BELLS AND WHISTLES
Arouse Paris Residents Thursday
Night-Report Circulated That
German Zeppelins Were
Sailing Over.

Hundreds of residents of Paris and
suburbs were given a genuine scare
on last Monday night when the ring
ing Of bells and the shrieking OF
whistles told of the completion of the
work of raising Bourbon's Red Cross
allotment.
The report gained wide circulation
throughout the city that German
Zepplins were sailing over Paris.
Others stated that there was an i'm
mense fire in progress in the section
close to the South Paris yards of the
Louisville & Nashville. A revival
tent meeting In progress on Cypress
street was broken up as the alarm
spread. At the Grand Opera House
there was a near-panic In the audi
ence, which was only quelled when
cool headed people explained the
cause of the demonstration.
The rumors gained their widest
circulation shortly after the bells and
whistles has ceased their loud ac-
claim of the fact that Bourbon had
toed the mark squarely. At $3.50 or
Whereabouts, while THE NEWS was
waiting word for its closing report,
the fire bell, court house bell and
church bells simultaneously with
score or more of whistles
on the round house and the
other places in the immediate vicin-
ity, started refrain that was the
cause of the general alarm. Tele-
phone operators almost had a case OF
shattered nerves trying to explain to
excited subscribers the cause of the
racket. Every drop on the boards at
both exchanges was down, and 1T be-
came a physical impossibility to re-
spond to all the requests for informa-
ton.
In less than five minutes the streets
were crowded with people seeking
the cause of the racket Many OF
them came out with every evidence
of having been in Sunderland. The
members of the National Guard quar-
tered in the basement of the court
house, turned out, thinking the Ger
man advance guard had come in the
night. Hundreds of amusing situa-
tions developed in the course of a few
moments. but when the cause of the
fanfare was explained. everybody ap-
peared to be happy, and returned To
their homes satisfied and thankful
they had learned what was going on,
and that everything was all right in
the capital of Bourbon.

ing Aeroplane and Will Offer
Services to Uncle Sam.

Stanley Young, son of Mr.. j. w.
Young, prominent Bourbon county
farmer, who is developing into a me-
chanical genius, is constructing an
aeroplane at his his home near North
Middletown, according to reliable re-
ports, and when it has been COM
pleted and given a thorough testing
out, he will offer his services to the
United States Government as a flier.
The construction of the plane,
which is being built along the lines
Of the Curtis bi-plane, it is learned,
has been conducted secretly, and
only few of the young mans most
intimate friends have known of his
intentions. The machine is almost
completed, with the exception of in
stalling the engines, which will be
placed in position Immediately upon
their arrival. Young expects to
make the initial test of his machine
on July 4.
According to information several
persons in the neighborhood who
have been made acquainted with
Young's intentions have pledged
themselves to make up a purse for
him, if the first flight is successful,
in the effort to assist him in the work
of constructing the machine, which is
being done at his private expense.
Young, it is said, developed a de-
sire to become the pilot of an aero
plane shortly after the declaration of
war against Germany, and immedi-
ately began the construction of his
machine in order that he might not
encounter any difficulties in his eff
forts to fly. He has given an ex-
haustive study to the art, and his
friends predict he will make success
of his undertaking.

THE OTHER SIDE-FISHERMEN
VS.. BATHERS.
(Contributed.)


ED NEWS
The fishermen who fish in the wa
tiers below the mill dam of the Paris
Milling Co. desire to present their
side of the question of fishermen
versus bathers. We do not object to
the presence of clean-minded boys
who go in bathing there, but we are
most decidedly opposed to permitting
a bunch of foul mouth kids, who
fling insults at ladies and young
girls passing on the bridge. over
Stoner. These young reprobates had
to be severely called down few
days ago by Chief of Police Link, and
threatened with being deprived of
the bathing privileges altogether.
They gather there and I'LL the air
with the vilest language their
tongues can give voice to. Some of
them instead of having the required
bathing suits, come there with an old
undershirt, which barely suffices to
conceal their nakedness. They do
everything to show their innate dew
ilishness. We cold name a dozen
different offenses that would place
them. despite their youth, in Jail
should they be caught in the act. AS
soon as Chief Link left the scene the
other day these boys resumed their
acts, even going to the extent of yell
ing the vilest insults to girls hast
ening across the East Paris bridge.
1t is true that we can find plenty
of places to fish in besides the mill
pond, but common decency should
prohibit these boys from showing
their lack of good breeding by such
acts as those we complain of.

VOLUME XXXVII
DIR. FRITZ HELD
TO GRAND JURY
BOND FIXED AT $1,000 BY LOUIS
VILE COURT-REFERRED TO
BY ATTORNEY rs PATRIOTIC
NUT WHO MADE MISTAKE"

In Louisville, Tuesday afternoon.
DR.. John Fritz, of Covington, who
was arrested last week by United
States Marshal Workman, on afida-
Wits charging him with unlawfully
representing himself to be a United
States recruiting officer, and thereby
obtaining money in various sums I'm
lawfully, was, after trial before
United States Commissioner John P.
Haswell, held over in $3.50 bonds to
the October session of the Federal
Grand Jury. DR.. Fritz was unable
to secure a bondsman, and was re-
manded to the Jefferson County jail.
The charge against DR.. Fritz was
based on allegations that he has rep
resented himself as an officer in the
Medical Reserve Corps of the United
States Army, and has collected sums
of money in various places in Ken
lucky while on a personally conduct
ed recruiting tour. The case for the
Government was prosecuted by Unit
ed States District Attorney Miller
and his assistant, S. Merrell Russell
DR.. Fritz was represented by Mr.
Higgins and Robert Hagan.
Eight witnesses were introduced
for the Government, and DR.. Fritz
took the stand in his own behalf af-
ter Mr.. Haswell had overruled a mo-
tion for dismissal on the part of At
10 CnUoTnnaanf r
ed upon the presentation of its case.
United States District Attorney
Thomas ID. Slattery made affidavit on
which a warrant was issued for DR..
John Fritz, charging him with imper-
sonating an officer of the Medical Re-
serve Corps of the United States
army. II is alleged that he procured
SIS from Percy Reid, of Richmond,
formerly of Paris, in that manner.
DR.. Fritzs bond had been placed
at $1,000. When Attorney Higgins
was convinced that Mr.. Haswell
would hold over his defendant on the
testimony introduced, he made an eff
fort TO have the bond reduced to a
point where DR.. Fritz could be re-
leased from Jail instead of being held
in custody throughout the summer.
It was in that connection that Mr.
Higgins first made reference to his
client as patriotic nut"
This great Government" he said
could do better than to hound q
patriotic nut who has, in zeal AMI
enthusiasm, gone too far and made
some mistakes. The strong arm OF
the law, with its departments, secret
service and money, could be used &c
a better purpose to search out those
who oppose the Government, rather
than seek to stop this man who was
doing a good work, although it is ad-
mitted he did go too far"
DR.. Fritz testified that he is 80
years old, and is public speaker, q
foot specialist, a former aeronaut
and occasionally a cabaret singer
He said he left Covington long ago
and don't know where he hasn't
touched since that time"
Before coming to Kentucky, DR.
Fritz was active along similar lines
in Texas and Oklahoma, and showed
letters from many army, navy and
marine corps recruiting officers
praising his work.
DR.. Fritz stated to the court that
of he was able to give bond he would
continue his recruiting work.
Il realize I have made a mistake
though" he said, land / will pro-
coed differently the rext time"

There is a place where we go in
summer, Keturah and /, and such of
our children as we still gather about
us. And this we have done for many
years; and the place is our own. And
when we arrived, there came to me
certain of my friends, riding about
upon Gasoline Stove, and they said,
Safed, thou mildewed old slave of
the lamp, leave thy books; and go
with Us and play Golf.
And / answered, | am more mer-
ciful man than to play Golf with you,
lest when We see how l play, it dis
courage you utterly.
And they said, Behold, thou bluff
fest.
And l said, l have some work that
must do, though it be Vacation.
Leave me, and may the day go well
with you.
And they went their way.
And l gat me to my task. But
there came to me my Little Grand
daughter, and behind her was her
Mother, and her Grandmother, even
Keturah and the daughter of Keturah.
And the little maiden said, Grandpa,
come hither, and play. with me. And
IL was no use telling her that / was
too busy.
And as / was preparing to go with
her, / spake unto my daughter, even
the mother of the little maiden, and
/ said, Tell me again what the Old
Farmer at Mount Holyoke said unto
thee.
And she said, He hath great pas
ture field where Daisies grow so
thick his Cows can find no Grass, and
it had been blessing if all Daisies
had been pulled out. But he hath no
Joy in life, nor ever hath, save that he
stitch on his porch and ordereth the
College Girls to keep out of his Field
of Daisies. And this is the manner
of his speech to them, saying, I've
told your grandmothers, and I've told
your mothers, and now I'm telling
you. Keep out of my daisy field"
And said to my daughter, and to
her daughter, and to Keturah, I am
like unto that old farmer; for / also
have been prosecuted by these three
generations.
An they all laughter at me, even
Keturah, and her daughter, and her
daughters daughter.
And j took the little Damsel by the
hand, and l said, Come, and we will
find Swing.
And she visit not what. a Swing
might be. And / took her to great
Tree where for many years had been
Swing, and placed her in the
Swing, and stood before her, and
pushed her from me, and the swing
brought her back. And each time !
pushed her / cried, Come back to
Grandpa; and each time the Swing
turned to come back she called back
to me, saying, Here I come.
And looked upon her face as she
swung through the air, and / said,
Thou art the prettiest little Golf Ball
on earth.

home assist in the conservation of the
surplus perishable fruits and vege-
tables by canning, preserving, pick
ling, drying and storing, but also
that every experienced woman place
her knowledge at the disposal of her
neighbors.
At the beginning of the war the
farmer and gardener responded
promptly to the appeal issued by the
president, and nature has been boun-
tiful. Now is the time for the con-
sumers to do their share.
1t seems desirable that women's or

local food officials, so as to be able to

vegetables consigned to markets I'M
