TURKEY CROP IS
SHORT THIS SEASON
Shipments From This Section 10 the
City Markets Are About Half
OF the Average.

Slaughterers Of turkeys in this city
and vicinity this year report big
shortage Of the crop of this toothsome
bird this year. consequently somebody
is going to do without turkey on
Thanksgiving.
Up to today only about one-half as
many fowls have been slaughtered as
had been last year, dealers being un-
able to get them, and the short crop
has made the price soar to 81 cents
per pound mark for turkeys on foot,
and after they are dressed and ready
for the retail market the price. will
more than likely look like so cents
per pound.
We are sincerely in hopes the
butcher man will not see this and
raise the price of soup bones so that
we will be knocked out of our turkey
for Thanksgiving.

METHODIST KNOW NO LET Up.

With the same inspiration. organi-
zation and determination with which
they launched and carried to a sue
cessful conclusion their great Centen-
airy subscription drive. they are now
keeping their people eIthused over
the collection of these pledges.
The Southern Methodists of Ken
lucky have appointed November 2l-2S.
1920. as "Pay-up Week.
The secretaries are being cheered
by the assuring messages Of full roll
lections, and the fine reports OF the
treasurers, to pass on the good news,
which, in turn, is arousing the church
throughout the site.
The membership of each Methodist
conference felt the honor of a part in
the subscription effort OF the summer
of 1919. and the outgrowth of that
feeling and that success Is the present
expression Of faith in the centenary,
and the forward movement being in
augurated by the local and connec-
tional offices.

lexington BOY
SCOUT PARADE HAD
TOO MUCH WEATHER
But Drive Continued-Maysville Boys
Band Center OF Attraction
Headed By Federal Judge
Cochran.

Rotten luck seems to go with the
Maysville Boys Band on their big city
trips.
A drenching downpour Of rain
drowned out the big Knights Templar
parade in Cincinnati and snow
storm and sloppy streets caused the
Lexington Boys Scout to call on the
big parade in Lexington Tuesday af-
ternoon. Our band captured the me-
tropolis of the Bluegrass on Tuesday,
however. despite their inability to ap-
pear on parade.
The band was met at the Lexington
union depot by large delegation of
Maysville people headed by Judge A,
NJ. ]. Cochran, who was just little
late at opening Federal Court in Lex
ington. awaiting to greet the Mays
vile youngsters.
Concerts in the lobbies of the Phoe-
nix and Lafayette Hotels attracted
great crowds and brought much en-
coring and many compliments from
Lexington people. A great delegation
OF Lexington Boy Scouts were
grouped about the band at the LaFay-
ette concert Tuesday evening. The
scouts carried banners which read:
I'VE Want Band Like This One.
Help Lexington Get Boys Band.
and the like.
The band never played better and
their music was heartily appreciated
as was evidenced by the great throne
gathered in the lobby and the liberal
applause.
During the morning the boys were
the guests of the Lexington Boy
Scouts on an automobile trip about
the city.

MERCHANTS URGED TO
MAKE HOLIDAY DISPLAYS
During Fair Week In Store Windows
Decorating of Booths Can
Begin Thursday.

Requests that the merchants of
Maysville take advantage of fair
week to display their holiday goods.
and prepare attractive window dis
plays are being mailed to Maysville
business men today by Secretary
George Kirk. He lays particular en-
phasis on the fact that there will be
manp visitors at fair who do not ha-
bitually trade in Maysville. and points
out the opportunity to increase local
business by means of attracting new
customers.
Mr.. Kirk also wishes to call atten-
tion to the fact that the booths will be
ready for occupancy tomorrow morn
ing, some of them being ready now.
He stated that there should be no ex-
cuse for delay in preparing the booths.
and urges those who haves exhibits
have them ready for the opening Of
the fair. Everything should be fin
ished by Monday night at the latest,
and preferably Saturday night
The decorating Of the Liberty ware
house was started Tuesday and Mr..
Kirk and two helpers expect to have
the work completed by Thursday. The
booths for the concessions which the
Chamber Of Commerce will operate
have been COMPLETED and will be dec
grated today.
All booths will be around the walls
with the exception Of the concessions
referred to. the Manual Training
booth, and the Farm Bureau and the
Chamber of Commerce rest room and
information bureau. The old prac-
tice Of placing booths in the main
floor caused congestion of the crowds
which will be avoided this year.
Every provision for comfort has
been made. and ore can remain from
morning to night with eats, drinks
and amusements in profusion all un-
der one roof
Attention is again called to the in
creases in the premiums offered in

including the election of sales super

The date Of opening of the Maysville
loose leaf tobacco market will be de-
cided upon at-this meeting. Just what
the date will be is still problematical,
there being some who want the mar
ket opened in December while others
favor opening the first week in jan

for January 4th. the day the market
opens at Lexington.

ORGANIZATION OF
BURLEY ASSOCIATION
FINISHED TUESDAY
The Thlrty-0ne Incorporators Elect
Officers and Transact Other Busi.
ness at Lexington
Meeting.

Immediate organization of statist-
ical, educational and administrative
divisions followed the election of di-
rectors and officers of the Burley To-
bacco Growers Association at Lexing-
ton Tuesday.
The thirty-one incorporators of the
reorganization. the scope of which will
extend from Virginia to Missouri,
gathered in the general offices of the
assocition Tuesday morning at II
O'Clock to elect officers, but as there
were several absent of the directorate
the election was postponed until No
vember 30th.
The statistical division, as outlined
Monday afternoon by temporary Off
GERS of the company, will have charge
of the work of ascertaining the num-
ber of acres under cultivation, tobacco
barns, sticks, equipment and ware
houses in the Burley Belt and keeping
on file at general headquarters at all
time such information as is consid-
cred important to the proper conduct
Of the associations program.
This department is counted upon as
being one of the most important in the
organization. The program outlined
for 1t would practically prevent inac-
curacies in crop estimates, such as
growers believe are present in the re-
port on the 1920 Burley crop made
public Saturday by government agen-
cies.
The educational division will CO.
operate with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, State De-
partment Of Agriculture and other
agencies in insuring that all men,
bers of the association get first-hand
information on the latest develop
ments toward the growing of high
grade Burley tobacco at a minimum
cost Means Of combating rust, wild
fire and other plant ravages will come
within its scope.
The administration division will
have charge of the conduct of the or
ganiEation. According to temporary
officials. it will work to prevent what
is known as "over production" unset
tied conditions and disastrous prices
After the organization is firmly on its
feet a promotion division is expected
to be established. The purpose of this
organization will be to insure a steady
market for American grown Burley
tobacco at prices fair to the grower
