ways Best

No. musical comedy of the Broadway
season has achieved the popularity
that has been won by Listen Lester"
which comes to the Washington The
ater on Thursday, January 9Th. Pro-
duced under the direction of John
Cort, Listen Lester" was welcomed
into New York and soon was classified
as the smartest dancing musical COM
edy of the year.
The work of Harry L. Cort. George
E. Stoddard, and Harold Orlob, lis
ten Lesten" soon brought goodly
amount of fame to these three young
men from the West. Its plot, smother
ed in captivating songs and snappy
dances, concerns the tribulations of a
flirtatious colonel, who only eludes
one pursuing damsel to fall into the
clutches of more sophisticated wild
ow. Pretty girls who crowd the South
ern winter resorts surround the Col
onel in Florida, a pert hotel clerk, a
weak but willing porter. the Lester
who listens much but not we'll, furnish
the story with laughter and jokes that
have become classics. The music is
rollicksome, the costuming gorgeous
the whole production which has moi
been seen for many a day.

SOLDIERS BONUS
WOULD COST NATION
OVER 100000
Secretary Of the Treasury Submits
Estimate Of Large Sum Necessary
To Meet Any Suggested
Plan.

Washington, Dec. 2S. - Approx
mately s2,3OO,0OO,OO0 was the estimate
submitted today by Secretary Houston
of the Treasury as the cost of carry
ing out provisions of the soldier bonus
bill.
The Treasury Secretary presented
his estimate to the Senate Finance
Committee without comment, other
than to urge that no legislation be en-
acted which would lay an additional
burden on the nations finances. The
estimate was accompanied by figures
showing the cost of carrying out any
one of the five optional provisions of
the bonus bill, provided all former
service men chose a single plan. The
figures for the various plans ranged
from $1,342,OO0,0O0, for the adjusted
pay provision, to s4,534, 100000 for the
insurance provision. The maximum
possible cost of the vocational train
ing aid and the farm and home devel-
opment plans were placed at $780,
100000 each, while the Secretary said
the fifth provision, a plan for land
settlement, held so many uncertain
ties that it was impossible to estimate
the possible expenditure.
Submission Of the estimated total
cost made an apparent impression
upon members of the committee,
which is considering the bonus bill as
passed by the House at the last ses-
sion.
Members declined to forecast the
decision of the committee on the ques-
tion Of reporting out the measure, but
1t was recalled that Senator McCum-
ber, Republican, North Dakota, said
at the opening OF hearings on the bill
that its passage would depend largely
on the state of government finances
and that Mr.. Houston has testified the
Treasury. with normal expenditures,
would have a deficit of s2,100, ,OOO, 900
for the year ending next June 30, and
deficit of s1.5OO,OOO,OOO for the fol-
lowing twelve months.

ALL ATTENTIONNOW
TURNS TO OPENING
OF TOBACCO MARKET
Delivery Of Tobacco Ready for Sale
Expected to Be Brisk this Week
Growers Anxious to Know
Their Fate.

With the passing of the Christmas
season all attention is being turned
toward the opening of the tobacco
markets in Kentucky next week and
the farmers are on their tip-toes anx-
locus to learn their fate for upon the
prevailing price at the opening sales
much is to depend, the growers think
at this time.
The looseleaf market in Kentucky
will be opened Monday Of next week
at Lexington. Maysville will be the
second in the Burley belt to open, the
first sales being held here on Tues
day and on Wednesday and Thursday
the smaller markets in this section OF
Kentucky and Southern Ohio will hold
their first sales. The success of the
smaller markets will depend much on
the opening prices at Lexington and
Maysville.
Interest in the opening price was
never before keener than it is this
year and this is calculated to attract
a great crowd of growers to the OPEN
ing sales. AS few of the growers are
expected to attend the Lexington
opening and as Maysville opens only
day later, it is thought that hun
dreds of growers from all sections OF
the Burley district will come to Mays
vile Tussday to see with their own
eyes the progres of the sales, the
grades and colors in demand and the
prices being offered by the dealers fol
all grades.
A complete corps of buyers repre-.
senting all of the larger manufacture
ers will be on the Maysville market
from the sound of the opening gons
and competition in several grades is
expected to be considerable yet there
is no one who will venture to ever
intimate where the opening average
might be placed.
The location of the opening sale
will start promptly at o'clock Tues
day morning. All houses are now re-
ceiving tobacco but there is very little
on the floors and unless there Is
rush in the next few days, the openinf
sales will be small ones.

F|UME REPORTED
TO HAVE FALLEN
TO NAT|ONALISTS
POet-Warrior Is Reported to Have
Been Seriously Wounded In De-
Tending His Last Stand Against
Italian NatiOnalists.

London. December 2S. - There is
reason to believe Fiume is occupied
by regular troops. Premier Giolitti of
Italy declared at press conference in
Rome last night, says Central News
dispatch from that city.
News confirming reports that
Gabrielle d'Annunzio the Italian in
surgent leader at Fiume, had been
wounded in the recent fighting be-
tween his legionaires and General
Caviglia's regular troops, was receiv-
ed here today.
Newspaper reports received here
declare that the wound was caused by
fragment of shell which fell on the
palace where d'Annunzio has his
headquarters.
A Rome dispatch states that Pre-
mier Giolitti declared to a delegation
from Parliament that Italy was
forced to hasten her action against
d'Annunzia to avert an attack upon
Fiume by Jugo-Slavia.
Italian troops attempting to dis
lodge legionaires at lara we're him
dered in their work by women of that
city, according to Rome dispatches.
AS the troops advanced toward the
barracks where the legionaires were
stationed many women formed in line
in front of them. screaming, xiii us

MASON COUNTY TO
PAY ITS LAST Debt
on next SATURDAY
County VIII Be Entirely Out Of Debt
When Last Of Road Bonds are
Paid on the First Of January
Few Counties In Its Class.

Mason county will be entirely out of
debt the first day of January when
the County Commissioners pay the
last block of $4,000 worth of road
bonds.
This is a record of which the peo-
pie Of Mason county can justly feel
proud for there are few, If any, coun-
ties in the state of Kentucky who can
boast of their being entirely out of
debt. On the contrary. the majority of
the counties in Kentucky have on
their hands thousands of dollars
worth Of bonds OF various kinds which
will keep them in debt for o score of
years or more.
After these $4,000 worth of bonds
are taken up, funds for which are now
In sinking fund, provided by taxa
tion over a period of years. the county
will have absolutely no outstanding
debts except a small amount which is
owing for the Winter property on
Court street adjoining the court house
which is taking care of itself.
The present board of County Com
missioners and County Judge Purnell
are to be congratulated upon the care
full manner they have managed the
fiscal affairs of the county during
their term of Office. Mason county
will soon be in class in which she
will have few associates throughout
the whole of the United States and
will be in spelendid condition for the
proper sort Of road Improvement
