MASSIE HOSPITAL.

Since the establishment of the
Massie Memorial Hospital in this
city it has been an annual custom
for the people Of the city and county
to donate supplies for the pantry
just before the Thanksgiving and
Christmas holiday season. Their
contributions have been the means
of bringing good cheer to the shut

strated the truth of the old adage
that ut is more blessed to give than
to receive" Both work equally well
in this case. The MANAGEMENT of
the Hospital makes the request for
donations for Thanksgiving as
usual
Donations of potatoes, cabbage,
flour, meal, meats, canned goods,
preserves, jellies and all kinds of
edibles are asked. They will be sent
for II the donors will give their
location, or they may be left at any
store in Paris where they will be
forwarded, if the Hospital is noti-
fed. Let us all give nice donations
for this splendid institution. Every
little gift will help greatly, and
will help some unfortunate to real
ize the goodness of Thanksgiving.
Donations may be sent direct to the
Hospital, or left at the C. P. Cook
& Co.. LAWN & Connell or Logan
Howard groceries, where they will
be called for.

ALLEGED CHECK-W0RKER AND
AUTO THIEF ARRESTED

Paris authorities were notified
Saturday of the arrest in Louisville
of R. H. Baker, a former resident of
Paris, who is alleged to have victim
lied any number of Paris merchants
by passing worthless checks. and
who was further wanted" here on a
charge of embezzlement and making
way with an auto belonging to Mr..
]. NJ. Scott.
While in Paris, Baker conducted a
taxi cab business in stand on
Main street, between Seventh and
Eighth streets. He also conducted a
dry cleaning establishment on Fifth
street, with the assistance of his
wife, they apparently doing a thriv-
ing and prosperous business. Baker
sold out his dry cleaning business,
and being an expert auto mechanic,
took position with the Oakland
Garage, later embarking in the taxi
cab business.
About four months ago Baker is
said to have purchased National
touring car from J. M. Scott for
5000, making several small pay
ments. When Mr.. Scott was away
from his place of business Baker
disappeared with the car, which he
had purchased and another of the
same make, valued at $1,000. All
trace of him was lost until Mrs
Baker wrote back from Louisville to
the people with whom she resided in
Paris, asking that her clothes be
forwarded to her at Louisville. The
Louisville authorities were notified
and soon had Baker under arrest.
The machine on which he had made
the payments, had already been re-
covered by Mr.. Scott, and the second
machine had been sold to Magistrate
Peake, of Louisville. Baker is said
to be wanted" in other towns,
where he had left string of worth
less checks and unpaid accounts be-
hind him.
Deputy Sheriff James Gibson. of
Paris, was sent to Louisville to
bring Baker here, but was headed
off in Lexington, Sunday night, by
q message from the Louisville au-
thorities stating that they had de-
cided to prosecute Baker on the
charges brought against him there
before turning him over to the Paris,
Mt Sterling, Lexington and Win
chester authorities, where he is be-
ing wanted"

Dealers Predict Sugar
Shortage After January

Sugar is nearly as scarce an article
as coal, and dealers advise the utmost
care and conservation until after Jan
uary I. Wholesale and car-lot dealers
are advising local merchants that the
supply will be very short until the
first Of the year. At that time it is
expected that some Hawaiian sugar
viii be released and some more Cali
fornia beet sugar.
Southern sugars are scare. as the
crop Of cane in Louisiana of late years
is made into cattle feed, due to the
fact that the Democratic Congress re-
moved the duty on sugar, thus making
it too costly for the Louisiana men to
refine it. 1t mas been found that the
cane makes a wonderful base for pat
ent cattle feeds.
Most OF the Southern cane is lost to
the sugar consumer and the old-fash
Toned brown sugar and molasses have
scared in price, due to the manufac
tare of cattle feed. Sorghums are used
extensively for the same purpose, ac-
counting for their high price.-Kansas

SILkS--Jobbers
buying Goods Freely

Within the last few DAYS johbers
nave been large buyers of silk goods.
Distributors for mills and mill agents
report that the jobbers are Swapping
up all available supplies in anticipa
non of heavy demand from retailers
ana garment manufacturers in January
and February. Retailers are buyinc
only small lots for filling in purposes
now, and arc not placing spring orders
to any great extent.
Garment manufacturers are light
buyers now, although normally this
should be their heavy buying season.
Their absence from the market is ex
planned on the ground that MANY of
them have silks left over from their
fall season and others are waiting for
developments in the ready to-wear in
dustry before making known their
spring wants.
One mill distributor said Yesterday
that two Of the largest drygoods Job
bcrs in Chicago p aced heavy orders
for spring merchandise in the local
market. within the last two DAYS and
that other Western jobbers also were
active buyers. Present purchases run
largely to taffetas and satins, which
are expected to be the leading SIX
dress fabrics for the spring season.

Buying of leather gloves for the

that both wholesalers and retailers are

order to take care of at least part of
being compelled TO enter the market at
this late period and scrape up the little
stock available at much higher prices
than they were asked to pay earlier in
the season.
Shipments from France continue to
be exceedingly slow. so much so that
plans Of importers for late December
delivery will have to be changed I'M
modiately. During the long horemens
. Ike many cases, instead of being un-
loaded. were returned to France, and
on account OF shipping troubles abroad
have not yet been delivered at New

Noticeable in the holiday trade is the
high REGARD held for the strapped wrist
styles in the six-button length. This
lyle is said to be so popular that it is
likely TO continue dominant through
out the early spring and open the fall
and winter season of 1920. Another
pronounced feature is the continued
preference for elaborate patterns. The
plain, simple embroideries are receiv-
ing little attention. and the more in

better they are liked. One OF the new
novelties that is exceedingly popu ar

German Billion-Dollar
Premium Loan Fails
Press Blames Erzberger for

100000 marks, contributed the mini
mum amount accepted. Tie govern
ment announced to-day that it wou d
contribute the balance needed to bring
the total to q 100000 900 marks
Many of the Berlin newspapers dis
cuss the failure Of the loan and draw
the conclusion that its undersubscrip-
tion denotes utter lack of confidence
in tte government. Some of the
Newspapers blame Matthias Erzberrer
Minister Of Finance, while others de-
clare that it means defeat of the
governr' cnt
The "Deutsche Tages7citung" calls it
"Erzberger's fasco." This newspaper
poit.s out that it had been hoped 20
obtain 5000 100000 marks (s1 .25o o0o,-
000), and that as half the subscrip-
tions will be paid in war loan securi-
ties. the country will get only 190o,-
900 900 (S475. 5.000000) in cash, or
enough to keep the nation in operation

The capitalists no longer have any
thing for the nation, which already is
approaching bankruptcy Die Freiheit'

is socialism. but that the governme Mt,
with the strong support of the ma jor-

Overcoated Natives in
Tropics Surprise Marines

ST. THOMAS, Y. l., Dec. l5.- United
States marines garri onlng these new
possessions of Uncle Sam can't under
stand the fashions affected Dy the ma
tlvcs. Just why Il negro or q Cha-Cha
Indian should wear an overcoat when
the Thermometer stands at 100 in the
shade still mystities the sea soldiers"
Many Of the MARINES here have seen
service in the neighborng island OF Hay
ii, where clothes are the least consdera
ton OF the natives. But as soon as a
new arrival reaches these shores he is
approached by natives begging Tor his
cast-off clothing.
For some strange reason the native
Virgin Islander believes in wearing
every article OF c4oehlng he en- 44y
hands on. All American holidays are
now celebrated by the natives, who
spend the day parading about the
streets, some of them wearing over
coats, capes, two or more pairs OF trou-
sers and red bandanna handkerchief
about the neck. Also they frequently
adorn themselves with the horns of
cows or oxen attached to the head just
in front of the ears.
