Y. w. c. A. WAR FUND.
Fifty-nine Counties Report

the Counties Fall Down.
Others Exceed Quota.

Returns that in all but a few
cases are final show that the Y.
W. c. A. war fund campaign in
Wisconsin netted total of S53.-
924.7S, from fifty nine out of the
seventy counties in the state.
The showing made by some of
the wealthy counties are so
small that it is ludicrous,
especially when the small and
poorer counties in the state came
across with more than their
quota.
AS an example: Villas one ofthe
small counties, sent in $35.22 as
against Eau Claire county's
$500, Wood county $1.OO.
Clark $500, Vernon $1,000, and
so on. Twelve counties filled or
over-subscribed their quotas, but
a greater number fell by the way
side.

this district, that the supreme
court of the United States, in a

papers over seven years old,
whether taken out under the old

invalid for any purpose aud that
aliens desiring to secure their

PLANS FOR The FAIR
Interesting Meeting of the MaSOr
County Poultry Association Held
Last Night at the Chamber
of Commerce.

A very interesting meeting of the
Mason County Poultry Association
was held last night at the Chamber
of Commerce when plans were dis
cussed for the exhibition of fowls al
the Germantown Fair this season.
1t is expected that there will be E
bigger and better show of fowls al
the Old Reliable this season than has
vet ever been held there and much of
the success of this exhibit will be due
the efforts of the members of the
Mason County Poultry Associations
members.
There is splendid premium list for
poultry and all sorts of fowls and the
members of the Mason rounty organi-
zation are determined to hold the big
prizes in Mason county. 1t is eX-
pected that there will be quite few
of the full bloded Rhode Island Reds
which were grown by Mason county
farmers displayed at this fair and a
special effort will be made to inter
est more people in the countrywide
plan to raise Rhode Island Reds as a
special county breed.

Mrs. Emma Rudy, aged rs years one
of Maysville's oldest and most re-
spected citizens, died this morning at
$50 at the home of her daughter, Mrs
Harry l.. Walsh in Front street fol-
lowing an illness of only four days of
heart trouble.
Mrs. Rudy has been in bad health
for many months of diseases incident
to old age but had suffered from the
present illness for only a few days
Physicians are of the belief that the
excessive heat of the past few days
was the direct cause of her death.
She was a life long resident of
Maysville and a splendid lady. Be
sides her husband, Byron Rudy, she
is survived by three children, two
sons, Charles and Walter Rudy, of
Cincinnati, and one daughter. Mrs.
Harry L. Walsh, with whom she made

TOBACCO FAIR
DATES ARE FIXED
BY DIRECTORS
Maysyllle's Big Corn and Tobacco
Fair WIN BE Held on November
20, 81, % and 23-WiIl BE
Bigger Agricultural and
Live Stock Exhibit.

At meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Maysville Chamber of
Commerce held yesterday afternoon
1t was definitely decided to hold this
years big Corn and Tobacco Fair on
November 20, 81, % and 90 and a
committee consisting of A. L. Merz,
Chairman, A. NJ. January, r. T. Kirk
and Carl Dodds was appointed to have
full charge of the fair,
This committee expects to get busy
in the very near future making ar
rangements for the big show which
will eclipse anything ever yet at
tempted in Mason county.
1t was the unanimous belief of the
directors that the fair this year should
bear a closer relation to the work of
the government and it will be made
bigger agricultural and live stock
fair Besides the great display and
the interesting entertainment to be
held as usual provision will be made
for a much bigger display of farm
products, live stock and poultry than
ever before and this may necessitate
the moving of the fair to a larger
building for this year.
Now that the date of the big fair
has been definitely fixed the people of
Maysyille and Mason county should
begin right now to advertise the big
fair. Make arrangements with your
relatives to visit you during fair week
and let's make the Corn and Tobacco
Fair one of the biggest things in the
state as it has always been.
From the endorsement the fair has
from state officials we should attract
to Maysville this year hundreds of
people from all over this and adioin-
ing states.

GAS VALVE To
BE REPLACED
TOMORROW
Valve Which Caught Fire Last Year
To BE Replaced-NO Interference
Expected Here But Precau-
tiOns Are Taken.

The Columbia Gas and Electric
Company has made all preparations
to replace the 20 inch gate valve in
their main trunk line at the German
town pike tomorrow morning. This
is the valve that caught fire last year
and was put out with so much difiic-
ulty. Temporary repairs were made
at that time.
The gas will he blown ont of the
main line between the gate valve at
the Maysville station and the valve
below the Germantown pike. No in
terference with the gas supply of
Maysville is anticipated.
The Maysville Gas Company will
however, be on guard against any pos
sible or unforeseen interruption to
the Maysville service and will use the
telephone in case it is necessary to
give any further information to con-
sumers.

The management of the Maysville
Street. Railroad and Transfer Com
pany announced this morning that in
the future street car tickets cannot be
purchased six for a quarter as has
been the case in Maysville for many
years but in the future each ride will
cost five cents and children will also
be required to pay full fare.
This announcement will not come
as a surprise to the people of Mays
vile for they have realized that be-
cause of the high cost of labor and
everything necessary for the main.
tenance of street car line, the Mays
vile company would finally be re-
quired to take the same step taken
by most street car operators in the
country during the past several
weeks
In many cities the car fare has
been increased from five to six cents
but at the present the local company
has not contemplated such a change.
With everything required for conduct
ing the line, however. the company
found that it would be absolutely inn
possible for them to continue to sell
six rides for quarter and this morn
ing large cards announcing the
change of the old custom, were placed
in all of the local street cars.
During the school season it will be
impossible for the Street Car Com
pany to sell school tickets as has been
the custom in the past and all chill
dren will be required to pay full fare
five cents-for each ride
No city in the country the size of
Maysville has better street car line
than this city and the splendid SER
vice the company has been giving it's
patrons is appreciated. There will be
no complaint to the new ruling from
those who understand that in war
times such concerns are hit hard and
their expenses are almost doubled.
The patrons of the car line will be
asked to share only a part of the in
creased cost of operation.
All outstanding tickets will, of
course, be redeemed by the company
at the value when issued but in the
future each ticket will represent FIVE
cents.

McADOO ORDERS
ADEQUATE SERVICE
ON THE c. & 0.
As Result Of Inspection Trip Over G..
& o. Thursday Director General
Orders Better Passenger Ser
Vice on This Line.

Henceforth Hon. William G. Nc
Adoo, the Director-General of Rail-
ways, is going to find his popularity
along the Chesapeake & Ohio rail-
way. especially with the travelling
public, considerably enhanced.
On Thursday he made an inspection
trip along the Chesapeake & Ohio
railway, and instead of remaining in
the seclusion of his private car, which
was attached to Train Number Two,
from Cincinnati TO White Sulphur
Springs. he got out and mingled with
the crowds. At any rate, he must nave
seen enough to have convinced him
that the Chesapeake & Ohio passenger
trains, as now operated, are insuffic-
lent to accommodate the people who
travel along this important artery of
traffic. When he left his private car
no doubt saw people standing in the
aisles, as they ordinarily do for miles
and miles on the Chesapeake & Ohio
trains. No sooner had he arrived at
White Sulphur Springs, than he pro-
mulgated an order, through Assistant
Director-General Oscar A. Price,
which was in substance, as follows:
"The Director General, on an inspec-
tion trip over the Chesapeake & Ohio
railway, noticed the crowded condi-
tion of the passenger trains, and he
directs the Federal Manager George
W. Stevens) to give the public the
necessary service by putting on addi-
tional cars or second sections of all
trains that are crowded and do not af-
ford the necessary facilities"
The order is effective at once, and
it is understood the first trains to be
affected will be Number and 4, east
bound, and and westbound. Other
crowded trains will carry extra cars
or be run in two sections.
