\. {. POGUE NAMED
ACTIVE Head OF THE
water COMPANY
Mr.. A. G. Sulser After Many Years
Connection With Public Utility Re-
signs and Mr.. II. E. POgue
Succeeds Hlm-President
Sharp Also Resigns.

Mr.. Henry e. Pogue returned late
Friday from Louisville where he had
been attending a meeting of the direc-
tors of the Maysville Water Company
and at this meeting the resignation OF
Mr.. A. @. Sulser as Secretary of the
company was received and Mr.. Pogue
was elected Secretary, Treasurer and
General Manager of the company. His
Office will be located in this city and
he will take over the active manage
ment OF the company in the immediate
future.
Mr.. H. C. Sharp, local banker, who
only a short time ago was elected
president Of the company, also offer
ed his resignation but as yet no sue
cessor to Mr.. Sharp has been chosen.
In the selection of Mr.. Pogue as
the active head of the company, the
directors have made no mistake. He
is a live young business man and dur
ing the past few months has been more
or less connected with the workings
of the company so that he understands
the business quite thoroughly and Is
able to take immediate charge and go
ahead with the work. The new officers
have already made many plans for i'm
provement Of the local plant so that
the company will be more able to fur
nish the proper supply Of water to the
citizens of Maysville and every one
in the city who uses city water will
be more than glad to know that GER
tain much needed improvements are
to be made at once.
Mr.. Sulser and Mr.. Sharp both re-
sign their connection with tbis COM
pany because of their other business
which is pressing them for time and
under the new arrangement these men
would not be able to give the Water
Company the time that is necessary.

MEMBERS FOR 1920
IS Big Object Of
RED CROSS drive
Campaign Headquarters Have Been
Opened In Lexington With John
II. Downing In Charge.

The primary object of the Red Cross
campaign, for which headquarters
have been opened in the Phoenix Ho-
tel in Lexington, is to enroll members
for the year 1920, but there will be in
addition general appeal for $15,G00,-
900, in the nation to enable the Red
Cross to complete its war obligations
at home and abroad.
There will also also be local ap-
peals, where necessary, conducted by
chapters to obtain whatever money
they may need to finance their local
programs
The first task of the Red Cross is
of course to fulfill its obligations to
the American soldiers and sailors.
The organization plans to concentrate
its efforts on peace problems at home,
unless America should again be in
volved in war or confronted by great
disasters which create emergencies.
The programs are primarily within
the field of public health and are ar
ranged for the cooperation with Of
fetal activities, federal, state and To-
cal.
Congress has prolonged the respon-
sibility of the Red Cross abroad by
authorizing the Secretary of War to
transfer to the Red Cross such medi-
cal and surgical supplies and supple
mentary and dietary food stuffs now
in Europe as are not needed by the
army abroad or at home to be used by
the organization to relieve and supply
the pressing needs of the countries in
volved in the late war. To these sup
plies will be added such materials as
the Red Cross has in Europe To meet
these obligations to minister this for
eign relief, the Red Cross must raise
at this time $15,OO0,OOO.
Mr.. John D. Downing of Lexington
is campaign manager, Mr.. s. w. Cald-
n of Lexington, is assistant campaign
manager and Miss Ida Haord of Lou
isville, is executive secretary.

FIvE.YEAR AVERAGE
IS GUIDE FOR WHEAT
U. 5. Department Of Agriculture
Makes Fall Farming Suggestions
Based on Foreign Conditions.

Washington, d. c., September 90
More wheat should be sown this fall
than was the average in pre-war years,
but not so much should be sown as
was sown- last year. This is the out
standing fall farming Recommendation
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, which Is watching the
changes of world supply and demand
while European countries are getting
back to normal In food production and
thus affecting the market for Ameri-
can products. The departments sug-
gestions are based on the observations
of specialists who were sent abroad to
report on foreign conditions and pro-
bable needs, and on the most extern
sive reports 1t has been possible to OBJ
tain from other sources in this coun-
! try and other countries.
AS to winter wheat, the department
| suggests that 100000 acres be
sown this fall to this crop, and that
| 20,000,000 acres be sown in 1920 to
spring wheat, making a probable ag-
gregate production in 1920 of $50 ,O00,-
900 bushels, of which 200 900 900 bush
els would be available for export after
home needs are met. This production
would approximately equal the aver
age weld of wheat in the United States
for the FIVE years 1915 to 1919 inclu-
sive. The five-year average is thought
to be safe guide for American farm
ers
The suggested acreage for fall-sown
wheat is approximately IS per cent of
the area sown in the fall of 1918 and
is about the same as was sown in the
fall of 1917. The suggested area for
spring wheat is approximately SO per
cent. of the area sown in each of the
last two years The combined acreage
of winter and spring wheat suggested
for 1920 Is about sc per cent. of the
acreage sown for the 1919 crop, slight
ly more than the acreage sown for the
bumper crop Of 1915 and about 4 per
cent. less than the area sown for the
1918 crop.
