ALUMNI BANQUET
WILDE HELD TONIGHT
At THE HIGH SCHOOL
Major Charles McClanahan VIII Tell
OF Some Of His Experiences In
Europe During the World War
Last Event Of Com.
mencement Week.

Although the program for Com
mencement week so far as the gradu-
ates are concerned closed Thursday
evening with the Commencement pro-
gram, there is yet one big event which
will bring down the curtain on most
successful week. This will be the
banquet of the M. H. s. Alumni Asso'
citation to be given at the High School
building this evening.
The graduates of 10 will be given
an honored place at the banquet board
and very attractive program has
been arranged. Several Of the former
graduates of the Maysville High
School will be on the program but
probably the most interesting will be
the address by Major Charles McClan-
ahan, just recently returned from Eu-
rope, who will tell something of his
experiences in the world war.
Following the banquet the former
students will have a period of socia-
bility and will probably indulge in
dancing for time.
The program for the evening fol-
lows:
Welcome Address-President Alum
ni-Francis Hopper, 1915.
Response-President Glass 1873
Raymond Dawson.
Toasts.
Toastmaster-W. J. Caplinger.
The Glory of the Common Place
B. H. Greenlee, 1905.
Kings and Cabbages-Scottie Stew
enson, 1914.
Pills and Pill Boxes-Dr. Charles
McClanahan, 1909.
G Music-Miss Addie Boyd, Ellsworth
Cablish, Harold Caplinger.
Fred Bassett, well known entertain
er, will be present to tell some of his
high class Jokes.

GOOD ROADSELECTION
WILDE HEIDI THIS
COUNTY SATURDAY
Much Interest Manifested In Twenty.
Cent Road Tax Election In Mason
County-Late Indications Are
That Vote VIII Be Close.

Special election on the Twenty Cent
road tax issue will be held In Mason
county on Saturday when the people
OF the county will be given an oppor-
tunity to express themselves on the
question OF whether or not they will
vote special tax Of twenty cents on
the hundred dollars of taxable prop
erty for the speciai purpose of improv-
ing the roads and pixies of the county.
The question has been thoroughly
discussed all over the county. Tax
payers have been talking among them
selves on the matter and speakers
have visited every precinct in the
county and have presented to the vot-
ers the various phases of the subject.
The matter has been misunderstood
by many who believe that it is a twen-
ty per cent tax instead of a twenty
cent tax. The tax does not mean
twenty per cent of the assessed valu-
alton of the property but only twenty
cents on each one hundred dollars of
assessed property.
Friday was spent in personal work
by the County Good Roads organiza-
ton. In automobiles they visited most
every part Of the county and present
ed arguments in favor of the tax to
many of the prominent voters of the
county. A splendid organization is
said to have perfected and it is ex-
pected that these workers will be at
the polls early Saturday and stay late
presenting arguments in favor of the
extra tax.
Politicians, who know the workings
of things, say that if there is rain
there will be very light vote as the
farmers will be busy in their fields
but if it remains clear, they say
there will be good vote cast and a
close contest is expected if this is the
case.
The organization men who have
been pushing the election over the
county report that within the past
week sentiment has changed wonder
fully in favor of the tax and they feel
certain that it will carry in the most
Of the precincts.
The City of Maysville is expected to
give the tax large majority as most
of the citizens of Maysville are anx-
ious for good roads under most any
plan because they want the highways
to Maysville improved to attract peo-
pie here. The users of automobiles

COAL SHORTAGE THIS WINTER

The County Agent has received no.
tice from the Bureau of Markets that
there will be a serious shortage of
coal this year Farmers are urged
to haul their coal at the earliest op-
portunity, as it may be extremely diff

early buying insure supply to the

take better care of his customers.

"JUST GOT HERE"

The story is told of the great fight
at Chateau Thierry, when the French
were holding the right and the Brit
ish the left, and the Germans had
broken through just where the two
arms joined, and the order had been
given to retreat. In the meantime the
American brigade was ordered up to
stop the gap, and as they came up,
right in the opening they met the
French streaming back on the right,
with tears in their eyes, saying,
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-02-18

If you think you are beaten, you
are; If you think you dare not, you
don't-If you like to win and don't
think you canzit's almost a cinch
that you won't. If you think you'll
lose, you're lost. For out in the
world we find-Success begins with
fellows will; It's all in state of
the mind. Full many race is lost,
ere even a step is run,-And many a
coward fails-Ere even his work is
begun. Think big and your deeds
will grow,-Think small and you
will fall behind Think that you
can and you will Its all in the
state Of mind. If you think you're
out -classed you are;-You've got to
think high to rise. You have got to
be sure of yourself before-You can
ever win O prize. Lies battles

on the left were the British, logged
ly retreating and fighting at every
step, being killed. And those Amer
lean boys, like a trained football
team, drove through the opening.
They took their stand, and the col
onel Of one regiment was approach
ed by a high officer Of the French
army, who said, "Sir, don't you know
the order to retreat has been given !?
You will be ruined, and your men
will be annihilated if you don't re-
treat. Go back and retreat" And
the American colonel said, "Oh,
hell, 1 just got here"
That was the spirit.

ton Of Europe, heretofore under the
hand of autocracy, have tasted of
the sweets Of liberty.
On most Of them it has had much
the same effect as the Mexican loco
weed has upon the longhornco
steers Of the Sonora plains.
1t has stampeded the whole outfit.
Set them milling around in circles.
Running amuck as it we're and gor-
ing each other right and left with
out discrimination or regard for
past associations. Fired them with
the blood lust:
And out Of it all must conc
eventually a greater respect in the
heart of kings for the rights Of their
subjects. A wiping out of absolute
monarchy and Ii TIE ooPpFFrrcsss;cns end
extortions that have stood second in
the list of divine rights.
Incidentally boom for the form
of government planned and so ably
executed under the direction of
Uncle Sam.
y 1t may be some little while delay
ed, but one of these days sooner or
later kingdoms and principalities
and monarchies are going to be
tossed finally and completely into
the discard.
Folks are going to rule them
selves. Governments are going to
be representative. Might isn't go
ing to keep on forever being right.
Uncle Sam is largely responsible
for this. 1t has cost us something
like $2O,O0O,0OO,OOO to teach the
world its lesson. 1t will cost us
another eight or ten billion to COM
plete. But to the world, to us, to
humanity in general, it is a bargain.
For it was a freeman who said
"Give me liberty or give me DEATH"
Every free man echoes that SEN
timent today.
Let every free man support it
with his dollars in the coming Vic
tory Liberty Loan.
