ROADS WASHED OUT.

Game Warden Bush Bishop re-
turned yesterday from a motor trip
through Nicholas, Mason and Brack-
en- counties, where he had been on
business connected with his office.
Mr.. Bishop reports the pixies as
being in bad condition following the
recent storms. Trees were blown
down and fences scattered along the
Maysville pike for miles. In many
places the force of the wind and Wa
ter had ripped the macadam sur
face off the pixies leaving the rocky
foundation layers exposed. In other
places he saw yards of tobacco cot
ton hanging on fences where it had
been blown from the beds and wash
ed into the branches by the swift
downrush of the water from gullies
on the hillsides
Twisted and lightning SCARED trees
were in evidence on both sides of the
road all the way down. In some
places the pike was almost impass-
able. and he had hard time getting
around some of the distractions.

IMPORTANT ACTION
BOARD OF HEALTH
PARIS, KY, June /, 1917

PARIS, KY, June /, 1917.
Investigating the Paris High
Schools, white and colored, and hav-
ing found many unsanitary condi-
tions existing therein, the Board Of
Health feel it it's duty to notify those
in charge that unless necessary
changes are made looking to the re-
lief of such ill conditions, said Board
will be constrained to close the base
ment of the High School, (white)
for the reception of children in class
rooms This part of the building
was not at all intended by thebuild-
ing committee to ever have been used
for such purposes. There is way
to obviate the difficulty and the
Health Board can not too strongly
recommend any means to that end.
Neither mental not physical devel-
opment should be retarded in our
school Each child should have full
opportunity to respond to the de-
mands which will be made upon him
or her in the ordinary duties Of
school life. Damp walls, insufficient
light and scarcity OF ventilation can
not conduce to the best that is in
a boy or girl, therefore the action
of this Board.

POSTMASTERS TO
AID In RECRUITING
"IF YOU DON'T SERVE IN FIGHT
ING LINE, GET OTHERS TO EN-
LIST" SAYS APPEAL.

Postmaster j. Walter Payne has re-
ceived a copy of the following meg
sage. similar ones having been mail
ed to the postmasters of eixty-eight
counties in the State, asking them tc
assist in speeding up recruiting for
the army:
Don't let Kentucky fall behind
with fighting men for the United
States Army. Kentucky has always
done its duty, so let the recruits for
the army come now at a time when
they are needed. Make up the num-
Der required. Make up a good fight
ing machine of Kentucky men, men
that count.
IF you can't serve in the fighting
line. do your bit by getting men to
enlist. Take all men between eigh-
teen and forty years. No married
men wanted at present. We want
good. real lighting men, especially for
the First Regiment. Now, do your
duty by your country, and send on
recruits. Let's make Kentucky count
in this war"
The War Department in its orders
Wednesday asked the Lexington re-
cruiting officers to speed recruiting
up to the maximum. The circulars
sent out to the postmasters carry the
approximate number of persons from
each county likely to be drafted in
the first call. In this vicinity the
list stands as follows: Fayette, l.
IT'S; Bourbon, 425; Nicholas county,
$50; Fleming county, 400; Madison
county, $50; Scott county, 425.

Is BOURBON IN
THE OIL FIELD?
SUCH is THE BELIEF OF PROS
PECT0RS AT WORK IN THIS
COUNTY.

That oil may soon be discovered in
Bourbon county is the belief of a
number of spectators and projectors
who have been actively at work in
this county in the Hutchinson vicin-
ity for several weeks past. These
operators are men who have had
long experience in the oil fields of
Pennsylvania. Ohio, Texas and Okla
homa, and their predictions that
there is oil in the section of Bour-
bon county referred to above may be
taken literally.
Mr.. George w. Easton, an expert
enced oil man, well driller and oper-
ator, Pennsylvania prospector, ap-
pears to be the leading spirit in the
search for the oily deposits which
ne believes lie in the bowels of the
earth in this county. Mr.. Easton
has been the most active man in Sc
curing leases for oil and mineral
rights on the farms in the Hutchi-
son vicinity where the developments
look most promising.
II was learned by THE NEWS man
this week that the owners of a very
large body of land lying in the
Hutchison vicinity have been ap-
preached at different times by opera
tors to lease the oil and mineral
rights on their lands. This is sup
Elementary to others which were re-
ported some weeks ago in the same
neighborhood.
Mrs. William Kenney stated that
leases have been offered to>several of
her neighbors, not only for oil and
mineral, but for natural gas rights
as well. She said that her own farm
o. seventy acres in the Hutchinson
neighborhood was one of the num-
Der that the operators had under con-
sideration. The leases are all in the
nominal terms of one dollar, and all
provides for the usual one-eighth
royalty upon all oil or gas marketed
1t was also stated that the extern
siye lands of the Charlton Alexander
heirs, Mr.. M. r. Jacoby, Mrs. Beat
tie and others in the same vicinity
are also under lease for the same pur-
pose. There has never been any eX-
tensive oil or mineral developments
in Bourbon county, although there
have been some gas wells, of small
production, which the land owners
Use for heating and lighting their
own houses. Several years ago a
furry was created in the North Mid
dIetown neighborhood by the discov-
cry of small pockets of oil on the
farm of the late Col. J. w. Prescott
and others in that vicinity, but the
developments were abandoned after
being worked but short time.

DEAR SIRS:-
At the request of Members Glen
denim and Hancock, of your Board, /
made a thorough inspection of the
City School building this morning.
At the same time I interviewed some
teachers as to the purely technical
part of their work.
/ am thoroughly satisfied that
teachers and pupils are not doing
their best work because OF the
crowded condition of the building
and the constant shifting, juggling
and mixing of children from room to
room.
found children in basement rooms; ;
these rooms were poorly lighted,
foul with stagnant air, walls damp
and even wet to sight and feel; at
least one room was permeated by
cCorrs from a lavatory. UP stairs
found children in narrow rooms
with light from but one side; saw
six and eight year old children bend
ing and twisting their backs and
bodies into all sorts of harmful posi-
tons at their desks in order to utii-
ize the insufficient light on a bright
sunshiny morning: on cloudy day
imagine they do everything but stand
on their heads. I would not allow
child of mine to attend your school II

TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION:

TO The BOARD OF EDUCA1lON.
At the request of Mr.. Cledenin, a
member of the School Board, / visited
the basement rooms in the CITY
School.
l found three school rooms, where
probably one hundred and twenty
five children spend five or six hours
per day, damp and chilly. though the
air was pleasant outside. found the
whole environment such as would not
tend to the Improvement of the
child, neither mentally nor physi-
cally. The rooms are half under the
ground Two of these three face
lavatories. and the air is vitiated
with bad doors; the ooms themselves
are ugly and gloomy, which has a
depressing effect on the child. None
of the rooms is at all such room
as any of our citizens would choose
for living room in his home. and
yet one hundred and twenty-five Of
our children. at the most impression
able age of their lives, spend in these
rooms six hours a day, twenty days
in the month for ten months in the
year.
Can you measure the injury done
those children?
