Our False Security.

Nations are like individuals-they
often imagine themselves immune
from danger right at the time when
they are in the greatest jeopardy. 1t
is so with the United States to-day.
There is a lull in the German situa-
ton, Japan has had nothing to say
for few weeks, and Mexico appears
to be taking a siesta. Hence, with
out looking beneath the surface, we
Jump to the conclusion that every
thing is fine and the dove is flirting
with the American Eagle" But just
before every disastrous storm there
is a lull, with scarcely a ripple on
the water, with not leaf stirring
We appear to be indifferently sleep
ing in such a lull to-day, giving nc
heed to the tempest that may be
roaring tomorrow. And in the end
we will pay the price of our folly.

To The Public!

The merchants or Paris recently
signed agreements to close their
stores as follows; Grocery stores at
p. m. and Saturdays IL p. m.
Other lines of business at p. M, eX-
cepting Saturdays, Some Of our mer-
chants are doing all they can to live
up to their agreement, while others
find all kind of excuses to extend the
time of closing. One of their main
excuses has been that customers will
delay their purchases to the last
minute, and by entering stores at the
closing hour make it difficult for
merchants to close their stores as
agreed upon.
The Merchants Protective Associa-
ton of Bourbon County at it's last
meeting directed by an unanimous
vote that the undersigned make an
urgent appeal to the public to kindly
assist the merchants by making all
their purchases so as not to conflict
with this closing arrangement.
There must be reason in all
things. A business or household
conducted without order and system
cannot bring complete success. Re-
member success does not mean money
alone-but also means Happiness
Harmony and Good Health"
The mechanic and ordinary day
laborer will not work over 10 or
hours per day. This you will agree
lis exactly right. But why then
! should we expect a merchant tt
work from 6 a. nj. to 10 or even Il
p. M, or from IL to Is hours pei
day?
The merchant desires good health
and wants to live as long as others
He wants to enjoy the company OF
his wife and children at evening
during the week as well as only on
Sundays. Two hours extra rest each
day means all this for him and better
service for you on the next day. No
doubt you believe this is right and
| are willing to grant him and his
clerks and porters this necessary
rest. Then why not help him to live
| up to his pledge and make your pur-
lchases accordingly?
To those merchants who have so
| far failed to close their stores as
promptly as they agreed, we appeal
Eagain. For the good of all, as well
as your own welfare, let us stand to-
Igether and work like one man.
I To those merchants who so far
thave failed to fall in line on the
closing agreement, we extend an
earnest appeal to Come and work to-
gether with us for a common cause, .
and to the public we appeal for their
encouragement and cooperation in
this movement, because we believe 1t
right.

criticize justly in their handling of
their offsprings. They give as they
have or as they are able to get, the
best of everything for the child. No
care is too great, no attention is
too Insignificant in their efforts to
shield it from the snares of life and
yet have it develop into real man
or woman of honor, integrity and
usefulness.
But, again, there are others-quite
others. We see young boys running
wild and imbibing the vices of man
hood, smoking, swearing, drinking,
gambling, staggering, using lam
guage too vile for print. No, they
are not assets either. They are just
somebody's kids, kids of somebody
who doesn't deserve kids. But they,
too, are somebody's flesh and blood,
and should be given the care that
will make them, too, useful men and
women.
If the parents of these boys can
not see the hell of the future in store
for them if they continue their pres
ent course, isn't it possible for the
community at large to do something
to save them? Are they, young hui
mans, not as valuable in our sight as
the horse, the cow, the chick or the
kitten? There are many loving
mothers and fathers in this commu-
nifty who can find way, if they
choose. But will they? We make
this suggestion in spirit of fairness
and humanity, that something prac-
tical and beneficial may be done for
somebody's kids" Will you do it?

interpretive and Retrospective.

Now, what would you like for us
to say to you in this issue? Some
thing pleasant, you say? Of course
you would-that's one of the great
troubles with all of us. We want
the sunny spots in the winter and
the shady spots in the summer, and
we forget to think of the troubles
and miseries of someone else just
around the corner. Sometimes we
become weary of this humdrum
daily existence and forget to white
wash our words, and then we speak
as we think, and it does not sound
very good to the other fellow-not to
us, either, for the simple reason that
1t is only too true.
Now, If we are overweary to-day,
and If the pen is dipped in the acid
of observation and experience you
will at least have the consolation
of knowing that we love you, though
we chastise you for your shortcom-
ings.
When we turn our horses and cat
tie out to Craze we head them for
the spot where the grass is green
and the feed is wholesome. We are
careful of their welfare for they are
an asset, they are things of value,
they represent more dollars to add to
our bank rolls
When the old hen come off the nest
with a brood of little chicks we be-
stir ourselves and guard them relig-
iously from the sharp fangs of the

and it is good to see and good to do.
When the cat delivers to us a bas-
ket of fuzzy little kittens, helpless
in their blindness, we take them
into our homes, and fondle them,
and mother them, and give them a
warm bed in back of the kitchen
stove-for our hearts go out to the
tender little things.
And so it is with every thing of
life that brings money, or recrea-
ton or amusement into the home.
We give them our care, our atten-
ton, our solicitude. For, as we said
before, they are an asset, one way OF
another
But what of our children? What
OF the little ones whom we our
selves have Brought into the world,

taste of the sweeter joys of life?
No. we can hardly term them an

more precious than all assets-they
are our flesh and blood.

As To Universal Service. :

A year ago only a handful of peo-
pie could be found who were in favor
of universal military service. Now
the man who opposes such service
is the exception Americans are es-
sentially a fair minded people when
facts are brought forcibly to their
attention, and this fact has been
amply exemplified in the tremendous
change of national sentiment regard
ing universal service. Daily papers
of the great cities assert that the
principal objection to universal SER
vice comes from the rural districts.
But the daily papers are wrong. The
young men of our community are on
a par with those of other rural dis
tricts, and yet we unhesitatingly as
sert that no where in this broad land
will be found a more unified or patri-
otto sentiment than that which ex-
lists in the hearts of our own young
men. If the best interests OF the
country demand that each one, rich
and poor alike, shall serve his six
months in a training camp, then
when the time comes we will find
them stepping briskly to the front
with heads erect and eyes upon the
flag of freedom. There will be nc
Sinking, or quibbling, or hanging
back on the part of our young men.
