CLEARING HOUSE
CERTIFICATE IS
EXCHANGE MEDIUM

Paducah banks are using the clear
ing house certificates for the first
time this morning. the shipment OF
checks having arrived from the en-
craving house this morning. They
are handsome examples of the en-
craving art. They are isued in de
nominations of one, two, five, ten and
twenty dollars. and are signed by the
president and assistant secretary of
the Clearing House association, G. ".
Robertson and Nolan w. VanCulih.
respectively. Each denomination is
Of different color, for easy identih-
cation. and are dated December :.
The face of the certificate reads:
This check is payable only in ex
change on a reserve city and is pro-
tected by securities pledged with the
clearing house association, and they
are guaranteed by all of the banks Of
the city and made payable at any
bank in the city.
I'VE think that we shall not have
TO use these certificates much longer, "
said a banker today. 1.-The premium
on money is disappearing and as soon
as the reserve city banks will ship to
the country banks currency payments
may be resumed. The certificates
are answering all the purposes of the
real currency. The people have be-
come so accustomed to them now that
they are readily accepted. Business
is improving every day now. and con-
fdence Is rapidly being restored"

Frisz and w. A. Bishop, who died
this year, and the brothers that had
gone before.
The theater was well filed with
people whose sympathy was with the
lodge. The stage was beautifully
decorated with palms and the ma
tional flag. In the center of the
stage and toward the front was the
altar of the exalted ruler and on
both sides of the altar were seated
the other officers of the lodge and in
the rear was the lodge body. At the
back of the stage was black shield
with an elks head on it, and both
were lighted with electricity. As the
roll of the brothers who have died
this year was called the lights were
extinguished, first of those on the
shield, next those on the antlers of
the elk. lastly those on the elks
head.
The audience responded most grae
iously when asked by the exalted
ruler to join with the lodge in sing
ing the hymns, all the services were
carried through with great respect
to the memory Of their dead BROTH
|ers.

bell delivered an eloquent grafton,
extolling the principles and practices
of the B. p. o. Elks.
He said in part:
The order of Elks has grown great
because 1t fills an actual want. Its
broad faith is sufficiently Catholic TO
embrace all creeds and peoples. It's
charity extends beyond the mere dol
ing out of gratuities, The organiza-
ton includes Catholics and Protest
ants, Jew and Gentle, meeting on
one common level of human sympa-
thy and brotherly love"
He spoke of the custom of estab-
fishing "Elks' Homes In lodge
quarters. thus affording the congen-
ial atmosphere OF home for the
man who is absent from the family
fireside.
In reference to the custom Of
holding annual memorial services,
he said it is simply recognition of a
human desire not to be forgotten.
He said mighty monuments have
been erected in ages past by great
monarchs to perpetuate their own
memories among a people who never
knew them. Empires have been
destroyed and maps changed that
great warriors might have their
deeds perpetuated in the history of
the world" The Elks, he said,

marked Geo. Ellsworth, who brought

not fools and know that to hide the
money and keep Il out of circulation
means that farm products must neces-

cause for a panic and are not going

Mr.. TitswOrth's idea semed to meet
the approval of number of other
farmers who we're here today.
AS early as | am this morning the
tobacco wagons began to come into
Paducah," he continued many of
them from Ballard and Marshall
counties and by the time the en-
|ployes of the various Independent to-
bacco houses came on duty there were
score or more of wagons waiting
them.
Tho prices paid average 10 cents
around, while In many instances as
high as 3 cents has been paid today.

OF Ballard county, probably made the
largest deliveries. 5000 pounds being

SPECIAL GUARDS
AROUND TOBACCO
STORED AT MURRAY

Murray. KY, Dec. 2. Especial. y
Armed guards have been placed on
watch at the various tobacco ware
houses at this place since a second
attempt was made in one night last
week by an incendiary to fire the Muir
ray association warehouse, owned by
~. C. Graham & company, of Padu-
cab. and the building owned by X.
Downs G. company, of this place,
and occupied by Griffin & Barnett.
of Padueah, the local buyers for the
Italian government.
The fact that attempts were made
to burn both the association and
Italian warehouses the same night
within an hours time. gives assur-
ance to Murray citizens that the
would,be incendlaries are not might
riders" who have grievance at
either the association or the Reggie
buyers. but that ii Is someone, who
has a mania for starting fires, and
probably is the same party that has
been responsible for the many con
nagrations that have occurred in the
city during the last two years.
The attempt to burn the tobacco
warehouses was committed Friday
night and was bold. A shed, near
the warehouses In which a large
drum OF gasoline was stored, was
entered and a large amount of gaso-
line stolen and poured on the wood
en- doors and partitions of the Ora
ham warehouse. Soon after the
match was applied City Marshal Rob-
erts and another person, who
CHANGED to be passing, saw the fire.
extinguished II, after the gasoline
had burned OF the wood. The mar
shall then left the warehouse to
notify the bookkeeper. Mir. Charles
Moore, who was rooming nearby. Be
fore he reached Mr.. Moore's room he
saw another flash in the shed near
the Reggie warehouse. and flames
shot high in tn air. Rushing back
TO the building he found the whole
shed aflame. An alarm was turned
In and the citizens, who responded,
were successful in putting out the
blaze. Il is supposed that when the
first gasoline was taken the faucet
was left open allowing the gasoline
to run out on the ground and a
match was applied to II. This is ev-
dent from the fact that had there
been any gasoline in the tank, there
would have been terrible explosion.
The next morning the city council
met in called session and voted to
employee guards to stay at the ware
house buildings an indefinite length
of time. This action was taken to
prevent the insurance companies
from Withdrawing Insurance on the
buildings, which was threatened by
the companies adjusters.
NIurray's Many Fires.
Many disastrous fires have occur
red in Murray recently. all of which
were believed to have been of in
cendiary origin. Notably among
these was the burning of the Murray
Institute, one of the most noted in
situations of learning in western
Kentucky the county court house,
business block on the west side OF
the court square; Arlington hotel,
freight depot, bottling works and
many residences. Several unsuccess-
full attempts were made to fire build
ings. one OF the most important be-
ing the attempt to burn the building
occupied by the Murray Ledger.
