AMERICAN LEGION TO GIVE A
BANQUET.

At meeting of the American Le-
gion representatives in this city an
entertainment committee. composed
of Hiram Roseberry, Roy Ogden, DR.
Avonia Kiser, Finnell Galloway and
Jos. Letcher, was appointed, and
clothed with authority to make ar
rangements for banquet to be- Civ
en- in this city on the night of Tues
day, Nov. IL, that being the first an
niversary of the signing of the arm
istice. All the ex-service men in the
county will be invited to attend as
guests of the Bourbon Post.
The committee was also instructed
to make arrangements for the ap-
pearance in Paris at an early date of
the famous Million Dollar Band,
which is giving concerts through
the country under the auspices of
the American Legion. This band is
to furnish the music at the meeting
of the National Convention, to be
held in Minneapolis, Mimi, in No
vember
At the meeting the case of a young
Paris boy, who had returned from a
long service in domestic camps in
France, and was not given his former
position, was brought to the atten-
ton of the Post Commander, who
was instructed to look into the mat
ter and to take action in accord with
the principles of the American Le-

TELEPHONE RATES TO CON.
TINUE.

At the meeting of the City Coun-
Gil permission was granted the Paris
Home Telephone Company to con-
tinue it's present rate of charges for
another year. While the rates may
seem to be a little high, there is no
good reason why they should not be
maintained until normal conditions
prevail.
Material has advanced greatly
and salaries are higher, hence, in
order that the company may make
a reasonable profit it is necessary to
charge more for the services given
now than was charged a few years
ago. 1t is hoped that within an
other year we may be back where we
were, and that it will not be neces-
sary to continue the high price of
everything, as is the case now. The
laborer is worthy of his hire. Let's
register no kick on continuation
for a year of the advanced rates,
but hope for and expect service
commensurate with the price
charged.

GOT HER WIRES CROSSED.

In the stiffness of the early morn
ing Wednesday, while NEWS
scribe was -vainly endeavoring to
solve the problem of condensing a
half-column of "Stuff" into one para
graph. there came an insistent jan
gle of the telephone. There was no
denying the hates demanded in an
swering.
From the other end of the line
came the query, in a decidedly ag-
gressive feminine voice: "Can you
tell me what time the airships will
arrive here?" Allowing time in
which to recover, the scribe manag-
ed to convey the information that
he had no knowledge of the matter,
and could give no information that
would be of value. In an injured
tone came the reply over the te!e-
phone: "Why, l just read in the
Paris papers where they would be
here some time to-day" The scribe
consulted his notebook for several
pages, and despairingly Informed the
woman that as far as he could as
certain there was no event OF that
kind scheduled for Paris. After the
aggrieved woman had slammed the
receiver in place it dawned upon his
mind that the woman
meant the visit of 'The Flying
to Paris in the interest
of the prohibition campaign. But the
damage was done, and as 1T WASH I
his day for flying he went sadly
back to his work.

DO They Want War?

war in Shantung as if it were no mat
ter of concern to them, and said moth
ing until the Paris conference met,
and then raised howl because Japan
was not forced to return the province
that phe had taken from Germany co
them, Japan promises to exercise only
such privileges in the province as were
conceded to Germany, and to return it
to China at the end of the prescribed
time.
The Chinese made no protest about
Shantung until the Paris Peace Con-
ference reached it in the course of its
procedure, and the United States
Senators, who were seeking every pos
sible means to discredit the President,
never discovered the alleged enormity
of the situation until now '.
The Versailles treaty removes prac-
tically all danger of war between the
United States and Japan; it settles
the trouble that has been experienced
on the Pacific coast and it stops Ja-
pan from the future attempts to ter
ritorial acquisition that have been ap-
pretended. Why should all Of that
advantage be thrown away to take up
a sentimental proposition concerning
Shantung, that would in itself be al
most certain to produce war?
And it is entirely plain that the
Senators making the noise about the
wrongs of China in the Shantung
matter, have no purpose further than
a play Of politics by which they hope
to gain an advantage in the presi-

Memorial Trip to
SaltiIlo, Tenn.

The Progress man and grand
daughter, Mary Elizabeth Barry, on
last Sunday morning were given the
invitation by Mr.. ]. Walter Wright to
accompany him and hrs son, James
Lee, on a trip to Soltillo, in Mr..
Wright's new Overland car The in
vitation was accepted but the start
was not made until after nine o'clock.
Sardis was passed Just at the time
the people were gathering for preach
ing and by the number of men, wo
men and children seen on their way
to the one or two houses Of worship
we are forced to believe that the Sar-
dis people are a church going lot. A
drink of cistern water was enjoyed at
the home of Mr.. Medlin, who occupies
the former home of Mr.. Wright.
Saltillo was reached before the din
ner hour and Mr.. Wright went to the
home of his aunt, Mrs. Matte Pitts,
who has been i'll for several weeks
and to see whom was the object of
the Wright visit. The lady was found
in a precarious condition of health,
but perhaps somewhat improved, as
she was able to be carried to the riv-
er bank when the st, Louis packet the
Kentucky made the landing early
afternoon, the first time she had
been out of her home in eight of ten
weeks. Just when the midday sun
was sending down the most scorchlng
beams, the Kentucky took on lot OF
hogs and cotton, billed to st. Louis.
We found our people, Mr.. A. L.,
Hughes and family of five, all well,
happy and prosperous. Mr., Hughes
is a successful merchant, one Of the
best fellows in the world, and, by the
way, he is gradually accumulat1g
large land holdings, having already
over 600 acres on White Oak creek.
The Hughes dinner was fit for any
body and the Hughes welcome full
ly as desirable.
The start for home was made ii
close to four o'clock, but quite a stop
was made Mt the Sardis cemetery and
and then in the town. In the feme-
terry we noticed the grave Of our old
friend Uncle David Little, WHO for
many years ran the Home Nurseries
at Sardis and supplied the people Of
Henderson and adjoining counties
with fruit trees. grape vines and or
namental shrubhery. BY his own re-
quest Mr.. Liitle's grave WIS dug

A Few Things
About Sugar.

1t is said that while retail dealers
throughout the country are telling
consumers that they are having diff
Guilty in obtaining normal supplies of
sugar, the government has forecast a
damestic crop far over the average
for the last six years.
The government in estimate based
on July lst, predicts a crop of 2,2l6,-
100000 pounds, or 147000,000 pounds
more than the average for the last
six years, during which time the to-
tai of the beet and cane sugar was
more than two billion pounds each
year except in 1914-15. The beet
sugar forecast this year is higher
than the record crop of 19l5-16 by
$4,000 tons.
Sugar has become a necessity-for
the "luXuries of to-day become the
necessities of tomorrow"-and it is a
pity that dealers often fail to help
bear the burden and put it all on the
consumers just when sugar is most
needed to preserve the fruits and ber-
ries Of the Summer for use in the
Winter, Not long ago in Atlanta
there was n reported local sugar
shortage and dealers at once hoisted
the price to 20 cents per pound
Such actions 10y soulless profiteers,
will be one of the causes of trouble,
most likely bloodshed, in this coun-
try. The profteer is but a thief with
license to do business.

Do the Republican Senators want
war with Japan?
This is fair question in connec-
ton with their sudden and rather vio-
lent occupation of Shantung. China
lost her control of that region When,
in 1897 a German fleet seized the
land on both sides of Kiao Chau bay.
Two German missionaries had been
murdered there, and the seizure was
on the preteXt of indemnity The
lease, by which 1T square miles Of
territory in that region was conceded
to Germany for ninety-nine years,
was arranged the next year, Germany
fortified Tsngtau, port on the bay,
and garrisoned it with a considerable
force of her soldiers. They remained
there until Japanese troops, after
three months of hard fighting, forced
them to surrender Nov. 10, 1914.
None of these events raised any
protest in the United States. The
japanese have been in control there
from that time until now. No one
hes ever believed that they would re-
turn the territory to China at the end
Of the war, and no protest came from
any quarter against its continued oc-
cupancy,
1t has been said in the Senate that
there are S6,OOO,OO0 people in Shan
tung. There is possibly exceeding
400,O00,OOO in all of China. There
are about 100000 in Japan. Yet
China remained entirely passive and
would have permitted the Germans to
keep the stronghold on her territory
without any sort of effort to dispo-
sess them. The Chinese watched the
