COUNTY OVERPAYS
PLEDGE TO UNITED
WAR WORK CAUSES
Mason County Pays $188 More Than
Had Been Fledged to United War
Work County Treasurer Is
Highly Complimented by
State Director.
Mason county has always oversub
scribed Its apportionment to every war
campaign but It has a unique record
in the United War Work Campaign
according to a report just received by
Mr. R. A. Cochran, a member of the
State Campaign committee, from Mr.
C. A. Tevebaugh, of Louisville, State
Campaign Director. Mason county
not only oversubscribed its apportion
ment In this campaign but overpaid
Its oversubscription.
Thta fact Is due, in a large meas
ure,; to the splendid services rendered
these worthy causes represented In
thta campaign by Mr. James Threlkeld
of the Bank of Maysville, who was
Treasurer ot the campaign In Mason
county. f
In bis letter Mr. Tevebaugh says:
"We have Just had such a Una letter
from the County Treasurer of the
United War Work, Mr. James Threlk
eld, that I "want to tell you about It
and how much we appreciate hi a fine
efforts.
"Your county quota In the first
place was J25.807.00. Your friends
were good enough to subscribe $30,
826.00 and the report of Mr. Threlkeld,
which has just reached us Indicates
that he has collected $31,014.00, or
$188 more than the amount subscribed.
This is a great record and Is a credit
to both Mr. Threlkeld and Mason
county."

DEMAND TO SEE
BOOKS OF STATE FAIR
Slate Republican Campaign Chairman
Threatens Suit If Request la
Refused.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 10. Demand
that the books of the Kentucky State
Fair, access to which has been refused
be made available for Inspection to
the public and notification that suit
will be entered immediately to force
submission of the books If the refusal
continues, were contained in a letter
sent to Mat Cohen, Commissioner ot
Agriculture, by Chesley H. Searcy, the
chairman of the Republican State
Campaign Committee, tonight.
The formal demand on Commission
er Cohen to allow accountants rep
resenting the Republican commttttee
to Inspect the fair records followed
the refusal of Fount Kramer, State
Fair secretary, to turn the books over
for Inspection without a written order
from Cohen.
When demand was made several
days ago that clttEene be permitted to
see the State Fair books, Mr. Cohen
took the position that the "State Fair
records were not public records."
Later he Indicated that the permission
would be forthcoming and he left the
city without granting It.
As result Kramer still refuses to
let the Republicans see the records,
Searcy asserts . in his letter. Mr.
Searcy sets forth that the records are
public records, open to any citizen,
and that it is thoroughly within the
right of any citizen to know what
Its public institutions are doing and
how they are managed, as shown by
the record.

FIRST LECTURE
TO BE GIVEN ON
NEXT TUESDAY
First Lecture In Community Clnb
Series to be Given at Terpslcho
rean Clnb Rooms.
The Terpsichorean Club has gener
ously offered its club room to the
Maysville Community Club for Tues
I day evening, October 14, when Dr. Ed
ward Wlest of the University of Ken
tucky will deliver a lecture on "Hours
of Labor and the Minimum Wage."
For the evening this beautiful, com
fortable room Is the home of the Com
munity Club and every one in the com
munity should feel at home.
Maysville greatly needs an Assem
bly Room comfortably seated, heated,
and lighted, with a stage and a piano,
for all kinds of community gatherings.
It Is difficult for people lu get together
when they have no common meeting
place. It Is difficult to cultivate com
munity spirit without a Community
Center. It Is difficult to develop local
talent without a proper place for its
expression. -
Perhaps when the Public Library is
remodeled it will be provided with an
Assembly Room as most Public Li
braries are now provided.
Perchance we shall decide that a
Community Center la the best memo
rial for our war heroes.
Perhaps we may In time come to be
lieve that the school buildings, erect
ed by publlo taxation, should serve
the people In the evening aa well as
during the day, that the auditoriums
will last aa long if used every evening
for au hour or two by the older peo
ple for their education and entertain
ment as the class rooms will last, used
every day for alx hours by the chil
dren. Provision could be made to
meet the expenses of janitors service,
light and heat, though the people who
make use of the room In the evening
would be the same people whose taxes
pay the expenses for day service.
In this rapidly moving age people
have need to continue their education
after the days of, graduation from
school and the open forum of a Com
munity Center would furnish an op
portunity for this continued educa
tion. But until the day arrives when we
shall have an Assembly Room which
is the property of allthe people, let
us gratefully accept the generosity
and courtesy of the Terpsichorean
Club In offering the use of its room
for Tuesday evening.
There will be two musical numbers
and a story, which gives the key note
of the Community Club, as a prelude
to the lecture.
The subject is of Interest to every
one and Dr. Wiest should have a good
hearing.
MANY AT MAYSLICK TODAY
The Maysllck Community Club is to
day holding a great home coming cele
bration In that hustling little town
in honor of their returned soldiers and

BIG MUSICAL SHOW
MONDAY AT WASHINGTON
Another Great Mnslcal Comedy to be
Given at the Washington Theatre
on Next Monday Evening.
"Oh, My Dear," the sixth New York
Princess Theatre musical comedy suc
cess, will be presented at xthe Wash
ington on Monday, October 13, by F
Ray Comstock and William Elliott.
Were the names of the producers not
guaranteed enough of the excellence
of the piece one might add the fact
that It enjoyed an uninterrupted run
of a year before the most critical au
diences New York could produce,
without, so much as one dissenting
vote aa to its superiority. Ouy Bol
ton and P. O. Wodehouse has provid
ed in the book and lyrics some of the
funniest situations and most brilliant
wit ever heard on the stage, and the
melodies with which Louis A. Hirsch
has adorned "Oh, My Dear" are des
tined to a long and popular existence.
Estairo Keye, Mildred" Donnelly,
Rollin Grimes, Spencer Chartls, Olive
Shelly, Wayne . Nunn, Earl Reading.
Martha Volght, Del Marie, Helen Fran
ces and a Princess Theatre chorus of
pretty girls are among the favorites
who are In the esse. The chorus waa
personally selected by F. Ray Coin
stock, who made a country-wide
search for young, pretty and talented
girls for this production. It Is the
concensus of opinion that his search
was notably succcessful. "Oh, My
Dear" has turned out the most popular
of all the New York Princess Tlieatie
offerings.

A few days ago Mr. Samuel Middle
man, local junk dealer, loaned to
Officer P. Ryan a number of tobacco
sticks upon which to hang his crop
of tobacco grown this year near the
Hunter mill. Among the sticks were
quite a number of half-Inch gas pipes

co sticks. These sticks were hauled
to the Ryan tobacco patch and last
night some thieves stole the metal

BAND MAKES IT'S
GREATEST SUCCESS
AT BIG OHIO FAIR
Maysville Boys' Bund Makes Friday
the Greatest Single Day in the
History of the Famous George

Friday's trip to Georgetown, where
they made music for the big Brown

touring cars. When the band gave
their first concert In the band stand at
10:15 a. m. they made a great hit with
the people and the officers of the Fair

of the directors carried the band all
over the grounds In concerts and they
took the crowd by storm.
Secretary Qulnlan, in signing the
band for Friday stated that was always
their slowest day and that he signed
up the band for that day to send It
over the top. At the close of the day,
the Secretary showed his records to
Manager Russell which disclosed that
there had been 15,000 paid admissions
on Friday the largest single day In
the history of this old fair.
birector Young, who is a native of
that section, met many of his old
friends and Manager Russell received
many compliments on his fine juvenile
organization. The band is today at

sic for a great soldiers and sailors
home coining.
