WHAT ORGANIZATION MIGHT
ACCOMPLISH FOR PARIS

For years Paris has endeavored to
support a Commercial Club or some
such kindred organization. The
effort has met with more or less sue
cess, generally the other way. A
few well-meaning business men
would get the movement going and
then the whole structure would sag
down, due to a waning interest.
Nothing can be accomplished in that
way.
In organization lies the strength
of a community. In numbers lies
strength, but a mob is merely a
clumsy giant A few men Well in
hand can accomplish more for town
than can a host out of bounds. In
every project that has come before
Paris and Bourbon county this has
been time and again exemplified
When any project has to be put over
it certainly takes an effective work
ing organization to do it. There Is
as muchI joy and satisfaction in be-
ing a. cog-wheel as handspring
The duties of the cog are just as
important as those of the chief mo-
tive, and the main essential is that
we dc the job, great or small, to the
very best of our ability. Therein
lies this satisfaction.
Every good citizen of a commu-
lity must fight up to his weight.
Some of us are lightweights; soma
are heavyweights. We have some OF
each class in the Commercial Clubs.
The weight matters not so much a.
that we do our best. The para
mount feature in organization in
The community life of Paris and
Bourbon county is that we all pull
tosether. Sink the minor differ
ences in order to gain the
chief one. 1t is in the results that
there comes satisfaction, and out of
those results Paris and Bourbon
county will forge to the front.

ONE HUNDRED PER CENT


 One hundred percent Americanism has ceased to be phase. It is l1v- ing force, finding its truest physical embodiment in the American Legion.
 There is nothing intangible or nebu- lous about the views or policies of the Legion on this question. At it's first National Convention in Minneapolis on November II, 1919, the Legion spoke to the American people. It did not humble it's words. In tones vibrant with the fervor of irrepressible Ameri- canism the Legion laid down it's plat form:
 1. To combat all anti-American ac- tivities and propaganda; 2. to work for the education of immigrants, pros- pective American citizens and alien residents in the principles of Ameri- canism; 8. to inculcate the ideals of Americanism in the citiven popu- lation, particularly the basic Ameri- can principles that the interests of All the people are above those of any special interest or any socalled class or section of people; 4. to spread throughout the nation information as to the real nature and principles of American Government; 5. to foster the teachings of Americanism in all the schools.
 The Lloyd c. Hill Post of the Amer ican Legion subscribes without reser- yation to every word of this national platform of the Legion. In combating any ism" destructive of well ordered government there is no limit to which this post will not go in support of proper authority, The Post only asks to be shown by proper authority how, where and when it can best serve and it will be there to serve. On the oth- CT hand, in any clear cut industrial dispute between employer and em- ployee the Lloyd c. Hill Post steers course of unbiased neutrality, adVo- eating only those things in harmony with the spirit of One hundred per cent Americanism and which it may believe to be clean and good for all

others besides him who have been filling their lungs with the free air they refused to help keep free, and now that the hour of retribution ap- breaches, are invoking the protection of the fireside institutions their lack Of manhood sent others to defend.
 Thos applications, pathetic as they are, must be in vain. The Bergdoll finding is an impressive beginning. But it is a. beginning only. There must be no diminution of ecort until the last guilty one of the 173,OOO has been given his belated bit to do.

MONTHLY MEETING

The regular monthly meeting of the Lloyd c, Hill Post was held May r, 1920, with an unusually good attend ance. Among the many items of in- terest and importance to eX-service men were reports bearing upon the adjusted compensation legislation which is now before our congress; War Risk Insurance; the satisfactory adjustment of relations between a local eX-service man and his emply. CT. case of a man who upon reem- ployment after his service found his former position usurped by ''stay-at. home,"
 A committee was appointed to in- quire into the feasibility of establish. ing a town market and if consistent with local and producing conditions, accomplish this installation. Our com munity has long felt the need of a permanent method of securing fresh farm products, and 1t is believed that the valley producers will cooperate with this Legion toward a project which will be of material benefit to all interested.
 Sergt-at-arms Harry Jackson, better known as "Killowatt'' or Boots was upon recommendation of an investigat, ing committee, brought before the Posts tribunal of justice, to answer an alleged charge of violating the des- olutions adopted by this post govern ing the wearing of khaki. The High Kangaroo of the court, Post Command. CT Chrisman, after an impartial and just trial, imposed sentence, the full. fillment of which is of necessity post, poned until after the opening of the next win rouge" season.
 After the trial a feeed was served
 The next regular meeting will be held June IS, 1920.

Considerable interest was manifest ed in the case of a Mexican who want ed to be married one day last week. He appeared before Judge Lally pre- senting a license but the Judge, who does hisi own thinking in such cases, asked the man a few questions which brought out the fact that the man had already been married to a woman in Mexico. The ceremony took place in the church there. Judge held that he was legally married and refused to tie a second knot. The man in- sisted that he could go to Clifton and be married there, where he secured his license That did not work with the Judge, he went to Clifton arriving there few minutes after the services were over and had the man arrested for bigamy. His case will come up before Sheriff Slaughter at the next term of court The Mexican Consul will doubtless plead the case. This will establish a very important pre- cedent for future cases.

Why You Should Join The Legion

Why You Should Join The Legion
 The American Legion has it's incep- ton in two principles-service to it's country and service to it's comrades. The former is determined by the Le- zion efforts to perpetuate the spirit which induced it's members to respond to the country's call in time of need, by doing all possible to maintain 100 per cent Americans throughout the Nation.
 The latter is shown through the ob- taining of an increased compensation for the disabled, from $3O.00 to $SO.OO, and from $S0.OO to $10O.O0 Increased benefits in War Risk Insurance; has adjusted thousands of claims for con- pensation for disabled men and de- pendents of men who have died; in vestigation and reform in Federal Board of Vocational Education; pref erence for ex-service men and their widows in Civil Service appointments; secured employment for thousands of men just out of the uniform, etc, etc.
 The Legion has demanded and will see that the demand is satisfactorily granted, that an adjustment be made between compensation received oy the service man and the man who did not serve.
 The Legion will decorate on May 30th every grave of a fellow comrade who sleeps on the fields of the A. EFF. Labor, through it's estimable leader Samuel Gompers, says there is no reason why union man should not join.
 The Legion is non+partisan and non political, no class nor creed dominates it's thought or action. It is not a mil itary organization, nor does member ship therein effect or increase liabil. ity for military or police service.

THE sLAckER's "BIT"

Prison doors yawn for the slimy and traitorous Bergdoll. New York, which sometimes bestows honorary citizen ship upon distinguished persons who tarry within her hospitable' borders, has our sympathy, for in all probabil- ity the national super-slacker will do his "bit'' behind the strong walls of Castle William. Bergdoll? No more than any other decent community or individual, will New York relish his presence or his propinquity. During the recent trial by general court-1nartial BergdolPS very fellow-prisoners at Fort Jay ex' pressed so vigorously their contempt for the unwanted stacker that Bergdoll impervious to shame as he has been, begged for solitary cell.
 And yet Bergdoll IS ''wanted;" want ed for just one purpose, and that is to complete his term in prison and live thereafter a life of obloquy, a breath ing reminder of the harsh but just fate that America bequeaths to traitors. The crime for which Bergdoll was tried is punishable by death. But Bergdoll will live, and the longer he lives the longer will be the lesson and the stronger the warning to those cravens who in future would emulate his example. By such lessons are na- tions cleansed and made heart-whole.
 And lest we focus too closely our vision on Grover Cleveland Bergdoll the reminder may be timely that he stood not alone. There are, in fact,
