SUCCESS OF PARK
MOVEMENT RESTS
WITH CITIZENS OF
PARIS;MUCH TALK
Location Near Atkins-Porter
School, Which is Ideal Spot,
Favored by Some.--MineraI
Wells Is Also Suggested
Everybody Agrees That Park
lsNeeded; Plans Discussed.

With the people of Paris rests
the question of whether or not
the city shall have park, with
seats and electric lights.
Since The Partisan called at
tention to the need of park
some weeks ago, the citizens
have become interested in the
movement and for several DAYS
there has been much discussion
of the proposed park and its
location. Numerous places and
plans have been discussed, but
as yet nothing has been done.
And in the meantime, summer
is passing slowly, but
passing, and if anything is to
be done it should be done at once
in order that the people of Paris
may have an opportunity to en-
joy the advantages afforded by a
park during the hot summer
months.
Some believe that the city
should purchase a desirable site
for a park at once, while others
believe that it would be best for
some public spirited citizens to
form stock company, purchase
a site, fix it up for park purposes
and lease to the city. Those who
favor the latter plan say that
within few years the city
could acquire the property by
purchase. Another plan is to
purchase and fix up a park by
public subscription.
AS a rule the public would be
pleased with either of the three
plans. being more interested in
having the park open as early as
possible.
One of the locations being dis
cussed for the proposed park is
near the Atkins-Porter school
building. Part of this property
is in woodland and there are
three fine springs on it. The
location is ideal. In fact, this
spot was made a park by nature
and merely needs fixing up to
make it one of the most beauti-
full places in West Tennessee.
This property could probably be
purchased at a reasonable figure.
Another location suggested is
at the Paris Mineral Wells, South
of Paris, near the plant of the
AGO Manufacturing Co. 1t is
pointed out that the fine mineral
water available would be an ad-
ditional reason for locating the
park here. Should it be decided
to locate the park at the Mineral
Wells, it is probable that a
"jitney" automobile line would
be put in operation between the
down town section and the park.
Regardless of where the park
may be located, there is much
sentiment in favor of establish
ing one somewhere about Paris
and doing it at once.

New York, Nov 2l.-Within the
last six months Japanese merchants
and exporters have invested nearly
$50,000,000 in American securities, &C.
cording to estimates in banking quar-
tiers. For the most part the securities
were bonds, largely underlying rail
road issues, although substantial
part consisted of mortgage bonds Of
industrial companies returning high
yield on the purchase price.
These investments are believed to
be the outgrowth OF the shifts Of COM
merce directly traceable to the Euro
pean war. Japan has been shipping
to the United States, great amount
of goods formerly manufactured by
Germany and at the same time ex-
ports OF silks and other far eastern
products from Japan to this country
have been stimulated because Of the
reduction in the European demand.
AS a consequence, Japan's trade bal
ance in this country has been growing,

HUNDREDS PERISH
IN RUSSIAN HARBOR
Over Thousand Persons Killed
and Injured by Great Explo-
sion Near Archangel.
TWENTY STEAMERS AFIRE

Petrograd, Nov 2l-(Via London)
1t is announced officially that BAL
persons have been killed and 667
wounded in an explosion at Baka-
rita.
The statement follows:
According to supplementary in
formation the number OF persons
killed by the explosion at Bakaritza
was found after clearing the debris
to be 3l4, while the number of per-
sons injured, according to reports
received from hospitals, amounts to
forty-nine officers and officials, 437
soldiers, l3l civilions and twenty
FIVE women. OF the crews of British
merchant ships, twenty-seven were
killed and twenty-five injured.
THE large number of victims is
explained by the fact that the explo-
sion occurred during the dinner hour
when the men were resting in huts
wrecked by the explosion
Two Vessels Destroyed.
London, Nov. ala Reuters dis
patch from Petrograd says it is au-
thoritatively announced that only
two vessels we're destroyed in the re-
cent explosion in the Harbor of Ba-
karitza, near Archangel. These were
the British steamer Baron Driesen
and the British coal steamer Sarl OF
Forfar, moored beside the Baron
Driesen. Russian authorities make a
categorical denial of the German re-
port that seven munition laden ships
were destroyed, and the Russian ad-
miralty declares that the German re-
port, attributing the first explosion
on board the Baron Driesen to sub
marine is absurd, adding that Ger
man submarines cannot possibly pene.
trate to Bakaritza harbor. ..
The Overseas News agency, in a
dispatch from Berlin on November H.
reported an Archangel newspaper as
stating that seven ammunition steam
ers had been blown up in the harbor
OF Archangel. Later the same agency
gave out reports from Stockholm that
the explosion originated in the tor
pedoing of steamer by submarine
in Archangel harbor.
Twenty Steamers Afre.
Berlin, Nov. Fl, (by wireless to Say
yille.)-Reports erceived from Swe-
dish sources state that at least twenty
steamers caught fire in the recent
series Of explosions near Archangel
and were forced to stay in the harbor

seas News agency. According to
these reports it is estimated that am
munition, valued at 80000,0O0 rubles,
10000 bales of cotton, belonging to
the Moscow Association of Cotton
Mills, and 100000 rubles worth OF
rubber were burned. A new auto
mobile train for Petrograd and Mos
COW is reported to have been partly
destroyed.
From the same sources il is stated
that Admiral Grigorovich, the Rus
sian minister OF marine, was imme-
diately summoned TO headquarters BY
the emperor.
General Chouvaieff, the Russian
minister of war, is quoted as charac-
terizing the explosion as "one of Rus

SOIL EXPERT TO
TALK AT CARTHAGE
Doctor Hopkins viii be There on
June 16 to Make an
Address.

The plans of the Hancock County
Soil Improvement association to hold
a big meeting at the experiment sta
ton field on June 10th. are now fully
matured and it Is certain that Doctor
Hopkins, famous soil expert, will be
in Carthage on that date. In case of
rain, the lecture will be held indoors.
The farmers of Hancock county
should all be greatly Interested in
learning the results which have been
obtained on this field during the five
years for which records have been
kept.
The experiments were started with
the seeding of wheat in the fall Of
1910. after the land had been decided
to the university by some of the citi-
zens of Hancock county. About $40
subscriptions, totaling about $4,000
were donted by individuals in all
parts of the county. 1t was thought
at that time that the experiment sta
ten would publish the results obtain

ed each year and that these would be
of great interest and benefit to those
engaged in actual farming. 1t was
not found practical however, to give
out results of the experiments before
taking time to verify the various
findings. 1t is always unsafe to quote
from results obtained from a single
experiment and for that reason the
authorities preferred to secure figures
for several years before attempting
to draw conclusions.
There is now enough data on hand
to Justify Doctor Hopkins in appear
ing before the people and explaining
the results which have been obtained
upon the experiment farm. These re-
suits include the records OF production
for wheat, corn, oats. clover and al
falfa grown under different methods
of treatment. Manure, crop residues,
limestone, phosphorus and potassium
have all been used and check plots
left to show results.
Actual yields returned have been
accurately measured and In some
cases indications of these yields can
be observed in the growing crops.
The time Of the meeting will be 1870
p. M, when F,ootor Hopkins sriu Give
a brief explanation of the plan Of the
experiments followed by an inspec-
ton OF the field After that he will
give a detailed report Of the re-
suits secured in previous years, then
there will be time for questions and
further discussion in regard to the
work and the application Of the In
formation secured to the practical and
profitable improvement of farm lands.
