members of the American Legion and

ference of the naval affairs committee

Spafford, New York, chairman of the
committee, who will announce the
date of the conference later.
1.-THE fact that there were eight
times as many men in the army as
there were in the navy during the
World war has tended to minimize the
needs Of the navy ex-service men," Mr..
Spafford declared in announcing the
conference. "Few persons know of
the high percentage Of tubercular
cases developed by men in the sub
chaser and submarine service, for in
stance"

Some few days since, late in the
afternoon, the sheriff received a
telephone communication telling OF
a blockade runners car headed this
way with goodly amount of white
whiskey as cargo. The informant
gave specific directions as to what
route the car would take in coming
to Paris, and also gave a minute
description of the car as to the

In Paris, it has been a proposition
for some years now of tenants, ten
ants everywhere, and not house in
sight and the dearth OF houses has
caused much alarm and unpleasant
feelings by those wishing to make
this city place of abode. The
launching of building and loan as
ISOLATION has been under eonsldera-
ton. and was revived again this
week when the Rotary Club appoint
ed committee to investigate and
report on the practicability of some
thing being accomplished along these
lines. There is no doubt as to Paris
being handicapped in building pro-
gress- particularly as to homes-be-
cause of inability of individuals to
secure the necessary capital, although
the risks were 100 per cent The
city really is growing faster than
is generally known, and people are
slipping into Paris unbeknownst to
the pessimist and prognosticator. A
conservative estimate would place the
increase in population here since the
1920 census at Is to 20 per cent.
New buildings other than homes,
include the new Catholic Church. the

of the car told the officers that he
understood that car of whiskey
had been started to Paris that same
afternoon from the point from
which he came, but that it in all
probability had come another route,
and that the sheriff's informant was
no doubt one of the sinners him
self, who had given erroneous direc-
tons in order to clear the section
OF the law so that he would be
enabled to transact his business
without interference.
However, the officials didn't make

City Plays Losing
Hand In Dealing
License To Rink

City Recorder Fred Bryant is
trying to figure out just how the
city can come out winner in the is
S.uance Of a license to II. s. Baum
gartner to operate a skating rink
in the city.
The rink has been in operation
some three weeks, the license priv
loge having been issued for $40.
ON Tuesday evening at o'clock the
tent topping the rink caught fire
and was completely destroyed. The
city fire department answered the
call and was effective in saving all
the property except the tent canvas,
but it cost the city some $50 to ex-
tinguish the fire, including sac
perdiem paid the firemen Recorder
Bryant is investigating the matter of
rendering statement against the rink
management for the cost of fighting
the fire, using a recent precedent
whereby the N. & G. railroad paid
for similar services in extinguishing
freight car on fire in a train EN-
route.
The damage to the rink, or rather
the tent, is covered by insurance,
and the skaters were deprived Of
the evenings pleasure one evening
only, operations having resumed

the county schools, Henry County
has just received its apportionment
of the public school fund as dis
bursed by Comptroller John b..
Thomson. The quota is given as
s10.340 based on scholastic popu-
lation of zoos. Practically all of
the schools of the county will have
begun by September 18th, all with
full facilities and complete com
plement of teachers. A year ago,
it will be remembered, teachers were
hard to obtain on account of the
meagre salary limit.
