Mt. Sterling Home May Be
Kidnapped.

Mt. Sterling, KY, July 2S. - Barker
Hart, 14-year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. S. Hart, has been missing from his
home here since early yesterday morn
ing and all efforts to locate the boy so
far have failed. He spent Sunday
night with young friend, leaving yes
terday morning before breakfast, and
has not been seen since then.
1t was learned through a local
garage man that young Hart purchas-
ed oil and several gallons of gasoline
late Sunday afternoon, and that, to-
gether with the fact that the boys car
is missing, has led the police to think
he may be in Louisville or Cincinnati
Telephone and telegraph lines were
kept busy all night and today in an
effort to find him, and Chief of Police
Upton, who is at work on the case
hopes to hear something definite with
in the next few hours.
A number of theories have been ad
vanced regarding the boys disappear
ance, and many think he might hav,
been kidnapped and held for ransom
as his father Is known to be a wealth.

Been iii Long.

Mrs. Dimmie Currey. aged 73 years.
was found dead in bed at her home in
Forest avenue between Walnut and
Union streets at about o'clock Tues

On Monday she had visited her next
door neighbor, Mrs. Mar Mocrey, and
had agreed to take dinner with Mrs.
Moorey on Tuesday. She retired early
Monday evening complaining of feel
ing bad. 1t was her usual custom to
sleep late and neighbors did not think
1t strange that she was not about her
home on Tuesday morning. When she
failed to go to her reighbors' home for
dinner at noon Tuesday, however, Mrs.
Moorey merely thought that she was
probably feeling bad. During the af-
ternoon she was not noticed about the
house however and Mrs. Moorey at
tempted to call her but received no
response.
When the men returned frpm work
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Moorey and
Mrs. George Rudy suggested that they
go to Mrs. Curreys home to see II she
was very ill. They gained entrance
through the front door which was moi
locked and upon the bed they fount
the body cold in death. Coroner
Thomas Higgins was Immediately call
ed and upon investigating gave it a,
his opinion that the aged woman hat
been dead for several hours. ~

Be ORGANIZED At ONCE
Thlrty-hve More Boys and Girls VIII
Be Given Opportunity to Obtain
Musical Education Free.

AS the Maysville Boys Band has
now developed into first class .mu-
sical organization and 1t would be diff

ing committee of the band to begin the
organization of new band.

tee will meet at the band room in the

ILLICIT STILL AND
ALLEGED SINNERS
CAUGHT IN FLEMING
Raid In Fleming County Results In
Capture Of Stlll and Owners In
Muse Precinct.

The Fleming Gazette says
Thursday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
H. l. Jackson brought in typical
moonshine still outfit including a
quart of liquor which he captured
in the early part of the evening day
before on the side of mountain near
Sugar Tree Run in Muse precinct. The
outfit consisting of copper dome and
about rs feet of copper pipe, apparent
iy home made, and the liquor were
turned over to Commonwealth Attor-
ney B. s. Grannis.
Besides capturing the outfit named
the officers destroyed nine barrels Of
mash, which they found warm as
though operations had been going on
that day. The outfit was identified by
Mr.. Jackson as being the same as was
found near Beechburg some days ago,
at least the barrels were the same, and
the same gang was operating it, 1t is
thought. Eight men are supposed to
be implicated, and 1t is evident look
outs" we're kept to tip off the approach
of any stranger.
The posse that raided the Illicit still
was made up of Mr.. Jackson, Squire
Jim Muse, Constable Wilmore Mauk
and Rant James. AS they approached
the place they heard noises which they
think were signals warning the shin
ers of their approach, which however
they had taken precautions to conceal
1t is pretty we'll established who the
sinners are, and arrests may follow.
The location of the still was made
known by moonshine liquor coming
from that direction, the still house
smell and the unusual amount of corn
meal being sold in that vicinity.
Saturday Will Fisher and Avery
Hensley who are charged with operat,
ing the still were arrested at Hensley's
home near where it was found and
were lodged In Jail here to await ex.
amining trial Friday. Both gave bono
for $780, The two men were arrested

PLANT INFECTION
THREATENS CROP OF
KENTUCKY BURLEY
Blights, Scattered BY Winds, Found to
Have Damaked Crop in Eight
Counties of the State.

Widespread infection of tobacco in
Central Kentucky has already cost the
farmers $250,000 and there is danger
that the total damage will mount to
more than a million dollars, 1t became
known Tuesday afternoon when re-
ports from various counties in the
Burley belt were received in Lexing-
ton.
Frankly, we are up against it,"
Professor N. r. Elliott, of the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton declared last night. The expert
ment Station staff is hard at work on
remedy for the various infections re-
ported, some of which are new to Ken
lucky
The counties known to have devel-
oped tobacco infections include Fay
cite, Scott, Bourbon, Jessamine, Mer-
Ger, Clark, Boyle and Harrison.
On one farm alone, that of d. w.
Scott, former sheriff of Fayette coun-
ty, the loss is more than $4,000. The
loss on the farm of ]. D. Gay, near
Pine Grove, is estimated at $4,000.
At least two distinct diseases in
fecting plants in Central Kentucky
have been definitely identified. One is
what is commonly called rust" bac-
terial infection. The other bears a
close resemblance to wild fire." a bac-
terial infection which cost North Car
olina tobacco growers millions of dol
lars four years ago. This is the first
appearance so far as known, of the
latter disease in this state.
Both of the diseases identified are
spread by the wind.
DR.. w. D. Valleau, plant pathologist,
has taken charge of the fight on the
disease for the Experiment Station.
DR.. Valleau spent all day yesterday
visiting Fayette county tobacco fields.
He declared the situation to be alarm
ing. A large amount of wind and rain
at the present time will do consider
able damage to tobacco near infected
fields, DR.. valleau said last night.

Massachusetts, Governor Accept Hon.
Ors Of Party In His Home Town
Governor Morrow Makes
Address.

Northampton, Mass, July q. Il
Standing on small raised platform
overlooking tennis courts at Allen
Field Smith College, Governor Calvin
Coolidge today accepted the Repub-
lican nomination for the Vice Presi-
dency beforefmore than $4,000 specta-
tors
Governor Edwin p, Morrow, of Ken
lucky, made the notification address to
which Governor Coolidge responded,
Cal Coolidge receive this his high
est honor in his native city, and con-
fessed to a friend who rode with him
through the streets decorated in his
honor that he "felt kind of ashamed"
Before the ceremony hundreds of the
thousands who later crowded Allen
Field flocked up to the Coolidge home,
on Massasoit street, and took an inti-
mate peek into the home life of the
Republican vice presidential candi-
date
They found Gov. Coolidge in the
back yard, his coat off and his sleeves
rolled up, helping his two sons put the
finishing touches on homemade toy
wagon.
Rescue from the reactions of the
war was described as the transcendant
need of the nation in the address
which Governor Coolidge delivered in
accepting formally the Republican
nomination for Vice President.
"The chief task that lies before
u.s." he said, "is to reposses the peo-
pie of their Government and their
property"
Governor Coolidge found another
source Of gravest public concern to be
''the reactionary tendency of substi-
tute private will for the public will"
He said there had been disposition
or the part of certain individuals and
of groups to inquire whether they
liked the law, and If not, to disregard
1t and prevent its execution by the
method of direct action.
Observance of the law" he said, sis
the greatest solvent of public ILL.,"
He deplored attempts to cause class
distinctions.
Discussing economic relations Gov
ernor Coolidge declared the extrava-
CANT standards of Government expen-
diture, bred of recent years, must be
eliminated and revision of taxation
be accompanied by reduction Of pri-
vate extravaganza.
He urged o different public attitude
toward industry, larger comprehen-
sion of the interdependence of capital
management and labor, and better ia
cilities for the prompt and reasonable
adjustments of Industrial disputes.
The need of the farmers, he said, Is
an enlarged power or organization
whereby the original produced may
profit to larger degree by the high
price paid for his product by the ulti-
mate consumer and at the some time
decrease the cost OF food.
"The proposed League Of Nations,
without reservations, as submitted by
tho President to the Senate, met with
deserved opposition from Republican
Senator's" said Governor Coolidge.
