HON. N. J. HENNESSEY WILL
MAKE MEMORIAL ADDRESS
Well Known Bracken County Orator
WIN Deliver EulOgy For American
Legion Sunday Afternoon.

The committee in charge of arrange
ments for the Memorial Day celebra-
tion to be held at Beechwood Park on
Sunday afternoon, was this morning
notified by Hon. M. ]. Hennessey, of
Augusta that he would be glad to ac-
cept their invitation to deliver the an
nual eulogy. This information was a
great relief to the committee and will
be decidedly good news to the public.
Although resident of Bracken
county, Maysville has some claim to
Matt Hennessey and we like to think
of him as one of our own. He is recog-
nized as one of the best orators in the
whole of the state of Kentucky and is
always greeted by very large audi
ence when he speaks in Maysville.
Besides an address by Mr.. Hennes-
sey the committee is arranging a very
attractive program of music and the
Boys Band will be at their best. Every
ex-service man and all citizens are
invited to spend Sunday afternoon al
Beechwood Park to do honor to the
heroes of all American Wars who have
passed on.

SUICIDE STORY is
PROVEN FALSE BY
SPECIAL COMMISSION
Blame for Carranza's Assassination Is
Placed On HerrerO by Commits
sion In Report.

Mexico City, May 26-Blame for the
assassination of Venustiano Carranza,
former president, was placed definitely
upon Rudolo Herrero and his follow
ers in a report made today by the COM
mission sent to Tlaxcalantongo by
General Alvaro Obregon to investigate
Carranza's death
The commission in making its report
urged a formal hearing be held to
establish Herrero's motive and the re-
sponsibility of the individual members
of the band as we'll as to determine
the conduct of Carranza's cabinet
members, his friends and defenders,
who accompanied him in his fight.
Herrero carefully planned his coup
by gaining Carranza's confidence,
which he then betrayed, the commits
sion reported.
The report returned by two men ap-
pointed from the staff of General OBJ
regon and two representing General
Gonzales, did not differ in its salient
features from the story told by General
Amador. one of Carranzas aides, when
he returned to Mexico City with the
body of his murdered chief Herreror's
men ATTACKED the former presidents
hut from all sides the commission
reported
The commission was unable to ex-
plain how other occupants of the shack
escaped any injury.
The report cited the conclusions of
the commission in 10 sections. To this
was added a second part in which Cen
eral Juan Berlanga, Carranga's chief
of staff. and other Carranza officials
are charged with displaying bitterness
against the new regime.
Colonel Ramirez, who supported
Berlanga. was quoted as saying that
although Herrero organized the plot to
assassinate Carranza, Colonel Marquee
Ceron led the attack and directed the
fire against the little hut under the
cover of darkness.

TREATMENT HERE
Lexington Newspaper Men Have Good
Words For Maysvillc After Visit
Here on Monday
Evening.

Lexington newspapers today are fill
ed with good things about the cities
through which the Lexington party
passed Monday and Tuesday on their
good-fellowship tour Both the Lex
ington Leader and Herald have big
write-ups of their visit to Maysville.
The Lexington Leader says in part
THE motorcade was met about three
miles from Maysville by a committee
of prominent men and women and es-
corted into the city with as cordial a
welcome as could have been given a
Governor, or a President of the United
States and his party. In fact, that has
been the attitude of the people at every
point the Lexington bunch has stop
ped. Here it may have been in part in
tended to show the Lexington visitors
the warm spot in the heart of the peo-
pie of Maysville for their former
townsman, Judge Kerr, but the well
come was certainly geunine and all
that could have been expected.
At the meeting Monday night Mayor
Russell said the citizens of Maysville
took a great deal of pleasure in well
coming the Lexington crowd. He told
of the days when Maysville was the
port for Lexington and predicted that
with the revival of river traffic and the
establishment of good roads and the
automobile truck in transportation it
would again be LeXington's port.
The Herald says in part: Striking
features of the tour were the recep-
tions at Cynthiana and at Maysville,
the first being the occasion of 'one of
the finest dinners ever served in Ken
lucky and the latter a turning over
of the city to its guests, eating, dane
ing and sightseeing, quite unexpected
in its thoroughness and never surpass-
ed in its enjoyment
The tourists spoke repeatedly of
their reception at Maysville, where, on
behalf of his townsmen, Mayor Thomas

Careful Timber Cutting
And Cooperative Sale
Profitable In West

With the help of the forest service
and the county agent, number Of
farmers who live in Hangman Valley,
Wash, just north of the Palouse di-
vision of the st. Joe forest, are CO.
operating this year in the sale of
about 300,000,O00 feet of timber.
Last fall the forest service was re-
quested to aid these farmers in dis
posing of a considerable amount of
timber on their claims. 1t developed
that there were approximately 200
settlers who owned about SOC, 900, 900
feet of timber which they desired to
dispose of as a unit in order to at
tract some company capable of han
ding the entire proposition. They
were, however, unable to agree upon
satisfactory price. The project had
been worked up by the local county
agent, a former forest service man,
from whom the request for help
came.
The forest service agreed to make
an appraisal of the timber and to
assist in drawing up a contract anG
sale conditions. The appraisal was
made last spring and price fixed OF
about $3.50 per thousand feet. AL
though the land is we'll adapted to
agriculture, it will not be possible for
the owners TO put all OIL II lnlO CulLI-
walton for a number of years. Con-
sequently it is to their advantage to
devote it to growing timber until
such time as it is needed for raising
crops. The stand consists of yellow
pine of a good quality and contains
large number of trees just below
understandable size which will make
rapid growth when the old timber is
removed. 1t is distinctly a case where
it will pay the farmers to grow trees.
These facts were explained to the
members of the association and they
quickly saw the advantage of han
ding the forest in the manner recon-
mended In order to save the young
growth they agreed to sacrifice 80
cents per thousand on the stumpage
price.
Farmers in general who own small
bodies of timber will find it profitable
to cooperate with their neighbors IN
marketing their grown timber IN
many cases the individual amounts
are too small, as in the above IN
stance, to make it profitable for their
owners to advertise for bids or Tor
sawmilfs to come in. When care IS
taken in selecting and cutting timber
a woodlot may be made source OF
income to it's owner for an INDEFINITE

When poultry are to be transferred

they be kept three days and nights

Shipment of Bad Eggs
Means Expensive Loss
And Decreases Dema

keted were not sufficient in quality to
command a price of 81 IL cents a
dozen.
Jeopardizes Fair Business Relations
While, of course, every shipment of
eggs is not 20 per cent bad, the prin-
ciple in the foregoing illustration ap-
plies to every instance where other
than perfectly sound eggs are shipped
to market. Inferior eggs are some
times included with good eggs, upon
the assumption that even a small
price for them is better than nothing.
This is fallacy, for even though the
price realized may pay the cost OF
handling and transportation, the
practice jeopardizes the fair and
above-board business relationship
that should exist between seller ana
buyer.
The bureau of markets maintains
special division with regard to the
marketing of dairy products. Based
upon the actual experiences of thou
sands of dairy farmers throughout
the United States, careful studies of
every phase of dairy products mar
keting are made by this division and
the results used to help farmers solve
their marketing problems.
No matter how hopeless of solution
your marketing problems may seem,
call upon the bureau of markets. Ger
tainly, out Of the experience of thou
sands of other farmers a solution can
be found
The outstanding features in the
egg production and marketing meth
DDS recommended by the bureau are
the production of eggs free from dirt,
clean nests, and daily gatherings.
The eggs should be kept in a cool,
dry place, and protected from heat
and moisture when taken to market.
They should be candled by the coun-
try buyer or dealer, and purchased
on a 1oss-off' basis. In Grating,
new cases and No. 1 filters and flats
should be used to prevent breakage
in transit.
