White Knob Conner

Question: have certificate for 1o0
shares OF White Knob Copper common
and want 70 know If Ii is worth anything
The stock has recently been listed on the
Curb market, but what puzzles me is that
sometimes i is listed White Knob and
again as White Knob preferred. When !
first noticed 1t the price was 20 cents and
now IL is 8.. ] have had this stock since
me, but it cost SIS for the certificate at
that time. II 1t is worth anything would
you advise me to get rid OF Mrs,
E. s. M.
Answer--The charter of White Knob
Copper Company was voided in 1907
stock is, therefore, worthless. The
stock of the White Knob Copper and
Development Company, recently organ
lied, is the one listed on the Curb
market.

Company Shows Deficit

Question: am business man and
wish to know what you think of the
Grafton & knight Manufacturing Company
per cent cumulative prefererd stock
am desirous of purchasing 10 shares and
would be grateful for your advice.--J. H.
Answer-Operations of the Grafton G.
Knight Manufacturing Company for
1921 resulted in deficiency Of So
742,712, and balance sheet of the
company for the year ended December
81, 1921, shows deficit Of $1,732, 1856
These facts in conjunction with con-
dition showing inventories composing
almost so per cent of assets, do not
lead us to look favorably on the pre-
ferred stock of this company We do
not recommend this stock for invest
ment.

HENRY FORD asked
T0SPEAK AT LOCAL
CAAUTAUQUA
Geat Manufacturer Asked to Fill Va
cancy on Local Program
Tickets Go On Sale Monday
At Reduced Price.

1t was learned Monday that the
committee of Leslie H. Arthur Post
American Legion in charge OF the To-
cal Chautauqua which is to be held
August 6-13 inclusive, had asked Mr..
Henry Ford, the automobile manufac-
turer to fill the one vacancy on the
local program. No reply has been re-
,ceived from Mr.. Ford but the commit
tee is expecting to hear from him at a
very early date.
Season tickets fer the eight day pro-
gram have arrived and were placed on
sale Monday morning at two dollars
each for the entire program. Twelve
hundred season tickets have been
pledged and these will be distributed
20 the guarantors this week. When
these twelve hundred tickets are sold
the price will be increased to $3.50
per season ticket. None will be sold,
however by the Legion at the advanced
price until all Of the guarantors' tick
cts have been disposed of at the lower
price.
Indications are that the 1922 Chau-
tauqua will be one Of the best ever
held in Maysville. AS to talent, there
has been no better program ever Of
tered. 1t is well balanced with music,
lectures. fun and magic. Everyone in
he Maysville district is going to at
tend and they are advised to procure
heir tickets as early as possible.

A record-breaking crowd heard the

every number perfectly. If the Card

ecution, Sunday nights program was
never excelled here and there was
never a larger audience to hear a con-
cert. Little Harry Blythe's cornet solo
was a great hit.

FIVE HUNDRED MORE
SIGN POOL CONTRACTS
Million and q Half Pounds Added to
Burley Association Pledges
During Past Week.

Lexington, KY, June 26. More
than five hundred growers were add
ed to the signed membership of the
Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association during the past week, not
counting the West Virginia and East
ern Ohio territory, in which Manager
Clifton Rodes and his staff of workers
are said to be making considerable
progress in the fact of determined
fight made by warehouse and specu-
latiVe interests.
More than million and a half
pounds of tobacco are added to the
holdings OF the Burley Association by
the past weeks work, It was said at
the Office of the Field Service Division.
Assistant Chief Williams Collins spent
most of the week in the western part
of the district, in the counties of Bar
rem. Hart, Larue and Metcalfe, aiding
local workers in perfecting campaign
organizations.
The belief is steadily growing
among members of the association
that the sign-up of growers will be so
thorough that not enough tobacco will
be left to be marketed through the few
loose leaf warehouses operating in the
hurley district to make the business
profitable this year. Some counties
have an almost unanimous sign-uI
and in others the amount signed up tt
the association constitutes about 81
to IS per cent. of the production
Leaders of the Association in the
various counties of the Burley distric
| are impressing upon members the i'm
portance of quality and Of care in
looking after the growing crop and it
IS expected that quality, as a result OF
the carrying out of this policy amons
the members, will he considerably i'm
proved.
Manager Rodes on visit to Lex
ington the past week, conferred witt
Director of Warehouses Ralph NJ
Barker and was assured that proper
warehousing facilities would be pro.
vided for the growers in that section
Of the Burley district who might join
the Burley association. The director
in statement in regard to the gen.
eral warehouse policy, however. made
it plain that receiving plants would
not be established unless they arc
necessary for the best interests of the
association and that none would be
established unless absolutely neces.
sary.

MRS. SOISTER HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE:
BOND IS $4,000
Mother Of Mrs. Dewey Sweet Held BY
Magistrate to Be Chiefly Responsible
For Infants Death-Girl.
Mother Released.

Mrs. Nancy Soister, of the Spring
dale neighborhood, was held by
Squire @. V. Truesdell, of Trinity. in
an examining trial held Monday morn
ing, to be chiefly responsible for the
death of an infant, the child of her
daughter, Mrs. Dewey Sweet, whose
body was found sometime ago in
deserted we'll on farm near Trinity.
The Ma yistrate offered Mrs. Soister
bail in the sum of fifteen thousand
dollars, which she was unable to give
and she was taken to the Lewis county
Jail at Vanceburg to await the next
session Of the grand jury.
Mrs. Sweet was also charged with
the crime and the Magistrate fixed her
bond at $500 which was given and she
was released to return to her home
with her family. The defendants were
represented by Attorney A. D. Cole, of
Maysville, while County Attorney
Strother, of Vanceburg, was in charge
of the prosecution.
The evidence produced at the ex-
amining trial was practically the same
as has been recited in these columns.
Mrs. Sweet, the girl-mother of the
babe, charged her mother with wilful
neglect which caused the untimely
death of the infant. She testified that
her mother laid the babe on the rough
floor and permitted it to die from
lack of proper attention.
Great interest was taken in the trial
in the neigbhorhood of the Hoop
school house where Squire Truesdell
held his examination Monday morn
ing. Mrs. Soister, who is charged with
willful murder, was returned to
Vanceburg Monday afternoon.

SIGNS OF the EMO OF
THE WORLD DISCUSSED
Evangelist Discusses the Many Signs
Of the Second Coming Of the Christ
To Earth-Services Monday.

THE Baptism Of the Holy Ghost"
was the subject Of Rev. Howard's talk
Sunday afternoon when he gave doc
trinal instruction regarding the ex-
perience Of baptism. He did not con-
fine his teaching to the Wesleyan doc
trine but spoke rather from the Bible
and personal experience.
An interesting feaure Of the opening
service in the evening was THE
Grumbling Song" rendered by the Cox
family.
Evangelist Howard preached on the
signs OF Christ's Coming" taking his
text from Matt. 24:3. which is a ques
ton of the disciples to Jesus, Tell us
when shall these things be. and what
shall be the sign Of Thy coming and
OF the end Of the world?"
The Bible abounds with prophecies
Of Christs coming. He Himself said
He would come back to earth again
In Acts Ill the angels also promise
the return Of Jesus. In the apostles
writings we find many references to
the coming OF Christ. No one knows
when He is coming but we can study
the Masters words concerning the
signs. The post millenialists believe
that the world Is to go on with her
church and missionary work until We
usher in the golden age and then will
be thousand years Of peace before
Christ comes but the church would
lose her real spirit trying to make
nominal Christians and overlooking
quality. 1t is an easy thing to lose
Christ. The church must be in con-
flict with the world and be witnesses
for Him. The Masters words oppose
the golden age when He says "As 1t
was in the days Of Noah so shall 1t be
in the days Of the coming of the Lord"
Jesus said: After the gospel is
preached as witness to all nations
then will the end come. We live in a
hurry up age and modern inventions
are helping to spread the gospel
quickly. Another sign is the Jews re-
turn to Palestine. Prophesy is being
rapidly fulfilled. There is a Zionist
movement among them now. trying to
buy back the old commonwealth Of
Palestine.
In ii Timothy We find these words
In the last days perilous times shall
come" Statistics show that in 1900
two thousand people committed sui
eide. Mems hearts also failing them
for fear There will be no permanent
peace In this sinful world until the
Prince OF Peace brings It.
In the last days people will be "lov-
ers OF pleasure, without natural affec-
ton. ever learning wit ever coming to
the knowledge of the true way. Many
churches today have form Of godli-
ness but deny the power thereof.
He will not have another destruc-
ion OF the world by water but by fire.
In that day the saints will go to meet
Him in the air. Are you ready TO
meet Him? Christ said "In such an
hour as ye think not the Son Of Man
cometh."
Evangelist Howard expects to deal
with such vital subjects as these dur
ing this week Don't fail to hear him.
Mrs. Cox breaches Monday evening.
Come and bring your Bibles.

REPUBLICANS have
GREATLY REDUCED,
NATIONS EXPENSES
Senatorial Campaign Chairman, In
Statement, Tells the Great Saving
to the Common People Made by
Republican Administration.

Washington, June 25. - Reductions
in appropriations, federal taxes and
freight rates since the Republican ad-
ministration came into power were de-
tailed in a statement issued tonight by
Senator Mccormick Of Illinois, Chair
man of the Republican Senatorial
Campaign Committee.
That the Republican Congress had
saved the taxpayers seven billions OF
dollars compared with the sums
sought to be spent under the Wilson
administration during three years"
was asserted by Senator Mccormick,
who added
Since Warren Harding took office
we have paid nearly billion dollars
Of the national debt. We have cut the
annual expenditure of the federal gov
ernment by billion dollars, or about
25 per cent. per annum. No other gov
ernment in the world has done any
thing like II. Neither have any of the
state or municipal governments, many
of which have increased taxation.
since Warren Harding took office
the present Congress has reduced the
annual aggregate of taxation by about
a billion dollars, by some eight hun
dred million dollars for the current
year, and by billion dollars year
thereafter. We have wiped off the stat
ute books a score or two of nuisance
taxes which fell upon everything used
by father, mother, sister and sonny.
We have been able to reduce all in
come taxes 80 that for every one they
are less, for example, than those paid
in the British Isles. The additional
income tax exemptions have reduced
by about third the tax of the family
man with an income of $1,000 year
or less. We not only have reduced the
total sum of federal taxation by about
billion dollars year, but we have
reduced 1t to such a point that the
government of the United States col
lects from its citizens per capita about
one-third as much as does the gov
ernment Of Great Britain.
"Since Warren Harding became
President the increase IN the value of
Liberty bonds, which have gone to par,
amounts to about three billion dol
lars"
