The California syndicate drilling
for oil on the Lee Stephenson farm,
near Clintonville, have struck pock-
cts of gas at varying depths in the
wells being put down, and have
passed through three paying sands
which give good promise for the flu
ture. The drilling machines were
put to work last Thursday and have
been going continuously since then.
1t is the intention of those in
charge of the work to sink the wells
to depth of 1900 feet They have
now reached about half that depth,
and the results attained are very en-
couraging. The syndicate is COM
posed of Los Angeles, Calf, capital
lst, the work on the leases being uu-
der the supervision of !. s. Cooper,
formerly of Clintonville. For many
years the presence of oil in that vi
entity has been indicated from sur
face showings, and it is the hope OF
the promoters to give the field a
thorough test.

still very optimistic over the pros
poets for the future. They are pu1-
ting in all the available time. aud
making each hour bring some results.
As a rule the farmers and growers
have taken very kindly to the propo-
sition, seeing in il a possible solu-
ton of their marketing troubles,
and hoping for relief to the situation
through this means.
The latest report from the commit
tees was to the effect that about s.
100000 pounds of tobacco, in Bour-
bon county have been so far signed
up and several of the precincts have
signed up ninety-nine per cent. Of
the total acreage in their vicinity.
Several members of the committee
have had contracts mailed to them
the last few days by men who took
them home to study them over be-
fore signing.
As the growers come to more fully
understand the merits of the mar
keting plan. they find it easier to ac-
cept and sign their contracts, making

Ter. The campaign will proceed the

In vetoing the measure Mayor

that they will be in the next year
or two, in any better condition to
purchase suitable grounds and TO
construct buildings for the proper

the City Council to turn over the
property of the city to anyone with
out a valuable consideration, or bv
a vote of the people, or that the city
be given some suitable valuable con-
sideration."

Clerk was instructed to look UP all
persons who had been previously
notified to construct new concrete
pavements around their property, and
to serve notice upon them that such :
pavements must be constructed with

YOUNG FISH PLACED IN BOUR.
BON STREAM

! Representatives from the State
Game Commission at Frankfort were
in Paris a few days ago, in the in
terest of the work of the Commission.
While here, they paid a visit to the
fish hatcheries on the Xalapa Farm
of Edward F. Simms, near Paris,
and took away with them a consign-
ment of 4S9 young bass, and 2,6S3
newlights and Dream which were
placed in Stoner Creek. They were
assisted in the work by representa-
tives of the Bourbon County Game
and Fish Club. With the placing of
these young fish in Stoner Creek,
that stream is now well-stocked for
the future, providing excellent sport
in years to come for the legitimate
fishermen who fish for sports sake,
and not for "pothunting."

BASEBALL NOTES

A game on the Simms lot yester-
day between the Mt. Airy Giants and
the Main Street Tigers afforde ed
plenty of amusement and excitement
for the spectators, who were kent
guessing as to what the final outcome
would be. The final score stood 12
to in favor of the Mt. Airy Giants.

ton and Rice; for the Tigers, Jordan

at the hands of the Cynthiana team

get a glimpse of the home plate un-
til the final inning, when they man
aged to put three runs over. The
game was marked by listless playing
on the part of the Paris tossers, who
seemed to be afraid of Dud Kings

with his delivery. At one time in the
early part of the game Paris had
bases full, but could not get in
score. Cynthiana thumped the horse
hide sphere fer total of seven ruGs'
in one inning, the fifth, added one

TO STOP RUG FROM CURLING
Resizing Will Make Floor Covering
Look Much Better and Add to
Its Durability.

After cleaning, machine-made pile
rug sometimes loses its shape or wrin-
kles and curls up because the sizing
on the back has worn off. Resizing
will pay for itself by adding to the
durability Of the rug as well as by
making it look much better, and can
be done at home or by carpet dealer.
Directions for resizing are given In
Farmers Bulletin 1919, Floors and
Floor Coverings, new publication of
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture.
The rug should be stretched tight
and true and tackled at frequent In
tervals, face down, on floor or some
other fiat surface where it can remain
undisturbed. 1t should then be sprin-
kled generously with solution made
by soaking and dlssOlving one-fourth
pound of flake glue In one-half gallon
of water in double boiler or a con-
tainer surrounded by hot water. The
rug should be allowed to dry for at
least "a hours. If it Is light weight,
care should be taken not to put on SO
much glue that 1t penetrates to the
right side.
