GUARDIAN WOULDN'T CON.
sent TO BOY Being WHIPPED
Lad Charged with Having Stolen
Washer Woman's Purse VIII Go
Before Grand Jury For
Investigation

Arthur Ennis, who has figured In
several juvenile cases In Maysville
during the past year, has been taken
in charge again by the Juvenile court.
This time 1t is charged that he took
the purse belonging to washer wo-
man from her home. 1t is learned that
the boy later returned the purse to
the women.
It seems as though the boy was
sent by his uncle, Mr.. Joseph Ennis,
with whom he makes his home, to the
home Of woman who does the Ennis
washing to get the weeks wash and
that while there he took the purse.
Judge Purnell suggested that good
whipping would be the proper thing
for the wayward boy but to this the
lads guardian objected and without
the consent of the child's parents or
guardian the officers cannot use the
cowhide.
Being unable to determine any bet
ter way to punish the lad and help
him remember his wrong doings than
by the cowhide route, Juvenile Judge
Purnell was forced to do the next
thing within his power for the good
Of the boy and he has held him for
Grand Jury investigation. The boy
has been released on bond for his ap-
pearance before the Grand Jury.

4 STRIKING EXAMPLE OF
LOCAL MARKETS DECREASE

A striking example of the decrease
in price of\tobacco on the Maysville
Tobacco Market is noticed in the floor
averages at the Growers Warehouse
on Friday, March 7th, and the aver
age of February 7th-just one month
previous. On Friday, March 7th, the
Growers sold total of 54,O05 pounds
at an average of $21.72 while on Feb
ruary 17th-just one month previous
they sold a total of 110,995 pounds
at floor average of $44.32. This
shows falling off in price Of more
than one-half. OF course the quality
Of the tobacco offered this week was
not as good as the offerings during
the month Of February.

DECREASE INPRICE
OF TOBACCO OCONSID.
ERED|NADAMSCASE
Man Charged With Stealing High.
Priced Tobacco Is Given the Bene.
fit Of Low Market.

West Union, Ohio, March 8-The
slump In prices on the loose leaf to-
bacco market evidently was taken in
to consideration Saturday by the jury
In the case Of the State against John
Knox, tried under an indictment
charging him with larceny.
Knox was indicted with three other
Jefferson township parties on charges
Of helping themselves to tobacco from
other peoples barns. Under the spe-
cific charge upon which Knox was
tried he was alleged to have purloined
ITO pounds Of the weed from John
Shivener. When the grand jury fig
ured on the value of this tobacco the
weed was selling high and it was es-
timated to be worth SIS.
In the meantime, however, the big
slump in prices struck the loose leaf
market and when the petit jurors in
the case Saturday. got out their pen
ellis and began figuring, the very best
joint bid they would make for the 17O
pounds awas $53.45. This is the value
the jurors returned in their verdict
of guilty, which was handed in late
Saturday afternoon, and which fixed
the crime as misdemeanor insteao
of felony. Judge Stephenson SEN
fenced Knox to 80 days Imprisonment
in the county Jail and to pay a fine of
5000 and costs.

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
FORMALLY OPENED
BY REPUBLICANS
Chairman Hays, Of Republican Nation.
nj Committee Opens Campaign
For National Victory in 1920.

st. Paul, Minn., March 8-Will II.
Hays, chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional committee, in speeches and con-
ferences in the Twin Cities last night,
formally opened the Republican cam
paign for national victory at the polls
In 1920. Supreme nationalism was the
keynote Of the Republican leaders,
speeches.
while we seek earnestly and pray
erfully for methods lessening future
wars, and will go far indeed in an
honest effort to that end, we will ac-
cept no indefinite nternationalization
as substitute for fervent American
nationalism," was his stand on the
League of Nations question, in ad-
dressing the Northwest Rally here to-
night.
United States Senator Frank B. Kel-
logg, speaking at the rally, reviewed
Republican achievements during the
war and expressed hope for amend
ments to the present League of Ma
tions draft. Governor ]. A. Burnquist,
in welcoming the chairman of the ma
tional committee, assailed George
Creel, chairman of the committee on
Public Information.
I'VE have always said, We join our
selves to no party that does not follow
the flag and keep step to the music of
the Union.'" said Hays at the outset
Of his address tonight. "The Republi-
can party has not only followed the
flag and kept step to the music of the
Union-the Republican party has car
ried the flag and made the music for
the union.
"We will not forget that while we
fight to make certain the rights of free
government in the world, we have
republic to preserve in this country;
that we are representative govern
ment, not Bolshevik syncopation; that
while there is nothing in this country
that we would not take and use for
necessary war purposes, such taking
must be for war purposes only. The
Republican party from its inception
has stood against undue federaliza-
ton Of industries ownership
Governor Burnquist referred to an
article by George Creel printed in the
March number of an eastern maga-
zine.
George Creel accuses the citizens
and officials Of this state of persecut-
ing, during the war, certain elements
of our people for political purposes"
said the governor, and he referred to
statements in Creel's article as "in-
famous allegations" and malicious
fabrications.
Governor Burnquist denied that the
Minnesota Public Safety Commission
had prohibited the non-partisan
league from holding meetings in Min
nesota, but declared that certain
county officials, on their own initiative
and supported by indignant citizens,
prevented number Of league meet
ings during the war period.

CURB STONE REAL ESTATE
DEALERS MUST HAVE LICENSE

This has been very successful
year for local real estate merchants
and the temptation to sell land and
property has been so great that sew
eral "curbstone' real estate mer-
chants have been operating. Com
plant was made to City Council at its
last regular meeting that these "curb-
stone" dealers should be required to
ray license for operations the same
as other dealers or the licensed
dealers should be protected against
them. The police department will en-
force the order of the Mayor in regard
to the taking of licenses in this re-
gard.
