"It will be famine for the entire population,
If during the next we do not mobilize armies,
just as well-trained and disciplined military
forces to take control of the lands of this country
and cultivate them.
''Our lands must be put to their most productive
use going to find ourselves unable to
maintain our armies and the civilian population
necessary for their support. II going to
be successful, we must put into the problem of
developing these lands some measure of the energy
foresight and careful planning that we have given
to raising army.
"In putting idle lands to work we must
consider two other great factors labor and trans
portaton. The land that is lying unused near
cities and great industrial centers particularly
ought to be put to work, because it would relieve
the strain already over-burdened railways.
''There is enough unused land within 80 min
utes ride from New York city hall to supply all
the vegetables for the entire city, and yet New York
draws on Florida and California for large part of
its fresh food. Why? Because the land in the
acre, which puts it out of the reach of the
people in New York who are capable of using It,
"These high land values have been created by
other cause than the growth Of New York and
its surrounding communities and the people who
own the land have only legal title and not
moral right to reap the rich rewards Of this popu
lation growth.
I'm the past Americans have been easy
going about the whole land question: because there
has been sharp necessity to drive us to solve it.
But when are brought face to face with famine
and really understand the enormous burdens of
taxation which we are shoudering, there is going
to be grave consideration of the problem Of fore
ing land to be used productivity"

A jury in the district court returned
q verdict OF $1,000 for Mrs. Lena Stehn
against the city and the Pentecostal
Church of the Nazarene at 10:40 We'd

THE TRAFFIC STANDARDS.

Modern traffic conditions call i'm
peratively for strict regulations in
cities of all sizes. The fact that one
of Paris leading business streets is
a part of the road between Maysville
and Louisville, a part of the inter-
state Jackson Highway makes the in
crease of automobile travel through
the city a matter of certainty. Motor
lists who are not members of the COM
munity through which they are driv-
ing often forget to observe at home.
The traffic regulations will contribute
toward securing a proper regard for
safety and courtesy upon the part of
transients.
Paris has not prosecuted motorists.
as some of the Kentucky cities and
towns have, and it will not do so.
The city should be seen by, and will
interest all tourists who traverse
Kentucky. No tour of Kentucky
should be. considered complete with
out a visit to Paris, and hearty
Kentucky welcome should be extend
ed all visitors here. But everyone
resident and visitor alike, should be
obliged to obey reasonable regula-
lions to insure safety and conven
fence.

NEVER TOO LATE TO BEGIN
There IL No Past So Black or So Bit
ter That It Cannot BE Redeemed,
Declares Writer.

Take heart and begin again AS
Kipling says, "there is for you moth
ing irremediable, nothing ineffaceable,
nothing irrecOncilable in anything you
may have said or thought or DONE"
There is no past so black or so bitter
that it cannot be redeemed. Though
thy sins are as scarlet they shall be
made whittier than snow"
There is no better time to have
mental house cleaning than now,
writes Or. Orison Sweet Marden in the
Nautilus. 1t is good time to get rid
of the rubbish that has so long been
a handicap. Don't pull along with you
through the door of the present all the
miserable black, painful things which
worried you, marred your success and
your happiness in the past. Shut all
Of these horrid ghosts out behind the
closed door Of your past life. Take
across the threshold Of the new day
only those things that can help you, the
friends of your success and your hap
piness; take only the pleasant memo
ries. the helpful thoughts and sugges-
tons with you. Leave all the others
behind. Bury all your skeletons so deep
that they can never come to live with
you again.
Say to them: "You miserable devils,
you have logged my steps, hindered
my progress, destroyed my peace Of
mind, and strangled my efficiency long
enough. will have nothing more to
do with you. am Gods child, and I
was not made to be bounded by these
enemies who are trying to thwart my
ambition and to dwarf my career by
devitalizing me, and then cutting down
my efficiency"

WORLD FULL OF COMPLAINERS
Some Wall About I'll Health, Many
About Ill Fortune, but Most Of
All About Ill Luck.

The world is full of complainers.
Some complain of I'LL health, many Of
i'll fortune and most Of all of i'll luck.
A pound of pluck is worth a ton Of
luck. 1t is not a perfect world. Who
is we'll every day throughout the year
without an ache, a pain or a cough?
Who is perfect in physique, in tenn
per, in deed and word and conscience?
What man or woman is without a
weakness or reason at times for mis-
givings or cause at times for repent
ance?
1t is q world of foibles, fads and
fanatics. If we were all perfect, the
preachers would be needless. Heaven
would be on earth.
There is comfort in the thought that
the striking differences we find among
men and women make the world at
tractive. If all were alike, the mo-
notony would be unbearable.
Think of these things when you feel
like repenting over i'll health, I'LL for
tune, ill treatment or i'll luck.
Misery loves company and there are
always "others."-Leslie'S.

Education of the rising generation
through school curses of the study
and care of the rising generation
through school courses of the study
and care of tuberculosis and other
preventable diseases, is absolutely
necessary to their eradication and

of tubercular children and no teacher
employed who is not free from tuber-

Insurinq the Apple Crop.

OF late years scientific attempts
have been made to insure the apple
crop. Formerly apple growing was
sort of gamble. Perhaps Jack Frost
might slip down from the hills into an
orchard, some spring night, when the
trees were in bloom, and with touch
of his icy fingers, blast the entire
crop. Even if he passed up the oppor-
tunity of freezing the incipient crop
the worms and bugs and various dis
eases got in their work. All the way
through apple growing was more or
less of q gamble. Not so today. The
apple producer provides himself with
smudge pots filled with oil, and when
the temperature drops to the freez-
ing point in spring time the grower
lights the heaters and maintains safe
temperature. Then at the proper time
he goes forth with a spraying ap-
paratus and wards off the danger and
damage Of a myriad host OF creeping,
crawling, flying singing insects and
some tree diseases as well.

Iese.MaIesty.

Lese-majesty in Jurisprudence signi-
fies any crime committed against the
sovereign power in a state. Among
the Romans "crimen laesae majesta-

q citizen for acts of rebellion, usurpa-
ton of office, or general misdemeanors
of a political character, which were
comprehended under the title OF OF
lenses against the majesty of the Ro-
man people. In the reign OF Tiberlus,
according to SuetoniuS, it was lese-
majesty to fog a slave or to change
ones clothes in the presence OF any
image of the emperor. Germany gives

cisms Of the emperor's official acts.

Overaus.

This might almost be called an
age of overalls, for with gardens, de-
Tense leagues, girl and boy scouts
and the hundred and one other &C
tivities which are calling girls and
boys this summer, overalls fill a
practical requirement. Do not make
the mistake of thinking that the
overalls boys wear and the over
alls girls wear are the same! Oh, no.
Girls overalls are made rather full
and bloomer-like, some of them have
blouses attached and are large
enough to put over an entire frock ii
required to do so. Of course, khaki
is the material considered the most
desirable for these garments whether
for boys or girls, but very often ging-
ham and galatea are used when the
boys are small and when the girls
wear them in the house.

Summer 0veralls of Khaki

to think of anything that will take a
great deal of time, for the modern
embroidery is very simple indeed.
The darning- stitch is a great favorite
and is used to give the effect of
shadow embroidery; the lazy-daisy-
stitch is quickly and easily done and
is effective in coarse wool or cotton.
Braiding is very fashionable. Some
times braiding designs are stitched
with coarse thread on the upper or
lower part of the machine, which
every woman considers easiest, and
is wonderfully attractive. I saw 4
charming little frock of lawn not
long ago with a lattice-work design
around the bottom, the lower edge of
sleeves and on the front. A spray of
flowers running through the lattice
was worked by hand, but the lattice
itself was done with machine
stitching.
Cross-stitch is a wonderfully effec-
tive establishment to children's
frocks and is very easily and quickly
done.

Music Language Of Soul.

The meaning of music goes deep. IL
is the universal language Of the soul.
Where speech fails, song Is only be-
ginning. Music can make mems hearts
as steel in the face Of battle, when
thousands are to be stricken down
and trampled into the earth, or 1t can
melt these same hearts to tender love
and make them tremble at a sweet
hearts whisper. Music can cleanse
the soul for worship, or 1t can de-
brave for the vilest orgies. 1t uplifts'
and it debases; it inspires to the hlgn'
the sweet, the true, and it deadens TO
the gross and low, the vicious and the
heartless. Freedom and love and hdel'
ity and praise-words that illumine all
language-would be meaningless ano
dead but for the spirit instilled into
them by song.-ExcEange.

SOUR STOMACH.

This is mild form IF indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or OF food
not suited to your digestive organs.
If you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any medi-
cine whatever. When you have sour
stomach take one of Chamberlain
Tablets to aid digestion.
