GETTING NORMAL AFTER
HEAVY SLEET STORM.

Some called it "glaze storm" in
referring to the recent visitation of
sleet in this section, but to the old
timer it didn't matter what the new
term was, it was sleet and heavy
sleet to him. But, as the old saying
goes, tits all over now"
Up to last night Paris and Bour-
bon county had recovered in large
measure from the sleet storm which
came last Wednesday night and re-
manned over with us until Saturday.
Most Of the debris has been remov-
ed from the streets, the disrupted
electric light service has been re-
stored in the residence section, and
the telephone and telegraph people
are rapidly repairing the damage
done to their lines. No estimate of
the damage done to the telephone
equipment in the city and county
has yet been given out, but it will
mount up into the thousands. Ser
vice over the lines Of the Paris and
Lexington interurban, which was
put out of commission late Wednes-
day night, was resumed Sunday
morning after a large force Of work
men had worked faithfully all
through Saturday and Saturday
night, making repairs The city has
the repairs being made to the street
lighting system, but it is expected
that this will be but a temporary
inconvenience, to be patiently en-
dured under the circumstances.
The losses to be taken into con-
sideration are those of individuals,
private companies, telephone COM
panies, electric light and power
lines, interurban lines, and the city
and county property. The grip of
the sleet storm was felt most pre-
ceptibly on the farms throughout
the county, where work was brought
TO standstill. Stock feeding was
rendered very difficult, and farms
not supplied with silOs and feeding
barns experienced great deal Of
trouble. Rains and melting sleet
caused the creeks and branches to
almost reach the flood stage Friday,
so far as can be learned.
The tobacco markets, which were
compelled to close down during the
period of the sleet visitation, be-
cause of the lack of electric
light and power, were resum-
ed yesterday. Although the re-
ceipts were light. owing to the
bad condition of the roads through
out the county, due to broken limbs
and fallen telephone poles disputing
the right of way, there was plenty Of
tobacco on the floors for the sales.
Managers H. H. Floyd, Of the
Cumberland Telephone Co., and j. j.
Veatch, of the Central Home Tele-
phone Co., stated yesterday that
they hoped to have their lines in
normal working order again in the

early part of this week. Large
gangs of linemen have been busy
pairing the lines and erecting poles,
and every effort is being made to re-
store the service. Long distance
connections have been partly estab-
lished with most of the large cities,
and business will soon be at nor
NAL stage again.
County road forces and individual
efforts have in a large measure re-
moved the distractions on the
county roads, which kept travel
blockaded for several days.

At a. recent meeting OF the OfnclalS
of the Deaconness Hospital. in Gin
cinnati. it was shown by the report
of Superintendent Lehman, that the
same conditions that obtain at the
Massie Memorial Hospital. were pres
eut there. The r. :. * pointed out
especially the increasing cost of
maintenance Of patients during the
past four years. 1t was shown that
Ia cost $1.73 to keep a patient one
day in 1914, but in the last year it
had cost the Hospital s3.47 for the
same purpose, an increase of one
cent. over 100 per cent. Superln-
tendent Lehman stated that they had
fought against raising rates, but
finally when the deficit in the Oper-
ating account came near to the
$4,000 mark, they were compelled
to raise the prices from fifteen to
twenty per cent. Superintendent
Lehman announced gift of $1,000
from the Gemble estate. Here is
chance for some ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

emulate this example.

The Age of Man.

Scientists and artists have been
working together to give US a picture,
as reliable as possible, of the earlies st
man who lived upon our globe. In
several museums we may now study
statues or heads carefully reconstruc-
ted from the evidence discovered. The
most interesting pictures, however, are
made by constructing actual scenes
in the caves or on the plains they once
inhabited, and placing life-like figures
in them surrounded by the crude i'm
plements used in hunting and house.

disputed. and varies widely according
to the different estimates. The So
called Niolithic man. whose relics have
been found in many parts Of the world,
was probably 10000 years old. perhaps
much older. Many of the relics are
believed by scientists to be 100000 years
old, while some scientists place the
earliest man of whom we have any
record as far back as $4,000 years. One
way to measure their age is to calcu-
late by our knowledge of geology how
long it required to form the strata
which cover the relics of the early

Income Tax Facts
You Should Know

The big profits realized in 1919
by sales of dwellings, apartment
houses, machinery, farm lands and
other property are subject to the
income tax. Every citizen or resi-
dent who made such sales must row
figure up the gains, as prescribed in
Form l040 or 1040-A, and consider
this profit together with other gains
and income in determining the liza
bility for a return and a tax.
The sale of part of a farm or part
of a parcel of land brings with it
the responsibility of figuring equit-
ably the gain realized. Considera-
tion must be given, not only to
acreage, but to the quality or de-
STABILITY of the part sold, in its re-
lation TO the entire tract or farm.
Many persons disposed of stocks
and bonds during 1919. Any gains
or losses in such transactions affect
the net income.
If the profits from sales, plus
other income, received in 1919 by an
unmarried person was $1,000 or
more. a return is due. A married
couple must file a return IL profits
from sales plus other income was
$4,000 or more.
Returns and payments must reach
the Collector of Internal Revenue
by March Is, 1890.
