NEW TOBACCO SALES
WAREHOUSE PROJECTED.

The success of the Bourbon To
bacco Warehouse Company last season
has inspired growers and dealers with
the idea that another warehouse for
handlin gthe crops would be equally
successful, hence the Paris Tobacco
Warehouse Company has been organ
lied, composed of Messrs. Dan Peed,
o. Edwards and George w. Ellis, of
Paris, and Mr.. Buford Allen, a wealthy
tobacco dealer of Fayette county.
The necessary $4,000 to start the
new enterprise has all been subscribed
and the company hopes to be ready
for business in the fall. The ware
house for the new company will be
located on South Main street, near the
plant of the Bourbon Tobacco Ware
house Company, the offices to be on
Main street and the warehouse proper
to front on Barns Addition. The
plant will be as near fire-proof as pos
sible, being built of steel. Ample
shed room will be provided for, and
the new building will have capacity
of about 100000 pounds day.
The matter of securing a permit to
build an iron-clad warehouse is before
the improvement Committee of the
City Council, objection having been
raised by several property holders in
the vicinity of the proposed site, and
report will be made at the next
meeting of the council.

PLAN STATE FEDERATION.

Kentuckians in Oklahoma will meet
in Oklahoma City July II to organize
the State Federation of Kentucky
Clubs. The call for the meeting has
been sent out by the officials of the
Oklahoma City Kentucky Club to the
$4,000 expatriate Kentuckians now liv-
ing in the Sooner" State.
The call, which is signed by ]. r.
Keaton, formerly of Grayson, KY,
president of the club in Oklahoma
City Mrs. E. G. Bedford, formerly
of Paris; vice-prasident; Scott Thomp-
son, formerly Of Lexington, treasu-
rer, and M. Cornelius, formerly Of
Rusellville, Sect, outlines the work
hoped to be done by State Fedora
ton.
1t is planned to build a Kentucky
home on the State Fair Grounds at
Oklahoma City, with logs imported
from Kentucky. The building is to
house at least 1000 persons. Besides
the idea of the federation is to keep
alive in the hearts and minds of the
Kentucky klahomans their interest
in their native State.
In the same letter with the call for
the organization of the federation is
a request for the names of all Ken
tuckians in the State, that the Ken

PARCEL POST STAMPS VALID
ON ALL MAIL AFTER JULY

Parcel post stamps will be valid on
all classes of mail on and after July 1
and ordinary stamps, including COM
memorative issues, will be good for
postage on parcel post packages, I'M
der an order issued by Postmaster
General Burleson.
AS the distinctive parcel post stamp
could heretofore be used only on one
class of mail matter much annoyance
was caused the public. Mr.. Burleson
explained that this stamp was de-
signed for use temporarily only, to de-
termine the amount of revenue de-
rived from the parcel post. This has
now been ascertained, he said, and
the department believes that the pub
lie should not be caused further incon-

SPILLWAY REMOVAL

Colonel c. p. b, Burgwyn's repor.
suggests number of possible means
and ways by which the city water
might become contaminated. and
points out ways by which that pos
sible contamination may be avoided.
There is at the head of the water

island. 1t Is about half mile in
length, and much less than that in
width. At the west end of this island
the waters of the James diverge. That
to the north goes into the channel
which leads into the coaGuiating basin.
That to the south of Williams island
goes down the river and on to the
sea
At times the waters OF the James

rush to the sea with any force. The
result is that the water on the south
side of williams island goes on toward

might be equalized with that in the
north side. He thought that a dam

DRESS SQUADS FOR MARKET
After Penetrating Brain With Sharp
Knife Bird 10 Allowed to Bleed
Thoroughly.

(By MICHAEL X. BOYER. New Jersey)
One-half dozen or more SQUAD are
hung on the rack at one time. The
wings of each are then locked. which
is done by drawing the wings closely
together in the back. allowing one
wing to overlap the other. 1t holds
them firmly and causes no pain.
The mouth of the squad is held open
with the thumb and first finger of the
left hand. the head and shoulders be-
ing held in the left hand. With knife
in the right hand the blade is inserted
through the crown of the head. pene-
trating the brain.
At once the operator releases his
grasp and allows the bird to bleed
thoroughly before starting to pluck the
feathers
BY the time about half a dozen of
the birds have been stabbed the first
killed has bled sufficiently to be ready
for picking. The SQUAD is then re-
moved from the rack and held in the
hands while plucking the feathers.
This method is said to be the most
rapid. it being found that from 100 to
$50 squad can thus be dressed in a
day by a good operator. ~.
Some pigeon men believe in holding
the bird while killing. but it has been
proven that birds held do not bleed so
thoroughly as when hanging. owing to
the fact that the hand more or less
congresses the fine veins. thus retard-
ing the flow Of blood.
When bird is not sufficiently bled
1t shows itself in blisters. These blis-
ters are red blotches that form on the
backs of the birds. and which develop
by the time the carcasses reach the
market.
Fresh water should be given twice
daily, but only the very best Of grain.
Avoid damaged stun.
Do not fail to bear in mind that the
profit is derived only from the mated
pairs.
