ing Wednesday against Dover, came back
and pitched wonderful bal, allowing but
seven scattered hits, one base on balls,
and struck out seven men. The Fed
erals hit Duffy and Gordy at will, get
ting twelve. Wilson made beautiful
catch of Hoffman's liner in the second

Two races for getaway day held little

of Lady Wiltondale was fined S25 for not

COMMITTEE MAKES
MANY PLANS FOR
SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY
Suggestions Are Made BY Executive
Committee to Sunday School OFF,
cials Of County for Big Day.

The committee on Go-To-Sunday-
School-Day at its recent meeting made
plans for the widest and most com
plete drive for the attendance of every
citizen in Maysville and Mason county
they have ever made. The renewed in
terest in Sunday school work has
greatly encouraged the committee and
they feel that there was never better
time to impress the work upon our
people than now.
The committee asks the superintend-
ents of city and county to cooperate in
every way possible in the campaign
| In the city committees from each ward
will visit the homes and business
houses for the purpose of placing win
dow cards in every window; for the
county a supply of cards will be sent
to each superintendent and they will
see that they are placed in the window
or some conspicuous place in each
home, also placed on all automobiles
the owners of which will agre to cam
paign for Go-To-Sunday- -School-Day.
Superintendent of both city and coun-
ty are asked by the committee to fol-
low the following suggestions:
First: Use the window cards to the
vest best of your ability. They will
serve two-fold purpose; a pledge to
attend Sunday school, and a contin-
uous advertisement of the day and
q booster for Sunday school.
Second: Use the programs provided
by the State Association for the day.
Schools may add to the program such
extra features they may think best to
make the programs more attractive.
Third: After deducting your schools
necessary expenses for advertising re-
NIT the remainder of the days Offering
to Mrs. Jos. Wells, County Secretary
and Treasurer After deducting the
Committees expenses for advertising
the balance will go to the State As
| sociation as the county's part in the
state work. Don't neglect this very
important matter.
Fourth: Use every method possible
to make your school attractive for the
day. Many will visit your schools per-
haps for the first time. They will be
induced to continue their attendance
in proportion to the drawing qualities
of your school. Do not neglect the les
son period. See that every teacher is
at his or her best for the day.
Fifth: Be sure and phone your at
tendance during the afternoon at 217
Maysville. This is of supreme impor-
tance.

FARM BUREAU
BUYS THIRTY TONS

Members OF Mason County Farm Bu-
reau VIII BE Given Opportunity TO
Buy Sugar at Saving.

The officers of the Mason County
Farm Bureau this morning purchased
by telegraph thirty tons of granulated
sugar to provide for the needs of their
members in the canning season. The
Farm Bureau has been endeavoring to
purchase some sugar for some time,
but have been unable to secure a
quantity worth while. The sugar which
they have contracted for was pur-
chased through Hitler and Beck, of
New Orleans, and the condition of the
market is pretty well reflected by the
fact that they were forced to go this
distance before being able to pur-
chase any at all. 1t was impossible to
secure a pound in Cincinnati through
any of the dealers there.
The charity work which has been
carried on by the Farm Bureau came
to a sudden halt this morning. Many

have been using the Farm Bureau

officers specifically state that hereaf-
ter the benefits secured through the
Farm Bureau will be available to
members only. The waiting room and
information bureau, market service,
will still be open to all, but where the
pocket book is intimately affected it
is an injustice to those who have paid
to support the organization to allow
any and all to make free use of its

New members may join at the rate
of $3.50 for the remainder of 1920.
