handsome compliment. The girls
crowded around to view the contents

"Oh, dear! it's too lovely. Mr.. AL

Auto License plates Scarce.

The usual calmness of the Hon. II.
G. Freeman, in charge of the automo-
bile license department is shaken by
the reports from the manufacturers OF
automobile license plates. These peo-
pie report that on account of the ex-
IRENE difficulty of securing metal for
the plates they can not promise when
they can fill the orders for South Da-
kota. Mr. Freeman was to have re-
ceived 10000 plates on December i,
and 10000 more on January /. He has
in fact received 10000 plates to date
with the glad news that there are 1900
somewhere on their way here.

1t was Grandma Gregory's seven
tieth birthday and the ambitious. bust
ling old lady arose early and sat up
late to duly celebrate the occasion. All
day long her favorite niece, Alma Win
ston, was at her side and because they
loved Alma, half dozen of her closest
chumS brought presents to her aged
relative and gave Grandma Gregory
what she called the happiest, merriest
time of her whole life.
With eventide every pretty lass had
beau and Alma two of them. Ar
thur Gourley came first. He was q
good deal of a fop and sometimes Alma
made fun of him. He was well mean
ing however, and Alma could not help
but feel tender towards him when he
presented her grandmother with a
lovely bunch of American beauty
roses.
No one ever made fun of Bryce Al
den, however. lie was one of the de-
pendable ones. rather too sedate, some
of the Eighty maids said, but when sys-
TEN and order came in as elements in
their pleasures or duties Bryce Alden
was the burden bearer. He was Il
great favorite of Grandma Gregory.
On the present occasion he made her
his ardent friend for life.

PRAYERS TO BE OFFERED FOB
SUCCESS OF AMERICA.

At meeting of a number of the
men of the Presbyterian church con-
gregation held in this city some
nights ago, Mr.. Charles B. Mitchell.
in the course of an address, offered
the suggestion that meetings be held
for the purpose of Offering prayers,
for the success of American arms in
the world-war now going on. The
idea was deemed an excellent one,
and a special meeting was held, at
which prayers were offered.
The suggestion was also made to
the ladies of the congregation, and
like the other meeting, the sugges-
ton bore fruit instantly. The first
meeting was held at the home Of
Mrs. Robert j. Nicely, on Vine
street, at which eighteen were pres
emit. Each one took part in the
meeting, and each one offered fer
vent prayer for the success Of the
Allied arms in the war. 1t was de
cided after discussion of the sub
ject to hold meetings every morning
in the week. Arrangements are be-
ing made to have the members Of the
congregation notified of the hour for
the morning service, when silent
prayer for the success of the Allies
and America will be offered by each
one.

NOT TO PR0FTTEER, BUT TO
EXIST.

We wish to recall to the public q
few facts concerning this company
and it's consumers.
In 1909 the Paris Electric Co.
purchased of the City of Paris, KY,
franchise to do business. In this
franchise the city gave to the Elec-
trio Company certain rights AMI
privileges in return for the purchase
price and other considerations.
Among these privileges to the
Electric Co. was the right to charge
a maximum net price of 12c per X.
W. H. to private consumers and $50
per year for the old style arc lamp
and $25 per year for SO C. P. lamps
to the city for street lighting pur-
poses. These prices were establish
ed after careful investigation and
considered fair to both parties at
that time and as proof that they
could not have been exorbitant the
stockholders of the old company
which had been in operation for
more than 20 years, sold their stock
at approximately zoe on the dollar.
The present owners have operat-
ed the plant since 1912 and after
spending a considerable sum of
money to improve the service and re-
duce operating expenses gave VOL
UNFAIRLY two reductions, both to
the city and consumers and now be-
cause of the extraordinary advances
in all Of our operating expenses due
to war conditions. we feel that the
majority of our consumers will SEE
the justice in the slight advance IN
our rates, and especially as these
prices are still below the limit In
our franchise and below what they
were before we secured the company,
