nOLSTEIN SHOW HAS Been
QUITE INTERESTING
Mason County People Have Greatly
! Enjoyed Exhibit During Past
Week and Have Learned
Much About MIX.

The Holstein Show given all during
the week under the auspices Of the
Mason County Holstein Association at
Mike Browns store, has attracted
much attention from the county as
we'll as the city. The demonstrations
taught those who availed themselves
of the opportunity to attend that milk
was one Of the best of foods.
Special interest was taken in the
show when Mason county's champion
COW, Prilly Lyons De Kol. owned by
Mr.. william Newell. of the county,
was put on exhibition. Prilly has a
record of 21 pounds Of butter week
and has MIXED wonderfully all during
the exhibition being milked three
times each day.
Such exhibits as these are worth
much to the community and 1t is to be
hoped that the farmers Of Mason coun-
ty will cooperate with the movement
in making the Holstein the standard
breed of cattle in Mason county as
they have co-operated in the move
ment to make Rhode Island Reds the
standard breed of fowls.
Much of the success Of this show
and all like movements are due to the
work Of County Agent George Kirk
who is leading the Mason county farm
ers to see big things bigger.

AZORES SATURDAY
MORNING.

Ponta Del Gada, Azores, May H.
The seaplane NC-4 has landed at
Horta on the island Of Fayal of the
Azores group.
The landing was accomplished at
9:25 a. m, New York time.
Horta is about 100 miles from the
American base at Ponto Del Gada.
The seaplane NC-4, leading the
American transatlantic fight, first

The NC-1 was close behind.

The radio from the Craven said the
NC-3 was going at terrific speed, evi'

Flores is 800 miles from Ponta Del
Gada. 1t is estimated that the planes
are hurtling through the air at speed
approximately 95 miles an hour. i
that speed is maintained, navy officers
estimated, the planes, barring mishaps
should reach Ponta Delgada in less
than three and a half hours.
Navy officials here are amazed a
the achievement of the American air
craft during the first half of the Ions

The excitement grew as message

Attempt to Gross the Atlantic

the harbor through the nights as Of
fcers and men sat about athirst for
the latest news from the fiers. Des-
patch boats swept back and forth
across the bay between the mother
ship Melville and other warships.
Half-hourly bulletins were issued
on the progress of the historic flight.
These quickly were prepared, handed
to couriers on motor boats and dig<
tributed to the eagerly waiting marin
ers on all ships and to the watchers in
the city.
The men of the U. s. s. Buffalo,
of British troop ship, a Dutch war
vessel and of the many foreign craft
in the harbor lined the rails anxious
ly as the motor boats approached. AS
bulletin after bulletin indicated sue
cess, cheers went up from these ships.

nouncements were snatched resem-

world series or prize-fight returns.
"This is the greatest sporting event
in history" declared Captain Workman
as shouts from those keeping the all
night vigil floated over the bay. There
was heavy betting on the result In the
gambling houses of Ponta Del Gada.
All night long wagers were eagerly Of
fered and eagerly snapped up.
All kinds of odds were offered on
the success or failure Of the fight, the
length of time it would take, and on
which plane would be first to arrive.
Sailors from foreign ships in the
bay, Portuguese residents of the island
and picturesque townspeople mingled
in the gambling houses, shouldering
and posting in their anxiety to get
their bets down.
Pc Admiral Jackson invited the Ameri-
can consul and local and visiting dig
nitaries to view the finish from his
ship.
The morning was misty and visi-
bility low, but predictions were that
this afternoon it would be clearer.

WORKERS GETTING
READYFOR SPECIAL
ROAD TAX ELECTION
Meeting Of Precinct Workers and
Those Interested In Mason County
Road Election Held Saturday
Afternoon Shows Much
Interest.

That much interest Is being mani
tested in all parts of the county In the
coming election for a special twenty
cent tax for good road purposes was
proven by the attendance Of several
men chosen in the organization to
boost this election as precinct chair
men at meeting held at the Chamber
of Commerce building Saturday after
noon.
The purpose of this meeting was
simply to lay the matter before the
workers and to learn from them just
how things looked in their various
precincts. Reports were to the ef-
feet that there is much interest being
shown in the election and that this
special election is now the principle
topic of discussion at all gathering
places eclipsing even the trans-At-
lantic airship journey.
Those workers who met here Satur-
day were given some information on
the proposed election. They were
given some information on the pro-
posed election. They were given some
idea of what the Commissioners eD-
pected to do with the money gathered
by means Of the special tax and were
furnished with arguments in favor of
the voting "Yes" at the election.
Arrangements are being made by
the Speakers Bureau to begin at the
earliest possible date a series of talks
in various county precincts in which
arguments in favor Of the proposed ex-
ira tax will be presented. What other
counties in the state Of Kentucky are
doing in taking advantage Of the spe-
cial tax law and how Mason county's
pixies and roads can be wonderfully
improved will be shown in these series
of addresses.
Neighboring counties are making ar
rangements to take advantage Of this
new law by voting a special tax to i'm
prove their roads and Mason county
boosters are very anxious that our
county shall not be behind them in i'm
proved roads and pixies. -
There was very good number OF
farmers in Maysville Saturday and the
road tax seemed to be the chief topic
