The Commercial Club committee
in charge of the "Good Fellowship
Tour" of Bourbon county has def
nitely decided on the date of Tues
day, July 10, when practically all
of the communities of the county will
be visited for the purpose of pro-
noting acquaintance between the
business and professional men IF
Paris, and the people of Bourbon
county. Boost Bourbon" has been
selected as the slogan, and will be
carried out on the badges and caps to
be worn by those on the trip, as well
as on the advertising matter to be
distributed. The slogan was sug-
gested by M. E. Gutman, chairman
of the advertising committee.
An organization has been perfect
ed for the trip. Rudolph Davis is
general chairman and parade mar
shall; Lawrence Price is chairman of
the committee on speakers and enter
tainment; M. e. Gutman, chairman
of the advertising committee; Clyde
Huffman, chairman of the attendance
committee, and Barnett Winters,
treasurer. Mr.. Huffman and his COM
mite will begin this week the en-
rollment of business and professional
men for the trip.
AS further proof that local people
are often too generous with their
money and especially so to persons
styling themselves as religious work.
ers, an investigation of the Holy Mis-
sion Bible Workers of Louisville,
shows this organization to be of
doubtful character. Solicitors were
in the city recently and presumably
collected considerable money. An in
vestigation was made by the Com
mercial Club, through the co-Opera-
ton of the Louisville Board of Trade,
the result leading to the belief that
the organization is not very deserving
of support. The Commercial Clubs
Sanction Committee is willing and
anxious to Investigate matters such
as these as protection to the public
and all persons are urged to send So
licitors about whom there may be
some doubt to the office for investi-
cation. 1t is now the open season for
unauthorized, would-be welfare work
erS.
Enrolment blanks for the Citizens
Military Training Camp, to be con-
Quoted at Camp Knox, KY, will be re-
ceived at the Commercial Club office
within the next day or two and any
desiring to attend or to get informa
ton in regard to the trip will be &C
commodated. Several young men have
already decided to attend. The gov
eminent is Offering a four-week5'
course OF training and will pay all eX-
penses, including railroad fare to and
from the camp.

THE TARIFF BILL DELAY

1t begins to look as if the Ameri-
can wool growers, who can now clip
enough wool off fifty sheep to buy a
suit of 'fshoddy" clothes, will have
to wait for any expected relief from
a new tariff schedule. The tariff was
the one definite policy of the present
administration, but even this has
struck a snag by reason of the re-
ported row over the wool schedule.
A tentative schedule (K) was drawn
up by subcommittee headed by the
grand panjamdrum of high tariff,
Chairman Fordney, which only re-
suited in a disagreement, and the
United States Tariff Commission has
been asked to draw UP that schedule
for the tariff bill. This, it is said,
will take from three to six weeks,
with the certainty of a long debate
when the bill is framed.

RACE SUICIDE At

Practiced on Vast Scale, He Says,
by Graduates v. s. Agent

DES MONIES, Iowa-Race suicide
is being practiced on a vast scale by
American college graduates. Maurice

clared in an address to the depart
ment of secondary education at the

years indicates that the progeny Of
1000 graduates from such institutions
as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Vassal
and Smith will not exceed so in 10(
years from now"
A similar investigation conducted
among illiterate foreigners, he said
showed that in a like period the orig
inal 1000 will be multiplied at least
100 times.
The ratio, therefore, will be, he
said, so men and women descended
from educated parents to 100000 in

This condition, he said, is premedi
tated, college graduates Sinking the
responsibility of children.
He urged that sex matters be

PRESIDENT ASKS 4 NATIONS
II Proposal Meets Favor He Will Issue
Formal invitations-Part Of Big
Prooram-Agreement on Re-
duced Army and Navy.

WASHINGTON Harding
has taken definite steps looking to a
conference in Washington of the prin.
cipal allied and associated powers to
discuss limitation of armament and
Pacific and far eastern problems.
This announcement was made by
the state department by direction OF
the president, in the following state.
ment:
The statement said:
The president, in view of the far.
reaching importance Of the question
Of limitation of ornaments, has ap.
preached in informal, but definite, in.
quiry the group Of powers heretofore
known as the principal allied and as.
ISOLATED powers, that is, Great Britain
France. Italy and Japan, to ascertain
whether 1t would be agreeable to them
to take part in a conference on this
subject to be held in Washington at q
time to be mutually agreed upon. II
the proposal is found to be acceptable
formal invitations for such a confer.
ence will be issued.
Include Far East.
1T is manifest that the question OF
limitation of ornaments has a close
relation to Pacific and far eastern
problems, and the president has sug.
gested that the powers especially in.
terested in these problems should un.
dertake. in connection with this con.
ference, the consideration Of all mat.
ters bearing upon their solution, with
a view to reaching a common under.
standing with respect to principles
and policy in the far east. This has
been communicated to the powers
concerned and China has also been
invited to take part in the discussion
relating to far eastern problems
Surprise in Washington.
The departments statement was
made public without comment and
the fact that the president had sug
gested to the interested nations q
joint discussion of the far eastern and
Pacific problems came as something OF
surprise in Washington.
