JUNIOR ACTIVITIES
Takes on Much Interest - Junior
Town Organized

Much interest was displayed by the
youngsters at the opening of the Jun
ior Chautauqua last Saturday morn
ing. There were about one hundred
in attendance and Miss Courtlce feels
very happy with the prospect for a
fine Junior Chautauqua in this city.
The youngsters are all very fond of
Miss Courtice and we predict one of
the best Junior Chautauquas ever
held in this city.
At the opening meeting the Junior
Town" was organized and the fol-
lowing officers elected: Mayor, Rog-
er Caplinger; Town Clerk, Harriet
Glascock; Law and Order Committee,
Brent Wood, Graham Moses, Dorothy
Caplinger, Florence ]. Fee, William
Bryant; Red Cross officer, Adella
Thomas; Thrift Officer, William Ellis /;
Badge Officer, Charles Hutchins.
Much credit is due Miss Hurd for
the fine effort she has put forth in an
endeavor to have every boy and girl
in our city enlisted in the Junior
Chautauqua organization. Mesdames
w. B. Campbell and C, s. Kirk and the
Misses Mary Wilson and Irene Dick
son gave Miss Hurd creditable sup
port and are equally responsible for
the fine lot of boys and girls in this
Junior Chautauqua.

CHAUTAUQUA IS
OPENED WITH
GREAT PROGRAM
Many Attend Annual Meeting on First
Days-PatriOtic Musical Program
and Colonel Balm Today.

Maysville's Win the War Chautau-
qua opened Saturday afternoon with
program by the Welsh Glee Quar-
tette and there was very good audi
ence to hear them. ~
The evening program was especial
ly interesting with a prelude by the
Welsh Glee Quartette and lecture
on New Ways of Feeding the World"
by DR.. Henry A. Adrian. The lee
ture was very timely and one of the
most interesting ever heard on the
subject. 1t was an agreeable sur
prise to all who heard it and those
who failed to hear 1t certainly missed
one of the big features of the Chau-
tauqua.
DR.. Adrian, through his intimate
friendship with Luther Burbank, the
plant wizard, is familiar with many
new developments in the cultivation
of food stuffs. Beginning his lecture
with very vivid description of the
fall of an airplane from dizzy heights
to within a,few feet of the earth when
the machine again was righted and
mounted into the skies, he captivated
his audience and held them spell
bound through the entire talk. He told
of the wonderful developments in
making the desert plants edible and
said that 1t would not be long before
the nation would be using this new
way of feeding the populace. His lec-
ture was well worth the price of half
the season ticket and yet there are
many good things to come.
On Sunday there was an unusually
large audience at the park and be-
sides great classical concert by the
Tschaikowsky Quartette. Burnell r.
Ford, famous inventor, gave a won
derful lecture and demonstration. Mr..
Ford demonstrated some of the WON
dcrs of electricity in a most inter-
esting way and his large audience was
more than pleased with the entertain
ment.
1t is interesting to know that Mr..
Ford is now working on q compass
for airplGn1s which he expects
soon to have perfected. This instru-
ment will be turned over to the Unit
ed States government and will make
our air fleet the most efficient In all
the world.
The program for today is especially
interesting. Ralph Dunbar's Royal
Dragons, singing band, will give
a grand patriotic concert this after
noon and, tonight, besides a concert
by this famous musical organization
Colonel George W. Balm, of Lexington
KY, one of the best known orators on
the merican platform, will give one
of his popular lectures
Al Sweet, who directs the Royal
| DragOOnS is Ona Of tho pnuntry'e poet
famous musicians. For six years he
was director of the famous Ringing
circus band and later was director OF
the Edison Orchestra and band He
Is also the writer of several popular
songs which have made great hits.
The local committee announces that
they are now only about $100 short OF
the guarantee and it is certain thai
this will be made up before the weel
is closed.

FRIERS ARE NOT TO BE ASSESSED

Through articles appearing in the
newspapers Saturday. some have re-
ceived the impression that frying
chickens will be assessed under the
new state law. 1t was explained Sat-
urday by County Tax Commissioner
Brady and County Clerk James
Owens that such was not the case and
that only fully grown chickens would
be assessed. 1t was pointed out that
the assessment on chickens in Ken
lucky would amount to but little un-
der the present rate of taxation which
is $1.10 per 800. A flock of 100 hens
valued at fifty cents each under the
present rate of taxation would cost
the owner but 55 cents in taxes.

British Rural Life CHANCES

With women taking the place of men
workers, conditions In many parts of
the country are undergoing a remark
able change. This is most noticeable
In parts where woman land workers
are making their homes.
The Woman's Institute Is largely re-
sponsible for the movement, which Is
gradually revolutionizing village life,
making 1t more attractive and stimu-
lating a sense of citizenship. In con-
junction with the food production de-
partment, a parliamentary meeting is
called which elects a democratic com
mittee representing farmers wives,
cottagers and landed women, who
thereafter manage affairs, arranging
for monthly social gatherings where
useful lectures are given. exhibitions

FAMOUS FOREST QUITE GONE.

Lovers used to stroll arm In arm

these forests once stood is no longer
possible, Gouverneur Norris writes in
Golfers. You must go alone. If there
has been rain you should have nails

tons of the hills have been tortured
and turned into ridges and hollows like
the Atlantic ocean during the equi-
noctial gales.

THAT HE NEEDED "PEP"
Little Fellow Simply Had to Spend a
Nickel of the Dime in His
Possession.

Frank Groninger, attorney, has a
pink-cheeked, tow-headed %yOungster,
whose name to every one who knows
him, is synonymous with effervescent,
overlooking spirits. He is a thinker,
too, this small Jack.
1t was he, who some years ago Che
has now attained the mature age of
eight years., after gravely meditating
on the phenomenon that ensued when
things were planted in the ground.
e., that duplicates of the thing planted
accommodatingly took root and grew
up out of the grOund-was discovered
in the yard by his mother, carefully
patting and slapping down a pile of
wet mud with his small spade.
"What are you doing Jack planting
something's" Jacks evident reluctance
to disclose the nature of his agricul-
tural activities aroused his mothers
suspicion. Grasping one of the minia-
ture garden tools at Jacks feet she
dug vigorously into the wet mud. A
CLINT caught her eye, and in Mortified
silence she scraped the mud from her
jeweled gold watch.
But, If Jack didn't succeed in grow
ing nice little timepieces, that a small
boy could hear tick undisturbedly, he
has kept right on being active. Hence,
his mothers surprise the other day at
a reply of his.
Jacks father, before leaving for his
office, gave Jack a dime. Afterward
Jacks mother seeing the coin in his
hand, admonished him to put the dime
away and save it.

uatingly, II simply got to spend a
nickel of it to give me some 'pep.'"-

REGULARITY OF LOST HAND
That He Should Be Able TO Feel II
Alternately open and Close Puz-
zies Soldier.

A British soldier writes: Most peo-
pie. I think, know that when a person
has lost a limb, that person still re-
tains the sense" or feeling, OF the
missing limb. AS a case in point
might mention that a friend of mine
who had lost a leg in the war, in an
unthinking moment took a step on the
missing leg and came to grief. my
self had the misfortune to lose my leti
hand on the Messines ridge last June,
and all the pain / have suffered from
the wound has been in the hand which
i no longer possess. Now, the peculiar
part Of it all is that on alternate days
the fingers Of the missing hand open
and close; that is to say. yesterday
they were closed today they are open.
Tomorrow they will be closed again.
Can this be explained? This change
takes place during sleep, and once or
twice, on restless nights, | have actu-
ally felt the change taking place. i
was l~efthanded, and curing the attack
/ carried my revolver In the missing
hand. When the fingers are closed
they are exactly in the same position
as if they were still grasping the re-
volver. That | can understand, but
why should they open on alternate
days? The only explanation ! can Of
fer Is that what remains of the hand
after was wounded was amputated
exactly t~wenty-four hours later. Also,
| was wounded somewhere about 4
o'clock in the morning, and was oper-
ated on about the same time the fol
lowing morning, and the opening and
closing of the fingers takes place about
this time.

WHERE SOLDIERS ARE BETTER
Army Officer Explains the Benefits Of
Development of Physiological
Resistance.

In an interview with Surgeon Gen.
eral Gorgas for the American Maya
zine, about the chances your boy has
to come back alive, the author says,
referring to another army officer for
the moment:
Major Grille said another thing
which every mother and father ought
to learn by heart. He said: The
thing which affects a wounded mans
chances more than almost anything
else is physiological resistance. That
is where the soldier puts it all over
the civilian every time. When a man
goes out from the worries, RESPONSE

low, pasty young clerks get out and
turn into menl I've seen young chaps
who were little more than fabby hu-
man jellyfsh transformed by their life
in the trenches into husky fellows that
were grit clean through. They laughed
at things which would have finished
them completely before they went into
the army. They had developed the
biggest factor in a wounded mans
chances-physiological resistance. And
1t was their life as soldiers that gave
them this new possession"

suraIcaI DRESSING Work.

Seine skeptical people, who usually
aren't doing anything themselves, think
that the production of surgical dress
ings by patriotic women Is being over
done. If they could see conditions In
some OF the French villages, where
not a single able-bodied man remains,
they would not feel SC.
In these colossal battles, where hun
dreds of thousands Of men are en-
gagged, all previous wars and needs are
outclassed. A great many men are
wounded In these battles. With
prompt care and abundant material
handy. the vast majority of the wound
ed are saved.
Vast storehouses should be filled In
France at all times for this need. A
Red Cross doctor who recently return
ed from France reports a case of a SOL
der so badly wounded that II took a
whole case of dressings to save him.
Under the strain of such demands, a
great mountain Of supplies win quick
