The people of Paris, in common
with the people of other Central
Kentucky cities, have been COM
planning of the shortage of gas dur
ing the cold spells that have been
affecting this section. The pressure
has been fairly good in Paris for the
past few days, but might be better.
The Mt. Sterling Gazette has the
following in its last issue regarding
the situation, which seems to be
worse in other places than in Paris:
with view of making some per-
manent arrangements, or taking
some definite steps against the Cen
trail Kentucky Natural Gas Company
which furnishes fuel to Winchester,
Mt. Sterling, Frankfort, Paris and
Lexington, a meeting Of the attor-
neys of these cities will be held at
Frankfort in the near future. Mr..
R. A. Chiles, City Attorney of Mt.
Sterling, is responsible for the ac-
tion. 1t has been my observation
that for the last four or five years
on a very cold spell there is a
shortage of gas and an oyer-amount
of air pressure, for which the pub
lie has to pay he says. There are
also profuse apologies by the Cen
pany and that is as far as it goes.
There is never any reduction or de-
duction in the bills, and it seems
that we have to pay for cold air,
just as well as hot air.
THE meeting of the attorneys will
probably result in some permanent
relief, not only during this winter,
but in winters to come"

PARIS TURNS UP WITH A Ola
LECT POET.

Did you know, gentle reader, that
Paris (Ky.) bids fair to rival the
fame of Georgia which gave Joel
Chandler Harris to the world of dia-
lect, or OF Indiana, where the i'm
mortal Whitcomb Riley gave to the
world those charming dialect poems
that have made the world his
debtor?
Their rival is Paris citizen,
Thomas Ahearn, soldier of fortune,
traveller, former newspaper man and
good all-rOund fellow, who served
several years in the service of the
United States as a soldier in the
Philippines, and who was for several
years in the newspaper business in
Connecticut. In the course of his
musings one dreamy night while on
guard duty in the far-distant Phil
ippines, Ahearn, thinking of good
old times in his old Kentucky home,
drafted the following dialect poem
which will appeal to every true-born
Kentuckian and Southern sportsman,
who knows from experience the
pleasures of the chase. Ahearn has
caught the true spirit of the times
when the colored man pursued the
'pOssum and the coon, and has set
them in a measure that has all the
Tilt of the South in it.

THRIFT STAMPS.

1t is pointed out by the Treasury
Department that Thrift Stamps are
not made redeeInaDle in cash for the
reason that these stamps are simply
intended as a convenient method for
the small savers to accumulate
enough to purchase War Savings
Stamps, which bear interest and are
redeemable in cash.
In addition, to provide for re-
demption for these Thrift Stamps
would involve such an amount of
detailed accounting and labor ond
expense as to impair the practical
bility of their use. In fact, they
would be more trouble and expense
to the Government possibly than
they are worth.

THE OUTLOOK FOR
FARMING IN 1919

Next year should be the best year
for farmers. Labor should be mod
erately plentiful and prices very
good. Farming machinery may be
as high as this year, and it may not
be cheap again until all the progress
sive nations Of the world have
stocked up with modern things for
farming. The world is pretty we'll
depleted of all It's reserve stock now,
both in food and goods Of every kind
and many countries have nst even
seed to start to farming, but they
will get it in some way or get some
at least. America and the other
farming countries may expect good
demand for agricultural products
next year, and there should not be
the car shortage and other difficult
feC that We had this year in moving
crops when harvested. There will
not be the congested conditions at
docks and terminals that were made
this year by the high pressure of wal
shipments and troop movement.
A good many farmers have been
impatient this year, and are COM
planning that they were asked tc
raise all they could to help win the
war, and now, after harvesting
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-12-13

crops, they have delays In market
ing, but there have been a great
many other things to do and to move
besides relieving the producer OF his
crops. Let US hope that next year
the arteries of commerce will be OPP
Grating better, and that streams of
food and other products of peace and
comfort will be pouring to destina-
ton thru the channels that have been
carrying streams of products for de-
struction. We believe that the
farmer who has stuck to his trade
thru all the handicaps of the war
period and quits in disgust now, will
quit just IN time to miss his great
est opportunity. We expect prices
to taper off and to go rather low in
a few years, but think of the effect
of these things:
Two and a half million foreigners
now in America are booked to return
to Europe.
1t is estimated that twelve other
millions Of. foreign born people now
in America will visit Europe within a
few years.
1t is expected that european ma
tions will prohibit people from leav-
ing their countries for many years.
Europeans will buy our imple-
ments and machinery and employ our
experts and engineers to rebuild and
regenerate their industries.
Europeans will buy our raw and
manufactured products as they never
bought before, and the more they use
of them, the more they will be slim
lated to greater undertakings where
they undertook little or nothing be-
fore.
At the close Of the war our mer-
chant marine will be one-third as
great as England's. and almost equal
to all other nations combined, and
we shall have such shipping facilities
to carry American products as the
world never saw before, for we are
building ships now like Ford builds
cars, in great numbers.
French, English and American fac
tories will lead the world, and Am
erican goods will pour into the mar
kets of the world as never before, es-
pecially the South American coun-
tries where consumption is increasing
at high ratios. s
Thru it all, the American farmer
will prosper as he never prospered
before.

WILL FARMERS SPREAD
SOCIALISM?

The declaration of principles pub
lished elsewhere in this edition show
ing what was adopted by the Nom
partisan league at their national
convention at St. Paul recently, has
one paragraph that tells the story
of socialism that has been so much
in debate lately.
They say they stand for the re-
organization of nations as the United
States of the world. That has been
the dream of the socialist and ultra
socialist and people who have any
doubt as to what the Non-partisans
stand for in matters socialistic are
now assured by their own declara-
lions that they are socialistic with
out limit.
1t has been observed and acknow-
lodged that all Of the socialists in
this county belong to the Non
partisan league and it has been a
Bquestion whether the farmers were
joining socialism or whether sicial-
ism was joining the farmers. The
matter should be rather plain now.

thief points were made as follows.

chief points were made as follows.
There is no question that we can
not face in a spirit of kinship and
table to know each others minds
and reasons, but it never entered our
minds to desire any exclusive or
selfish connection or to interrupt
Americas free dealings in any way
with the rest of the world. With
France, and other of our neighbors
in eastern Europe, we must be more
intimately linked than ever
/ LET us be frank and friendly
about the only thing which can stand
III the way, the one thing which
stands in the way. 1t is the demand
for what previously Is miscalled the
freedom of the seas. Two nations
are not going to quarrel about that
even, If they should decide to differ
about it. We regret profoundly that
the issue was ever raised, but we
think we understand how it came to
be raised. We think We see our way
to dispose of it, and we are not fuss
ing or worrying about it. On one
line or another solution can be
reached or an alternative adopted.
We are told that if we do not accept
freedom of the seas the consequence
will be such a development of the
American navy as might make it as
large as our own. or even larger.
America is perfectly entitled to do
this, as in other respects, whatever
on the balance of all considerations
she may think worth while or wise.
We can settle it on that prospect and
shake hands.
1--WE are not by temperament a
jealous or crimonious people, es-
pecially not where the American is
concerned, and we are not prone to
melodramatic fears or suspicious.
There already is in this country,
after the English-speaking comrade-
ship in war, an incalculable stock of
increased good will for America to
draw on. We know that in the
United States there is a large and in
creasing stock of answering good
will for Britain to draw on. Let us
both keep our sense of reality and
even bring little Anglo-American
humor to bear on the affair.
I'VE can embrace and insure Will
sons main ideal, league of nations.
Over and above that, we can give
the president practically every item
but one in his original fourteen
points Of January and several sup
Elementary points made in his
speeches and messages. There is only
one point on which it is absolutely
impossible for us to give. No Brit
ish government whatever would give
it, and to give it would ruin the pro-
ject to league Of nations from the
start. It would undermine the whole
safety of civilization and diminish
he prospects Of European stability.
It would be most certain tempta-
tion to the German race not to make
a great change of heart and doctrine,
but to work for the restoration Of
German hegemony in some suitable
crisis, which might be engineered or
arise of itself. It would abolish
certain and tangible politico-eco-
nomic security for maintenance Of
the worlds peace"
