DELIVERY PROBLEMS CON.
FRONT WINCHESTER
GROCERS.

Winchester grocers are. getting
busy over the delivery problem,
which has been a cause of deep con-
Germ to more lines of business than
the grocers'. In writing of recent
meeting of the grocers held there
the Winchester. Sun says:
"a meeting of the grocers of the
city was held on. Tuesday night at
the grocery store of Todd-Glenn &
Company to discuss the advisability
of employing some person for the
purpose of making the delivery for
all the stores.
"On Wednesday. Mr.. Winston
Hart, of Paris, was in the city and
called upon the grocerymen in an
effort to secure the job of delivering
should they adopt the policy. Mr..
Hart has been running delivery
system in Paris the past year and
says that it has proved successful
and he sees no reason why 1t should
not be so in this city"

IKE ALL OTHER PRE-ELECTION
PREDICTIONS.

The Stanford Interior-Journal says
editorially of the fallacy of pre-elec-
ton Demonstrations:
1.-The opposition papers that were
asserting that Hon. Claude M.
Thomas would be elected Speaker as
easy as rolling off log are saying
very little since he was showed un-
der by the Governors choice. They
do not even claim that it was &C.
complished by bribery and promise
of Office and appear to take little
stock in the assertion of the fly-up-
the-creek from the Western part of
the State that an effort was made t.,
bride him to vote for Grove. We
trust the result of the contest will
leach the opponents a lesson and
that they will realize that Demo-
cratic success is not achieved by
fighting Democratic administrations.
especially when done purely for
spite"

MRS. ELLEN ARDERY FOUND
DEAD AT HER HOME.

Premonitions of impending trouble
caused Miss Ellen Towles, who is an
assistant in the Office Of DIR. Harry
E. Mathers. dentist, to go to the
home of her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Ar
derry, corner of Stoner avenue and
Vine street. yesterday afternoon,
after repeated efforts to get a re-
Spouse to telephone calls.
Miss Towles had used the tele-
phone at different intervals near
noon and after the dinner hour, 10
get her aunt's response over the
line, and failing, came to the con-
clusion that she might possibly be
at the home of neighbor. Acting
upon an impulse that could not be
defined, and fearing that something
had gone amiss, Miss Towles, about
three o'clock, went to the Ardery
home. Upon entering she was horri-
fed to find the body of Mrs. Ardery,
cold In death, lying on the floor of
the sitting room, where she had
fallen after receiving the sudden
summons. Miss Towles called Dr.
Mathers, who came at once, and
found that life was indeed extinct.
Coroner Rudolph Davis was called
and after hearing the statements of
the family and Miss Towles, decided
further investigation was unneces-
sary. 1t was learned that Mrs. Ar
derry had been subject to attacks of
heart trouble for some time. Coro-
ner Davis and the physicians gave it
as their opinion that Mrs. Ardery
had been dead at least two hours.
Mrs. Ardery was sixty years old,
and was formerly Miss Ella Adair.
She was the widow of the late Mr..
VIM. B. Ardery, prominent farmer
and President of the Bourbon-Agri-
cultural Bank, who died about two
years ago. She was the mother Of

BUT SLIGHT RELIEF IN WEATH
ER SITUATION.

There Is very little that is prom
Using in the weather situation, as
Paris is still snow-bound, ices
bound, and the grip of the weather
influences has but slightly loosened.
Following the thaw of Monday
night. when the streets became J.
mass of sodden slush and ice, with
streams Of water pouring down from
the side streets, the weather took
another whack at the temperature.
Tuesday morning the streets were
alm:c,st impossible. Ice and snow
covered streets made walking almost
out of the question. County ROADS
were blocked and ingress "a the city
practically ceased The snow was
piled in the center of Main street
to depth of ten inches, on top of
the frozen surface, almost cutting
of travel and delivery service Of any
kind. More snow succeeded that OF
Tuesday, and on Wednesday and
yesterday the prospect was exceed
ingly good for deeper supply of
snow.
Service on the Paris and Lexins-
ton lines OF the Kentucky Traction
and Terminal Company was COM
pletely suspended, following a vain
attempt Tuesday to clear the lines
for travel. The blockade was still
In force yesterday, no cars having
been operated since Tuesday.
Coal dealers held a meeting to
consider the advisability of securing
a supply Of coal from the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company, but
no definite action was taken. Nego-
tiations were afterward resumed
with the L. & N. Company by Mayor
January and County Judge Batter
ton by which it may be possible to
secure a supply of coal from that
company until arrangements can be
made for a permanent supply. Mr..
James H. Thompson, of Paris, Chair
man Of the local Fuel Administers.
ton Board, was in Louisville, We'd
nesday. in conference with the State
Fuel Administration heads.
The blockade due to the abnormal
weather conditions has almost effect
ed a tie-up for Paris, and the effect
on business is very noticeable. The
suspension Of service on the interur-
ban line and the difficulty Of reach
ing Paris by other means has had
the effect of making prisoners in a
way Of a large majority of the
country people, who do their shop
ping in Paris. Rural mail delivery
was also seriously affected, though
the carriers made energetic efforts
to serve their patrons.
DR.. William Kenney started in his
! auto yesterday morning for a pro-
fessional visit to a patient on the
Riddles Mills pike, several miles
from Paris. The machine became
stalled in a huge snow drift, and
was only extracted with the great
est difficulty. DR.. Kenney returned
to Paris and secured a one-horse
sled, on which he returned to the
scene of his adventure and was en-
abled to triumph over the weather

Yesterday the street cleaning de-
partment made heroic efforts to clear
the snow from Main street, being
partly successful Three farm wag-
ons and the city road scrapers were
kept busy nearly all day in making
a thoroughfare for travel. The
snow was carried away in wagons
and dumped. There's plenty left

FUEL COMMISSIONER ISSUES
DRASTIC ORDER TO CLOSE
MONDAYS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Amer-
ica's manufacturing enterprises
with but few exceptions, in all
States east of the Mississippi river
were ordered by the government to
night to suspend operations for five
days, beginning Friday morning, as
a drastic measure for relieving the
fuel famine.
At the same time as 8 further
means of relief it was directed tina,
industry and business generally, in
Guiding all normal activities that
require heated buildings observe as
a holiday every Monday for the next
ten weeks This will close down on
Mondays not only factories, but sa-
looms, stores, except for the sale OF
drugs and food, places of amuse-
ment and nearly all office buildings.
While the order does not mention
shipyards, it is known that they will
be permitted. to continue operations
as usual, although munitions plants
will be closed.
The governments move came en-
tirely without warning in an order
isused by Fuel Administrator Gar
field with the approval Of President
Wilson, prescribing stringent re-
strictions governing the distribution
and use of coal. 1t was decided
upon hurriedly by the President and
government heads as desperate
remedy for the fuel crisis and the
transportation tangle in the Eastern
States. Even munitions plants are
not excepted from the closing down
order. officials would not discuss the
far-reaching effect the action would
have on the industrial fabric, and
questions as to how the order was
to be interpreted to meet specific
problems went unanswered.
Besides shipyards and factories
producing foodstuffs the few excep-
lions to the general rule forbiddins
use of coal in the period specified
are plants which must be continu'
ously operated to prevent injury to
the plants themselves, newspaper
plants and printing establishment
which publish current and period
cal magazines.
On the Monday holidays. besides
manufacturing plants the following
consumers will be forbidden to ust
