Paris has signed up new pitcher
Parsons, of Cincinnati, who arrived
yesterday to take part in the game
Tomorrow, Paris VS.. Cynthiana.
This is one of the games that was
postponed from one of the "rainy
days" scheduled at an earlier date.
The Mammoths and the Cynthi-
ana teams will tie up at League
Park Sunday afternoon. The con-
test will be well worth seeing, as
both teams are going strong. Ri
valry between Paris and Cynthiana
in the line of outdoor sports has al
ways been at high heat, and both
teams will make an earnest en-
deavor to fatten their averages and
improve their standing in Sundays
contest.
The next game in the Church

afternoon, at $3.50 o'clock, on Han

NOW FOR VACATION DAYS

With the month of June begins
the annual vacation time. During
this month the schools close for the
annual vacation and sometimes be
tween now and September most peo-
pie who work, usually have a vaca-
ton from their tolls. Even to those
who can take no regular vacation
the long days that come at this
time of year, offer an opportunity to
get out of doors for a few hours
each day.
This vacation season is time that
should not be wasted. Everyone
young or old who possibly can,
should spend as much time as pos
sible in the open. Mental and bod
lily health require it. 1t is natures
medicine At this time of year the
pack should be turned against the
turmoil and complexities of the rou-
tine of everyday life. Forget for a
time the littleness of daily existence
by turning to the great truth-the
truth of nature
THE NEWS feels that every boy
owes it to himself to get out into
the great out Of doors as much as
possible this summer. Let the twi-
light song of the wood thrush take
the place of the Jazz orchestra, and
let the ever-changing scenery of the
lake and hill,- take the place of the
movies. For the works of nature
are true and genuine, while those of
man are counterfeit and false. Get
out into the open country and lead
the simple life. 1t is good for the
body and soul.

July Fourth, and the scene of the
festivities will again be the beauti-
full woodland of Forrest Letton. on

in the morning, headed by a brass
band, in which various local mer-
chants will enter decorated floats.

artistic and elaborate. entries. The
grounds will resemble mammoth
carnival with it's numerous amuse-
ments, and program of field events
is being arranged, in which not only
Paris, but neighboring towns will be
invited to participate. A large dane
ing pavilion will be erected, and an
orchestra will furnish music.
The traction company has prom
lsed hearty cooperation in provid-
ing special cars to be run on a half
hour schedule between Paris and the
picnic grounds. The committee in
charge have succeeded in booking
an amusement feature entirely new
to Paris and Central Kentucky
towns, the nature of which will be
kept secret until the big day. 1t
alone will amply repay one for a
trip to the grounds. In addition a
speaker of nationwide prominence
has promised to deliver an address.

The fire department was summon
ed by telephone Wednesday after
noon, to the vicinity of the First
National Bank, where an automobile
belonging to w. S. Haggard was on
fire. 1t was thought someone had
tossed a cigar butt or a cigarette
end on the top of the machine which
was in flames when the alarm was
sent in. A large portion of the top
and back of the machine was burned
before the flames were extinguished
with chemicals by members of the

MAKING THE STREETS SAFE

Chief of Police Tonnesen ought TO have the backing
of every citizen in his effort to stop automobile speeding
in this city. The chief has found it necessary to act be-
cause of the numerous accidents that have occurred within
the past few weeks. The orders he has given to his men, II
strictly obeyed, will accomplish much in making the streets
: safe, but there must be cooperation on the part of the people
ii real results are to be obtained.
There is no excuse for automobile racing through the
streets of a city at the rate Of twenty-five or thirty miles all
hour. Time is not so valuable but what a few minutes more
may be allowed in getting to a place.. Those few minutes
may mean the life of some child or the driver OF the auto
mobile himself. A little less speed and a little more safety
Is the greatest need as far as street traffic is concerned.
Parents, while exerting every effort to keep their children
out Of the middle of the street, should also report to the
police the number of any automobile seen speeding past
the house. If the parents in the various neghborhoods
would band together to conduct such a campaign against
auto speeders they would be able to put an end to the prac-
tice in short order.
Some of the worst offenders in the matter of speeding
are the drivers of delivery cars in the employ of local
merchants. These chaulfeurs become so accustomed to
driving and feel so sure of themselves that they speed with
sout realizing the danger of it. But there is not a merchant
in the city who would contenance this fast driving if he
knew it. These merchants would welcome being informed
Of any speeding on the part of their employees. Besides
notifying the police, therefore, or even before the police
sare notified, parents should call up the merchant whose car
lis seen speeding past the house and inform him OF the fact.
II the practice is continued the merchant might be told that
stt lis delivery car is going to continue a menace to the
neighborhood it will be necessary to stop doing business
with him. A few mothers standing together in a move like
this could accomplish a great deal. 1t is not a pleasant
thing to do, but for the sake of the safety of the children
it is something that ought to be done.
AT the same time, the police under the direction of
Chief Tonnesen can do much. A policeman does not have
to be assigned to traffic duty to go after the speeders. The
number of the car is all that is necessary and a note to the
owner from the chief or the automobile Inspector will do
the rest. Chief Tonnesen is to be commended for The ac-
ton he has taken on this matter. I

FOUR OR FIVE a C

When it Games to a choice between four or five tracks
across the foot of Washington street for the accommodate
ton of the industries in that section of the city, it matters
little. The end of the street is useless as far as the public
is concerned. The opportunity for municipal development
there has been lost. If, therefore, with proper restrictions,
the end of the street can be used to help develop tn in
dustries thereby improving business and creating more en-
ployment for more citizens of the city, it ought to be done.
The Perth Amboy Dry Dock Company is too big a con-
Germ and means too much to the city in the way of bringing
business here to be hampered in its effort to increase its
capacity. To refuse this industry its request for adequate
railroad facilities and, at the same time, have the end of
The street remain useless would be a the manager
policy,
AT the same time, the Roessler & Iasslacher Chemi-
cal Company is entitled to every consideration. This is one
of the biggest concerns of its kind in the country. 1t is in a
position to increase its business greatly once conditions i'm
prove, provided it has adequate railroad facilities. In these
days Of sharp competition this means a great deal. What
ever The city can do, therefore, to help these industries. get
back on full time will help the city generally. Four tracks
or five tracks, it will make no difference as far as the public
is concerned. The usefulness of the end of the street from
the public's point of view is nil. Whatever now is best
for the industries located there is the best for all. The
aldermen should hesitate no longer.

GIVE FIRST STREET THE PREFERENCE.

BY including First street among those streets to be
paved this year the aldermen are doing the only fair thing.
The property owners on that thoroughfare have been asking
for a pavement for a long time. They are ahead of any of
the other petitioners as far as priority in making the applica-
ton is concerned. Tho street is the last strictly residential
street OF any size in the southern end of the city to remained
unpaved. If any paving is to be done in the first ward this
year therefore, First street certainly ought TO be the first
improved.
The aldermen have already taken steps to pave several
short streets in the first ward. The finishing up of these
few blocks is highly desirable, ~ If there has get to be a
choice apd some paving omitted this year, First street with
its large number of property owners OUGHT to be given the
preference. With First street paved every residential street.
from Smith street southwark TO the river and east of the
railroad will be in first class condition.

Your news items and editorials on
this Annexation Bill have been
rather misleading, but I am glad to
see you have consulted the Bible and
at last seen the light" 1 refer
