PIPE LINE BREAK REPAIRED
STEADY PRESSURE ASSURED

Assurance has been given patrons
of the Central Kentucky Natural
Gas Co., which supplies Paris, that
there will be steady and ample
pressure from now on.
A temporary six-inch connection
has been completed to replace the
ten-inch main, which was washed
away by the flood in West Virginia
several days ago, and which the
company believes will give the nee
essary relief to Central Kentucky
consumers until permanent repairs
can be made. The recent shortage
was entirely due to a washout in
the West Virginia field caused by
flood conditions and could not have
been guarded against or prevented
by the company in any way.

THE GOVERNMENT WANTS ME-
CHANICS FOR SERVICE

In this issue of THE NEWS ap-
pears an advertisement setting
forth the desire of the Government
to secure large number of me-
chanics for the service. In the faith
that labor is ready to do it's share,
the Department of Labor has Great
ed as a part Of it's official organiza-
ton, but with no compulsion on its
members, the United States Public
Service Reserve. If it's plans sue
coed no form of compulsion will be
necessary, and the war labor prob
lem will be solved with the least
possible disturbance of existing in
dustry.
The Government wants all classes
of men in the Reserve-professiOn
men, artisans, laborers of all kinds.
Men especially needed are mechan-
les, skilled laborers of all kind who
can work with tools. There is
great need for such men now. Only
men who are really able and ready
to respond when an opportunity
for service comes, are asked to en-
roll When the Reserve sets out to
get men for the Government it
merely notifies those of it's members
who seem qualified-telling them
all about the job, the wages, and
terms of employment. The individ-
ual member may take it or leave it..
as he likes.
Mechanics who desire to assist
the Government in this way, should
register with Mr.. Buckner Wood
ford, Jr., at the Bourbon-Agricul
tural Bank & Trust Company, cor
ner of Main and Fourth streets,
Paris.

SAVE THE SCRAPS.

A few days ago a Paris restaur-
ant man communicated with the
State Food Administrator in regard
to the waste which naturally &C
cumulates from day to day at a res
taurant. He cited the fact that he
would probaly have some articles of
food left from one day to another
and asked if he would be compelled
to destroy this food stuff so left
over from the preceding day He re-
ceived an answer from the Food
Administrator urging upon him that
not a scrap of food be permitted to
go to waste, but that it be utilized
in some way.
