PROGRESS OF THE
BURLEY CAMPAIGN
Only Thirty Days Remain For
The Growers To
Sign Up.
CAMPAIGN CLOSES NOV. Is.

With barbecue and burgoo at
Danville yesterday, addresses by
Judge Robert W. Bingham, of Lou
isville, at Georgetown, Wednesday,
and at -Cynthiana, Thursday, and
the return of Aaron Sapiro, of Cali
fornia, to Kentucky, for confer
ence with the workers in the to-
bacco campaign at Lexington, Fri
day, the weeks program of the Bur
ley Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association is a comprehensive one,
and marks the start of the final
month of the campaign to sign rs
per cent of the tobacco crop of the
Burley district to the cooperative
marketing plan of the association.
The local campaign has progressed
to the point where about ninety per
cent. of the Bourbon county tobacco
crop has been signed with the Asso-
citation plan. This is a great show
ing, much better than most of the
counties in Central Kentucky, but it
is the desire of the campaign mana
gers to make it an even one hundred
per cent. The time to do this is
right now, while the irons hot"
Less than a month remains in which
to pool this crop of tobacco in the
Burley Association marketing plan,
and if the farmers of OBurbon cOun-
ty wish to obtain reasonable price
for their tobacco their only hope is
to put it in the Association's hands,
and permit them to receive, handle
and dispose of the 1921 crop as a
whole.
Remember last January, when your
tobacco crop was not worth haul
ing to Paris? The same thing can
happen again, and doubtless will
happen unless the entire crop is
pooled and disposed of intelligently
Remember, tobacco growers that the
campaign for signatures to the Asso-
cations contracts must close on No
vember Is, and if by chance some
of the other counties fail to sign up
enough, the marketing plan may be
lost, solely because some Of the Blue
| Grass counties failed to sign up
around one hundred per cent, there
by supplying the deficiency of the
seventy-five per cent, throughout the
| district lacking in some other local
ity.
There are yet large number OF
growers in this county who are not
members of the Association. To them
it should be pleasure to seek Chair
man Clay or one of his assistants
and sign up their tobacco. HelI
make the Association plan a great
success for all time. But thirty
days remain, so do your part al
once, and come in
So important is this movement
deemed that it has been suggested
the retail merchants of Paris could
render a great service to the com.
munity by joining Chairman Clay
and his assistants and visiting per-
sonallly every grower in the county
who has not signed the marketing
plan contract.

KENTUCKY SYNOD
CLOSES SESSIONS
Meeting Enlivened By A Resolution
To Merge The Two
Synods
BOWLING GREEN IN 1922

The three-days' sessions of the
Synod of Kentucky of the Presby-
terian church came to an end Thurs
day night with an eloquent sermon
by Rev. r. L. Telford, D. D., of Rich
mond. The sessions were full of in
terest and were attended by large
crowds each night and day.
Bowling Green was selected as the
place for holding the next Synod,
on the fourth Tuesday in September,
1922. A resolution was passed ask
ing the next State Legislature to re-
peal that section of the Kentucky
statutes which legalizes the use of
the pari-mutual system of betting
on race tracks.
The outstanding feature of the
Synod was the report of the Com
mission on Schools and Colleges,
which was part of the joint COM
| mission of the two Synods of Ken
! lucky. The Commission reported to
both Synods that Centre College at
Danville had severed it's connection
with the Carnegie Foundation, and
| so changed it's articles of incorpora-
tion as to it's being under the joint
! control of the two SynOds, and that
the Kentucky College for Women,
| also at Danville, had likewise come
under the control of the two Syn
DDS by similar change of charter.
The afternoon session was enliv-
ened by the appearance on the floor
Of about fifty laymen of the Tran
| sylvania Presbytery, the Northern
| branch, who presented a resolution
calling for the uniting of the North
| ern and Southern branches of the
church, and asked for it's adoption
The argument which followed was a
warm one. The matter was finally
placed in the hands of a committee
with the understanding, as one min
| lister put it, that it was not to re-
port for the next ten years.

the presenting of the resolution
the members forgot they were to
make a motor trip to the Xalapa

COLORED CHURCH
REFUSED PERMIT
Council Refuses Building Permit To
Colored Baptist
Church
COUNCIL ADOPTS ORDINANCE

At the last regular meeting OF the
City Council, held in the Councll
Chamber, the outstanding feature
was a heated controversy between
representatives of the city OF Paris
and Attorney Wade H. Whitley, rep
resenting the Board of Trustees or
the colored Baptist church. The
Council refused to grant permit to
the Trustees for the erection of a
brick church building on the lot re-
Gently purchased by them on Short
and Sycamore streets, the proposed
building to cost in the neighborhoOd
of $4,000.
The lot which was purchased by
the Trustees of the church was sew
eral months ago placed in the hands
of a local real estate agency to be
sold. The Trustees expressed will
lingness to buy the property for a
church location. The price of ST.
500 was set on the lot, which was
agreed to by the church officers
Before closing the sale the real es-
tate people made a canvass of the
neighborhood and offered to sell the
property to any of the white neigh
bors for the same figure No one
apparently desired to invest in the
property and it was finally sold to
the church.
The Council refused to grant the
permit for erection of the building
on the grounds that an insufficient
number of property-owners adjacent
to the proposed site had not been
properly notified. The matter was
again brought before the Council,
and permission to build was refused
because, it was alleged, some Of the
adjoining property-owners had offer
ed objections. The property is
bounded by two streets, both OF
which are peopled by colored peo-
pie. Attorney Wade H. Whitley, as
representative of the church, gave
notice that he would file manda-
mus suit asking that the city be re-
qired to grant the permit.
Following the meeting of the
Council the usual ordinance was
adopted and ordered published, pro-
hibiting the erection of building
to be used for other than residence
purposes, where a lot is located on a
square bounded by at last two
streets, which are used principally
for residence purposes, without first
obtaining the consent of a majority
of the property owners.

TO PRESERVE
HISTORIC CHURCH
Movement Started To Preserve His
toric Old Cane Ridge
Church
SUBSCRIPTION PAPERS OUT

A movement has been started in
Paris for the purpose of preserving
the historic old Cane Ridge Chris
tian church, and the adjacent
grounds, so that future generations
may still have the privilege of see
ing the place which has been term
ed very aptly 1.-The Cradle of Chris
tianity."
The general public is familiar with
the history of the old church, in
way. 1t was here that some of the
greatest preachers of the Christian
church, later termed the Disciples
Church, swayed multitudes by their
eloquence, and gave an added i'm
petus and strength to the religious
movement, which was then strug-
Cling for existence. The old church
and its pioneers have been the sub
ject of many contributions to the
local and foreign papers, as we'll as
to religious papers and magazines,
all over the country. For a time
it lacked the care that should have
guarded such an important link in
the religious history of the country,
but loving hands took it in charge
and restored it to it's rightful place.
Back in the early days of the coun-
ty's history the old Cane Ridge
church was the meeting place for
hundreds of enthusiastic worship
pers, history recording their devo-
tion, and their trials and struggles.
1t is now proposed to solicit con-
tributions for the purpose of pre-
serving for all time the old church
and the graveyard adjoining where
reposes the dust of many diStin-
guished pioneers and workers in the
church. To this end subscription
papers have been placed in the hands
of Mr.. j. Will Thomas, of Paris, who
will call on the people in a few days.
The text of the papers is as follows:
Whereas, 1t is desirable to pre-
serve, as far as possible, and as long
as possible, the old Cane Ridge
Christian church, located at Cane
Ridge, in Bourbon county, consist.
ing of about four acres of land, with
a frame church building and q

Now, the undersigned subscrib-
ers of this paper agree to pay the
amount set opposite his or her re-
spective name, to raise a fund, the
income of which shall be used fol
this purpose aforesaid, and the saiG
fund shall be payable to j. w

The present death rate Of Indians

of the whole race is said to be afflicted
with tuberculosis and 10000 with

OBSERVATIONS
Written specially for The Post
What the Peace Resolution Is

The peace resolution signed by
President Harding on July I'd was
legislative declaration that the state
Of war between the German Govern
ment and the United States is at an
end. This new declaration, while no'
p repeal in form, has the effect Oh re-
healing the war declaration between
the United States and Germany, made
bv Congress in 1917, and ends a teen
meal state of war.
The resolution contains provisions
reserving to the United States all
property and other interests ana
rights in connection with Germany
secured during the war and by the
.rn;stice agreement and the treaty
Of Versailles. The resolution is by
no means a treaty, however, and does
not change the terms of Germany
nresent relation to the United States
or create new terms. These must be
left to a treaty between the TWO
countries.
A question has been raised as &c
whether this declaration of peace VII
logically result in the withdrawal
from Germany of United States troops
placed there to safeguard the terms
of the armistice.

carefully prepared estimates and re-
ports. Director Dawes has taken,
without doubt or question, the word
of the administration and of Con-
gress, that economy and efficiency are
demanded in the expenditure of nat
ional funds. The new budget law be-
came operative July first. In the
short time since his appointment Gen.
eral Dawes has let the country know
that he is on the job by the immediate
organization of his department and by
what was one of the most unique con-
ferences even held at Washington.
With the consent of the President, all
the administrative officers of the gov
eminent from cabinet members to
bureau clerks in the various subordl-
nate bureaus, were called to mass
meeting on June 20, to hear the pro-
gram for preparing an economical
budget, and to be told the part they
were to play. President Harding pre-
sided. He emphasized the serious
ness of wasteful governmental meth
DDS of expenditure today, in world
weakened industrially and financially
by war. General Dawes made the
most of his opportunity to press home
the responsibility and the remedy to
those who actually are the spenders;
and more than that, they knew when
he had finished that the time to act
was now. Easy-going methods, pad
ded pay-rolls and inefficient depart
ment and Office organization are to go
The painful process of readjustment
is to be sweetened however, by close
contact with an able and understand
ing director, whose enthusiasm is con
tagious and who can keep before thu
eyes of every administrative officer {
definite aim and result of his public
service in governmental economy
which will test his mettle..

Lost Ships Start
Rumors of Pirates

The lover of pirate stories has been
scanning his morning paper during
the past few weeks in search OF
modern tale of daring and dark ad-
venture on the sea. The Carroll A.
Deering, an American schooner, was
reported lost on February l. Inc
American steamer Hewitt was last
heard from on January 20. three
British schooners, an Italian steamer,
a Spanish steamer, Norwegian park
and a Brazilian steamer are among
the vessels which have disappeared
during the past year, without trace
The Carroll A. Deering has since been
found wrecked, but nothing has been
discovered regarding the disappear
ance of the whole crew, and the lie
boat and dory which were carried by
the ship.
Various theories have been advanc-
ed as to the fate of the ten vessels
lost within year. The popular cry
of pirates has been pretty generally
scorned by the shipping authorities
who suggest that floating mines and
natural accidents are the more plaus-
ible causes. The United States wea-
Their bureau reports a severe storm IN
February, which the officials OF that
bureau believe could easily be res
ponsible fo~ the sinking Of several OF
the ships. Mutiny IN the case of the
Deering is another theory.
So far the taleo lost ships Tor
1920 and 1921 has got no nearer
revival of the thrilling and blood
curdling classics in piracy, than the
bare admission by some ship-oWners
and sea-faring men, that of course
there is still piracy on the seas; but
nothing can induce them apparently
even with the present opportunity fol-
head lines, to tell a single story OF
the modern sea-bandits.
