CORN AND TOBACCO
FAIR PLANS were DIS
CUSSED LAST NIGHT
Chamber of Commerce Directors Hold
Enthusiastic Meeting Planning Big
Things for Maysville's Biggest
Annual Event In November.

The most enthusiastic meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Maysville
Chamber of Commerce held in two
years was that held Wednesday eve
ming at the Chambers offices when
matters now under way were discussed
thoroughly and new life was infused
into the organization which seems to
have been slumbering for the past sew
eral months
Plans for this summers chautauqua
the organization of city baseball
league and plans for the big annual
Corn and Tobacco Fair were the mat
ters discussed by the Directors.
John Hurst Adams, of Minerva, As
sistant County Agent, was named
county representative for the chau-
tauqua and this event will be made
more of a county event this year than
ever before. A big effort will be made
to sell large number of season tick
cts to the residents of Mason county
and this campaign will be in the cam
plete hands of Mr. Adams. Miss 70
rada Cochran will continue to manage
the city campaign and with these two
campaign leaders it is safe to say the
chautauqua will be great success.
The 1920 Corn and Tobacco Fair had
the greatest amount of attention from
the Directors and plans were discuss
ed to make this years fall fair the big
gest thing possible. Efforts will be
made to procure the Home warehouse
for the show and cattle and farm pro-
ducts will also be entered in the fair
as well as tobacco and corn. A pro-
gram of which Maysville and Mason
county can be proud will be arranged.
1t was definitely decided that the fair
should be held this year in November,
the exact days to be announced just as
soon as it was possible to do so. =.

SECOND ATTEMPT is
MADE AT SUICIDE
BY WOMAN TODAY
Mrs. Harry Grimes Jumps Into County
Infirmary Pond But Is Rescued
Before She Sank-Suffers
From Mental Troubles.

Mrs. Harry Grimes, who about three
months ago swallowed a quantity of
poison in an attempt to end her own
life, made another futile attempt at
suicide this morning at about II
o'clock when she jumped into the
county infirmary pond. She was res
cued, however, by Mr.. Preston Tully,
who was near the pond at the time.
Mrs. Grimes, who has been suffering
from mental strain for several months,
alighted from an east-bound car at the
County Infirmary lane and evidently
had been making preparations for her
plunge into the pond for some time for
the car upon which she was a passen-
ger had rounded the east end loop and
was nearly to the pond on its return
railroad side into the pond. Fortunate
ly the water was shallow at the point
where she jumped and Mr.. Tully who
was walking along the railroad, hear
ing the laundering in the pond ran to
it and with the assistance of Motor
man Frank Limerick and Mr.. Robert
Cole, a passenger on the car, succeed
ed in pulling her out of the water.
The unfortunate woman was imme-
diately taken to her home in East Sec
ond street in an automobile and suf-
fered none from her experience except
from nervousness. Mrs. Grimes recent
ly returned to her home here from a
private sanatorium at Lexington and
was thought to have been much inn
proved.

DEADLOCK
ON LEAGUE HOLDSUP
THE Big CONVENTION
Report OF Platform Committee is
Awaited-Big Fight on COnven-
tiOn Floor Is Certain To
Follow Report.

Chicago, June 10.-When the dele
gates and visitors began struggling
into the convention hall, this morning
for the third session of the Republican
national convention, a new eagerness
and interest was easily noticeable. 1t
was believed that, today, the intense
/ struggle that has hitherto been carried
on in committee rooms and candidates
headquarters would reach the floor of
the convention and the long expected
fireworks begin.
Apparently the predicted deadlock
has come but not the one forecasted.
The deadlock is over the platform in
stead of over the nominees. of course,
things have come to a standstill more
or less among the candidates but that
always solves itself sooner, or later
But the deadlock over the platform
that is a novelty and just how it will
eventuate no one predicts.
The platform committee, after being
in tempestuous session until l o'clock,
this morning, adjourned until 3
o'clock, and, they are reported to be
far from ready to submit their work to
the convention. Only one question re-
mained to be decided, but that was the
big questionable League of Nations.
No matter what the decision may be,
there is certain to be a fight on the
convention floor.
While a program has been prepared
for todays session, it all hangs upon
when the platform will be reported. If
the platform is not submitted today,
then the convention will begin to hear
nominating speeches, if one proposal
is adhered to. If the speeches are bar
red. then will come quick adjournment
till either tonight or tomorrow. Should
the platform be more delayed than is
now expected, it is possible that the
convention will proceed not only with
| the nominating speeches, but will go
ahead and nominate and let the plat
form question be decided afterward
