CASH CROW AGAIN IN THE PUB.
Lie EYE.

Cash Grove, he of the elusive per-
sonality and tendency to get into
the courts continually, was brought
to the Massie Memorial Hospital, in
Paris, Sunday, suffering from gun
shot wounds in the noted limbs that
have helped him make his getaway
from Paris penal institutions onsev-
eral occasions.
Cash had been in seemingly quiz
escent state for some time, as he had
not been heard from in Paris, but
old man trouble was camping on
his trail and finally landed him
again. Cash and a man named Alli-
son upon meeting near Sardis, in
Mason county, last Saturday, ,resum-
ed an old grudge. Allison procured
a shotgun and peppered Cash's legs
with shot. He was not seriously in
Hospital for treatment. Mason
county evidently didn't want him.
He is improving.
Allison was arrested on a charge
of shooting and wounding and re-
leased on $500 bond to await Crows
recovery to appear in court.
Cash has been familiar figure in
police and court circles here. He
has served one term in the Frankfort
Reformatory, being sent up from this
county. He has escaped from the
Paris Jail and from the county work
house, and boasts that no Jail could
hold him very long.

EDISON BELIEVED TO HAVE PER-
FECTED U-B0AT FOIL.

Out of the guarded seclusion of
Thos. A. 'Edison's laboratory, where
for months the wizard of America
has been mysteriously employed, has
come the invention that will foil
German U-boats, it is firmly believed
in Washington, following reports
made recently by. American liners
and destroyers of astonishing escapes
from torpedoes. Although Secretary
of the Navy Daniels refused to dis
cuss the report, it is stated Non good
authority that the Edison device has
been installed on several destroyers
and liners, and has proven a success.
Other vessels are being rapidly equip
ped, it is declared.

sow MORE WHEAT THIS FALL.

Perhaps the most important task of
the United States in this great strug.
gle which we have entered is to fur
nish the European Allies with suffici-
ent foodstuffs to keep their armies
and peoples well fed. Upon our abil-'
ity to accomplish this task depends
very largely the chances of victory.
Wheat is the most suitable food
stuff for export and we must produce
enough in 1918 to meet not only our
own needs but also provide large
surplus for export. A record crop
can be grown in 1918 If every farmer
in the country will plant as large an
acreage as can. be consistently done
without interfering with regular
farm practice. The government IS
urging farmers to do this, and In
order that they may be certain to In
cur no loss by so doing price of 81
per bushel has been guaranteed for
the 1918 crop. Thus the farmer who
sows large crop of wheat Is assured
of good profits and at the same time
he will be rendering his country
distinct service.
Bourbon county is asked to SOW
$4,000 acres of wheat this fall,
which is 80 per cent. more than was
sown last year. There is little doubt
that even a larger acreage than this
will be sown. Bourbon county must
not fail to do its part.
The government must know that
| the desired acreage will be sown and
the National Council of Defense for
Bourbon county has been asked to
find out as nearly as possible how
much more wheat each farmer in the
county will produce this year.
Through an arrangement with the
Postmasters of the county a card will
be placed in every rural mail box
On this card are spaces in which each
farmer is requested to give the ap-
proximate acreage sown to wheat last
fall and the acreage that he will sow
this fall. After filing in, the card
should be placed in the mail box
again. No stamp is required. These
cards will go to the Kentucky Agri-
cultural College, where the figures
can be tabulated. 1t is earnestly re-
quested that these cards be returned
promptly.
Please do not neglect filling in and
returning your card.

Defense for Bourbon County.

BOURBON COUNTY SENDS SEC
0ND QUOTA TO CAMP TO-
MORROW.

WIN the cOmpleClOn Oh the TASK
of securing the second quota Of
Bourbon county men for the Ma
tional army, and the departure to-
morrow morning of the county's ap-
portionment of the forty per cent.
called under the terms of the selec-
tive draft act, fifty-six men, for
Camp Zachary Taylor, Bourbon
county people will begin to realize
that we are having an active part
in the organization of the force that
may be called on very soon to take
an active part in France.
These men, representative youth
of the city and county, have been
summoned by the Bourbon County
Exemption Board, to report to
them at their Office in the Bourbon
county court house this afternoon,
at three o'clock, when they will be
given their final instructions. Ar
rangements have been made for their
departure tomorrow morning at
7:47 o'clock, In a special car over
the Louisville & Nashville, for Camp
Zachary Taylor. They will be in
charge of one of their number, Mr..
Charles E. Wilson, who has been
designated with the rank of Captain,
and will be under his direction until
they reach Camp Taylor, and are as
signed to quarters.
In this connection THE NEWS is
requested in a communication from
the>War Department to correct a
mistaken impression that has gone
out that the men will be supplied
with the necessary toilet articles
upon their arrival at camp. The
communication is signed by Capt.
James G.. Wheeler. Captain Inf, o.
R. c., and is as follows:
Drafted men from several coun-
ties have reported here without tow
els or toilet articles, stating that
they were instructed by their local
Boards that these would be furnished
them upon their arrival here.
1.-THE purpose of this letter is the
correction of that entirely errone-
Gus impression. Men should bring
with them toilet articles and al
least one towel. A change of under
wear and an extra pair of SOCKS
should also be brought. The publ
cation of this information in your
paper may save much inconvenience
to drafted men and the officers in
charge of them.
There will be no formal demonstra-
ton when these men leave Paris, as
our boys are not of the braSs-band-
and-hurrah kind, but they will leave
quietly and with full apprecla'
ton of their responsibility as future
soldiers. and with the certain knowl
edge that the people of Paris AND
Bourbon county will send them on
their way with hearty good WISH
for their return and for their wei
fare while away.
I'm event that any of the men can
not present themselves tomorrow
the following five men have peer
named as substitutes: Frank Il

HOUSE, LAWN AND GARDEN.

House plants that are buggy and
shaggy and refuse to improve should
De thrown out. They are an eye
sore. Better demolish the window gar
len than to mock nature with the vic
inns of ignorance or neglect.
A pretty combination in the way Of
plants for table decoration is to plant
4 dracaena in the center and surround
t with small ferns, peperonia, a
saxifrage, and locopodium. They
are agreeable to one another and
thrive with the same treatment.
Any time during the winter when
the canes are not frozen prune and tie
Up grape and ornamental climbers.
This work should not be delayed until
growth starts, as it will then injure
the vines.
If you find punches Of dead leaves
hanging in the trees, remove them.
They contain destructive young
larvae. Spray if you see evidence of
the scale.
If leaves strew the lawn, do not de-
stroy them. They protect the grass.
Plan to have plenty of flowers next
summer, but if you are restricted in
your desire, determine to begin a
hardy, herbaceous border. This should
consist of hardy, early and late bloom
ing bulbs and perennials. AS such
a border is intended to be undisturbed
for years, perhaps, it should be deeply
spaded and well MANFRED.
If you suspect that your trees-fruit,
nut and ornamental-are troubled with
aphis or bark-louse, wash the trunk
and lower branches with soapsuds or
I've water. Whitewash is also effec-
tive in keeping the trees healthy, but
most of us object to whitening the
sree trunks.
Order trees, seeds, plants and nur-
sery stock early and secure the va
sieties you want, the best stock and
exactly what you ask for.
Remember that nothing ''just hap
pens"

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
Prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as

10 many applicants for insurance are re-

non to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are

lave the disease.

Be careful to remove all flowers as

that show any decay should be cut
