Suffer From Timidity.
Our own commerce his suffered,
is suffering rather in apprehension
than in fact, rather because so many
of our ships are timidly keeping tu
their home ports than because Amer!-

1.-TWO American vessels have been
sunk, the Housatonic and the Lyman

which was carrying foodstuffs coll
signed to a London firm, was essen
TALLY like the case of the Frye, III
which it VIII be recalled the German
government admitted its liability for
damages and the lives Of the crew as
in the case CT the Frye were safe
guarded with reasonable care.
''The case OF the Law, which was
carrying lemon box slaves to Paler-

method which deserve grave con-
demnation, but was accompanied by
no circumstances which might not

against merchantmen as the German
government has used it.
IN sum, therefore, the situation We
find ourselves in regard to the actual
conduct of the German submarine
warfare against commerce and its et-

STORES TO CLOSE.

By agreement among the mer-

movement which was started by THE

certainty, and from now on to and
possibly later than the fifteenth of
September the stores will be closed at
five o'clock, giving the workers a
much-needed rest.
The rule has been adopted by cloth
iers, jewelers., dry goods stores, shoe
dealers, and nearly all lines of bus.

cessity compelled to remain open fol-
the accommodation of the public.
These stores will be open at the usual
hours on Saturday.
1t is surely a good move, one that
has been a long time on the way, but
none less welcome. Paris people will
do their shopping earlier in the day,
hereafterAand bring the blessings OF
the workers on their heads thereby.

THE ARMY Y. M. C. A.

A patriotic mass meeting will be
held at the court house in Paris next
Sunday afternoon, July Is, at three
O'Clock, for the purpose of raising
$4,000 for the army Y. NJ. C. A.
work.
The sum of 100000 has been
called for in America for the pur-
pose of assisting in the Y. NJ. C. A.
work in the army camps, hospital I:
and in field service. Of this amount
Kentucky has been allotted $4,000,
Paris and Bourbon county people
have never failed to do their duty
and it is safe to say this $4,000 or
more will be raised at this meeting
Rev. DR.. w. A. Garfield, Presi-
dent of Centre College, Danville,
will be the principal speaker of the
meeting. He will explain the needs
of the Y. NJ. c. A. army work. The
Paris Military Band will furnish mu-
sic for the occasion.
The $4,000 allotted to Paris and
Bourbon county will only provide the
actual cost for "our boys" Every
one is urged to give freely and a.
literally as their means will permit
so that 'our boys" can come back
clean-handed and clean-minded.
The Army Y. NJ. c. A. is the
answer of the religious and moral
forces of the nation to the soldiers
need. With the skill of the expert
and backed by years of experience it:
plans of work have been shaped tC
fit into the gaps in the lives of tbs
men in arms. Based on the prin
ciple of substitution it seeks to driv;
+ out evil practices by wholesale recre
alton, to offset leveling tendencies b!
high ideals and to give to ever

NEW OIL COMPANY FOR PARIS

A new oil company known as The
Bourbon Oil and Development Com
pany has been incorporated and Is
opening Offices in this city. The COM
pany has acquired about 5000 acre
of valuable leases in proven oil ter
ritory in the State and will begin
drilling operations at an early date.
The organization of their company
has created considerable interest in
the wonderful developments now
taking place in various counties. 1t
is hoped that Paris, like Lexington
and Winchester, will soon become a
center from which large oil opera
tions shall be conducted. Every cit
izen of Bourbon county should be
come familiar with and encourage
the location of many corporations OF
this character.

LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE TO RE
SUME PAY CAR.

The pay-car, which has been a.
time-honored institution on the Lou
isville &, Nashville road, and which
was discontinued some months ago, is
to be put in service again on the
road.
The pay-car will make its first
visit to Paris to-day under the restor-
ed order of things. The employe;
will be paid by checks, as hereto
fore, but they will be required to
come to the pay-car and sign the
payroll, as before.
The action of the company in re-
Installing the pay-car is due to the
fact that INSCRIPTIONS employees Of
the company have secured pay
checks belonging to others and by
endorsing them, have secured the
money on them by presenting the
checks at banks in other places. L
is asserted that one employe secured
quite a large sum in this manner
In order to do away with this danger
against which there was apparently
no remedy, the employees will now
have to visit the pay-car and have
themselves properly identified be
| fore they can receive their checks.
The pay-car will visit all points
regularly twice month, under tn
provisions of the new law regardin
semi-monthly pay days.

CANNING DEMONSTRATION

All can can who can" but it takes
real live demonstration to show
them how to canLproperly and effici-
entity.
This Mrs Fanniebelle Sutherland,
of Paris, successfully did before a
crowd of interested women at the l.
NJ. c. A, Wednesday, when she eX-
planned the system of canning, which
has been adopted by the government.
She was ably assisted by Miss Lowry
of Nicholasville, and the University
of Kentucky, and Miss Mary Fithian
Hutchcraft, of Paris, County Agent
of Canning Clubs. Mrs. Sutherland
had taken a course of this work in
Lexington, and was fully prepared
and equipped to explain the work
ing of the canning system in all it
varied details The work consists OF
a course in canning and drying
fruits and vegetables.

WAITING FOR THE CALL.

Everything is in readiness in
the selective service army. The ex-
emption board has about caught up
with it's work, and the young men Of
the county between the ages of TWEEN
ty-one and thirty-one are awaiting
their notice to prepare to leave for
the cantonment sites to report for
duty.
There has been much anxiety and
concern among the Paris and Bour-
bon county boys as to when they will
be called to the colors, and while
nothing definite is yet known, 1T Is
limited that it will be very soon, pos
sibly by the last of August.
While President Wilson will not
personally attend to the drawing Of
the numbers that will send the boys
to the firing lines in Europe, the
work will be done by one of the high
officials of the Government. After q
conference with the President, Sec
rotary of War Baker announced that
possibly he himself might do the
work. At any rate the one who
does the work will be thoroughly
responsible person, high up in the
councils of the Government. The
Secretary announced that the method
to be used has not yet been fully de-
cided upon, and it is not yet ready to
be announced. He also said that the
date for the drawing is not yet
known. Some of the officials at
Washington were of the opinion that
it would be called for the last of this
week.
To clear up any misunderstanding
Provost General Crowder has issued
statement explaining that unde-
the provisions of the draft law, a
claim for exemption may be filed noS
only by the registered person himself.
but by members of his family or any
third party with knowledge of the
facts in his case.
