CAMP CONSERVATION.

Fish for food as wei As for
~ pleasure, suggests the United
VAW States Food Administration to
~ the thousands Of families who
spend several weeks every
summer In cottages on lakes and
streams. Fish As a substitute for meat
has long been urged. and now that the
shortage Of beef is again serious. II Is
desirable TO Increase the use OF fish.
Fishing has an added charm when
ones dinner depends on the outcome,
and the sport OF camp cookery should
be more attractive In game TO see
how many delicious ways the fresh
catch can be prepared for the table.
Besides fried. baked and stuffed fish.
there are other means OF preparation
which adapt themselves readily to
camp kitchens.

These effects are far superior to

Girl Students and Dress.

College girls were once thought of
as angular and specialized creatures
who wasted little thought on per-
sonal appearance. They were sup
posed to be immersed in languages
and the "ologies," and not to care
for the allurements of the shops.
OF late there is some criticism of over
dressing by college and High School
girls. The economics department Of
Ohio State University is one institu-
ton that has taken up this matter,
and has arranged exhibits Of simple
clothes suited to girls Of the class
room.
Several of our newspaper exchang-
es have recently remarked on the
growing use of cosmetics by girl stu
dents One constantly sees in the
newspapers the report of some ven
turesome High School principal who
has dared to interfere in the delicate
matter of student apparel.
For girl of the student age to
resort much to elaborate dressing or
other artificial aids to beauty, is sig

Another Kind of June Wedding.

Not all the June wedding an
nouncements are of the frilly, fluffy
bridesmaidy kind of thing. Ere
quently one reads in the papers of
secret marriages and Opponents,
where the only decorations are the
dingy furnishings Of a justice of the
peace office, and the only attendants
the legal witnesses. The newspapers
scent a romance, however, and set
their crack sleuths at work to scare
up a story and scare head.
Probably the publicity given by
the newspapers to affairs of this kind
is largely due to the injudicious atti-
tude of the families. Many parents,
if they do not approve of marriage,
try to keep it out of the papers. To
newspapers of the yellow type, this
operates as a powerful incentive to
use every effort to get story on the
affair.
If the family does not approve of
a marriage, the wise course for them
is to keep their disapprOval to them
selves, and frankly give out the de-
tails of the ceremony, which are
usually simple and short enough.
This disarms the newspaper detec-
tives. When there is no desire mani
tested for conceaIment, the sleuths
can't see any chance for story.
The report is boiled down and put
in an inconspicuouss place. The pub
lie reads and forgets.
If the family refuses to give out
any facts, however, the yellow news
papers print story in which imagin-
alton fills all gaps. Home papers
located more closely to the people
may or may not keep it out. But
even if they join in the policy of sup
pressions, this does not silence gOs-
sip. Indeed it directly aggravates it,
for the more feeling people show over
and affair, the more the gossips talk.
Frank publication of facts about
any event stops all that. This is not
merely true of weddings, but of many
other happenings, where people only
aggravate their own troubles by try
ing to suppress things that can't be
concealed.

LOCAL CHAPTER OF FATHER
LESS CHILDREN OF FRANCE"

Bourbon County is to have her
own chapter of the organization
known as "The Fatherless Children
of France" During the past year
about fifty of these unfortunate little
tots have found foster parents here
in our midst, and as the interest in
their welfare is on the increase, it
has been considered best to have a
local chapter through which to carry
on this splendid work.
Those who have already adopted
these French babies, through hear
ing directly from the children or
their nearest relative, and receiving
their pictures, have become so great
ly attached to their little sons and
daughters over there, that in some
instances they are anxious to trans
port them to America
1t is tragic fate that has over
taken these innocent little victims,
just the same kind of children as ours
here at home, and $3.50 a year is an
insignificant sum to give in order to
insure food to a little child and en-
able it to stay with it's own mother.
Have you, perhaps, any children
in your home? Then you can under
stand what it would mean to them
should conditions in France be dupli-
Gated in Bourbon County.
Have you any who are cripples?
Suppose they had once been we'll
and strong and happy until some
German soldier come along and cut
off their arms and legs.
Have you a little child safe in the
land that is fairer than day."
Then in mercy give in its memory to
one of these little ones in that un-
fortunate country whose only place
of safety is cellar.
Have you no child at all? Then
surely you are the one above all
others who can best afford to keep
life in little child of France.
Call Mrs. Arthur Hancock, either
phone SIS, and she will give you in
formation and subscription blanks.

How To Deal With Agitators.

In view of the agitation created by
the recent arrest of three colored
men in this city, charged with con-
spiracy, and with other things that
7perhaps may develop later on, it is
strange that there should be some
people in this city who should en-
deavor to minimize the offense, and
TO say that it wasn't as bad as it ap-
scared. And it is very strange that
there should be a newspaper which
would keep silent on the subject.
To THE NEWS the statements
made in the circular which these men
were about to give out smack very
strongly of /. w. w. methods and
prD-German influence somewhere.
That the circulars failed to get in
circulation was due to the combined
watchfulness and foresight of a news
paper man and the Chief Of Police.
The newspaper man scented some
thing wrong at once, and got in COM
munication with the authorities. So
the revolution" failed to "revolve."
That does not lessen the possible
guilt of those who inspired it and
whatever influences are behind it.
All whose guilt in connection with
the affair can be established should
be given scant ceremony. This city
and county cannot with safety to the
citizens exhibit leniency toward such
persons as Robinson, Cage and Asher,
or the men higher up, because they
happened to be caught. The way to
discourage such things is to make the
spnnishment so severe that there will
never be repetition of the offense
within the knowledge of the present
generation.
THE NEWS recognizes and ap-
proves the element of colored citizen
ship in this city and county. which,
fortunately, is largely in the ascend
aency, who are law-abiding, patriotic
and who severely repudiate the &C
ton of Robinson, Cage and Asher.
To them will be delegated the task of
helping to ferret out the schemers
who would cause trouble in their
midst and bring disgrace on their
race Now is the very time to nip
this business in the bud and make
the nipping so very effective that the
pincers will hurt those to whom it
may be justly applied. In these
Hroublous times there is no room for
such propaganda as that incendiary
circular would surely have started
had it been given general circula-
Sion.

ENGLISH PAPER PAYS TRIBUTE
TO AMERICANS.

Commenting on 4 the capture of
Cantigny by the Americans, the Lon
don, (Eng.) Evening News says:
Bravo! The young Americans!
Nothing in to-day's battle narrative
from the front is more exhilarating
than the account of their fight at
Cantigny. 1t was clean cut from
beginning to end, like one of their
countrymen's short stories, and the
short story Of Cantigny is going to
expand into full length novel,
which will write the doom of the
Kaiser and Kaiserism.
1--WE expected it. We have seen
those young Americans in London,
and merely to glance at them was
to know that they are conquerors
and brothers in that great Anglo
Saxon-Latin compact, which will
bring down the diabolical Prussian
idol, with it's poisons and calculated
infamies, to enthrone chivaIrous hui
manity again.
"They do not swagger and they
have no war illusions. They have
done their first job with swift pre-
cision, characteristic of the United
States, and Cantigny will one day be
repeated a thousand fold. On that
day the Kaiser's crown will go to the
Allied Museum"

PROSPECTS FOR BLUEGRASS
SEED CROP FORECAST.

Dealers in this city who handle
the annual bluegrass seed crop have
estimated that there will be from
100000 to 100000 bushels of seed
produced in this district this season.
Of this amount Bourbon county's
yield is expected to reach 100000
bushels.
No price has been set as yet for
the seed, and no very extensive prep
arations have been made for the har-
vest, which will come a little later
The old seed is retailing for $2.75
per bushel, with a considerable sur
plus on hand left over from last
years crop.
Some of the dealers who had strip
pers in the field last year will not
send out their teams this year. The
scarcity of labor and the high prices
that will have to be paid for labor of
the kind necessary for harvesting
the crop will deter many of them
from entering the fields. One dealer
in Paris, Mr.. Edward Burke, will
operate a gang of shippers in Clark
county, where he has contracted for a
large acreage.
Owing to the fact that the Govern
ment requires the dealers to have
only such seed as is able to show
certified per cent of termination
qualities, the dealers in this section
will be very careful about purchasing
extensive quantities of green seed.

More Nurses Needed.

So rapidly are trained nurses en-
tering military and Red Cross SER
vice that there will soon be a short
age in the number needed at home
Something must be done at once, to-
ward building up a reserve. Domes-
tic health is of vital Importance, if
the country is to put its whole econ
omic strength back of the men at
the front.
Nursing is a profession requiring
character, perseverance, intelligence
and physical endurance. Two or
three years of close application are
required before proficiency can be
hoped for Many a woman has enter
ed nursing from romantic notions
only to fine that she had had a very
superficial idea Of what would be re-
quired of her. There is an urgent
demand at this time for young women
of another sort. There is need of ap-
plicants who will understand that
rigid discipline and the many I'M
pleasant tasks of their hospital train
ing are highly important features of
their preparation for real work.
Paris boasts of several young wo-
men who have gone in for nursing
since America entered the world-war.
There must be in this city many
other young women who are restless
from inaction, who are anxious to do
something for the national cause, and
who can do that something in no bet
tire way than through the honorable
and vitality important profession of
nursing.
