Fer Farm Bureau Members To BE
Held mt Washington School.

The first meeting of series of meet
ings in the interest of the Mason
County Farm Bureau will be held this
evening at the Washington Consol-
idated school building The speaker
of the evening will be Mr.. Carl W..
Buckler of the University of Ken
lucky, Mr.. Buckler is an expert in
agriculture, He is graduate of the
University of Illinois and has had ex-
tensiye experience in the state of West
Virginia, He only recently came to the
University of Kentucky and the farm
ers of the Washington neighborhood
are indeed fortunate in having an op-
portunity to hear him.
During the balance of the week
there will be other meetings in vari-
Gus parts of the county and it is hoped
that practically all of the farmers OF
the county will hear these visiting ex-
perts who will have message of
value to all farmers.
The chief purpose of these meetings
is to interest farmers in the Farm Bu-
reau organization, in which Mason
county was among the pioneer coun-
ties in the state. Mason county's Farm
Bureau has an enviable record of ac-
complishments and the officers of the
bureau hope to enlist the majority of
the progressive farmers in the county
in the organization. @Esa

THE CUP MAY Be
DECIDED IN RACE
OF YACHTS TODAY
Chances Strongly Favor British Boat
In Race for Championship Cup
OF Sandy Hook.

Sandy Hook, N j., July 21.-Today
may see the fate of Americas cup de-
cided. A southwestern wind in the
lower bay which developed at 1920 a,
M, gave promise that the Resolute and
Shamrock w. would start on time In
the fourth race today.
Earlier indications for race were
not encouraging, as the air was light
and the sea was dead
The streaky winds which favored the
Shamrock w., Tuesday, and brought
her, a winner, across the finish line,
vanished entirely in the night In case
there is race, victory for the Sham
rock will give the emblem of yachting
supremacy to Great Britain. To retain
the cup on this side of the ocean the
Resolute must capture three straight
races. The crew of the Resolute says
that all the luck has favored the chal-
lenger. They declare that in the first
contest the Resolute had the Upton
boat beaten when the defender was
forced to withdraw because of an acci-
dent that the Shamrock was badly
beaten in the second race, but the
Resolute could not finish because the
wind failed, and in Tuesdy's race the
Shamrock caught all the favorable
breezes.

JAMAICA GINGER SALES
ARE TO Be PROSECUTED
State Prohibition Director Makes Pub
lie Statement On Sales Of
Jamaica Ginger.

Jamaica ginger sales for beverage
purposes are beginning to cause a
great deal of complaint to Prohibition
Director James H. Combs at Lexington
and are likely to cause prosecutions,
Director Combs said.
The director called attention to the
fact that the law forbids the sale Of
Jamaica ginger for beverage purposes
just as much as it .forbids the sale Of
liquor for such purposes.
even in cases in which the prob
able use as beverage may be reason
ably deduced'," said Director Combs,
"the druggist or other person selling
Jamaica ginger lays himself liable to
prosecution"
The sales of Jamaica ginger are be-
ing investigated by the force of Di-
rector Combs Office and cases Of will
full violation of the law will be dealt
with he said.
Director Combs has not heard from
Federal Judge A. M. ]. Cochran in the
Louisville cases involving unlimited
whisky prescriptions by physicians
which has been under consideration by
Judge Cochran, but he said there has
been an appreciable falling off in the
whisky prescriptions in Louisville
since the Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury sustained the Kentucky di-
rector in his ruling to limit such pre-.
| scriptiOns.

ventiOn Held TOday-Many

will be in charge of round table dis
cussion on this most difficult depart
ment of the entire school.
Representatives of the State Sunday
School Association are present to as
sist in the program and to give the
delegates something worth while to
carry back to their schools that they
might be enlivened and started into
another year with a desire and deter
mination to make much better record
than has been made during the past.
1t should be said, however, that the re-
ports for the past year were indeed
encouraging.
The convention was royalty enter
tanned by the good people of Hilldale

GAS FAMINE MAY
GRIP OHIO IF LAW
WAS ENFORCED
Enforcement of West Virginia Steptoe
Law Would Greatly Eject Ohlo's
Fuel Supply.

Columbus, Ohio, July 20.-More than
100000 persons would be affected di-
rectly, either through complete or part
suspension of gas service furnished by
the Ohio Fuel Supply Company and the
Northwestern Ohio Natural Gas Com
pany, were West Virginia to curtail or
cut off the supply from that state, L.
B. Denning, Vice President of the
Ohio company, testified today at a
hearing here in the Ohio-Pennsyl-
vania-West Virginia gas case.
The hearing is before Levi S. Cooke,
Special Commissioner of the United
States Supreme Court in the case,
whereby Ohio and Pennsylvania seek
an Injunction against West virginia's s
enforcing the Steptoe act, which would
permit that state to shut off the supply
to other states.
Mr.. Denning produced figures show
ing that of approximately 41,0O0,000,-
900 feet of gas supplied by the two
companies in 1919, more than 15,000,.
100000 feet were purchased from West
Virginia, the remainder being produced
or purchased in Ohio. The companies
serve more than $50 cities and towns
many of which, including Columbus
and Springfield, obtain their entir,
supply from West Virginia. he said.
Columbus, Springfield and Hamilton
he said, have priority over the suppl,
furnished by the Ohio Fuel suppl,
Company to Cincinnati and Middle
town. The two latter cities, however
are not wholly dependent upon tha
company, Mr.. Denning said.
The companies involved in the sui
do not furnish the gas used in Mays
vile.
