MAYSvILlE band WOULD
Be Big DRAWING CARD
Prominent LexIngtOnlans Interested
In Having Our Band Play for
Bluegrass Fair This Year.

The Lexington Leader last night
said:
Messrs. ]. Barbour Russell and A.
L. Glascock, of Maysville, were in
Lexington today to see Secretary Ken
Walker relative to engaging the Mays
vile Boys Band for the bluegrass
Fair this year. Those members of the
Lexington Board Of Commerce who
went on the get-together tour last
spring remember with pleasure the
concert which this boys band gave
one evening during their stay in
Maysville. 1t is now doubtless the
honest opinion of every one of these
men that the Maysville Boys Band
would be a drawing card at the Blue
grass Fair which no other feature
could excell. The quality Of the music
played by these boys, their discipline,
and the interest which follows them
wherever they go are truly remark
able Messrs. Russell and Glascock
are sort of fathers" to this band,
They have been devoted to It from the
beginning and consider it Maysville's
greatest advertisement and recrea-
tional asset. The proposed Boy Scout
band of Lexington will be patterned
after the Maysville organization and
will be trained by the same instructor,

G lOWERS TO CON.
S|DER 1921 CUT OUT
MONDAY AFTERNO. N
Precinct Chalrmen at Meeting Held
Today Call Mass Meeting of tie
Mason County Growers for
Next Monday Afternoon.

Precinct chairmen appointed to
handle the tobacco situation In Mason
county held meeting at the Farm
Bureau building this afternoon to con-
slider the advisability Of pushing the
cut-out plan among the growers of
this county.
The question was gone into very
thoroughly by the committeeman and
1t was finally decided to put the ques-
ton squarely before the growers.
The best way to get an expression
from the growers in all parts of the
county was thought TO be to call
mass meeting at which an expression
could be gotten. In accordance with
this notion, the precinct chairmen
called a mass meeting at the Mason
county court house for o'clock next
Monday afternoon. As Monday will
be County Court day it is thought that
there will be many in attendance at
the meeting.
If the expression Of this mass
meeting is in favor of 1921 cut-out
pledges viii be circulated among he
growers and if not the matter will
be dropped.

q CASES LIQUOR
TAKEN BY Chief
ORT LAST NIGHT
Chief Trails Auto Truck to Front
Street and Takes Possession When
Part Had Been UnlOaded-
Federal Court Case.

Twenty-seven cases Of liquor were
taken by Chief of Police Harry A. Ort
at about 1870 this morning when he
stopped the unloading Of an auto truck
Of liquor at the side entrance to W.
H. Farwick's place in Front street.
Chief Ort first saw the auto truck
when 1t was moving north on Lime
stone street being trailed by small
auto roadster. He Immediately sus-
pected that the truck being out that
time of the morning was carrying
liquor and he "shadowed' it, think
ing that 1t was probably transporting
liquor into Ohio and was going to the
ferry landing. The machines turned
west on Front street and the officer
followed in the shadow of the G. & o.
railroad trestle to near the corner of
Front and Market. The machine stop
ped in front of Farwick's door and the
occupants began unloading the liquor.
Chief Ort remained in hiding until
about fifteen cases of the liquor was
unloaded and then stepped out placins
the men under arrest. The small
roadster was parked at Front and
Market street and the officer took
charge of both automobiles and the
liquor.
The strangers gave their names as
Lawrence and Williams, but they later
proved to be Harry Pelzer. of New
port and ]. C. Smith, of Cincinnati.
Both men were lodged in Jail and
Federal Prohibition Agent Fitzgerald
and Deputy U. S, Marshal Phillips ar
rived here this afternoon to take
charge of the men who will be re-
moved to Covington to be taken be-
fore the U. S. Commissioner for exam
ination.
The confiscated liquor was removed
to Police headquarters where it was
stored in the old city lookup" Nine
teen cases are of the NJ. M. Bowling
brand manufactured at a Lawrence
buro distillery and nine cases are the
famous Old Taylor. All of the liquor
is put up in quart bottles and is Ia
bled "for medicinal use."
Chief Ort is certain he did not get
all who were in the party and is OF
the opinion that at least two escaped,
one of whom he thinks was woman.
The officers are investigating this
matter as well as the ownership OF
the liquor. 1t is believed that the
liquor had been purchased by a num-
ber of Maysvillians and was not own
ed by one man.

PUBLIC GYMNASIUM
IS SUGGESTED BY
SUPT. CAPLlNGER
Head Of City Schools SUCCESSES to the
Board Of Education That Building
be Erected Us Gymnasium Which
Might BE Used BY the Public.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
City Board of Education was held last
night at the Office Of the Superintend-
ent at the High School building and
little aside from routine business was
done.
Superintendent Caplinger was
granted leave of absence to attend
the meeting of Superintendent di-
vision of the National Educational AS
sociation which will be held in At
lantic City during the latter part OF
February.
The High School has been under
quite handicap for several years
because of the number of students and
because of the crowded condition OF
the building which is used for the
Central Graded school as well as the
High School There is no study room
and the students of the High School
are compelled to study in recitation
rooms. Mr.. Caplinger last night sug-
gested that a study room should be
provided sometime in the future and
that the auditorium used be fitted
with permanent seats and it used as
study room as we'll as auditorium. He
suggested that this room should moi
be used as gymnasium.
Mr. Caplinger's suggestion in bring.
ing this about was the building at the
proper time of an additional building
in the rear of the High School and
the teacherage which would be used
as a gymnasium and swimming pools
should be built in the basement. He
also suggested that this gymnasium
and swimming pool be used by the
general public as we'll as the schoo
with certain specified days for wo-
men and girls and other days for mer
and boys. Mr.. Caplinger explained
that his suggestion was something fol
the future and asked the members Of
the board to study the question.

Recruiting Lists

London. Aug. 1S.-Publication here
of news that the Spanish consulate
was enrolling recruits to fight against

keep order outside the consulate.
The first applicants arrived at Z

the consulate was crowded for a
hundred yards, hindering traffic Az
ter ten applicants had been interview
ed the doors of the consulate were
closed and the police dispersed the
crowd. An office probably will be
opened elsewhere to handle the appI-
cants.
Meanwhile, five hundred men, all of
whom saw service with the allies,
many of them being veterans CT three
or four years fighting are on the way
to Southampton from which port they
will proceed to Spain on Spanish
transport.
1t was feared the crowd of appli-
cants at the consulate this morning
weuld become unruly when word wac
circulated that the 700 pesat bouns Of
fered for five years enlistment would
rot be paid until the legionairres were
finally accepted by the headquarters
Of the Spanish foreign legion in
Ceuta, Morocco, but no outward Incl
dents occurred Many of the appli-
cents said they had no funds with
which to reach Southampton and some
