TO TIME

Charged with having appropriated
to their own uses fine fishing reel
belonging to Clyde, Keller, of The

PARIS COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES

A meeting of the newly organized
Community Service Committee was
held at the home of Miss Lucy B.
on Second street, Tuesday
evening when articles of incorpora-
tiOne were drawn up and adopt
eded. These articles will be filed
with the Secretary of State immedi-
ately. The purpose of the organiza-
ton, as stated in the articles, is to
develop more adequate community re-
creation, with immediate attention 20
the Fairgrounds for children and the
development of other park and play
spaces. BY means of this work, the
effort will be to create more ac-
tive community spirit. A very
pleasant feature of the meeting
Tuesday evening was the provision
Miss Simms had made for those pres
ent. Cigars were served to the men,
and bonbons to the ladies.
This final form of organization is
the result of the initiative taken by
the Commercial Club and the WO-
mans Club to encourage and promote
Fairgrounds and parks for Paris.
The local Community Service orga-
nization will be affiliated with the
National Community Service, with
headquarters in New York. Through
the medium of this national orgam-
cation they will be able to receive
the advantages of experience along
these lines in all parts of the coun-
try. One of the features OF the Ma
tional movement is to provide speci-
alists in lines of work that is being
| promoted locally Carrying out TINS
| idea it is expected that Miss Sopmt
! Fishback will arrive in Paris aDou'
the first of June to, demonstrate Ger
tain playground activities and to de-
velop local people for leadership o
such activities.
| Since this is community organ
cation, it is felt that it should o.
thoroughly democratic. The articles
of incorporation have been so draw
I'D that all members of the commu
nity may participate in its supper
and the benefit to be derived. W

PLEA FOR SIMPLICITY
GRADUATION DRESSES

The schools of Paris and the
county are now planning for grad
uation exercises of their senior
classes, and for exhibitions that
shall conclude the years work. The
cost of graduation has been one rea-
son why many people fail to send
their children through school, par
ticularly their daughters. Where a
girl must have two handsome dresses
in order to make a good showing, be-
sides gloves, fans, flowers, rings,
pictures, engraved invitations, and
no end of fussy details, it is a big
burden on the backs of a hard-work-
ing family.
Frequently a family with slender
means. has spent just as much rs
others. They hated to admit any in
feriority. The girl of wealth might
be Indifferent to expenditure, be-
cause she could wear handsome
gowns on most any old occasion
But it was the poor girls one chance
to make a spurge, and she proposed
to go the limit.
School authorities ought to stor
that kind of thing. Graduating ex.
ercises should be made simple an6
democratic, so they should be nc
barrier to the family of small means
The plan for having girls make
their own clothes for graduation ha'
been adopted in many schools. Sucf
an idea could be we'll recommended
to the young folks of Paris. Cir
graduates thus attired win admira
ton for their skill and initiative ant
common sense, more than they woult
ever get for any expenditure the!
would make with costly dressmakers
Boys who invite girls to attent
the festivities of these occasion
sometimes feel that they must spent
money lavishly on automobiles AM
flowers. A mother said the othe
day that the girls care nothing TO
such attentions and would just a
soon walk to a dance. Money ha
been coming very easy to some boy
through the period of high wages
but the time will come when the
will need il.

In asking about the unsatisfac-
tory telephone service the other days
1t was explained to us in a manner
that ought to be accepted by the nat
rons and overlooked to a cerain ex-
tent. 1t is as follows:
AT p. m. two new operators
come on duty and two old ones go
go off; at z o'clock the night OPERA
sumo duty again and the new ones
go aft; at o'clock the night opera
tor comes on, etc., etc. The night
work is generally better than the
day work and you can get service
if the line is not busy and you don't
need new batteries. etc., etc."
With such an explanation as the
above it looks like the public is ask
ing too much. Let's be little more
lenient-we didn't know the circum-
stances.
At Jefferson City, Mo-, Wednesday,
the State Public Service Commission
ruled that telephone subscribers have
right to use abusive language at
least once to telephone operators
when connections are not satisfac-
tory. The ruling was made in the
case of George HI. Oxford, Daviess
county farmer. who sued to have>ser-
vice restored by the Carlow Tele-
phone Co. ,Oxford's telephone had
been removed following an alterca-
ton with a young man in charge Of
the exchange at Carlow.
In making the ruling the Commis-
sion stated that a single instance of
use of abusive language was not
/ grounds for djSeOnfinuancoO f snrvino
/ Mention of similar decision by the
Illinois commission was made in the
decision.

TAKE NOTICE, EDITOR FISHER

Many of the big chug holes or era
tiers left in the principal streets OF
Paris were being filled up yesterday
by force of workmen under the d.
rection of the street department.
Many more remain to be similarly
treated. THE NEWS ventured a sug-
gestion several days ago to the enect
that the streets were in bad condl-
ton and needed repairing. We don {
claim credit for the work being done,
but perhaps the seed fell on pre-
pared ground and bore fruit.

CHANGE FOR LOCAL MEN.

Perhaps no better way in which to take n months change of scene and action will be presented to local men between tho ageI oi Is and 35 than that offered. by the government in the chance given for a months miIi- tary training at Camp Devens.
 The enlisted men will go August 1, and return the last day of that month. There is no further responsibility. The men will De furnished with uniforms. and ~wil/ not be obliged to serve in tho aGkay after the camping period has ckpired.
 Tkrs ia no question but that many of the unemployed, who havo no ono dependent upon them, would ba bene- shtod by taking advantage of this chance. Not only will their living cost them nothing. but they will re- turn better fitted to attack again the struggle for existence which seems to bo such a struggle theso days.
 If those men who have no depend ents go to this camp they will in measure relieve tho unemployment situation for that month. leaving moro of what work there Is to be done. to those who must earn money to sup port their dependents.
 But this must not be the spirit en- tirely that prompts men to go to camp. They should and will recog- nizo tho chance it givsa them for a change and the taking in of some of the fine feeling that should inspire tha loyal soldier. t
 From all angles thosoutlook is most hopeful for good resuis to, come from tho plana for thia capp. and for others like 1t.

NO EXTRA TAX NOW.

Now Britain people need not feel that their city is in q position to worry about money to run it's de- partments.
 There is money in hand, and more will come in from taxes immediately. to run the city we'll into the winter.
 No possibility of aa extra tax is contemplated this calendar year.
 The fiscal year ends next April. If economy is practiced and only the necessary expenses incurred. such as must como in order to prevent inef- hcieney in the administration of city affairs and deterioration of the city's standing. 1t is possEsle. that thore will bo enough money to carry the city all through its fiscal year. as was expected.
 If. however. 1t Is found by win ter that the needed revenue has not como in, 1t may be necessary for a small extra tax. of perhaps half a mill. which would come next year.
 Next year! If conditions arc not vastly improved by that time-by the time the rumored extra tax will be necessary, oven those who have boon unwilling to be quoted as Insisting that times will be better, will be terribly surprised.
 When an "extra tax" is mentioned no one should make it n reason for drawing longer face--if such a thing is possible.
 The mention of the matter should not be allowed to intensity the feel ing that pervades in some quarters that there is no relief in sight.
 Nothing may be gained by point ing to discouraging things that may. or may not happen six or eight months from now. '
 And great deal may be gained by reassuring ourselves that, even if we ourselves arc hard up, our city has money enough to go along and take care of the things that are necessary.

DISARMAMENT.

Of course there ia satisfaction over the adoption of the Borah amend ment looking toward a conference on the matter of naval disarmament be- tween the United States. Great Brit ain and Japan.
 It Is a. step-but only a step--in the right direction. The folly of linn ting this conference-or any confer ence--to matters naval should seem clear. ....#
 If the adoption of this amendment to the naval appropriations. bill de> lays the carrying out of tho wishes of tho people. namely. to have a con- ference looking toward general dis arInhment of all nations. on land and on sea, 1t will be most unfortunate.
 If. however. the adoption of this arnendmont proves a stepping stone toward q conference en general dis armament-toward tho general con ference of all nations on all matters a--toward. in fact. n league to con- slider the whole matter. 1t will be sat- istaotory indeed.
 Perhaps this is too much to expect. But anything that recognizes the necensity to such a league. call it by any name one will, brings hope.

AT THE DOOR

HI DoON When the work of day is over And the workers homeward go, have noticed, on occasion,
 Footsteps fast and others slow; And I just diyined a reason,
 Though there may be many more Why some men go racing homeward-
 Little faces at the door. Aimiess. shiftless souls are walking
 On the crowded boulevards Sliding in between each other
 Like the shuttle of the cards. can read from out their manner
 That they. one and all, deplore Having missed the greatest blessing Little footsteps at the door. From the busy mart of finance
 From the office and the shop, Comes the steady stream of fathers And not one of them will stop To console a lonely mortal,
 When the toll of day is OCT; .T'iIsy are drawn as to a magnet q Little children at the door. r
 twhen the sky Is red with sunset
 And the birds sressinging low, When the spirit of contentment
 Soo:hes the troubled face of Woe, Though man may be a pauper, ! He has more than worldly store Baby laughter at the door.
