REDEEM w. S. S. PLEDGES AT
THE P0ST0FFTCE

postmaster ]. Walter Payne said
yesterday that those persons in the
city and county who had received
notlce from the chairman of the War
savings Stamp campaign, notifying
mem that their pledges to buy War
savings Stamps had not been fulfilled,
should call at the postoffice and have
Chelr purchases marked on the cards
On ME there if they had bought
stamps elsewhere.
During the War Savings Stamp
orlve in this city and county many
people pledged to buy their stamps
d the Paris postoffice, and have since
made many purchases at drug stores
banks and other places. Their orig
mai pledge cards, however, are filed
with the postmaster, and much con
fusion and annoyance has resulted
because the cards there do not show
records of purchases made elsewhere
postmaster Payne or his assistant:
VIII be. glad to bring the entries or
the cards up to date.

SUPERINTENDENT EXPRESSES
APPROVAL

II am greatly gratified at the pa
tr1otic response Of the people of Paris
generally to the request of the Pres
1dent of the United States to see that
their children are kept in school,"
said Superintendent of Schools Lee
Kirkpatrick.
Our attendance for the past week
has been one of the largest for the
opening weeks of any school year for
many years." he continued. "This I
attribute to the universal willing
ness of every parent, rich or poor, to
do what the President says is neces-
sary to be done in order to win the
war.
Even old offenders, parents who
have been careless for years about
the attendance of their children, are
in line, and their little ones are in
school and ready for work along with
those who understand from my pre-
decessors have never given any
trouble about their attendance.
eve are not expecting the Truant
Officer to have much to do. The poor
are approaching as never before the
benefits of education, and boys who
left the High School last year now
see the mistake they made in failing
to complete their education, and have
returned to us this term. 1t shows
the proper spirit all around, and
taken all in all, the outlook for a
successful school year for the Paris
schools is a very bright one, indeed.
Speaking modestly, will say for the
members of the faculty and myself,
that we will leave nothing undone
that. will tend to improve the Paris
High School, and to make it as near
perfect as men, women and modern
methods can do"

ADVANCED CLOCKS
 WON'T SAVE DAYLIGHT
 FOR THE NORTHERNER

DOUGLAS, March 23.-Just what is to be gained in Alaska by the advance of clocks one hour, which advance is scheduled to take place one week from today when the clock is wound up for that night the cat put out and the door locked, is not apparent according to those in this ter consideration. A number of mine operators and business men, in discussing the arranged plan yes terday reached the conclusion that it will be better to not punch up the clocks next Saturday night but leave them unmolested.
 True, with clocks in what is term ed the Pacific Division advanced another hour it would make two in- stead of one hours difference in time between Seattle, Vancouver and Alaskan ports instead of but one hour as at present.
 But so far as daylight saving in Alaska is concerned, there is plenty of that at both ends of the days ev en at present and by another month it will be the greatest asset of the north.
 It is also argued that, as our peo- pie are prone to stay up too many hours as it is, especially when it is broad daylight at midnight, the plan to have them rise an hour earlier in the morning should be discouraged as health measure.
 On the whole, it is not considered practical to change time in Alaska, and the farther north in Alaska the

 The Theatre is well fitted and is said to be very comfortable. Mir. Ott has secured five year lease on the place and the exclusive manage ment will be in his hands.

THAT VON ARK CASE

DOUGLAS, March 23.-Regarding the Von Ark case which was con cluded in the District court yester- day when a verdict was rendered for Von Arx giving him damages to the amount of $1. thus throwing the costs of the case on w. A. Shaffer, for mer city marshal here. the case hay ing grown out of an arrest of Won Arx by Shafer about three years ago, it is claimed here by some today that the Town of Douglas can be held responsible for the costs assess ed against Shafer that the case was recognized and defended by the city during the administration of two sep arate councils; that the recent ac- tion of the present city council in disavowing any and all responsibility of the case does not absolve the city from the obligation. Mir. Shafer was not seen regarding the matter and whether or not he will expect the city to back him up for what he did while in it's employ as city marshal is not known. But there is pos sibility that the courts will be asked to settle the matter.

BUSY AT CLASSIFICATION

DOUGLAS, March 23-The ex- emption officers here, Messrs. E. E.. Smith and P. H. Fox, are still busy at their work. While they mailed all the questionnaires more than a week ago, they now spend from one to two hours each day classifying the registrants, many of whom claim exemptions for private reasons al though the number of this class is not so large as it was expected it would be. While there are several alien enemy registrants, none of them have expressed a desire to fight against the United States, but on the other hand they say they are willing, if permitted, to enter the American Army, which, of course, they will not be permitted to do.

London, August 31 Correspond of The Associated Press.) 1.-The American soldier on his first visit to London from some of the numerous camps around England, often asks why there seem to be so many avia- tors stroling around the city streets, apparently without care in the world. It is evident that many of them are veteran flyers, for they wear rib bons and decorations which could on the field.
 Most of these men, the American learns, are "on leace." London is the great "rest-camp' for aviators. Af- ter long period of war flying in France, they flock back to London to rest their nerves, until the medical officers pass them for return to duty. Two to four weeks is the average period they spend in this city. They naturally look forward to these per iods of leave with great pleasure, but by the time their three or four weeks are up, they are beginning to be anxious to get back into the atmos- phere of gasoline.
 Any day one can see dozens of them arriving at a certain Lcndon station. Their faces reflect pleasurable anticl- | patton of their holiday. T can have ! a rest now," they are saying to them selves.

 They meet friends newly arriving on leave in London, and drag them off to some secluded spot where they can get the latest news of the squadron, hear the latest aerodrome stories, and become, for little time, part of "the show" again.

New York Sept. 1.--More than one thousand football games are schedul- ed to be played by the leading colleges and preparatory schools of the country during the coming gridion season not withstanding the unsettled conditions incidental to the war. While these figures are not up to the normal or peace standards. the records show over tWO-thirds of the number of con- tests scheduled ill 1915 and 1916.
 The list is less accurate than ill past years, however, owing to the late arrangements of duates and the stant shifting of games witch still continues on the eve of the initial play. Uncertainty regarding the de. mand to be made upon students and institutions by the war has further complicated the situation In some cases certain colleges have cancel led entire schedules within the past few weeks while other have yet to de- eide whether or not the game will be played this Autumn.
 This is particularly true of Har- vard Yale and Princeton ill the east for although there are indications that football will be resumed at these universities no attmpe has been made as. yet to schedule games and the contests, if arranged, will probably be confined to round rob in series with a few minor matches in place of the usual impressive sche- dule of the big three. Hel'e " there the name of a prominent team will be missing from the list of ele- vens such as the Carlisle Indian School. and Georgetown University but ill the main the familiar ele- vens are to be found in the long se- ries of games which begins on Sat urday, September 21, and close with the contests of Thanksgiving Day. late in November
 In the east, Cornell. Pennsylvania Dartmouth. Army, Navy, Brown, Col gate, Syracuse, Williams, Pittsburgh, Columbia. Amherst and many other colleges will be represented by teams. The middle west will see the conference colleges, augmented by
