So amended as to permit licensed
unmuzzlcd dogs to run at large dur
ing daylight hours, the Baker dog
bill, steered by Floor Leader Willis,
passed the House of Delegates yester-
day, 60 to %.
The vote came after lengthy argu-
ment, for which the bars were let
down when Mr.. Willis moved to re-
consider the vote by which the bill
passed to the fna! reading so that
Delegate Gilmer could offer an
amendment. Mr.. Gilmcr claimed
that he had been prevented from
speaking on the previous day. He
characterized the measure as high
LANDED effort by city representatives
to protect the game of the State for
tie personal pleasure of city people.
The profession that it was designed
to preserve the sheep industry, he
said, was a mere bait to get the
country delegates support. lie,
Major Anderson and Delegate Evans
wanted the law made optional with
the supervisors of the several coun-
tics. Dr.. Peter Winston replied that
he thought the matter of local option
had been pretty thoroughly settled in
Virginia by the prohibition election.

In today's casualty list there ap-
pears the name of Sergeant John w.
Thomas, of Maysville, who is listed as
being severely wounded in action in
France. All efforts to locate this
young man or his family here have
been unavailng. Several days ago
telegram was received here from the
War Department ADDRESSED to ]. w.
Thomas announcing the young mans
injury. Employees of the telegraph
company tried to locate the young
man or his relatives but was unable
to do so. 1t is thought that there
must have been mistake in the
transmission and the young mans
home must be in some other Maysville
Should there be any one who knows
this young man, however, or his fam
lily, they should communicate this fact

Veterans from all over this section

thinned down considerably and the
roll of the dead is growing with each
meeting.
Beechwood Park is being put in
first-class condition for their meeting.
The pavilion will be decorated in the

readiness for the big meeting. A
splendid program has been worked
out and this year 1t is expected that

ton will have to be changed to an or
ganization of sons and daughters of
Civil War heroes and they are being
urged more and more each year to
meet with the few old timers who are
yet on the earth and able to attend
Those who are left bend every eff
fort to be in attendance and if it is
at all possible they are here to meet
their old comrades and to talk over
old times.
A special program of fine talks and
splendid music has been arranged and
all attending the meeting will be en-
tanned and will leave feeling that it
was good to have been there.

ALL DAY TOMORROW
MaysNille Settlement Club VIII Gath.
err Clothing For the Suffering Bel
glans In All Parts Of the
City Tomorrow

No drive has meet with more sue
cess than the drive being handled here
by the Maysville Settlement Club for
the collection of old clothing to cover
the bodies of the suffering civilians of
Belgium during the coming winter.
The movement has met with hearty
approval from people in all classes
not only in Maysville but throughout
the entire county and the young ladies
of the Settlement Club feel certain
that they will collect Maysvllle and
Mason countys full share of old
clothing.
In larger cities parents of soldiers
who are now wearing khaki are CIV
ing all of the clothing of their soldier
boys to the cause. The most of the
soldiers are growing and developing
under the splendid military training
and when they return the most of
them will be unable to wear the cloth
ing they left behind when they an
swered the call to the colors.
In every home at this season of the
year there is to be found a large
amount of old clothing that may not
be of service to the men of the house
but that may keep some sucering Bel
gian warm during the coming winter
and save his life.
The Settlement Club has set aside
tomorrow as the day for the collection
of this clothing and every one is ask
ed to have his supply of clothing
ready to be delivered to the club by
9 a. m
