A WARMING.

The following warning notice has
been authorized for publication by
the police department of the city
of Paris and the local Council of De-
Tense, as means Of local self-de
tense in times of war:
1T is the duty of every loyal
American to be on the alert for
spies and disloyal people. Keep your
eyes and ears open. Take nothing
for granted. Energy and alertness
may be the means Of saving the
lives of your son, brother, or hus-
band, and perhaps others.
1.-THE enemy is engaged in making
war in this country, in transmitting
news to Berlin, and is spreading
peace propaganda, as well as lies
about the condition and morale of
the American military forces.
Whenever any suspicious act or
disloyal word comes to your notice,
communicate at once with the Paris
police department, either phone No.
IS, or with the Sheriff of Bourbon
county, or any other regularly con-
stituted guardian of the law. This

TRIBUTE TO POPULAR AND Eff

One of the most popular and capa-
BILE young men in Bourbon county
is Mr.. VIM. H. Webb, who fills the
Office Of Clerk of the Bourbon Cir
cult Court. Mr. Webb began his
career as carrier of the Cincinnati
Enquirer in Paris at the age of six
teen. -
Thursdays Courier-Journal pub
fishes a fine half-tone likeness Of
Mr.. Webb, with the accompanying
sketch, which is, but a modest esti-
mate of his real worth:
Starting his business career as a
newsboy when 16 years old, VIM.
H. Webb, of Paris, after serving his
patrons faithfully and satisfactorily
for six years, attending school in
the meantime, advanced to the posi-
ton of confidential bookkeeper for a
leading Paris firm, position which
he held for twenty-five years. Rec
ognizing his abilities he was Undue
ed by friends to make the race for
Clerk of the Bourbon Circuit Court.
to which Office he was elected for a
term of six years, and at the expira-
ton of his term was reelected with
out opposition. His success in life
is practically due to the fact that
the same careful attention to the
most minute details of his office as
Circuit Clerk and in his position as
bookkeeper was given to the sale
and delivery of his newspapers. His
motto through life has been THAT

Mills of the country" said Mr..

understanding born of a keen intel

impression that he would say: Il

as gracefully with the certain
knowledge he has of another re-
ward in another world than this!

EXTENSION TO AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY GRANTED TO FEB. Is

gave notice some days ago of an
agricultural survey through the
teachers, and / am sure great many
farmers must have forgotten, or
either neglected to respond as
heartily as they should. The time set
to finish this work was Jan. %, but
on account of obstacles, especially
the weather, the time has been ex-
tended for me to get this report in
by Feb. Is. This being true l want
to urge the farmers to make very
earnest effort to send me this report
in by the first of next week. If you
have received no blank write me and
/ will mail one at once. If you care,
to come to my office would be alright.
This is meant for every farm
operator or owner in the county that
has under his control whole farm.
The owner or operator gives in the
tenants part of the farm in order to
avoid duplication.
Upon the farmer depends, more
than almost any other group of
citizens, the final victory of America.
These problems are so great and so
sultation and cooperation among far
tUcIS, OIuSI IiidC IUc
ton may be evolved in a practical
way, and that method may be found
to bring to farmers that knowledge
that will fit them to understand and
solve these problems, both at the polls
and in conjunction with and by de-
mands upon public officials.
To fill out one of these blanks will
require practically none of your
time and is purely voluntary, patriotic
service which every farmer will be
only to glad to do if he will stop to
think just what it means. Wont you
please respond at once and do justice
to a worthy cause? The reward-a
solution to the labor situation by the
government and the consciousness of
doing your bit to make the world
safe for Democracy Other coun-
ties are responding gladly-why. not
