Church VIII Include Offering
For Starving Children.

At Third Street NJ. e. Church this
evening beginning at o'clock will be
presented "The Worlds Christmas
Fireplace" a pageant by Madelaine

istic fashion the message intended.
The pageant will be the first number
on the program. This will be followed
by the offering for this cause.
Then will follow other Christmas
exercises of very entertaining char
acter leading up to the coming of
Santa Claus who will come down a
sure enough chimney. A large, beauti-
fully decorated, and well lighted
Christmas tree occupied the center OF

SCHOOLS HOUSES
IN The EAST END TO
Be electrified
Important Meeting Of the. Maysville
Board Of Education Held
Last Night.

The regular monthly meeting of the
City Board of Education held at the
High School building Thursday eve-
ming was very important meeting
and many matters were discussed by
the members.
Probably the most important busi-
ness transacted was the matter OF
authorizing the Property Committee
to have both the Forest Avenue and
the Sixth ward buildings wired for
electricity. This committee will re-
ceive bids for this work and hopes to
have it underway in short time.
The School Board also agreed to in
stall and maintain moving picture
outfit in the High School building
when the students of that school had
paid for the equipment
The matter of furnishing the chill
dren pure water has been much on the
minds of the Board members and last
night they had q water still which is
very highly recommended explained
to them. 1t is more than likely that
such a still will be installed in the
High School building which will en-
able the students to have distilled wa
ter which is absolutely pure at all
times. No final action was taken on
this matter, however, and it was left
in the hands of the Sanitary commit
tee with power to act.

Of Politicians Murder.

Oklahoma City. Okla. Dec. "a. The
state of Oklahoma will aid in the
prosecution Of Clara Barton Smith,
wanted in connection with the fatal
shooting of Jake L. Haman, when the
case comes to trial, Governor ]. B. A.
Robertson announced here at noon
yesterday. He will instruct the Attor-
ney Generals Department to assist in
the prosecution, he said.
The Governor said that public opin-
ion in Ardmore may be so strongly
prejudiced in favor of Clara Smith
that any attorney appointed by the
court to prosecute her might be un-
satisfactory to the state. James P.
Mathers. County Attorney-elect, who
will succeed Russell B. Brown on jan
uary I, is now attorney for Clara
Smith and will be disqualified from
taking the case, the Governor said.
In discussing the case, Governor

tiary.

GREEN RIVER GROWERS
DISBAND ORGANIZATION
Not Sufficient Leaf Pooled To Assure
Success Of Venture-PIices
Some Better.

Owensboro, KY, Dec, "a. - The or
ganization of tobacco growers of the
Green River tobacco district here,
formed recently to work for higher to-
bacco prices, has disbanded, following
a report of its executive committee of
failure to sufficiently arouse the inter-
est of farmers in a contemplated to-
bacco pooling arrangement.
Reports of the committee showed
that tobacco pledged to the pool was
100000 pounds short of the amount
required to handle sales. After sub
mission of the reports, the executive
committee resigned.
Meantime prices on the market here
have reached an average of $11 per
hundred pounds compared with $4 the
opening day month ago. In this
period only 100000 pounds of tobac.
co has been sold, bringing an average
of $7.91 per hundred pounds. About
100000 pounds had been sold at this
date last year for a $40 average.

BUSINESS MEN PLAY
SANTA TO POOR KIDS
GLADDEN|NG HEARTS
Many Poor Riddles Receive Candies
and Toys ut Court House-Boys
Band Members Receive Hand.
...- some Checks.

The Santa Claus party given at the
court house this afternoon by the busi-
ness of Maysville to the poor kiddies
OF this community was probably the
greatest success TO any such party
held in recent years.
The children we're on hand early
and they were not disappointed in the
least for old Santa Claus was soon on
the scene with plenty Of candy, nuts
and toys of all kinds for girls and boys
and no child was turned away but
hundreds of little hearts were glad
dened. The business men who had a
part in financing the party received
their full moneys worth by seeing the
little faces brighten as they we're
handed their packages.
Every detail Of the party had been
carefully worked out and there was
nothing to mar the success of the
event. The streets were filled with
kiddies we'll loaded down during the
afternoon. The concert of the Boys
Band was greatly enjoyed.
Band Members Get Annual Cheeks.
The members of the band seemed to
play with more enthusiasm than usual
because they knew that they we're to
receive their annual checks at this
meeting. The members of the band
have worked faithfully during the
year and they have gathered quite a
neat little sum into their treasury
The twenty-seven members of the
band who have played all year receiv-
ed checks for $500 each while four
other members who have been in the
first band for but short time re-
ceived checks for $12.5O each.
Approaching the kindness of Mr..
NJ. B. Wunder, who has always taken
pleasure in helping the band out on
concerts, the management presented
him with beautiful b-flat clarinet as
a Christmas gift and the members OF
the band presented Mr.. Barnard, their
leader, with a fine Christmas turkey.
Besides their checks which was the
money they had made themselves,
every member of the band received a
pocket knife and a small pail of candy
as Christmas gift from the business
men of Maysville.
1t was announced this afternoon
that at the present time the bands
uniform fund amounts to $1O19.16 and
the management hopes to have enough
money in this fund to purchase all
members Of the band a very attractive
uniform in the spring.

Building Houses in China.

All lumber for building in China is
bought in the log. says III. X. Richard
son, writing in Asia magazine. AS soon
as the logs begin to arrive the con
tractor tackles them with the saw
yers. These men are paid piece rates
which average about three cash or
One-tenth Of cent per square foot of
surface sawed. They average bet
ter wage than carpenter, getting
about 10 cents a day, as compared
with s cents q day for the carpenter.
At this rate they are cheaper than
any steam saw mill that can operate
in China. In fact, the only reason a
saw mill can operate in China at all
is because ii can produce quickly and
native sawyers The necessary doors,
frames and window sasheS are all
made by hand. Three Chinese carpen-
tiers at s cents Il day with their ma
tive tools can accomplish about the
same work done by one Canadian car.
penter with all equipment. The work
comparison. | should say that about
five Chinese carpenters at 5 cents Il
day each are necessary 10 do the work
of a Canadian carpenter who receives
Sc a day and has all his wood pre-
pared for him.
