NO RELIEF FROM SUGAR SHORT.
AGE UNTIL NOV. /.

According to a local grocer, and
also a confidential assurance from an
employee of one of the largest
wholesale houses, it was stated yes
terday to THE NEWS man that re-
lief from the present threatening
shortage may be expected about Nov
1, at which time large quantities of
beet sugar may be expected on the
market. Most refineries will start
handling the beet product by that
time, said our informant.
Although there is expected to be
plenty of sugar for household use,
there will likely be shortage at
soft drink stands and manufacturing
places of soft drinks where consider
able sugar is required. Since prohi-
bition went into effect the demand
for soft drinks has increased many
times, resulting in a large increase
in the amount Of sugar used.
The shortage of cane sugar is still
very serious and grocers have found
it necessary to limit the amount each
householder may purchase. Unless
the housekeeper uses economy in
handling and using sugar she will
find herself confronted with exactly
the same conditions that obtained
some months ago, when sugar was
hard to obtain at any price and un-
der any circumstances.

THOUGHT THEY HAD STRUCK
"A DIPPY ONE

During the working of the Chap
ter Degree by Paris Lodge of Ma
sons on the third floor of the Mason
lc Temple, in this city, one night
last week, the attention of a num-
Der of the the members was attract
ed by the peculiar actions of a man
In room on the top floor of the
Windsor Hotel, opposite the lodge
room.
The man had broomstick in his
hands, which he was frantically
waving, occasionally STOPPING to the
floor to pick up some object, which
he placed in a different position ON
the floor. Then he would repeat
the maneuvers, over and over again.
Judge Chas. A. Mcmillan called the
attention of DR.. Avonia Kiser and
JOS. H. Ewalt to the strange actions
of the man, and suggested that there
was something wrong, and that the
hotel people should be notified. The
trio came to the conclusion that the
man was demented Thinking he
might possibly be brother Mason
in distress they went to the hotel,
and made their mission known to the
night clerk. Accompanied by the
clerk they went to the room, and,
on knocking, the door was promptly
opened. On the bed on an opposite
side of the room, where where they
could not have been seen from the
window in the Masonic Lodge room
sat two young men. 1t developed
that the supposed demented man was
a golf enthusiast, and was demon
strating to his cronies a number of
fancy and difficult plays just as they
should have been played on the
golfing links. Judge Mcmillan and
his friends retired with an expressed
determination to let supposedly de-
mented men alone hereafter.

PREDICTS INCREASED VOTE
FOR BLACK IN BOURBON

The Richmond Daily Register of
Saturday has the following:
THAT Black will carry Bourbon
county by a record majority, larger
than she has gone Democratic in
years was the prediction of Hon.
James H. Thompson, and Col. VIM.
Remington, of Paris, who were in
Richmond, Saturday morning, for a
short time with friends. Mr..
Thompson is the Democratic nomi-
nee for the Legislature from Bour-
bon and as he has no opposition
from the Republicans, his calling
and election is sure. He is a can
date for Speaker of the House and
is making short whirl over the
blue grass section looking for votes.
He saw Tom Collins, Democratic
nominee in Madison while here and
from here went on to Lincoln,
Lincoln, Boyle and Mercer. 1t has
been reported that Will T. Beckham,
who will be Shelby's representative
will also be candidate for the
Speakership, but it is hardly be-
lieved that a contest will develop
between Beckham and Thompson.
Thompson is prominent farmer and
business man of Bourbon. He has
many friends here and was intro
duced around by T. ]. Curtis Col.
Remington is the veteran editor Of
the Paris Democrat, and a brother of
Mrs. VIM. Howard, of this city.

Louisville, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Campaign Speakers Blu
reau, United States Senator J.. C.. w.
Beckham will address the voters of
Bourbon county at the court house
in this city at 200 o'clock, this
(Tuesday) afternoon, in the interest
of the Democratic candidates on the
State tickets. There has been much
misunderstanding as to the date and
time for the speaking, but this an
nouncement definitely sets the date
as this afternoon. Senator Beckham
will come here from Ashland, where
he spoke to.a large audience last
night. Representative J. Campbell
Cantrill has been assigned by the
Bureau to Bourbon county for two
speeches the afternoon and evening
of Thursday, October %, at Little
Rock and Centerville respectively.
The people of Bourbon know both
speakers well, and they will need no
commentator to the Democrats of
the county.
The dates fixed for Senators
Beckham and Stanley are subject to
cancellation in case it is necessary
for them to return to Washington
and vote on the peace treaty or
amendments.

TRENCH MOUTH" NEW DIS
- EASE GOING ROUNDS

There's a new disease going the
the rounds in Paris, at least it is re-
ported by physicians as being a new
one in the local field. The disease

kissing, and is a species of disease Of
the gums. The physicians have
given it the name of trench mouth. |"
and have issued warnings to the
Er6bffc against fndungfng in too much
kissing. If the trench mouth" is
followed by trench fever" it viii
take all the joy out of life, even for
the rusty old bachelor. whe occa-
sionally grabs kiss from some little
baby, and the political candidate
who kisses all the babies of his con-
stituents will have to get himself in
oculated against the germs, bacilli.
and all those other demons that get
into fellows system.

-while. and then ate second meal.
Tn a short time he complained of
feeling i'll. and called to his mother

hand I'D to his mouth and gasped a
few time, falling over on the floor

help. Coroner Davis held an inves-
tigation yesterday afternoon, the

HANDSOME COMPLIMENT TO
BOURBON'S REPRESENTATIVE

Editor w. Remington in the Paris
Democrat of Saturday, has the fol-
lowing complimentary notice of
Bourbon's nominee for Representa-
tive, under the hand of "The Right
Speaker" The Democrat picks Mr..
thompson as logical candidate for
Speaker of the House. The article
follows:
This year the Democratic party
in Kentucky is fighting for it's fu-
ture right to live, not for the next
four years, because the character of
the Democratic nominees insure ev-
cry chance of success at the coming
election.
However, with the unrest, the at
titude of the people of anything for
a change" the record of the coming
Democratic administration will re-
ceive the closest scrutiny of every
voter in Kentucky.
1--WE do not fear any of the State
officers will not measure up to the
highest standard, but this is one
time above all others when men Sc
lected within our party for RESPONSE
BILE positions in the State administra-
ton, must be men of the strongest
minds, most upright character, and
peculiarly adopted to the duties they
must perform. The day is over in
Kentucky when men can be appoint
ed or selected without regard to their
fitness or ability.
Without doubt the most RESPONSE
BILE position, and the most far-reach-
ing, to be filled within the party, is
that of Speaker of the Lower House
of the next Legislature. In import
ance to the people this office comes
next to filling the Governors chair.
why asks the Mt. Sterling Sen
tinel-Democrat would not Jas. H.
Thompson, of Bourbon County, make
an admirable Speaker"
"The answer is, he would. In fact
he is the one man the Democratic
party will need to fill this position.
I'm the first place, Mr.. Thompson
is not politician. In the next place
he is man no set of circumstances
could sway from his clear vision and
convictions as to what is best for his
people.
Another thing, he is farmer Of
the highest type, a student of abili-
ty, and is probably to-day the best
informed man in Kentucky on mat
tiers of taxation. most serious
thing to every voter in the Common
wealth.
"And one other thing. Mr.. Thomp-
son can work to the greatest advan-
tage and always in the interest of
harmony within the party, if his CO.
workers, like himself, never lose
sight of the fact that it is for the
people of Kentucky he and they are
serving.
"As to Mr.. Thompson's strength,
Bourbon county is Democratic by a
narrow margin. The Republicans
were running their strongest candi-
date against him, a gentleman of
the highest character, and one who
would not do the slightest wrong for
the State of Kentucky, Mr.. N. A.
Moore. Yet Mr.. Moore, as good a
man as he is, knowing Mr.. Thomp-
sons strength, withdrew from the
race.
"And that is the kind of man we
need for Speaker. a man who will
reflect honor to the Democratic par
ty and give it strength"

The Beautiful Creature Brought
Sammy Rabbit Out of the River
And Set Him By Tinker's Side.

be able to help him" But Tinker
could see from his actions that he
did not tell the truth.
II always like to help some one
in need" Red Fox continued, with an
ugly grin that showed his long
white teeth. II must see if
can find him."
AS he trotted away Tinker Bob
followed, little way off. They wan
dered through thickets and over fields
toward the mountain side, and there
at the foot of the mountain Red Fox
found little Sammy Rabbit playing
around the big rocks.
"Come with me and I'll show you
where l live"
Tinker Bob was worried, because
he was afraid that Red Fox might
harm little Sammy.
"There," said Red Fox, 81 live
under this rock. Go yonder, young
fellow, and look for yourself"
'No! Mop cried Miss Susie. "You
will fall"
Don't be afraid, young fellow" +"
said Red Fox.
Little Sammy hoped over to the
edge of the fiat rock and looked
down. ''Now this is what always
happens to strangers in my land,'
Red Fox showed his teeth and tipped
the rock and Sammy slipped off.
Don't let him fall" cried Tinker,
and in the same instant the
Beautiful Creature brought Sammy
Rabbit out of the river and set him
by Tinker's side.
When Red Fox, who had been look
ing over the edge w the rock to
see Sammy go down in the water,
looked up and saw him sitting by
Tinker, it startled him so that he
fell off the rock and was drowned.
Little Sammy ana Susie went off
to play together, happy that Sammy
had been saved. And Tinker Bob
was left alone again.
