newspaper publishers can arrest any

notifying the publisher. leaves himself
liable to arrest and fine, the same as

TEACHERS

TEACHERS are looking about these
L days for opportunities that will
give them better returns than those
the schools yield. This may be
pity from the point of view of the
schools, but 1t ls fact.
But many women love teaching, and
feel that they are particularly we'll
suited TO this work. Yet they must
earn more money. There is an op-
portnnity for Joining the two In teach
Ing craftsmanship. Many Of the big
department stores run classes for
teaching their salespeople better meth
obs aud for giving them a chance to
advance to the higher positions.
Teachers are now taking special
courses In selling and then going into
the teaching of this branch of COM
merce.
There Is also an opening In doing
special research work for retail and
department stores. and teachers are
qualifying for such positions. Natural
ly they soon make far greater salary
than ever they got by school-teaehing.
and what Is more the life itself Is
broader, more various and fuller o.
opportunity. Teachers who go into
commerce from this angle often de-
velop into saleswomen themselves. and
grow to prefer that work Executive
positions In retail and department
stores are also open to them after
the experience that comes with teach
ing.
A certain time spent in teaching
school Is good practice for almost any
job. Witness how many of our IA
nous men were at one time Of their
career teachers in country or city
schools. But the young woman who
wants to get out into the world and
make real future for herself will
not stay too long in the classroom.
she viii use her training to bring her
the best results possible. Executive
positions In wholesale and retail trade
nre one possibility. and an excellent
one.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS

VISED In the sense of an in

TO sell, this combination OF two
words has recently gained for
itself n place in English die
tionaries, though the word IT.
self Is nearly century old,
dating back to 1924 when Thur
dell was hanged for the murder
Of Weare, a crime which was
one of the most sensational In
the annals of London police.
II happened that printer by
the name OF Catnach saw
chance to make a considerable
sum of money through the pub
licntion of what he alleged 10
be the murderer's speech from
the gallows. The paper con
tanning this report sold fairly
well, hut the receipts did not
come up to catnachs expeeta-
tons. So he printed a second
edition. with a headline in large
letters across the top OF the
sheet: 1--WE ARE alive again :"
These words actually appeared
IN Weare's speech. as reported,
but the printer purposely left
very little spree between the
first two words Of the phrase
and, reading the line "WEAb'
alive aenin :" thousands Of 'pei
sons bought the paper be'ore
they discovered the deception.
The London Times referred
to the matter as a "catchpenny
device" and the printer "as
thereafter known az Catch
penny" Catnaeh. SO descriptive
was the word that 1t has re-
manned In the language to this
day.

TEMPERANCE UNION
AT JOHNSON CHAPEL
Plans Announced for All-Day Con-
yentiOn, of w. G. Il. u.
September 28th.

Members of the three w. c. T. u.
chapters of the county, from Paris,
which organization has a member
ship of nearly one hundred, and
from Hazel and Whitlock, respec-
lively, which have memberships of
about fifty each, will meet at an
all-day county convention at John
sons Chapel, Sept 20, all w. C. T.
u. workers, and all interested in
w. c. II. u. ideals being urged to
attend.
Mrs. ]. l.. Stewart, county W. c.
T. U. president, will preside, and a
suitable program for the day has
been prepared.
Those attending are asked to carry
individual box lunches, the idea be-
ing not to burden the people of the
Johnson Chapel community with the
trouble of preparing lunch for the
convention delegates, as they are so
hospitable to offer their church and
grounds for this important meeting.
The appended announcement of
W G.. T. U. interest is made from
the Iaris chapter, of which Mrs
". L Warren is president and Mrs
J. d. Atkins secretary:
THE meeting of the w. C. IT. u.
for the election of officers and and
the selection OF delegates to the con
vention at Jackson, October Is to 10,
will be held with Mrs. j. d. Atkins
Tuesday at three o'clock
Every member is urged to be
present and either bring or send their
dues for 1921 as the treasurers books
close Oct. 6.
I'VE thank the public for the CO
operation and patronage during the
fair. Also the Peoples Coal & Ice
Co. who furnished all the ice needed

Punishment Too Much For
Freshies and Parents
Intercede.
Initiation Carried Beyond
Extreme By Students
Grove School.
Fun Developed Into Injury
Before Faculty Knew
Full Extent.

Numbers of new students in the
freshie lineup at Grove School are
unable to attend regular meals at the
table, and others are considerably
bruised and banged up, the result
of the annual hazing which again
took place the past week when the
school opened for the fall term.
This year the hazing seems to
have gone the limit, so to speak-in
fact il went beyond the limit, and
the punishment of fun developed into
real punishment to such an extent
that parents, guardians, and friends
bad to intercede, although too late
TO preclude the injury that had been
inflicted.
The faculty although knowing of
the hazing process which is indulged
in every year, did not realize that 1t
would be carried beyond the bounds
of reason this year until it was too
late, and the reaction has resulted in
stringent rules being adopted that
will stop the practice in future.
Supt. Bayer of the school, issues the
following statement to the parents
and patrons OF the sehool:
We regret more than we can tell
that there was padding and other
rough treatment upon the part of
some of the boys at Grove the first
day of our opening. The occurrence
was unfortunate and we deplore it,
and since there has been so much
comment upon the subject we feel
that a statement from US would not
be out of place.
1t seems that this conduct has
been custom at Grove in the past
and that cases as severe as those
of the past week have taken place
OF course the boys meant no harm
and the greater part OF the Fresh
men took the treatment good ma
turedly, and some of them really
enjoyed it and would have felt slight
ed if they had been neglected while
others took it very seriously and with
the parents making no allowance for
school boy conduct. / might say
just here that one of my own boys
got good padding along with the
rest with distinct marks of what had
taken place. The old custom to-
gether with the over enthusiasm of
the boys was the cause and they
did not know when to stop. AS to
the ill feeling between the boys there
was absolutely none on the other
hand, the best of feeling prevailed
and these boys are today fast
friends
You must not construe from the
above that we approve of such con-
duct or tolerate it for this is not
the case. Each year we have been
here we have had trouble of this
kind at the opening OF school and
each time it has been promptly
handled This year we had an un-
usual number present and while the
teachers were assembled in faculty
meeting and before any one realized
what had taken place, the work was
done. In the afternoon meeting the
question was brought up and the
faculty went on record as condemn
ing the act outright and every Pre-

Rained out for two days and

hard proposition, financially, in
the face, but will come out

end of the horn, says Secretary
John Richardson.
The gate receipts for the four
days aggregated only $1,670,
but with the clipping from con
cessions, carnivals, and entry
fees, plus some $1,400 which
the association had in bank left
over from last year, they will
be able to pay all expenses of
the 1921 meeting, although the
pocketbook was stepped on and
badly mashed by one of the

Four big camps sheltering an hun
men working with the four sub-con-
tractors under Contractors Little &
Dean at different, points on the new
federal highway between Paris and
the Kentucky state line are making
overnight showings that are hardly
believable, and the grading work will
continue throughout the winter with
additional men and teams employed
as fast as working conditions will
permit
The first big camp is located a
mile beyond the city limits on the
Iron Bank Road, the grading com
mencing at the old ice factory site
just beyond the long levee, and the
new fill continues on tangent, or
straight line, and will connect up
with the present road back of and
just beyond the old Ewing place.
This is one of the largest pieces of
north highway, and eliminates from
the main road all that portion of the
present road from the end of the
present leVee around to the forks
where the Brown Springs Road
branches off and on up the hill past
the old Ewing home place. 1t thus
does away with not only a difficult
grade but a hazardous curve at the
Brown Springs forks, where the view
of the diverging roads is now OBJ
scured. That portion of the old
roadbed from the forks on up to
the new connection beyond the Ew,
ing place win eventually be aban-
doned.
The next big camp is located at
the Collier place 10 miles out, just
before reaching the point where the
Boydsville road leaves the main Cot
tage Grove road. Here another big
fill is being put in and the align
ment' of the road changed, taking il
entirely out of the bottom lands ard
putting it on high ground. There
will be a concrete bridge 100 feet
in length to take care OF the surface
drainage at this point.
