SLING Tennis POPULAR
CANE AT The front

Sling tennis is one OF the new
games developed by the war.
It has gained great popularity in
European camps and behind the lines
where It is impossible to secure prop
erly levelled court surfaces on which
to play regular tennis.
The court is regulation size and
IS marked tfe same as regulation
courts. Either a soft ball. without re-
siliency or a bag filed with pebbles
OF beans is used.
Regular racquet frames are used
strung with cord forming a pocket
inside, somewhat resembling Ia
crosse club.
The ball is tossed out OF the rae
quet with a swinging motion, the
object being to keep It of the ground.

NEW YORK, July 2O.-More and
more the efforts of Connie Mack. silent
leader of the Athletics, are gaining
respect among the big leaguers. The
prediction made my himself when he
began to whittle OF the stars with which
he had won several worlds champion
ships, that he would be back in the race
in 1917, has not been realized. but he
has succeeded in making the name Phila-
delphia once more one to be feared in
the american League.
Discussing Mack and his newly made
team recently. Bill Donovan said that
he would rather play almost any club
in the league than send his men into a
contest against the Mackmen.
"Ihev won't win any pennant this
year" Donovan commented. "but they're
going 10 fight mighty hard for every
game they 60 into. From this time on
they're going 10 improve. I'm a mighty
mistaken student of this national
pastime IF the Athletics are not found
kicking considerable dust around before
the end Of the 1918 campaign gets here"

SHE CHOOSES A MAXWELL.


Possessed of regular fleet of high
powered motor. cars, Miss Charlotte
Walker, society belle of San Fran
cisco. whose fame as a motoring tour
list extends to all parts of the. United
States, chooses a Maxwell touring
car for mountain work in preference
to the much higher priced motors.
1.-The ease of control and sturdy
power of the Maxwell are ideal for
the different trials in the Hills" Miss
Walker says.
She asserts the Maxwell takes the
steep inclines much better than any
of her other possessions. She has
toured over the Rockies, the Selkirks,
Grand Canyon, White Mountains
and visited nearly all the beauty
spots in the United States and Can
ada. Motoring to inaccessible places
is a much stronger hobby with Miss
Walker than the usual society diver
,sions to most young women.
She is now planning several very
difficult trips for the early fall sea-
son. (adv)

ROADS CONTINUE POLICY OF COM
WANDERING COAL.

In view of threatened shortage OF
coal, the louisville & Nashville rail
road and other roads are continuing
their. policy of Communicating coal
wherever they can get it.
w. L. Mapother, vice president OF
the L. & IN, said almost every road in
the country had been compelled to do
this because the Government expect
ed that the trains be kept running.
His road is paying for the coal at
prices fixed by the Government, ex-
cept in cases where contracts exist
between the road and the mine oper-
ators. Instead of having large sup
ely on hand, as railroads generally
do, they have been facing shortage
for several months. 1t is asserted
that this Communicating is not in
violation of the law.

To The Public!

The merchants of Paris recently
signed agreements to close their
stores as follows: Grocery stores at
Z 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 its 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 8
hours per day. This you will agree
is exactly right. But why then
should We expect a merchant to
work from a. m. to 10 or even IL
p. M, or from IL to Is hours per
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 we'll 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-
chases accordingly? :
To those merchants who have SO
far failed to close their stores as
promptly as they agreed, we appeal
again, "For the good of all, as well
as your own welfare, let us stand to-
gether and work like one man."
To those merchants who so far
have 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 it
right.

Robert M. Lafollette may think he
enjoys a certain immunity from legal
responsibility for his utterances by
reason of the fact that hei is United
States Senator. But even a Senator
is not immune from punishment for
treason, and if some of Lafollette's
recent remarks are not reasonable
the average man will fail to see any
distinction. There is no question but
that Lafollette is affording laid and
comfort to the enemy" of the United
States, and has been doing so ever
since we went to war with Germany
Possibly the government has taken
no official notice of his seditious ut
terances on the theory that if he is
given enough rope he will hang him
self. Certainly he has earned the
contempt of every American who is
unsmirched with the pitch of disloy-
atty.
1t is incomprehensible, however,
why the Senate does not take steps to
purge itself of this disloyal member
of its august body. 1t has ample
precedent. for five United States Sen
ators have. at various times, since
the birth of the nation, been expelled
by the votes of their colleagues, and
in each instance their offense' was
disloyalty. If Senatorial courtesy
is the excuse for failure to take
cognizance of Lafollette's disgrace
full and dangerous conduct that an
cient pretext has outworn all tolera-
ton Senatorial courtesy" to the
winds. This is time for men to ex-
hibit their manhood This is time
for loyalty above everything. Out
with the traitors-every one. 1t is
high time for the United States Sen
ate to clean house.

Business and professional men land
salaried men as well, who have In
comes of more than $4,000 a year,
face war profits tax of per cent.
in addition to the income surtaxes
under the provisions of a section
which has been discovered in the war
tax bill.
The section was not introduced on
the floor nor discussed in either
house of Congress, but was inserted
by the conferees while they were
working in secret session to bring
out the perfected bill.
The war profits tax section of the
bill lays tax of 8 per cent. on the
net income of business or trade"
when it exceeds $4,000 year in the
case of corporation and $4,000 in
the case of partnership or an indi-
vidual. A subsequent section, just
discovered, declares that a trade or
business" includes professions and
occupations"
In the opinion of members of the
Ways and Means Committee that Ian
guage hits every doctor or lawyer or
other professional man and every sal
aired employee who has an income
large enough to come under its pro-
visions.
Internal revenue experts, while
they have not ruled formally on the
question, are inclined to believe that
the language permits of no other in
depreciation. If it stands, profess
sional, business and salaried men will
pay two taxes on their incomes.

Beware of Centipedes!

"A family thinks it has modified
Its home protective forces to the full
when it has set up a watchdog, a
cat, a canary, a rubber plant, a war
garden and a fly swatter. These are
all very well as far as they go, but
the world has been moving swiftly,
and the most progressive and ef1ci-
emit households now have added the
house centipede = vulgarly called
the thousand legged worm"-to
their forces. We learn from a re-
Gent monograph on insects that:
AN examination of the head OF
the centipede will reveal a pair of
strong Jaws that are used against
enemies and for the purpose OF cap
turing small insects Tor food. 1t con-
siders the fly a great delicacy. and
besides this, it eats fieas, mosqui-
toes, moths, reaches and other small
household pests. The house centipede
has seldom been known to bite a-per-
son, and if, in self-defense 1t should
