PARIS. KENTUCKY. TUESDAY JANUARY 49, 1908
County Supervisors Adjourn.

The County Board of Supervisors ad-
journed Friday after two weeks ses-
sion. The banks of Bourbon were as
sessed at eighty per cent. of the book
value of their capital stock and sur
plus and undivided profits, less the
assessable value of real estate. Inc
1906 crop of Equity tobacco was fixed
at 1000, 900 pounds and assessed at the
rate of one cent per pound.
Last year the Board assessed the
banks at one hubdred per cent, and the
decisioJ arrived at Friday places the
banks of Bourbon county upon an equal
footing with like institutions in neigh
boring counties.
In regard to the tobacco question 1t
was found that farmers who still held
their 1906 crop had been assessed as
individuals, at the rate OF five cents
per pound. while those members of the
Equity Society who had delivered their
crops to the Bourbon Warehouse Com
pany were not assessed at all. Those
who were assessed were stricken from
the list and their aggregate merged
into that of the Warehouse Company
in order to equalize the taxation.

VOLUME XVII
Subscriptions Must Be Paid.

We again call attention to the fact
that, according to the rulings of the
Postoffice Department none but paid
ND subscriptions may be sent through
the mails. While this may eventually
be a blessing to the newspapers IN
forcing them to adopt the cash in adj
vance system, still it will work hard
ship in many instances. We have on
our list of subscribers many who are as
good for small amounts of subscription
as it is possible for man to be and
vet we can not send their papers and
await their convenience without break
ing the law.
We are given reasonable length OF
time to adjust our subscription accounts
and are this week mailing to all of our
subscribers who are in arrears, state
ments of their accounts that will pay
them in advance. We hope that those
who receive them will come in prompt
Nv and settle and continue their SUBJ
scription. We do not wish to lose any
of our subscribers, and if we should
we wish for them to know that it is
the regulations of Postoffice Depart
ment that we are complying with, and
not an action of our choice.

DR.. Henry Buys Another Addition

DR.. D. S. Henry, on Saturday, pur-
chased of Mr.. Ed. Corey III acres of
land lying on the BANKS of Houston
creek on Eighth street, just inside the
city limits for $3.50.
This is the third tract OF land bought
by DIR. Henry since locating in Paris
IN the spring of 1907. The first tract
was several acres on Vine street and
was Immediately thrown open as res
ident district and now has a graded
street, concrete pavements and thir-
teen new residences occupied by own
ers and tenants.
The second tract comprised seven
acres on Cypress street. This tract
was bought IN September and wide
avenue graded through the property,
and a sale of lots held in which nearly
the entire number were sold. DIR.
Henry says he believes in the future
of Paris and he has contributed much
to her material advancement. A few
more hustling and enterprising citi-
zens in Paris like DR.. Henry would
help the city wonderfully.

Report OF Truant Officer.

The school census for 1907-S shows
that in the city of Paris there were last
April /, OBS whites between the ages Of
and 20 years of these $50 were under
IA years of age and subject to the
truant law.
The school authorities, feeling it to
be their duty to know where the 539
pupils are, required Mrs. Newt. Clark.
the faithful truant officer. to account
for them. Her report is as follows:
Pupils under IA years of age enrolled
in city schools $50; in parochial and
private schools 1859; attending school
out of city 20; in Masonic school 5 (;
afflicted and not able to attend school
40: total 534. This report shows that
only FIVE are missing. A similar ac-
count will be made of the colored
pupils.

Resolutions Adopted By the
Paris Bar Association.

Whereas, the members of the Bour-
bon Bar, contrary TO the custom In
other places, have for many years CIV
en- counsel and advice TO persons able
to pay therefor, without charge, and
Whereas, such knowledge of the law
as is required to give prudent and
trustworthy legal advice, requires
years of time. attention and study, and
Whereas, legal advice is valuable to
business man. and enables him to
proceed with caution and intelligence,
and to know and to enforce his rights,
and TO avoid useless and expensive liti-
cation, and
Whereas, the time required to ur.der-
stand all the facts OF any particular
case with sufficient clearness to give a
safe opinion as to the legal rights of
those interested. is, like the business
man, worth something to the lawyer.
Now, in justice to ourselves, we,
the members of the Bourbon Bar,
unanimously resolve that it is not only
the Individual right of each, but each
owes it to himself, and to the other
members of the bar, to observe the
custom in the legal profession of
charging for advice, and
We further resolve that hereafter
we will give no opinion or advice, ex-
cept after careful and thorough con-
sideration of the facts and the law ap-
plicable thereto, for which reason
able fee shall be charged
We further resolve to publish these
resolutions in the Paris newspapers in
order that no man hereafter be led to
seek legal advice of US, unless he re-
ally needs legal advice and is willing
to pay therefore.

Flies, are one of the most aggravat-
fng pests we have on the farm. If
we give them a breathing spell the
poor cows, calves and horses have to
suffer and the supply of milk will run
short. 1t is either fight or lose" 1t
Is not sufficient to just spray the ami
mails with a fy-repelling mixture in
the morning and then turn them out to
pasture
A few hours later, when l go to look
after them in the pasture, they are
often covered with blood-sucking flies
again, so take a hand-sprayer loaded
with liquid of which kerosene forms
large portion along and spray this
light upon the flies on each animal.
The cows soon learn that spraying
means relief and they will hold still
while you spray. The flies quickly let
go of their hold and fall to the ground
when the kerosene touches them. Wis
itins the animals once or twice a day
in this manner is a great help to them
during the fly season.-L. R. Johnson,
Illinois.

UNIQUE ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK.
Remarkable Mechanism Shows All
the Movements OF the Earth.

mecnHn1SIn SHOWS All
the Movements OF the Earth.
All the movements of the earth are
represented by a remarkable astronom-
ical clock which yesterday was placed
on public view at the American Muse
um of Natural History, says the New
York Herald. 1t was designed by Dr..
Herman c. Bumpus, the director of
the institution. and is the result of
months of patient experiment.
It not only shows the daily rotation
of the earth upon its axis, but the mo-
tion about the sun, and also demon
strates through all the year the changes
which cause the march of the seasons.
The earth is globe of paper COM
position four feet in diameter, while
the sun is a stereopticon placed at a
distance Of ten feet The light from
the stereopticon shines upon the sphere
in such a manner as to illuminate half
of it at time. The shadow Of q wire
which is back of the lens corresponds
to the meridian of New York
The earth is caused to revolve by
means Of a shaft which derives its
power from a small Howard steeple
clock. This shaft passes through a
wooden tunnel and communicates its
power to bevel gears, which cause the
sphere to be always changing it's poise.
BY watching the meridian shadow
the observer can always tell the time
of day with mathematical accuracy.
No device of its kind has ever been
exhibited in a museum for the instruc-
tion of the public, and this astronom-'
ical clock rivals in it's accuracy and in
the painstaking way in which it is cou-
structed the most delicate instruments
to be seen in well-equipped' obserya-
tories The contrivance was construct
ed by w. II. Beers, an expert mechan.
ician connected with the museum.
1t was the original intention to have
merely a globe showing the one motion
of the earth, but as the scheme devel-
oped through experiments the present
elaborate clock was gradually per.
fected.
On the ground floor of the museum is
another device showing the revolution
of the earth about the sun on a larger
scale. The orbit swings through the
entrance hall and over the information
bureau and into the hall of forestry.
while in the center of the foyer the sun
shines for all.

DESTROYING Weeds.

In destroying annual weeds one
method is to disk the stubbe fields,
causing the weed seed to germinate.
after which they can be killed by sub
sequent cultivation or by frost. Anoth-
er method is to turn live stock. espe.
cially sheep into these stubble fields t.
eat up the weeds and weed seeds. The
value of cultivated crops, rotations and
summer fallows is also discussed.
The eradication of perennials is more
difficult than in the case of ANNALS.
For these they tried smother crops.
bare fallow, chemicals and tar paper.
For small areas Of quack grass. cover
ing with tar paper was found effective.
Dut was too costly for field applica-
ton. As quack grass is similar to Ber-
muda grass in its habit of spreading,
and 1t equally persistent, this method
may be Of interest to those who Wish
to kill small areas Of Bermuda.

weight Of some kind at the end of the
wires and the thing is done. This ar
rangement also saves the trouble of
putting on hangers as it answers the
same purpose. Two wires to each length
OF boards, about two feet from the
ends, and as many sections as may be
needed for the length of stack, putting
the middle section ON last with the
ends tapping over the next one, Is all
the material that is needed. In using
the hay a section of this cover may be
taken off by drawing out the staples
and the stack cut down so as to leave
boards can be used over and over again
for number of years.

A Help in Fruit Picking,

In commercial orcharding it is gen-i
orally most economical to have pick
ing and packing work going on concur
rently. This saves putting the apples
on the ground and having to handle
them again. A portable sorting table
upon which pickers can empty their
bags is placed on low truck wheels and
single horse can move it to any de-
sired point as the work proceeds. 1t
should be made large enough to hold
not less than two barrels of fruit.
The rear bolster is higher than that
at the open end, so that the culls can
be rolled out. A long, heavy plank is
placed on the ground on each side of
this table on which the barrels are set
for filling. The culls are allowed to
roll into a pile from the lower end of
the grading table.

nation of the method. In Syria and
Palestine, with practically no rain
from April to October, the fields in
July have flourishing abundance of
watermelons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
other products, and plants continue
green and thriving until autumn. The
secret lies in so plowing that the win
ter rains are absorbed and retained In
the subsoil. The plowing is shallow,
averaging only 4 to 6 inches In depth,

To-day they are seasoned seamen, full

set an example that will inevitably be
of much good to the navy, says the

Even with extensive advertising and
the establishment of recruiting stations
in all sections of the country, there
were not enough men coming in. This
voyage has stimulated the necessary in

Jack ashore has put the prophets t.
shame and the temptations he has had
to combat have been great. At every
port of call, Admiral Evans allowed
great numbers Of the men shore leave,
but they were given to understand that
the continuation Of such favors depend
ed on their behavior. They were told,
too, that to a certain extent the honor
of their country was in their keeping.
Patrols were sent ashore to watch the
men and the result of all this was that
Jack had very good time and enjoyed
the hospitality extended him without
abusing it and getting himself in trou.
