Demonstrations ON CARE
OF TOBACCO ARE PLANNED
Expert VIII Give Free Demonstrations
Throughout County During July
On killing Tobacco Worms
without Firing Plants.

Mr.. g. A. Schier, an expert on the
growth Of tobacco plants, was In
Maysville today making arrangements
through County Agent George Kirk
for a series of free demonstrations in
various parts Of the county beginning
about the middle of July on the care
of tobacco.
Mr.. Schier's demonstrations in Ma
son county will have most to do with
the application of certain kinds of
poisons to kill tobacco worms which
will not damage the plants by burn
ing. He will have with him at the
demonstrations the sort of apparatus
necessary for the applications.
County Agent Kirk plans to have
several demonstrations during the to-
bacco season that will be beneficial to
the tobacco growers Of Mason county

KENTUCKY GIL Ex.
CHANGE MAY HAVE
A BRANCH HERE
Committee Visiting Lexington and
Paris Tuesday Receives Much En-.
couragement From Most Pro-
mlnent OIL Men In State.

Maysville may have branch Of the
Kentucky OIL Exchange which now
operates in the cities Of Lexington and
Louisville, within a short time II the
plans laid Tuesday at Lexington by
local men and prominent oil men of
the state are finally carried out
The OIL Exchanges at Lexington and
at Paris were thoroughly investigated
and Colonel Thomas Owsley, manager
of the Kentucky Oil Exchange, as
sured the Maysville men that as Mays
VILE is looming large as an oil CEN
ter, his company had already been in
vestigating the probability of opening
a branch exchange In this city to be
operated by local people. The ar
rangement suggested was that the
Maysville Exchange should cooperate
with the Lexington and Louisville ex-
changes and receive through them the
latest and most complete reports on
oil stocks and transactions In the Ken
lucky fields. To obtain the informa-
ton and quotations which can be OBJ
tained through such an arrangement
would be beyond the reach of Mays
vile as 1t would cost a large amount
of money but through this cooper
ative arrangement operators on the
Maysville Exchange would have
exactly the same information and
quotations at all times that could be
obtained on the exchanges in either of
the two large cities.
The main thing insisted on by the
Kentucky Oil Exchange officials was
that first class man be in charge Of
the local exchange so that there
would be no possible chance for
doubling the quotation or information
or transactions through the exchange.
Mr.. Owsley explained that the Ken
tucky OIL Exchanges reputation must
stand behind the Maysville exchange
and that every transaction must be
first-class in every respect hence the
necessity of having a very high type
of man in charge Of the local branch.
Maysville Is now the headquarters
for the Lewis county fields and will
become more of an oil city as those
fields are developed. 1t is a we'll
known fact that nearly as much oil
stock is owned, bought and sold in
Mason county as most any county in
the state and there is therefore no
reason why these transactions should
not be handled through a local ex-
change and no reason why the oil men
of this section should not have stock
quotations daily.
1t Is almost certainty that Mays
VILE will have an Oil Exchange in a
very short time.
The gentlemen in Lexington Tues
day also looked into the matter of hav-
ing daily grain and live stock quota
tions at the Chamber of Commerce for
the farmers of Mason county and 1t
seems certain that this will be real
lied in short time.

WILL MAKE FINAL
PLANS FOR 4th Of
JULYCELEBRATION
Important Meeting Of the Directors Of
the Chamber Of Commerce This
Evening When Final Plans
VIII BE Adopted For Big
Home Coming.

The Fourth Of July in Maysville will
be a great home coming day If the
present plans of the directors of the
Maysville Chamber of Commerce are
carried out. 1t Is hoped that the an
niversary of the nations freedom In
Maysville this year will be the largest
celebration that was ever held here on
that anniversary.
A very important meeting of the Di-
rectors of the local commercial organ
ization has been called for 1880 o'clock
this evening at the Chamber Of Com
merce building and at this meeting it
Is hoped that all final plans can be
made and that the working out of the
plans can be started.
1t Is the purpose of the directors to
make the day great day for the re-
turned soldiers of Mason county and
all other adjoining counties who will
attend. The big celebration will no
doubt be held in Beechwood Park and
plans for monster soldier parade are
also being considered.
One request that will be made of ev-
cry citizen is that they display their
patriotism on the Fourth of July by
displaying at their homes and their
places of business the American Flag.
The committee which will be in charge
of decoration will not likely ask for
any other kind of decoration except
general display of the flag but they
hope that every house in Maysville
will have flung to the breezes an
American Flag.
Details for the big celebration have
been discussed for several weeks and
1t is thought that at today's meeting
these can be presented in such form
that they can be adopted promptly
and the enforcement of the plans i'm
mediately begun. The managing COM
mittees are trying to keep away from
the speaking proposition as much as
possible. Folks have heard speeches
until they are tired, what they want is
something different and this is. what
will be attempted at the Mason Coun-
ty Fourth of July Celebration.
Make your plans now to attend and
watch for the development of the var
ious plans for an idea of what will be
going on here on that big day.

REPRESENTATIVE RACE
Is STILL OPEN

Although the states for state and
district offices have been closed, the
race for Representative is still open
and will be open until thirty days be-
fore the primary. The primary cleo
tion law has been construed to mean
that where man is a candidate in
but one county he can file his papers
with the County Clerk only and not
the Secretary of State.

REIGN OF TERROR
[Continucd from First Page ]

serve pu'Sic order became obvious
to the criminally inclined.
Banks and larger mercantile insti-
tutions were protected by their own
guards, but the small retailer was
at the mercy of mobs. Store win
dows, estimated to number 800, were
smashed in and goods by the arm
full carried away. Police Superin-
tendent Crowley placed the damage
done during the night at 100000.
Serious as is the present situation,
n greater fear is that other unions
will strike in support of the police
recruits to organized labor. Threats
that the street car, telephone and
lighting systems will be tied up IL
necessary to force matters for the
police. have been made and the pos
sibilities of the resulting situation
were described as appalling by many
to-day.
By proclamation Mayor Peters
to-day assumed control of the Bos-
ton police and called upon the Gov
ernor for troops to assist him in re-
storing and maintaining public
order.
Governor Coolidge promptly re-
sponded by calling out the Fourth
Brigade comprising the 18th, 18th
and 16 regiments Of infantry and n
machine gun company. At the same
time Mayor Peters acting under his
own authority under the law, by de-
mands on the commanders of the
units, summoned to his assistance
the one thousand soldiers stationed
in Boston and forming the Tenth
Regiment, motor corps and troop of
cavalry.

OF
SPROUL NORMAL
Governor Says That National
Bees Are Not Bothering
Him; For PenroSe

Governor Sproul, coming back to
his desk in the Capitol to-day after
an absence of several days in Phila-
delphia during which he was par
ticipant in the Knights of Templar
ceremonies and the target of many
interviews, took occasion to reiterate
that his political temperature was
normal
The Governor went through the
Legislature with his pulse not much
disturbed and his experiences at ma
tional meetings and at great ova-
tons have not caused it to be accele-
rated.
The Philadelphia Press to-day
quotes the Governor as saying:
About this time in a Governors
term there comes usually a period
of ambitious excitement The Gov
ernor has just finished his first ses-
sion of the Legislature and thinks
have mostly gone his way, as they
do in the first session. People are
patting him on the Back and the
whole thing has n tendency to put
him in q state of mind where he
says to himself: Give me new
worlds to conquer
"At this stage he is in danger of
being swept off his feet and losing
his balance. ! know that danger
and l hope 1 am not susceptible to
it.
MY political temperature at the
present moment is decidedly nor
NAL. / have no quickened pulse nor
any of the other symptoms of fever.
| am concentrating on the task of
being the best Governor know how
and letting the rest co.
How abut all this Presidential
talk in connection with your name?"
the Governor was asked
We'll, now" he replied, that
was u very nice compliment to me
and to Pennsylvania, but I am not
taking it seriously"
The Governor also said that the
fight against the Mcclure organiza-
ton in Delaware was not a fight
against Senator Penrose, as far as he
could see. He added that he believ-
ed those behind the Republican
League, which is the anti Mcclure
organization, would be in favor Of
returning Senator Penrose to Wash
ington, as far as he could diagnose
their intentions. At any rate, he
said the question of the Penrose
candidacy had never been dragged
into the present fight in any way.
