STARTS FIGHT

Senator Knox Offers
Resolution To Sepa-

of Peace.

Washington.--A resolution to have
the Senate declare it could not con-
cur in the League Of Nations provis-
ions Of the peace treaty as now
drawn, was introduced Tuesday by
Senator Knox, republican, of Penn
slyvania, member of the Foreign
Relations Committee.
The resolution which is expected
to bring a more definite stage to the
fight made against the League COW
enant, asks that the covenant be
separated from the peace treaty be-
fore being submitted to the Senate
for ratification.
At Knox's request, the resolution
was referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee.
Knox offered his resolution after
a conference with Chairman Lodge.
Apparently it will have the support
Of most Of those who have conducted
the fight against the League and is re-
garded as notice to the Paris peace
conference that ratification Of the
treaty with the League covenant in
terwoven with the terms of settle
ment is opposed.
The resolution also proposed that
the treaty be so drawn that the
League of Nations question can be
reserved for consideration by the
people Of any nation, without affect
ing Germany's obligations in the ac-
tual settlement Of the peace terms.
1t is proposed TO have the Senate de-
clare it the policy of the United
States that should the peace Of Eur
ope again be threatened. the states
will regard such a situation as men,
ace to itself and would pledge the
nation, if necessary, to go to the de-
Tense of civilization again.

WAREHOUSE
Work Progressing Rap
idly And Foundation
About Completed.
NEW SWITCH COMPLETED.

Work on the Garrard Tobacco
Warehouse is progressing rapidly and
from the amount of labor being en-
ployed one would think Lancaster is
building cantonment that would ac-
commodate several regiments of SOL
diers.
The directors and officers of the
company are seeing to it that every
cent put into the building is well
spent and that the company will get
value received. The railroad switch
which will prove Of great value to tai.
house, was completed several weeks
ago and ali material used in The con-
struction of the building is being
handled from the switch direct.
The excavation of the basement las
about been completed, which will ac-
commodate several hundred horses.
-Four pricing houses will be bulit
alongside the railroad and under the
same roof Of the main building.
To give some idea Of the size of
this building, we will state that it will
take seven hundred squares of roof
ing to cover it. This roofing has
been purchased and is the best that
can be bought.
Contracts to the amount of $780,
900 have already been let out; S12,-
900 of this amount goes for the steel
work alone. Mr.. J. c. Miller of L.
banon has contracted to do the work
and furnish the material except the
roofing and the steel, his contract
calling for $4,000. The foundation
for the entire building will be COM
plcted by the last of the week. Moth
ing will be left undone to make it one
of the best if not the very best loose
leaf house in the state of Kentucky

at Louisville on June % and lasts
through June 26th, promises to be ore
Of the greatest meetings yet hello by

any Of the schools, all of which will
have been closed by that time.
Miss Jennie Higgins, our county
superintendent is exceedingly anxious
that Garrard county be represented
by large delegation and the follow
ing letter from State Superintendent
V. o. Gilbert should be Of interest to
those who anticipate attending. The
letter to Miss Higgins reads:
MY Dear Superintendent
We are approaching the most i'm
portant meeting of the Educational
forces of Kentucky that has ever con-
vened. The conditions make this
meeting of the Kentucky Educational
Association one of the most strategic
that has met in the state.
The problems confronting us of re-
construction, rehabilitation after the
close of the war. and the terrible
endemic of flu, are to be largely met
and overcome at this meeting. 1t is
all important that We have not only
great attendance but that we give
great and earnest attention to laying
plans and formulating policies that
will prevent the schools from losing
ground. We are faced with a great
shortage of teachers. Salaries are
Inadequate, many of the experienced
teachers who went away to do war
work viii not return Our forces are
not only crippled, but very much de
noralied. We should all get together
at Louisville June 23-26th and put
our irtellects, souls and hearts in the
work of planning to have great
school year.
| sincerely hope that you will not
only enlist your teachers and trus-
tees to attend this meeting but will
also invite strong citizens who are in
terested in these problems. Let us
have a great constructive meeting.
Expecting to see you there and
with best wishes, am,
Yours very truly,

State Superintendent

Do Your Shop
ing EARLY.

Perhaps few people know that
there is state law prohibiting pro-
prietors from working any Of their
female help over ten hours day and
this law is being enforced to the let
ter over the entire state.
Several of our local merchants en-
ploy lady clerks and none would think
Of violating the law in this respect
nor would they care to demand any
longer hours Of them should there be
no law against il.
But the object of this notice is to
remind the patrons Of the various
stores of the city, to do their shop
ping early. This is especially meant
and intended to apply to Saturday
night trading.
Many patrons are seen shopping after
the picture shows close on Saturday
night and some Of the stores are
forced to keep open until nearly
twelve o'clock. This should not be
the case.
Do your shopping early and give
the worn out and tired clerks a much
needed rest.

MERGE REVENUE
OFFICES JULY
Kentucky Reorganiza-
ton Is Ready For
Presidents In
dorsement.
dOrSennent.
Cronan Will Be Chief.

Washington, June 10.-Plans for
reorganization of the five internal
revenue districts in Kentucky have
been completed by the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, it became known to-day
and will be put into effect July /, the
beginning of the new fiscal year, pro-
vided President Wilson issues the ex-
ecutive order authorizing the merger
of the several districts by that time,
and there is no reason to assume he
will be tardy in taking that action.
These plans provide for abolish
ment Of four of the five internal rev.
enue districts in Kentucky. The Of
fees Of the Collectors at Owensboro,
Lexington, Cov'ny;on and Daavil!e
are to go. while IRE one at Louisville
will be enlarr- ] and retained
1ns.4li Of five separate and dis
tinct internal revenue districts in the
Comm ,n"ealtt orly one district, en-
bracing the entire State, will be main
tanned, the headquarters of which will
be at Louisville.
1t became known to-day that nire
branch offices of the new consolidated
district will be established as follows:
Greensboro, Lexington, Covington,
Danville. Paducah, Ashland, Middles-
boro. Newport and Bowling Green.
The salary Of the collector at
Louisville will be $4,000 year.
while that of the deputy collector of
each of the nine branch offices will
be $4,000 a year.
Charles j. Cronan, Louisville. is
slated for the collectorship and un-
less the unexpected happens his nomi-
nation will be sent to the Senate with
in fortnight. That it will be con-
firmed promptly by the Senate is a
certainty as both Senators Beckham
and Stanley are for his appointment
Deputy collectors have not been
selected, according to the best infor-
nation obtainable tonight. 1t would
surprise no one here if the chief
clerks of the offices at Greensboro,
Danville, Lexington and Covington
are promoted to deputy collectorships
when those offices become branches
of the general internal revenue office
at Louisville.
Deputy collectors will be appointed
in due time to have charge of the new
branch offices at Paducah, Ashland,
Middlesboro, Newport and Bowling
Green. Each of the branch offices, it
is said, will have an office force ag-
about ten men.
The collectors who will lose their
positions under the reorganization
plan are: Joseph 7. Griffith. collector
of the Second district, Owensboro;
Charlton d. Thompson, collector of
the Sixth district, Covington: Elwood
Hamilton, collector of the Seventh
district, Lexington, and John W.
Hughes, collector of the Eighth dis
trict, Danville.
