How To Keep Your Money And
Make Id Earn More

"Buy only what you know" is the
advice given to prospective investors
in securities by Herbert n. Casson in
Forbes Magazine IN. W at is a
curious fact" says the writer, "that
almost every business man buys rub
bish when he begins TO invest his
money. Invariably, he buys shares in
a business that he knows nothing
about. That accounts for the inn
mense sales Of mining and oil stocks.
"A beginner in the world of finance
wants big profits. He scorns 6 or Z
per cent. He wants Is per cent. He
mas heard of 20 per cent. He wants
perfection. Therefore, as perfection
is never to be had at home, he in
vests his money in properties that
are thousands of miles away.
''In all cases, wherever you can
buy an interest in business that is
near by. Invest in your own town.
Buy what you can see.
Far off fields look green, but they
are not half so green as you are, if
you invest your good money in them.
"if there is not property nearby
that you can put your money in, then
buy the securities of those we'll
known firms that have been carrying
on for thirty years or longer.
"But always invest in a business
that you know all about, if possible.
The trade that you know is the one
that you are least likely to get fooled
in.
"The point is that you mustn't be a
greenhom when you invest. You
mus. not be credulous.
"All ignorance is dangerous, but
most of all in finance. If you stick to
what you know, you are likely to
stick to your money"

FOOT BALL SEASON OPENS

- The first game of the 1922 foot
ball season in Paris was played Fri
day afternoon on Hancock Field be-
tween the Paris High School and
Carlisle High School teams. In the
first quarter Paris received the ball
and scored the first touchdown in
eight minutes. The ball was ad-
vanced by hard line plunges and
was finally carried over the line by
fullback Taylor. Soon after the
start of the second quarter Deacon,
the fast little halfback, made a
pretty broken field run of twenty
wards for the second and last touch
down of the game.
Both attempts at the goal failed,
leaving the score Paris II, Carlisle
0. The half ended with the ball in
midfeld. The second half started
with Carlisle receiving the punt and
it seemed as if they would rush the
Paris boys off their feet, but they
were stopped whiting striking dis
lance of the goal. Paris punted the
ball back up the field and kept 1t
there the remainder of the game.
The game was witnessed by large
crowd of enthusiastic fans. Officials
of the game were: Nash, George
town, referee, Arnsparger, Center
umpire; Thomas, Kentucky, head
linesman.
Prospects are that Paris is start
ing on it's greatest football year.
The new athletic field given over to
the school by A. B. Hancock has the
appearance Of real college turf
Three hundred and sixty students
have already joined the High School
Athletic Association for the year
and others are coming in. Nine let
ter men of last year are back on the
squad with twenty-five new ones out
for practice daily. Jimmie Deacons
of Eminence, new man on the
squad this year, is one of the best
recruits Paris has had for years. In
Clay Ward the P H. S. has one OF
the best high school coaches in the
State. For three years ne was
tackle or end on the University OF
Virginia team, and in 1917 he was
captain of the team.

DID YOU SEE "THE FIERY
CROSS

The appearance on the horizon
OF large fiery cross, standing high
above the surrounding sky line, in
East Paris, about nine o'clock, Sat-
urday night, gave rise to considera-
BILE speculation, and wonderment to
those whose attention was attracted
by the unsual sight. Preceding the
appearance of the cross several loud
reports, as of dynamite explosions,
were heard from the same vicinity,
causing the timid to wonder what
was going on. Some overanxious
person sent in a fire alarm calling
the fire department to the scene,
but it developed their services were
not needed. There was a rush to
the scene, but when those who got
there found out what was going on
they beat hasty retreat.
1t developed that the appearance
of the fiery cross was the unique
method taken by the Knights of the
Ku-Klux Khan to announce to the
people of Paris their organization
here. 1t is said that "The Invisible
Empire" already has an organiza-
ton in this county with a member
ship of several hundred. No one in
the large crowd that went to East
Paris could reveal any knowledge of
what had been going on, but all
were content to return, some hurri-
eddy, one gentleman losing his hat
and fine cigar in his hurry.
The blazing cross, thirty feet in
height, occupied a prominent posi-
ton on a bluff on the Marsh farm,
and could be seen for long dis
lance. The cross presented a bril-
liant and awe-inspring sight, as
viewed from Main street, and was
seen by hundreds Of people. In the
vicinity of the cross residents who
had been attracted by the sight and
by the explosions, thought the dyna-
mite house belonging to the county
had exploded, and were in terror un-
til they learned the cause.
