Aroused Much Enthusiasm.

The Chamber Of Commerce, at a meet
ing last night. aroused much enthusiasm
read from a special committee which had
been investigating the possibility Of get
ting a big hall and serving dinner to
about 1000 soldiers This committee had
found that the people Of Washington and
the men in service themselves were
strongly in favor of the home hospitality
idea The soldiers especially wanted the
opportunity to enjoy the home life they
were accustomed to on the holiday.
The chamber also found that it would
be impossible to get any caterer to serve
SO large number on that day in a style
the chamber would approve. There was
enthusiasm when the members of the
committee and scores of Individual mem
bers of the organization announced that
they would have the service men come to
their own homes and do all they possibly
could to make the day pleasant for them.
A resolution was passed calling upon all
the people Of Washington to invite the
soldiers, sailors and marines to their
homes
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-11-14

Everything that the business men Of
Washington can do to further the spirit
Of home hospitality for men in uniform

Enthusiastically in cooperation with the
efforts of The Star to have men in uni
form at every dinner table in Washing

The influence and active support of
the three civic organizations - the
Chamber OF Commerce. the Board of
been pledged. and already every bust
| ness man belonging to any Of these or
ganizations has extended an invitation
to at least two service men. AS the
Chamber of Commerce has more than
1900 members, the Board of Trade more
than 1000 members and the Retail Mer-
chants reach more than 200 active busi-
ness men these three organizations
alone guarantee that several thousand
soldiers, sailors and marines will be
invited to homes.
All three Of these trade bodies have
committees at work in cooperation
with The Star, and not only are the
members themselves voluntarily invit-
ing the service men to their homes, but
are using their influence to throw open
all the homes of the city to the men
who have answered the call To the
colors.
The Washington Board Of Trade on
Monday emphatically Endorsed the move
ment to have service men in every home
Thanksgiving day. The Retail Merchants
Association has already taken action, in
dorsing the plan. and committees are
now at work.
President E. C. Brandenburg Of the
Board Of Trade, who. himself. has a
son with the colors. brought the mat
ter before the large business and civic
body when he said: Let us all do

Other civic bodies will follow suit,

is any civic or commercial organization

BOURBON CIRCUIT COURT.

Probably the shortest session a
grand jury has ever held in the life
of the Bourbon Circuit Court was
concluded Tuesday, when the BODY
named for the present term, which
convened Monday, was dismissed by
Judge Robert L. Stout, after they
had presented their first and only
report.
1t will be an unlucky report for
some, as thirteen indictments were
returned, ten for felony cases and
three for misdemeanors. Six of the
defendants under the indictments re-
turned are now in the Paris jail.
The regular panel of petit jurors
was excused from further service, as
no cases had been assigned for i'm
mediate trial. Most of the members
of the jury were farmers, and their
presence was urgently needed at
home to carry on their work. Other
names will be drawn for juries to
try the cases when they are called
in court, which will probably be to-
day.

BOARD OF EDUCATION ADOPTS
RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolution was re-
Gently passed by the Board Of Edu-
cation:
The United States has assumed a
share in the grave burden of safe
guarding the rights and existence Of
self-ruling peoples.
All the vital forces and human as
sets of every neighborhood in this
broad land must be Immediately as
sembled and integrated In the war
machinery of the Nation. For this
community mobilization, meeting
places and administrative centers are
needed as never before.
By way of doing its "bit" in help
ing the Nation thus to gather itself
together, the Board of Education in
regular session has unanimously
Resolved, That from this date, and
for the period OF. the war, the pub
lie school building, class rooms, halls
and auditorium. when not in use for
regular instruction or other school
purposes, shall be at the service of all
official or voluntary agencies which
are organized to promote national
purposes.
These facilities may be used for all
legitimate and loyal purposes which
are not inimical to good order or
destructive of school property.

BLUEGRASS SEED
CROP Is GOOD
YIELD IN BOURBON GREATER
THAN ANTICIPATED = CONDr-
TONS SHOW IMPROVEMENT IN
PAST TEN DAYS.

Reports from the workers in the
bluegrass fields in Bourbon county
state that the yield this season win
be a little better than was antici-
pated. The condition Of the fields
has improved very materially In the
past week or ten days. Recent rains
have been very beneficial.
Stripping. which Is usually far ad-
vanced at this time of the year, was
begun this week, but the farmers are
now equipped with modern machin-
cry for harvesting the seed, and it
will not take long to gather the seed
when the weather and other condf-
tions are right.
The government is urging the deal
ers to use their influence to prevent
farmers from stripping the seed too
early next season. The seed should
ripen before being stripped so as to
guarantee maximum termination.
The seed in most of the fields this
year is low and hard to strip. In
some sections of the county the grass
is very good. while in others it Is
poorer than in past years.
A big crop of bluegrass seed used
to mean a large sum of money put
into circulation and the employment
of large number of laborers in the
county, but in recent years the
shortage of both seed and laborers
has changed conditions.

IS THE STOCK ORDINANCE
DEAD ONE?

The city ordinance passed at a
recent session of the Paris City
Council forbidding the driving Of
cattle and other stock through the
streets of Paris without the proper
number of men to guard them, and
keep them from straying to the
lawns of residences, is apparently
causing the stockmen no concern.
Several violations of the ordinance
have been reported to THE NEWS
recently, yet the stockmen send out
their stock recklessly, some with a
couple of little boys in attendance.

ing destruction in their wake.

being driven down Pleasant street,

The result was that the young hedge
fence at the home of Judge and Mrs.
H. Clay Howard was partly ruined
and the lawn damaged by the stray
ing stock. Judge Howard drove the
animals away, and tried to ascertain
the ownership of the stock from the
boys, but they would not divulge the
required information. But the dam
age had been done. almost irrepara-

Gle FORMED-OTHER BUSI-
NESS TRANSACTED.

The Jemima Johnson Chapter al
the d. A. r. met with Mrs. Thomas
Henry Clay, ST., on Wednesday af.
ternoon at her beautiful home on
Pleasant street.
Warm breezes and a smiling sky
were promised by the weather man.
and right Loyalty did he keep his
word.
Mrs. Clay was assisted in enter
tanning by her daughters, Mrs. Fred
erick A. Wallis, Mrs. Thos. Henry
Clay, Jr., Mrs. Geo. Williams Clay,
and by her sister, Miss Lou Williams.
The flower garden in the rear was
in its summer dress and was a de-
light to the eye. Stately lilies and
iris, Canterbury bells and fox glove,
daisies and gallardias, phlox and
coreopsis mingled in sweet profusion.
Sunken lily pools, arches covered
with pink and crimson remblers,
stone benches. pedestal having a
sundial, and a beautiful pergola adj
ded to the picture.
Mrs. Clay posses in a marked de-
gree the gracious, cordial bearing
that seems to be the birthright o.
Kentucky women, and has the happy
faculty of making each one of her
guests feel particularly welcome,
thus giving her hospitality an ad-
ded charm.
Mrs. w. G.. Talbot, the regent of
the Chapter, called the meeting to
order about 2:45 and the business of
the occasion was immediately taken
up. 1t was decided that the men,
bers should form a Red Cross Circle
and should sew on Monday in the
storeroom recently vacated by Mr.
VIM. Sauer. About twenty respond
ed to the call and agree to give the
entire day. This matter being dis
posed of, Mrs. Wallis brought up the
sore need of clothes for the little
war babies in France. She had cut
and arranged twenty-five night
gowns and twenty-five little cotton
sacques to be made and soon each
tiny garment was in the hands Of Z
willing-worker and needles and
thimbles were brought out in a
twinkling.
The ladies took the little clothes to
their homes to finish and promised
to return them to Mrs. Wallis the
last of the week.
After two hours work a beautiful
collation. was served, made up of pine
apple salad, tomato sandwiches, stuff
ed peppers, beaten biscuits, cheese
balls, water ices and candy.
AS the guests took their leave, a
last stroll through the beautiful gar
den was enjoyed, and a glass of
frappe added a finishing touch to an
ideal entertainment.

gazed out over this little corner OF
