the troops in France are being
worked out rapidly from shipping
point of view, the shipping board an
nounced in issuing call for five
thousand volunteers to man the ships
that will be used for that purpose.

NEW AUTO MAIL TRUCK SER
VICE A SUCCESS.

The new auto truck mail service
recently inaugurated by the Post
Office Department, which made its
first trip through Paris last Monday,
is proving a decided success, and
proving the wisdom of the authori-
ties in furnishing this mode of ac-
commodation for the urban popula-
ton of counties through which the
service passes. The trucks carry only
mail and parcel post packages, no
passengers.
These trucks are Of special con-
venience in carrying produce to the
markets. Any farmer along the route
of either line can stop the truck at
his gate and mail any parcels that he
desires. For instance, a crate of eggs
that costs ninety cents to transport
by express to Cincinnati, can be sent
by means of this truck to Cincinnati
for about sixty-one cents. The truck
stops. at the farmers gates to pick up
the crates, thus saving the farmers
a trip to town. The trucks will not,
however, deliver parcels anywhere
but at regular postoffices., The route
embraces two lines, for which the fC1-
lowing schedules have been ar
ranged:

GRAIN FIELDS SAVED FROM
FIRES.

During 1917 crops valued at $780,
600 were saved from destruction in
California through the fire-fighting
campaigns initiated through the
farm bureaus by county agents
throughout the State. A Ford auto
truck equipped with an extinguisher
and other fire-fighting apparatus
were purchased by one county by
levying an assessment of cents per
acre on its grain land. Fifty thous-
and dollars worth of grain were sew
ed in Stanislaus county alone through
its newly organized fire department.
San Diego led all the counties in fire

PARIS TOBACCO MARKET WILL
OPEN DECEMBER IL.

The Paris tobacco market, one of
the best in the State in the past, will
open on Wednesday, Dec IL, one
of the houses making the announce
ment that tobacco would be received
on its floors on Monday, Dec. 9.
Many formers and growers have
finished stripping their tobacco, and
are anxious for the opening of the
local market, so they may obtain
money to meet their war obligations
and other necessary expenses. Two
buyers for the large tobacco COM
panies are already here to await the
opening day.
BY the time the local market opens
all the tobacco in the county will
have been stripped and placed in con-
dition for handling. The weather for
the most part has been very favora-
BILE for this kind of work and some
of the crops are even now ready for
the warehouses. There have been no
spectators noted in the county. The
growers and handlers of the weed are
anticipating good prices. e.

CLAIM HANDKERCHIEFS HELP
SPREAD DISEASES. 4

Coughs and sneezes are not the
only spreaders of colds in epidemic
form-the handkerchief also is a
party to the crime.
Cotton bandanna of labor or the
hemstitched linen of milady are
equally guilty. Any handkerchief
saturated with the secretion from a
running nose is menace when used
over and over again, and especially
dangerous when it becomes dry and a
source of contagious dust.
Many people with bad colds blow
the secretion into a handkerchief
which is then wiped in and out of a
pocket, soiling it and and the hands
with the same secretion.
Why are these germ colds on the
increase now? Simply because in
mild weather when windows and
doors are open most of the time to
fresh air the fresh breezes ventilate
out houses and carry away germs.
Good ventilation means fewer
germs-germs diluted.
The cold season, however, will
bring over-heated, indoor, closed,
stuffed spaces with overcoming.
When people congregate in closed
air spaces they each contribute con-
tamination of dust and dirt from feet
and clothing and many of them con-

HOW TO CAN SPARE RIBS AND
s BACKBONE.

Miss Lucy B. Simms, Bourbon
County Chairman Woman's Depart
ment of Food Administration. has re-
ceived the following instructions
from State headquarters:
University of Kentucky, College of
Agriculture, Extension Division, Lex
ington, KY, Nov. 5, 1918.
CANNING OF SPARE-RIBS AND
BACK-BONES.
Many requests have come for the
best method of saving spare-ribs and
back-bones, which country people
have in large quantities at hog-kill-
ing time. In Kentucky, weather is
so variable that few days of higher
temperature may occur at any time
during the winter, and even though
spare-ribs and back-bones have been
well sailed they acquire a bad flavor
unless used promptly. The temperate
winter climate of Kentucky has here
tofore occasioned great extravaganza
and waste, also much sickness from
excessive use of fresh meat.
For several weeks after hog-killing
country people eat fresh pork three
times a day in order to use the sup
ply before it spoils. The Food Ad-
ministration now requires a conser-
walton of meat and the following re
cipe is offered as a means of extend
ing the family supply of spare-ribs
and back-bones throughout the year:
Use as large roasting pan as will
at the oven and fill it with spare
ribs and backbones. Salt and pepper
to taste and add little water, bast-
ing frequently and evenly until they
are thoroughly done and nicely
Drowned as &c for immediate table
use. Remove from oven and cut meat
place 1T in quart glass jars that have
been previously eterilized. Fill all
spaces and to the brim Of the jar with
some of the liquid Of the roasting pan.
Place in rubber ring, lid and clamp in
position, but do not close spring of
clamp or screw Mason lid tight. Place
Jars in oven, either on the rack plac-
ed one or two inches from bottom of
oven or else in a dripping pan with
a cloth laid on the bottom and add
two inches of water. Heat the oven
to about 800 degrees F: or about as
it should be for baking bread. Leave
Jars IN the oven dI IHlS IeihPSAosNAS
for As minutes. Remove from oven
and tighten lids completely. Invert
jars to test seals and protect them
from a cold draught. Let cool grad
ually. 1t is necessary to use rub
Der ring that will stand this heat.
The Good Luck" or Gold Pack" are
recommended.
NOTE.-Meat must be canned
within three days after butchering:
earlier if temperature is above freez-
ing.
When ready to use, heat the meat
in the jar and serve on platter, sur
rounding the mold Of meat with
steamed rice or mashed potatoes.
Sausage may be saved by using
the above method after the cakes or
links have been fried.

THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT

| News comes from Holland that the
former Kaiser has decided to live in
Holland and buy large estates there.
While our troops are over there it
would not be bad idea under such
circumstances to give Holland a
whaling for permitting such brute
to have Judgment there. However,
there are extradition laws that will
get the beast, if it is decided that he
shall be tried for the most colossal
crimes in history.

CHILD PROBABLY FATALLY
BURNED AT GEORGETOWN.

Martha Pingle, six-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. James Pingle. of
Georgetown, was probably fatally
burned Tuesday afternoon, and James
Parker, blacksmith, was severely
burned about the hands in trying to
save the child's life.
Mrs. Pingle left her home on Court
street to market, leaving the little
girl at home alone. AS the child
passed the open crate, it is thought
she tried to reach the mantel. when
her dress caught on fire. She ran into
the street, her clothes in flames. Par
ker, who was passing, rushed to her
assistance and smothered the flames
with his coat. ~.

MAYOR JANUARY ENDORSES SOL
DIERS MEMORIAL PROJECT



To Bourbon Citizens:
/ am aware of the move quietly
launched few weeks ago by the com
mittee in charge Of the Soldiers To.
bacco Fund to secure means with
which to erect suitable monument
in Paris, to the memory of Bourbon's
patriots, who gave their lives in the
great war just closed, and desire to
add my earnest and unqualified en-.
dorsement of same.
The Soldiers Tobacco Fund Com.
mittee inaugurated the Soldiers To.
bacco Fund when war was declared
The purpose of this fund, as frequent
ly stated by members of the commit
tee, was to literally supply all Bour.
bon soldiers with their favorite
brands of cigars, cigarettes, chewing
tobaceos, etc., not only while en-.
training for an Army Camp, but also
whenever the Bourbon soldier re-
quested such articles regardless as to
where he was located.
This committee, through the liber-
atty of Bourbon citizens, has fully
discharged their original purpose and
every Bourbon County select as well
as volunteers in the service, have
been the recipients of these COM
forting gifts from the Tobacco Fund
Committee, throughout the duration
of the war.
The committee has not confined its
efforts alone to tObaccos however,
but in many cases has supplied
candies, toilet articles, wearing ap-
parel, etc., to say nothing of the meals
and lodging furnished on different oc-
casions. Then too, the Soldiers Tobac-
co Fund Committee has thoughtfully,
and most appropriately, spent quite
sum of money for flowers for the
graves of all our boys who have died
in army training camps recently. The
same fund has also provided badges
and other necessary incidental sup
plies for Bourbon selects.
The Soldiers Tobacco Fund Com
mittee, composed from the beginning
of Messrs. Bruce Miller, Pearce Patton
and Lewis T. Lilleston, while having
almost served the purpose for which
it was originated am told, is entirely
free from debt, and for several weeks
has been quietly continuing it's eff
forts for subscriptions for the pur-
pose Of erecting a durable and
suitable monument in Paris to the
memory of Bourbon's patriots whose
lives were given in defense Of their
country.
The committee has gone about its
work quietly, due to their desire not
to interfere with the present War
Work Campaign, and they expect
soon to unfold to the people of Bouf.
bon County their future aims and
purposes.
This new monument by the Soldiers
Tobacco Fund Committee is a most
commendable and practical move
ment. One that should and no doubt
will, meet with the great success it
justly deserves.
In behalf of this worthy movement,
/ desire to ask that every citizen of
Paris and Bourbon County give to
this highly worthy movement, that an
appropriate memorial may be erected
to the memory of our war heroes. /
am confident that the committee will
at the proper time, unfold its plans
fully to the public and / can un-
hesitatingly commend the movement
as worthy of everyone's support.
Respectfully,
E. B. JANUARY, Mayor,

LESS MEAT, BETTER HEALTH

Physicians agree in the verdict that
the average American community is
in better health than it was year
ago. This is ascribed partly to the
diminution of the quantity of meat
consumed in response to the appeals
of the Food Administration and to
the corresponding increase in the
vegetable diet.

Hero of Naval Disaster.

The man with the smile and the

spirits of his fellows in the hour OK
danger-here is the man of heroism.
And it is for just this quality that
praise is given to Lieut.. John X. Rich
ards, u. S. N, who was one of the
officers on the torpedo destroyer Jacob
Jones. The reports of her sinking
brought thrilling story Of her COM
mander, her officers and his men, or
their bravery and loyalty to the last
moment, all equal to the best tradl-
tons Of the American navy. Lieut..
Richards, the gunnery officer, was left
In charge Of all the RATS. At this post
it was noticed that through all the or
deal he was cool and cheerful, putting
heart into the men about him and max
ing them all more able to stand the
strain. Lieut.. Richards is native OF
Ironton, o., and was born In 1891. He
entered the naval academy In 1907,
and five years later was made ensign.
In 1915 he became Junior lieutenant
and was temporarily appointed lieuten-
ant in 1917.

ANGRY FANS DO NOT
SCARE CONNIE MACK
Athletic Manager Is Only Leader
Who Dare Defy Bugs.
Squeamishness Not Found in Human
Filament From Philadelphia When
1t Comes to Disposing of Most
Popular Player.

One of the distinctions wrenched
from a reluctant fate by the indom-
table Connie Mack is that Of being
the only leader in baseball history with
nerve enough to defy home fans by
selling popular players.
Only recently was presented the
spectacle of Branch Hickey worrying
himself sick over the problem Of what
to do with q fabulous offer for Horns
by, player who may prove to be over
rated or who may be caught in the
draft age ere the 1918 campaign is
over.
Common sense told Hickey that the
absurd money proffer ought to be
snatched up without debating the mat
ter for more than wink's time, yet
fear that the fans would accuse him OF
wrecking the clubs pennant chances
forced him to put all thoughts Of sell
ing Rogers into the background
against his better judgment, IL may be.
No such squeamishness was to be
found in the human filament from
on worlds championship machine
and wrecked it before the very eyes OF
the astOunded mob. He has continued
to dismantle it ever since, has de-
nuded it of almost the last vestige or
it's former greatness. He survives, he
has bank roll and owns an inexpen-
sive team and will be financially forti-
fled better than most of it's rivals, IL
the worst comes because of the war.
However, Connie had his clientele
on the trip when he smashed and bat
tered down this great baseball club!
He knew before he began the destruc-
tion that there was no comeback at
him because of third and even less
enviable distinction that had attached
to his Athletics-that of having been
the only worlds championship team in
modern history to go through the sea-
son money loser!
Back into the teeth of the Philadel-
phia fans Connie hurled it, when re-
preached for breaking up his team.
"What do you carer" he snarled. Il
gave you a worlds championship club
and you wouldn't patronize it. Good
night" No st. Louis clubowner, about
to sell star, would have the moral
support of a similar lack Of popular
interest to fall back upon. st. Louis
fans have always given st. Louis clubs
splendid support at the slightest en-
enlargement. That's why Hickey de-
cides to keep Hornsby instead of the
5000 more or less--that Weeghman
threw on the table.
