A PLEA IN THE INTEREST, OF
PUPILS.

At a recent meeting of the Bour-
bon County Teachers Association a
fund was started for the relief of
unfortunate school children who
have not sufficient warm clothing to
permit their attending school. Mrs.
Robert Bell, County Truant Officer,
reported fifteen pupils in the county
who are unable to attend school be-
cause of insufficient clothing. it is
remarkable that such condition
should exist in our community, yet
It is here and very patent fact.
Here is a chance for the generous
people of our country to do some
real home missionary work.
That these children should he kept
from school because of a lack OF
warm clothing is sad commentary
on the eternal unfitness' of things.
While we are mourning over the
miseries Of childhood in the Far
East, let's remember we have some
unfOrtunates at home.
These little ones should be pro
vided with good clothing at once
They want an education, too. 1t is
| no fault of theirs that they Are I'M
fortunate. Let some sunlight into
their little lives, and help them or
their way to the little country

LIGHT WEIGHT TOBACCO CAUS-
ING GREAT CONCERN

The 1890 crop If Bourbon county
tobacco IS being brought to the local
warehouse in great quantities, ann
the warehouses arc rapidly filling
up with the weed destined for sale
at the opening of the market on next
Tuesday morning. Wagons ana
trucks have been going through
Paris each day for some time. The
three sales floors Of the Bourbon To.
bacco Warehouse Company are prac-
tically full of tobacco, and a large
amount has been unloaded at the
New Independent Tobacco Ware
house Co.'s houses Buyers for all
the big tobacco houses will be here
by the opening day, and the auc-
tioneers have alreo dy arrived.
Most of the weed already received
and placed on the floors is said by
observers to be of fair quality, al
though there is a general belief that
the weight will be light. Some Of the
| leaves are said to be the largest and
| finest quality for some time, but
there is deficiency in weight which
will, of course, reduce the remuner-
alton to the grower. Many of the
growers are said t. be taking the ad-
vice given them OIL all sides and are
keeping their poor grades at home.
lin no other way, it is said, can prices
be kept up to paying margin.
A matter of great concern to the
growers is that of the extremely
light weight of this years crop. o.,
February IL, 1920, on a floor OF
one of the local houses there wer'
I1,4O4 baskets of tobacco, which
weighed 357, 900 pounds. the larges

FEELING TRIBUTE TO PARIS
GRAND MAN.

In a letter to i member Of The
NEWS stan, former Paris mar.
now engaged in business IN New
York, pays the following tribute to
the memory of the late Mr.. George
w. Davis, Paris grand old man.
"It was with genuine sorrow l
Davis. He was one of the best men
ev.-r kpew. His death has depriv-
cd Paris of one of it's best citizens,
and the community of a nan who
could not well be spared from it,
business life. Words seem so futile
when one tries to describe the lire
and virtues of this good man. The1 e
area great many people protesting -
be Christians. but zeal Christians of
the George w. Davis type are regret
,tably scarce.
st believe at times a great MANY
of us ente, tain some doubts of i'll
mortality, or. at least, of an immor-
tally that ccmprehends a continu-
ance of the personality, but if beau
tiful characters like the lat? George
w. DaviZ who dissipated these
doubts, because it is so hard TO con
warded with utter oblivion. ! have
never known one who seemed to moro
clearly walk hand m hand with God
Conscience guided his every act. HI
was model of mental industry IL
his efforts to instruct the people
He was strictly honest in the servic'
i he rendered. He was not only
model Christian. but he was an hon
orable gentleman in the highes
sense the term implies. To man, wo
man or child, saint or sinner, he al
ways extended cordial greeting
that lent a ray Of light to brightel
their pathway in the journey CT life
He commanded the respect of all sect
and classes of people. Paris reall
did not, 1 suppose. appreciate nj
true worth until after the thread Q
life was severed, but now the peopl
must have awakened to the reaiiza
ton that a good and righteous ma
has been taken from them"

recommendation adopted by the
Apartment House Owners Associa-
tion and the Association of Invest
ing Builders of New York.
One of the most important recon-
mendations is that proposing that
incomes from real estate invest
ments be exempted from both State
and Federal taxes. 1t is also urged
that the savings banks and insur-
ance companies of the state be urg-
ed to invest to the limit in real es-
tate mortgages in the State. Rec
omme endation also is made that
housing boards be established in ev-
cry community of 10000 or more
population and a general housing
board for the State be established.
The petition of these two associa-
tions, which are working jointly,
says:
THE undersigned associations,
known as the Apartment House As
sociation and the Association Of In
vesting Builders, represent not only
property owners who own a large
number of apartment houses of the
better class in the city of New York.
but also builders who have erected
apartment houses and other struc-
lures in the city OF New York, the
aggregate value of which is several
hundred millions of dollars They
are deeply interested in the housing
