Knox county now has the only town
of Washington in the state; but time
was when several communities in
Maine bore that name. There was a
plantation Of that name in kennebec
county, a part of which was later in
oorporatoG as Mt. Vernon, and the re-
mainder as the town of Brooks There
was also a Washington plantation in
York county which has since become
Newficld. Franklin county once had
{. Washington plantation. which gave
up the struggle for plantation govern
ment though the township is still
known b. tho plantation name.
With Mayflowers poisoning forth
in early November and various other
plants peeking out long before they
are due, this has been an unusual
year for the flower kingdom. But
here's the best one yet: Saturday
morning apple blossoms were picked
in the orchard Of Joseph A. Warren,
mill manager for athe S. D. Warren
company at Westbrook. The trees
in Mr.. Warren's yard were covered
with fresh, green leaves with the
delicate buds among them. These
late November apple blossoms were
exhibited about the mills and were
source Of wonder.

LEAGUE ORGANIZERS
TO MEET At PARIS
ON next TUESDAY
Committee Drafting Constitution Of
Proposed Bluegrass Baseball League
Are Differing On Its Rules.

Paris, KY, Feb. 21. - A committee
commposed of Jesse Morton of Lex
ington, John Linehan of Cynthiana,
and B. F. Goodman of Paris, repre-
senting the organizers of the proposed
new Bluegrass Baseball League, met
here last night and decided on Feb
ruary 28 as the date for a meeting of
the stockholders of the various clubs
to be held at Paris for the purpose of
taking final vote on the constitution
and bylaws, draft of which will be
presented by the committee at the
meeting.
Each member of the committee last
night submitted written drafts Of con-
ditions under which the league should
be formed and conducted. 1t is under
stood that these drafts will differ to
some extent, perhaps enough serious
ly to affect the organization of the
league, unless the views of the differ
ent committeeman can be reconciled.
The committee will hold a meeting
some time previous to the gathering of
next Tuesday for the purpose of draw
ing up the rules of the league. Good
man Is chairman of the committee.

FURTHER FEDERAL
''"''' AcfIoS la1cS' EXPECTED
Officials Of Newport Are Checked Very
Carefully BY U. s. Dis.
trlct Officials.

Newport, Ky, Feb. 81. - Apparently
there is another undercurrent Of fed.
cral action about to be set into mo-
tion that will lead to further prosecu-
tion of those in Newport and Campbell
county who have been accused Of al
lowing the city to fall into the state
that required the presence of militia
men.
1t was learned last night that there
has been careful examination of the
records Of several persons who have
been accused OF various infractions OF
the law to determine whether their
cases come within the reach Of the
United States District Court. 1t would
seem from the intimation that were
given that means Of prosecution has
been opened and further arrests may
be expected.
This information had certain
bearing upon the proposed journey OF
delegation to Frankfort to lay the
matter before the Legislature and to
act upon the resolutions adopted by
five OF Newportt's churches asking for
the impeachment Of Lawrence Diskin
the Commonwealth Attorney. The
delegation OF ministers, after hearing
those who have charge Of the Citizens
comittee, were inclined to wait for
this action.

INQUEST POSTPONED
As OFFICIALS LOOK
| into DEATH Of BABE
coroner Higgins Postpones Holding
Inquest Over Baby Found in Creek
For Investigation Into Its
Parentage.

coroner Thomas F. Higgins has in
definitely postponed holding an in
quest over the body of a baby found
Monday afternoon in Cabin Creek near
Springdale until officials may have an
opportunity to look carefully into the
case in an effort to establish the par
entage of the baby and the one re-
sponsible for its murder.
The theory that the baby's body
might have been carried up into the
creek from the river on the sudden
rise in the creek has been exploded
by the officials, who are Of the opinion
that the baby was thrown into the
creek at point near where the body
was found and that the baby was only
a few hours, or at most, day old
when its little body was thrown into
the water. The body had not been in
the water for long when discovered for
it did not show signs of decomposi-
tion such as could be expected had it
been in the water long.
Two other ca ses similar to this one
have occurred in Mason county in re-
cent years and both cases were solved
by the officers. 1t is thought that if
the officers are given some time on
this case, they will be enabled to un-
ravel the mystery and establish the
parentage of the babe as we'll as fix
the responsibility for its cruel murd r.

NOVEL DISPLAY OF
POCKET SAVINGS BANK

On Saturday OF last week. Mr.. Hord
Willett, the representative OF fac
tory making small savings banks, dec
GRATED the windows in the Bank of
Maysville very attractively. In the
east window is displayed large me-
chanical doll about the size Of a small
boy. This boy is operated by an elec-
trio motor, and has attracted much at
tention because Of its life-like appear
ance. There are only three dolls in
the United States like the one on ex-
hibition Maysville. This doll is de-
signed to advertise some very attract
i've pocket savings banks which the
Bank Of Maysville is putting out.
These little banks are the neatest and
most convenient pocket banks that we
have ever seen. They are handsomely
bound in leather and have the appear
ance OF a small book The coins are
inserted in a slot in the upper edge
and they will hold about $2500.
The west window Of the bank is
equipped with handsome mahogany,
electric lighted case fitted with mir
rors, in which are displayed more of
these little banks. together with coins
of various denominations.
These two windows are attracting
considerable attention. Hardly any
one passes the bank without stopping
to look at them. The banks them
selves are being put out by the Bank
of Maysville following out its policy
Of teaching thrift to the citizens of
this community. This bank, for num-
ber of years, has been preaching the
advantages of thrift. The little banks
are designed to save the owners small
coins. Every citizen in this commun-
ity should procure one of these banks
and begin to save their small change
and see in what a remarkable way 1t
will increase to large amounts. The
Bank Of Maysville retains the key to
these banks, thus removing the temp
tation to spend your savings. When
the bank is filled, or as often as you
desire, II may be taken to the Bank of
Maysville where It will be opened and
the contents deposited to Savings Ac-
county which will draw three per
cent. compound interest.
Get one Of these banks and try for
and prove to your own sat
how easy It is to save.
