United States which he is visiting for apparently
the first time: "The porch swing is an institution
in this country. Everybody lives on the porch.
Under the trees is an improvement on the porch,
in the opinion Of the writer. On every porch long
wooden settle is fixed by strong chains, and the
swing is the favorite seat. The chairs are ninety
per cent rockers, for incessant motion seems a
necessity to the American. Unable to hustle, they
must still be the move" The rocker is hardly

Chicago physician recently boosted that he had
been coming money for the past two months at
the rate of 100000 year writing prescriptions.
He had to call in the police from time to time to
maintain order in his waiting room. His average
number of alcohol prescriptions per day was IT'S.
Such man is no better (indeed, he is worse) than
a common, lowdown saloon keeper. One thing the
prohibition regime will do is to jeopardize the
physicians and druggists of the land. Here is an
opportunity for the honest physician to perform a
splendid patriotic service by expellng any and all
physicians who prostitute their profession by con-
nving with boozers to violate the law. "a For the
very protection of the honest physician, the bad

ARRANGEMENTS FOR Big
4th OF JULY CELEBRATION
Plans Are Now Being Made for Big
Celebration at BeechwOOd Park
On Fifth Of July For Band.

Manager ]. Barbour Russell, of the
Maysville Boys Band, started today to
lay plans for a big Fourth of July
Celebration at Beechwood Park on
Monday following the Nations Birth
day.
His plans include fireworks, baseball
games and other contests, dancing,
band concerts and good speaking by
prominent men.
Colonel Russell wired Governor
Morrow at Chicago this morning ask
ing him If he would speak here on that
day and also asked him to extend an
invitation to the nominee of the Chi
cago Convention to spend July 5th in
Maysville and speak on that after
noon at the big celebration.
The purpose of this big celebration
is to raise funds with which to pur-
chase the band members new summer
uniforms of white and Colonel Russell
says he thinks he will be enable to
gather in quite nice fund if Governor
Morrow and the Republican candidate
for President will agree to make the
donation of their time to make a
speech for the Maysville Boys Band.

BIG CONVENTION
OPENS WITH NOMI-
nee STILL IN DOUBT
Uninstructed Delegations Have Within
Their Power the Selection of
the Next President.

Chicago, June 8. - When Chairman
VIII Fl. Hays brought down his gavel
today with a resounding whack, he
called to order one of the greatest Re-
publican conventions ever assembled
and one whose result is the most un-
certain since 1880.
without bosses" and virtually
without leaders, with the field open to
the choice of any one of a score or
more of men as the party's nominee
for President, this quadrennial gath
ering of the greatest political party in
the worlds history promises to he
record-breaker in every respect.
The dominant fact is that there are
more than 500 unpledged and unbound
delegates. and in their hands lies the
decision of the convention. No choice
will be made on the first ballot. No
one predicts a nomination before the
fifth. and all are willing to admit that
the number of ballots may go far
higher.
The developments of the last "a
hours have been bad for Senator John
son of California. The votes from Ne
braska. Michigan and North Dakota.

subject only to his own release, will
not remain steadfast. The delegates
from those States do not coincide with
Senator Johnson in his opinion; they
will remain with him only as long as
they please. Some will desert quickly
General Leonard Wood seemed to
have profited most from the changing
tides and some of the flatsom has been
salvaged by those operating in his be-
half. They aver that Massachusetts
will not go along with Governor Cool
lidge; that General Wood will have
seven Massachusetts votes on the first
ballot and later on as many as twenty
The unstable Johnson strength in Ne
braska and in Michigan is claimed by
Wood; likewise the support of the II
Chicago delegates, controlled by Mayor
"Bill" Thompson, who have deserted
Lowden. Desertions from Lowden to
Wood among Southern delegates also
are reported. They advise also that
the prognosticators and statisticians
keep their eyes on Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The Sproul support in
Pennsylvania, in spite of the serious
consideration given to the governor as
a possible compromise candidate, is
not enthusiastic; and when the State
breaks, it will divide substantially be-

Chief SPEAKERS AT

Old Settlers Association was in the
city yesterday making plans for the
annual reunion and picnic at Ruggles
Camp Grounds on Saturday, July 3rd.
The annual reunion of the Old Settlers
has come to be the chief event in this
section on the Nations birthday. Thou
sands attend every year. The attrac-
tion of the beautiful campgrounds,
chance to see a big crowd, to hear
noted speakers and good music-this
makes it a place that to attend one
year means going every year. Many
good musical organizations have held
forth here in the past, but this year
will be the climaX-the Boys Band of
our own town. Several prominent
speakers will speak during the day,
chief of whom are State Superintend-
ent of Public instruction Geo. Colvin,
the Hon. r. p Ernst, prominent can
didate for United States Senator, and
Hon. Taylor Luman. prominent at
torney of Louisville. Major John
Walsh has been engaged to decorate
the tabernacle as never before for the
occasion. Privileges will be in hands
of reliable people who will see that all
possible will be done for the enjoy
ment of the crowds. This year no ad
mission charges will be made to old
settlers above sixty-five years of age,
nor to children under twelve
Another event of importance for the
day is the meeting of the Board of
Directors of the campmeeting associa-
ton. Final plans will be made for the
campmeeting which follows on July
29th. Those who have cottages will
want to come to look after them; those
who wish to rent cottages are usually
on hand to secure the same. There has
been such a demand for cottages this
year that but few will be left for rent
on this day.
There may be other celebrations, but
if you want to attend a real big patri-
SIC celebration don't fail to attend
this one.
