MUST MAIL LETTERS IN BOXES
OR OFFICE

Postmaster J. Walter Payne has
been advised in an official communi-
cation from the Postoffice Depart
ment of a new ruling recently issu-
ed. This ruling is to the effect that
all letters must be deposited in the
boxes on the streets or in the post
office, and will no longer be accept
ed at the trains.
This ruling was found necessary
because the mail clerks on many oc-
-----.~..- more mail to work be-
tween stations than was placed il
the regular mail sacks, and the
routing, of this mail and the handfe
ing Of the regular mail was more
than one man could do. This will
work a hardship in many instances
when an important letter will have
to wait over for several hours,
when heretofore a perso n
could take rush mail to the trains
too late to get into the sack at the
postoffice, which is sent to the train
some time before it's arrival.

Not many colleges have followed
the example Of the University Of Chi
sage In maintaining an all-year plan,
with the summer session as the
fourth quarter, but there is no ques-
ton that the summer school of six
weeks or more has become an estab-
lished inatitution.
OF the $50 colleges and univer-
stiles on the official government list,
474 had summer sessions this year,
and the attendance, a half million OF
more, will probably exceed that OF
the colleges and universities In the

There is now literally not a week

BOURBON FARM CONDITIONS

Tobacco stripping has again taken
the center of the stage in Bourbon
county. The rains of last week had
put the weed in good case" and al
a result, most of the stripping rooms
were busy this week, even if no more
damp weather comes. While Bour-
bon county has raised only about
seventy-five per cent. of the acreage
OF tobacco this year which was rails
ed the preceding year, it is predict
ed there will be about the same num-
Der OF pounds, owing to the superb
-ority OF the grades raised this year
over those of last.
Some hemp breaking is reported as
going on in parts of the county, al
though there has been very few
acres Of this crop raised around
Paris in the past few years. Grain
fields are In the best condition, and
there is an unusually good stand of
wheat and oats. Country produce
still brings good prices on the Paris
market. Hay is selling for SIT to
SIS ton.

The Chinook Jaruon.

The Chinook jargOn, the prevalent
means OF communication in pioneer
days between traders Of all nations
and-th Indians, is still heard in the
northwest when old settlers meet in
reunion or at pioneer picnics. The Jar.
gon Is said to date back to the early
part Of the Eighteenth century when
English and Spanish navigators adopt
ed certain vowels and consonants to
convey their meaning to the Indians.
The dialect grew in the course of the
years. until finally words were evolved
to express almost every idea that
might occur.
