l appreciate that most people do

There Is a scientific theory that
every type of man has It's proto-
type among the lower animals. A
ferocious man, for example, is at
tracted by lions and tigers. A
sneaky, treacherous man has a
fondness for snakes. And you
have, perhaps, seen pugilist lead
ing a bulldog on a leash.
No pugilist was ever seen lead
ing a rabbit on a leash. Nor was
anybody ever able to inveigle me
into the roped arena.
The conclusion is irresistible,
therefore, that the rabbit is my
prototype. And this is why love
my rabbit.
Nevertheless, claim that mine
is no ordinary rabbit. Anybody
could love the rabbit of mine.
He is so doglike in his fidelity
and affection that it seems to me
he ought to have tail to wag.

went down cellar to tend the fur

He fawns on me the way a dog

RECORD PRICE PAID FOR BOUR-
BON TOBACCO CROP.

What is undoubtedly the record
price so far for a crop of Bourbon
county tobacco was realized Tuesday,
when Pinkard & Ellis, who have a
crop of eight acres, near Paris, sold
the entire crop for thirty cents per
pound straight. ~
The purchasers were Roy Land
and Charles ]. Doyle, of Paris. The
tobacco is to be delivered at the In
dependent Tobacco Warehouse in
Lexington. Mr.. Pinkard told THE
NEWS man that it was undoubtedly
the finest tobacco ever grown in
Bourbon county. The plants were
as high as an average mans head
and had from thirty-five to forty
leaves, each as big as some of the
elephant ear" plants we see in the
city flower gardens. The tobacco is of
a remarkably fine and close texture.
Mr.. Pinkard said he had been told by
tobacco men that he could not pro-
duce a good crop on the soil he had
leased, but that this sale certainly
showed it could be done.

taking for his subject America In
the Balance-Will She be Found
Wanting?" To the inspiration of his
wonderful address may be ascribed
the success of the afternoon. He
paid particularly neat compliment
to the women of Paris and the
county for the noble work they had
done in getting Liberty Loan sub
scriptions. Only a word artist
could do justice to his speech.
At the conclusion of the address
the call for subscriptions was taken
up, and while the start was a little
slow, the avalanche gained strength
and momentum, and from $4,000
down the grade to $50 bonds the
ball kept rolling until the assistant
tellers scattered through the big au-
dicence had all they could do to keep
tab on those who were shying their
dollars to the defense of their coun-
try. 1t was an inspiring time. The
responses came in punches, and by
the time the meeting adjourned
Bourbon county has exceeded by
$35,500 it's apportionment. Individ-
ual subscriptions of thousands of
dollars came skyrocketing to the
tellers as if dollars were marbles in
a boys game. The story told in
few words is that Bourbon county
is on the roll of honor to the extent
of S432,500. Space will not permit
of listing the individual and other
and with Secretary
Frank P. Kiser out of town it has
been impossible to get complete
list. Suffice it to say that old Bour-
bon told the Chairman she'd do it,
and by Heck, she done it! Glory

by Rev. Mr.. Orr, and with music by
the Boys Band of the 1. o. o. f.
Home, one of the most memorable
and enthusiastic meetings Bourbon
has witnessed in a decade
was brought to a close. 1t would
be very hard to give credit to any
or to any set of individ-
uals for. the success of the Liberty
Loan movement in Paris and the
county, but certain it is that the
people know who did it, and they
also know that to the women of the
city and county most of the need of
praise must be given.
It has been freely predicted that
the sum of 100000 will have been
raised in this county by the end of
the week, as belated individual sub
scriptions in various amounts are
still being reported to the Finance
Committee, which augurs well for
the spirit of the people and the ulti-
mate seal of the community being
placed on the 100000 mark by Sat-
urday.
The members of the staff Of
'Everystudent," the Paris High
School monthly publication, sub
scribed for a $50 Liberty Loan bond,
which will be turned in to the credit
of the publication for future use.
The members of the High School Sen
ior German Class took up collec-
ton and purchased $50 Liberty
Bond, which will be devoted to the
