Some time ago the Consumers Ser

the corner of Pleasant and Tenth

erected a service station, one of a
chain of such established throughout
the State. The building was opened
for business Saturday, when, it was
alleged, the operators without con-
sulting other dealers as to the selling
price of gasoline, cut the price 10
81 cents a gallon. When the news
became generally known the Paris
retail dealers held meeting. and
shortly afterward made the an
nouncement that they had met the
cut, and had gone it one cent better.

cents a gallon

have been stolen from G. e. Finney.

chine and the arrest of the thief.
Wednesday Sheriff VIM. G. Nc
Clintock received a message from Off
Gals at Connersville, stating they
had recovered the car, or at least the
one thought to be the Paris car In
the possession of a man whom they
were holding under arrest. The car
and thief will be returned to Paris.
The man who is charged with hav-
ing stolen the Finney auto has been
identified as Robert Hardwick, for
merly of Carlisle, who. the police Of
Connersville stated, has police rec
ord in that city, and had been under
suspicion for some time. Suspicion
was aroused some days ago when
Eardwick and another man purchas-
cd tickets from Connersville to
Myers Station, in Nicholas county.
They returned a few days later with
an automobile and dog, both alleg-
ed to be stolen.
One of the cards sent out by Chiel
of Police Link came to Sheriff Myers
of Carlisle, who compared it with the
description he had received from the
Connersville authorities and became
satisfied that Hardwick was the man
wanted. Hardwick was arrested in
Carlisle about a month ago on war
rant sent from Connersville charging
him with abandoning his family.

ISSUE.

On the first days trip of the Re-

out kentucky, Governor Calvin Cool
idge. of Massachusetts,, made four
teen speeches. In none of the four
teen did he refer to the League OF
Nations There is reason. Gov
rnor Coolidge is tied to the League
of Nations by the speech of welcome
he made to President Wilson when
the latter returned from France with
the Peace Treaty in his pocket.
Mr.. Coolidge admitted that he has
not mentioned the League of Nations
since he had made speech early in the
campaign in Maine. 1t seems that
this speaking campaign is not to the
taste of the Massachusetts Governor.
He does not associate with the men
on the train with him, and seems TO
find speech making a very burden"
