ment but the correcting of an error.

MEETING TUESDAY TO
DISCUSS LABOR DAY
Union Heads To Meet at Chamber Of
Commerce Tuesday Evening to Dis.
cuss Plans for Labor Day.

Definite plans for the celebration of
Labor Day here on next Monday will
be dicussed at meeting of the Presi-
dents and Secretaries Of all Of the To-
cal labor unions to be held at the
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday eve
ming at 1880 o'clock.
Secretary George Kirk is calling
this meeting that all of the union Off
cials might get together and discuss
intelligently some plan of celebration.
1t is understood that already plans
have been laid for at least two ball
games on this holiday but 1t is more
than likely that the local unions will
want to observe the day as picnic at
Beechwood Park. The Boys Band will
more than likely give 3 park concert
and there may be come speaking.
The day will be generally observed
as a holiday throughout the city and
the city schools, although usually
scheduled to open on the first Monday
in September, will not open until the
next day-Tuesday to give all of the
children an opportunity to join in the
celebration of labor's holiday.

made an urgent plea for the high
schools.
Following a few minutes recess
Supt Turnipseed introduced Supt.
w. p King of Newport, KY, who will
instruct the institute. Mr.. King in a
very pleasant Introductory indicated
that there was only one direction to-
ward which good institute functions,
and that one is to send the teachers to
their respective schools in happy
mood, feeling that theirs is work
worth while.
Mr.. King then entered upon the first
of his course of lectures, "The Person
ell Fitness of the Teacher" which he
handled in a most interesting and
helpful manner.

Martin, Lucy Shipley, Amanda Nc

HEAVY RAINSTORM
DOES MUCH DAMAGE
IN THIS COUNTY
Rain and Wind Sunday Afternoon Does
Much Damage Throughout This
Section - Railroad Trestle
Is Threatened.

The rain and wind storm which WIS.,
tied Maysville and Mason county late
Sunday afternoon did probably more
damage throughout this section than
any storm which has visited us in this
summer of heavy rains and terrific
thunder storms.
Limestone Creek which divides East
and West Maysville was probably
never so wild in the past twenty-five
years as it was during and following
this storm. Roads and pixies through
out the county were' damaged much
while culverts and bridges were swept
out.
The most serious damage was prob
ably done in the neighborhood between
Mayslick and Lewisburg. Mr.. Frank
Lee, who lives in this section lost a
large barn which was blown down and
completely ruined. 1t is insured in
the Mason County Mutual Insurance
| Company. Mr.. Mark Brannon also had
two large barns unroofed and in this
section hillside crops were washed
away.
Near the mouth of Limestone Creek
a part of the C. & o. railroad tresle
Foundation was undermined and so
dangerous does the damage appear
that railroad officials have condemned
J the westbound main line and all trains
are crossing the trestle on the east
bound track until the repairs can be
made.
A large bridge on the Fleming pike
near the watering trough was so bad
ly damaged that it cannot be used
While many small footbridges over
Limestone Creek have been washed
away and any number Of smaller cul-
yerts have also been torn out by the
terrific rush Of the water
- Officer P. Ryan's tobacco crop in the
Hunter bottoms near the l.. & N Ia
tion was entirely coverey by the wa
ters of the creek and is completely
! ruined while in all parts of the coun-
ty reports say that tobacco and corn
has been swept away and entire fields
entirely ruined.

TRUCK TOURISTS
WILL REACH Us
ON THURSDAY
Biz Train Of Motor Trucks Leaves Gin
cinnati Today and Arrives Here
Thursday at Noon.

The Kentucky "Motorize-the-Farm'
tour which is to visit our city on next
Thursday will be the biggest travelling
educational feature ever attempted in
this section, 1t has been organized as
part of a national movement, having
the endorsement of both the United
States and State Departments of Agri-
culture to bring about general bet
terment of farming conditions and to
overcome labor and transportation diff
ficulties by showing the farmer de-
pendable and economical means OF
producing and marketing his crops.
The modern motor caravan will con-
sist of some twenty-five dinerent
makes of trucks, trailers and other
farm hauling equipment, each equip
ped with type of body specially de-
signed for some particular kind OF
farm hauling. The motorcade is val
ued at $4,000 and will be one of the
largest assemblies of motorized farm
hauling equipment ever seen south OF
Chicago or New York shows. In fact,
1t is really monstrous travelling show
carrying its own jazz band; company
of high class entertainers several
farm lecturers who will talk on pres
ent day farm conditions, modern farm
methods and the advantage of motor
ization; and complete lighting sys-
tenn to light up the caravan at the
night controls.
Accompanying the tour will be a de-
tail of each branch of the service -
Army, Navy and Marine. The Army is
sending along one Of the mammoth
searchlights mounted on motor truck
which was used in France to locate
enemy aeroplanes flying over the lines
at night.
This tour Is purely an educational
project and no individual advertising
will be carried nor will any selling or
attempt to solicit business be permit
ted at any time during the progress of
the tour, The men who are donating
the trucks, paying the cost of their op-
Grafton and giving a week of their
time to this movement appreciate the
seriousness of the farm situation to-
day and know that truck and tractor
are the farmers only salvation. They
also realize that the rich agricultural
resources of this section can only be
developed to their fullest by the mo-
torization of the farm.

neighbor on Cabin Creek. This morn

found that the pocket book and its con-
tents probably $5-was gene Hook
was suspected and the police were
notified. Hook was arrested about
noon today on Market street by Chief
Ort.

ing a cold check were placed against
him and the authorities at the State
Reform school were notified. If the
Greendale authorities want him, he
will be turned over to them and if moi

MATCHING PENNIES COST
VIRGINIA STRANGER SASS

The next time that John l.. Archer
Of Petersburg, Va, comes to this city
it is very probable that he will not
form the acquaintance of the sharps
that make Union Station their lair
for prey.
Archer was leaving the station this
morning when two men greeted MIN
affably. They induced him to take
a walk with them and when they
reached the Pension Onice building
one of the strangers suggested that
they match pennies" to see VINO
would buy cigars. Finding that their
victim was easy" the two men In
duced Archer to match for Sl.oo
each. and later the sums wagered
amounted to 500. Suddenly the two
men ran in different directions and
when Archer took an inventory or ms
excheauer he was minus S4s5. The
police have a good description of
both men.
