WELL and HAPPY
WOMAN, She SAYS
Louisville Woman Restored
To Health After Ten
Years Suffering.

Mrs. w. p. Carroll, of 42S South
18th street, Louisville, is still an
other highly esteemed Kentucky
woman whose deep sense of graft
tude and a desire to benefit others
will not permit her to remain silent
regarding the wonderful results she
has obtained from the use of Tanlac
"If it had not been for others al
lowing the news of their recovery to
be published" said Mrs. Carroll, 81
would not have known about Tanlac
and would still be a sick woman, so
feel like l ought to make a state
ment myself and try to help someone
else.
For at least ten years and up to
the time took Tanlac, had suffer-
ed with indigestion, fermentation of
my food and gas on my stomach. AT
times my heart would palpitate
frightfully and during these spells l
simply had to fight for breath. FL
nally l became so weak that it was
all / could do to get around and l
thought l would surely be compelled
to take to my bed.
But indigestion is not all Tanlac
has relieved me of. / had been suf-
fering with rheumatism in my arms
for a year and l couldn't raise my
hands above my head or use my arms
in any way without just suffering
agony. But now / can sweep the
floors and do my work without feel
ing a single rheumatic pain. l am
now a we'll and happy woman and go
about my work rejoicing because of
what Tanlac has done for me. /
have not had sign OF indigestion,
gas on my stomach, spell of palpi-
tation or any of my old troubles
since taking Tanlac. Tanlac has not
only restored my health but my hus-
band also took it and we are both
like new people. It's the first time
in years that / have enjoyed good
health and all the thanks, gratitude
and praise belong to Tanlac."

Number OF Breeding sows Less.

Breeding sows declined 9.9 per
cent during the year ending April l,
1920, according to investigations OF
the Bureau Of Crop Estimates. Inc
same number of these animals for
both years is reported for South Caro-
lima and Georgia, and increases for
Florida, Texas, and New Mexico. The
heaviest declines were found in Mas
sachusetts, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri.
Tennessee. Montana, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO and Idaho.
Outstanding results during the first
six months of the Better Sires-
Better Stock" movement are announc-
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture. Owners of 6S,62S
animals in addition to 81, Alb poultry,
have pledged themselves to use pure
bred sires for all classes of live stock
kent. In view of the prolificacy OF
farm live stock, especially swine and
poultry, a rapid upward trend in the
quality of animals on farms enrolled
in the campaign is expected.
During the first six months 99O
persons complied with the official
request to use purebred sires only.
and upon written declaration to that
effect each was awarded a suitable
emblem. In Pulaski County, Va,
$50 livestock owners aligned then'-
selves with the campaign. This Is
the largest figure for any county n
the United States. Hampshire coun-
ty, Mass, Brunswick County, Va,
and Pennsylvania County. N. c., are
others having large enrollments. AS
a State, Virginia ranks first, North
Carolina second, Massachusetts third,
Colorado fourth and Florida fifth on
the basis of number of persons en-
rolled.
Supporting the evidence of the first
three months, when it was observed
that the use of purebred males led to
the use of purebred females, also, the
complete figures for six months fur
nish additional evidence. In poul-
try flocks headed by sires of pure
breeding, more than 81 per cent OF
the hens were likewise of pure breed
ing, only about per cent being mon
grels. The remainder were grade and
crossbred birds. In swine about So
per cent of the sows in herds headed
by purebred bears were purebred, and
only 2.5 per cent we're scrubs. The
averages for all animals and poultry

FARM DEPARTMENT.

Not only will II be plentiful, but II
is likely to be cheaper this year thar
for some years past.
Yucatan--the chief and cheapest
source of heneQuen, from which the
Irvine is made-produced large crop
this year; which, coupled with the
termination of control of prices by
the Commission Reguladora, was re-
sponsible for a drop in the price Of
fiber from Is to 10 cents a pounds
in March. The price is now reported
to be 8 cents a pound. This re-
duction should be reflected in the
price of Irvine this season.
Thus far the recent revolution in
Mexico has not affected the henequin
industry of Yucatan and Campeche,
the two important fiber-growing
States of that country. 1t is too
late now for any disruption of this
industry to affect seriously the sup
plies of Irvine for this years harvest,
as practically all the fiber necessary
for the present needs have already
been imported to the United States.
Although there is no danger for
this years Irvine supply, officials Of
the Department of Agriculture are
somewhat apprehensive over the eff
feet that the low prices for fiber
prevailing now will have upon the
production of henequen during the
next few years. Low prices accord
ing to reports to the Department, are
leading the growers in Yucatan to re-
duce their planting with the result
that a real shortage of the fiber five
or six years hence is a very likely
possibility.

Noah webster's story as Revised.

Noah Webster's Story as Revised.
IL all depends on whose OK is gored
as Mr.. Noah Webster once said in a
charming little story
Farmer Johnsonius Smithfield--
call him that for short-had S5 chic
kens that he wanted to sell. He
hauled them to town, was offered
10 cents a pound for them, refus-
ed TO take it, and was hauling them
back home when he met the county
agent, who advised him to ship them
to a nearby city, where, he believed
they would bring % cents a pound or
more. Smithfield said he never had
shipped any chickens, that he did not
believe in newfangled ways, and that
he would take the chickens back
home. The county agent was so
sure of his ground that he offered
TO guarantee Smithfield 22 cents, and
on his personal responsibility paid
the farmer the money in advance
s3262.
About a week later the county
agent met Smithfield and suggested
that they settle up the chicken deal.
"well, how did 1t come out?" inquir-
ed Farmer Smithfield. II lost IS,
said the county agent, land, of course
you are going to share it with me-"
mo. SIR" said Smithfield, ut turn
ed out exactly as / thought it would,
and am under no obligations to bear
any of the loss" WELL" said the
county agent, 81 just wanted to see
how you felt about it. Here is the
check, S42.21, which is $3.50 more
than 1 paid you. l got 2S cents n
pound for those chickens instead TO
% cents"
Now, to follow the sequence of Mr..
Webster's story, we would have to
make Farmer Johnsonius Smithfield
demand the turning over of that
$3.50 to him: but II didn't come out
that way The county agent offer
ed to do exactly that thing, but !
Farmer Smithfield said, I won't have
1t that way; you keep half the profit /
and I'll take half. You have taught
me lesson that will be worth a great !
deal more than that to me and my i
neighbors whenever the local dealers {
refuse to pay us what our produce is
worth.
That is not an imaginary story. J.

riculture vouches for it and backs 1t
up with the records of the Office of
Extension work in the South.

March 18th and 18th, at the Y. M.
c.. A. gymnasium.
The visiting teams will arrive
sometime Friday forenoon, and at
2:3O of that day, will draw for
places. More contesting teams are
expected to take part in this tour
h ament than last year. The tour
namett, which promises 10 be d
fhigFtS successful athletic event, is
to be held under the auspices of the
Athletic Association of the Paris
High School, and at the direction
of Miss Adrienne Ennis, Physical
director for girls at the city school.
Much interests being shown by the
people Of this city in the outcome
of the tournament, and especially
appreciated is the willingness with
which they have offered the hospi-
tality of their homes to the girls OF
the visiting teams. Miss Sarah
Banding, of State University, is to
be official referee. The schools in
vited to attend the tournament are
as follows: Lexington High, Win

in defeat for the Paris girls team
by score of 20 to 10. The girls
were requested to play under rules
governing the boys games, with
which they were not familiar. To
this they ascribe the victory of the
Harrison school girls.
The boys g(ne resulted in a vic
tory for the Paris boys, the final

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT
BILL PASSED I'M SENATE

A prohibition enforcement meas
ure modelled on the Volstead national
law was passed by the Kentucky
senate with only six votes against
1t. Those opposing were Senators
Branstetter, Burton, Early, Metzger,
Perry and Simmons.
This virtually marks an end of a
fight which has been carried on in
Kentucky for years. The large ma
Jor1t1es by which both Houses and
Senate passed the bill indicates how
changed are conditions froh those
stormy days when Kentucky. Legis-
lators were divided into bitterly
hostile camps of "wets'' and "drys'
and when every vote was influenced
by the antagonistic sentiments.
The bill prohibits manufacture.
sale or transportation of any bever-
age containing more than one-haIf
OF one per cent. of alcohol, except for
medicinal, sacramental, mechanical
or scientific purposes. Not more than
one pint of whisky in ten days may
be prescribed by a physician or sold
by druggist to one consumer. Ex-
copied from provisions of the law are
such preparations containing alco-
hOl as standard medical remedies,
patent medicines, toilet prepare
tions, flavoring extracts, etc., which
are unfit for beverage purposes.
Punishments for violating the law
include fine of $50 to $500 and inn
prisonment from 80 to 60 days for
subsequent Cffenses Buildings or
any ether property used insviolation
of the law may be declared a null
sance and the property confiscated.

WHY NOT A CLEANUP CLUB

Spring will be with us again very
shortly now, and the question of
community beauty and sanitation
will come to the fore.
What's the matter with having a
Cleanup" Club in this town?
Why can't we have an organiza-
ton of public spirited men and wo-
men whose business it would be to
encourage the cleaning up and beau
iifying of the town?
Such an organization would ac-
complish wonders in a short space
of time. We haven't a citizen who
wouldn't heartily cooperate in such
a movement; and many, once it was
under way, would go to great
lengths to Guido others and carry OF
the prize.
And a prize, we would suggest.
should be given not for the best
place, but for the one showing the
greatest Improvement.
Sanitation is necessary to health,
and we can't have sanitation with
out cleanliness. And cleanliness
can be produced only through the
systematic cooperation of the entire
community.
We believe such movement
would prove popular in Paris. Ger
tainly its benefits would be many
and far reaching.
THE NEWS wants only one office
in such club-that OF chler
booster.

ANOTHER DECISION HANDED
DOWN IN ALEXANDER CASE

In the United States District Court
at Cincinnati, Judge Peck handed
down decision involving points of
material Interest at issue in the case
OF the George Alexander & Co. State
Bank, Of Paris.
George c. Speer, then State Bank
ing Commissioner of Kentucky
brought suit against the Fifth
Third National Bank. of Cincinnati
TO recover approximately the sum of
s35,O00, alleged to have been realiz-
ed by the F1fth-Third bank on COL
lateral given to it as security for
loans made to the Alexander bank,
alleging that the Paris bank had no
power under its charter to borrow in
excess of $4,000.
The Banking Commissioner asked
for an order of Court striking from
The files the answers of the Fifth
Third National Bank. Judge Peck's
decision for the greater part sustains
the defense set up by the bank and
denied the motion.
In connection with the Banking
Commissioners objection to the de-
Tense of the bank that he has suits
pending against the former direc-
Tors of the Alexander bank for re-
covery of monies alleged to be due
depositors and other creditors of the
bank, and that the directors are
good for all the valid claims of the
bank, Judge Peck holds that it is
lot well taken, and that this is a
valid defense. The Court stated in
this connection that if the defendant
hi 10 &c io1,
at all, it is to the unsatisfied cred
itors and depositors after the Bank
ing Commissioner has exhausted
such courses in action as were en-
forecable by the corporation itself.

has issued request to the members
OF the other clubs to join in the de-

ture Club of Paris, is almost as old
an organization as the Paris Liter
airy Club, with which it has worked
unostentatiously for promoting and
furthering the cultured and moral
life of the community.
The proposed plans for the cohsol-
idation OF the clubs are not yet fully
matured, but those who are leading
in the progressive step advocate
four departments of work-civics,
current events, art and music, with
directing chairman for each. The
present organizations of Bourbon
county women affiliated with the
State Federation of Clubs are the
Paris Literary Club, Mrs. w. G. Tai
bolt, president; The Progressive
