JUMPED FROM RAPIDLY Nov
ing TRAIN, SAY OFFICIALS
Maysville Colored Man Found to Have
Been Insane in New York Brought
To Maysville BY Official.

An attache of the New York state
hospital for insance arrived here Mon
day evening having in charge Grant
Chambers, colored, formerly a butch
er throughout this section. The man
was turned over to the local officers
as an insane man who was being de-
livered to his native home by the au-
thorities of the New York state hos
pital.
The official who delivered Chambers
here said that the man had jumped
from the window of train moving at
the rate of approximately go miles an
hour and lighting on his shoulder suf-
fered a broken shoulder. The officer
said that the trains conductor came
into the coach where Chambers was
seated and drew from his pocket his
ticket punch. Chambers evidently
thought that it was a revolver as he
was reported to have been engaged fol
a time as a strike breaker, and he
jumped through an open window.
Chambers denies that he is insane
and acts and talks as a normal man
He will be given hearing in the loca
courts.

DIpHTHERIA SPREAD IS
ALARMING IN KENTUCKY
Large Increase In Death Rate Certain
From Disease Unless Public
Awakens to the Danger.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 10.-Unless the
people of Kentucky awaken immedi-
ately to the danger In diphtheria, the
death rate from the disease will in
crease enormously this fall and win
ter, DR.. A. T. Mccormack, State Health
Officer, declared in an address deliver
ed here Monday. The number of cases
in the state at the present time, he
added, already is in excess of that at
the same time last year.
There are now, as in the past" DR..
Mccormack said, three reasons why
diphtheria is spreading so alarmingly:
Doctors are not called soon enough,
and persons with diphtheria give it to
others before the disease is recog-
nized; isolation is not complete
enough during illness; and persons
who have had diphtheria begin going
out before 1t is shown by laboratory
test that they are free Of the disease.
"Diphtheria need never be fatal. Il
doctors are called early enough ant
anti-toxin administered persons suf
fering with the disease in sufficien
quantities, recovery, is certain. Ant
anti-toxin ia so cheap that it can b.
obtained by the poorest. The Stat
Board OF Health will supply it at re
duced rates. and there is scarcely
county in the state which hasn't al
arrangement by which absolutely in
digent persons can obtain 1t free"

Big sale OF POOL
TOBACCO MADE TO
REYNOLDS COMPANY
Theo. Kirk for the r J. Reynolds To-
bacco Company Buys Fifty-four
Million Pounds Of Pooled To-
bacco Late Monday.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 1o.-Nfty-four
million pounds of tobacco were sold
late Monday by the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association,
through president and general man
ager James c. Stone of the association
to the r. ]. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany, through its Kentucky vice presi-
dent, T. H. Kirk. The tobacco was sold
at the association prices for the as
sociation grades, President Stone said.
Part of the tobacco, it was said, was
sold for export. The sale included
practically the entire holdings Of the
association.
The negotiations leading up to this,
the largest sale Of hurley tobacco to
single manufacture in the history Of
the country, have been going on for
more than a week between Mr.. Kirk
on the one hand and President Stone
and director OF warehouses Ralph M.
Barker on the other. The gentlemen
finally completed the deal late Mon
day evening and there was general re-
ioicing in the ranks of the Burley As
sociation members and officials.
No information WAS given by MI
Stone or Mr.. Barker as to the amount
of money involved, as it was said II
was not known just how much the
tobacco would bring until the trans
action finally is completed by the ac-
tual taking over of tho tobacco which
was purchased from the association
Monday. Both President Stone ant
Director Barker hove said for soms
time that the association would sci
all its holding because Of the needs o.
the manufacturers and the lightness o
g the 1922 crop and that it was yer,
4 likely that a considerable portion O
( the holdings of the association woult

MUST PROVIDE FOR
RECEIPT OF MAIL
New Postal Ruling Provides That
Homes Must Have Box or Letter
Slot In Door for Deposit Of Mall.

Postmaster NJ. F. Kehoe isues this
statement to the Maysville public:
To all patrons receiving mail by city
carriers your attention is respectfully
called to the order of the First Assist
ant Postmaster General:
ION account OF the delays caused to
carriers at dwelling houses where no
door-slot or mail receptacle is provid-
ed, and the fact that a large majority
OF dwellings are thus equipped already
II seems timely, with a reasonable
period, to require all who are to re-
ceive mail by street carriers at their
dwellings to provide such accommoda-
tions, the expense of the same being
small. Postmasters are therefore thus
instructed. The length Of notice should
not exceed four months, although
there may be exceptional cases where
postmasters should use reasonable
discretion OF ask for instructions.
"It is not the Departments desire. Of
course, that any shall be deprived o.
delivery by this requirement, bu
rather 1t is earnestly hoped that al
will see the reasonableness Of 1t anC
It's advantage to themselves as we'll a
to the carriers. But II It finally be
comes necessary mail delivery will b
discontinued where no door-slot
(preferably) or mail receptacles ar
provided"
All patrons OF this once are request
ed to comply with the order OF the de
partment by December 1, 1922.

THOSE OLD
PUNCTURE-A-MILE TIRES +?

Its all right to talk about
those good old days before the
war-go back. just as far as you
want to-but when you get
around to automobiles, and the
cost of running them, don't wish
for tires of the days gone by. -
So says H. Elenbaas, Good
year tire dealer for this district.
I'VE can all remember when
the horseless carriage took the
center of the cartoonists' spot
light and crowded even the mo-
thers-in-law and the newlyweds
out of first place in the funny
pictures. Why, whenever the
automobile was shown it had a
flat tire. Punctures and blowouts
were frequent occurrences. The
intrepid motorist started on a
tour with a supply of inner tubes
festooned over the tonneau.
1--WE heard that five hundred
miles was more than you could
expect from set of those first
tires. It's easy to believe when
you remember that 5000 miles
would satisfy just a few years
ago.
"I'll give full credit to improv-
ed road conditions but you've
got to hand the prize to the fell
lows who have improved the tires
as we'll.
To-day, from a cord tire. you
get twice the mileage you did in
1910, and yet my price list shows
an average decline of 60 per cent
from the costs in 1910. That's
true of no other article of auto
mobile equipment.
$50 go on-talk about the
good old days until you mention
tires. Then remember that these
times right now are the good old
days"
