PROBABLE INCREASE OF 40 PER
CENT ON THE PARIS
WATER RENTALS

TO THE WATER CONSUMERS OF
PARIS:
We understand the Paris Water
Company will demand on the first
day of April an increase of 40 per
cent. on water rentals, which in
crease we have cause to believe is
unnecessary and unjust.
In order to fully ascertain the in
come of the Paris Water Company
we have selected canvassers who
will call upon all water consumers in
the city of Paris within the next few
days and obtain from the consumers
the amount of money expended for
water rental during the year 1920.
We would request each and every
consumer to have together the
amounts of money expended for wa
ter rents during the year in order
to furnish our canvaSSers with this
information at once and not cause
them to make unnecessary trips.
This assistance on the part of the
consumers will be of great benefit
to the canvassers and to the under
signed.
At the proper time we will take
the necessary legal steps to prohibit
the increase being made in water
rentals. In the meantime we would
request each and every consumer to
refuse to pay the increased rentals,
but tender to the Paris Water Com
panS the amount under the old rates.
We will keep the public advised of
future developments and ask their
assistance and cooperation in this
matter.

BOURBON COUNTY FARM Blu.
REAU SETS PRICES

At a recent meeting of the Exec
utive Board of the Bourbon County
Farm Bureau it was decided to set
price for shearing sheep through
out the county. Owing to the fact
that the farmers will not realize
much on their wool, the Board
thought it was no more than
fair that the price for shearinS
sheep should be lowered. The price
that was agreed upon is ten cents per
fleece for that cut by hand and fif-
teen cents cut with the clippers, put
in the sack. The Board hopes that
this meets with the approval OF the
farmers and that they will abide by
these prices.

PARIS STYLE SHOW. APRIL 5TH
AND 9Th

All the arrangements have prac-
tically been completed for the Spring
Style Show, which is to be held at
the Paris Grand Opera House, on
Tuesday and Wednesday, April S and
6, by the merchants of Paris, under
auspices of the Paris Commercial
Club. A page display advertisement
setting forth many of the features of
the project show will be found on
page four of this issue of THE
NEWS.
All roads, including the projected
Dixie Highway, are expected to lead
to Paris on these days, and those who
attend the style show will go away
praising the enterprise of the Paris
merchants who participated. Local
clothing and furnishing houses, deal
ers in mems furnishings, shoes, the
local milliners and ready-to-wear
houses are preparing displays for
this exhibit that will fairly astonish
the patrons and visitors with their
magnificence and beauty, as we'll as
the class displayed in the products.
Living models and manikinS will be
used for the purpose of showing these
displays, and other effects will be
used for the purpose of bringing to
the attention of the people the high
character of the displays.
Besides these displays a moving
picture play, = entitled, Clothes"
will be shown at The Grand, which
will be in itself a fashion show.
The film characters are taken by an
all-star cast. The event, altogether,

attended from Covington, twelve
from Falmouth and sixteen from
Far1s. These guests, with the Off
GERS and directors of the Business
MEMS Club, Fiscal Court and other
invited guests, were served lunch
con in the Northcott building by
the Harrison. County Women's Club.
after which a meeting was held nt
Roh's Opera House.
Judge George Batterton, Rris: e.
.. Sayers, Covington, and Judge r.
u. King, Harrison, addressed the
meeting. Sentiment showed that
the association did not expect that
the Dixie Highway should be brought
through Kenton, Pendleton, Harri-
son and Bourbon counties, but the
purpose of the organization is to
give to the travelling public a good
road from Cincinnati to Lexington
by this route.
Surveys showed that along Grassy
Greek in Pendleton county, a new
road of three miles must be made
to connect with the proposed Lick
ing Valley and Blue Grass route.
In order that sufficient funds might
be secured to build this strip of road
a committee composed of Harvey
Myers, Covington; Judge George
Batterton, Bourbon county; j. R.
Jones, Harrison county; E. B. Sayers
and Maurice Calvin, KentOn county,
was made to appear before the Cham
Der of Commerce, Automobile Club
Of Cincinnati, and Lexington Mems
Business Club, to ask assistance
from Pendleton county in this under
taking.

the benefit to all the people, and
hoped that this point would be
stressed. Judge Batterton suggested
that as Pendleton seemed in diff
Guilty about having enough money
to do her part in reconstruction this
year, it might be good idea to pre-
sent the matter to the BUSINESS men
and commercial organizations Of
Cincinnati and Lexington, with
view to securing their help and
arousing their interest. He pointed
out that those two cities were vital
ly concerned in a first-class road
through this section, and felt that
they would readily see the advant-
age.

troactive to January 1 will be in

DEPARTMENT SEEKS
BLANKET AUTHORITY
War Department Wants to Dispose Of
Government Property Without
Consulting Congress.
(Ry GEORGE Il. MANNINe)

Washington, Aug. 1S-The war de-
partment has asked congress for blan-
ket authority to dispose of any par
eel of land, such as an army post,
fortress, training camp, target range,
zone area camp, warehouse, ETC.,
whenever in the opinion of the Sec
rotary of war such property is no
longer needed for military purposes.
This power. If granted, would per-
NIT the secretary Of war, at his whim,
to move the troops away from Fort
Barrancas, near Pensacola, Camp Cor
don, Fort MACPHERSON, Camp BeD-
bing, Fort Oglethorpe, Camp Jessup,
Georgia, or any other war department
property, overnight and sell 1t at pri-
vate sale or public auction without
consulting the wishes Of congress or
giving the people of the states or the
nation any discretion in the matter or
recourse to law.
The request for special legislation
granting this unlimited and UMPIRE
cedented authority was directed by
Assistant Secretary Wainwright to
Representative Mckenzie of Illinois,
chairman of the sub committee of the
house military committee which for
six months has been conducting in
vestigations with a view to deterTnin-
ing what war department property
should be retained and what disposed
Of so that a bill can be passed giving
the department authority to sell the
tracts no longer needed.
Mr.. Mckenzie embodied the war de-
partment legislative draft in a bill,
house resolution S102 and introduced
lit in the house yesterday. It was re-
ferred to the house military committee
and came right back to Mckenzie, who
viii, with the other members of his
sub committee, act on it and report
it back fayorably to the house as
drawn by the war department or with
amendments.
A brief consultation with other mem
beers of the house quickly convinced
Mr.. Mckenzie that it will be impos-
sible to pass the bill as drawn by the
power-seeking war department, he ad-
mitted today, unless 1t is considerably
amended. Leaders of both the senate
and house grasped at the wide au-
fhority asked by the department when
it was instantly realized that with the
measure passed the general staff could
without consulting congress, vacate
without a moments notice any of the
long established coast defenses or in
land posts and dispose of the entire
property at private sale the next day
It would even permit the scrapping
