BAILEY seen At A DANCE
NIGHT BEFORE DISAPPEARED
Police Following Out Every Clue They
Can Pick Up But Missing Lewis
County Farmer Is Not Yet
Located.

It became known today that John
Bailey, Petersville farmer who disap-
peared mysteriously here two weeks
ago when he delivered load of to-
bacco to the Maysville market, attend
ed dance in the Sixth Ward the
night before his disappearance.
Bailey is thought to have been
drinking on that night and people liv-
1g near Carmel street say that they
y him at a neighborhood dance.
Late in the evening he left the dance
with two other men who were known
to the residents of the Sixth Ward
and since that time no trace of Bailey
can be found.
The police will probably investigate
this clue today and after finding the
men who left the dance with Bailey
they are hoping to be able to learn
where he spent the night and what
became Of him the next day.

At least II persons-a woman, a

TOBACCO GROWERS

Maysville was filled to overfowing
with tobacco growers today. It look
cd like circus day on East Second
street for the farmers who were con-
tinually moving from the business
district to the tobacco district filed
the sidewalks. All of the farmers
wore big smiles for the price Of to-
bacco was keeping up and there Is no
indication that 1t will not keep up to
the very high figure now set until the
end Of the present season.
The great rush on the market this
week is probably occasioned by the
growers who are anxious to get their
crops delivered and sold while the
price is high. The warehouses were
again today blocked of and still the
weed comes in each pike.
Prices were kept up again today
and 1t is reported that they we're just
as satisfactory as they have been all
day. The high price again today was
$S5 per hundred pounds.
Sales were held at the Home, Farm

BARROW HOSPITAL UNIT
MAyaE1vRN IN3 MONTHS
Lieutenant in Kentucky Hospital
Corps Says It WIN Be Last to
Return ID America

First Lieutenant Thomas M. Marks,
Of Base Hospital Unit No. 40 who Ia at
Lexington on a sick leave, said We'd
nesday that It was his opinion that
the unit would return to this country
to DO mustered out Of the service
within three months.
Base Hospital Unit No. 40, COM
posed entirely of men from Lexington
and Central Kentucky, occupies hos
pital building at Salisbury Court,
Hants, England, and this Is the only
hospital which was bought by the
United States government on English
soil.
Because Of the fact that this site Is
owned by the government, this unit
will be the last to return to this
country. Other hospitals rented by
the United States in England were
closed on or before December 15 by
an order Of the War Department and
patients which could not be sent home
were transferred to Hospital 40.
AS soon as these patients can be
gotten in condition to travel, the unit
will be sent back to this country.
A number of rumors concerning the
movement Of Hospital 40 have been
current since November, the first stat
ing that it would be sent to Russia,
this rumor proved false, and another
stating that the unit would be moved
to French soil was then current. How
ever, this rumor is also thought
groundless, according to Lieutenant
Marks.
improvements have been in prog
ress on the building since its occupa-
ton by the American unit and upon
the signing of the Armistice, all work
of this nature was stopped. The hos
pital is now thoroughly equipped to
accommodate 1000 patients and when
Lieutenant Marks left England on De-
cember 8, it was about filled.
Ashby Porter and John Marsh OF
this city, are members of the Barrow
Unit.

which reviews the past work of the
council and outlines the important

struction which lie ahead. In the
course of his article be quotes from
the recent letter of Pope Benedict
XIV, to the American bishops, in
which they are exhorted to carry on
the work, and place it on a perma-
nent basis through two commissions,
to be appointed at the annual meet
ing of the bishops. One of these
commissions is to deal with social
questions ard the other with educa-
tional problems. so urgent is the
call to a jealous and persistent econ
omico-social activity" writes the
pope, that we need not further ex-
hort you in this matter. Be watch
full, however, lest your iocks, carried
away by vain opinions and noisy 6
tation, abandon to their detrlment
the Christian principles established
by our predecessor of happy memory,
Leo XIII, in his Encyclical Letter,
Rerum Novarum. More perilous than
ever would this be at the present
moment, when the whole structure
of human society Is in danger. and

than 50,ooo.ooo pesos (s25,ooo,o ,oO0) Of
the banks metallic reserves. Prior to
that time, Mr. McCaleb said, the banks
had lost heavily because Of the Car
rama decrecs, which forced them to
accept the deprecated fiat currency of
the revolutionary government as legal
tender.
"Beingefcrced to receive in payment
this fiat currency worked serious losses
to the banks" said the witness. "This
paper fell in time to such low price
in the markets that it could be bought
for insignificant sums. Debtors to
banks naturally availed themselves of
the opportunity to purchase the paper
and pay their obligations to the banks.
"To illustrate, the Banco Nacional
suffered losses of approximately 30,-
100000 pesos ($15O00,o0O) through
transactions Of this character, but it
was able to recoup 100000 Of this loss
through liquidating deposits with fiat
currency and through the purchase Of
it's own notes with the cheap paper.
In short, the Banco Nacional stood
loser in the sum Of 23,0O0,000 pesos
(s11,50 oo0o) in round figures. If the
other banks of the country suffered in
similar measure it may be estimated
that the banks lost In round numbers
probably 50000,000 pesos ($25, 900 000).
Indeed this may be far under the losses
actually to be traced to fiat currency
operations"
Mr.. McCaleb said that when the fiat
currency deprecated to the point where
it was utterly useless and metal money
was forced out of its hiding places the
Carranza government found itself with
out funds. Then the banks Of issue
were taken over.
"The metallic reserves were imme-

Mr.. McCaleb. "Up to September 80,
1918. the Carranza government had bor-
rowed from the banks 53,162033.95
pesos ($26,581, 1867"

was asked.
