SAFETY WEEK" ON
|. AND N. RAILROAD
Local Officials, Under Trainmaster
Duvali, Plan to Have Whole Week
Without Accident.

Local officials of the L. & N. Rail-
road, under w. S. Duvall, master of
trains, are preparing for a Safety
Week." which will be in effect over
the entire L. & N. system.
The idea is to prevent single ac-
cident during the week January goth
to 26th, inclusive. The movement is
conducted under the immediate su-
pervision of R. L. Billings, supervi-
sor of safety of the L. & N. system,
who calls attention to the fact that
for the same week last year one man
was killed and Sc injured on the L.
& N. The movement is a part of
the original Safety First" campaign
launched by the railroads of the coun-
try several years ago, and il is
thought by taking one particular
week the extra efforts to prevent ac.
cidents will establish precedent fol
future similar efforts if the desidec
results obtain.

the work to travel now in this man

TOBACCO MARKET
IS ON UPGRADE;
BOOST in PRICES
w. B. Kennedy's Report From Padu-
cab for Last Week Says Not Possi-
bic to Forecast Top Prices.

w. B. Kennedy's report on the
dark tobacco situation, for the past
week, as mailed from Paducah, says:
Owing to the unfavorable weather
conditions offerings on the wagons
and loose leaf floor sales have been
rather light during the last week.
Still there has been considerable to-
bacco selling on the wagons and pri-
ces have been very strong and salts
factory to sellers.
There is more trading going on in
the country at the barn doors than
at any time before this season. This
is having some effect on the wagon
markets since prices are about the
same at the barn door as on the
streets, and some farmers prefer sell
ling their entire crop this way than
hauling it to market and selling it
a load at time. Taking the wagon
and country markets together would
say there has been more activity and
more tobacco sold than any other
week this season.
The tendency of the market is
toward higher levels and we estimate
that prices are from so cents per
hundred higher on an average than
last week. There was more good and
medium tobacco in the offerings and
larger proportion of leaf selling at
20 to "a cents than any previous
sales, and while prices show stronger
and the general average higher there
has been some improvement in the
quality of the offerings.
Prices for tobacco have gone be-
yond our expectations, and just what
prices may be later is a guess. At
present practically all the large buy
ing interests are in the market, but
some Of Them are getting very little
tobacco, while the larger buyers show
willingness to continue buying al
the advanced prices, and if their de-
mands will keep them in the market
this will force higher prices ON the
buyers who are less bullish, and We
may see higher level than haA de
veloped so far However, prices are
| higher than we ever saw then and We
may see reaction to lower prices
but there must be radical change il
buyers if this happens. One thinl
that will improve the price of. tobac
co is putting it in better keeping con
dition, and we have seen some i'm
provement in this during the pas
week.

of the West Paris Methodist church
was made county Chairman, and
Judge D. T. Spaulding, E. B. Niece
hee and w. w. Astles appointed ex-

In appeal to the people, County
Chairman Clayton says:
NEARLY four million helpless old
men, women and children in Bible
lands, are now reaching out their
hands for a crust of bread. After
being driven from their homes and
made to wander for hundreds of
miles, over period Of three years,
these hungry, ragged, thin forms are
now trying to get back home. As
they go their hearts are sad because
one million of their fellows have died
of starvation along the way, and they
must see their homes dilapidated or
destroyed, without food or any way
to make it. But saddest of all, will
be the Thought that thousands of
them will not be greeted by husbands,
fathers and brothers.
"a national drive for helping these
sufferers is on this week from Jan.
18th to 10Th. But the late selection
of county chairman made it nee
essary for Henry county to be one
week late. So our drive will extend
from Jan. 10th to 26th.
/ with our great president and the
best men of our country thoroughly
back of this move; and as we well
come our own victorious boys back
to happy homes; surely we will not
refuse to give our Eastern neighbors
chance to live. Their lives are in
our hands; their bony fingers knock
on our doors; their weak, fainting
voices are calling to us; and THEN
Christ is still speaking 'as oft as you
have done it unto the least of these
We have done it unto me-.
"Will the mere excuses of toe
many calls, or 4 am tired of giving
stand the test when we stand before
Him?

Plating Memphis-L Louisville
Air Route.

=
Their work consists of designing
an air mail route from Memphis to
Louisville, KY. Whether or not a
station will be established here they
were not IN position to say. However,
Paris is logical intermediate termi-
nal for airships out of Memphis by
reason of it being about as far as
they can go without replenishing the
supply of gas. 1t will be recalled
that several ships out of Park Field
this summer passing over here des-
tined to points north, had to land
here for gas. In fact, it pushed
\ some of them on windy days to get
here.
Air Travel to be Commonplace
In Near Future.
With an era of successful air nav
igation already at hand, it is only a
matter of a short time, apparently,
until air travel will be commonplace.
Airplane mail service in the East has
already proven practicable; the mail
planes go back and forth between
New York, Philadelphia, and Wash
ington day after day in good and bad
weather and prove themselves fully
efficient. An extension of the air
mail service from the above points
to Chicago is another proposed inn
mediate step in developing air mail
extension. In fact, it is said that the
Postoffice Department has laid out
more than 200 air mail routes thro'-
out the country already.
Is Economical Operation.
A feature of the air mail service
is said to be the remarkable economy
in cost of operation to the Postoffice
Department that will be effected. The
cost of the ships will be infnitesima
for such big adventure as they cost
very little, if any more than higf
grade automobile, and will make
more than ten miles on gallon Of
gasoline. The cost of fabrication Il
only one or two cents a mile. Be
sides the economical operation, ther'
i to be considered the more rapit
d;snatch of mails, and the better for
warding than via rail on account O.
being able to build schedules to sui
tbe various routes via air, withou
regard to any passenger serve
which the railroads now have to con
tend with Too, the railroad postof
fees are now said to be overburdene'
with MARCEL post matter and the nan
al;ny 3Sof first-class mail by air WI
greatly relieve the overburden' an
decrdse the number of railway ma
clerk. as well as take care OF Tn
stesssTy- increasing business withou
anv Material increase in the pay rol
OF course the air mail service
now in its infancy, but with the clos
Of the war, and the development Q
the fyirg machine and the trainln
of aviators, it is only logical al
snme that the energy which has thu
haen directed can be turned to con
mercial purposes.
