wrth their experiences of last week.
I waa very much pleased with the

PltOSPECTS FOR LEXIXUTON.
Lexington has been the scene of
many brilliant race meetings but if
tbo quaint old southern city Is blessed
with good Kentucky sunshine from
October 2 to 14, a mooting will be
staged which will eclipse all previous
ones, for the progressive management
is offering more money than ever be
fore, and is making this, the fiftieth
annual meeting, the greatest in the
history of tbo association.
Approximately $90,000 will bo raced
for and the program will Include the
$7,000 Futurity for two-year-old trot
ters, the $14,000 Kentucky Futurity for
three-year-old trotters, $5,000 Transyl
vania, $3,000 Walnut Hall Cup, $4,000
Castleton, and various other rich
events including the May Day ($13,
000) for two-year-old trotters, a new
event This will be the richest of the
year for two-year-old trotters.
Thon in addition to the races, there
are possibilities of sevoral reacord
breaking performances. Peter Man
ning 1:67 who dethroned I'hlan
1:58 as king of trotters, at Lexington
last fall, Is being brought along care
fully by ThomBs W. Murphy, with the
Idea of Blistering his own record, while
Arlon Guy, 4, 1:69H which during the
1921 meting, gained the distinction of
being the world's fastest four-year-old
trotting colt, has been showing by his
recent work that be will bo ready for
an assault on his own record. Then
too, that wonderful trotting mare
Kedda 1:59K. the most recent addi
tion to the list of two-minute trotters,
will undoubtedly be on the card to try
at the trotting record for mares. In

THRIFT SYSTEM IN
STALLED IN COUNTY
SCH00LS BY BANK
State National Dank Will Conduct Up
To-Date Thrift System In School
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 toach thrift along laBtlng lines the
American people must begin at the
foundation, tbo officials of the State
National Bank have made a study of
some of tho Thrift systems in opera
tion In over three thousand schools
throughout the United States. They
have arranged to install a school sav
ings department and to provide a rep
resentative who will visit the schools
and instruct the children along prac
tical lines about methods of obtaining
money, value of the banks in handling
and caring for money, thrift in judicial
expenditure on Immediate noeds, 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 Na
tional Bank has been adopted by the
County School Board, nnd is under
consideration for the Maysvllle
schools. It is endorsed by tho Amer
ican Bankers' Association who, finding
that only a small per cent, of people
who open accounts at banks know the
fundamental principles of how to do
business at a 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, nnd
the Liberty Insurance Bank of Louis
ville. In each Instance, the plan is en
thusiastically endorsed, not only by
the parents of tho 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 loam through practical experi
ence some of the business relations of
life, and will form habits of thrift that
will be of lasting benefit to them and
their families.

COURT HOUSE MAY RE- I
CEIYE COAT OF STUCCO
Experts figuring With County Mom
mlssloners oa Stuccoing Court
House Instead of Painting.
It has Just been learned that the
County Commissioners are figuring
with experts ton covering the court
house with stucco Instead of giving It
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 a coat of
white stone stucco.
Estimates are being received by the
Commissioners and ft 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,

VEST WEATHER IS
REPORTED IN STATE
SUte 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 19. 1922,
follow:
The dry weather and' moderate tem
perature during tho week were favor
able for cutting corn and tobacco, for
harvesting cownea and alfalfa hay,
and for picking and marketing the
large fruit crop. There was some Im
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 deteriorated In many localities.
They are fairly good in the eastern
half of the state and on tho 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. It It
also fijjr ly good in other eastern coun
ties; but In the western section It has
not spread well, 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 a light yield, in tho 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.

This was Britain's reply to the
threat of Hamid Bey, Kemalist repre
sentative in Constantinople, 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 loft 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 Br'Msh were throwing up de
fenses to comniami the two points at
which the Turk were ' expected to
strike tho Dardanelles and the Bos
