lowing week.
The Woodmen are endeayorine to

and enjoyment, little cOmmeneration
of the fact that the war has been sue
.cessfully concluded and that our boys
are coming back from the Fields OF
France to again take up the every
day affairs of living.
This celebration is to take the form
of what has been known as street
fair.
There will be various amusements
under different tents and small
amount OF admission will be charged
at each tent. and there will be diff
ferent booths where one may try for
dolls and candy or other things.
The amusements will open on Sat
urday afternoon the 18th at about 2:3O
o'clock. During the following week
the performances will open about I:3O
but in all probability the riding de-
vices will be III operation every aft
ernOon so that the little tots can come
out while it is warm.
Among other things will be an old
time MINSTREL Show with genuine
Southern Darkies as performers where
the old Darked comes back to his
home to die-and tells his Grand chill
dren Dat de money dat grOwed on
the trees up moth grOwed too high for
me to reach Chillens.'
Then there will probably be the
Wild man from BOrneo, and the Fat
woman from Alaska-and the danger
Gus reptiles from the jungleS of Africa
cor America) and side shows with the
usual array of monkeys and other
species of the animal kingdom.
The Ferris wheel where you go up
among the stars and the Merry go
round the childrens delight.
The Ladies of the Woodmen Circle
are going to take care of all corners
with coffee or chocolate and, | know,
home made cake at so much per. OF
course all of us will patronize them
for we are sure to find something
good there.
Mrs. Smith the genial guardian of
Orange Circle No. 8, stated that she
would be back home Saturday, and
would start things off at their refresh
ment booth.
The Home Committee of the Wood
men are making all effort to give
their friends and town people an en-
tertainment a little different from
the general run of amusements, also
affording everybody a chance to get
together and enjoy themselves.
Gradually after having lived on such
a high plane for so lOng-as every
lone's duty has compelled them to live
during this war for humanity
people will drop back to the humdrum
every day things of life-But in drop
ping back into the old accustomed
grove-is it not well to stop minute
and rejoice-rejoice that Democracy
has not persisted from the face of the
EARTH" rejoice that the sacrifice OF
our dear ones has been so small as
compared with that of other nations
and last but not least let us rejoice
that the land our forefathers fought
and died for and finally placed among
the nations has grown to be the sup
port and advocate among the nations
of the world of democracy not alone
for democracy's sake but for hui
manity's sake.

ture and 1t is therefore hoped that all

Another very important matter to
come up at this meeting will be the
laying of plans for the two big poul-
try shows to be held in connection
with the Germantown and the Ewing

is looked upon as a Mason county fair

Live Musical Comedy.

L. B. Parker's latest military must
cal spectacle "My Sammy Girl" which
Is the attraction at the Washington
Theater tonight is said to be typical
of this prolific writers very best style
and as such cannot but be interesting
In the extreme. The musical num-
bers, of which there are score, are
Of the knid that get into your mind
and refuse to be dislodged and one
finds they come to you Involuntary
on any or no excuse for whistling.
It is hard to say at just what time
military musical comedy became the
vogue, but it is said George McCohan
was the first to adopt this style of
theatricals, but whoever it was there
is no question as to its popularity
with the public.
Messrs. Kilroy and Britton. the pro-
ducers of this new military musical
comedy have spared no expense in
mounting the play in truly magnifl-
cent manner. The cast which is head
ed by Miss Madeline Lefere is one of
exceptional merit. Miss Lefere IS wei
remembered here for her excellent
work in the title role of "The Cowboy
Girl" and those who admired her in
this play will be even more pleased
with her in the title role of 'My Sam
my Girl"

KENTUCKY WILL
DO ITS PART BY
THE SUFFERING
War.Swept Jews VIII Receive GoOdly
Sum Through Special Campaign
Local Committee Now
mt Work.

Kentucky has once again Demon
strated her willingness and her abil-
ity to put over successful and glor-
ious campaign for the relief Of suffer-
Ing humanity.
The approaching end or the state
wide campaign for the relief of mil
lions Of Jewish men and women and
children in the war-swept districts Of
eastern Europe points to successful
result.
Everywhere throughout the state
the spirit Of unity observed through
out all similar campaigns in the state
has been uppermost in the minds Of
all. Non-Jews Of all faiths have work.
ed In close cooperation with jews.
Men and women belonging to all pro-
LESSONS and in all walks of life have
not hesitated to respond to the call
for organization and active solicita-
ton for funds. No less significant has
been the response of those solicited.
Everywhere there has been displayed
the splendid spirit of liberality.
The money raised during this cam
paign will prove like mama from
heaven to the millions Of starving out
casts who know no home but wagon,
no roof but the sky, no clothing save
the few miserable rags that cling to
their almost naked bodies.
The campaign will be of great help
to Kentucky as 1t will prove an I'M
told blessing to the starving millions
of Jewish people in Eastern Europe
in that it once more brings together
in a united drive the people of the
state working in common cause.
Like. bread cast upon the waters,
the effects of the campaign will con-
tinue for all time to come, and will
form an enviable chapter in the his
tory of the Commonwealth.
The local committeeman have al
ready begun their work and are said
to be meeting with much success. Dur
ing the balance of this week very
intensive campaign will be waged and
the campaign will be brought to a
whirlwind close on Sunday when ev-
cry person living in the city will be
seen and given an opportunity to con
tribute to this most worthy cause.

chosen from the various wards to as

INTEREST RUNS
HIGH At the
CARNIVAL LOT
Barkoots Big Carnival Is Attracting
Large Crowds Who Spend Their
Money Liberally-Sows Are
Worth the Money.

The Barkoot Shows are having a
dandy business on the Donovan lot
where they are appearing for the
benefit Of the Odd Fellows, this Is by
far the best Carnival Company ever In
Maysville, and one that deserves the
patronage Of all.
A percentage OF all the business
done goes to the Committee OF Odd
Fellows who will turn 1t over to their
Orphans Home, and is very worthy
cause.
The Whip is attracting the attention
of all, and is being enjoyed by old as
we'll as young, this is a ride that costs
tremendous sum, and is carried by
very few carnivals, but Is usually
found in large amusement parks.
The big u. s. A. show is attracting
lots Of attention, that Is where that
troupe Of Russian dancers appears, In
the dances Of their country. This
attraction certainly appeals to the
ladies and has been packed and jam
med.
The show beautiful, Superba, has
enjoyed nice patronage, as well as
the Orient, and that old Plantation
or Dixie Land Minstrels where those
funny singers, dancers and cake walk
ers hold forth has taken well.
Betty, the Alligator Girl, has every
body guessing, her mother travels
with her and gives an interesting lee
ture, telling how Betty came in to this
world, she was born in Georgia twen-
ty-two years ago, weighs 220 pounds
and does not realize her condition
She neither walks or talks, has the
skin of an Alligator, sheds it every
July and August just the same as an
Alligator does, eats her food, drinks
her water as you or l would.
The concessions carried by this
show are above the average, one finds
everything that you find in the coun-
try's largest amusement parks and ev-
cry one who visits the Barkoot Shows
and don't enjoy themselves should see
their doctor.
The music is furnished by Miller's
Concert Bands which Is one of the best
bands heard here with any show, and
they help liven up the midway with
their circus music.
The shows will remain here until
Saturday night, and will then move to
Springfield, Ohio. We are informed by
the management that if Maysville will
furnish trackage to take care Of their
train that they will ship here in the
fall and make this their winter home
Mr.. McCarty, one Of the managers
says that Maysville Is the best town
he ever saw and has the best people
He is we'll known here as is also Mr.
X. G. Barkoot himself. This woult
be quite an addition to the CONNER.
