ICE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
is PLANNING BIG IMPROVEMENT.

To meet the demand made upon
it for ice during the summer months
the Paris Ice Manufacturing Co. is
planning a big Improvement in it's
plant in this city which will increase
the output about thirty tons a day.
The present season has been unus-
ually heavy and the capacity of the
present plant has been taxed to it's
capacity to supply the demand made
for the product. Several neighboring
towns having contracts win the local
company have had the supply reduced
to almost half and it has been diff
cult matter all during the summer to
meet this demand, although much ice
has been purchased from Lexington,
Louisville nd Danville.
1t is the plan of the company to
erect an addition to the present plant
and equip it with the most modern
machinery used in ice manufacture.
This addition with a daily output of
thirty tons coupled with capacity of
the combined plnts to almost two
hundred tons daily.
The management has let contract
| to Mr.. G. e. Cox, of Cynthiana, to
drill an artesian we'll with view OF
striking a good flow of water to be
used in the manufacture of ice and he
will begin work within few days.
The report that the Paris concern
was contemplating the erection of a
plant in Carlisle according to Manager
P. Nippert, ST., is without foundation
The company is said to have the mat
ter under consideration the installa
| Of h11t
in that city the fact the water supply
was very limited and that efforts tC
sink artesian wells had proved very
unsuccessful, the project was aban
doned
Work upon the addition to the loca
plant will begin as soon as strong
vein of water is struck and will be
rushed to completion and the company
hopes to have the entire equipment il
operation next spring.

FRUIT CANNING MAY BECOME
PROFITABLE IN MOUNTAIN

Canned fruit may become the typ
ical product of the Kentucky mount
aims if a movement set on foot by the
church people and mountain evangel-
lists and approved by the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture meets with the
success anticipated.
Markets are not accessible for the
mountain fruits, which grow in abun-
dane and in great variety. Conse-
quently, much of it goes to waste, and
in times past more of it has been con-
verted into brandy. Next year. it is
proposed to make a thorough canvass
of the mountain country in the inter-
est of the girls canning clubs Com
missioner Newman said he intends
touring portions of Eastern Kentucky
this fall after the. State Fair, and Mrs.
Helen WOlcot, who is in charge of the
canning club work and has spoken at
Institutes in that section, will prob
ably go along.
The Rev. George Smith Watson, of
Mt. Vernon, and the Rev. William B.
Bayers, of Hyden, Presbyterian minis
tiers, called to ask Prof. Newman to
send form experts to their counties.
Mr. BayerS has taken a particular in
terest in fruit culture. He wanted a
cannery started up there, but when
the cannin g club proposition was
preached to him he secured a list of
approved canning outfits and said he
would undertake to introduce the club
work himself on small scale to start
the movement.
Mr.. Watson, in addition to his minis
terial duties, has voluntarily assumed
the function of consulting farm eX-
! pert. After going into the fields he
saw the needs and the opportunity
and fitted himself to cope with the
economical as we'll as the spiritual sit
uation by taking a course in agricul-
ture. He has been stationed in Rock
castle county, but will in the fuure be
at Bonneville. Both men said the can
ming club is especially adapted to the
needs of the mountain people, as
they raise frui in abundance, but find
it impossible to market the fresh
crop.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS:
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Every woman believes that bache-
lors are men who have been disap-
pointed in love. And married men
haven't nerve enough to tell them
otherwise.
If there is a fire around the corner
and a woman sees a crowd running
toward her, she just happens to re-
member that she forgot to wear a pet
ticoat under her thin dress.
l hate to knock the women, but there
should be stag cars on every street
car route A car on which nothing
but men could ride could be run on a
schedule fifteen minutes faster than a
car that has to stall around every
square and wit until woman makes
up her mind what she is going to do.
Every bald-headed man is tempted to
raise a beard just to show that he can
grow hair.
What has become of the old-fashion-
ed girl who used an old stocking for a
rat?
Daughter has to play tennis for ex-
ercise But mother gets hers with a
stout broom and a roll of carpet.
Every now and then you meet a
man who reminds you of the holes in
Swiss cheese.
Every baby resembles the relative
who has the most money.
If man doesn't want his wife to do
thing he should tell her to go ahead
and do it, and she won't do it, just to
be contrary.
1t has just about gotten so in this
country that woman can't even shoot
her own husband without having the
nosey police butt in.
Any time n-lends girl help
ing hand he wants her to hold it for a
while.
There never was man who loved a
girl so passionately that she could af-
ford to go around the house with both
her complexion and her hair laid aside.
The stout girls who have something
to show seem to buy their waists three
sizes too small And the fat-chested
girls seem to get their WAISTS three
sizes too large.

chine west in East Broad street to
return home On the city side of
Alum Creek the Norfolk and Western
track crosses East Broad street on
grade crossing.
Borders, who was driving, stopped
for a passing train. AS the gates were
raised he attempted to start his car
The machine is a self-starter. AS he
took hold it appears that he in some
manner threw the reverse lever.
"In a second the machine was back
ing rapidly toward the bridge. With
crash it went through the iron rail-
ing and turned over, pinning the occu-
pants beneath. A lighted match COM
pleted the wreck.
Friends tonight ascribed the acct
dent to a possible attack of heart dis
ease which came on Mr.. Borders as he
sat in the machine a few minutes be-
fore the wreck. They said that he
was subject to attacks of heart trouble
and believe that a possible seizure was
off the reverse leaver.
1.-TWO men were seriously burned
while they were doing rescue work
/ They are Warren Hill and Frank A.
McElroy, of SIS East Town street

the heads and face while trying to

THE Inflated party boarded at the
home of Mrs. ]. M. Durham. A tragic
feature in connection with the accident
was the fact that a few minutes after
the party left her place, Mrs. Dun

dent. She stopped and witnessed the
removal of the bodies, but never asked
any questions, and it was not until she
returned to her home, two hours later
that she learned fthe fatalities. She

A very unusual trial was held before
Squire L. j. Fretwell in the county
court yesterday afternoon, resulting in
Tom Liter negro of Ruckerville being

witness against Liter was Tom West,
"a colored gentleman minus one arm,

Of a dance hall in Ruckerville.
West, according to his statement,
would have been satisfied to have had
his clothing, consisting of a pair of
pants, cap, coat, shoes and socks, and
$3.50 in change returned, would not
have prosecuted the case, but all of his
belongings he secured was the cap,
which he found Liter wearing, and
took it away from him.
The robbery took place Saturday
night in Ruckerville. West told the
story that he had gone out of the
dance hall and suffering from the
effects of the turkey tro, tango, griz-
zley, bunny hug or something else,
sat down on bench and was soon in
Sunderland. When he awoke he had
been stripped of the last vestige of
clothing and a niger" who he alleg-
ed was Liter was making off in the
darkness. He gave the alarm and sew.

capped. West made his way home in

NATURAL GAS LINE TO
PARIS ABOUT COMPLETED.

With only small section of the nat
ural gas line extending from this city
TO Pine Grove remaining to be COM
pleted work has been temporarily
suspended. That part of the main I'M
finished is near Bedford Station, a
short distance from the city where a
change in the grade of the Louisville
e Nashville railroad has made it i'm
possible to proceed. Gas. has been
turned into the mains to fest the line
and the result proved highly satisfac-
tory to thocse in charge of the work.
1t is reported that the Central Ken
ncky Natural Gas Co. has mad ar
rangemens with the Paris Gas & Elec-
trio Co. to act as distributing agent in
this city, using the mains of the COM
pany for that purpose instead of in
curing the extra expense of laying
new mains throughout the city. The
report is to the effect that the Natural
Gas Co. will erect an Office on the
Clintonyille pike near the city limits
and will meter the gas to the local
company and the consumers in Paris
will purchase the supply from the lat
ter.
Mr.. G. L. Steenbergen, Superinten-
dent of the Paris Gas & Electric Co.,
returned Wednesday night from his
vacation, but stated he was not in po-
sition to give out aAy official informa-
ton in regard to the report, and will
not be able TO do so for several days.
1t has been learned from an official
source, however, that the Central
Kentucky Natural Gas Co. has submit
ted proposition to the local company
to furnish the natural gas at rate of
twenty-five cents per thousand feet.
Under the franchise granted by the
city the rate is thirty-five cents per
thousand feet to consumers.
Without any further obstacles it is
reasonably certain the entire line will
be completed and gas turned into this
city not later than the last of this
month.

CONSERVING OUR WATER
SUPPLY A QUESTION.

The conservation of Paris water
.,,nnlv should be a matter OF deep
concern to the citizens in general as
we'll as those who receive the most
saustantia. benefits from the watet O.
Stoner Creek. Uuless there is an
awakening to the present situation
there IN a great possibility that at
time not far distance the present sup
ply will be reduced beyond measure.
some time ago the News callei at
ten.ion to the Geplorable condition CT
ire mill dan OF the Paris Milling
Company, which retains the waters OF
Stoner Creek and furnishes the city
its supply both for domestic and COM
uercial use. 1t pointed to the fact
that the structure would only be able
to stand the strain for a few more
wears and since hat time-it has gone
down in repair until now there remains
nothing more than a shell. The dam
has stood the test for almost a GEN.
tury. which leaves no doubt of its in
adequacy at the present time.
Stoner Creek is the most beautiful
inland stream in the State of KENTUCKY.
lis beauty has caused comment from
4 visitors, coming from scores of cities
and towns in the State. Many of
our neighborink towns, did they pos
sess a stream of such value, would
find far greater use for its waters
than the people of Paris. Winchester
and Lexington would find it valuable
asset in securing enterprises.
Nature has given Paris something
that has become the envy of every
town in this section, but which is
held at little value. Something must
be done to conserve our water supply
and that without delay.
Previously we suggested that the
mill dam could be reconstructed of con
crete that would last for ages and al
a nominal cost compared with the
benefits to be derived from a safe
structure to retain a supply of water
for the city's use.
The matter has been investigated
and it is found that a concrete dam car
be built at a cost not to exceed $1,000
Thes ructure could be much higher
than the present one. which would in
crease the volume of water about the
plant of thisc ompany. The dam, as
i is understood is the property of this
company, which in no sense could be
of the venture. Let those who derive
the most beneficial results from the
stream lend a hand. There are 9th
ers: The Paris Water Company, the
Paris Manufacturing Co., the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. The city Of
Paris could afford to appropriate {
sum to assist in meeting the expense
along with the above mentioned.
The dam at present looks to be al
most in a state of collapse and it il
predicted the high waters of anothe
spring or summer will be sufficient t,
carry away the structure The DIR,
weather of the past several week
should be convincing evidence of tn
dire need of such an improvement t
make sure of our water supply an
the question is, who will make the in
itial move in this direction?
