THE ICE FAMINE ACUTE; TALK
OF NEW PLANT.

Perhaps the most absorbing theme
OF conversation on the streets of
Paris, in business houses, and even
In homes, where the torrid heat
FORCES the situation squarely upon
the attention Of the takers, is the
scarcity Of ice In Paris, and the i'm
probability Of immediate relief from
What is proving a serious shortage of
that necessary article.
In the past few days the situation
mas reached an acute stage. The
paris Ice Manufacturing Company
Hhas been able to furnish but a linn
sited, supply, and is unable to get ice
from the ice plants in surrounding
towns, where the famine is also be-
ginning to be manifest. On many
streets in the city last Monday the
wagons failed to make their appear
ance, and those who managed to To-
cate one of them only secured a very
small amount. Restaurants, soft
drink and soda water stands, hotels,
boarding houses, private homes, bus
I1ness houses, and in fact, almost
.every line Of human endeavor keenry
feel the absence Of the cooling arti-
.cle. In many families where there is
ssickness it has been almost impossi-
sble to secure enough ice for cooling
drinking water. Appeals sent out to
Hneighboring towns ELECTED the reply
that they could barely furnish
enough for their own patrons, and
THAT none could be spared for out
Esiders. While this condition has ex-
listed in Paris every summer for the
spast few years, to a more or less
marked degree, it has been worse this
Season, and the chances are that it
may be worse the coming season. In
scidently, it may be remarked, that
price to the consumer has steadily
risen, until, it is said, eighty-five
cents per hundred pounds is being
Enlarged at the present time. Some
time ago it was stated that the rea-
son for the shortage in ice at that
time was due to the low stage of wa
ter and the warm temperature of the
water in Stoner creek, which is the
principal source Of the ice-making
plants supply.
Realizing the fact that the health
of the community has been placed in
jeopardy and that there is no pros
pect of relief at present movement
was started a few days ago by a num-
Der of public-spirited citizens to form
a stock company for the purpose of
securing a site and erecting an ice
manufacturing and storage plant
with sufficient capacity to supply
more than the needs of the people of
this city and county. Petitions were

THE AUGUST PRIMARY ELECTION

! 1V-IoiIoW morning at SIX O'clOck
the polls in the various voting places
in the city and county will be open.
ed for the battle of ballots in the city
and county in which candidates
for the nomination for State Office
will be waged. The polls will be
open from six in the morning until
four in the afternoon, at the end OF
which time somebody will be tiff
nominee and someone else will have
been defeated.
In this county very little interest
has been manifested in the election
The campaign managers of both Gov
Black and Judge Carroll have been
| actively at work, and the county is
; claimed for both by small majorities.
But the result will be told in the tab
ulation OF the vote tomorrow night.
| Besides the races for the State Offices
candidates for Representatives from
Bourbon county in the next Legisla-
ture, James H. Thompson, Democrat,
! and N. A. Moore, Republican, will be
opponents. Candidates for the City
Council will be the only local races
in contention.
1t was stated yesterday that the
men who have been named as Off
GERS for the election to serve Satur-
day must positively appear promptly
or they will hear from the authori-
ties. 1t was said that owing to the
F; failure of the men named to meet
and prepare for their work at the va
rious voting precincts at prior cleo
tons, it had been decided to have
officials take the names Saturday OF
all who do not appear, and these
names will be given to the authori-
ties for future action.
For years 1T has been a practice
! amounting almost to custom in some
places for men who did not feel so
disposed, to fail to appear as officers
Of election. 1t has been decided to
put stop to this practice.
This is the first primary election
we have had in Kentucky when
there was no distinctive issues repre-
sented by the opposing candidates for
Governor. There is no really mate
rial issue between Black and Carroll.
They are both clever gentlemen, and
a great many Democrats have no
especial choice between them. There
is nothing to stir up any special
commotion about, and that is the rea-
son for the apparent Indifference
among so many Democrats. They
are willing to vote for either Black
or Carroll and many of them don't
care a tinker which one is nominated
But
The Republicans are claiming that
the apathy in the Democratic ranks
over the primary tomorrow argues
well for Republican success in No
vember. They are hugging a delu-
sion. There is no party apathy, it is
only apathy in the matter of choos-
ing a candidate. The camp-fires of
Democracy will be lighted on every
hill top and in every valley, and the
"boys in the trenches" are going to
see to it that the boast of the Re-
publicans that they are going to
carry Kentucky shall not be verified
by the election returns.

IN THE WHIRL OF KENTUCKY
STATE POLITICS.

A crowd estimated at about $500
heard Gov. James d. Black speak on
Cheapside, in Lexington, Wednesday
night, in the interest of his candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for Governor. A large number, Of
his supporters and admirers from
Paris and the county were in the au-
dience. In his speech Gov. Black
paid his respects to his opponents and
the Louisville Post, in particular.
During his stay he was guest at the
home of Mr.. Harry Miller, on Sayre
avenue, returning to Frankfort after
the speaking. Shortly after the Gov
ernor's speech, Mr.. M. NJ. Logan made
a speech from the same stand
in behalf of the candidacy of Judge
John d. Carroll, who was unable to
be present.

$50 BONUS TO BE PAID
TO SOLDIERS DISCHARGED
SINCE APRIL 6, 1917

Section 1906 of the revenne act
approved FEBRUARY "a, 1919, auth
orizes the payment of bonus of
$4,000 to officers, soldiers, field
clerks and nurses of the army upon
honorable separation from active SER
vice by discharge, resignation or
otherwise. This bonus is not payable
to the heirs or representatives of
any deceased soldier.
Those who are, discharged here
after will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher upon which
they are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $4,000 bonus, should
write a letter to the Zone Finance
office, Lemon Building, Washington,
D. c., stating their service since
April 6, 1917, the date of last dis
charge and their present address to
which they desire their bonus checks
to be sent and enclosing with this
letter their d1Scharge certificate or
military order for discharge or both,

information and the soldiers dis
charge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and mailed

It is estimated that at least a mil
lion and quarter persons have been
discharged from the service who are
entitled to the benefits Of this act
and while payments will be made
as expeditfously as practicable, it will
manifestly take considerable time to
write and mail this many checks.

BIG STEEL BRIDGE REPAIRED

Our readers will remember that
during the spring freshet of 1918,
one of the round piers supporting one
side of two arches of the wagon
bridge over Snake river west of town
sunk some. Our report at the time
was that it sunk about six inches,
but when it was surveyed it was
found to be thirteen inches it had
sunk, but it did not look it on the
long spans.
The commissioners put the work
Of repairs In the hands of John Be-
gum, now Of Rigby, but formerly of
Jameston this county, and he COM
pleted the task the first of this week.
Three jacK-screws were needed for
raising the steel work to it's proper
level, and the railroad company
loaned them to us from their Poca-
tello shops. They furnished two
fifteen-ton screws, and one fifty-ton,
Capable of raising fifteen and fifty
tons respectively After it was lifted
into proper position, they blocked up
under 1t with short pieces Of railroad
iron and built it up with concrete.
The work was commenced some
time ago and they were interrupted
by storms. They began again the
eighth of March.
Regarding the small bridge over
the Blackfoot that we reported in
bad condition and in need Of tighten
ing some time ago F. w. Pei
key stated that the plans were ap-
proved. by the government engineer,
and that If the bridge was not hold
ing up right it was because it was
not put together right.
Mr.. Begun, who was in charge of
erection, stated that it was all right
when 1t was completed and accepted,
but that If it has become loose it
is due to timbers shrinking, and the
rods will need to be frightened.

WHY THEY DID NOT GET
"OVER THERE" IN FRANCE

Nearly all the men who failed to
cross the deep Atlantic to 70 on the
war path versus the Huns were
deeply disappointed. Nearly all the
men who did get over there used to
envy the fellows who were lucky
enough to be in snug American
camps with regular mail, American
grub, American money, sunshine and
chance to hear our own language
spoken.
Many of the men held over here
were the first to enlist in the cause.
and 1t naturally grieves them that
the good of the service should reouire
them as they won promotions to re-
main In America teaching other men
the military tricks. who were des-
tined to cross and get into the big
mix. A large number Of these non
commissioned officers, who thus
served as backbone and nucleus for
organizations refilled several times
with new recruits wanted to 90 to
France the worst way and tried to
resign their jobs that held them from
going, but not many were allowed
to 90 that. The war department.
wanted them to remain and serve
behind the scenes. It was not their
fault, and the inward rewards of a
sense of duty performed must he
their chief asset. 1t was really the
Huns fault for quitting the game
or our fault for not fighting earlier
than we did. So it's a pretty good
idea to give the fellow second look
who didn't get to France, very likelv
1t was on account of his own con,
sarned efficiency.-F C X. WI

STILL FOSTERING THE EDITOR

Of The Republican has a blister at

The office force read the proofs
