PARISIANS IN TAG DAY "BAR
RAGE"

ID Pedestrians on the streets of Paris,
Saturday, were subjected to the
"barrage fire" of dozens of pretty
girls, all armed with nothing more
deadly than printed tags symbolizing
Tag Day. for the benefit of the
Bourbon County Health and Welfare
League. 5e- 5sN s.ef
They were here, there. and every
where, and no man was so bold or so
stingy as to dare try evasion with
them. 1t would not work at all.
There was no escape, and the contri-
button had to come and the tag had
to go on. - tsr -
Up to five o'clock the sum of
$261.79 had been realized, in addi-
ton to which a sum of money was
taken in from the sale of wagon
load of roasting ears, which had been
donated by liberal farmer, friend
of the League.
Large contributions of discarded
clothing, shoes, ETC., were received
during the day at the Office of the
League, where they were received by
Mrs. Harriet 5MiRaker, : the Visiting
Nurse of the organization. Money
and supplies of all kinds will be
needed this winter for the League 5
elief work among the poor of Paris
and the county. So every donation
made for the purpose will be adding
little bit to what has already been
done in the interest of one of the
best charitable organizations in the
city.

HARRY SIMON BUYS HARKINS
STORE IN LEXINGTON. I

Mr., Harry Simon, proprietor of
the Simon Department Store, one of
the largest mercantile concerns in
Paris, closed deal Saturday with
Mr., Norris Harkins, proprietor of the
Harkins Store at Lexington, where
by he becomes sole owner of the bus
mess, which has from a small begin
ming developed into one of the most
nourlsh1ng trade centers in Lexing-
ton. The sale was made privately
and the consideration was not given
out by either Mr.. Simon or Mr.. Har-
kins for publication. Mr.. Simon
will remain at his old stand in Paris,
and conduct the business here, at the
same time taking active management
of the Harkins Store, of which he
was given possession yesterday.
Mr.. Harkins was in business in
Paris for some time, and while here
took q handsome bride in the person
of Miss Gussie Saloshin, "a sister of
the late Mr.. Louis Saloshin, who has
been engaged with him in conducting
the business Of the Harkins Store.
After leaving Paris Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
kins embarked in business in Somer-
set, where they remained for several
years. About four years ago they
came to Lexington and bought out
the dry goods and ladies' ready-to-
wear store of-the late Mr.. G.. J.. Mey-
ers, on West Main street, where
they have been doing thriving bus
mess. 1t is understood that Mr.. Har-
kins will return to Somerset, and en-
cage in business with his brother,
Mr.. Israel Harkins, who has been in
Lexington helping to close the deal
with Mr.. Simon.
The impression has in some way
gotten out through the publication in
a Lexington paper that Mr. Simon
would sell out his business here and
go to Lexington to reside Mr.
Simon says nothing is further from
his thoughts, that he is well-satisfied
with Paris, that his best friends and
acquaintance are Paris people, and
that he will still remain here, but
will conduct both houses. And those
Who know Harry Simon as an hon
est, conscientious, progressive bust
ness man are glad that it will not be
otherwise, for Paris could ill afford
to lose many like him from the bust
ress life of the community.

PROSECUTIONS AGAINST GAME
LAW VIOLATERS.

Prosecutions in cases worked up by
Special Game Warden Bush Bishop
of Paris. in Madison county, have re.
suited i'm stiff fines being assessed
against game law violators in thai
county.
Some time ago Warden Bishop
made a special trip to Madison
county, where he placed M. w. An

arrest on a charge of hunting with.
out a license. In the County Court
a fine of SIS and costs was marked
lin against Anderson. The latter had
Warden Bishop arrested on charge
Of tresspassing. When the case was
tried Bishop was promptly dlscharg'
ed. Another charge against A1der'
son for trespaSSing was dismissed on
the ground that he was acting as
agent for the owner of the land
Mrs. Chenault.
The case of Warren Stoner, former
Partisan, who was arrested by war
den Bishop, at Olympian Springs
charged with killing doves out Of
season, and another charge of using
abusive and provoking language to-
ward Warden Bishop, were also tried
A fine of SIS and costs was assessed
on the first charge, while the sec
ond case was continued until Oct. l6
on account of absence of important
witnesses whose testimony was
needed.
Warden Bishop arrested Thos
Curtis, Charles Curtis and Thomas
Arbuckle near. Richmond last Friday
charged with hunting without q
license. Their cases will be heard In
the Madison County Court to-mor-
row.
The law-abiding sportsmen of Mad
ison are giving their hearty support
to Warden Bishop, and telling him
to enforce the law regardless of who
it hurts.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS AFTER
SKINNING LAFOLLETTE
LIVE. s

In the midst or a days thrllllnS
debate on alleged disloyalty Of Sena-
tor LaFollette, of Wisconsin, the ex-
traordinary session of Congress,
which began April 2. and is generally
regarded as the most momentous in
American history, was adjourned sine
die at p. m. Saturday. ;.
Vehement criticism of the Wiscon-
sin Senator and his own defense &C.
cupying virtually the entire day,
marked the close of the war session
with other customary adjournment
and legislative procedures including
President wilson's attendance at the
Capitol. The usual eleventh hour
srist of legislation was put through.
following six months of important
war action, and tonight most of the
members who had remained for the
final day were enroute home to await
the call Of the next session Deem
Der 8.
The halls of Congress have prob
ably never before heard such scath-
ing criticism of a United States Sem
ator as that which fell from the lips
of Senators to whom unalloyed patri-
otism had been inherited from their
forefathers. LaFollette was unmerci-
fully held up to the merited scorn OF
the America people in bitter vitrolic
speeches by Senators Kellogg, of Min
nesota. Fall, of New Mexico, and Rob
;nson, of Arkansas, who declared 1t
would be a shame to mention even
Benedict Arnold in the same breath
with LaFollette, whom even
school children were beginning to
shame and point the finger of scorn
as the arbitrator of America"
LaFollette replied with a three
hour speech in his own defense, but
it will never strike the people of
America as being more than a weak
apology for having "given aid and
comfort to the enemy"
Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, and
Fall. of New Mexico, Republicans,
and Robinson. of Arkansas, Demo.
crat. replied with criticism of Mr..
LaFollette's public statements. They
denounced what they termed his un-
patriotic stand, Mr.. Robinson stating
that if he held such opinions he
would seek a place in the German
Bundesart. Statements accredited
to the Wisconsin member in his St
Paul speech were fatty contrad1cted,
especially that regarding former Sec
rotary of State Bryan's knowledge OF
ammunition being on the Lusitanla
before she sailed on her fatal voy-
age.
