gomery county may rest assured that
our interests viii be most carefully
taken care of. We congratulate the
Highway Department upon the selec-
ton Of Capt. Petry.

Mt. Sterling Nine
Wins Two More Games

The Mt. Sterling Baseball Club an
nexed two more games to its string
of victories when the boys defeated
the Louisville Brick Co., from Grain,
Ky., on the local lot Saturday and
Sunday. The score Saturday was
z to A, while on Sunday it was z to 3.
vallandingham pitched both days
for the locals and pitched gilt-edge
ball, and with better support should
have had a shut-out in Saturdays
game. Thoss was at the receiving end
in both contests and played his usual
consistent game. Saturdays game
was rather ragge daffair, but on
Sunday an entirely different article
Of ball was presented and the large
crowd of fans we're well pleased
with the exhibition. Daniels, who COW
cred second for the home team in
Sundays game, played nice ball and
secured two hits. He made a good
impression and added much "pep" to
the game and it is hoped he will be-
come fixture.
For next Sunday The Wiedemans,
one of the strongest teams in the
state, will be the attraction and as
the local lineup will be materially
strengthened, one Of the hottest con-
tests of the season is expected, and
it is hoped cord-breaking crowd
will be in attendance.

Burglars Enter
Another Home

Some time last Thursday night
burglars entered the home of G. b.
Stephens on the Grassy Lick pike,
going to his sleeping room where they
secured his gold watch and took his
trousers to the Kitchen where they
s"ro rnnsacked and a 80 bill and
some change taken. The watch was
the property of Mr.. Stephens de-
ceased father and was valued very
highly. Nothing else in the house
was disturbed and the visit by the
burglars was not discovered until Mr..
Stephens arose the following morn
ing. So far no trace of the robbers
has been discovered. In this connec-
ton we would like to call our read
ers' attention to the fact that the
government has offered reward for
the capture or every thief robbing
the U. s. Mail, whether dead or alive,
and we believe it would be wise for
our citizens to be prepared to de-
fend themselves against any invad-
ers entering their homes in a like
manner.

Figures Are
Sometimes Interesting

The compilation of figures dis
played in the Ladyes Speciality
Shoppe, showing the number of
times each member of the Chamber
of Commerce has been present at the
meetings and giving their percentage
is a very interesting chart, and if
each member will carefully study
same, we believe, they will attend
more regularly and show a greater
interest in the growth and prosper
ity of our city and county.

Tag Day Observed
By Salvation Army

The Salvation Army Home Service
Campaign was inaugurated Monday
with Tag Day and part of house
toulouse canvas and while the
amount was not as large as was ex-
pected by the canvassers, yet the
total sum of about $3.50 collected
is not at all discouraging.
One of the local organizations
made a donation of $100 to the fund
with the understanding that it be
kept quiet for the time being, will
bring the aggregate donations and
collections up to about $3.50.
A very prominent and charitable
woman, in discussing the work Of
the Army, said to the Field Manager: !:
81 know Of no organization that has
and is doing the good work the Sal
walton Army is performing. 1t is not
understood in cities like this one as
it is in large cities. The manner in
which they take care of infants and
others is marvellous. They take them
from hot and sweltering tenement
houses, where families live in one
room, give them clean clothing, bath
them and care for them in their day
nurseries and camps. Were that not
the case those children who have a
right to live and who are being
brought up to be Christians and re-
spectacle, may some day become
some of our most prominent citizens.
NY heart is with the Salvation Army
as it would he with everyone. We
should feel proud that we have an
organization of that kind. We owe
them a debt that we can never repay
for the manner in which they stood
by our soldiers during the late war,
and that holds good for the boys
who crossed the big wide stream
and who we're willing to sacrifice
their lives for democracy and hu-
manity. And God bless those who
are hidden beneath the sod in Flan-
ders' Field"
Mr.. Mohr was asked yesterday
what benefit Mt. Sterling would re-
ceive from the Army. He told then
of the Advisory Board to be organ
Eized here and that it was agreed with
the American Legion that part OF
the money raised here would go tc
the Legion. The Field Manager
stated that the Army would care fol-
maternity cases here such as it had
done according to the records in the
office Of the Army.
Discussing the campaign last night
the committee said: "The quota OF
$2,400 for the city and county is
small when it is considered the gooG
work the Army has done and is do.
ing"
If each person in the county woulc
give but 25 cents it would reach thai
sum and more, too. The committee is
anxious that the quota be reached
as it would speak highly for thu
reason that every citizen in this
county is for the cause.

1900 Head Of Cattle
For June Court

This was one of the meanest, drag
giest court days at the stock yards In
years. The cattle, though in good
condition, we're slow at any price.
The very best bunch brought D l-2c
and from medium to fair brought
from A to 41-2c to &c. The owners
we're anxious for an offer and when
one came the cattle sold. It was this
adopted method that emptied the
pens so thoroughly that only few
we're left over for today's sales. One
of the leading dealers gave express
sion to these words: 'T am prepared
to take my medicine" With a down.
ward market we did not observe a
man blue, they all seemed to realize
that this is an adjusting period.
A car of Jersey yearlings were on
the market and they, like other stock
we're slow and draggy, the best bring
ing around $28 per head.
There was a car of draft horses
here from Ohio that brought from
$40 to $50 per head. There was also
car of young mules on the market
that sold from $40 to $50.
The city, near the stockyards, was
well filled with horses Of every des-
cription that were for sale, or trade,
and the boys were active in their en-
deavor to make a showing of some
kind of an exchange.
The crowd was not large, for the
farmers were actively engaged in fin
ishing their tobacco setting and do
ing other farm work. With tOday's
cleanup it is thought the adjusting
crisis has passed and that the stock
people will begin to show a profit
on all their dealings from now on.
We shall expect better and more sat-
isfactory trade in July.
The farmers are enthusiastic as
to the crop outlook. Tobacco that
as been planted little while has a
favorable condition at present. Corn
is late. but of good color and grow
ing. Wheat and rye look well and
the harvest period is on, showing
crop free from damage. To us all
farm products appear favorable and
the farmers are working hand in
hand for their own interests, and the
people generally know as the farmer
/. prospers likewise jail business be-
comes spirited.
