RED CROSS ROLL CALL
WILL END THIS WEEK
Thanksgiving Day Supposed To Be
the Close Of the Campaign for /
Red Cross Members.

An army Of more than million
men and women, boys and girls. Is
putting over" the Fourth Roll Call of
the American Red Cross in Lake Di-
vision-Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.
This great body of workers includes
members. of 300 active Red Cross
chapters in the three states, boys and
girls of the Junior Red Cross, Boy
Scouts, thousands of American Legion
men and members of many business
and civic organizations.
Reports to Lake Division headquar-
ters in Cleveland indicate that last
years membership will be far outdis-
tanced and the present goal of 1,5OO,-
900 will be easily reached.
Orders for 1921 membership buttons
and other supplies have swamped the
Fourth Roll Call headquarters. Before
the supply of buttons was exhausted,
making necessary s. D. s. calls to
other divisions, 100000 had been
sent out to chapters.
The printing plant at division head
quarters has engaged an extra force
to supply emergency orders for re-
ceipts as a reult of underestimation of
Lake Divisions response in the Roll
Call.
In a number of cities Red Cross wo-
men workers are enrolling members
on the street cars while automobile
enrolment booths are being utilized
in many rural communities.

OPENING.
OF FAIR
TUESDAY
MAYSvILLE CORN AND TOBACCO
FAIR OPENS AT $3.50 TUESDAY
GREAT CROWDS ARE
: EXPECTED.

Everything is about ready for the
opening of the 1920 Corn and Tobacco
Fair. Work on the booths has been in
progress for the past several days and
those booths which are not ready will
be in shane for the opening of the big
show on Tuesday evening. The build
ing has been well decorated and ar
rangements to care for all entries
have been carefully made.
Mr.. H. C. Curran; official entry
clerk, has been very busy man this
morning. The rain of Sunday night
was great benefit to the fair for
much of the tobacco has been too dry
to handle during the recent cold spell
and the rain has put all of the weed
into good handling condition so that
the samples can be brought to the city
without great damage.
Secretary George Kirk was put in
immediate charge of the entire fair by
the managing committee on Saturday
evening. At that time they fixed the
formal opening Of the fair for $50
o'clock Tuesday evening and at that
time Goernor Edwin P. Morrow will
be in charge of the opening ceremon-
les. At Saturdays meeting it was
| also decided to issue season tickets
which will be sold to adults for $1.25
and to children for $1.00 admitting
the holders to all sessions Of the fair
The big social event of the week
will be the Governors Ball on Tues
day evening and from present indica-
tions 1t appears that the Liberty ware
house will be taxed to hold all Of the
people who will be in attendance
Tuesday at the formal opening, Ar
rangements for the Boys Band have
ben completed and they will be on
hand each evening to make music. The
Trinity Boys Band will furnish music

county neighbors will be the guests OF
honor. They are proud Of their bant
and all Maysvillians will be anxious tC
hear 1t in this, its, first appearance IL
Maysville.
The booths are very beautiful ant
some Of the entries promise to eclipse
any of the farm products ever ex
hibited at a local fair. The poultr,
has been placed in the driveway of thu
warehouse and arrangements hav'
been so that those attending the fai
can inspect the poultry carefully a
close range by making walkwa.
through the sunken section Of tn,

The building is properly heated b,
three large gas furnaces placed IL
three parts of the building and ther
is every reason to believe that every
one attending the fair will be quit
comfortable.

MAYSv|LLE TO
LOSE INTERNAL
REVENUE OFFICE
Local Branch Internal Reynue Office
Is Ordered Closed December 1st-
Effort To Retain Il Is
Being Made.

1t has Just been learned that the To-
cal Internal Revnue office at the Gov
ernment building will be closed the
first Of December unless the powers
that be are induced to change their
minds before that time.
The closing of the local revenue Of
flee would cause great inconvenience
in Maysville as manufacturers and
dealers requiring revenue stamps
would be compelled to order the same
by mail from the Lexington or Louis
Vile office. This would cause much
delay and inconvenience and those
who are most interested are making
an effort to have the State Revenue Of
ficials, who have ordered the local Of
flee discontinued, change their mind.
Local distilleries, selling liquor for
medicinal purpose, local cigar and to-
bacco manufacturers and local deal
ers on the looseleaf tobacco market
are required to use many revenue
STAMPS whic hthey are enabled to
purchase at the local office. They are
leading the fight and the Chamber of
Commerce is using its influence In an
effort to have the local office retained.
1t will be remembered that last
summer the local Office was ordered to
be discontinued but concerted ef-
fort on the part of local interests
saved the office for Maysville. 1t Is to
be hoped that those who are active In
the matter now will be just as sue
cessful as they were few months

HOLD Low GRADES
ADVICE GIVEN GROW.
ERS BY CANTR|LL
Light Weight Of Burley Crop Is Serl
Gus COndltiOn-COngressman Ad.
vises Kentucky Farmers TO Hold
Low Grades of the Market.

One month has completely reserved
a disastrous situation in the Burley
tobacco industry and created another
equally as serious.
When the doors of the tobacco
warehouses are opened in January, 1t
is practically certain that there will
be no, abnormally large crop waiting
to be sold upon the floors. "Over pro-
duction, the peril that three months
ago threatened to rock the foundations
of business, finance and agriculture in
Central Kentucky, is no more. In it's
place stands short weights and what
farmers believe is plan of manufac-
turers to get the present crop for a
"song."
The stick" of Burley tobacco-six
stalks-in 1919 averaged about one
pound and half in weight This year
because of quick growing, the ,ravages
of wildfire and rust and heavy rains,
1t averages a pound. This factor, a
late development, is expected by such
authorities as James Stone, president
of the Lexington warehousemen's as
sociation and John W. Newman, head
of the Burley Tobacco Growers As
sociation, to reuslt in 100000, 900
pounds crop instead of the 420, 1000, 900
pound crop estimated by the govern
ment from an investigation conducted
about August, when goblin short
weight had not appeared on the scene.
That the tobacco growers of Ken
lucky will get three times as much
money for the 200,000,000 pounds of
good tobacco they have raised this
year as they will get for the entire
crop Of 3OO,OOO,OOO pounds If they fail
to keep the low grades off the market,
was the statement of Congressman ].
Campbell Cantrill, himself large
landowner and tobacco raiser, on the
of his departure from the state Satur-
day night for Washington.
Mr.. Cantrill has been in Kentucky
for the past two weeks and he has de-
voted some time to personal investiga-
ton cs the reports that the tobacco
crop is much lighter than last years
with the result that he has come to
the conclusion, he said, that not more
than SOO,OO0,000 pounds had been
grown this year and Of this a third
was of low grade. He urges organiza-
tion Of the growers to hold the low
grades off the market.

MUSICAL COMEDY
HOLDS BOARDS At
THEATER TONIGHT
Popular Old Comedy Under n New
Name and With Added Features
To Be Seen Here This
Evening.

Good Morning, Judge" was orig
inally produced in London under the
name Of "The Boy" some three years
ago as an antidote for the gloom of
war that hung over the worlds me-
tropolis. 1t ran continuously at the
Adelphi Theater there until very re-
Gently and is now being given presen-
ttation throughout the larger cities of
England. The success that it achieved
was 80 great that last year alluring
inducements were held out to coax
the London owners to send the attrac-
ton to this country. This they re-
fused to do, but they arranged for
simultaneous production in New York
and dsen their London producer, the
late Wybert Stamford, with the tech
nical staff responsible for the original
London production to put 1t on.
Sir Arthur Wing Pinero insisted
that the original should be duplicated
without any change whatsoever and
his wishes were complied with to the
letter save that an American atmos-
phere was impaired to the cabaret
scene. Jack Mason, who is response
BILE for staging of most Of the musical
numbers at the New York Winter Gar
den took this feature in hand. The
change In name from "TAe Boy" to
Good Morning Judge" also was made
to keep within the American psychol-
ogy, but otherwise the production is
part and parcel counterpart Of that
disclosed at the premiere at the Adel-
phi Theater.
The success of Good Morning,
Judge" In New York was instantane-
GUS and 1t played to the capacity Of
the Shubert Theater throughout the
entire season, breaking all box office
records over large part of the
period. In fact it proved such SEN
sational success that the American
management negotiated a similar ar
rangement for Australia and placed a
company in operation there before the
close of the New York run.
