Chamherlain's Tablets

When you are troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation, take Chamber
lain's Tablets. They strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. Indigestion is
usually accompanied by constipation
and is aggravated by it. Chamber
lain's Tablets cause a gentle move
ment of the bowels, relieving the con-
stipated condition.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
CAN BE CONVERTED
into CERTIFICATES

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE
war loan organization Of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve district has just been
advised that hereafter war savings
stamps may be converted into savings
certificates of 500 and 1000 denomi-
nations, according to a new plan of the
savings division of the United States
treasury department, to afford greater
convenience in handling war savings
securities.
The development of the war savings
idea is one that has been urged for
some time, in order to attract larger
investments. The holder of a suffi-
cient number of thrift stamps may now
exchange them for a SIS war savings
stamp, and in turn the holder of twenty
of the SIS war savings stamps may
convert them into 500 savings GER
tificate, or the holder of two hundred
of the S. stamps may turn them in for
la $1,000 savings certificate.
Conversion may be made at all first
and second-class postoffices and at all
banks and trust companies that have
qualified as agents of the second class.
The treasury savings certificates are
to be issued in registered form, and
will bear the names of the owners.
They will yield per cent compound
ed quarterly, as do the war savings
stamps. The limit of the individual
investment still remains at $1,000.
The new treasury savings certif-
Gates should prove particularly attrac-
tive for the investment of the funds
of fraternal societies, labor unions and
other civic, social and religious organ
izations, because the interest is added
to the principal automatically each
quarter, the entire amount being pay
able at maturity.

TWO CHANNEL ISLANDS
OFFERED FOR RENT
BY THE GOVERNMENT

VENTURA, Cal, July II (by Asso-
ciated Press) The government has
announced that two of the Channel
islands, about sixty miles off shore,
are for rent, and their descriptions are
on file in the Ventura county court
house here. The islands are Santa
Barbara and San Nicolas. The latter
is at present under lease to J. G.
Rowland of Los Angeles.
San Nicolas, fOrty-four miles west
ward from San Clemente, is seven
and a half miles long and has a gen
eral width of two miles and half.
The highest point is 800 feet. Two
thirds of the island is practically bare
sand and the balance is covered with
coarse grass and a few patches of
scrub oak. There is a good flock of
sheep on the island.
Santa Barbar is a mile and a half
long and a mile wide. There is no
water and no grass, but plenty of
prickly-pear shrub. This island rises
to a height of SAT feet. Landing is at
all times a little difficult.

BIG STRIKE OF
LIQUOR Made
IN old MINE;

ELY, New, July II (by Associated
Press) The romance surrounding the
life OF the miner and prospectOr has
frequently been responsible for sto-
ries of mines which yielded fortunes
in the precious metals, and which sud-
denly stopped production because of
loss of the ledge or vein carrying the
values. The Black Mule mine, in
Spring valley, about twelve miles from
here, is one of those mines which gave
up a fortune after having been aban-
doned.
The fortune, however, was not in
gold, silver or other precious metal,
but in iQuor-red liquor, which now
commands a price that is fast ap-
preaching the figure, per ton rate, that
"high-grade" used to command in Ne
vada's early mining camp history.
The Black Mule was a producer of
rich ore in the early days of White
Pine county mining activities. Every
rich stOpe and drift was worked out,
however, and the shaft has been board
ed up for years. A man said to be a
resident of Ely recently imbibed too
much, and as result talked too much.
Like the rumOrs of mining ''strike,"
the talk spread, and with it the wal
ues" that were rumOred. Then came
rumors Of the location of the new
"strike"
These rumOrs reached the ears Of
Sheriff w. S. Enslow, and with sew
eral deputies he started on a pros
pecting" trip. The old workings of
the Black Mule were explored, and
from the drifts, slopes, tunnels, in
Clines and levels from which the rich
ore had been exhausted were taken
something like 400 cases of whisky.
Further explorations resulted in the
location of 1000 pint bottles Of whisky
hidden around the grass roots in the
Immediate vicinity.
The strike" in the mine is said to
have Melted something like $4,000
"boOtleg" values-but it has not
caused a stampede, as such a find
would have done a few years ago.
Men who have tramped over the same
ground without finding even a "color"
have not even approached the scene
of the new "strike" They seem not
to desire to show any familiarity with
the section.
Reports have it that it was not
genuine "strike," but merely the ex-
ploitation of "salted" mine.

that in the shooting which took place
in the streets of Dublin during Easter
week in 1918 the great OConnell mon
ument was penetrated by eight o1$nine
bullets.
A proposal has been made that the
damage should be repaired. The city
engineer, however, has advised that
the bullet holes do not involve any
risk to the monument, are invisible
unless attention is specially drawn to
them, and in the future will have a
considerable historical interest. AC-
cordingly, the corporation has decided
that the monument shall remain as
it is.

CINCINNATI WIT WILL Be
HEARD HERE FOR FIRST time
Clnclnnati's Most Popular Mlrth
Maker VIII Speak 10 Maysvllle Au-
dIence and Boys Band VIII
be Heard for First Time.

Much interest Ia attached to the
novel entertainment to be given this
evening at the Washington Theater by
q number Of LOCAL men, personal
friends and great admirers of James
Hastings, famous Cincinnati wit, bet
ter known to the readers OF newspa-
pers as Luke McLuke."
Although hundreds OF Maysville
people have been reading the Witty
sayings OF this famous fun maker for
the past several years, there are very
few who have had the opportunity OF
hearing him In one Of his famous rip
roaring" lectures or Of even seeing
him. Luke has been on the lyceum
and chautauqua platform for several
years and has made good always leav-
ing behind him ripple OF laughter
which Is not wiped out for many days.
Besides the lecture OF Luke McLuke
there will also be another big feature
to the entertainment. The Maysville
Boys Band will make its first public
appearance and probably as much In
terest is shown in this phase OF the
evenings program as is shown In the
lecture of the funny man. The Opera
House will be well filled with parents,
relatives and friends of the boys to
hear them in their first public attempt
to make music as band.
The entertainment will begin at .
o'clock this evening instead Of S:l5 as
usual for such entertainments and
those who contemplate attending
should obtain their reserved seats
early and be on hand promptly.

terest In Club Work.

County Agent George Kirk expects
to devote the most Of this week and
part Of next week In organizing boys
and girls clubs throughout the coun-
ty and interesting youngsters In be-
longing to corn, pig and heIfer clubs.
Mr.. Frank N, Barrett, Of Lexington,
State Boys Club Agent, Is In Mays
vile in the interest Of the movement
and will assist Agent Kirk in his work
throughout the county the greater
part Of the present week.
In years past the young farmer boys
and girls Of Mason county have dis
played great interest In these clubs
and 1t Is expected that more interest
will be taken this year than hereto
fore for many good reasons.
Because the county schools are
mostly closed, It will be necessary for
Mr.. Kirk and Mr.. Barrett to call on
the boys and girls in their homes or
to have community meetings and both
systems Of getting In touch with the
youngsters will be employed no doubt.
Every boy and girl on Mason coun-
ty farm should be enlisted in this
work and identified with some one Of
the several clubs organized by the
County Agent and fostered by the
State and Federal Departments Of
Agriculture.
