OCTOBER COURT DAY.

October court days in Paris yester-
day was largely attended one, but
the volume of business being done
in the stock market lines did not
seem to keep pace with the size of the
crowd. The trading was rather light,
and there was little stock on the mar
ket, what there was finding sales at
fairly good prices. The usual side
attractions were on hand, but our old
friends, the Salvation Army people.
failed to put in their appearance.
The big crowd surged from place to
place, or gathered in knots to dis
cuss farming conditions, the Liberty
Loan or the news from the war CEN
ters and the fake peace program put
up by Kaiser Bill and his dupes.
Merchants reported fairly good
business in their lines and collections
very good. The approach of cooler
weather put the shoppers in the no.
ton of laying in their winter stocks,
and as result. several lines of busi-
ness in particular enjoyed a good run
of trade.
Tobacco men were full of enthusi-
asm over prospects for their crops.
There was a general spirit of optim-
ism running through the conversa-
tion of the farmers, who were making
their preparations for prosperous
season.

POULTRY DEALERS WARNED NOT
HANDLE IMMATURE FOWLS

The marketing of turkey broilers
is considered a wasteful practice,
and steps are being taken by the
United States Food Administration
to put a stop to the practice. County
Food Administrator Lawrence Mitch
ell. of North Middletown, is in re-
ceipt of the following letter from
Allen R. Carter, Chairman of the
Poultry and Egg Division of the
Food Administration for Kentucky,
in regard to the matter:
The practice of slaughtering So
called broiler turkeys is considered
wasteful. Hotels, clubs, and restaur-
ants where broiler turkeys are mostly
consumed, should refuse to serve
them. The marketing of immature
turkeys should be frowned on until
November /, so as to allow these
birds to mature. thereby increasing
our food supplies.
Country dealers and shippers will
not purchase of farmers immature
turkeys and dealers in the market
will refuse to handle young hen tur-
keys weighing less than seven pounds
and young Tom turkeys weighing less
than nine pounds, live weight.

OLD SCHEDULE RESTORED.

About two weeks ago the Kentucky
Traction & Terminal Company Ofici
ais notified their Paris agent, Mr.. S.
E. Borland, to discontinue the round
trips Of the. city car between the ter
minal at the court house, and the
Bethlehem pike, on the half-hour
schedule, and instead to adopt a
schedule of one round trip every hour
and half.
The protests of the citizens using
the line became so vigorous that it
reached the ears of Mayor e. B. jan
uary. The matter, as stated in an
other issue of THE NEWS, was taken
UP at a conference between Mayor
January and Mr.. S. H. Daley, of Lex
ington, General Manager of the
Traction lines. The result was that
an order was issued restoring the
schedule to the half-hour trip as be-
fore. The restoration of the old
schedule is great convenience to
people living on South Main street
and in the immediate vicinity of the
city limits.

committees, asking them to mobilize
at once all their nursing resources.

these local committees and not to

ordered by the division nursing de-
partment. Volunteer nurses for this
service are desired, but salaries
and expenses will be paid where nee
essary to graduate nurses and $50 to
Ss0 month to undergraduates ane

at division headquarters was that of
the Department of Civilian Relief

once to prevent the spread of the dis
