Big DAIRY CATTLE SHOW
At THE Blue GRASS FAIR
Prof. Hooper Makes Statement In Re.
gard to Dairy Show ut the Blue
Grass Fair.

Prof, J. j. Hooper, head of the De-
partment of Dairying of the State Ex-
pertinent Station, who is In Maysville
today made this statement:
We wish to call attention to the big
dairy cattle show to be held at the
Blue Grass Fair, Lexington, the last
week in August. $500 is offered in
premiums for Holsteins and $500 for
Jerseys, and it is hoped that the en-
tries will be so extensive that the
Board of Directors will feel encour-
aged to make the premiums total over
a thousand dollars for each breed next
year for the dairy business in central
Kentucky is fast expanding.
Also premiums are offered for the
COW that produces the greatest guam
tity of butter during three days of the
fair. Every small breeder of dairy
cattle in Central Kentucky should
have one or two head of stock at Lex
ington, for this is a small man show.
The fair encourages the showing of a
few head from each farm for it ap-
preciates that the business rests with
the small breeder in. this territory. Mr..
Thompson Webber, Shelbyville, KY,
will Judge the Jerseys and Mr.. Joseph
Lindsey, Winchester, KY, will judge
the Holsteins.

WILL ORGANIZE CALF
CLUBS IN THIS COUNTY
State Cattle Experts To Assist Local
Organizers In Putting on Foot Sey.
eral Calf Clubs.

Prof. ]. ] Hooper, head of the De-
partment of Dairying of Kentucky
State University. and Mr.. E. NJ. Prev
lit. cattle expert Of the State Expert
ment Station, arrived in Maysville this
morning and will spend the balance of
the week in Mason county assisting
Couty Agent George Kirk and Assist
ant County Agent John Hurst Adams
in organizing Calf Clubs throughout
the county,
1t is hoped that the young farmers
of Mason county can be interested in
raising pure bred calves during this
fall and winter and arrangements will
probably be made for a big auction
sale of the calves next spring in
Maysville 1t is the purpose of those
at the head of the organization to have
several organizations throughout the
county similar to the Calf Club organ
lied here some time ago by the First
Standard Bank.
Already several clubs of various
kinds have been organized in the
county through the efforts of Assistant
County Agent John Hurst Adams, who
has given practically all of his atten-
ton this summer to Club Work. 1t is
expected therefore, that the youngsters
will understand the Club idea and that
little trouble will be experienced in
getting many members to the new
Calf Clubs.

Monday evening from a fractured

while standing beside telephone pole
in the Infirmary lane.
Shortly after Mr.. Farrow was struck

that the man had no chance to re-
cover from the stroke. He was able
to live through Sunday and Monday.
however, at noon Monday DR.. Mcclure
said that the man was dying and that
nothing could save him.
It is nothing short of miraculous
that he was able to live as long as he
did being injured as he was. The
stroke OF lightning tore his straw nat
into small particles and the top of his
head was crushed while the hair had
been singed upon his head. A colored
man who was standing near him, was
severely shocked but soon recovered.
Mr.. Farrow was member of well
known Mason county family and had
been an inmate of the Infirmary for
some time. He was most likable man
Of large physique and an unusual con-
stitution.
The body was removed to the home
of Mrs Sam Farrow in Front street
and burial will be made at the old Far
row graveyard near Orangeburg at 10

Maysyille Man Defeats Nearest Con.
testant BY Between Three and Five
Hundred VOtes-Judge Blair
Also Makes Gains.

Late incomplete and unofficial re-
turns on the Republic congressional
primary race in the Ninth Congress
sional District show DR.. W. s. Yazell
of this city, winner by from three to
five hundred majority over his nearest
contestant, Omer Barber, of Owings-
vile, Bath county.
DR.. Yazell made considerable gains
over night in late returns from Car
ter, Bracken and Harrison counties
swelling lead he had taken over Bar
ber when the returns from Lewis
county came in at the full count OF
that large Republican county. Mich
olas county also tightened DR., Yazell's
grip on first place in its late returns
and telephone message from Carter
county last night giving the vote of
that county showed that the Mason
county man had quite number of
friends in that section.
Returns from the mountain counties
which we're awaited Monday helped
only to swell the vote of Judge Blair
and did The Bath county candidate lit
tie good. When it was learned here
that Judge Blair had carried Rowan
county, a neighboring county in which
Barber was expected to make big
showing it was almost certain that he
had finished his big vote gains.
Figures tabulated from the latest
returns show DR.. Yazell leading Bar
ber by majority of 4SS votes which
Barber cannot overcome in returns
from the counties which are incom-
plete. This tabulation showing the

COMPLETE ENDORSEMENT
OF WILSON'S LEAGUE
Given By Democratic Vice Presidential
Nominee in His Acceptance Ad.
dress Monday Afternoon.

Hyde Park, N. j., August 10. - The
prologue to one of the most engrossing
presidential campaigns in the history
Of the United States was ended Mon
day with the delivery by Franklin D.
Roosevelt of his address accepting the
Democratic nomination for the Vice
Presidency.
Attired in blue serge suit, lighted
up by cornflower and a pansy in his
buttonhole, Mr.. Roosevelt, who until
Friday was Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, told several thousand listeners
that the League of Nations was the
paramount issue of the presidential
campaign, according to the lights of
the Democratic party.
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke from the ver-
anda of "Springwood," his Hyde Park
home. He stood on small rotunda
supported by Doric pillars, colonial
style. His manuscript rested on a
music stand. On the veranda sat men,
bers of his family, friends and political
associates.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his hearers that
the country faced two problems, one
internal and one external. The nomi-
nee rephrased and gave new empha-
sis to all President Wilson's argu-
ments for the League of Nations, He
declared that man who could see no
reason for reform in the nations inter
national outlook necessarily should be
reactionary in affairs at home.
