UNSIGHTLY BILLBOARD REM0V-
ED FROM COURTHOUSE LAWN

The old billboard which was erect
ed on the court house lawn for pur-
pose Of displaying patriotic adver-
Using during the period of the world
war, was removed yesterday, having
served the original purpose. The old
board had been an eyesore. with Ills
tattered and torn paper dangling in
the breeze. 1t had also become a
shelter for mischevious children and
for more questionable purposes, so
that its removal serves a good end
and will give us again an uninter-
rupted view of the lawn. To stran-
gers coming to the city it was con-
slant source of wonder that the
the board has been permitted to dis
figure a pretty lawn so long. But
THE NEWS is satisfied that the OBJ
ject has been attained and on behalf
of the public extends vote of thanks
that the board has been taken away.

Governor ways and means by which
the cost may be reduced.
The new members of the Commits
sion appointed are, P. H. Callahan
M. r. Kendrick, ]. w. Slagie. Henry

Clothed with probably the broadcast
powers ever given a single body of
men in the State of Kentucky, the
Governors special commission will
begin sittings in Louisville, Thurs
day, in its fight on living costs.

of the Attorney General must be had
by the committee as it's sittings pro-
gress that it may be sure of the
ground it takes.
The sessions. which will be held in
the Seelbach Hotel, will take on the
semblance of grand jury meeting.
Housewives, householders, even chill
dren who have grievance can sug-
gest remedy, or who can give in
formation leading to detection of
profiteering, are invited to appear be-
fore it.
Retailers, wholesalers and manu-
facturers also will be called if the
evidence warrants and be confronted
with the facts CLEANED by the body.
Steps to be taken then will be con-
sidered after legal opinion. The meet
ing will open at 1890 o'clock at the
hotel and will continue until the
body's work is completed.

Election of officers and plans for
the perpetuation of their organiza-
ton, made last Monday, marked the
completion of the activities of the
Southern Club for the 1919 summer
session. At the final meeting of the
Executive Committee, which rules
the destinies of the Southerners, it

the Georgia Club, received the nomi-
nation for vice-president, but under
pressure, withdrew, and was elected

of his own State club, became the
new president The faculty is
represented in the person of DR.. w.

VOLUME XxxVIII
THIRTY HANCOCK YEARILNGS
BRING $143, 500 AT SARA
TOGA SALE.

Friday nights sale of yearlings al
most duplicated the frenzied action
of the record market last Wednesday
and at times the bidding surpassed
that of any former time and was not
confined to any particular pair, but
seemed to be general. The consign-
ment consisted Of the A. B. Hancock
and Claiborne and Ellerslie Stud bred
juveniles, mostly sired by Celt, but
IJltimus. Fair Play, Wrack and Jim
Gaffney also had sons and daughters
listed to go under the hammer.
There were thirty head in the Han
cock consignment and they sold for
a total of s143,500, or an average of
s4,7S3.40. Twelve other youngsters
that were sold comprised the proper
ty of Captain p. M. Walker, Samuel
Ross and Frank Shannon. The COM
bined forty-two head totaled the inn
mense sum of $4,000, or a grand
average of s4,214.30.
The star of the sale was the Celt-
Sand Dune colt offered by Mr. Han
cock. The bidding for this fellow
was general until the $4,000 mark
was reached, when it narrowed down
down to a three-cornered duel be-
tween Samuel D. Riddle, Commander
J. K. L. Ross and P. T. Chinn, the
latter acquiring him on his bid of
s22, The brown colt by Celt-
Patricia V. was another much COW
eted youngster, and he was bid on
with avidity to $4,000, at which
figure he was bought by w. H. Kar-
rick, acting for w. r. Coe. An out
standing incident attaching to the
sale of the Hancock consignment was
that not single offering from his es-
Enlistment brought less than ST.
600.

NEW ICE FACTORY STOCK STILL
ON THE BOOM.

Don't allow yourself to be deceived
into thinking that because of the
calm that has settled over the face of
Nature that the project for building
new ice factory in Paris has gone
by the board. The promoters are very
much alive, but are working so oui-
city that you have not preceived the
result of their efforts. But they are
there just the same, and the applica-
tions for stock are still rolling in.
Mr.. John Merringer, one of the
prime movers in the affair, stated to
THE NEWS man yesterday that tele-
phone inquiries as to the amount of
stock one person would take were
coming in almost daily and that all
indications pointed to a decidedly
healthy interest in the project. In
fact the subscriptions have reached
a point where the promoters have
begun considering the question of a
site for the factory, and other de-
tails are being considered having an
important bearing on the matter.
Whether the old plant passes into
new hands or not will have no effect
on. the determination of the promo
tiers to have competition here. 1t is
their aim to get everyone in the city
and county interested to the extent
of several hundred dollars worth of
stock each, and to that end they are
devoting all their efforts.
The local ice situation shows lit
tie better yesterday, as the cool
spell has had the effect of causing a
drop in the price from $1.00 per hun
dred to IS cents per hundred. The
wagons have been making their daily
rounds with more regularity and
with more ice, too, so that, on the
whole, there has been a decided i'm
provement in the supply.

SYNOPSIS OF PRESIDENTS MES
SAGE ON FOOD PROFIT
TEERING.

President Wilson laid several spe-
cific proposals before Congress, Frid-
day, for checking the high cost of
living, but at the same time declared
permanent results could not be ex-
pected until peace time basis was
fully restored by ratification of the
peace treaty.
High prices, the President told Con-
gress, were not justified by shortage
of supply, either present or
prospective, but were created in
many cases "artificially and deliber-
ately" by vicious practices" Re-
tailers, he said, were responsible in
large part for extortienate prices.
Strikes, the President warned the
labor world, would only make mat
tiers worse, and those who sought to
employ threats or coercion, were only
preparing their own destruction"
Leaders of organized labor, the Pres
ident said, he was sure would pres
emily yield to second sober thought.
Illegal and criminal" were the
words the President used in charac-
terizing the methods by which some
present-day prices have been brought
about.
Present laws, he said, would be en-
ergetically employed to the limit to
force out food hoarders, and meet the
situation so far as possible, but to
supplement the existing statutes he
specifically urged the following:
Licensing of all corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce, with
specific regulations designed to Sc
cure competitive selling and prevent
"unconscionable profits" is the meth
cd of marketing.
Extension of the food control act
to peace times and the application of
its provisions against boarding of
fuel, clothing and other necessities
of life as we'll as food.
A penalty in the food control act
for profiteering.
A law regulating sold storage,
limiting the time during which goods
may be held; prescribing method
of disposing of them if held beyond
the permitted period and requiring
that when released goods bear the
date of storage.
Laws requiring that goods released
from storage for interstate commerce
bear the selling prices at which they
went into storage and requiring that
all goods destined for interstate COM
merce bear the price at which they
left the hands of the producer.
Enactment of the pending bill for
the control of security issues.
Additional appropriations for gov
eminent agencies which can supply
the public with full information as
to prices at which retailers buy.
Early ratification of the peace
treaty so that the "free processes of
supply and demand" can operate.
Immediate steps by executive
agencies of the government promised
by the President included:
The limiting and controlling of
wheat shipments and credits to facil-
itate the purchase of wheat in such
a way as not to raise, but rather to
lower, the price Of -four at home.
Sale of surplus stock of food and
clothing in the hands of the govern
ment.
The forced withdrawal from stor-
age and sale of surplus stocks in pri-
vate hands.
General recommendations included:
Increased production.
Careful buying by housewives.
Fair dealing with the people on

nv GERMAN ARMY
According to Estimates Made In the
American Army of Occupation
from Available Infor-
rnafinu

With the American Army of 0ccupa-
ton, May 2.-The strength of the new
German army or Reichswehr has provis-
ionally been fixed at 24l 800 men, ae-
eording to information recently reaching
American officers in charge OF keeping
tab on the rehabilitation and readjust-
ment of enemy forces. There are TO be
Is large and II small hrigades, the large
brigades to have l0,462 men each and
the small brigades 1889 men each Corps
troops are to number 5,45S and general
headquarters troops about 10000 men,
according to the present plans.
Now that the 1899 class of the old
German army is rapidly being discharged
from all units excepting a few in the
guard corps and on the eastern front,
there soon will remain in the garrsons
throughout Germany only two classes of
troops-the new and independent volun-
teer units and the volunteer remnants
of the old army units. Some of the
volunteer remnants have been planning
to combine with the new independent
volunteer units for the Reichswehr, but
in many other instances il is apparent
they are simply drifting, awaiting some
decision by the war ministry as to their
future. Reports that the war ministry
is planning to maintain small garrisons
in every town indicate the possibility
that these remnants are 70 remain in
the old departments, rather than be
transferred into the new volunteer units.
