Officers Elected and
Organization Completed

The Chamber Of Commerce Of Mt.
Sterling and Montgomery County
met at the noon hour yesterday at
the Ladies rest rooms where an ele-
giant plate luncheon was served by
members Of the Country Women's
Club, after which a business session
was held. Secretary Sharp read
the minutes of the previous meet
ings and the reports of the commit
tees on Bylaws and Dues we're also
read and adopted. There were for
ty-three members present and the
meeting was a most enthusiastic
one. Five directors were elected as
follows: Director of Organization,
C. B. Patterson; Director of Public
Affairs, C. C. Chenault; Director Of
Business Affairs, G.. B. Senff; Di-
rectors- large, o. w. Mccormick
and Robert Collier. Another meet
ing will be held Wednesday, July %,
at which time many matters of i'm
portance will be up for discussion.
This new oganization is getting a
splendid start and bids fair TO do
much in the upbuilding Of Mt. Sterl-
ing and Montgomery county and 1T is
sincerely hoped that those of our
business men who have not affihat-
ed themselves with the Chamber of
Commerce will do so at once. This
organization is as much for the
farmer as for the business men of
Mt. Sterling, and his presence and
counsel are very much desired, and
it lis hoped that many of our pro-
gressive farmers will join this or
ganization.

TAX PAYERS

We are frequently asked the
questionable meaning Of the new
law regarding the assessment of
property. The law requires us to
keep our office open, but does not
Mcguire the tax payer to come to
the office until we have been to see
him, ana in his absence, left a
notice. 1t il then the tax payers
absolute duty tc call at the time
mentioned in the notice, and in case
he does not call, his name will he re-
ferred to the board of supervisors
and it is at this time subject to a
penalty.
1 think the majority prefer to call
at the office and list their property,
and wish to impress it upon you
that we prefer for you to do it, be-
cause the law compels the office to
be kept open, and further, we can
take a much better list wnen we
have all the records close at hand.
Heretofore have mailed notices,
but will not do so this year only in
a few instances toward the last. l
insist that you come at your earliest
convenience. If you will do 80,
you will not be bothered by us call
ing when you are busy with other
matters, and at tn esame time will
assist us in making a better and
more accurate assessment.
Thanking you in advance for your
presence in my office.

loved women that ever lived within
the confines Of Montgomery county,
and in her passing many a heart is
made sad, and the vacant chair long
occupied by this noble woman will
stand as a monument to her men,
DRY. Besides her husband she is
survived by one son, Fisher Mark;
Mrs. Anne Priest, Miss Emma Rop-
erts, and one brother, George Rob-
erts, all Of this county. Funeral

Judge S. M. Wilson
Speaks Here Monday

Arrangements thus far completed
for the opening Of the presidential
campaign in Montgomery County at
the Democratic rally to be held in
Mt. Sterling next Monday afternoon
indicate a memorable event in the
political history Of Easter Kentucky
There will be large attendance
from this county and adjoining
counties to hear the address of
Judge Samuel M. Wilson, of Lexing-
ton, and to participate in the per-
manent organization of The First
Cox and Roosevelt Campaign Club
of Kentucky.
This organization is destined to
put the Democracy of this sertion
prominently on the political map
during the campaign. Effected three
hours after the nomination of Gov
ernor Cox at San Francisco, it was
probably the first campaign club in
the country to notify him that it
was ready for business. In reply a
message of thanks and encourage
ment has been received from the
Governor and will be read at the
meeting.
The temporary officers Of the
club were elected only for the pur-
poses of preliminary organization
and to "get in the game early"
Their permanent successors will be
elected at Mondays meeting, and
necessary steps will be taken for
the adoption of constitution and
bylaws, the appointment of an ex-
ecutive committee, etc.
The meeting will be called to or
der at the Court House at l 80
o'clock p. m. Arrangements are be-
ing made for appropriate music.
Judge Wilson'S address will follow
the election of the permanent or
ganization and will be the only
speech of the occasion. The Ken
lucky Democracy has no ADLER or
more eloquent champion than Judge
Wilson, and the Democracy of this
section have every reason to con-
graduate themselves that he was Sc
lected to fire the opening gun for
Cox and Roosevelt in Mt. Sterling
at the first public meeting of the
campaign in Kentucky.

BOYS PLA YZNC s:HOOKY''

Public school officials today stumbled
upon figures in going over truancy re-
ports that disclose a decline in the num-
ber of boys playing "hooky." and an in
crease among girls. In 1917 16 girls
and 655 boys were A. w. o. l..
from their classrooms. Last year A
girls and 544 boys had their names
placed on the truancy list of Miss Sadie
L, Lewis, chief attendance officer of the

PRESIDENT PARDONS MAN.
Howard w. Showalter, Former w.
Va. Banker, to Go Free.

President Wilson today granted
pardon to Howard w. Showa1ter of
the National Bank of Fairmont w
Va. who was convicted three years
ago on charge of misappropriating
the funds of that institution and SEN.
fenced to serve five years in prison.
Showalter had many friends in
Washington and was more or less
widely known in local financial cir
cles. Judge j. A. Finch, in charge of
pardon cases for the Department of
Justice. made a report to Attorney
General Palmer recommending Mr..
Showalters pardon, and it was read
carefully by the President before ap-
proving it.
Washington friends who interceded
in his behalf said today that the Pres
ident promptly granted pardon
when he came into possession of the
facts, which showed, they said, that he
was absolutely innocent" Mr.. Sho-
walter had been out on bond since his
conviction and was to have been sur
rendered to the court to begin his
sentence within few days.

here for the first time. Particular in :.
terest attaches to the suggestion of
the experts that the House civil sery-

Hope for Quick Action.
In such redraft lies the hope of inn
mediate action on reclassification, ac-
cording to the brief prepared by
Messrs. Noses and Lambie, recognized
throughout the country as specialists
on reclass1flcation matters. Repre-
sentative Good recently declared that
ne would do all in his power to assist
Mr. Lehlbach and his COMMITTEES in
bringing reclassification before Con
gress lat the very earliest possible

The authors of the brief declare that
:. was Understood that in preparing
our report we should act as independ-
ent investigators. and not as the
agents of the employees or of any
other group. and that we should not
approach the work of the reclassifi-

other than an impartial review Of the

the Whoie-hearted support of the en-

administrative officers Of the govern

school officials admit that photoplay
houses are the favorite visiting places
of the young school girls. Therefore,
they are attributed to the increase in

mania for playing truant from school
can be found in a movie show instead
of fishing or swimming in the waters

M|LKAT Il CENTS
URGED BY CITIZENS
Dealers and Producers Asked
to Act Fairly With the
Public.

A retail price to the consumer of
II cents a quart for milk during the
coming winter was recommended to-
day by the special committee of the
Federatio1e of Citizens Associations
appointed to study the milk situa-
tion.
Asserting that the peak of high
prices has passed and that the ten
dency now should be downward, the
committee urges the farmers to ac-
cept AZ cents a gallon for their milk
this winter instead of A cents, the
amount they have been considering.
A wholesale price of AZ cents a
gallon to the farmers would not
necessitate a retail price greater
than II cents a quart to the local
dairymen, the committee believes.
Committee's Report.
Summing up the results of it's in
quiry. the citizens committee reports
as follows:
That the producers and dealers
agree upon basic price of AZ cents
per gallon for milk of 3.5 per cent
butter fat content, and that this milk
be sold to the public through the
usual channels of distribution at a
price not exceeding II cents per quart
The committee believes that this
spread Of 26 cents per gallon Is sum.
cient for the profitable handling and
distribution of the product, and that
the producers and dealers should
unite in the effort to prevent 1ur-
ther increase in the retail cost OF
milk at this time.
This price, il put into effect Oc-
tober 1, and maintained through the
winter period, will result in a saw
ing of more than $250,000 to the peo-
pie of Washington, and in the opinion
of the committee it would be unjust
to add that large sum to the living
cost of the community under the cir
cumstances If it be true that the
profits of producers and dealers will
be curtailed by the above plan, the
committee would suggest that tnere
has apparently been period OF con
siderable prosperity in the milk Dusl-
ness. and that there must be lean
Years as~well as fat ones in that as
in other commercial pursuits; also
that keeping down the price VIII
tend to increase consumption TO the
end that there may be no surplus
which must be wasted.
Asked to Deal Fairly.
"The committee believes that vol
untary ARRANGEMENT as above sug-
eested is possible, practicable ana
feasible and asks the producers. ois-
the situation and with each other
frankly and fairly for the general
public good.

fort Of the District health department
to provide q healthful milk supply for
