and Tobacco Fair.

A very important meeting of the
managing committee and the interest
ed business men has been called for
the Chamber of Commerce building
Thursday evening when plans for the
1919 Corn and Tobacco Fair will be
discussed thoroughly.
Mr.. Louis Merz, who Is chairman of

Committee and director of the Cham
ber of Commerce In charge of this
event, has just returned from the East
and action thus far on the big show
has been postponed pending his return
to Maysville. Nc. Merz will be pres

more than likely that something de-
finite toward fixing the dates and the
place of holding the fair will be done.
Lexington has selected the first
week in November for the holding of a
great fair in that city and, other tobac-
co cities throughout the state of Ken
lucky will this year follow Maysville's
lead and have such fairs. Maysville,
however, is the original tobacco fair

MAYSVILLE: GIRL
MYSTERIOUSLY Dis.
APPEARS IN EAST
Miss Louise Fox Has Been Missing
Since 1880 O'clock Saturday Night
Eastern Detectives Unable
To Locate Her.

Local relatives are anxiously await
ing word from Baltimore in regard to
the mysterious disappearance there
on last Saturday evening of Miss
Louise Fox, granddaughter of Mrs.
David Hechinger, Of this city. The
young lady's mother, who had been
visiting here, and her uncle, Mr.. Ferd
Hechinger, local clothing merchant,
have both gone to Baltimore to assist
in the search for the young lady which
is covering the entire city of Baltimore
and other other Eastern cities.
Miss Fox, who spent the summer
here in Maysville, left this city on last
Tuesday for New York where she was
to enter Columbia University for this
season. She stopped off in Baltimore
to visit couple of uncles en- route to
her school.
About 1880 o'clock Saturday evening
she left the home Of one of her uncles
without coat or hat and relatives
thought she had either gone onto the
street to mail letter or had run over
to the home of the other uncle, which
is nearby. After some length of time
Miss Fox did not return and her uncle
became somewhat anxious about her
He called the home of the other uncle
to see what was OBTAINING the young
lady and learned that she had not been
there. The uncle then thought that
she might have stepped out to spend
the night with girl friend and was
not so much worried until Sunday
when the young lady did not return.
After waiting reasonable length Of
time he asked the assistance OF the
Baltimore detective force to locate her
and notified her mother here by wire
Of the disappearance.
Mrs. Fox went to Balimtore Monday
and Mr.. Ferd Hechinger, her brother,
followed her Tuesday. All Of the po-
lice and detectives of the city of Bal
timore are doing their best to find a
trace of the missing girl but have
thus far met with no success.
A telegram from Mr. Hechinger to
his family here this morning stated
that thus far no trace of Miss Fox had
been found. The family this after
noon stated that they had heard moth
ing more about the matter but that
they were expecting a message most
any time.
The mystery about the young lady's
| disappearance Is very deep one and
the officials have as yet been unable
to formulate a good theory in regard
| to the matter. The Eastern newspa-
pers are featuring the story In an ef-
fort to assist the family in locating
the girl.
Miss Fox was about 1S years Of age
and a most attractive young lady. She
had hundreds of friends In Maysville
who, with the family. anxiously await
news from the Eastern city.

BROWN COUNTIANS
WILL HONOR THEIR
BASEBALL HERO
Great Delegation of Brown County
Fans Going to Cincinnati Sunday to
Honor "Scatter' Sallee.

In recognition of the plendid work
that Harry Sallee, otherwise known
to his many Brown county friends as
SCATTER" has done for the Reds this
season the management of the Gin
cinnati base ball club has designated
Sunday, September 21st as Sallee day.
Sal will pitch against Brooklyn on
that day and 1t is certain that a tre-
mendous crowd will be out to do him
honor on this occasion. The fact that
the Reds are at present certain of the
pennant in the Senior League is due in
no small measure to the splendid re-
suits which manager Pat Moran has OBJ
tanned from his pitching staff this sea-
son and Sallee who is a native Of Hig-
ginsport, Brown county, has more
than contributed his share OF games
won. Sporting editors in all parts OF
the country, now that Cincinnati is oc-
cupying the limelight Of the base ball
world, are commenting on his fine
work and his name is being continu-
ously mentioned as the most likely
twirler to start off the world series
for the Reds.
The c. G. and P. R. r. has pub
lished special excursion rates to Gin
cinnati from Georgetown for next
Sunday and is arranging for additional
cars to take care of the travel from
Georgetown and vicinity, which will
result. Arrangements have also been
made with the Cincinnati club for the
sale at Carrel Street Station of re-
served seat tickets for Sundays game
SO that all parties can be assured of
getting in to witness the game for the
park will be filled If the usual Sunday
crowd is out Seats can be had on ar
rival of the excursion cars due at Car
rel Street Station at 1880 in the
morning, provided that local fans
make reservations through. Two sec
tions of the stands are being held out
SO that Brown county fans can root to-
gether and many from the river towns
plan to attend and take part in the
big celebration. =.

ton that the treaty with the covenant, will be ratified. The effect of the Presi- dents swing around the circuit is ex- pected to be startling, so startling that the succeeding efforts of Senators Borah, Johnson, Reed and others cannot dim it's lustre. And again, there is no ques- tion, it is authoritatively stated, that cer- tain senators will support the Knox res clution, and in the event of it's failure, fail to oppose ratification of the treaty.
 It has already been printed in this cor respondence that democrats and repub- licanS are lined up, the former in favor of and the latter against the treaty. The democrats will lose Reed, it has al ready been stated and the republicans will lose McCumber and McNary. The republicans claim Senator Gore, but Sen ator Gore has not committed himself, and the story that Senator Chamberlain
 is "shaky" cannot be confirmed. It is claimed by democrats that Senator Nor ris will support the league on the final test. Senator Coats, able and independent, may not support the Knox resolution, and will, it is strongly indicated, support the treaty. And it is said to be true tf-at Senator Mclean, if the Knox reso- lution fails. will support the treaty con taining the covenant
 At the same time. the opposition, as presently constituted. must crumble ur like a shot bird if the treaty wins. For it must dwindle from what is possibly a majority to one-third minority.

If the debate which preceded our Declaration of Indepen- dence ragged for almost decade before the revolution: if the debate over the meaning of the constitution as to the powers of the nation and the rights of the states lasted for generations and is not yet ended; if every great question in every free country has required long period of discussion and thought before the people could reach a conclusion on it, should not this. one of the most funda- mental and far-reaching proposals ever made to the American people. also receive careful and extended examination before the people are called upon to give their assent?
 eff the covenant be not good thing, certainly the agitated days following a great war should not be seized upon to burden the country with a policy which it has not examined and which is no nee essary part of the making of peace.
 ''Why, then, this undue haste? Do those of you who wish to prevent the people from deliberately considering this propo- sition mean to suggest that pending such consideration we would neglect any duty we owe to the world because we had not by formal writing bound ourselves to it's performance?
