CHAPTER II

During the ensuing week Mr.. A.
Farmer spent a good deal of time in
town and did lot of listening. but
/ not very much thinking, and when
on Saturday evening he and Faith
were again snugly ensconced beside
the stove he lost no time in assert
ing:
Il don't believe that cooperative
wheat marketing scheme will work
at all. | was talking to Jim Bishop
down at the warehouse and he says
that we farmers could never afford
to market our wheat ourselves, that
1t would cost thousands and thou
sands of dollars to hire men to run
the association for us and to sell our
grain and that we would have to pay
big salaries to lawyers to keep us out
of trouble. He's a pretty smart fell
low and | guess he knows what he's
talking about"
What does he do?' asked Faith.
why he buys grain for one of the
old line companies and | tell you he
knows his business"
Who pays his salary?"
why, the company that he works
for"
Where does the money come
r.
from to pay him."
why, out of the profits of tho
business, Of course.
And those profits are made ont
OF you and the other wheat grow
ers, Faith quietly remarked. you
farmers pay his salary. What is he
hired to do?"
Why, 10 buy wheat"
Yes, and to buy it at the lowest
possible Irice. You farmers are paw
ing his salary and the salaries of
thousands OF other men like him and
you are paying them to buy Your
grain as cheaply as they can. II
~ AiS II WOulu De a lot better
for you to have a few men to get the
highest legitimate price for your
wheat, as this cooperative market
ing plan provides"
For moment Mr.. Farmer SAT
silent, blinking his eyes, then he ex-
claimed, by heck, l never thought
OF that. We farmers sure do nav
these fellows for getting all they can
out of US. But how in time are we
going to get the money to pay these
high priced fellows to market our
wheat for us?"
That's easy" answered Faith
the 1918 wheat crop of Washing
ton Idaho and Oregon was around
100000 bushels. The marketing
association won't be started unless
20 per cent, or $4,000, 900 bushels is
signed up. One cent a bushel ON
100000 ( bushels would mean
$4,000. Four or five cents
bushel would provide ample funds

CHURCH PEOPLE GET BUSY DIG.
GING. 81.

improvements estimated to cost
approximately $1,000, have been
planned and will be made to the
Paris Baptist church, the weather
permitting. The improvements
have been made necessary by reason
of an increased attendance in the
Sunday School, necessitating more
rooms.
A new Sunday School room with
a capacity of two hundred, in the
basement will be added to the
church, in order to take care of the
overflow from the main room. Arm

twenty members of the church, un-

busy doing the excavating for the
new addition. Coffee, pies and

REGARDING OPENING OF NOV
les ON SUNDAY.

There is a growing sentiment in
Paris IN favor Of opening the movie
picture houses on Sunday afternoon,
and, as a matter of course, there
will be protests against such pro-
ceeding. THE NEWS has heard in
the past few days unqualified en-
dorsement of the project, from citi-
zens who are in favor of allowing
free Americans to choose their form
and time of entertainment.
Lexington movie houses make a
strong bid for patronage of Paris
people by advertising on the screen
at the Paris Grand and the Alamo,
the pleasures to be derived from
spending Sunday afternoon in the
Lexington movie picture houses.
Why not permit Paris people to
spend an enjoyable two hours on
Sunday afternoon in their own
home town in an innocent amuse-
nient?
The plea is made in favor of per-
hitting the Sunday afternoon open
ing that it would afford a chance
for entertainment for the workmen
who spend six days a week at their
labor and who are generally too
tired at night to visit the movies.
Sunday being their only day for re-
creation, an hour or two at the
movies in the afternoon would con-
stitute diversion for them.
In speaking Of the matter, Paris
business man said to THE NEWS
man: 81 go to church every Sunday
morning and evening, and really
enjoy it. My conscience would not
hurt me in the least by attending a
moving picture program in the at
ternoon, as ! can see absolutely no
harm in thus spending an hour or
two. And / believe hundreds OF
ether Paris people hold this same
opinion"
The matter as yet has not taken
concrete form, and the city author
tiles have not been approached In
regard to it. The suggestion has
merely been made that the Sunday
afternoon opening would be pleas
ing to a large number of workers
who are liberal in their views, and
Who believe they ought to have the
same chance that Lexington, Louis
VILE, Covington, Newport, Frank
fort and other places have.

DAMAGE SUIT FILED IN BOUR-
BON CIRCUIT COURT

A suit has been filed in the Bour-
bon Circuit Court by Attorney Denis
Dundon, representing VIM. H. Wha-
ley. Jr., of Paris, against VIM. A.
Hamlen, representing Julius Kess-
Ter & Co., of Louisville, for $4,000
damages, for alleged non-fulfillment
of contract Of sale.
The plaintiff in his petition al
leges that, on January rs, 1920, the
defendant sold to him for $4,000.
the property known as the Walsh
distillery containing about ten acres
of ground, located on the North Mid
dletown pike, near Paris. He alleg-
es that contract was executed and
delivered to him, the money to be
paid in cash on receipt of deed to the
property. 1t is further claimed that
the defendant has refused and failed
to deliver the property to the plain
tiff, and that at the present time it
is valued at about S23,5OO. The
plaintiff therefore asks for damages
in the sum of $4,000, with interest
and proper relief.
In connection with the above pub
lie announcement has been made
that VIM. A. Hamlen, representing
Julius Kessler & Co., had sold the
aforementioned property to Carl
Wilmoth, and his sister, Mrs. Robt.
Goggin, both of Paris, for sum

$4,000. 1t is said that negotiations
are under way to resell the property
to a manufacturing company in the
East, who will erect a branch estab-
lishment on the site. C
