PUBLIC INVITED TO INSPECT
COMMUNITY GARDEN

The community war gardens lOcat-
ed on the old Fair Grounds property,
on the Lexington pike, near Paris,
will be open for the inspection of the
public on July 8, when Mrs. Harriet
Minaker, and the workers will take
pleasure in showing visitors around
the gardens.
The gardens have been cultivated
by Paris and Bourbon county boys,
all under sixteen years of age, under
the supervision of Mrs. Mlnaker.
They have been taking intense In
terest in the work, and as result OF
their labors, what was once an un-
productive area, is now poisoning
forth in a mass of green goods" the
kind that cheers the inner man,
makes for health, and is also good to
look upon. The ground for the pur-
pose for which it is being used was
donated by E. F. Spears & Sons, of
Paris, who purchased it some years
ago.
On this same date the boys will be
presented with medals, donated by
the Government, in appreciation of
the good work they have done and
are still doing in gardening.
The people of Paris should turn
out en- masse, and visit the Commu-
nifty gardens on July 3. The trip will
do them good, and the sight of what
the boys have done out there will
be revelation to them.

rs Chautauqua ticket worth two
dollars?
That's the question we want every
person to answer for himself: and in
answering it, to consider few facts.
We will have twelve high-grade,
but distinctly different attraction in
our full six-days' program. They will
consist of musical companies, enter
tainers and lecturers, all of top
notch quality; in fact, the very best
the Chautauqua affords (and Chau-
tauqua audiences are a finely dis
eliminating lot, you may be sure.)
In this statement we ask you to
consider but three of the twelve or
more attractions. They are of an
entirely different type, doing an alto
gether different work, and about the
only respect in which they are sim
liar is in the fact that they are all
making good in a very big way; and
to hear any one of them would be
worth more than the whole cost of
the season ticket.
Here are their names: Captain
Richmond P. Hobson, DR.. Jay Will
liam Hudson and George Eustace
Pearson. Captain Hobson's name
will be known and honored as long
as the history of Spanish-American
War is read and remembered, in
which as the hero of the Merrimac,
he gained immortal fame. His Chau-
tauqua address is entitled, America
and the World War;"
Jay William Hudson is one of the
leading publicists and lecturers in
America on topics of national and in
ternational interest. The subject OF
his great lecture is American
Ideals"
George Eustace Pearson is a sur
vivor of Princess Patricia's Regiment
of Canadian Light Infantry, better
known as the Princess Pats" an
author of books on the war and con-
tributor to the Saturday Evening
Post. His Chautauqua address will
recount the history and adventure
of the Princess Pats, the most ia.
nous body of fighting men of mod
ern times.
This is less than a fourth of the
program! And the cost is about SO
cents. Is it worth the price?
Then get your season ticket to-day
of Mr.. E. T. Hinton, the Chautauqua
Secretary, or some other member OF
the Chautauqua Association. Well
look for you there, you and your fam
lily, too.
Remember the dates, July Gil, in
elusive.

HOME FOR DELINQUENT GIRLS.

President Wilson has interested
himself in this nationwide move
ment. The Government puts upon
it the stamp of approval by appro-
priating 100000 to any State that
will match this amount. Don't con-
denim. Learn the facts.
The immediate reason for this
movement is that the army officials
have determined to remove from the
vicinity of the training camps the
young women of loose morality who
constitute a menace to the health of
the soldiers, and preliminary to this
action it is desired that provision be
made to house these girls and give
them opportunity to reform morally
and prepare themselves for employ
ment in various occupations.
Aside from the military necessities
which have induced the nation to
take notice of the delinquent girl,
the ordinary impulses of humanity
and the advancing ideals of right
living should prompt ready response
to this appeal for help.
Viewed purely as an economic
question it should demand the most
energetic and thorough treatment at
the hands of society and the State.
The percentage of young men suf-
fering from the damnning effects of
the social evil is appalling.
We can no longer ignore condi7
tions. Louisville pledges $4,000 Of
the States quota. Lexington hopes
to get $4,000. Throughout the State
Bourbon county is known as always
standing by" in every emergency:
In this, too, she will do her bit.
Watch the papers for the date of
woman's rally. Very little is to be
asked of each person, but this hydra
headed monster must be crushed. It's
menace is second only to, that of
Prussianism. Lend your interest and
influence.

BOURBON CIRCUIT COURT

The June term of the Bourbon Cir
cult Court, which has been in session
since June IL, adjourned Wednesday,
after transacting considerable
amount of important business. Two
murder cases were continued to the
November term. The case of John
Henry Harpe for killing Oscar Will
lOughby and the case of Henry Haw-
kins, colored, for killing Sarah Leer,
colored, were the ones thus disposed
of temporarily. In the Harp case an
affidavit was present to the Court to
the effect that Attorney Maury KEN
per, of Lexington, who was his at
torney, was engaged in holding a
term of court in Fayette county, and
therefore, could not be present.
On Wednesday morning Judge
Robert L. Stout convened Court and
called motion hour, at which a num-
Der of orders and motions incident to
the adjournment of the term were
taken up and ordered filed with
Clerk Webb.
Nose Fisher, indicted for robbing
the clothing store of /. L. Price &
Co., was given a sentence of one year
in the penitentiary.
Simon Cooper, HOUSEKEEPING, was
sent to the same institution for one
year.
Bud Cage, indicted for stealing
shingles from the Templin Lumber
Co., was also given one year in the
pen"
All are colored men. John Clay.
colored, indicted for carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons, was fined $50
and given ten days in Jail and dis
franchised for two years.
The fact that little business was
transacted at this term of the Court
was due to pressure of work on the
farms in saving the wheat and hay
crops, Judge Stout expressing the
opinion that much of the work of the
Court could go over to the fall term.
Judge Stout left for Frankfort, We'd
nesday, where he is presiding over
the June term of the Franklin Circuit
Court. Y

PARIS WOMAN INTERESTED IN
Is. NEW WAR ACTIVITY.

Mrs. Virgil d. Chandler, formerly
of Paris, who has been residing in
Battle Creek, Mich, for some time,
has inaugurated a new phase of war
activity work, and is now in Ken
lucky prosecuting the work along
that line. Mrs. Chandler is a daugh-
ter of Mr.. Nv. H. H. johnson, of Sec
ond street, this city.
Mrs. Chadler made an address in
Lexington, as starting point of the
movement, her topic being Patriot
ISM The meeting was held in the
Baptist church. Mrs. Chandler is en-
gagged in promoting the organization
of Society for Cripples, and for the
relief of crippled soldiers coming
home from the war in Europe.
This society, having only come
into existence within the last few
months, is comparatively new to
many persons, and to many cripples
as we'll. Mrs. Chandler is touring
the country in the interest of the or
ganization and when asked concern
ing her work, said that she was sent
persons, that when the time comes
the cripples at home may teach Grip
pied soldiers returning from the front
how again to mold their lives and
habits to be useful citizens, to go on
living as before the war and in many
cases to teach them occupations by
which they may make living.
Mrs. Chandler says the object of the
Society is to make all members think
less of their own misfortune in CIV
ing their utmost to win the war. She
urges that all cripples, whether or
not they have interviewed her, to no
tify the secretary-treasurer of the So
ciety, Miss Anna M. WOodford, at
Paris, so that they may become men,
bers of this organization, and ally
themselves with the movement, which
is to be useful to the Government
during the great struggle, and in the
reconstruction period following.
