FORMER PARIS PASTOR LOSES
VALUABLE WATCH.

While with party of friends at
a pleasure resort near Cincinnati,
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Pater Rob-
ertson, formerly pastor of the Pres
byterian church (Northern) in this
city, had the misfortune to lose a
valuable gold watch. The timepiece
was one which had been presented to
him by the people of Paris as a
memento of their high regard for
him and their appreciation of his
work for the betterment of Paris
during his ministry here. 1t bore
an engraved inscription on the back
of the case reading: ITO the Rev.
Peter Robertson from the Citizens of
Paris, KY"
Rev. Robertson promptly reported
his loss to the police, and local jew
elers and pawnbrokers were given
an accurate description of the watch,
and ordered to keep a lookout for it.
Paris was the first place in which
Rev. Robertson had a charge after
being ordained as minister. In Gin
! cinnati he had charge of the Mo-
hawk Avenue Presbyterian church,
and, as in Paris, soon became very
popular.

A PLEA FOR CLEAN STREETS
FOR SUNDAY.

A Paris merchant who takes a
pardonable pride in civic conditions
in Paris complains that the streets
of Paris present deplorable and al
together unpresentable sight on Sun
day morning. 1t seems that many
merchants who take great pride in
keeping their pavements clear OF all
debris and litter every day in the
week will not take the least trouble
to have the same conditions obtain
on Saturday night. The result Is
THAI on Sunday the streets OF Paris
are \fflled with an indiscriminate
mass of rubbish, paper, tobacco odds
and ends, trash of all kinds, all
tending to make an unsightly ap-
pearance on the following morning
when people are going to church.
1t is suggested that for the sake OF
lettering civic conditions in Paris,
merchants sweep out their stores be-
fore the close of business on Satur-
day nights, and then clean their
pavements, throwing the accumula-
lions of rubbish into receptacle OF
some kind, instead of permitting 1T
to be swept into the streets, where
It floats and eddys around. Paris
streets on Sunday should be immac-
ulately clean, of all days in the week.
The plea is made for the sake OF
having a cleaner and more sanitary
appearance on the streets on Sun
day. 1t is point we'll taken. If 1T
is good and wholesome to have clean
streets six days in the week, why
would not the same principle be
worthy of application to Sunday, the
seventh day? Let's have a more
rigid observance of the slogan,
"Clean up, brighten up" and have
it apply to the pavements and streets
of the city for Saturday night, so
that they may not resemble the in
terror of a dismantled junk shop on
the day following.

Women Registration September
8 to 10.

The government wants to have a
complete census of the ability of the
women of our country, and the work
of registration will be under the
supervision of the Women's Commit.
tee of the National Council of De-
Tense.
Mrs. G. F. Clay has been appoint
ed chairman of the work for Bourbon
county and has already appointed
committees and assistants to aid in
rushing to completion the work SC
necessary and so needed in helping
our government in this hour of need
when the millions Of men are going
to war and women are taking their
places here at home.
Following facts about the regis
tration will aid those who have not
had the opportunity to read any
thing on the subject.
No woman will be required to
register. The Government will not
penalize her If she refuses to COM
ply with its request. Nor will she
be forced to perform the work for
which she signs up her fitness. 1t is
up to her whether she refuses her
cooperation to her country during
war times.
An ever-growing labor shortage
will be felt in this country; First,
because of the millions of men who
are withdrawn from civil life and in
dustries; second, because of the new
war industries which will require
labor. American women must there
fore work-all of them, rich and
poor-just as English and French
women have worked, regardless of
their private means. A census is
therefore necessary for the Govern
ment to discover which of its women
can be depended ON to do this work.
A large percentage of the women
are the mothers of young children,
and therefore can neither leave home,
nor accept paid positions. Such a
woman is asked to register under
the domestic section, and moreover
to state how much of her time she
can or will give to the Red Cross
work.
Each registrant must state wheth-
er she is trained or unframed. If
she expects to take training that she
may be of more service to her coun-
try, she should register this plan.
There are ten branches of service
which the card mentions, which COW
er every known service which wo-
man can do. They are agricultural,
clerical, domestic, Industrial, profess
sional, public service, social service,
Red Cross, and Allied Relief, mis-
cellaneous and contributions. The
woman must state whether she is
trained or unframed. A list, print
ed on the card allows her to be more
specific as to her training and ex-
perience. This list follows:
1. Agricultural - Dairying. Farm
ing, Fruit raising, Gardening, Poul-
try raising, Stock raising.
Q. Clerical - Accountant Book
keeper, Cashier, Clerical work (gen)
Filing, Office assistant, Office Man
ager, Private Secretary, Typewriter,
Shipping Clerk, Stenographer.
8. Domestic - Care of children,
Cleaning, Cooking, Housekeeping, In

FARMERSCIVEN
FINANCIAL AID
IN DOMINION

WINNIPEG. Canada, Dec 1.-The
financial resources of Western Can
ada are being placed at the disposal
of farmers in the prairie provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan anad Al
berta. where grain farming will more
than ever be the chief industry when
the eighty thousand soldiers Of the
three provinces return from overseas.
Mortgage companies and chartered
banks never were more able to
finance stable industries in this
stretch of country, about 500 900 600
being available for immediate use
through such institutions. Besides,
the federal and provincial govern
ments are making extensive plans
for extending financial aid.
The immense possibilities of the
prairies as a food-growing country
have been carefully considered by
government .Cials. Not only will
vast tracts be made available to the
soldiers on q homestead basis, but the
federal and provincial governments
will give financial assistance in equip
ping the new farms with proper ma
chinery Long term loans will be pro
vided through rural credits systems.
Extension of manufactures. as well
as agriculture, in Western Canada, is
anticipated One of the first ques
tons taken up by the inter.provincial
conference which has been in prog
ress at Ottawa was the transfer of
control of natural resources OF the
prairie provinces from federal to pro
vincial governments. 1t is urged that
the transfer. for years an unsettled
matter. would make it possible for
individual provinces to develop min
ing and other industries on their own
initiative.
At Estevan, Sask., for instance,
there are huge deposits of soft coal
and movement is already under way
to establish several big factories in
the district for the purpose OF utiliz
ing the coal.
