LIFE INSURANCE.

Mr.. H. C. Elder, the well-known
Life Insurance agent, was a visitor
to st. Joseph on Friday. Mr.. Elder
has been writing insurance in Tensas
parish, for the Equitable Life As
surance Society of New York, since
1900-21 years, and has thereby
proven incalculable benefit and
blessing to many families, who have
been bereft of their bred-winner.
The Gazette holds no brief for
any life insurance company, nor is
this a paid advertisement for Mr..
Elder, or any one else, but we do
advise all young men, with or without
responsibility, to carry life insurance,
and especially do we urge every man
who has a family to throw over his
loved ones the mantel Of protection
that life insurance carries. When
proper effort is made the premiums
can be met without great incon-
venience, and should death happen
the policy will prove the benefit and
wisdom of the investment. But life
insurance is not valuable and bene-
icial only to those made beneficiaries
death. It is just as valuable to the
wing. We know of no better way
,r young man to save money than
~ taking a 20-year endowment poll
~. The thirty or thirty-five dollars
year it will cost him per thousand,
as stated above; could be paid with
out much effort and Inconvenience
if anticipated far enough ahead, and
after it is paid is soon forgotten,
but after twenty of these annual
payments are made, despite the self
denial practiced to attain the de-
sired end, the worry and work and
doing without is all forgotten when
check is received from the company
for every dollar paid in, and little
more besides. Thus showing that life
insurance is a good savings bank, and
better than the ordinary savings
bank because the policy holder knows
that he must make his annual de-
post if he would keep the good
work going. And should it SO happen
that he is not permitted by his Maker
to live out the 20 year limit speci-
fled in his policy, it is the company
that loses the game and pays the
bill, for upon death Of the insured.
with premiums paid to date, the
policy, is worth face value, regard
less of how little has been paid, and
the estate or benefactor of the in
sured will, in very few days, after
proof Of death has been filed with
the company, receive check in full
sum of policy.
AS already said the Gazette is not
advertising any insurance company
or any insurance agent, but with the
welfare of our people at heart, es-
pecially the youth Of our land, whose
lives are yet before them, we urge
every young man to carry some life
insurance in some good, reputable
company.

BlO0DHOUNDs SAILED
TO TRACE BARN Thief
Barn and Corn Crib Of Mr.. George
Morgan In South Ripley Neighbor.
hood Robbed Last Night.

Mr.. George Morgan, well known
farmer Of the South Ripley neighbor-
hood, discovered this morning upon
going to his barn, that the building
had been broken open during the
night and close examination dis
closed that quite an amount of his
best tobacco had been stolen.
He soon discovered that his corn
crib nearby, had also been forced
open and that a quantity of his corn
was missing. The officials were at
once notified and Mr.. Morgan made
every possible effort to find a clew.
He was very anxious to run down the
theief or thieves and instructed the
officers to procure bloodhounds. The
Marshal Of Manchester was commune
Gated with and shortly afternoon he
arrived here with the Manchester
bloodhounds and left for the scene.
Officers cannot account for the theft
but 1t is said they have several sus-
poets who will be carefully investigat-
ed. Mr.. Morgan says he will stand any
reasonable amount Of expense to To-
cate and prosecute the thief.

near TWO MILLION
POUNDS WILL Be ON
THE OPENING SALES
Record Breaking Crowd Of Farmers Is
Expected In Maysville Tuesday To
Attend Opening Tobacco Sales
Price to Exceed Lexington.

There is quite rush Of tobacco to
the local market today. It began Sun
day evening and all during the night
there was much of the weed delivered
while during today the streets have
been we'll filled with wagons and au-
tomobiles loaded down with the weed.
Indications today are that there will
be a large sale for the opening day.
Up until Saturday there was very lit
tie tobacco on the floors of the ware
houses but since that time much has
been delivered and rough estimate
made by the various warehousemen
on the amount of the tobacco on their
floors at noon today would indicate
that there would be near two million
pounds on the first sale.
Warehousemen asked to give a
rough estimate of the amount on their
floors at noon today gave the follow
ing figures:
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1921-01-03

Total, pounds .......... 1,465,000
Local warehousemen are expecting
to make much higher opening aver
age than the Lexington market will
make. 1t is understood that the to-
bacco in the Maysville district this
season is Of much better quality than
that in the Bluegrass district.
Reports from the Lexington market
today are not very encouraging One
report was that the first house sold on
that market at a price range of 46
cents for high and one cent for low,
with very poor average for the
whole house, while other houses did
little or no better which will make the
days sales very low on an average.
The tobacco on the local floors is
not of good quality but it is under
stood that those who have seen the
tobacco on the local market and on
the Lexington market are willing to
make wagers that the local market
will show much better average on
the opening sale and on the entire
season.
While there is yet room for much
more tobacco on the local floors, all
of the local houses have good floor
and the sales will move along WELL
The warehousemen have everything in
readiness and 1t is thought that there
will be nothing to hold up the pro-
gress.
The opening sales have not as yet
been determined and will not be de-
termined until Tuesday morning about
a half-hour before time for Supervisor
Mitchell to formally open the season.
There will then be drawing held and
the winners Of the drawing will be
given the first sales. Sales will then
proceed in their regular order from
this first SALE The buyers are on hand
and the auctioneers are arriving and
will be eady for the opening gong.

SIXTY BYSTANDERS
ARE CALLED FOR Ex.
ANIMATION FOR JURY
Prosecutor Grannls Again Refuses
Proposition For Compromise In
Eddins Murder Case-Only Six
OF Twenty -four Jurors Held.

Sixty by-standers were ordered
summoned for tomorrow morning at 9
o'clock by Circuit Judge C. D. Newell
just before he adjourned court at noon
today when the entire panel of Jurors
for the present term of the Mason Cir
cult Court had been exhausted in the
Eddins murder case and only six of
the twenty-four remained in the box
and these six were yet liable to be
struck for peremptory challenge.
Another effort was made this morn
ing when the case opened against
Eddins, indicted for willful murder in
connection with the killing of Ben
Schumacher, to compromise the case
but District Prosecutor B. S. Grannis
remained firm as he has always re-
manned during the case and insisted
upon a trial. 1t is understood that
Eddins lawyers offered to enter a
plea Of guilty and take life sentence
in the state penitentiary if the District
Prosecutor would agree to recommend
this sentence saving the prisoner his
life but the Prosecutor insisted on
leaving the case in the hands of
twelve jurors.
Work at selecting the jury was be-
gun shortly after the failure of the
compromise and all twenty-four men
in the regular panel were questioned
by both sides. The majority of the
jurors were familiar with the case and
had previously expressed an opinion
which permitted the lawyers to strike
them from the panel for cause. Only
six men were not struck for cause and
they are Messrs. c. E. Peterson,
Charles Kreitz, Frank Bean, Fl. o.
Gray, John |. Claybrook and Charles
Conrad. When court adjourned at
noon Judge Newell placed these six
men in the hands of the sheriffs with
instructions to keep them together.
Upon receipt of their order to sum-
mon sixty by-standers, the sheriffs
this afternoon went to the country in
an effort to find sixty men in Mason
county who viii qualify as jurors in
this case. If this list of sixty men is
exhausted tomorrow without obtain
ing jury Judge Newell is expected
to order the sheriffs to summon sixty
additional men from one of the adj
joining counties in this district and it
is more than likely that they will be
sent to Bracken county, however, the
court officials hope to be able to OBJ
tain jury of Mason county men.

C. q 0. Railroad Officials Promise
Much Improvement-Will Offer
Plan to Guard East End Cross.
ings at Night to Council

Superintendent w. s. Taylor, Of the
G. & o. railraod, with Chief Division
Engineer Walters and Mr.. LeWright
Browning, general counsel, met with
the special committee of City Council
men recently named at the request Of
the City Council, at the court house
this morning to discuss railroad mat
tiers generally nthe city and the mat
ter Of guarding East End crossings
more particularly.
It will be remembered that there
has recently been several rather seri-
GUS accidents at East End crossings
and City Council at recent meeting
thought that these crossings should be
properly. guarded after night. They
asked that a special committee be
named to take this matter up with the
railroad company and Mayor Russell
name Councilmen Davis, Royse, Hun
sicker and Daulton, the four East End
members Of council.
Today's meeting was well worth
while for the attention of the railroad
men was called to the general condi-
ton of the crossings In the East End
and to the condition Of the railroad
company's switch yard at Poplar
street and the railroad. Superintend-
ent Taylor promised that he would
have his employees Immediately board
the East End crossings and put them
in good condition and that he would
have the Poplar street switch yard
properly cleaned.
In regard to the matter Of properly
guaring the crossings at night Superin-
,tendent Taylor promised the council
men that he would furnish them with
plans for an electric signal light for
the. crossings but there is some oppo-
sition to such system because Of the
likelihood Of Its getting out Of order
frequently. This matter will be taken
up lxter however with council as a
whole.

The new CABINET
Colonel A. 4. lIert Is Scheduled For
Department Of War Portfolio
In Harding Cabinet.

Marion, o., Jan. MIDWAY between
election and inauguration and Senator
Warren G. Harding's Cabinet slate
partly filled with names, but the eras-
er still is ready for use.
Those close to the President-elect
continue to emphasize their belief that
the name Of Charles Evan Hughes Is
written down permanently for Secre-
tary Of State. II there is anything to
prevent Mr.. Harding from announcing
his selections for Secretary of State
and Secretary of the Treasury the
signs are that he still Is not absolutely
committed to appoint Charles G..
Dawes, Chicago, to the latter post.
Aside from efforts of friends of
John NJ. Reynolds, Charles d. Hilles
and tchn w. Weeks, Mr.. Dawes an
pears to be opposed politically only
by Mayor w. II. Thompson, Chicago,
who has been more outspoken in his
opposition than in suggesting alter
natives for the Treasury Department.
Those in Mr. Harding's confidence
will go no further than to say that Mr..
Dawes chances are good" Herbert
Hoover, for Secretary Of the Interior,
in their opinion, ranks with Mr..
Hughes as almost certainty.
A composite view of the opinions of
visitors to Marion as to the Cabinet
slate at present might be set forth as
follows:
Secretary of Subsidiaries Evans
Hughes, New York.
Secretary of the Terasury-Charles
G. Dawes, Illinois.
Attorney General H. NJ. Daugh-
erty, Ohio.
Secretary Of War--A. r. Hert, Ken

WINES Case MAY Be
HELD Up A few DAYS
Harlan Grand Jury Expected to Take
Up Several Other Cases Before
Murder OF Miss Parsons.

The Harlan county grand jury
which was empaneled Monday when
Harlan circuit court convened, prob
ably will not take up the investigation
of charges against DR.. II. C.. WINES
and Jerry Reed, who we're held to the
grand jury by the Harlan county court
for alleged connection with the death
Of Miss Lura Parsons, until the latter
part Of next week according to A.
Floyd Byrd, Lexington attorney who
has been employed by the Pine Noun
tain Settlement School authorities to
assist the Commonwealth Attorney
in prosecuting defendants in the case.
This probable delay will result from
the custom Of the grand jury to in
vestigate charges against defendants
who are held in Jail without bond, 1t
was said. DR.. WINES is out on bond
and Jerry Reed is serving a ten-year
sentence in the State Reformatory for
manslaughter, while it is understood
that a number of persons against
whom charges in other cases are
pending are held in the Harlan Jail
without bond.
James Robinson. a second negro,
who was arrested by Harlan county
officials upon being released from the
state reformatory after he had COM
pleted sentence for grand larceny,
and who was held in the Harlan Jail
for some time has been released, but
has secured work at Harlan and an
nounced that he will appear as a wit
ness for the Commonwealth in the in
vestigation of DR.. WINES movements
on the day that the murder was COM
mitted, according to Commonwealth
counsel.
