CHILDREN UNDER IS YEARS
CANNOT WORK IN TOBACCO
Ruling Received BY Prof. Capllnger
From State Labor Board Makes II
Impossible For Children TO
Work In Stemmery.

Prof. w. J. Caplinger, Superintend-
ent of the Maysville Public Schools
and in charge of the enforcement Of
the Child Labor Laws in this city, to-
day received from the State Labor
Board ruling on the matter Of
whether or not children between the
ages of IA and 16 years could work
in the Reynolds Tobacco Stemmery
here.
The ruling Is to the effect that no
children under 16 years of age can
work in the tobacco plant no matter
how sanitary the conditions or how
careful the firm Is of the welfare of
their employees.
Prof. Caplinger recently made a
complete investigation of the Reynolds
plant at the request of the local courts
to whom children and parents had ap-
piled for permission to work in the
plant. The managers of the plant had
taken the position that they would not
give employment to children under 16
years of age unless there was spe-
cial ruling giving them that specific
permission as they had understood the
state and Federal laws that those chill
dren could not be worked.
This ruling is blow to many school
children between IA and 16 years of
age who were very anxious to get en-
ployment at the Reynolds plant dur
ing the vacation period.

Big CENTENARY IS
BIGGEST UNDERTAKING
Of ANY Denomination
Exposition at Columbus Is Real
Worlds Fair With All NatiOnall.
ties Representations Are
Splendidly Laid.

A party of Maysvillians visited the
Methodist Centenary Celebration at
Columbus, Ohio, Saturday and Sun
day. It was a real Worlds Fair with
all nationalities represented and one
Of the prettiest and most educational
programs ever rendered before large
audience. The city has made great
preparations for the exposition having
left nothing undone to make It great
success in every respect
The big fair is located on the State
Fair grounds which are beautifully
lighted by electricity and there the
trip around the world is worth many
/ times the expense to which one is put
to visit the capital city. The nations
of the earth are represented and their
modes of living and occupations are
shown.
Each evening at eight o'clock
great Pageant is given in the Colo
scum. This great Colosseum seats 5O,-
900 people and on Saturday evening it
was well filled. The orchestra which
furnishes beautiful music is composed
of 100 polished musicians and cho-
rus of 1000 voices furnishes pleasing
vocal music.
The spectacle Is one of the greatest
ever produced for any denomination.
1t shows every class Of people from
the fall of man in the Garden Of Eden
down to the great men and women Of
of our own times. Washington, Lin
coin, Columbia, Joan of Arc, the Army
and Navy, the Salvation Army and
Red Cross are depicted. At the close
of the spectacle one thousand people
from the little babe to the aged man
of all all climes and nations stand be-
fore the redeemed saints while the
mighty chorus peals forth GLORY to
God In the Highest, Peace on Earth,
Good Will Toward men,"
The great celebration is wonderful
and one can never appreciate the ef-
forts without seeing 1t. The greatest
tasks Of men are undertaken and de-
picted before ones eyes. Everything
is so arranged and the men in charge
are so courteous and accommodating
that one cannot but help see the things
as planned. Even the roads leading to
Columbus are marked. The city is
wonderfully decorated and window
displays are magnificent. Street car
service and train service cannot be ex-
celled and everything is worked out
to fine point to satisfy and please
the most exacting.
Many other local Methodists are
planning to attend later on during the
big exposition.

FUND DRIVE GETS A
GOOD START HERE
Campaigners Who We're Out Sunday
Report a Most Successful Day
Many Subscriptions Are Taken

, Although the drive was not sup
posed to start in earnest until Monday
morning. quite number of the pre-
cinct workers took lead on the drive
and got busy Sunday. This is espe-
cially true in the city where the work
ers report much success during Sun
day afternoon.
The Salvation Army seems to have
the approval Of most every one who
had any relatives in the service and
In order to show their appreciation
Tor the splendid service this organlZa-
ton gave to the soldiers on the field
OF battle and in camp, the soldiers are
endorsing It heartily to their folks
and urging its loyal support. Many
pastors over the state Sunday recon-
mended the Salvation Army to their
people in the churches and this week
the boosters of the Salvation Army
will send quite sum of Kentucky
money into the purse of the Salvation
Army that they may continue the great
work they have undertaken which is
Just as important in peace times as in

Paris, June 23.-The allies prompt
ly refused request for 4S-hour ex-
tension of the time limit for accept
ance Of the peace treaty, received from
the Germans this morning.
The seven-day time limit expires to-
day.
Previously the allies had received a
note from Gustave Bauer, new Ger
man chancellor, saying Germany
would sign the treaty, because she is
forced to do so, but making certain
reservations. To this note the allies
replied that time for discussion had
passed and that Germany must accept
the terms without qualification or re-
servation.
Bauer's note, which was directed
to Premier Georges Clemenceau, as
chairman of the Allied Peace Commits
sion, declined responsibility for what
might happen in Poland, and what is
bound to happen when the impossible
ity Of carrying out the conditions
comes up"
1t adds, however, that Germany will
sign, as she "is imposed by force"
The note refused to admit Germany
was the author of the war, declared
she would not accept the article COM
pelling her to give up persons charged
with war crimes, and requested that
the treaty be re-examined within two
years.
Clemenceau replied:
There remain less than "a hours.
The allies are constrained to say the
time for discussion has passed. Ger
many must accept the terms without
qualification or reservation. We shall
require from the representatives of
Germany an unequivocal decision of
their purpose to sign and accept, or
not, the whole of the finally formu-
lated treatey. Germany is responsible
for the execution of every stipulation
after her signature"
The Big Three met at Premier Lloyd
Georges residence at s a. m. and re-
mained in session for half an hour.
Announcement of rejection of the
request for extension of the limit
was made after the group adjourned
The German note regarding reser-
vations, dated at Weimar, June 81, af-
ter setting forth In detail the alleged
necessity for such reservations ad.
vanced these conclusions:
THE government of the German re.
public is ready to sign the treaty Of
peace without. however, recognizing
thereby that the German people were
the authors of the war and without
undertaking any responsibility for de-
livering persons in accordance witt
Articles 227 to 230 of the treaty o.
peace"
