A Fine Wheat Prospect.

Reports from different parts OF the
county indicate that the 1919 wheat
crop will surpass that of any former
year by 2 good margin. The winter
was ideal wheat weather, with plen-
ty of moisture and not cold enough
to freeze the wheat out OF the
ground. Except for the fear ex-
pressed by few farmers that the
growth is SO rank and heavy that it
will fall down everybody is satisfied
with the outlook.

All Day Missionary Meeting at First
Baptist Church Is Very Interest,"
ing-Women Enthusiastic
In Work.

The all day Missionary meeting held
Saturday at the First Baptist church
was great success in every way De-
spite the very inclement weather,
there was good sired audience pres
ent to hear all of the various discus
sions on Missionary work fostered by
the women of the Baptist churches
within the bounds of the Southern
Baptist Convention.
The leaders of the various subjects
had made special preparation for their
discussion and had called to their as
sistance other women of the society
and church who through readings and
talks strengthened the plea for the
various forms of missions under dis
cussion by that leader.
At noon a splendid lunch was
served by the women and number Of
the husbands of the women attending
and on the program joined them in the
noon day meal.
After noon the program was con-

MILITARY TRAINING
FOR STUDENTS OF
HIGH SCHOOL HERE
City School Head Is Notified by Con.
gresham That War Department
VIII Furnish Military Instruc.
tor For Local High
School.

The Maysville High School stu
dents will be given benefit of military
training according to telegram re-
ceived late Friday by Superintendent
W. j. Caplinger, Of the city schools.
The message came from Hon. w. J..
Fields, Congressman for this district
and was quite surprise to all. For
while 1t was known that representa-
tive Of the War Department had been
here to discuss the matter with school
authorities and was favorably i'm
pressed, 1t was hardly thought that
action would be taken so quickly.
This action of the War Department
means that there will be special
military instructor furnished by the
War Department in the High School.
This instructor will be West Point
graduate and will instruct the young
men in military tactics. 1t is expect
ed that many Of the young men STU
dents will be entered in the course
and it is understood that the govern
ment will furnish all young men en-
tered with uniforms and full army
equipment. Besides receiving their
tuition free there will be an allow
ance made by the government. Just
the amount Of this allowance is not
known for certain but it is probable
that the amount will be in the neigh
borhood of thirty dollars
The time for the arrival in Mays
vile Of the instructor has not been
fixed but he will probably be here in a
short time to begin his work. 1t is
understood that a summer camp will
be established so that the young men
can get in their practise during the
summer vacation months

NOTICE
TO STOCKHOLDERS OF THE PEG.
PIES BUILDING ASSOCIATION

At meeting of the Directors, held
upon Friday, March 7, 1919, by a
unanimous vote, the Bylaws we're so
amended that the Annual Meeting and
Election will fall upon the first Friday
in July, at 4 p. m, each year, instead
of the first Friday in May, as has here
fore been the custom. This will prove
a great convenience to shareholders,
by getting dividends at time to meet
July bills. 1t will facilitate the rem
dering Of reports, and Is altogether
desirable.
Dividends will, in the future, be
paid on June 30th of each year. No
dividends will be paid on May 1st,
1919, but, instead, fourteen Q4
months dividend will be paid to all
stockholders on June 80, 1919. A
new series will be opened July 1st of
each year, in the future, instead of
May 1st, as heretofore.

TOBACCO Sales REACH
NEAR $4,000, 1000 POUNDS
Weekly Average on the Maysville To-.
baccO Market Shows Another De-
crease-Nearly Two Million
Pounds Sold.

Weekly figures show that during the
week closed Friday total of 1,7O4,-
645 pounds of tobacco was sold on the
Maysville Tobacco market at a gen.
eral average of $3.50. This Is more
tobacco and better average than was
anticipated by the tobacco dealers of
the city.
These figures bring the total sales
on this market to date up 10 z6,974,715
pounds which is considerably more
than was at first expected would be
sold here this season.
Warehousemen are of the opinion
that during the next two weeks there
will be quite little rush on the local
market. They say there Is more to-
bacco out than one would think and
that this will be rushed in as soon as
possible, Farmers are urged to re-
member that March 2Sth is last sale.

MAY HAVE EXPOSITION SHOWS
ON DOWNTOWN STREETS

The committee in charge of the
management of the big Barkoot Shows
which will be- in Maysville for week
the first of April for the benefit of the
Odd Fellows Widows and Orphans
Home, has had considerable trouble
in finding a suitable place for the
shows to exhibit. The ball park has
been ploughed and another suitable
place is hard to find. The committee
has been calling on the business men
to learn whether or not there would
be objection to putting the shows on
the downtown streets and up to the
present time they have found no OBJ
lection. In the past when shows are
placed on lots in tbsn, East end the
business men have pplained that
the crowds brous 10 town by the
shows desert the business district and
it is pointed out that for this reason
many local business men endorse
heartily the plan to put the shows on
the streets.

Pres. WILSON DEMANDS
LEAGUE IN PEACE treaty
President Expected to Urge Inclusion
Of League Of Nations Plan In
Peace Treaty Today.

Paris, March 15-President Wilson
was expected today to urge in clu-
sion Of the League of Nations in the
preliminary peace treaty with Ger
many. 1t was understood he believes
such a course not only is possible, but
advisable. q
The presidents position was to be
made known, 1t was understood, eth
er at an informal meeting this noon
or at the session of the Supreme War
Council called for o'clock this after
noon.
At the noon meeting he was to be
acquainted officially with progress
made in the peace during his absence.
Despite the activities of the COM
mittees while the president was away,
his return has given new impetus to
every department Of the peace con-
ference, owing to the fact that settle
ment OF many questions was conting-
ent on his judgment and leaders were
more hopeful than ever today than the
preliminary treaty would be ready for
submission to the Germans beginning
March 20 and 22.
Under this rule there will be an
early meeting of the League of Ma
tions Committee, of which Wilson Is
chairman, and various nationalities,
including neutrals, will be sounded
for suggestions and ideas.

and 3S-will be started this season
Drawings and specifications will be

the aforementioned plant now be-
ing used in the completion of Dam
No. 80.
Dam No. SO will be located a short
distance above above Coney Island,
and Dam No. 3S will be located at
Neville, about a mile and half above
Laughrey Island, three miles above
Rising Sun, Indiana.
In addition to these dams author
lied under the new appropriation, con-
tracts will be let, beginning March 30,
for the construction of Dam No. 30,
near Greenup, KY; Dam No. 32, near
Vanceburg, KY, and Rome Ohio and

Grafton by the end of this season, as
will also Dams No. 35, near New Rich
mond; No. 33, near Maysville, and No.
80, near Vevay, Ind, said Captain
Jones.
The five new dams to be started this
year will be completed by 1923, Cap
tain Jones said, and their completion
and operation, together with dams to
be completed in the Wheeling district,
will give twelye-foot stage in the
Ohio River from Pittsburg to Flor
