If we can evolve some plan to take

of very liberal prices at the hands

of the immense shortage in weight,
which every grower of tobacco who
has stripped a portion of his crop,
will testify to.

SOLD $1,000 WORTH
OF DOGS here IN A YEAR
Industry To Madison and
the State

Few realize what a great indus
try the fox hound business has
become in Madison and adjoining
counties. The recent National
meet at Grab Orchard gave some
evidence of the strength of the
game and its popularity with all
classes, especially in Kentucky
and the south. The demand for
the dogs that showed up well in
the trials there has proven that a
good fox hound will sell for about
as a much as a first class mule
these days. 1t is stated on relia-
bic authority that one Madison
county fancier sold $1,000 worth
OF fox hounds during the past sea-
son. That's going some.
Maupin Bros. of Richmond,
have already shipped out four
splendid specimens of this breed
since their dogs made such a fine
showing at the recent meet. They
sold two splendid females, known
as Name and Marge, to A. M.
Young, of Kansas City. "A Fiji
young dog went to Sam Wool
bridge, of Versailles, and an aged
dog to J r. Smith, Of Fayetteville
Tenn. Other fanciers are shipping
out a lot&ofs dogs ronsta atitlX, fbut

GYM OPENING
lat MADISON HIGH
There1l Be Happy Girls and Boys
Pumpkin Pie, and Oh, A
Great Time

On Friday night, November 10, the
new gymnasium at the Madison High
school will be formally opened, and
there will be an appropriate program
rendered of an informal nature upon
the Fart of/some of the students un-
der the guidance of Miss Lucille Dean,
of the English department.
This will be but a feature of the
festivities of the evening, since a
spirit of informality will prevail, and
there will be things even more enjoy
able, it is said, one of them being re-
freshments in the way of edibles ap-
propriate to the season of the year.
In frct, one of these choice features
will be pumpkin pie. This, it is said.
will be informal. too, and there will
be plenty to go "clear around" and
then some, according to Prof J. How
ard Payne.
The students will not be burdened
by being Jhostesses and hosts in z
formal way, but the evening will be
devoted to the inspection Of the new
addition to the institution which
has been longed for for many a day.
The floors have been oiled and the
finishing touches have reached tha,
stage where it may be said that the
gym is complete. There will be
equipment and paraphernalia gener-
ally furnished within a short time, it
is believed, and the girls and boys are
in high glee. They have simply
wanted place af this kind for some
time, and there has been nothing of
the kind for them heretofore.
The school is said to possess un-
usual talent in the way of athletics
With the completion of the gym it
is believed there will be an unusual
development along this line Much
interest is being taken by all, and the
public is invited to be in attendance
and take a look at the improvement
and enjoy the impromptu program
as well as the hospitality of the stu
dents and instructors.

WORK
NOT A failure
Declares Bishop Nicholson To
Methcdists At BoSton-More
Reports Made
(Rv Associated Pre..l

Boston, Mass, Nov. 1.-THE In
terchurch World Movement was "far
from a failure" in the opinion of
Bishop Thomas Nicholson, of Chi
cago who Tuesday addressed the
committee on conservation and adj
church. He added that a plan was
afoot "to bring all INSTRUMENTATION
|al Protestant forces together in
forward movement of larger proper
ton than any yet undertaken"
''The movement brought together
the Protestant churches in a cooper
alton never before known to them.
and actually resulted in the raising Of
S55, 900 .000," said Bishop Nicholson.
at has left a deepening conviction
throughout the nation that there
must be a perpetuation of the things
for which that movement stood. AS
chairman of the reorganization COM
mittee, / can say that we have just
completed in New York three days
series of conferences with various in
terdenominational organizations. We
found a universal desire for the
reorganization and continuation Of
the interchprch movement either un-
Ter that or some other name.
"The meeting in New York last
week convinced me more than ever
before that the aims and ideals Of
the last three years are desirable,
profitable and workable. We shall
learn by our mistakes, but we shall
go forward on large lines"
Bishop Nicholson advocated nation
wide evangelistic campaigns and
pleaded for continuation of mission
ary work in Korea.
az am convinced" he said, that
the spread of Christianity among
these oriental peoples, who are nat
urally religious and who are deeply
and mystically pious, is really
piece of world salvation. The church
has within its power to prevent what
otherwise viii be the world clash be-
tween Oriental and Occidental. be-
tween the white and yellow races"
Large Missionary Effort
The largest number of new mis-
sionar;es ever sent to foreign fields

Methodist Episcopal church was re-
ported Tuesday by DIR. Frank Mason
North, corresponding secretary of
the church's board Of foreign mis-
sions. He reported to the council of
boards CT benevolence of the church,
which is in session here.
DR.. North said the largest previous
year was 1917, when 96 foreign mis-
sionaries were appointed. For the fis-
cal year just appointed. however, 275
new missionaries were sent out, 80
going to South America, GO to China,
50 to Indiana and Burma, 80 to Af-
RIGA, 6 to Mexico, 5 to Japan, to
Korea and 2 to Europe.

SUES TO COMPEL
FURNISHING OF GAS
Mrs. Buchanan Asks Court To
Compel Company To Run
PIPE To Her Property

Sitting in chambers Thursday
morning, Judge W.R. Shackelford
sustained demurrer offered by
ATTORNEY A. R. Burnam to a petit
ton filed by Attorney E. S. Wig
gins on behalf of Mrs. Hattie
Buchanan, which sought a writ
of mandamus to compel the Rich
mond Water & Light Co., to fur
nish gas to residence property
owned by her on First street.
Judge Shackelford sustained
the demurrer on the ground that
the franchise granted the local
gas and water company by the
legislature in 1875 provides that
it need only furnish gas to Gus
toners when terms are mutually
agreed upon. The petition alleg-
ed that under the Company's fran
chise it was compelled to furnish
its service
In sustaining the demurrer. the
Judge pointed out, however, the
method that seemed to him to be
necessary to secure a remedy, II
his views, expressed without in
vestigating the law or court opin-
ions, should prove correct. He
suggested that the petition should
be amended to show any pros
criptive right plaintiff might have
to secure the service sought, by
reason of years Of such service
and which has now been discon-
tinued.
The suit resulted from refusal
oj the company to bear the cost
Of new gas main to connect
with Mrs. Buchanan's property on
First street. At the time OF the
laying of the new paved streets,
the old main, the company says
was found rusted and rotten and
had to be torn out: Having he1
property equipped for gas and
her tenants having used it for
years, Mrs. Buchanan demanded
that new service pipe be install
ed by the company. The gas conn
pany COntended that the property
owners who connect with its
mains must bear the expense Of
the service pipes connecting with
their places of business or resi-
tfences.. Mrs. Buchanan refused to
bear this expense and had Attor-
ney Virgins file this suit for a
to compel the gas COM
pany to install a new pipe and
furnish her gas service.
In going over the matter al
length Judge Shackelford said d
pertinent point in the contention
would be the question Of whether
the property owner or the gas
company had in the first place
had the service pipe installed Or
at whose expense it was done.
The Judge indicated that further
steps in the case might depend
upon showing on this question.

FANS HERE SEEM
TO FAVOR LEAGUE
Many Express Enthusiasm Over
Prospect of Revival Of Blue
Grass Baseball

Suggestions that if the Blue
Grass League is revived next
spring, that Richmond have a
team in it, are meeting with favor
on the part of fans on all sides.
Enthusiasm would be a better
word to express what the fans are
saying to the Sporting Editor of
the Daily Register and others who
are feeling out the proposition.
The fans seem to want Richmond
to have a team and many of them
have said so, and said so in a way
which talks Money talks. Many
of the fans have already offered
to "kick in" with a nice piece Of
change to start the team off.
Plans are still in the making.
however, and the question of just
how strong a degree of support
the fans are willing to give will
determine what Richmond's s
course will be if the Blue Grass
League is revived. Suggestions
of league to take in western
Kentucky towns are not looked
upon with favor here The ole
league circuit, say with Winches-
ter, Paris, Frankfort, Lexington,
and perhaps Maysville or Danville
would undoubtedly be much more
productive of results both finan-
cial and otherwise.
In the old league, the various
teams spent much of their time or
railroad trains and in hotels, but
with present day automobile con
veniences, it would be a might
easy matter to transport the team
from one of these places to the
other, and return in the evening
This would keep the team togeth-
er and permit the players to really
call Richmond home.
The question of players would
not be hard matter, fans say
here. Richmond and Madison
county already have a lot OF
young fellows who would jump at
chance to make good in league
baseball with prospects of going
to the Big Leagues if they show
anything in the Blue Grass Lea-
que. Irvine has already sent ono
player to the Louisville team fol
next year. Paint Lick has crack
er jack team, and other nearby
towns would undoubtedly have
representation on Richmond's
nine 1t would be a great oppor
tunity for youngster who want
ed to get into the big time circuit
to cut his eye teeth.
Fans who are discussing the
matter say that it would be neces-
sary. to have regulations that
would compel the towns in this
league to use this amateur OF
semi-pro talent, and not overbur-
den the clubs with broken-down
players from the big line.
Anyway these details will all be
worked out, undoubtedly if the
movement gets the right sort Of
encouragement from the fans Of
the Blue Grass section.
