Y. NJ. c. A. STUDY CLASS
Begun at Maysyille High School Yes
terday Afternoon With About Sew
enty-fye Boys Enrolled.

Friday, February Is, marked the
beginning of the Y. NJ. C. A. Study
Club in Maysville High School. In
yesterdays issue there was an article
explaining the plan and functions of
this organization. In this article 1t
was pointed out that Mr.. II. G. Curran
was elected leader and teacher and
from the results of the first meeting
we are sure that the boys made no
mistake in their selection.
At ! o'clock seventy-five enthusis-
tic boys met in the auditorium for
their first mass meeting with a lead
err. With few well chosen remarks
in regard to the success of this organ
ization and its purpose Mr.. Edward
Walton, the president, introduced Mr..
H. c. Curran. Mr. Curran spoke the
entire period of one hour and not one
OF the seventy-hVe became tired.
He also spoke on endurance,
straight forward directness and closed
his speech with mercy, quality, those
famous lines from the Merchant of
Venice, "The quality of mercy is not
strained, it droppeth as the gentle rain
from heaven unon the place beneath. "
We all inclined to believe that old
Maysville High School will win one of
the Guns, and who can tell maybe all
of them, ANYWAY we are sure that with
such enthusiasm as was shown by
both leader and boys that every one
will be fully benefited and that this
little club in Maysvile High School
will ultimately be the forming of a
Y. NJ. c. A. in Maysville.

DANGEROUS HOLE IN SARDIS
PIKE

Much complaint is being made of a
cave-in of the Sardis pike near the
point where it turns into the Lexing-
ton pike at Lees creek. Mr. Frank
Hall, star mail carrier from this city
to Mt. Olivet, on his trip yesterday
found it necessary to tear down a
stone wall and fill up the gap before
he could cross. On his return trip the
rocks had all sunk and he had to re-
peat the performance. Another man
had to put two big planks over the
hole to get across. We wish to call
the attention of the county road COM
mission to this dangerous place, in or
der that it might be fixed.

VERNON CASTLE KILLED
In Airplane Accident-Met Death
While Flying ut Aviation Camp
Near Fort Worth, Texas.

Fort Worth, Texas, February ID
Capt. Vernon Castle, or the English
Royal Flying Corps, was killed this
morning while flying fifteen miles
west of Fort Worth.
Castle, in trying to avoid a cadet,
swerved his machine beyond his con-
troll, fell and was unable to right him
self. The cadet was an American, but
was being instructed by the British.
The accident happened close by the
Benbrook field. The cadet was unin-
jured.
Vernon Castle had a national repu-
tation as a dancer With his wife, al
so a graceful dancer, he attained
great popularity several years ago as
a teacher of modern dances. When
the war broke out both Of the Castles
became interested in war work, and
Mr.. Castel took up aviation.
He was granted an aviator's pilot Ii
cense by the Aero Club of America
February 8, 1916, after having made
a satisfactory record in test flights.
His right name was Vernon Blythe.
Soon aftef receiving his aviator IL
cense he sailed from New York for
England to join the British aerial SER
vice. In March, of 1916, he was ap-
pointed temporary lieutenant in the
British Royal Firing Corps. Shortly
afterward there came report of his
death while flying in France.
Castle returned from the French
front in April, 1917, and Joined the
royal flying corps in Canada as an in
structor, with the rank of captain The
following month he was reported to
have had a narrow escape from death
in an accident while flying at Camp
Mohawk. The cadet who was flying
with Capt. Castle in the machine at
the time was killed.
When a Canadian contingent of the
flying corps was transferred to Texas
last fall for winter training, Capt.
Castle went with it as an instructor.
Mrs. Castle, who is now one of the
star actresses of a motion picture con-
Germ, was Frustrated upon receiving
the news of her husbands death.

tlOn and Overthrow
BOlsheyIkl.

London, February 10 - Peace on
German terms having been refused
by the Bolsheviki Government, Ger
many will again take up military OPP
erations against Northern Russia
This resolution is said to have been
agreed to at conference at imperial
headquarters between Emperor Will
liam and military and political lead
ers. Petrograd probably will be the
objective of the new invasion.
The negotiations at Brest-Litovsk
broke in a stormy session, after which
Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki For
eign Minister, enunciated a plan OF
mo war, but no ueace. " This was
rejected by Germany, which holds
that Trotzky's declaration ended the
armistice on the Russian front. The
armistice expired Thursday.
1t is indicated in Vienna dispatches
that the Central Powers made peace
with the Ukraine in order to Offset
their diplomatic defeat at the hands
of Trotzky. 1t is reported that Ger
many will support the Ukraine
against the Bolsheviki. One German
newspaper says that the BolSheviki
are moving against the Ukraine and
there is little doubt that the Central
Powers will use all means to protect
the food supplies which they hope
to obtain from the Ukraine. BY aid
ing the Ukraine, Germany probably
would not have to bring back from
the western front more than a few
of the divisions moved there recently
from the east.

DIR. McCURDY IN ARMY
NEW MANAGER SELECTED

At business meeting held several
days ago by the directors of the Nc
Curdy Mining Company, at the Nc
Curdy mine, one and one half miles
east of Picher, ]. A. Woodruff, of Ok
lahoma City, was appointed business
manager, owing to the fact that DR..
T. C. McCurdy is now with the army
in France, and his brother, DR.. w. G.
McCurdy, expects to be called at any
time. Both of the brothers still re-
tain their interest in the mining COM
pany. A. F. Tulley, cashier of the
Trust and Savings bank of Purcell,
Okla, has taken over an active inter-
est in the company which is composed
of Purcell capitalists.
The mine, which has been idle for
some time, will be placed in operation
during September, as from a recent
report made by Frank W. SAMSON
Joplin expert mining engineer, shows
an excellent recovery Of zinc ore, be-
ginning at the depth of 139 feet and
continuing to 1853 feet; that the ore
was of high grade and there was
plenty of pay dirt upon which to OPP
crate the mill continuously for some
time.
The mill was recently completed
and turned over and found to be in
perfect unit. It is of $50 ton capacity
and operated by steam. Two shifts
are down into ore and will be sunk
deeper to obtain sufficient water upon
which to operate.
