MEMBERSHIP drive
FOR farm BUREAU
BEGUN THIS week
Farmers Of Mason County VIII Be
Urged To Become Affiliated
With only Farmers Organ.
ixatiOn in the County.

Following up a campaign conducted
For the past week through the mails,
officers and interested members Of the
Mason County Farm Bureau today ini-
tiated countrywide campaign for
new members to the only farmers Or
ganization in the county. This cam
paign will be carried to the four cor
ners Of Mason county and every wide
awake and progressive farmer will be
given an opportunity to ally himself
with the other live-wires of the county
in the Farm Bureau.
Mr.. Godfrey Morgan, head Of the
Kentucky Farm Bureaus, arrived in
Maysville Sunday evening and will
spend three days here with the local
bureau officials in an effort to lend
some weight to the argument which
will be offered. Mr. Morgan, who for
some time was at the head of the
County Demonstration work in Ken
lucky, is one of the best posted men in
the entire South on farm problems. He
will speak this evening at Sardis, on
Tuesday evening at Mayslick and on
Wednesday evening at Minerva. 1t is
hoped that all the farmers in these
three sections will avail themselves
Of the opportunity to hear him.
The campaign was started today by
the officers mingling with the farmers
who were in the city and throughout
the week they will drive into every
precinct in the county presenting the
arguments for the bureau.
1t is the purpose of the officers to
enlist seventy-five per cent of the
farmers of Mason county in the or
ganization and If this can be done the
farmers will have by far the strongest
organization in the whole of the
county.

DEFEAT OF CuT.OUT
SYSTEM IS seen
BY BODY'S HEAD
Failure Of Growers to Sign Pledges Is
Taken As Sign That There is
No Interest in the Pro.
posed Plan.

Because Of the apathy shown by the
growers of the hurley belt and the
general failure OF the tobacco men to
return and indication as to whether
they desired to reduce acreage this
year, 1t is entirely possible that at the
annual meeting Of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Association at Lexington to-
day 1t will be decided to drop the prop
osition entirely. Hundreds Of pledges
were sent out at the instance of the
Burley Growers Association to hurley
tobacco growers in Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Indiana, West Virginia and Ohio,
but the reply has been so small as to
be negligible and, SO ]. W.. Newman,
president of the Growers Association,
says no spirit of cooperation is appar-
ent at all.
Consequently the activities of the
Burley Tobacco Growers Association,
following the Monday meeting. will
most likely be confined to securing
members and strengthening the or
ganization generally.
The meeting Monday is fof the cleo
tion of board of directors and Off
ccrs for the ensuing year. In addition
to the election the matter Of the pro-
posed reduction in acreage will be
taken up and the probable result Of
the discussion OH the matter will be
as outlined above.
Mr.. Newman said Saturday night
that he thought it probable that every
thing would be held in abeyance un-
til Judge Robert w. Bingham, of Lou
isville, and Bernard Baruch, of New
York, who have been in conference on
the matter of arranging some method
of handling the tobacco crop, should
be ready and would announce their
plan.
Judge Bingham has just recently re-
turned from a recreation trip to Flor
ida and it is felt that he will at once
take up the tobacco question again
with Mr.. Baruch

CITIES ARE JUDGED BY THEIR
SPIRIT

Cities are judged not alone by their
resources, the number of factories,
houses, bank deposits, etc, that repre-
sent the material things which go to
make up their physical assets, but are
judged more largely by their spirit.
When a stranger enters our city, the
thing that strikes him most favorably
OF ~unfavorably is the attitude of the
citizens toward their home town. If
the stranger meets two or three knock
ers, instead of Give" bosters, he re-
ceives an unfavorable impression of
the place. 1t is the duty of every
member of the Chamber of Commerce
to make it disagreeable und unhealthy
for a "knocker" for we have no room
in the organization for anyone but a
booster. A man who has a suggestion
to make for the good of the city, and
is willing to work for the improvement,
has a right to criticize, provided his
criticism is constructive. But a citi-
zen, unless he is willing to lend his
time and energy as we'll as his money
correcting the shortcomings
that exist, or that he belives exist.
Let us, therefore, insist on a construc-
tive criticism among ourselves and
everlasting tell about the good things
Glasgow, not only to each other, but
to the world at large.

THE HARDING HOBBY PARTY

Washington newspapermen and their
in a lifetime" at the "hobby party"
dent and Mrs. Harding. Justice Day
of the Supreme Court. Sir Auckland
Geddes, the British Ambassador, Her.
bert Hoover. Major General Lejeunne
Of the United States Marine Corps, and
Nine. Galli-Curci, the worlds leading
soprano, were on the program, and
any one of them counts as a "star."
1t was on the bird day after Pres
ident Harding had taken office, and
when he arose and related a story of
a tramp printer whom he had be-
friended and helped to a better place
in life, he displayed a depth Of feeling
that revealed the tended heart his
intimates have long known he posses
sed. And then, following up the story,
he said: eff there is somewhere a hui
man touch that awakens disappoint-
ment into hope, that is the finest hob
by in the world. If in my new re-
sponsibility | can. in understanding
and sympathy and in stern devotion to
country, find the touch that trans
forms the disappointments of yester-
day into the fruition of tomorrow, then
I shall have practiced the dearest hob
by. to me, in the world"
AS the writer of these lines sat with
a thousand others, %spellbound by the
feeling rendition of those plain, simple
words, we all had the same thought
and the same regret that it was not
possible for all the people Of this great
nation to have that comprehensive I'M
derstanding which the voice and man
ner of the man conveyed. When the
President had concluded his brief
speech there was not a red-blooded
American in the great gathering who
but hoped for bigger things from the
Nations new leader than they had
ever before expected.

SWEET CONCORD EVERYWHERE

A resumption of the Saturday after

ing the building on the south will be
thrown open at such times, and the
people will be invited in. Notice has
already been given that another pref
ty feature of former years will be re-
Sumed. On Easter Monday the small
children of Washington will roll their
Easter eggs on the many little knobs
that are found there. It is said to be
Il custom that Is peculiar to the Ma
tional Capital, but in the past few

Of the White House and have had to
content themselves with the hills in
he public parks. Mrs. Harding is CO.
operating in an effort to create an at
moSphere of welcome and hospitality

in Washington are on her program, to

Eggs,11d1\
Bunnie&Em

An Easter egg by any other name
would taste just as delicious, but the
world over the people are creatures
of habit, so at Easter and around
Easter only we have the chocolate and
jelly eggs.
The association of Easter and eggs
goes back to heather times, says one
authority.
1T seems as if the egg was thus dec
GRATED for an Easter trophy, after the
days of modification and abstinence
were over and festivity had taken their
place, and as an emblem of the resur-
rection Of life, as certified to US by the
resurrection from the regions of death
and the grave. Not only do we find
this record Of the use of eggs among
h practices of the Egyptians, the an
cient Israelites and the early Chris
tians, but De Gobelin informs us that
the custom of using eggs at Easter
may be traced up not only to the the
ology of the people of Egypt, but to
the theology and philosophy of the Per
slams, the GaulS, the Greeks and th@
Romans, all Of whom regarded the egg
as an emblem of the universe and the
work of the Supreme Divinity"
The Christians have used eggs on
Easter day as containing the elements
OF future life, symbolic of the resur.
rection. Painted or ornamented eggs
have become in many lands an Easter
institution.
AS for the bunny, the chicken and
the kewpie, they all play their part in
modern Easter gifts. The bunny or
hare owes its popularity to the be-
lief of the German children that it ia
the hare who lays the eggs on Easter
day.
Easter always brings a profusion Of
flowers, with the lily the most popular
of all. "In the beauty of the lilies,
Christ was born" has an additional
meaning when one sees lilies on every
side. The fact that a Philadelphia
introduced the Bermuda lily to this
country adds more interest to this
ever-interesting subject. In 1880, so
the story runs, a young mar from the
Bermudas was visiting in that city,
and upon seeing a lily, exclaimed: "Oh,
there is our lily" However, upon
close examination he found hat it
was not a Bermuda lily. This Incl
dent led to a Philadelphia florist visit
ing Bermuda in 1881 and bringing the

sic and poetry-which says: "Marzo
e Pazzo," literally March is crazy"
1t is a fact. 1t is the month when
we all love to look out on the morning
weather and remark joyfully this
looks like spring" And indeed, March
days aften look like spring and some
times ever like summer.
But March is crazy. The weather.
man tells US it is never safe to lay
aside our expectations of billiards
even in 40 degrees of latitude-that is,
the latitude of Philadelphia-until we'll
after the last day is past. Crazy
March, indeed. occasionally leads gem
tie April aStry. One of the worst
billiards ever experienced in the Great
region occurred about the tenth
of April some twenty years ago.
We have had an unusually mild win
ter. Comparatively speaking, it might
be said that there has been no winter
at all south of the Dakotas and Mon
tana. Everything points to an early

breaking out of buds land everything"
But crazy March may yet spoil it all.
The peach crop may yet be destroyed,
as usual.
Still, lets not be pessimistic. Old
Boreas may not be too severe. And
even if he is, spring will come eventu-
ally, if not now, and We'll be happy
and glad again with our sunshine and
flowers and all growing things
Including flies!
