MANY SIN PLEDGE
FOR INDEPENDENT
CHAUTAUQUA HERE
Prospects for an Independent Chau-
qua In Maysyllle This Spring
Are Encouraging-Many
Pledge for 10 Tickets.

Indications today are that 1t will be
only a couple of days until 800 two
dollar season tickets for an Independ-
ent Chautauqua will be pledged and a
committee will be chosen to select the
talent and make all arrangements
with the Cooperative Chautauquas
for the local entertainment.
Already some twenty local business
men have pledged to sell ten tickets
each. This is the only sort of guar
antee that is required by the agency
booking the talent. No cash guaran-
tee is required and no one person is
asked to pledge for the sale Of more
than ten season tickets. Those busi-
ness men who pledge for the sale of
ten tickets will constitute the chau-
tauqua committee and these men will
select managing committee to select
the talent and arrange the program
for the season.
Under this contract the season will
consist Of eight days instead of seven
or six days as past chautauqua con-
tracts have been. The two dollar
charge for the season ticket includes
the war tax and inasmuch as nearly
400 season tickets were pledged last
year for a 1921 chautauqua at three
dollars, it is thought that there will
be little trouble in pledging the re-
quired number for the Independent
chantaunna.

MASON COUNTYMAY
HAVE A COMPANY Of
NATIONAL GUARDS
Adjutant General Says Opportunity Is
Given Mason County for
National Guard
Unit.

Tho editor has received this letter
from Adjutant General Morris and If
there are those who are interested in
the organization of Mason county
unit, they should let II be known at
once.
"At the beginning of the World War,
the National Guard of Kentucky was
called into the Federal service, and
after the war was over it was muster
ed out, leaving the state with no Ma
tional Guard troops.
"The Guard is now being reorgan-
lied and 1t is desired to have each
years increment distributed over the
state as equally as possible.
"The national defense act provided
that a committee be appointed to To-
cate the units of the National Guard
over the state. This committee has
been appointed by the War Depart
ment and will meet sometime next
month, and / am writing to ask If your
county would like to be represented by
unit in the National Guard.
Something like $4,000 each year
of Federal funds are paid to members
Of each unit of the National Guard; !;
besides being uniformed and equip
ped the officers and men are paid a
full days pay for each drill OF one
and one-half hours they attend.
"The recent reduction of the size OF
the Regular Army by Congress makes
the National Guard a more important
part of the country's defense, and it
should be organized without delay.
"If you would like to have a unit
organized in your county, please re-
commend suitable persons for officers
after comforting with them, and ad-
wise this office, and all necessary in
formation and assistance will be given
toward getting an application from
your county ready to be considered by
the committee when it meets next
month"

POLICE Dogs USED IN
SEARCH OF MUHDERERS
Degenerate Supposed to Have Killed
Both Murdered Teachers
Near Cleveland.

Cleveland, Ohio. Feb IS. - A heavy
clug, on which were matted strands
of the light hair of Miss Mabel Foote,
teacher at the Parma High School,
and the dark hair of Miss Louise Wolf,
principal, found on the lonely road
where the two women were beaten to
death yesterday, has led to the belief
that the double murder was commit
ted by a single degenerate, who WELD
ed the club first on one and then on
the other.
Search for the slayer was resumed
at daybreak by officers and a posse of
more than 100 farmers armed with
shotguns and pistols. Two German
police dogs have been brought to the

MAYSVILLE EAGLES
may BUY A HOME IN
IMMEDIATE FUTURE
Committee Is Named To Investigate
INSTRUMENTATION Grow.
Ing Rapidly Sees Need
For Own Home.

The Maysville Lodge OF Eagles will
probably purchase home in the i'm
mediate future. Steps toward this d.
rection were taken at meeting of the
organization last night when a COM
mittee was named to look into the
matter and several proposed sites
will probably be carefully investigat-
ed by this committee at once.
The local lodge of Eagles is one OF
the most rapidly growing organiza-
tions in the city and, in many respects
they are outgrowing their present
quarters. AS the organization is in
splendid financial condition, they
have thought Of owning their own
home instead of renting property as
they have done ever since the organi,
zation of the local lodge.
There are several splendid locations
that are now available and should ac'
ton along this line be taken, it is
more than likely that it will be taken
within very short time.
