defendant Moves Dismissal
Because Woman Complain
ing Was Married.

The trial of Fred Watson, on a
charge of bastady came to a rather
sudden ending yesterday afternoon
when Attorney ]. NJ. Collins, who rep
resented the defendant, moved that
the court instruct the jury to find for
his client when it was brought out
in evidence that Phoebe Estep, the
mother of the child, was married.
1t was brought out in the evidence
that the Estep woman had been mar
ried some five or six years ago but
that her husband deserted her a short
time after the marriage and had not
been seen since. She had not obtained
a divorce however, and in the eyes of
the law was married woman.
1t was pointed out that the bastady
statute applied only to unmarried wo-
men and Judge Purnell was compell-
ed to instruct the jury to dismiss the
case. He had a heart to heart talk
with Watson and told him that from
the evidence he was certain that he
was the father of the small baby, and
that despite the fact that a legal tech
nicality relieved him of legally being
bound to support the child he should
out of his heart help the mother pro-
vide for the child.
