KENTUCKY BANKERS EN-.
D0RSE TRADE Corporation
Organization Of Foreign Trade Flnanc.
Ing Corporation Is Endorsed
BY Practically All State
Bankers.

Six groups, l, 2, 8, Z, 8 and II, OF
the Kentucky Bankers Association, at
meetings held this month and last,
have gone on record, by resolution, as
favoring the formation Of the Foreign
Trade Financing Corporation and
pledging support and cooperation to
those charged with the duty Of organ
izlng 1t.
The meetings Of groups / and were
held at Paducah; those OF 6 and 9 at
Maysville; that Of group Z at Lexlng-
ton, and that of group II at Corbin
Ky. The resolutions adopted at sew
eral of the meetings cited that Ken
tucky's prosperity Is vitality affected
by the present unfavorable condition
Of foreign trade, because very large
part Of Kentucky's agricultural, min
eral and industrial products are either
exported or to large extent used in
business connected with export. The
resolutions set forth the necessity of
forced action to relieve the stagna-
tion resulting from the recession Of
export trade, and also the necessity of
placing such trade on permanently
profitable basis through long-term
credits, properly safe-guarded. The
belief was expressed that the forma-
tion Of large foreign trade financing
corporation will be a step toward the
desired end.
Among those who addressed the
group meeting was Mr.. Earl S. Gwin,
Vice President Of the National Bank Of
Kentucky, in Louisville, and Chairman
of the Louisville committee cooperat-
ing with the Committee on Organiza-
tion of the Foregn Trade Financing
Corporation.

cises of the Maysville Colored High

In the graduating class and each men,
ber Of the class took part in the splen-
didly arranged program.
In presenting the class, Prof. W. H.

classes he had graduated during his
long connection with the local school.
Six of the seven members of the class
were working to make their own liv-
ing and pay their expenses through
school while the seventh was keeping
house for her mother, who worked.
This is a record Of which the entire
city can afford to feel proud. The Col

ed course In the arts and sciences, Is
also endeavoring to inculcate industry
into each Of its students and has thus
far succeeded nobly in this effort.
The character Of the orations deliv-

the ordinary and reflected great credit
upon the local system Of education and
the cultured faculty.
Diplomas were presented to the
graduates by President J. H. Samuel
Of the City Board of Education, who
delivered an address of encouragement
and who had something to say to each
graduate very appropriate.
The music was a great feature of the
program and Jubilee number by
double quartet compared favorably
with any Jubilee singing that has ever
been heard in Maysville. Anderson's
Jazz Hounds furnished the orchestra
music and one Of the members of this
musical organization, which is max
ing for itself quite reputation, was
member Of the graduating class.

GOOD PARK LAKE WEATHER.

This hot spell has been fine for Park
Lake and quite number of the cot
tagers of that popular resort have
been spending some time there or
planning to do so. One of the rules
adopted some years ago prohibited the
use of the bathing beach there until
July l. on account Of the shallow wa
ter there being the fayorite spawning
ground for bass, but on account of the
hot weather the stockholders signed a
petition to the board Of directors to
set aside this rule, and also to set
aside the rule adopted last spring
against fishing for bass until after
July and the board granted their re-
quests, so both bathing and fishing are
now in order.-Flemingsburg Times

MASON GROWERS
HEAR MARKETING
SYSTEM EXPLAINED
Author Of Cooperative Tobacco Mar.
keting Plan Addresses Good Sized
Crowd Of Tobacco Growers Ex.
planning Fully the System.

There were between five and six
hundred growers of tobacco as well as
many others interested in the crop at
the baseball park this afternoon to
hear Mr.. Aaron Sapiro, California
marketing expert, explain the system
he has worked out for cooperative
marketing for Kentucky tobacco.
Mr.. Sapiro was late in arriving in
Maysville and while the large crowd
was awaiting his arrival, Hon James
N. Kehoe made most interesting ad-
dress. Mr.. Kehoe said that tobacco
was the one crop that affected the
most people in this section of Ken
lucky. He said the system devised by
Mr.. Sapiro, Judge Bingham and others
was only the application of tried
system of marketing to tobacco. The
time for some successful manner Of
handling the tobacco situation has ar
rived, Mr.. Kehoe said. The equity
system failed, the selling of tobacco In
the barns failed and the looseleaf sys-
tenn was not meeting the situation so
that 1t was time for another system
that would work to be adopted, he
declared.
Copies Of the pledge were passed
among the growers in the large audi
ence by members of the Mason county
tobacco committee that they might
hold them while Mr.. Sapiro explained
the system.
Mr.. Sapiro was introduced by Mr.
Kehoe as the greatest expert on crop
marketing in the whole Of the world.
The expert began by reviewing the CO.
operative marketing experiences of
the farmers of California. He re-
counted the mistakes of the various
marketing associations in that state
and then pointed out the features in
the California plans which had proven
successful and which had been appro-
priated for use in the suggested to-
bacco marketing plan.
Growers who heard Mr.. Sapiro's
most interesting talk were quite ia
vorably impressed with~the proposed
syystem.

HARRISON COUNTY,
GROWERS ARE Eager
TO ADOPT the plan
Judge Bingham and Mr.. Saplro Met
By Large Delegation Of Gro.
ers at Cynthiana
Wednesday.

Cynthiana, KY, Lune 16.-Frequent
cheers interrupted the address Of Mr..
Aaron Sapiro here Wednesday after
noon, as he told 600 tobacco growers
what the proposed cooperative associ-
alton would do for them In selling
their tobacco. Mr. Sapiro met favor
able reception when he took the floor
to explain the plan, but as he warmed
to his subject, the growers broke into
shouts Of approval.
That's right" "Of course we can
do it, Well give you rs per cent"
Cries like these were hurled from all
parts of the room, as the growers be-
gan to realize the full meaning of the
plan.
Several times Mr.. Sapiro made a
telling point, he was forced to wait for
several moments till his voice could
be heard above the applause.
Mr.. Sapiro was introduced by Judge
R. W. Bingham, chairman of the Or
ganization Committee. J. R. Jones, a
local minister and tobacco grower,
presided.
No preparations had been made to
obtain signatures to the contract of
The association, as this was the first
meeting of any kind held in Harrison
county in connection with the propos.
ed cooperative system. Two large
growers Of the county, however, were
so eager to sign the contract at once
that members of the party with Mr..
Sapiro were forced to ransack their
pockets to satisfy the demands of the
growers.
