OLD HISTORY GETS BUSY

By ALAN DALE.

HISTORY really does repeat itself-in spite
H of the quotation. You think that you're
out of a groove and that something brand
new is going to occur, and 10! old history gets
busy again. Even a new theatrical season that
begins with optimistic endeavors turns out, after
all, to suggest its predecessor. We smiled at
the play entitled Manhattan" at the Playhouse
last Tuesday night, and we wondered how on
earth it ever passed rehearsal and why bland
and innocuous new season should get fright
off the reel. And yet, looking through last
August's openings, find that precisely the same
sort of production happened, inducing precisely
the same brand Of wonder.

knows, but think of what we got this time last

BRITISH ISSUE AN
ULTIMATUM To TURKS
ON their ADVANCE
English Send Word to Turks That
Their Passage Into Neutral Ter
ritory VIII Be Considered
An Act Of War.

Constantinople, Sept. 81. - With
Turkish forces concentrating on the
border of the neutral zone, General
Harrington, commander of Britain's
near east army, served notice today on
Mustapha Kemal that any advance in
to the inter-allied territory would be
considered an act Of war.
This was Britain's reply to the
threat of Hamid Bey, Kemalist repre-
sentative in Constlntinople, that the
Turks would cross the neutral zone to
invade Thrace if that province were
not turned over to them Immediately.
Throughout the night British troops
dug in on the near east front, REIN
forcements going up from all the
garrisons in Constantipolie.
The railway stations were crowded
as wives of British officers and scores
of other persons LEFT the war zone.
In spite of Harrington's warning,
the Turks were reported bringing up
artillery and cavalry and making
every preparation for the attack.
The British were throwing up de-
fenses to command the two points at
which the Turks were expected to
strike-the Dardanelles and the Bos-
Dorus

missioners on Stuccoing Court
House Instead Of Painting.

1t has Just been learned that the
County Commissioners are figuring
with experts ,on covering the court
house with stucco instead of giving 1t
its regular dress Of paint this year.
The exterior of the court house
needs attention badly, this the Com
missioners acknowledge and they are
now endeavoring to decide whether it
would be better to continue the old
system of painting the large building
or whether it would be better to give
it a covering of gray marble stucco
with the large pillars given coat of
white stone stucco.
Estimates are being received by the
Commissioners and 1t is likely that a
final decision Of the matter will be
reached at the next meeting Of those
officials which will be held on Satur-
day, September 30th.

FAVORABLE HAR-
vest WEATHER IS
REPORTED IN STATE
State Crop Report Says Corn and To-
baccO Cutting Proceeds
Satisfactorily.

The summary Of weather and crop
conditions in Kentucky for the week
ending Tuesday, September 10. 1922,
follow:
The dry weather and moderate tenn
peratufe during the week were favor
able for cutting corn and tobacco, for
harvesting cowpea and alfalfa hay,
and for picking and marketing the
large fruit crop. There was some i'm
provement in late corn, tobacco and
potatoes, mainly in the northeastern
counties, due to the rains of the pre-
vious week: but growth was retarded
on the central and western uplands,
where these crops suffered for rain
and dcteriorated in many localities.
They are fairly good in the eastern
half of the state and on the lowlands,
but continue rather poor in other dis
tricts. Good progress was made in cut
ting early corn, and its condition in
shock is excellent Tobacco continues
to cure rapidly. Late tobacco grew out
well in the northeastern districts,
where it has made a fair crop. 1t it
also fairly good in other eastern coun-
ties; but in the western section it has
not spread we'll, is badly fired" on
hill land, and is generally light in
yield. Cutting tobacco is nearly fin
ished in some southern counties, but
rain would still be helpful to a part
of the crop in the northern section.
Late corn is maturing prematurely
with light yield, in the dry districts
Most of it will be safe from frost in
ten days. Pastures are very dry in the
uplands, and are generally poor in
other sections, while stock water con-
tinues short. A little plowing has been
done in some eastern localities, but in
general fall plowing and seeding can
make no progress of consequence un-
til good rains occur.

THRIFT SYSTEM IN
STALLED IN COUNTY
SCHOOLS BY BANK
State National Bank VIII Conduct Up
To-Date Thrift System In Schools
OF the County Beginning
At Once.

The Mason county school children
are to have the opportunity to learn
some of the principles OF actual busi-
ness practice. Believing that in order
to teach thrift along lasting lines the
American people must begin at the
foundation, tho officials OF the State
National Bank have made study of
some Of the Thrift systems in opera
tion in over three thousand schools
throughout the United States. They
have arranged to install a school saw
ings department and to provide rep
resentative who will visit the schools
and instruct the children along pfac-
tical lines about methods Of obtaining
money, value OF the banks in handling
and caring for money, thrift in judicial
expenditure on immediate needs, and
saving for future needs, the accumula-
tive value OF regular savings of small
sums, and the Importance Of a person
al budget.
The plan submitted by the State Ma
tional Bank has been adopted by the
County School Board, and is under
consideration for the Maysville
schools 1t is endorsed by the Amer
lean Bankers Association who, finding
that only small per cent. of people
who open accounts at banks know the
fundamental principles of how to dc
business at 4 bank, advocate the CO.
operation OF schools and banks in an
educational plan to teach thrift in the
schools. This has already been done
in Kentucky by the Guaranty and
Trust Company, OF Lexington, the
First National Bank OF Covington, and
the Liberty Insurance Bank OF Louis
VILE. In each instance, the plan is en-
Enthusiastically endorsed, not only by
the parents of the children, but by the
school authorities and officials of the
other banks who recognize its influ-
ence in a steady trend toward thrift
throughout the whole community.
We are sure that our own Mason
county children will readily avail
themselves of this splendid opportun'
ity to learn through practical expert
ence some OF the business relations oi
life, and will form habits Of thrift that
will be of lasting benefit to them ant
! their families.
