ADJUDGED TO BE OF UNSOUND
MIND.

In Judge Batterton's court Tues
day A. r. Johns, Paris photogra-
pher, was tried before a jury on a
writ of lunatico inquirendo
The jury, after hearing the testi-
mony of physicians and others who
had investigated Johns mental state
several weeks ago, returned a ver-
dict adjudging him to be of unsound
mind, and ordered him committed to
The Eastern Kentucky Hospital at
Lexington.
The case of Mr.. Johns is most
pathetic one. He came here a few
years ago and purchased the photo
graphic studio then operated by L.
c. Norman. By hard work and his
natural artistic talent he built up
lucrative business and soon gained
rank as one of the foremost photog-
raphers in the State In the past
two or three months he had been
unusually active in finishing work,
often working all night long. His
health gradually gave way under
the strain, which, coupled with an
injudicious use of Substitutes" for
stimulants to which he had become
accustomed, affected his mind. His
hallucinations took various forms,
he imagining he had inherited a vast
sum of money, also that he had in
vented a substitute for whisky. A
day or two before his arrest his con-
Gition became worse, and he was
placed under restraint. He was
taken to private sanitarium in
Lexington, where physicians pro-
nounced his case hopeless. The lu-
macy proceedings here Tuesday fol-
lowed their decision.
Mr.. Johns had host of friends
here, who regret exceedingly the un-
fortunate state to which his bad
health, overwork and other causes
have reduced him. What disposi-
lion is to be made of his business
here has not yet been determined.

HEAD OF ALLIED TOBACCO
LEAGUE HERE.

Mr.. W. d. Spaulding of Coving.
ton, president of the Allied Tobacco
League of America, was a guest of
the Hotel Windsor, in this city.
Tuesday. Mr.. Spaulding, who is one
of the most prominent business men
of the Queen City, came to Paris in
the interest of the organization Of
which he is the head, and while
here interviewed a large number of
men interested in the tobacco busi-
ness.
MI. Spaulding's visit to Paris was
principally for the purpose of. get
ting the tobacco men interested in
the movement to combat the posi-
BILE campaign which may be waged
against tobacco in. the future. The
Allied Tobacco League was organ
lied for the sole purpose of uniting
every department of this great in
dustry against the attacks of those
who would seek to destroy it. Their
most urgent insistence is that now
is the proper time to arouse all
those who grow, manufacture, sell
or consume tobacco, to the fact that
there is really an organized effort
being made to prohibit it's growth,
manufacture and use. They find,
strange as it may seem, that thous-
ands whose livelihood depends upon
the business, are unwilling to be-
lieve that such an effort is seriously
being made in this boosted land of
freedom.
Realizing that Bourbon county is
one of the largest tobacco producing
counties in the State, and that the
annual revenue to the merchants of
the city and county from the tobacco
Industry amounts to large sum,
Mr.. Spaulding urged every man in
ested in the business to get ready
for the fight that is sure to como.
He cited facts and figures to prove
that the campaign will be fought
and that it is to the interest Of the
tobacco men to get under way and
protect themselves.
The officers Of the League include
every department of the industry.
Every dollar contributed to the
cause will be expended in carrying
out the purpose of the League.
Every tobacco man in the county
should take an active interest in
helping to build up the national or
ganization. Among the members of
the Board of Directors from this vi
entity are Dr. Samuel HALEY, of
Lexington; Elijah Kirk, Maysville:
June w. Gayle, Owenton; Henry
Martin, Versailles.

DOG LICENSES ISSUED

Up to Tuesday afternoon County
Clerk Pearce Patton had issued a
total of 400 dog licenses. as re-
quired by the dog tax law. This IS
a slight increase over the CORES
bonding period for 1918, and shows
that the owners of CANNES are anx-
ious to have their animals protected

BACK FROM SUCCESSFUL HUNT
IN FLORIDA.

Squire John n. Shropshire and
son returned Saturday from
months hunting and fishing trip
spent around Orlando and other
points in Florida. He reports a most
successful hunt and a very enjoya-
BILE time. They bagged a total of
176 quail and on their fishing trips
caught large numbers of fine speci-
mems of the nnny tribe. They
spent considerable time on the East
Coast, and met several Bourbon
county people who are temporary
residents of that vicinity. Squire
Shropshire said that when he left
Orlando, the weather was so warm
and pleasant that very little cloth
ing was necessary. He said Florida
bound trains were still full OF tour
lists, and that there seemed to be
hardly any one returning.

, TOBACCO MARKETS
. = q q . q q % Q q q Q Q Q

The Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Company heldR block sale on their
Paris and Bourbon houses and No.
8 floors combined. Some of the bas-
kets went as high as $1.O3. The
quality of the offerings was good.
The floor averages and other statis-
tics could not be obtained last night.
One crop of 2,465 pounds, belong
ing to Louis Rash, sold for an aver
age Of $77.16. Clay & Wagoner's
crop Of 2,020 pounds brought an
average Of s94.28 and one belong
ing to T. w. Current, 2,19O pounds
brought an average of $3.50.
Despite the bitter cold weather
and the other generally discomfort
ing conditions the tobacco trade was
brisk at the sales held Tuesday.
There was a large attendance and
the interest in the markets seemed
to be as strong as at previous sales
The market was strong on good col p
DRY tobacco, which brought as high
as one dollar a pound. Prices are
increasing on the lower grades, and
these types are barely holding their
own. Receipts continue to run
heavy, with the exception of We'd
nesday, when slippery roads deter
red many from bringing their offer
ings to the market.
The block sale of Monday was
concluded Tuesday at the Independ-
ent House. From there it went to
the Bourbon House. The sale Tues
day resulted in the disposal of 160,-
1915 pounds for a money value Of
$77,0O3.35, making a floor average
of $4S.07.
At the Bourbon Warehouse in
Tuesdays sale total Of 1880
pounds was disposed of for money
value of $117,968.90, an average OF
$4S.76. The quality of the effer-
ings was only fair. Several crops in
this sale were brought here from
Montgomery and Clark counties.
The Faris market showed in
creased strength and tone at the
sales held Wednesday. Several
crops from surrounding counties
were sold at good prices, their own
ers remarking that in the future
they would bring all their tobacco
to this market to be disposed Of.
The highest price obtained at this
sale was $1.O1, and the lowest
eighteen cents pound. The re-
ceipts were heavy and the quality
of the offering a little bit better
than at the Tuesday sale.
The Independent House No. 2 sold
a total of 143,115 pounds for $74,-
925.79, floor average. of $52.21.
The sale for the day then shifted to.
the Paris House of the Bourbon To-
bacco Warehouse Company, where
full floor was on, resulting in a
blocked sale, no report being obtain
able at that time.
Every farmer and grower in BOur-
bon county should be interested In
the Paris market, ad-
mittedly one of the best in Central
Kentucky. The reports received
each week from the warehouses
show the local market to be near the
top notch in the matter of sales and
high averages. 1t costs a lot of
money to send tobacco to other
markets and to pay all the expenses,
while the market here is as good for
the same quality as anywhere else.

Labor, by Samuel Gompers and
! others authorized to speak for it
submits to the American people
its analyses of the Republican
and Democratic platforms. Con-
Guiding, it says in summarizing,
It is but fair to say that the
Democratic platform marks a
measure of progress not found
in the platform of the Repub-
lican party in relation to labor
proposals.
"The planks written into the
the Democratic platform more
nearly approximate the desired
declarations of human rights
than do the planks found in the.
Republican platform.
Labor in America is not par
tisan to any political party. It is
partisan to principles, the prin-
ciples of justice and freedom. 1t
undertakes neither to dictate nor
control the choice of the workers
or the citizenship GENERALLY for
which party or candidates they
should vote, but it would be a
palpable dereliction of duty did
we fail to place the facts before
the voters of our country upon
the records Of both parties and
their respective candidates for
public Office.

FARMER.LABOR PARTY LAUNCHED

Ssssess@SAe
CHICAGO, July 12,-The Far
mer Labor party, born of a fus-
ion of numerous political groups,
today has platform and has its
new candidates in the field for
the coming election. It's work
was completed at 4 o'clock this
morning, when its convention,
after an sll-day and night sess-
ion, chose Farley Parker Chris
Jensen, Salt Lake City attorney,
and Max S. Hayes, Cleveland Ia
Dor leader, as its Presidential
and Vice Presiden tial nominee,
respectively.
But the strength of the n ew
government remains to be seen.
The first rest came today when
a group of dissatisfied delegates,
ormerlY allied with the Com
mittee of Forty-eight, met and
considered placing their own
icket in the field under the For
ty-eight, banner.
Not all of the Forty.eight del
egates withdrew from the fusion
convention last night, when
some 100 or more returned to
their own convention. Those
who remained were rewarded by
seeing Christensen, the chair
man of their convention, select
ed to lead the fusion party,
while the labor leaders conten-
ted themselves with the selec-
ton of their national cha irman,
Hayes, to second place.

nominee is native of the West

TO PLAY LAST GAME
IDAHO FOOT BALL STARS END
WORK ON GRIDIRON AT
SPOKANE SATURDAY.

Captain Felix A. Plastino Of Poca-
tello, capable center, and Pat Perrine
of Nez Perez tackle and famous all
round athlete, will appear in Idaho
moleskins for the last time when
Coach Tom Kelley's gridiron warriors
meet Gonzaga university in Spokane
Saturday afternoon.
Captain Plastino, whom many be-
lieve the ablest pivot man who ever
performed for the Silver and Gold,
began his football career at Idaho in
1916, when he served as a backfield
substitute. Shifted in 1917 to CEN
ter, his natural position, he at once
became fixture, performing there
in 1919 and again this season.
PlastinO was mentioned by several
critics for all-northwest honors in
1919, but the present season has been
by far his best. His passing has been
steady and consistent and he has
proven Gibraltar of defensive
strength in every game Idaho has
played. He has shattered plays sent
at the tackles as well as drives
against his own position and has dis
played unusual ability in breaking up
short forward passes.
Perrine, who held down a guard
position in 1917 and who became a
regular last season, has won his off,
cial Il" in basketball and track as

well as football. He was a member
of the pentathlen team which repre-
sented America in 1920 at the Olym-
pic games held at Antwerp
Fast, aggressive and vicious tack
Ter Perrine viii leave void difficult
to fill His particular talents this
season have been his ability to get
down the field with the ends on punts
and his knack for SCATTERING oppo-
nents' interference.
Idaho undergraduates believe that
Coach Kelley's eleven will make a
creditable showing against Gonzaga
Saturday despite the loss of Neil Irv-
ing, stellar halfback who was seri-
ously injured in the Montana game.
1t is thought that the determined ag-
gressiveness Kelley has inspired in
his charges for this particular affray
may equalize even the absence of the
teams ablest offensive unit.
Although no lineup has been def
nitely announced it is believed that
the following men will start Satur-
days brawl; Gowen, left end; Per
rine, left tackle; Neal, left guard;
Capt Plastino, center; Nagel, right
guard; Glindeman, right tackle;
Evans, right end; H. Brashears,
quarterback; A. Brashears, left half;
right half; j. Brown, full
