Our committee is very hopeful

SHALL WE DO LESS FOR OUR SOL
DIERS?

If the motive of thrift does not ap-
peal to you in the matter of pur-
chasing War Savings Stamps, con-
slider the appeal of your patriotism.
Our country is engaged in a terrible
war. Thousands of our brothers are
enduring the miseries of camp life
and the fearful strain and danger of
the trenches. Thousands of them will
offer their lives, other thousands will
be MANNED or crippled or injured in
health. The country needs money to
maintain them and to make their
service effective. The War Savings
Stamps and Certificates are a means
of raising this needed money. The
country looks to you to furnish it.
1t is your part in winning the war
for democracy.
How small part it is. 1t may re-
quire some self-sacrifice as to lux
uries or pleasures. 1t may, indeed,
demand self-denial and abstinence
from comforts a reduction in
the amount of what are regarded as
necessaries. But even if it does, what
are these discomforts compared with
those suffered by the young men WAC
are fighting your battles?
Your part is indeed small in the
great sacrifice. Will you not cheer
fully, manfully do your bit?"

and possibly more, were killed in an
explosion that wrecked the plant Of

had difficulty in taking aid to the

BOURBON RESPONDS LITERALLY
TO APPEAL OF RED CROSS.

The appeal of the Greatest of All
Mothers" the American Red Cross.
like the appeal of motherhood in
every instance, was not in vain here
when Bourbon county oversubscribed
its allotment of $4,000 in the sec
ond campaign for war funds. When
the result was announced at the
close of the meeting at the Grand
Opera House Sunday afternoon, it
was found that the allotment had
gone over the limit by $4,000.
A magnificent audience gathered
at the Opera House at three o'clock
Sunday afternoon, and every availa-
Die foot of seating space and stand
ing room, as well, was taken when
the proceedings were opened. The
meeting was called to order by State
Chairman John r. Downing, of Lex
ingtOn, who told of the work ahead
that would be necessary in order to
place Kentucky in the first rank Of
the Red Cross work in this territory
The organization had been put in
good shape by County Chairman JAS
Caldwell, and when the call for con-
tributiOns began, the money and
pledges poured in like rain drops in
a storm, until the tellers grew tired
and the outsider could not begin to
keep an accurate record of the con-
tributions. They came in sums of
from 81 900 down to 81, and the re-
Spouse was something inspiring and
inspiriting.
Following the Introductory re-
marks by Mr.. Downing and Mr.. Cald-
~ ~,
cipal speaker of the afternoon, deliv-
cred an interesting address, which
held the big audience spellbound by
its eloQuence and forcefulness. He
paid his respects to the Stacker, the
German spy and the other detestables
who throng the world stage to-day
in the great struggle. Preceding and
following Col. Aliens address the
Boys Band from the Odd Fellows
Home. at Lexington, and the Commu-
nifty Chorus, under the direction Of
Mr.. A. L. Boatright, rendered a mu-
steal program of patriotic airs. Mr..
James Mcclure and Mr.. John T. Col
Inns were appointed to take charge
of the contributions, while Messrs.
George Doyle, John w. Yerkes and
Bernard Santen acted as tabulatOrs
and tellers. The first call for con-
tributions was met with a response
of 81, 900, and from that time on the
contributions flowed in so fast that
it was almost impossible for the tab
ulators to keep track of them. But
they did so by hard work, and the
final result was announced as being
$4,000.
One Of the SaddaSt notes of this
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-05-21

trying to do his of her bit was the
action of one of the beSt-known men
in Paris, man is comparatively on
Easy Street" in a financial way,
who refused to contribute a cent to
the fund. He was approached by the
soliciting committee and asked how
much he desired to contribute to the
Red Gross. To their utter. amaze
ment he replied that he would not
and could not give anything. The
committee after a consultation, told
him they would make him see things
in a different light, and it is be hop
ed that he will. AS a direct oppo-
site of the contemplate action of
this man, was that of a woman on
Cypress street, who when approach
ed by the committee, gave them six
ty-five cents, saying it was all she
had, but that she wished it was six
ty-five thousand, instead. The men,
bers of the committee proffered the
return of the money, but the patriot
ic little woman refused to accept,
saying that while it wasn't much it
was all she could give, and that
she wanted the Red Cross to have
it. 1t has been stated that this pa
triotic" citizen who refused to make
a contribution to the Red. Cross has
been notified by the proprietors of a
certain store where he has been
making headquarters that his room
was preferable to his company in the
future. A later report states the
man(?) sent a check for $50.
On Saturday afternoon a consider
able sum was added to the fund by
the sale of furniture belonging to the
Paris Lodge of Elks, and four mules
which had been periodically donated
by Mr.. William Sparks, of the
county.
That the total subscription for the
county in the, campaign would go
over $4,000 was confidently pre-
dicted last night by Chairman Cald-
well and the campaign chairmen.
Several committees in the county
had not reported in full late yester-
day afternoon, at which time the
total had reached nearly $4,000,
exclusive of Millersburg. The COM
mittee at the time THE NEWS clos
ed it's forms last night, expressed
the opinion that the total would be
close to $4,000.
