ed Herbert Smithers on a charge of
failure to provide for his wife and

was standing between the rows of
seated officers. Instead Of using a Gus
pidor, several of which were sitting
about, the prisoner stepped to the door
and opened 1t and as he evidently saw
the coast was clear, he made a break
for freedom. Squire Fred Bauer who
was sitting in chair on the sidewalk
Just outside the police station door,
called to the officers that their pris-
oner had escaped. The officers gave
chase but the prisoner had too much
speed and he has not since been re-
covered.
Smithers was arrested on complaint
and affidavit by Officer Boley ant
showed no signs Of endeavoring to gel
away until he was taken to the police
station.

LOCAL GRIDDERS
SHOW Up WELL IN
FIRST CONTEST
Maysville Hi Makes Splendid Showing
In First Game of Football Season
Against Millersburg Squad
Saturday Afternoon.

In their first game of the season the
gridders of the Maysville High School
made very creditable showing
against their opponent, Millersburg
Military Institute losing to them 26
to last Saturday.
Taking into consideration the new
ness of the game to the Maysville boys
with but one or two of the entire
squad having ever taken part in a
football contest and not more than
three or four ever witnessed one, this
is really wonderful, with much praise
to Coach Schneider.
Much credit of the good showing is
due Frissell the local quarterback who
by means of his experience is the most
valuable man on the eleven. He was
responsible for the lonely touchdown
for Maysville and their goal after
ward. The services of one of the To-
Gals best players, Wood, was lost in
the first few minutes of play by an
ankle injury.
The most gratifying feature of the
contest was the locals superiority at
the beginning of the second half when
they outpointed the opposition to 6
showing that the stuff is there and
only the experience is necessary tc
bring it out.
Flemingsburg is scheduled for two
games in the near future. The Elem
ing county lads open the season here
next Friday afternoon and the local!
play a return game the following Sat
urday.

age given in both directions. Hand
hoeing is necessary in the production
of good crop Of watermelons. It
or otherwise disturb them after the
fruit has set. The last cultivation
close to the plant is given just be-
fore the melons begin to form.
Insect Control-The striped GU
cumber beetle Is the most destruc-
tive OF all the insect pests. The
melon louise is also very troublesome
Nicotine sulfate will destroy all suck
ing insects. The chewing insects
can be controlled with arsenate of
lead. Five pounds of paste to each
hundred gallons Of water.
Marketing-Since small melons
are not wanted in most markets ana
buyers are likely to reject melons
under sixteen pounds in weight, it is
wise for growers to. use every effort
to produce large sized melons. 4
carload of melons that average 80
pounds each will sell better than a
carload averaging IS pounds each.
When the market becomes well sup
piled, the smaller melons are the
least in demand. Load always in
clean ventilated or stock cars. Never
load in dirty car. Place about 10
or 12 inches Of pine straw on the
bottom of the car. Place every mel
on carefully in it's place. Examine
every melon for rotten or soft spots,
and do not put defective melons iii
car. Remember that melon once
cut from the vine remains as it is.
It never ripens in transit. A ripe
melon is luxury-a green melon is
something unfit to eat.
An average estimate on loading
melons in a car Is as follows: A car
thlrty-fOur feet long will load about
1900 melons of 20 pounds each, and
about 900 melons of 80 pounds each.
A car thirty-six feet long will load
1900 melons Of 16 pounds each, 400
melons of 20 pounds each, 1890 mel
ons Of "a pounds each, and $50 mel
ons Of 80 pounds each.
