ONE DAILY DELIVERY BY PARIS
GR0CERS.

At meeting of the grocers of
Paris held recently, in conference
with Mr.. Eugene J. Straus, of Lou

James Caldwell and Mr.. M. Peale
Collier, members of the Bourbon

COURT OF APPEALS DECLARES
FOR PERSONAL USE" CLAUSE

The Court of Appeals, at Frank
fort, Wednesday, held that the per-
sonal use clause, an amendment to
tn local option law, passed by the last
Legislature prohibiting the taking of
Intoxicating liquors into local option
territory for personal use is uncon-
st1tutional. The Court says that it
will be necessary to amend the Con-
stitution to give the Legislature au-
thority to pass such a law.
Thomas Barber, who lives at More
head, in Rowan county, bought three
quarts of liquor in Lexington and car
ried them to Rowan county, which is
local option territory. He was in
dicted by the Rowan Circuit Court on
the charge of violating the personal
use clause of the local option stat-
ute. He was convicted, fined $50 and
sentenced to twenty days in Jail.
Taking an appeal the case was de-
cided Wednesday i'm his favor.
The Court says that it decided this
question in the case of the Common
wealth against Campbell, 1873 KY. so
and the Commonwealth against
Smith, 1853 KY. 227 and as there has
been no amendment to the Constitu-
ton, there is no reason why the Court
should change it's opinion. Commits
sioner Clay wrote the opinion of the
Court, the whole Court sitting and
none of the members of the Court dis
sented.

OUR BOYS" SOON TO RETURN
TO THE OLD HOME.

First units of the American ExpeGi-
tionary Forces. to return from over
seas are expected to arrive in New
York about the end OF the present
week. General March, chief of the
staff. announced that 382 officers and
6.614 men of the air service and
other detachments training in Eng
land now are homeward bound on
the Minnekahda. Lapland and orca,
British liners. The first two ships
left Liverpool last Friday and the
Orca sailed on Saturday.
The announcement means that the
movement of the American troops
now in England, the majority of
whom are in air service detachments.
will continue steadily until all of
them-some 0,000-have returned
to this county. There are no regi-
ments or other units of line troops in
Great Britain. The first movement of
the larger units, such as brigades and
divisions, will come from French
ports, it is assumed, as the British
cross-channel service undoubtedly is
completely occupied with the trans
portation of returning British troops.
The mastering out of soldiers at
Camp Zachary Taylor, preparatory to
their return to civil life has begun,
and will continue at the rate of 1 1000
each day, until only few companies
are left to keep the camp guarded.
So far none of the mustered-out men
have been from Bourbon county.
The plan is to send all the men from
one county home in body.
Great care is being taken in the
rehabilitation of the Development
Battalions. No man is discharged
who is suffering from communica-
BILE disease and others are being hid
for treatment who contracted dis
ease or were injured while in the SER
vice.
In the start of the men returning
to their homes there is a vast con-
trast to the scenes of more than a
year ago when the first men of the
drafted army came to Camp Zachary
Taylor. They will leave the camp
quietly and in groups direct to their
home towns wherever it is possible.

Marcel Gets His

Old French Boy-and His

Marcel is man. He Is Just fifteen
years old, but yet he is man. I say
he is a man because in the last four
years time has burned into his child
heart marks that should wait for stem
er maturity He is man because he
has the responsibility Of a woman. He
has no father. The Germans saw to
that. Marcel has had to stand by and
see his small brothers and baby sister
sk in vain for food while he fought
off the pressing call from his growing
boys stomach. He has had to see
tears from his mothers eyes drop on
The plowed ground as she worked the
soil his father would have titled had
lie not gone away out Of the peaceful
hess of the Marine valley into the iron
'lail of the Aisne and on into the here
aftcr
The boy, who was now 4 man, work
ed hard, yes, too hard. With his hair
less hands and his boys strength hs
fought almost alone the unequal tight
against want with what little help his
Irali mOIner cOulO give.
Mother Can Keep Children.
One Of the 20 or so local societies
in France. handicapped by lack Of
funds because deluged by calls for
help, tried to relieve the family by TAX
Ing away the children. But to the tor
ture twisted brain of the woman this

And then when everything seemed
lost and despair came they heard the
news: mo, it could not be true.
They would help them with food and
clothing? They would till the soilf
Mend the barns and stay near by to-
see that things went well?" Yes, and
the children could stay. said the Red
Cross. as they had said to hundreds
Of others.
That was two years ago. Today this
family is self supporting and has some
to spare for the more needy ones. who
still are being helped. Little Jean il
taller. He looks well fed-and he IL
well fed. The baby is so rolly poly
that the dimples have come again.
They are in good spirits-on their feet
once more.
And Marcel. He has finished the
course that the Red Cross gave him
In an agricultural school. 1t is he who
has been running the farm so well. He
did 1t all. At least they let him think
so, for heaven knows he has seen the
bottom Of the bitter cup. And I know
that the Red Cross will want me to
say he did 1t, for that is the way they
work-qrietly. earnestly, efficiently,
without stint, without waste, without
boast.
