SEES DOMINATION OF FOOD PRO-
DUCTS BY PACKERS.

An approaching packer domination
of all important foods in the United
States. and international control of
meat products with foreign compa-
MES, seems a certainty unless funda-
mental action is taken to prevent it,
the Federal Trade Commission de-
clared in part of one of its reports
to President Wilson on the extent
and growth of power of the five pack
ers in meat and other industries"
"a fair consideration of the course
the five packers have followed and
the position they have already reach
ed,'' said the report. must lead to
the conclusion that they threaten the
freedom of the market of the coun-
try's food industries and of the by
product industries linked Herewith.
The meat packer control Of other
foods will not require long in devel-
oping."
Declaring 1.-The history of the pack
ers' growth is interwoven with lille
gal commissions, and radiates with
undisclosed control of corporations
the report urged the independence OF
full publicity of corporate owenrsh1p
for all industries.

: Every property owner in Paris has
heen served with a notice from the
City Board Of Tax Supervisors that
their property has been raised. It
has caused great howl from the tax
payers, and a lot of dessensiOn has
been caused, and lot of discussion
obliged in. THE NEWS man has
been drawn into several of these de-
bates with our Democratic candidate
for the Legislature.
I. In an interview, ]. H. Thompson, a
student of taxation, said: 81 told the
taxpayers of Harrison county, in an
address in Cynthiana recently, that
In view of the results obtained under
the present tax law it would seem al
most unbelievable that any real es-
tate owner could now endorse this
plan of taxation. The burden falls
dOubly heavy on city real estate be-
cause it pays three different taxes.
Any increase ordered by the State
will naturally result in an increase
in county and city taxes, also.
1.-THE principal protests that have
been heard against the present tax

If the State. This has created the
Impression that the law was burden
ing farm property to the exclusion to
other real estate. This is mistaken
idea because all real estate, whether
farm lands, town lots or city build
ings is treated alike under the law.
In fact, town property suffers more
from added burdens than farm lands,
| because ony increase in assessment
BY the State usually results in like
increase for county and city purposes
as well.
1.-The assessment of real estate Is
first made for State purposes. The
| county is required to take the same
| assessment; that is, the County
Equalization Board is ordered by the
State Tax Commission to make the
assessment for State purposes, there
fore in doing so, makes the assess
ment for county purposes at the same
time.
Naturally the City Equalization
Board will accept the values fixed on
city property by the county and
State equalizer. Therefore, the law
which causes the increase in assess
ment for State purposes is response
BILE for the increase in county and
city taxes as well.
| 1.-THE result of the recent increase
| in the city taxes of Paris will cause
| a loss in revenue to owners of city
property. In some cases this will re-
suit in increased rentals to the ten
nants of. residential and business
property"

BODY OF JOHN FOX, JR., PLACED
IN LAST RESTING PLACE.

In the presence of large assem-
blage of friends and relatives, the
body of John Fox, Jr., one the most
distinguished and best-known of
Bourbon county's long list Of men
who attained fame, was placed in it's
last resting place on the family lot
in the Paris Cemetery last Friday
afternoon. The body arrived from
Big Stone Gap, Va, his former home,
in the special car of Mr.. Miller, of
the Intra State Railroad, and was
taken to the home of Miss Lucy
Simms, on Mt. Airy avenue, where,
during the day, hundreds of friends
and acquaintance called to pay their
respects to the memory of one who
had helped to shed lustre upon the
name of his native county.
The funeral was held at the grave
side in the Paris Cemetery at five
o'clock, Friday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. w. E. ELLIS, pastor of the
Paris Christian church, in which Mr..
Fox's parents held membership dur
ing their residence here. The lot on
which the body was laid to rest is on
a sloping piece of ground, surround
ed fittingly, by a number of pine
trees, through whose boughs a re-
QUEEN for the soul that had passed,
could be heard. AS the body was be-
ing carried to the grave quartet
sang, Cast Thy Burdens On the
Lord" Selections from the Script
ures were read by Rev. Ellis, follow
ed by prayer. AS the body was low
cred in the grave the quartet sang,
christians Goodnight" The bene-
diction was pronounced, and the
grave clods closed over all that was
mortal of one who had contributed
his part to the world of letters and
who had made himself and his State
famous. The grave was banked high
with beautiful flowers, attesting the
esteem and love in which the people
held Mr.. Fox.
The casket was borne to the grave
by Hon. Claude M. Thomas, Judge H.
Clay Howard, William E. Simms,
Charles H. Berrymon, Upshar
Bergman and Edward Bassett,
all boyhood friends and in

LETTER PARTLY CLEARS AWAY
THE JAMES CAIN MYSTERY.

With the receipt of letter here
by Mrs. Walter Payne, who has been
prominently identified with the Red
Cross work in Bourbon county since
the beginning of The war, and more
lately in the Home Service work Of
that organization, it is thought that
a part of the mystery surrounding
the man who attempted to fleece MI.
John Cain out Of a sum of money.
has been cleared up. The details are
still fresh In the memory of the peo-
ple of this city.
When Mr.. Cain received tele-
gram on July purporting to be from
his SON, James Cain, asking that
twenty dollars be wired to him at
New London, Conn.,, it revived Mr..
Gains hopes that his son might be
really alive. Friends, however, knew
that it was the attempt of some
heartless person to extort money
from him. Decoy kilograms and
money orders were sent to
Noel Stevens" at New London,
Conn. In a few days a message came
here to the effect that Stevens" had
been arrested and was being held by
turned over to the military authori-
ties.
1t is said that the letter received
here by Mrs. Payne was written by
Noel Stivers, a former resident of
Paris. who is or has been in the ser
vice, and whose escapades have ap-
peared in print before. The letter,
it is alleged, told Mrs. Payne of his
arrest and detention for the military
authorities at New London on a
charge of impersonating a dead SOL
der, and attempting to secure money
by false pretenses. He admitted his
guilt, it is stated, but said, in ex-
tenuation of his offense, that he was
under the influence of liquor at the
time, and asked Mrs. Payne to try
to induce Mr.. Cain not to prosecute
him. The latter has not indicated
lust what steps will be taken, but il
is more than likely that the matter
will be carried out to the end. The
offender has been photographed by
the New London police, and as soon
as a copy of the photo reaches Paris
and the Identification is made abso,
Iutely certain, vigorous steps viii
follow.

FOR THE FATHERLESS chill
DREN OF FRANCE.

Mrs. Arthur B. Hancock, of Paris,
who is chairman in this county for
the Fatherless Children of France
Relief movement, is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. Phillip Posener, of
New York, Assistant Treasurer of
the fund, which is highly commenda-
tory of the work being carried on
in this city and county under Mrs.
Hancock's supervision. The letter
follows:
July 10, 1919.
Mrs A. B. Hancock,
Paris, Kentucky,
my Dear Mrs. Hancock:
Thank you for your letter Of July
Z. We do not believe that Paris,
Kentucky, which has made such a
splendid record for adoption of chill
dren, is going to desert the children
now.
Il am perfectly sure that you will
be able to take care of all the 155
children. When other cities are re-
alizing that in spite of the cessation
of hostilities the need is great, and
are making every effort and taking
their children for an additional year
Paris is not going to fall by the way
side. Surely, the name was taken
from the Paris of France, and you
are going to live up to it.
"Will you not, through the news
papers, appeal to the prid eof the
residents to hold up their end of the
work?
eff your committee cannot take
care of the children they will be
dropped. We have so many new
children waiting for adoption, and
each committee has it's own family tC
readopt, that we cannot transfer
them elsewhere.
with confidence that you will moi
let them suffer,
VERY sincerely yours,
PHILIP POSENER."

SHORTAGE IN SUGAR CAUSES
H0USEKEEPERS UNEASINESS

The sugar shortage in this city has
progressed to point where the local
grocers cannot go any further than
try to take care Of their own custo-
mers. The sweet stuff has become
really scarce, and 1T is probable THAI
1t will come to the point where the
allotment process in vogue durtn0
the war may again take effect unless
relief comes through the wholesalers.
1t was stated here Saturday that the
immediate cause of the shortage Is
the inabality of the wholesalers to
get the sugar from brokers or the re-
itineraries. Cars which usually bring
sugar to Paris at stated intervals to
supply the local demand have not are
rived for some time, and the prospect
for large supply is not encouraging.
A bumper crop of blackberries in
this section this year is affected by
the sugar famine in that large poF4
ton of the crop hitherto made into
preserves will this season not be put
up for winter sweets. The berries
have been coming into the Paris mar
ket for some time, but with no sugar
for preserving and canning, the only
demand for them will be for serving
them fresh.
The general opinion of wholesalers
is that the shortage will continue
throughout July and August, with
some relief in early September. The
movement on foot to stop the expor-
tation of sugar may bring about
some improvement in the situation.
The sugar shortage does not stop
with the granulated variety, but is
affecting the brown variety as well,
though the brown lasts longer, as
people will not use it as long as they
can get the granulated article.

most interest yet caused by Ken
lucky we'll. This will be completed
at a depth of 375 feet and from the
great flow of oil from the well when
it was shot The drillers reported
that it is good for at least 1000 bar
rels or possibly 5000. This is the
largest we'll that the Kentucky fields
have ever produced.
The announcement is made by
Abram Renick, president of the Nc
Combs Producing and Refining Com

the company have been sufficient to
! meet the payment of the quarterly
dividend for the period ending July
