Demonstrations GIVEN

Station Is Spending the Day In
Maysyllle and Mason County
In the Interest Of Better
Fruit Trees.

At the request of County Agent Geo.
Kirk, an expert from the Kentucky
State Experiment Station, Lexington,
is spending today in Maysville and
Mason county giving demonstrations
Of tree spraying and pruning for the
farmers and the city fruit growers.
Several demonstrations were made
in orchards in the city but the greater
part Of the day will be spent in the
county where number of these DEM
onstrations will be given. The expert
during the demonstration explains
fully to the farmers and the city fruit
growers just how pruning and spray
ing should be done and what chemi-
Gals should be used. Besides the di-
rect result to the orchards where the
demonstrations are given, there will
be much derived from the experts
visit by all who attend the demonstra-
tion.
1t is expected that the expert can be
brought back to Maysville at some fu-
ture date when more time can be
given to such demonstrations and

plished today can be accomplished.

new BANK OF MAYS.
WILLIE WILL OCCUPY
BUILDING NOW USED
Directors Of New Merged Bank Of
Maysyille Change Their Plans and
VIII Greatly Improve Present
Quarters Of Bank Of
MaysyIlle.

It became known today that the
new Bank of Maysville formed by the
merging Of the. present Bank of Mays
vile and the First-Standard Bank will
occupy the building on the South side
Of West Second street now occupied
by the Bank Of Maysville instead Of
the banking house of the First-Stan-
dard Bank. This conclusion has just
been reached after a careful consid-
Grafton Of the contemplated changes.
It is now decided that the beautiful
banking house Of the Bank Of Mays
vile will be altered and enlarged so
that this house can be occupied by the
large new institution and the banking
room of the First-Standard Bank will
be turned into store room and leased
for some large retail business.
1t is the purpose of the directors to
widen the front of the Bank of Mays
vile building on the East side so that
the building will join the Odd Eel
lows building now occupied by Hech-
niger & Company. The second floor
of this building will also be used by
the bank and the building will be ex-
tended in the rear so as to give plenty
of room for the large institution.
The Bank Of Maysville has at pres
ent the most beautiful bank fixtures in
this section of the state of Kentucky
and the most modern and beautiful
bank vault in the entire state. These
will be used but the vault will proba-
bly, be moved back farther to the rear
of the building and the rooms on the
second floor of the building will be
used as private offices and directors
rooms.
Architects from Louisville have
been in Maysville for the purpose of
drawing plans for the proposed
change in the Bank of Maysville's
building and also for making certain
changes in the Frst-Standard Bank
building to make that large banking
room into a first-class store room.
The Frst-Standard bank room prop
erly altered will make one Of the best
business houses in the entire city. 1t
is large and located in the heart Of the
retail business district.
A meeting of the stockholders of
both the Bank of Maysville and the
First Standard Bank will be held dur
ing the first part of the month of
March when all plans will be COM
pleted. Articles of incorporation of
the new four million dollar bank will
be filed within few days, it is un-
derstood.

Woman SUFFRAGE
IS DEFEATED IN the
SENATE YESTERDAY
Woman Suffrage Meets Its Fourth De-
feat In the United States Senate
Losing by Only One Vote.

Washington, February 10 - BY a
margin of one vote equal suffrage met
its fourth defeat today in the Senate.
Further action at this session is not
possible, but advocates announced
that the now nearly half century old
campaign for submission of the Susan
B. Anthony constitutional amendment
to the states would be renewed when
the Sixty-sixth Congress convened.
On the final roll call today 55 Sem
ators-one less than the required two
thirds-voted for adoption Of the reso-
luton, and 20 Senators cast their bal
lots against 1t. Comparatively brief
debate preceded the vote, which offic-
tally killed the resolution adopted by
the House on January 10, 1918, by
vote of 274 to 1856.
Defeat of the measure was witness
ed by crowds of women in the CALLER
les, but there were no demonstrations,
and dramatic incidents which hav
marked previous Senate votes on thu.
question were lacking. Up to the last
moment managers of the resolution
expressed confidence of winning the
one vote they needed, but the opposi-
tion held firm.
Senator Pomerene, Of Ohio, voted
against the resolution, and Senator
Harding voted in the affirmative.
Immediately after the vote was an
nounced suffrage leaders issued state
ments, prepared in advance, criticiz-
ing the Senate action and announcing
that the fight would be renewed in the
next Congress. Supporters Of the res
olution generally predicted that sue
cess would be attained then.
Twenty-four Democrats and 30 Re-
publicans voted for the resolution to-
day, while 1S Democrats and II Re-
publicans opposed it. Of the Senators
absent and paired, eight were reported
in the affirmative and four in the neg
ative indicatingsthat sentiment Of the
SO members stood So to SO in favor of
the resolution.
Senator Beckham voted against the
measure and Senator Martin was pair
ed with Senator Reed, of Minerva.

THR0NGS FILL THE
CHURCH At FUNERAL
Of Mr.. W.D. COCHRAN
Beautiful Tribute Paid TO Life OF
Prominent Citizen by His Pastor
and Frlend-Clty Suspends
Bslness In His Honor.

Never was a greater tribute paid
any man in Maysville or Mason coun-
ty than that paid Hon. W. d. Coch-
rams memory this afternoon when at
the request of Mayor Thomas M. Rus
sell, the city suspended business for
an hour.
The First Presbyterian church,
where the funeral was held, was we'll
filled by admiring friends long before
the time set for the funeral service
and when the service was begun every
seat in the church was taken, the bal
cony was filled and all of the stand
ing room in the rear of the church
was taken up.
DR.. John Barbour, for several years
Mr.. Cochran's pastor and very warm
personal friend, delivered a great SER
mon and paid high tribute to the
splendid life Mr.. Cochran had lived
among us. Choosing one word to ex-
press Mr.. Cochran, DR.. Barbour said
he was loyal and that there was no
greater Christian attribute. The ser
mon was masterpiece of thought and
expression.
Besides the family and the large
number of personal friends and ad-
mirers, the members of the Mason
County Bar, the Grocers' Association
and the Directors of the Maysville
Chamber of Commerce attended the
funeral in body.
The pail bearers were all members
of the family. Mr.. Cochran's four
brothers, Judge A. NJ J. Cochran. Cap
tain Horace j. Cochran, DR.. James Fl.
Cochran and Mr.. R. A. Cochran and
his two nephews, Mr.. John Cochran
and Captain Robert Cochran, bore him
to his grave.
The music at the service was beau
tiful and the floral display was beyond
doubt the most gorgeous ever seen
in any Maysville church on any occas-
ion. Floral tributes came from scores
Of friends in all parts of the state.
4 i. Tie Va .Ms.
Cochran was held in Maysville and the
great loss the citizens of the city felt
in his death could be noticed on the
streets. During the funeral not half
dozen business houses in the entire
city were opened and folks walking
on the streets showed plainly in their
movements and faces that they were
grieved beyond measure

there is now in Louisville criminal
whose case has been decided for sew

MANY FOWLS ARE
ENTERED IN BIG
POULTRY SHOW
Doors on Annual Poultry Show Are
Thrown Open and Many Kinds Of
Fowls Are Representative
terest Runs High.

The annual Poultry Show of the Ma
son County Poultry Association OPEN
ed its doors this morning at the Thom-
as building in lower Market street
with most every breed of chicken rep
resented by beautiful specimens and
with interest in the success of the
show running high.
While it was not expected that there
would be very great crowd at the
show today, there were many people
viewing the fowls all morning and
during the afternoon, after the funer-
al of Mr.. w. d. Cochran, the room was
well filled at times.
Most every fancier of high class
poultry was represented in the display
and never before has there been such
display of pure breds in this or any
other nearby county.
The show is unique and the displays
are arranged well so that every per-
son attending can see all of the chick
ems from every angle and notice the
different breeds distinguishing char
acteristics.
While there are good many pure
bred Reds displayed, the Red is not
Tie only thing to be seen for while
that breed is the standard for Mason
county there are many people who
have become so attached to other
strains that they have refused to give
them up and have made special efforts
in raising pure bred stock of other
breeds.

TARBOX MAKING RAISE
FROM l,OO0.F0OT LEVEL
VALUES IN SILVER, GOLD AND
COPPER-SHOWlNG GOOD
IN EAST DRIFT.

The crosscut driven near the face
of the east drift on the 1000 foot level
of the Tarbox proved the width of the
ore to be 32 feet of commercial ore
stated Frank j. Davey upon his re-
turn from the property last Monday
evening. An interesting and signifi-
can't feature was disclosed in the
crosscut next to the hanging wall,
where there is probably or feet of
ore showing practically no lead and
zinc, but carrying 10 ounces of silver,
SLIGO in gold and ~ per cent copper.
In the west drift there Is good
showing Of ore, but it could hardly be
called of commercial grade. Mr. Da-
vey expects the next 40 feet to make
a decided improvement. This is the
shoot that is developed on the 500,
and the Tarbox ore has uniformly
shown improvement in grade with
each succeeding level.
Raise From East Drift.
A raise has been started at a point
near the face Of the east drift and Is
now up the length of two sets. This
will be extended to a connection with
the 800 level. The raise Is passing
through a body of lead ore of excell-
ent grade. The east drift has been
run 100 feet in continuous ore shoot
and the showing of ore in the face Is
stronger than at any other point.
While no definite information Is OBJ
at this time on the subject
it is understood that plans are be-
ing worked out to provide a mill for
the. Tarbox during the summer There
is large tonnage Of milling ore on
the dump. and the amount of avail
able ore in the mine Is being steadily
increased.
