CHURCH BASEBALL LEAGUE Or
CANNED

At meeting held Monday night
in the office of the Presbyterian
church, the baseball teams of four
of the churches of Paris were rep
resented, Presbyterian by Garrett
Jefferson, Methodist by Chas. A.
Duncan, Christian by Lucien Arm
sparger, and the Baptist by J. T..
Tucker.
1t was decided to organize a
church league, one representative
from each of the churches to form
the managing board. A cup or a
pennant will be awarded the win
ming team. That the basis of meln-
bership should be fair to all teams
the board of managers decided that
the players must be members of the
church on whose team they are play
ing. Those who are playing profess
sional baseball are not eligible. A
good deal of interest has been shown
in the games which have been play
ed by the different church teams.
The formation of the league will
make the games more interesting.
Every church will back up and en-
courage it's team by turning out to
root for them at their games. Every
lover of baseball will be glad of the
chance to attend these games.

TOURING NEWSPAPER MAN VS.
IT'S PARIS.

Accompanied by four cocker span
1els, Elwood Lloyd, formerly on the
staff of the Memphis, Tenn, Com
mercial-Appeal. skipper, Karl L.
Marshall navigator, Mrs. Anna Mary
Lloyd, rsupercargo, and Bessie
Inomas bo'swain, arrived in Paris.
wednesday morning, aboard "The
SNAIL" an automobile which has been
ntted up as a travelling house, in
which the party left Memphis, on
July 13, on tour of the United
States. The members of the party
spent several hours in Paris, seeing
the city and it's sights, and left late
in the afternoon for Cynthiana, Fal-
mouth, and on to Cincinnati.
To avoid useless conversation the
travellers carried printed answers to
lO1 question, which covered thor
oughly and most efficiently the why's
and hows of the trip. This deferred
the two Paris newspaper men who
discovered them from asking more
than the usual number of questions
about the trip. The members of the
party told many interesting events
that had happened on the long jour-
ney from Memphis.
The tour, was arranged by MI.
Lloyd to spend year in the open
air upon the advice of his physicians.
The automobile was provided with
ample conveniences for making the
trip, arrangements being made for
camping out at night in tents con-
veniently attached to the machine.
Articles are being written by Mr.
Lloyd for Eastern newspapers and
magazines, detailing happenings
along the road, and the income from
these articles are expected to pay
the expenses of the trip. Mr.. Lloyd
mentioned Paris as being one of the
most attractive-loOking cities they
had seen in their journey through
the State.

SPECIAL TOBACCO DRIVE MEETS
GREAT SUCCESS

The big drive for signatures of
the tobacco growers in Bourbon
County to the Burley Marketing AS
ISOLATION is progressing rapidly and
! the successful work accomplished by
Chairman Sam Clay and his assist
ants Monday and Tuesday is most
encouraging. Mr.. Clay and his help
ers this week signed up over half a
million pounds of tobacco from Bour-
bon growers, which brings the total
amount of Bourbon tobacco pooled
to nearly half the acreage in the
county.
Bourbon tobacco growers who are
at all skeptical concerning the bene-
fits to be derived from signing Of
their tobacco in the Burley Tobacco
Marketing Association, should read
over the list of Bourbon County
farmers who are signing this con-
tract. The names of so many If
our successful farmers to this con-
tract should be most reassuring to
tobacco growers, and is in itself al
most guarantee that the marketing
association is the only safe way for
the farmer to market his tobacco to
the best advantage for all con-
cerned.
Every farmer who has not signed
this contract should read again this
sensible instrument of agreement,
and at the very earliest possible
moment he should put his signature
to it, thereby greatly assisting
Chairman Clay and his assistants,
who are working hard and unselfish-
ly, without any remuneration what
ever, for the success of the move
ment. q
Workers in the local campaign re-
port that it is not at all difficult,
in view of the prices paid for to-
bacco last year and the news from
the opening of the Southern market,
to induce growers to sign the con-
tract, nor is the five-year term prov
ing a handicap in the work, mas
mulch as most of the growers them
selves are convinced that something
more permanent than previous Or
CARNATIONS of the growers must be
had if any real stability in the to-
bacco market is to be the permanent
result.
In the campaign conducted the
first three days of this week the fol-
lowing results have been announced:
Woodford county, 100000 pounds;
Clark county, 100000 pounds; Fay
cite county, $4,000 pounds; Mercer
county, 100000 pounds; Scott coun-
ayJ62O,O00 pounds; Bourbon county,
$4,000 pounds, total of $780,

PASSENGER TRAIN AND AUTO
BUS COLLIDE

Nine person were injured, none
fatally, Wednesday night, when a
motor bus operating between Licking
ton and Georgetown, was struck by
Louisville & Nashville passenger
train at the crossing of Third and

was No. 1872, running between Paris
and Lexington. 1t makes connection
with the fast rorthbound and south

line of the L. & N. system through
Paris. The motor bus belongs to the
Bluegrass Transportation Co. of
Georgetown. The collision, accord
ing to A. B. Morrison, of George
town, driver of the truck, was I'M
avoidable, as he did not realize that

was but a few feet from the bus,
and it was then too late to stop.
The injured people were removed
to Lexington hospital, where they
were given medical attention, and
