Remarkable Undertaking. ccess-

gators of Early History.

Before the Trojan war. common
enterprises without plan were st-
tempted by the restless boidness OF
particular Grecian chleftains, but
they were not national undertake
ings. Bolduess caused Jason to per-
form the Argonautic voyage IN quest
of the gold Of Colchis, which was a
wonderful undertaking if the fact is
considered that navigation was then
In an infant state, and boldness
caused the chiefs of the Pelopon-
nesus to become partakers IN the
family feud of Thebes. Jason went
because of his desire for booty. The
Peloponnesian chiefs were moved by
the relationship Of a chief of Argos
to one Of the Theban princes. The
Peninsula Of Peloponnesus, the in
habitants Of which had little to fear
from external dangers, were emf
nently adapted for such exploits.
Pelops and Perseus gained and i'm
parted to their city of Argos such
preponderating influence that the
peninsula acquired a sort Of me-
tropolis. Athens interfereG less in
such restless movements, Atlica was
accordingly better civilized Its
high court became a venerable ex-
ample.

SUCH is FAME.
Health Promotion

The secretary of a periodical pub
lished not far from New York city
and noted for the literary flavor of
its editorial pages once received a
letter from subscriber asking for
the address of George Meredith, the
novelist. The secretary had a care.
full examination made of the long
pay roll of the company, but the
search was in vain. A reply was,
therefore, sent to the subscriber
couched in this language: -,
Owe are sorry that we are unable
to give you the address of George
Meredith, of our st. Louis Office
Perhaps you can ascertain it from
him."

USE OF cARBoRUNDUM.

Carborundum, the artificial sub
stitute for emery, which is said to
rival the diamond in hardness. is
used, because of its extraordinary
resistance to heat, as a coating for
the interior of furnaces. Finely
powdered and made into a paste, it
is applied with a brush, like paint,
to the brick lining.
1t is said that layer only two
millimeters thick will protect the
bricks from the effects of the high
est temperature that is ever pro-
duced in ordinary furnace combus-
ton.
Carborundum is itself product
of the electric furnace, being COM
posed Of silica and carbon fused in
the presence of salt and sawduSt.

Ideal Banking House Is Thrown Open
to the Public-Hundreds VIII View
One Of the Most Attractive
Banks In Kentucky.

The Bank of Maysvilles new home
located on the site of the old Bank of
Maysville building which was recently
torn down to give way to the new
structure, was thrown open to the pub
lie at o'clock this evening and re-
ception for the public will be held un
til late hour this evening during
which time the officers and employees
of the bank will show all visitors
every department of the complete new
building.
The construction of the new build
ing was commenced in July 1919, the
building which is supplanted having
been erected in 1877. The new build
ing is A by 10. The front lobby is
20 by 40 feet with an additional lobby
Is by 60 feet extending between the
counters. Probably the most attrac-
tive feature about the new building is
its abundance of daylight. No matter
how dark the day an artificial light
will not be necessary. At night the
whole building is illuminated from
lights concealed in the sky-lights.
There is not chandelier hanging in
the main banking room. This is an in
novation in lighting in this section and
is much more satisfactory than the old
system of decorated brass chandeliers.

Minerva HIGH SCHOOL
GOES Up IN CLASS A
Third High School In Mason County
To BE Put In Highest Class BY
State Recognition.

The Minerva High School which for
some time has been a recognized high
school has this year for the first time
reached the standard class A. and is to
be so recognized by the state school
authorities beginning this year. This
extra recognition comes because Of the
addition of an extra high school teach
er and the installation of some addi-
tional school equipment.
For some time the Maysville High
School and the Mayslick High School
have both been recognized as Glass A.
schools and with the addition of Min
erva to this list Mason county becomes
one of the leading educational counties
in tie state so far as high schools are
concerned. For several years we have
been leaders in consolidated schools
but we are now stepping up another
notch.
Although the Minerva school will
employ an additional teacher this year
they have not yet procured that teach
er, however. they expect to have this
vacancy filled before school opens the
first of next month.

MAySUck BOY Wins
TRIP TO STATE FAIR
Charles Galbreath Is Champion Boy
Farmer Of Mason County and Gets
Free Trip To Big Fair.

Charles Galbreath, of w. d. Gal
breath & Sons, Mayslick, has been
awarded the trip to the State Fair
Mays Encampment for the most out
standing work done in The Junior Ag-
ricultural Club work in Mason county.
Last year the trip-two trips in fact
were awarded to his brother, Russell
Galbreath, who is ineligible to make
the trip this year.
Charles has done fine work during
the past two years, and would have
won the trip last year but for his big
brother. He raised an acre of tobacco,
field of corn, the second prize gilt.
and assisted in raising the best Short
morn heifer shown at the Ewing and
Germantown fairs last year. This year
he has continued his work on the same
scale and has never been beaten on
his Poland Chinas and Shorthorns in
their class.
