LYMAN HOWE'S PICTURES COM
ING ON SEPT. 9.

One of the striking features of
Lyman H. Howe's newest Travel
Festival program, which comes to
Paris Grand on Monday, Sept. 9, is
a sensational wild animal hunt in
the Rockies, in which a famous Mon
tana cowboy demonstrated how he
captures ferocious wild animals alive
with lasso.
Capturing Wild Animals Alive in
the Rockies is but one feature
among many of Mr.. Howe's latest
Travel Festival program. This year
Mr.. Howe takes audiences "up in
the air with the Marines" present
ing the most startling series of avi-
alton pictures ever filmed; through
quaint old Mexico; into the South
American jungles by canoe to Kai-
eteur Falls, five times as high as Nj
agara; and a ramble through South
ern France. There will also be a
reproduction, expertly animated in
clay, of the famous Red Cross poster
Greatest Mother in the World" as
we'll as a marvellous freak" filn
which reveals grotesque and puzzlins
scenic distortions. This is said to bt
something entirely new.
The usual amusing Howe animal
ed cartoons are again distinctive
part of the Travel Festival.

WAR INDUSTRIES BOARD RULES
ON FREE PAPERS.

The United States War Industries
Board recently issued strict regula-
lions requiring the discontinuance of
all free copies, including those to
soldiers and sailors, sample copies,
etc., by publishers of weekly
papers,"
1t now appears that this ruling
does not refer to publishers of week.
lies or semi-weeklies. THE NEWS
recently wrote to the War Industries
Board, explaining that, we were
sending out large number of free
copies of the paper to Bourbon
county soldiers whose relatives had
not subscribed for them, and asking
that we be permitted to continue
sending these papers to the soldiers
and sailors.
In reply we received a letter from
Mr.. T. E. Don1elley, Chief of the
Pulp and Paper Section of the War
Industries Board, saying that for the
present you may continue sending
your paper to the soldier boys" 1t
is evident, however, that the rules
will be extended soon to cover
the weeklies and semi-weeklies, as
Mr.. Donnelley further stated: with
out doubt regulations will be issued
shortly covering weekly papers at
which time copy will be sent you"
Until such time THE NEWS will
continue to go to the boys in the
camps and on the ships who do not
feel that they are able to subscribe
for it from their pay.

RED CROSS APPEALS FOR
TRENCH FOOT SLIPPERS

To the Women of Bourbon County;
!. In our quota for September 1, in
Red Cross work, is a request for 500
trench foot slippers (250 pairs.)
These slippers should be made of
velvet, velveteene, corduroy or heavy
cloth. They are then lined with out
ing flannel.
1t is impossible for us to buy the
necessary material and we are asking
the patriotic women of the county
to send us any garments or pieces
they have no use for, to be used in
this way. An old pair of cloth
trousers, or a coat, can be cut into
several parts, as the slippers can be
pieced.
We published an appeal some days
ago, but the response was so small
we have less than SO slippers made.
Are we to fail in this, as we have
done in nothing else? We have been
proud of our record up to this time.
May it always remain untarnished.
If any friend desires to buy a
remnant or piece of new material to
send in, it requires two-thirds of a
yard of 81 inch goods to make one
pair.
Send all material to the Red Cross
rooms, at the Court House, in Paris.
If it is more convenient for ladies
out in the country, materials may be
sent to Mrs. Annabelle Wallace, or
Mrs. D. c. Lisle, at Leesburg; Miss
Florence Hopkins, at Little Rock;
Mrs. Letcher Weathers, at Clinton
Vile, and Mrs. Jno. Collins, at North
Middletown.
