ANNUAL MUSICAL OF
STUDENTS and BANDS
DELIGHTS A ThRONG
Washington Opera House Crowded
Last Night at Annual Musical Of
Maysyllle Bands and Music
Department Of Schools.

The Washington Opera House was
crowded to its limits last night at the
annual concert of the Music Depart
ment of the Maysville City Schools
and the Maysville Boys Bands and
everyone in attendance was more than
pleased with the delightful program.
The music Of the Junior Band was
a great surprise to the audience and
speaks volumes for the ability Of Di-
rector Barnard. In a very short time
this band has developed into some
thing Of which to be proud and many
members will soon be able to take
their places with the Senior Band
when q larger band is needed. The
duet by little Miss Snapp and little
Mr.. Blythe is the talk of the town
this morning. These mere children
demonstrated what is being done with
Youngsters in the local bands.
Our Senior Band, of which every
Maysvillian and Masonian is justly
proud, rendered a high class program
such as might have been rendered by
some of the masters and did it to per-
fection.
The vocal music by the various glee
clubs of the High School was good and
Mrs. Reese, the vocal director, is to
be congratulated upon her work this
year. Solo parts were well taken.

MARRIED WOMEN MUST use
own NAME IN BUSINESS
Corporation Clerk Rules That Women
In Corporations In Kentucky
Must Use Own Names.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 23. - Where
married woman is interested in a bug
mess separate from that of her hus-
band, she must use her own Christian
names instead Of signing the initials
Of her husband" says a warning is
sued by W. NJ. Van Hoose, Corporation
Clerk in the office Of Secretary of
State Fred Vaughn. He said that many
corporation papers had to be returned
for correction because married women
insisted on signing their husbands
initials instead of their own
Under the Kentucky laws woman
may contract, sue and be sued sep
arately from her husband. when she
operates or is interested in business
in which the husband has no inter-
est" said Mr.. Van Hoose. I'm such
cases it is not fair to the husband that
he should be held responsible for her
debts or debts of concerns with which
he has no personal connection. But
where the wife signs her husbands
initials he can be held responsible for
her debts, and for this reason she
should use her own name.
MANY attorneys throughout the
state apparently overlook this ques-
ton in preparing corporation papers.
In such cases the issuance Of charters
is delayed and extra expense incurred,
for the papers have to be returned to
the organizers for correction.

HAS BEEN FRAMED
Negotiations For Reaching Peace VIII
BE Directed BY Hon. Charles
Evans Hughes, Secretary
OF State.

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 20. - The
program for bringing about speedy
peace between the United States and
Germany virtually has been decided
upon by Warren G. Harding, presi-
dent-elect.
1t follows:
l, Passage of the Knox resolution
or a similar measure declaring peace.
2. Informal exchanges between the
United States and the allies and the
United States and Germany to adjust
financial matters and other questions
relating to peace.
3. Dispatch Of an American minis
ter to Berlin and acceptance Of Ger
man minister at Washington with re-
establishment of the consular service
of both countries.
The negotiations would be conduct
ed by Charles q. Hughes, secretary of
state.
Many press dispatches from Lon
don said today Europe virtually was
marking time waiting for the Harding
administration to go into power be-
fore going ahead with settlement of
reparations and other questions.
Any advance announcement of what
the Harding administration intends to
do for the guidance Of the allies would
be improper at this time, so it Is ex-
pected practically nothing will be
done toward winding up the wars af-
fairs abroad until after Harding en-
