The advance Of the week was based mainly
on the widespread demand for sp.s and the

The Lack of Skilled Labor.

A man connected with concern
now making war material remarked 4
few days ago, that it seemed almost
impossible to get enough skilled work
men. He found that there is a good
deal of help that can be had. But
only a fraction of the applicants are
men who can do high grade of me-
chanical adjustment.
In rush times almost any kind of an
employe can get work. His inferior
product slips along. The inspector
may see its defects. But when custo-
mers are clamoring for delivery of or
ders, many faults slip through that
ought not to pass.
In the dull times of the past few
years, inferior workmen have found
themselves left out of the shuttle. If
there was work for only a part of the
force, the skilled man was kept at the
bench, while the less efficient man
was informed that there was nothing
doing. No complaint might be made
of the quality of his work. But some
how there was never anything for
him.
Just now the rush of war orders is
providing for many men whose product
is of inferior quality. But when war
orders stop, and before the norma!
trade of peace times is re-established.
there will be many an idle day for the
second rate artisan. These conditions
are true not merely of workmen in
the lines making war material, but III
all lines of mechanical employment.
The young mechanic should put
some brains into his work. He should
study the philosophy of mechanica.
processes and physical forces, and
learn the one perfect way of perform
ing every motion. If some of the time
spent in discussing socialism and base.
ball were spent in getting information
about the best methods of producing
the desired mechanical results, there
would be more meat for the family
table and more clothes for the kidlets
Also in every trade there are practical
books of technical science that give
good ideas. If they can not be had in
a mans own town, they can be bor-
rowed at slight cost from circulating
libraries.

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Paris People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suffer
ing. Day after day they are racked
with backache and headache; suffer
from nervousness, dizziness, weak
ness, langour and depression. Per
haps the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of filtering the blood
and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys, assist
them in their wOrk-give them the
help they need. You can use no more
highly recommended remedy than
Doans Kidney Pills-endorsed by peo-
pie all over the country and by your
neighbors in Paris.

SAFETY FIRST

Just so you will not forget it. We
say it one time more: You will be
missing much of the pleasure AM
much of the profit of farming this
year if you do not raise most of your
living at home. Milk and butter,
chickens and eggs, lard and bacon
fruit and vegetables-these things are
an ESSENTIAL part of the best farming.
Begin right now to plan for-and
when the weather admits to prepare
fora good garden. There's no use
living on the farm, anyway, if one can
not have an abundance of fresh vege
tables to eat. AS for fruit, if you
have no trees or vines or bushes grow
ing now, you can't get fruit this year
You still have plenty of time to set
out some of these things. however, and
be prepared for better living another
year.
When it comes to bread and meat
and feed for the live stock, the one
safe plan is to raise just as much a.
possible of it at home.
This suggestion, applicable to farm
ers everywhere, is especially com
mended to readers this year and let
other things go.
To provide living at home is safe
ty whatever the weather or the war
may be or do; to risk getting a living
from high-priced cotton is a gamble
any year and doubly a gamble this
wear

FARMERS BUSY GETTING
HEMP CROPS READY

The breaking OF rneir hemp crops
in absorbing the attention of those
farmers of Bourbon county who rails
cd the staple on their lands the past
year. This work is considerably be
hind owing to the GGy weather in the
fall, which was unfavOrable to the
proper rottening OF the crop, and the
continued cold weather which has
made breaking almost impossible.
AS a consequence only small part
of the crop has been broken out.
Farmers throughout the county are
paying hemp breakers two dollars per
hundred, and it is thought this UMPIRE
cedented price will supply all the
hands available for the work, and that
as soon as favorable weather comes
along the work OF breaking will be
pushed as possible. Bourbon county
now has about 1,200 acres of hemp
and the staple is selling at S13.75 per
hundred, the highest price ever paid
in this county.

lincoIn's Example and the Poor Boy.
In the many addresses given at
celebrations in honor of Abraham Lin
coins birthday February u, one
thought that is always emphasized is
that of the humble origin of the great
war president The lesson is enforced
that lowly surroundings are no bar IL
advancement. and that they often slim
ulate the ambitious boy TO surmount
obstacles.
While this is perfectly true in rare
cases, yet usually the boy from the
home as humble as Lincoln's starts in
under a terrible handicap. He is put
10 work after meager schooling, as
sweeping I'D floors in some mill, pick
ing up coal in a mine. or at any task
where brains are not called for. There
is nothing in his work to stir his am
bition or develop his mental powers.
Most children of this type go Ia
work before they are physically ready
for it. Their lives are spent in a
weary day dream. in which the only
bright spots are the feeding times
These are likely TO be meager and
unsatisfying If a spark OF ambition
exists in such a mind il is soon blot
ted out
A future generation will see what
a dead weight is hung on the State
by neglect of these young lives and
liberation of unwholesome working
conditions In some of them are the
germs of great futures. Lincoln ever
with his humble home. lived health
tul open air life, which many of ous
children never have. Lincoln might
never have been heard from, had he
been put in a mill at II or IA years o.
age.
A child at this period can add bat
little to the means of his family. BY
keeping in school and preparing him
self for better work and better citi
renship, he can add much to the wei

IT IS GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT A DECLARATION OF
 WAR WILL FOLLOW.

Immediately Afterwards the Treasury Department Ordered the Seizure or All Austrian Merchant Ships in
 American Waters.

hington-Ranging herself un- reservedly with Germany, Austria Hungary has severed diplomatic re- lations with the United States, pre- cipitating a situation which generally is expected here to lead to war
 Baron Erich Zweidinek, the Aus trian charge, asked the State Depart ment for passports for himself, his staff, and the Austrian consul force In this country; and, simultaneously American Minister Stovall reported from Berne that Austria had announc- ed the break in relations to the Amer ican embassy in Vienna.
 Immediately the Treasury Depart ment ordered the seizure of all Aus trian merchant ships in American harbors. The Austrian crews were taken off and sent to immigration sta board. The measure was explained as purely one of precaution, but it may be interpreted by Austria as an act of war. In similar situation after the break with Germany, no ships were seized until a state of war had been declared.
 Officials generally believe that soon CT or later Bulgaria and Turkey will do so. Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff called on Secretary Lansing to ask if this government had any information from Sofia, but was told none had been received. Both Bulgaria and Turkey are believed here to be weary of the war, but German domination of the Central European alliance is ev. pected to drive them, as it drove Austria
 Twelve ships were taken over iii ports along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Examination showed that the crews had damaged the machinery of practically all in the same way crews of German ships seized last week had done. The ships seized were:
