HECTOR ON
BATTLE-GROUND

Young Hector. The Bremerton
heavyweight. showed up In Seattle
yesterday. Hector was originally
billed to fight Frank FarSner. the
Tscoma veteran. ut the Crystal Pool
last night. but ran out on a contract
with Austin and salt. Hector says he
didn't know he was supposed 20 have
come over 20 Seattle Thursday TO 20
before the boxing commission after
he saM he w1s willing TO boz.
Charley Hulen. secretary OF the com
misston, says he talked TO Hector
over the long distance phone and
Hector said he was coming over on
the late boat that day. Something
fishy somewhere. At noon yesterday
Hector emphatically stated that he
didn't want to fight that night and
at the Crystal Pool at 3 y. m. he
showed up with his ring toys and
wanted 10 meet Farmer. Hector
surely needs a guardian and the
sooner he gets one the batter. II
the boxing commission sticks 20 their
original ruling that barred Hector
for Elk months. Hector won't need n
manager as far as Seattle boxing
circles are concerned.

LABOR INSPECTOR HERE TO
INSPECT Law enforcement
Miss Mynne Wagers, Assistant State
Labor Inspector, VIII See II the
Child Labor Law Is Being
Enforced In Maysville.

Miss Mynne Wagers, of Lexington,
assistant state labor inspector, is ex-
pected in Maysville today to begin a
careful inspection of local stores, fac
tories and shops to learn first hand
whether or not the state labor law as
1t Affects children is being properly
enforced by the local officials and
properly respected by manufacturers
and merchants.
Miss Wagers is on tour of several
towns and cities in this section and
while In Maysville will probably make
trips to nearby towns which are small
er In size to take in the. entire situa-
tion. Miss Wagers will go from Mays.
Vile to Augusta and Cynthiana while
in this section. She will probably be
in Maysville some five or six days and
VIII visit all stores, shops and factor,
les employing labor while here.
Miss Wagers says that much of thu
law violation is In small cities ant
towns where some stores keep oper
late at night, employing women an,
children longer hours than the stat,
law allows. Saturday nights som,
small town stores remain open as lat
as midnight, working employees severa
hours over time, she says.

COUNTY SCHOOL. ENROLMENT
SHOWS INCREASE over 1918
Many More Pupils Are Enrolled In the
Mason County Schools This Year
Than Last-Mayslick School
Leads All Others.

County schools opened in full blast
on Monday and the enrolment in prac-
tically every school in lne county
shows a decided increase over the en-
rollment Of last year. Especially is
this increase noticeable in the Con
solidated High Schools of the county.
Mayslick Consolidated High School
leads all others in Mason county with
a total enrolment of 314 pupils in all
departments while the other High
Schools follow close behind with
marked increases.
Superintendent Turnipseed Is very
much encouraged over the reports he
has received and Is looking forward
to the most successful term the Mason
county schools have ever had. The
schools got started this year under
better conditions than ever before
They have a full corps Of teachers and
the only hindrance that the schools
have now is that the full supply OF
new books as ordered by the School
Book Commission are not in the hands
of the dealers but these are expected
before the end of the present week.
