MASONCOUNTYGOES
OVER TOP WITH GOOD
0vER-SUBSCR|pT|ON
At Noon Saturday the County Had
Passed Its Quota Of $5SO,OOO In
the Fifth or Victory Loan
Observation-Disclosures
TO BE Large.

Just as she has done in all previous
Liberty Loans, Mason county has
again reached her quota and rolled up
substantial oversubscription for
Secretary W. W. Ball, Jr., at noon Sat
urday announced that the county had
already passed its quota and was 60
ing strong. Every few minutes Coun-
ty Headquarters would hear by tele-
phone or in person from some precinct
worker who had more sales to report.
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Ball said he
felt certain that Mason county's over
subscription would be between $685.
900 and $4,000, although this can
not be accurately determined before
the first of the week when the pre-
cinct workers will make their final re-
ports to the County Committee and
when the business of the entire cam
paign will be finally wound up.
Without any great effort the county
workers have again put Mason coun-
ty in the list as one of the most pa
triotic counties. in the entire state
There was no great big loud footing
of horns in the campaign in this coun-
ty but the various workers have gone
along quietly and have had no trou-
BILE at all in getting the patriotic folks
of Mason county to invest in the last
loan.
The county has had a very efficient
managing committee for this loan the
members of which have taken great
interest in seeing the thing 90 through
to successful finish.
When the loan first opened many
people said that the banks would have
to take the bonds but in Mason county
this has not been the case. The peo-
pie have purchased them literally
through the patriotic cooperation OF
the bankers.
Just as soon as all final reports are
received at County Headquarters here
the official total of Mason county
subscription will be announced.

MAYSv|LLE MAN IS
BAND LEADER IN WEST
Charley Stewart, Former Maysyllle
Man, Making Good as Band Dlrec-
tor In Iowa Town.

A Kellerton, Iowa, newspaper has
the following to say about their band
which is directed by Charley Stewart,
Maysville man:
fXellerton expects to put on Its first
ibank concert Saturday night, May 10,
by Aliens Band in the new Band
Stand, which is now being erected.
They have secured the best leader they
have had-Mr. Charles W. Stewart Of
Ft. Dodge, Iowa, who Is very strict
and is rue bringing the boys down to
business. There never has been known
such change in any band in Keller
ton in such a short time as Mr.. Stew
art has been capable Of doing with
the boys.
Artie Allen went to the business
men Monday morning with paper for
a new band stand and wagon, and the
way the business men contributed
would make every one take notice.
Captain ]. l.. Gooding furnished low
wheeled wagon and was like the lazy
man having the corn shelled, hehitch-
ed team to 1t and brought 1t right
into town. No fooling with Captain,
he's always there with the goods, Artie
says that many of the farmers gave
dollar. Auch as J. NJ. Walker, Billy
Merritt, George VanDriel, Rheuben
Sheldon, George Kuder, ]. N. Brown,
Frank and Clyde Mackey, Cort Lutz.
Mart Mannasmith, Roy Davis, W. L.
Cox, and when Smith came runnine
out of his store and handed him dol
lar and said, "See here Arte | haven't
contributed to the band wagon and
why didn't you ask me, want in. Now
then Artie saws that they are about $50
short on the band wagon yet and any
one feeling like handing he or any Of
the band boys a dollar, or at either
bank, to step right un and not be back
ward for Aliens band always takes the
money. And they want to say further
that the band extends their sincere
thanks to everyone who has so liber-
ally contributed to the band for the
monthly salary and the band wagon.
Band Leader Stewart says he will give
the citizens and farmers the music
they want this summer.

MANY STUDENTS TAKE
ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS

Many students in the county schools
have taken the entrance examinations
at the Court House during the past
two days for the Mason County High
Schools. These examinations are pre-
pared by the state and those students
who successfully pass the examina-
tions are admitted from the eighth
grades to the various County High
Schools. 1t is likely that the County
Board of Education will change the
plan of entrance to High Schools in
the near future.

torlan-COrrectiOns Asked.

The Kentucky State Historian has
sent a list of the men of Mason coun-
ty who have been reported wounded, to
County Historian Dodds with the re-
quest that any names that have been
omitted be added and errors of spell
ing be corrected. The list follows:
Luther F. Bare, Maysville.
Shafer Bowling, Rectorville.
John L. Bratton, Maysville.
James w. Cloe, Rectorville.
Fred Diener, Maysville.
Grover c. Frederick, Mayslick.
Leslie B. Clifford, Sardis.
James H. Graham, Maysville.
Joe Johnson, Maysville.
Charles Jones, Maysville.
william Kemper, Maysville.
Thomas B. McCann, Springdale.

Grand J. Walker. Maysville.

II is the general impression that
there were many other men from this

relatives of men wounded whose
names are not included in this list
should communicate this fact to Coun-
ty Historian Dodds at the Chamber Of
Commerce Immediately so that every
man who was wounded will have full
credit in the proposed history Of Ma
son county's past in the world war.
