Natural Gas For Paris

Work on the construction of the
natural gas line from Pine Grove
to Paris is progressing nicely, and
within the next week the mains
will be completed and extended
into the city.
The gas mains were completed
to the curve on the Clintonville
pike, near Bedford Station, early
this week, when the work
was temporarily halted at the
crossing of the L. & N. railroad,
where the course of the Clinton
vile pike is changed. The gas
has been turned into the new
mains to test the line and the
results were entirely satisfactory
to the men in charge of the work.
While no definite arrangement
has been made as to the hand
ling of the gas in Paris, it is said
that satisfactory understanding
has been reached whereby the
Paris Gas & Electric Company
will act as the distributing agents
for the Central Kentucky Natural
Gas Company, and that the pres
ent mains of the local gas COM
pany will be continued in use.
Barring any unforeseen acct
dents, it is reasonably certain that
the Central Kentucky Natural
Gas Company will have its entire
line completed and be in a posi-
ton to serve the consumers of
Paris with cheap fuel and illum-
mating gas not later than the last
of August. Paris Citizen.

Burglars Use Chloroform at
Carlisle

Burglaries in Carlisle, which
have been very frequent in the
last three weeks, have reached
the chloroforming stage. The
residence of John F. Sugg, clerk
of the Nicholas County Court, was
entered and Mr.. Sugg was chloro-
formed by the burglar. Not be-
ing completely under the influence
of the chloroform, Mr.. Sugg awoke
and feebly called his brother,
frightening the intruder away.
Burglars also attempted to en-
ter the residence of Harry King, a
prominent hardware. merchant,
and the residence of Charles Lin
vile, a farmer, near Carlisle. In
all, about fifteen residences have
been entered and various amounts
of cash stolen. Paris Citizen.

the recent primary. He was de-
feated for Representative by ]. F.
White, but made a most creditable
race. The margin between the
two was SO close that the result
was in doubt for sometime, but
the final count settled the doubt
in Mr.. Whites favor. 1t is said
that Mr.. White is a good politi-

fact nothing that can in any way
reflect on a first class, well con-
Quoted, educational, attractive and
real entertainment enterprise.
The policy of the management is
to be entertainers of the public
and not part and parcel of a bunch
of grafters.
The show this season is the finest
and best ever devised by this well
known and liberal firm of man
ayers. Many new wild beast sub

100 In the Shade

One, hundred in the shade days
are here. Are you ready to enjoy
them, or will you Swelter and
Suffer. When you get home
from hard days grind at the
store, office or factory, you don't
feel like working a palm leaf fan
to keep cool, neither do you want
to Swelter. Then how many
nights have you gone to bed but
NOT to sleep, SO hot you couldn't
sleep. An electric fan at about
lc per hour going at slow speed
will keep you cool before you go
to sleep and then make sleep
possible. comfort and sound
sleep are worth anything to you,
they surely are worth the price of
the small amount of electric cur
rent that an electric fan will use.
Of course, an electric fan won't
work in a house that isn't wired,
so call on us or anybody who
does wiring and get ready to
REALLY ENJOY the hot days
and nights that are here. Inves-
tigate our prices on fans. The
manufacturers stock is getting
low, so get busy.

Latest reports from the Canal
Zone announce that as the result
of the prospective substitution of
dredges for steam shovels in the
excavation of the famous Culebra
cut, the canal may be ready for
shipping by next December. Even
earlier than that, light draft yes
sells are likely to be passing
through the waterway, for as the
greater part of the canal prism al
ready has been cut to its final
depths, small vessels probably
can navigate it safely within a
few days after October 10 next,

blown up, thus admitting to the
Culebra level the great, store of

ALL-AMERIcAN FOOTBALL TEAM.

the past season called for severe criti-
cism. Time and time again would the
chances OF their respective teams be
jeopardized by some abominable pass by
one Of the center men This was more
true in the case OF some of the larger
teams than the smaller ones. To Offset
this the work Of the pivot men on de-
tense when they would be allowed to play
rowing game, their work stood out
very prominent and called for much
praise.
Eetcham Gets a Place.
Ketcham. of Yale. the greatest of the
rowing style pivot man IN the country
today. is given the preference over his
closest rivals. Although not playing the
position all during the season, he shines
so brightly over the other stars In this
position that he could go in and outplay
any one else who might be picked by a
large margin.
Ketcham's wonderful speed in cover
ing kicks is another qualification that
would add considerable to his team
strength. His ability to put his team
mates together at critical stages OF a
game, as well as his offensive game,
would no doubt tell in any contest.
Des Jardine. OF Chicago. one Of the
greatest centers that the West has ever
produced, would prove a close rival 10
the New Haven captain. His passing
was more consistent, but on defense he
did not show the ability Of his rival
Carlow, of Carlisle: Simpson, of Penn
syIvania; Patterson, OF Michigan; Trum-
bull, of Harvard; Z. Trenckman. OF
Princeton; Powell, Of Wisconsin; Nc
Evan. of West Point: Peterson, Of Col
gate, and Cruikshank, OF Washington and
Jefferson, are all center men that would
shine on any squad.
At quarter back the material for all
American honors is exceptional The gen.
eralship and aIl-around ability Of the men
occupying this position during the last
season was one Of the most pleasing fac
tors in a season that will long be re-
membered by its many reversals of
form. More credit is due these players
for the quality OF ball played by their
team than to any other issue.
In this new style game, where the
ability TO size up an opposing eleven In
the early stages of a contest and hurl an
attack at them in such a manner that
their defense spreads out to such de-
gree that a forward pass can be resorted
to without any appreciable danger. Is a
requirement in which Western quarters
excel

6e,d man he was sent at the last moment
10 the extremity OF his rush line to add
much needed strength and has covered
himself with a great amount Of glory
by the way he performed. He did not
play the position long enough to be con-
sidered as an All-American candidate.
Tackles Hard DO select.
At the tackle an unusual number of
players must be taken under consider
alton before a selection can be made.
More strength was shown at this position
during the past season than II has been
the good fortune OF the game to ex-
perience in a great many years.
Pontius, of Michigan. Is a player who
embodies all Of the requirements OF an
ideal tackle, possessing remarkable
strength and ability he proved to be one
of the most difficult men for opponents
To concentrate their attack upon. He
was not one OF those stationary tackles
whom a quarter delights in finding in an
opposing rush line. but he was constantly
changing his position and would never
play the same any two times during a
game. Standing six feet in height and
built In proportion he was enabled to
play a standing up" game and was
never buried by making the initial charge
In two low a position. HIS use OF his
hands on defense was one Of his best
qualities.
Ballin. of Princeton. as playing mate
would leave the defensive strength OF
the eleven unquestionable. BALM is a
Hercules in size, has a wonderfully quick
charge, and carries his efforts through at
all times. The remarkable defense shown
by the Tigers under the shadow Of their
own goal posts was due TO a great ex-
tent to the almost superhuman efforts
of Ballin. In speed and aggressiveness
he would prove a leader on any aggrega-
ton in the country today. Time and
time again, when his ends would be
spilled by the opposing backs going down
under kicks. he broke through and sped
down the field and made the tackle al
most as soon as the ball was caught. In
opening holes for his backs he was with
out unequal.
Closely contesting the positions with
these two sensational players are storer.
Of Harvard; Butler. of Wisconsin; Talbot.
OF Yale, and Abell Of Colgate.
Storer and Butler. all-American selec-
tons for last year, did not put the same
amount OF effort into their game as they
were capable OF doing. Storer probably
was handicapped to great degree by
the responsibility Of being captain. and
also of being switched about during the
season. He is an exceptional man and
deserves a great amount OF credit But
