KEEP YOUR CHICKENS
ON YOUR PREMISES

III the frequent complaints that have
been coming to the police of Paris re
garding chickens running at large on
the streets are acted upon, it may be-
come necessary for them to issue such
an order as above. Once upon a time
the city of Millersburg was torn from
center to circumference over the
question of whether or not chickens
should be allowed to run at large on
the streets, meaning of course, feather
ed chickens, not the ones from the city
or the female college.
We do not know if there is an ordi-
nance prohibiting owners from allow
ing their poultry running on the streets
or getting the range of their neighbors'
yards, but il is a fact that the COM
plants have been frequent in regard
20 the destruction of property by
chickens wandering from their own
domains and poaching on neighborinG
territory These complaints are apt
30 become more frequent with the adj
vent of the spring gardening season
Chickens in a newly-planted garden
can cause much damage. and in a short
time play havoc with the results of g
weeks hard labor.
Keep 'em tied up. if no other way
can be found, and thereby promote the
peace and quiet of the community in
which they have the misfortune tn
live.

SAVING PAPER.
christian Herald.)


IL has been said that the best way
to save money is not to spend it, and
users Of paper are adopting similar
means to prevent waste of this rap
idly depreciating commodity. Depart
ment stores and mail order houses in
many of the cities have found it pos
sible to use less paper in wrapping
packages without decreasing in any
degree the protection of the contents.
Grocers have found 1t possible to use
much less paper, or, to put it another
way, to put up more goods in the pa
per they did use, one element of waste
which has been eliminated being the
wrapping of boxes which are already
weather tight. The school board OF
New York City has found it hard to
secure the usual pads of scratch
paper for the 100000 school children
of the city. 1t has been reported as
considering a return to states. Peo-
rle are urged to keep paper instead of
burning it, but as yet We have not
seen a practical suggestion as to how
this paper is to be profitably collected
and returned to the channels of in
dustry.

lighting purposes than any other meth
cd. No dirt, smoky oil, no chimneys to

A CORRECTION AS TO LETTER
POSTAGE

Due to mistaken information,
though given from presumably re-
liable source, THE NEWS published
an item in last Fridays issue in re-
gard to the new postage rates which
contained just one little mistake,
which might mislead many
The item stated that only two
cents postage would be required on
letters mailed from Paris to postoffi-
ces in Bourbon county, and vice

this was a slight error, though well
meant. Three cents postage will be
required on all letters mailed to and
from offices inside the county, or to
points outside the county.
If you mail letter at the Paris
postoffice for city delivery. drop let

Not long ago I stood in the street

by to the train. Beside me stood
woman. She attracted attention be-

tall, well-built boy just of age,
should say, approached. AS he walk
ed by us he Strengthened, saluted,
and, with the slightest tremor in his
voice, said Goodbye, mother"

of his mother-proud he was her son,
and proud that he was doing his best
to fulfill her ideal of what an Amer

Doubtless she had lived through
these minutes many times in the last
few days, and she had determined
that her boy-the boy that she loved

should go away with the feeling that
his mother could be true to the things
she had tried to teach him.
All she said was Goodbye son,

THANKSGIVING TURKEY MAR.
KET OPENS AT "a CENTS.

The turkey market for Thanksgiv-
ing birds opened in this city and
county at the receiving pens and
slaughtering houses of Chas. S. Brent
E. Bro, last week with the purchase
OF q large number IF the birds at
twenty-four cents per pound deliver
ed at the pens and twenty-five and
one-half cents per pound taken at the
homes of the sellers. The crop is
said not to be very large one.
Brent & Bro. will continue to re-
ceive turkeys at their pens in this
city, Millersburg, Flemingsburg and
Carlisle up to and including Novem-
Der Is, the early closing date be-
ing made necessary by the continued
congestion on the railroads. In the
North Middletown vicinity Mr.. r B.
Young and Mr.. Leavett Roberts are
buying turkeys for Brent & Bro.
From some parts of the county
come the reports that there will be a
much larger number of the birds this
season than last, while others state
that there is decided scarcity of
turkeys in their sections of the
county. The birds are much larger
and in much better condition than
those put on the market last year.
This season turkeys that are not fat
will be accepted
In some sections of the county
many people are holding their tur-
keys for a higher price, but at pres
ent it is doubtful as to whether they
will bring a higher price than is now
being offered. In Montgomery coun-
ty the market opened up strong at
prices ranging from twenty-five to
twenty-four cents, but the crop was
reported as being very light, no
large flocks being found in the coun-
ty. The turkeys that have been
brought in for sale have been in ex-
cellent condition.
The turkey business which in for
mer years has been vast and profit
able industry for local dealers and
handlers, is likely to be seriously
handicapped this season by the car
shortage The dealers do not get
get much satisfaction from the rail-
road people as to whether or not cars
can be furnished for transportation
of the turkeys to the Eastern mar
kest. The railroads have practically
announced that no refrigerator cars
can be furnished, and that all fowls
shipped in other cars would be at
the risk of the shippers.
