Begin AN INTENSIVE
CAMPAIGN monday
Effort WIN Be Made to Procure at
Least 800 Members to Mason Coun-
ty Farmers Organization
Campaign Closes on
October 4th.

An intensive campaign Will begin
on Monday of next week for increas-
ing the membership of the Mason
County Farm Bureau, an organizaton
which was organized in this city only
a few weeks ago but which In this
short time has grown to a member
ship of over one hundred farmers.
The campaign will be put on sys-
tematically under the direction OF the
officers of the organization and dur
ing the campaign period which Will
extend from Monday until October A.
every farmer in Mason county will be
given, an opportunity to become a
member of the bureau. Campaign
teams composed of the present mem
bers of the bureau, will canvass every
precinct in the county and call at ev-
cry farm house.
The worth of the organization to
the farmers of the county Is well
known to every man in the county.
ltS WOrtn mas ueeh ueinohS'i aeSo sN'
eral times recently and it is a we'll
known fact that through cooperation
the farmers can better work and bet
ter accomplish those things which
they have long known needed to be ac-
complished for the betterment of farm
life. The bureau Is not a selfish or
ganization, organized for the purpose
of putting any one out of business but
to help the farmers Of the county keep
In business.
The officers hope to increase the
membership in this drive to at least
800 members and these farmers are
30 very much interested in the move
ment that it is pretty safe to say II
will be done.

LOUISE FOX FOUND
AT HOME OF FRIEND
IN CANTON, OHIO
Mrs. Louise Fox Bushfield Had Be-
come Distracted Fearing Marriage
Would Make 1t Impossible For
She and Her Husband to
Finish School.

A Canton. Ohio, dispatch says: Fol-
lowing a countrywide search, Mrs.
Louise Fox Bushfield of Maysville,
KY, was found late yesterday In this
city. She disappeared In Baltimore
ten days ago while on her way to at
tend Columbia university. She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. D. Fox
of Maysville. Since her disappearance
1t was disclosed that sne was married
to George Irwin Bushfield, a student
at Columbia university
Mrs. Bushfield cried when confront
ed by her father and husband yester-
day. She accompanied her husband
to New York She said she had be-
come distracted because she had kept
the secret Of her marriage from her
parents. She feared that II her mar
riage was revealed her husband and
herself would be unable to complete
their courses at Columbia university.
Maysville relatives when asked in
regard to the telegram this morning
stated that the telegram was true. The
young lady had been found at the
home Of a friend in suburb Of Canton
late Tuesday evening where she had
been for several days. She was found
by her father, husband and an opera
tive of Baltimore detective agency.
The young lady said she had almost
lost her mind worrying over her mar
riage not being known by her rela-
tives and this accounts for the melan-
choly she suffered from while in Mays
vile the past summer.
The locating OF the young woman
who has been missing since September
13-ten days-is a great relief to her
immediate family and her many
friends in Maysville who feared she
had met some bad end.

Two Short Plays to be Given
in Wolf Hall Nov. 20

The Sophomore English class of
the Women's College of Delaware
will produce two short plays in
Wolf Hall, on the evening Of No
vember twentieth, "Abraham and
Isaac" the first play, is a miracle
play written in the fifteenth CEN
tury by an unknown author. The
story, based on the story of Abra-
hams Sacrifice of his only son,
Isaac, brings out the human feel
ing of the two main characters, in
a way which perhaps has been pre-
viously unthOught Of
The second play, "Everyman," is
a morality play of uncertain ori-
gin, also written in the fifteenth
century. The play tells the story
of EverVman's experiences in his
search for friends who will accom-
pany him to the grave. The search
seems in vain, but as the play
draws to a close he finally discov-
ers friends, who are true until the
very end.
Further details, including cast
and executive staff, will be giver
at later date.

The cessation of hostilities die
not by any means mean a cessa
