ON i A nervy young fellow succeeded several days ago in getting the better of a number of punch boards that are in operation around Paris. The voung fellow played a smooth with the result that he has, nr naa, avu.vuuv.v i nnmanrnoro iri nia SUUlcWUCJC good clothes the sum of or more, which he reaped as his share of the The man's scheme worked to perfection.

He would saunter into one of the soft drink stands where the punch boards were operated, stand around a while, then casually take a punch at the board. The numbers lie secured were kept in his possession whether they won or not. In this way he managed to secure a large assortment of numbers. He would then the number on the top of the board that denoted the fciggest prize, which in some instances, amounted to as high as $50.00. He would leave the place, then return shortly afterward, and take several more punches at the board.

This time the number drawing the capital prize would come out. The young fellow secured the money and departed, leaving the printed number behind him. A close inspection developed the fact that he had cunningly and skillfully pasted a series of numbers together until they corresponded to the number calling for the big prize. This program was carried out at a number of places, and as yet, the proprietors haven't succeeded in "getting the young fcnan's number" as cleverly as he did theirs. 3ED CROSS MEETING AT COURT HOUSE.

LADIES' OUTFITTERS FALL SHOWING OF COATS SUITS DRESSES SKIRTS WAISTS FRANK CO. LADIES' Automobile Delivery SET YOUB, TIMEPIECES HOTJE SLOW SUNDAY NIGHT At exactly midnight next Sunday, October 26, there will be a change of time that will for a while be somewhat confusing, but to which we will all get accustomed in a short while. The clocks and watches will have to be set back an hour at that time, or before, order to make certain that you are right up to date with your timepieces. It has been stated that the best way is to set all timepieces back an hour on Saturday night before retiring, so that you will be sure to have the right time the next day.

While the change in time will not suit everyone, it will be a Godsend to the fellow who likes to take an ad-diional nap before he rises to begin the daily grind. It will give him an hour more, but, on the other hand, will make him more trouble at the other end of the day. Altogether, the time as it has- been under the daylight saving regulation, would be far more acceptable to most of us. Don't get in a "jam" Monday morning by neglecting to set your watch or clock back an hour on Saturday night or on Sunday morning. This is most important, and will be the means of saving a great deal of AT THE PARIS GRAND AND THE ALAMO THEATRE.

DAVIS OUTFITTERS SENATOR BECKHAM SPEAKS TO A LARGE AUDIENCE A heavy fall of rain failed to keep) the Democrats of Bourbon county from hearing United Spates Senator J.

C. W. Beckham, who spoke at the court house in this city, Tuesday afternoon. Senator Beckham was introduced by Judge Denis Dundon, and spoke for about an hour and a half. His address aroused -his audience to frequent bursts of enthusiasm.

He eulogized President Wilson and. said his wonderful achievements for the benefit and betterment of mankind had placed him in the front ranks of the' great men of history. Democraticf success this fall would show the President that his sacrifice of health had not been made in vain, he declared. The address throughout was devoid of abuse. The Senator compar-f ed the past records of the two candi-.

dates for Governor, as' well as that of the two parties, and said' that should be a sufficient guide tO( every good citizen as to how he' should cast his vote at the election in November. He said that the two last legislative sessions in Kentucky under the administration of former Governor Stanley, had performed more constructive legislation than had been done under Republican rule for many years. He discussed the Federal reserve system aside trom tne war legislation, as one oil 4-Yia imncf iTYitinrtQiit nionoc rf tion performed by the Democrats. Senator Beckham was followed by Congressman Allen Barkley, of Pa-ducah, who' spoke for only a few moments. He denounced the practices of the Republicans in their efforts to discredit President Wilson, and was roundly cheered during the course of his remarks.

"COME ALONG" TO THE GRAND TUESDAY NIGHT. Tuesday, October 28, is the date that "Come Along" will be seen at the Grand Opera House, and coming as it does, direct from the Nora Bayes Theatre, New York, local audiences will witness one of the up-to-date snappy girl shows that that has had the approval of the first city of the land. One of the prime features of the production that will be presented by a company of 35 people is the likeable and handsome chorus-and it is safe to predict that Paris has seen no prettier girls nor better dancers than these clever choristers. It's like being on Broadway and viewimr the latest and niftiest in everything that is attractive' frontyjaceLved from every In Ken feminine standpoint to see the cos tumes worn by the "Come Along chorus, and not the least attractive feature of the show is the ability to display these same costumes, which means that figures as well as pretty faces are one of he principal assets of this merry musical show. Bide Dudley, of New York World is the author of the clever lines of the show and the tunes are the sort that linger in the memory, making a pleasing combination that places 'this musical comedy in the front rank of likeable shows.

The seat sale will open Saturday at box office, and those who like high-class entertainment, catchy music and clean, wholesome comedy with settings that are colorful and pleasing, should see "Come Along."

The speaking liad been scheduled Centerville, but was changed. MAKES STRANGE DISCOVERY EOR A DRY COMMUNITY. Strange things are continually happening, and the old saying that "truth is stronger than fiction" has again been demonstrated. This time the scene is laid in the rear of Mr. John Merringer's property on Main street, where laborers made a rich strike, while digging a foundation for a garage to be erected there.

While engaged in this work a shovel wielded by one of the men, who had been throwing out dirt and a thick layer of ashes from the excavation, struck something that gave forth, an unusual sound. Everybody stopped work at the yell of astonishment that went up from the laborer when he uncovered a pint bottle of bottled in bond whiskey that had from the appearance of the receptacle been buried there for "many years. No one could account for its being in that locality, at least remaining there undiscovered so long, but the most plausible explanation was given by a newspaper (man, who happened to be around shortly after. The property next to the Merringer place, now occupied by Albert Anthon as a butcher shop, was owned at least thirty years ago by Mike Carmody, and used by him as a saloon. It was the belief that the bottle of wet goods had been hidden in the ash pile by one of his customers and forgotten.

The bottle was donated to the Massie Memorial Hospital to be added to the store of remedies at that institution. Since the discovery Mr. Merringer has been swamped by offers of free labor by parties who are perhaps of the opinion that there may yet be in the vicinity a treasure trove of bottles of the same kind of booze. His greatest trouble has been to keep them from digging up the whole place. SHRINERS BIG AUTO AND STYLE SHOW.

The Shriners' Festival, Auto, Style and Tobacco Show, to be held in the new Phoenix Garage, Nov. 4 to 8, is being more extensively advertised than anything of the kind which has ever been held in Lexington. Roger Nichols is in charge of advertising and no section of the central part of the State is being neglected. Slides are being displayed in thirty-six motion picture shows and newspaper space and posters are being used extensive. The tobacco show promises to be one of the big features of the ex hibit.

JSntries have already been re- tucky where tobacco is grown and. some fine specimens of the plant should be on display. The prizes offered in the various tobacco classes are said to be the largest ever offered in a tobacco competition. Decoration of the building has already been contracted for and this feature of the preparations alone will amount to several hundred dollars. The Shriners' band of Covington has been secured to play each day during the show.

In addition to the1 concerts there will be vaudeville and dancing daily and exhibitions of fall fashions on living models, both men and women, from Chicago and New York. ICE PLANT CLOSES FOR PRESENT SEASON. The Paris Ice Manufacturing Co. closed its plant for the present season Tuesday night, after a successful run. Mr.

J. B. Graziani, who has been associated with Mr. Phil Nip-pert, in conducting the affairs of the plant, has returned to Covington to reside until the opening of next season. Mr.

Graziani's return to Paris is always regarded as a sure sign of the return of Spring, as surely as the come back. Mr. Nippert stated yesterday that in spite of the handicaps he worked under, the past season had been a successful one, and that the management had done everything in their power to keep the people of Paris supplied with ice. Improvements are contemplated for next season that will place the plant in the forefront of local enterprises, and enable it to keep up with any demand made upon its facilities. ANNUAL CONVENTION OE KEN TUCKY WAR MOTHERS.

34, Uniform Knights of Pythias, was held Wednesday night with a full attendance. Capt. Wm. W. Dudley put "the soldiers" through the drill.

One candidate, Mr. J. B. Peterson, of near Millersburg, was given the initiatory' degree. I PREDICTS BIG DEMAND IX)R TOBACCO LAND.

With the opening of the loose leaf tobacco market in this city in December, a greater demand for farm lands with unprecedented sales at high prices is predicted by Paris real estate men, who believe the sales of fanui lands will increase throughout the year, since the demand, especially for small tracts, is very heavy. Kentucky and other tobacco-growing States in the nation will produce more tobacco in the coming year because of the lessened production in the European countries since the world war, and internal troubles. Russia, Turkey and Mexico, all producing a large amount of tobacco annually, will yield nothing like their normal production. Bourbon county dealers believe the demand for farm lands in both large and small tracts will be very materially increased soon. These views meet the approval of tobacco growers and tenants, who have been approached on the subject.

When the annual "cropping" time comes around there will be much speculation as to "how many acres this time?" MISS GLASS TO WED IN WASHINGTON, NOV, 1. An important Washington social event will occur on Nov. 1, when Mary Archer Glass, daughter of Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Glass, is married to John Guerrant Boatwright.

Alerady the social calendar is filled with parties in her honor. CORN AND TOBACCO DAMAGED.

(augl5-tf) WE KNOW HOW We Honestly Believe that We are Rendering a Service to the Men of Paris in Recommending and Selling STBIN-BLOCH SMART CLOTHES True economy does not consist of buying articles because they are low priced. Frequently the purchase of a low priced suit may prove to be the greatest extravagance.

The measure ot economy is to be found in the measure of value. There are are no clothes made where the measure of value is greater than in STEIN-BLOCH SMART CLOTHES where you will find such a complete and satisfying combination of tailoring, style, high quality of material, and all other factors that enter into genuine worth. We know, from our long experience in the clothing business, that we could offer you no better clothes at at any price. No better are made. And it is a great source of satisfaction to us to be able to offer such clothes at prices you would ordinarily expect to pay for clothes of inferior quality.

M. C. A. Board of Directors last night Mr. W.

O. Hinton was elected general chairman for the comims financial campaign. Mr. Jim Caldwell and B. Hancock were elect-ed as generals of the two eampaigm "armies." Bourbon county is participating' in the State campaign, which is part of the larger South-wide cam- paign, including eleven States, andT embraces causes for which the As sociation servesr including the later-national Committee of the Y.

M- C. A. home and foreign work, training of secretaries at Chicago and Nashville, for the permanent equipment at Camp Daniel which is so popular with BourboM county people, for the work of thetv Kentucky State Committee and for the maintanance of the Bourbon county work for the next year. Tfag amount totals between andTtH $10,000. The local association has never had a larger program of work un- der way than at present and has never reached a larger number of people than at present while the State work is perhaps in the best shape it has ever been in, and per- haps better than that of any other State.

The date for the beginning of the campaign will be set by Mlq general at the next meeting. $41,400 POR CO-OPERATDTG Kentucky farmers this year sold 332,000 pounds of wool througk farmers' pools. Such pools were organized in twenty counties. These farmers received 12 cents a pound more for their wool than they would, have received had they marketed individually. In other words, they were paid $41,500 for organizing these little associations to their wool.

That is how co-operatiYSr marketing pays. Yet, some farmers: still say that "there's nothin' to it. or that "farmers won't Stick together." It is awfully hard for some, folks to get a new idea, or to gire up an old one, even when the old one has proven all wrong. GOV. COX TO SPEAK IN STATE CAMPAIGN.
