A peculiar state of affairs has de-
veloped in connection with the open
ing Of the county schools at Spears
Mill and Hutchinson. Owing to the
high cost of living and necessity for
conservation, the teachers of these
schools have been unable to obtain
boarding places in the neighborhoods,
and have resigned.
When appealed to by the school
trustees in behalf of the teachers,
residents of the neighborhood are
said to have politely but firmly re.
fused to take them into their fami-
lies as boarders, on the plea that they
could not afford the extra expense at
tached to it, and the war prices they
would have to pay for the necessary
supplies.
Miss Margaret Terry recently of
Paris, now a resident of Lexington,
has sold her residence at $50 Wood
land avenue, in that city, to Mr.. j.
w. Scott, Jr., of Lexington. The
home will be occupied by Prof. Ed
ward West and daughter, lately of
Vermont, who will be one of the in
structors at Kentucky University.
Possession will be given on Septem-
Der 10.

EXTENSION OF UTILITIES
Should Be Curtailed Until After the
War Committee Urges.

WASHINGTON, Sept. EVERY
extension of the a street car line,
electric lighting system, water main,
street paving of other public utility
enterprised not absolutely essential
to the war should be postponed until
peace times, said the Governments
Capital Issues Committee in a letter
sent to-day to aH-State Public Util-
ity Commissions. These State bodies
were urged not only to frown upon
additions and betterments requiring
capital expenditures, but also to re-
move from public service corpora
lions, if possible, the necessity of
carrying out contract or franchise
obligations which might be dispenS-
ed with the war emergency.
The letter was the first of several
planned by the Capital
Issues Committee, in cooperation
with the Treasury and other financial
agencies, to draw tighter the nations
purse strings and prevent by a volun-
tary, though effective, method of
supervision the dissipating of capital
in less essential enterprises.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

Hay SHIPPERS MUST SECURE
LICENSE FOR SHIPPING.

In a bulletin issued to the farmers
of the State by Federal Food Admin
istrator Fred NJ. Sackett, of Louis
vile, they are warned that those who
are engaged or expect to be engaged
in buying and shipping hay must Sc
cure a Federal Food license before
doing so. A copy of the bulletin,
which reads as follows, has been re-
ceived by County Food Administra-
tor Lawrence Mitchell, of North
Middletown, and given to the press:
ITO All Shippers of Hay:
1.-The United States Food Admins
tration finds that many persons en-
gagged in shipping hay have not yet
applied for license.
LAS all hay shippers are included
in the license proclamation Of the
President, and are required to apply
for and secure a license before doing
any business in buying and selling
hay under heavy penalties for failure
to make such application, am anx-
ious that every one whose business
falls within this designation should
should make immediate application,
if they have not already done so, to
the License Division of the Food Ad-
ministration at Washington, d. c.,
for such license.

BOY BROWNS WHILE IN BATH
ING IN HOUSTON CREEK.

In full view of four or five COM
rades. who had accompanied him
there, and who vainly endeavored to
render him assistance, Will Ray NAL
Tory. aged thirteen, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Mallory, of Twenti-
eth street, this city, was drowned
sunday afternoon while bathing in
Houston creek, near Kenney, this
county.
Young Mallory and his companions
left the Mallory home some time
early in the afternoon, with the in
tention of going for walk. They
proceeded along the railroad for sew
eral miles, until they came to Hous-
ton creek, near Kenney, at a point
which seemed to promise good bath
ing. All went in the stream and
were getting along very nicely until
suddenly a cry of distress was heard
from the Mallory boy, who was out
some distance from the others. Sew
eral of the boys started to his assist
ance. but he went under to a wa
terry death before they could reach
him Mallory is said to have been a
very good swimmer, and the suppo-
sition was that he had been seized
with cramps, which rendered him
helpless.
The alarm was given at neighbor-
ing farm house by the boys, and sew
eraI farm hands responded. The
body was recovered some distance
from where it had gone down, by one
of the men, who had been using a
graphing hook for the purpose. Ply
sicians hastily summoned, brought
with them a pulmotor, with which
they endeavored to catch even a
heeting breath of life, but the boy
had been under the water too long,
and their efforts were of no avail.
The boys father, Mr.. John w. NAL
Tory, was in Lexington at the time of
the accident, visiting one Of his
daughters, who is ill in one of the
hospitals. He was summoned home
by a long distance message telling
of the tragic occurrence. The boys
body was taken to the Mallory home,
and prepared for burial.
The funeral will be held at, the
family home, near Twentieth street,
tomorrow "wednesday morning, at
7:45 o'clock, with services conducted
by Rev. w. e. Ellis, pastor of the
Paris Christian church. The body
will be taken to Elizabeth, in Flem-
ing county, where after a short SER
vice by Rev. T. B. Howe, it will be
placed in its last resting place in the
Elizabeth Cemetery. Besides his par
ents, young Mallory is survived by
one sister, Miss Opal Mallory, and
two half-brothers, Robert and Joseph
Letcher, both of whom are in the
service of the United States in the
army.

military service, probably two-thirds

ages of Is to 81.
Gen. March has said all regis
trants called into the army will be

REFRESHING SHOWERS BRING
RELIEF TO PARCHED EARTH.

Refreshing showers of the past
few days have broken the serious
drouth which has prevailed for the
past three weeks. The drouth was
especially severe in some sections of
this county. where springs and
branches had completely dried up
and pastures scorched by the fierce
August sunshine
Late corn, potatoes and some gar
den truck were helped by the recent
rains, but the earlier corn has mostly
matured, and the rain, therefore.
came too late to benefit it. The to-
bacco continues to mature prema-
turely, and much of it is being cut
to save it, but what is left is i'm
proved by the late rains. There has
been no blowing as yet for the fall
planting. Pastures, which were al
most entirely destroyed during the
drouth. are again shining green. The
fall pasturage will mean a big saving
in food stuff for the winter.

SCOUTS LARGEST WORLD BODY

Do people generally know that the
Boy Scouts of America is the greatest
single volunteer organization in the
world? 1t was the largest organization
taking part in the two campaigns for
the Liberty loan. There are millions
of scouts all over the world, in every
country.
Since America went to war the
things that have happened to the Boy
Scouts of America and the part that
boy scouts all over the globe have
been called upon to play in pressing
forward the activities that will win
this war have made an epoch In the
boy life of this land and of the world.
War conditions demand an increase
in numbers and efficiency. There
should be 100000 Boy Scouts Of
America in the country. There would
be that number If men who may not go
to the front would undertake at home
this work of practical patriotism. The
boys who are not yet scouts are just
as anxious to serve the nation as the
boy scouts who are.
The president of the United States
has given scouting definite place in
the national affairs.

WHAT SCOUTING REALLY IS

Scouting Is the process of making
real men out of real boys, by real
program which works.
Scouting Is a happy, wholesome,
orthwhile, outdoor school.
Scouting Is huge. splendidly or
| ganized game, a progressive game 1t
gets somewhere.
Scouting is more than game. 1t
teaches signaling and first aid and
fire fighting and outdoor cookery and
host of other useful and important
things. It teaches also self-reliance
and helpfulness, courage and courtesy,
loyalty and reverence, patriotism and
honor.
Scouting Is nonsectarian, though its
ideals are in accord with those of the
modern church and 1t Is based upon n
pledged allegiance to the service OF
God, the brotherhood Of man.
Scouting is not organized for war
service, not yet exclusively for peace
service. 1t Is organized for service, all
service, any service. high or humble,
big or litt'e-just service.
Scouting inculcates patriotism
which holds itself ready to serve coun-
try In whatever form the need and the
call may come. Preparedness Is the
scout platform.
Scouting is democratic. 1t aims not
to run every boy into one groove, but
to help each to develop into the fullest
manhood Of which he is capable.
Scouting also knows no bounds of
class, or creed or race. 1t speaks the
universal language of world boyhood.
The end and aim of scouting is good
citizenship, to make men physically
strong. mentally awake, morally
straight"
