Thanksgiving To Be
Fittingly Celebrated

Today, Thanksgiving, is being fit
tingly celebrated in this city, the
banks, postoffice, court house and
many bushes houses being closed all
day, while in the afternoon practi-
cally everything win be closed. Spe-
cial religious services will be held at
the Christian church in the morning,
with preaching by Rev. J. w. Crates,
of the Methodist church. Many will
enjoy the day as one of rest, while
quite a number of "nimrods" will
take advantage Of the day-off to en-
joy day Of hunting. Quite few
of the Sports" will go to Lexington
to see the State Tennessee football
game, but as a rule the day will be
observed as one of rest.

Armsteads Score
Quite a Hit

Gladys Armstead and her Novelty
Concert Orchestra furnished the
music at the Tabb Theatre last even
ing and made big hit with the au-
dience. The picture for the occasion
"Heliotrope," was one of the best
screened here for a long time and
got next to many a tender heart. For
this occasion and todays program
Manager Small had the stage elab-
orately decorated with ported plants,
electrically lighted, many and beau
tiful shaded lamps and elegant fur
niture presenting wonderfully rich
appearance. The Tabb Theatre new
er looked as pretty as it did on this
occasion and we were indeed sorry
so small an audience was present to
view the lovely scene and enjoy the
delightful program-however, they
will have another opportunity today
to see the deliberately decorated
stage and another wonderful picture
program.

dences may not be searched without

given jurisdiction to enforce the ma
tional prohibition act.

Burley Warehouses
Agree Not To Open

Kentucky tobacco warehouses in
the hurley district will close until the
cooperative association is fully
formed and ready to take over the
houses.
This was decided at Lexington on
Wednesday by an overwhelming vote
in the meeting of the warehousemen
called to confer with a COMMITTEES
from the association. Out of Ill
warehouses represented, 10S agreed
not to open their doors to receive
hurley tobacco until the association
was formed and the three others
agreed not to open until December
Is. -
After considerable discussion as
to the basis on which the warehouses
would be taken over by the associa-
ton, a committee was appointed and
it recommended in its report that
no definite immediate action be taken
on this, but that it be left to the
warehousemen and a committee from
the association working in co-opera-
tion

Owensboro Leaf
Bids Strengthen

Prices for Green river tobacco the
second day Of the sales on the Ow-
ensboro market showed a tendency
to increase.
The sale of,144,315 pounds at the
last warehouse brought an average
of $3.50 per 100 pounds.
During the two days 952,715
pousds Of dark tobacco have been
sold. The growers have received
$3.50, 1857, making a general av-
erage Of 1851 per 100 pounds. The
fisst two days last year the general
average was around 81.
There are more than 1,500, 10000
pounds remaining to be sold on the
floors. Tobacco is coming in from
every section Of the district and the
buyers and warehousemen are warn
ing growers not to glut the market,
telling them it will cause a falling
off in prices. The competition on the
Owensboro market is very keen. All
Of the big companies are represent
ed, and the bidding on every basket
is very, spirited.
Good leaf continues to sell at be-
tween 500 and $50 with some Of the
tobacco of unusually good uality go
ing above $50.

East Kentucky
Game Paradise

Rabbits and quail are more plen-
tiful in the mountains Of Eastern
and Southeastern Kentucky than
they have been for many years, ac-
cording to hunters who have travers-
ed the section within the last few
days. ,~.-.-r
Laurel, Knox, Whitley and Bell
counties have an especially large
number of quail and rabbits, hunt
ers declare, and the border lands
along Bell and Whitley counties adj
joining Virginia and Tennessee are
paradise for game.
Added to the rabbit and quail are
number Of large flocks of wild tur-
keys. According to the reports, the
wild turkeys have been located with
more frequency in Whitley and
Laurel counties than the others of
that section. The area about the
Cumberland river in these two coun-
ties has proven to be the favorite
haunts of the turkeys, according to
hunters who have been in that Sec
ton. :
Squirrels are plentiful in all heavy
wooding Chestnuts and walnuts are
plentiful. AS yet only few hunt
ers have gone into this region, es-
pecially in Laurel and Bell counties,
where the residents offer no objec-
tons to the hunters, appreciating the
number of rabbits they kill. Many
of the residents recently planted or
cards and have experienced a great
deal of difficulty in protecting their
fruit and other vegetation from the
rabbits which have become so num-
erous.
Quails as yet still remain in the
open fields and have not yet migrat-
ed to the woodlands. These coun-
ties, according to expert hunters, are
the best spots for game in the state,
and hunters returning there will find
certain reward for their trouble.

THANKSGIVING AT THE
MARY CHiLES HOSPITAL

There is not an undertaking too
big or generous for the citizens Of
Montgomery county. We had a look
into the room that contained gifts
! expressive of loving and thankful
fhearts, and in that apartment were
the generous gifts alike of the
county citizenship and the city. We
counted cans that contained fruits,
vegetables, pickles in their varied
makes, meats, soups, preserves, etc.,
numbering hundred and more. Old
hams, dressed and live poultry,
pumpkins in varieties, many sacks
of flour, meal, potatoes, etc, are the
gifts. 1t is a real Thanksgiving day
at the Mary Chiles Hospital with
superintendent, nurses and attend
ants brimful and running over with
gratitude. Guests are met with
smiles significant Of joy and graft
tude, and the sweet goodbyes make
the visitor to feel that it was good
to be there and to contribte. With
a one heartfelt though silent in ex-
preston we the people of Montgom-
cry, a Kentucky county with open
gate to the eastern picturesque
mountains and to the west to the
undulating blue grass section, give
thanks and praise to Him who urged
"a loyal and true people on to these
noble deeds.

AL G. Field Minstrels
Coming To The Tabb

The American stage has been
frightened for thirty four glad years
with the presence thereon of the AL
g. Field Minstrels. This is the thir-
ty-fifth consecutive season for this
famous organization which comes to
the Tabb Theatre soon.
AL g. Field has honestly earned
the sobriquet of the "Dean of Min
Istrelsy" and the announcement of
the impending arrival of his show
in any community is the occasion
for whole-souled rejoicing on the
part Of that large share Of the Amer
can public which enjoys to the full
good song well sung, a witty joke,
real minstrel dance and all-round
clean, wholesome fun.
The present version of the AL G..
Fields Minstrels is the acme of this
form of theatrical entertainment
and has been pronounced by press
and public as the best production of
its kind ever offered to the public.
1t has been staged with an eye to
all that is best in the traditions of
minstrelsy with the addition Of the
best of up-to-date novelties and in
novations which make for consist
ent modern popularity.
The big first part of the show this
year has been built about the age
old glory that is New Orleans, the
Madri Gras, and the setting for this
phase of the show is sheer delight
for those who know anything about
the annual Louisiana fiesta, as well
as for those who love beauty in any
form Pageantry has been mingled
with song and dance and revelry in
their highest exposition, and the
Field company is at its best in ex-
employing this joyous midwinter fun
festival.
Other features of the production
is a dancing advertisement pro-
grammed "The Hunt" which gives a
free rein to the best the Field COM
pany has in the way of dancing abil-
ity. 1t should be added that the
company boasts some of the best
dancers on the stage today and
Terpsichorean Director William Do-
ran has originated and staged many
new forms of the art for the cur
rent production.
The company is again headed by
Bert Swor, a comedian without a
peer in his line. Then, too, there
are such favorites with Field audi
ences as Jack Richards, Billy
Church, Nick Huffend, Jimmie Coop
err, Leslie Berry, Johnny Healy, John
Cartmell, Rody Jordan, Ed Jones,
Carl Cameron, Boni Mack and a
host of others.

NINE MONTHS OF THE HARDING
ADMINISTRATION.
(From the New York Herald)

Ut IOIl Inc NGW IOIh IlGIdiuJ
In the quarters of a year
which the country has had of the
Harding administration its states
manship dealing with international
affairs has held cardinal rank.
Sustaining American rights and
interests in the island of zap and in
foreign oil territories, it has been
able and brilliant.
Driving the conviction home to
Mexico that recognition of its gov
eminent must be based beyond every
thing else on adequate and perma-
nent safeguarding of American life
and property in that country, and
putting the pressure of the Monroe
Doctrine principles upon embroiled
Panama and Costa Rico to preserve
peace in America, it has been direct
and virile, but temperate and just
The craftsmanship of the Harding
administration, again has been whole
some and robust in refusing to enter
into officials relations with the Red
Soyietism of Russia so long as that
tyranny and terrorism deied the most
sacred obligations of civilization and
humanity. In making treaty of
peace with Germany it has been
broad and unselfsh.
And in bringing into conferences
at Washington the chief statesmen
of the Old World for the limitation of
Armament and the settlement of the
Far Eastern question it has been,
both in the power of its frank initia-
tive and in the practical idealism of
its explicit program, American to the
core.
Yet, high as these international
events stand to the credit of Harding
craftsmanship and to the renown of
the American name, The New York
Herald ventures to say that they do
not form the prime achievement thus
far for the Harding administration.
The outstanding fact of it's nine
months of hard and effective work, in
truth, is that for the first time in the
history of the United States Govern
ment since its founding, 1872 years
ago, it now has vigorous, red blood
ed business administration.
One his to red General Dawes's
report, as Director of the Budget,
given to Congress yesterday in mes
sage from the President, to realize
what a ramshackle organization the
United States Government as a bust
ness institution was when Mr.. Hard
ing became Chief Executive and what
a ramshackle organization it always
had been managing the business af-
fairs of the nation without efficiency,
system or method, as no private bust
