Only regular cutomors are customers. It will therefore be readily seen
that making customers Is much more Important thai making sales.
How are regular customers made!
' Certainly not with bargain prices or Inferior merchandise.
A regular customer Is a satisfied customer, aad nothing la the jrorld
takes a satisfied customer but rood quality, fair prices aad Intelligent
service.
ThaU a fundamental law of human nature. It Is true always, during
hard times and good times, when prices are low or high.

Cincinnati, Aug. 80. "State Pro
hibition Officer Sam Collins, of Ken
tucky, has my support 100 per cent.,"
was the comment of Prohibition Com
missioner Roy Haynes when his at
tention was called to a message that
efforts were being made to have Col
lins removed, according to a special
dispatch to the Cincinnati Times Star
today.
"Mr. Collins, who Is one of the high
est paid prohibition officers in me
country," continued Major Haynes,
has had the opposition of the forces
that favor law violation ever since he
assumed the office. He will not be re
moved, and his resignation. It tender
ed, would not be accepted."
Commlsloner Haynes statement was
prompted by action taken at a meet
ing of the congregation o fthe First
Baptist church In Newport Sunday
night. A telogram waa sent to Wash
ington protesting against attempts to
remove Collins.
Tho tolegram slated that liquor In
terests were back of the movement to
have him ousted.
"At present Mr. Collins and other
prohibition enforcement officers undor
his Jurisdiction are doing their utmost
to make the law and constitution su
preme," the telegram read.
"We thank you for your services In
the past and pray you to defeat this
effort to oust these men from office."
MANY CRIMINAL CASES ON
CIRCUITJOURT DOCKET
Although Court Docket Is Loaded With
Criminal Actions, It Is Not Likely
That Many Will Be Tried.
Fall term of the Mason Circuit Court
will bo opened on next Monday morn
ing by Judge C. D. Newell. As a usual
thing the fall term of court ia a very
busy one but Indications at present
are that there will bo very little busi
ness attended to this terra as there are
few cases of any Importance on the
dockets although there are many
small ones.
'. The dockot shows a total of 78 crim
inal cases many of which taavo been
hanging fire for months but Indica
tions aro that only a few of these
cases will come to trial. Of the total
ot 78 cases, nine of the indictments
are against the City of Maysville and
six against tho Maysville Water Com
pany charging them with maintaining
a nuisance.
A total of 84 civil actions were filed
during the past recess between courts,
ot which 43 are equity coses, 38 com
mon law cases and threo appeals.

Next Tuesday.
Prof. W. J. Capllnger, Superintend
ent of City Schools, makes this state
ment on the opening of schools
The schools will open Tucsdny

are to report at the building in the dis
trict In which they live. If any rooms
are too crowded .some children who
desire to change, to another building
will bo permitted to do so If conditions
warrant such change. We haven't but
one desire and that is to make the
schools of the greatest possible serv
ice to the city and its children, this is
not to be interpreted however, to
mean that it Is possible or even best
to allow each parent to rule arbltrnr
lly concerning his or her private In
terest as schools nro conducted on the
general principle of "the greatest good
for the greatest number."
The principal of the High School
and I will be Jn the office Saturday to
assist In arranging tho studies of any
students desiring such help.
Children who attended the summer
school should call at tho office Satur
day or Tuesday afteruon If they nre
uncertain as to their classification.
The buildings have been In a course
of cleaning for the past five weeks and
parents may rest assured that we are
going to do all within our power to
keep them sanitary and attractive tho
entire year.
We should like to urge that every
child bo on hand Tuesday morning.
Do not start the school year making
apologies for unperformed duties.
Thero will be a teachers' meeting at
the High School building at 9 a. m
Monday. Consequently it will be Im
possible to see parents betwen that
hour and 4 p. m. W. J. CAPLIXGEK,

Washington, Aug. 31. The Inter
state Commerce Commission declared
today an emergency existed on the
railroads west of the Mississippi and

veBt territory, effective September 1.
Under a previous emergency dec
laration, the priority system was or
dered only for territory east of the
Mississippi, although all railroads
were ordered to expedite shipments of
essential commodities.
Declaring that, "in the opinion of
the commission, an emergency, which
requires Immediate action, exists upon
the lines of each and all the common
carriers by railroad subject to the
Interstate Commission act west of the
Mississippi," the commission Issued
Service Order No. 24, which promul
gated rules for the movement of all
freight traffic In the west.
Priority in the movement of food,
fuel, livestock and perishable prod
ucts is ordered by the commission.
Priority in the movement; exchange,
interchange and return of empty cays
to be used for transporting these com
modities, also was ordered. This was
taken to mean that equipment on the
western lines Is deteriorating rapidly.

Germany without exacting the securi
ties demanded by France Is every
