ALBANY. March 2.--The preliminary
text Of the annual report of Jesse S.
Phillips, State Superintendent OF Insur-
ance, will be in tho hands OF the legis
lators tomorrow. Mr. Phillips in his
report speaks in appreciative terms OF
tho records of the insurance companies
for the prompt settlement of claims
despite the great financial strain placed
upon them az a result of the influenza
epidemic. and when their actual mortal
ity was 400 per cent. of that anticipated.
The report says:

lips had a prosperous year, and their
operations during 1918 have strength
ened these companies generally.
The mortality in recent years in COM
panes doing a fidelity and surety bust
ness has caused a constantly increas-
ing demand for adequate protection
against the risks which such companies
assume. and the National Convention of
Insurance Commissioners. which has
been considering the subject for some
years, has finally recommended certain
standard provisions for policies issued
by these companies. the greater part of
which provisions are already lncorpo-
rated in the statutes Of this State. Mr..
Phillips states that bill Is now being
prepared to amend sections 81 and SO
OF the insurance law to put the remain
ing proposed provisions into effect In this
State. and he strongly urges favorable
consideration on this subject by the
Legislature.
In discussing fraternal insurance Mr.
Phillips states that. Hike legal reserve
companies. fraternals doing business In
this State have during the past year been
subjected to abnormal demands because
OF the influenza epidemic, but that thus
far they have been able 10 meet these
extraordinary Payments. many. however.
not without n great depletion in the.c
accumulated assets. and accordingly Mr.
Phillips emphasizes more than ever the
absolute necessity OF charging adequate
rates. He states that while the situa-
ton has slightly improved over previ-
Gus years, less than one-half OF the
fifty three fraternal societies transact
ing business In this State show 100 per
cent. of actual solvency.

vious reports. and condemns the societies
now soliciting members and collecting
from them nm amount which is con-
cededly insufficient ultimately 10 pay

OLD ORGANIZATION WILL

Splendid Organization Which Has 50

Victory Loan In Ma.
son County.

No definite arrangements have been
made for the Fifth or Victory Loan in
Mason county which campaign will
begin during the month of April 1t
was announced this morning that the
same splendid organization which has
so successfully handled all previous
loans in this county would be in full
charge of the new loan.
1t is more than likely that some ar
rangements will be made for the
handling of the new loan in this coun-
ty in very short time. Most all pre-
liminary arrangements have been
made at Cleveland, the headquarters
of the Fourth Federal Reserve district
and as soon as these arrangements are
forwarded to the county committee
plans for the launching of the CAM
paign will be made.
The, first meeting of the Women's s
committeeman for this district was
held today at Lexington and Mrs
French, Mason county representative
and chairman of the women's work fol-
this county, was in attendance.

DATE OF CLOSING
LOCAL MARKET
Meeting Of Maysyille Tobacco Assocla-
tlOn to Be Held Friday Afternoon
To Decide the Exact Closing
Date Of the Tobacco
Market.

One of the most discussed questions
in Maysville and Mason county for the
past several weeks has been the clos
ing date of the market for this season.
Many have been of the opinion that
the market should be closed the last
of this month while others are of the
opinion that because of the late open
ing the market should remain open
until the first two weeks in April.
Secretary ]. C. Rains, Of the Mays
vile Tobacco Association, announced
this afternoon that meeting of the
Association had been called for Friday
afternoon at the close of the sale at
the Home warehouse and the date OF
the closing sale will be announced i'm
medately after the meeting.
1t seems to be the general opinion
of the tobacco men that the proper
date for the closing will be Friday
March 2S and 1t Is almost certain that
this date will be decided upon at to-
morrow's meeting.
The association is deciding on the
closing date now so that all growers
may have plenty of time to get in their
crop and as soon as the date is actually
fixed the growers in all sections who
have tobacco yet to be delivered, will
| be notified.

HIGH SCHOOL WILL LIKELY
HAVE LYCEUM next WINTER
Representative Of Lyceum Course In
Maysvllle Yesterday-PrOf. Cap.
Ilnger Says Course VIII Pro-
badly BE Resumed Next
Winter.

For the past two winters the Mays
vile Lyceum Course has not been held
for various reasons but 1t became
known today that in all probabilities
the course will be resumed at the
High School during next winter.
A representative of one of the lar
gest lyceum talent bureaus in the
country was in Maysville yesterday
talking over the matter with Prof.
Caplinger and it is more than likely
that he will RECOMMEND to the Board
of Education that they resume this
course which is not only instructive
to the students of the city schools but
which is considered one of the best
educational features for the entire
community. The entire city and coun-
ty becomes much interested in the Ly-
ceum Course each winter and if it is
definitely decided to give the course
next winter, all can rest assured that
the best talent possible will be pro-
cured.
Interest right now is in the Chall-
tauqua for the coming summer and UP
to the present time nothing has been
definitely done in this regard. 1t is
expected, however, that the Chamber
Of Commerce committee in charge OF
the Chautauqua will begin LAYING
plans for this summers program in
the. near future.

set, and that the 112 out of the 100
eggs were good.
If the eggs are set early, the pull

S. S. ATTENDANCE TO
Be PUBLISHED WEEKLY
All Sunday Schools Are Urged to
Phone Their Attendance Each
Sunday to the Attendance
Secretary For Pub.
lIcatIon.

The publishing of the attendance OF
the various Sunday Schools through
out the city and county each week as
one means of increasing interest in
the Sunday School movement, espe-
cially as looking toward banner at
tendance on Go-to-Sunday-School-
Day, the first Sunday in May, can be
made very interesting feature of the
work. This is an age of publicity. No
movement worth mentioning meets
with any degree of success without a
great deal of publicity. People read
the newspapers. Its the first thing one
cares to see in the morning to see
what has happened over night; and
when the day is over the newspaper of
the afternoon is looked for to read the
happens of the day.
The publishing of the Sunday
School attendance by our papers sew
eral years ago created much interest
and good-natured rivalry. And 1t has
been a disappointment to many that
the work ceased. Then no attempt
has ever been made to secure the at
tendance of the county Sunday
Schools. In other counties this has
been carried on with great enthu-
siasm. Why not in old Mason? 1t can
be if those in charge of the schools
will take just about two minutes on
Sunday afternoons and call phone PIT
Maysville and give their attendance.
Then on Monday they may read in
their paper not only how many were
at their Sunday School but how many
attended other schools.
Now that the beautiful spring days
are here there should be a renewal
of effort on the part of every Sunday
school to build up to exceed last year.
1t has been a hard pull since the
health ban, but with the coming OF
warm weather we may expect all
schools to get in line for better work
than ever. Once more, don't fail to
call PIT next Sunday afternoon and
give your attendance.

it and it is certain they will have good
crowds. during their entire engage
