""Our readers will pardon us if we give our opinion of the stingy man. We are glad that Paris has only a few of the kind, but they can be found in all towns. If there is any thing on earth that gives us a long- ing for eternal rest and deep, damp - solitude it is for a man to come to ' town or a county, build up a big pay ing business, grow rich, then squat 3owa on the gold like an old hen on -3, 3mnch of eggs. He is too stingy ven to let the gravel grind in his own gizzard. A real, genuine, eighteen-carat, stingy, selfish man must have a hard . -time trying to be honest, and if he VT gets to Heaven and has wings, iio'wwai fold them up and walk around Softesr 3ie will ruffle one of the plumes or lose a tail feather. The -ftrind of men who build up a town and taoanty :&nd enjoy life and make the Tjest citizens, are the enterprising, --energetic and liberal men, who be lieve in living and in letting others .Jive. They do not when they get a 3ollar squeeze it until the Goddess of Liberty feels as if she had on a cor vset Such squeezing is what causes liard times- and. stops the circulation .'Cfftfee American eagle. If it were not V- or,otfr-i'oad-guaged, enterprising ip-2nen it would be impossible to build trp -prosperous 'city. f ' IS P'rTalring The Joy Out of life. An unpleasant mid-summer re ;miiider of the cold days to come is -sEhe warning of the Fuel Administra tor that a plan for the rationing of '-&&! to householders in under con- deration. Under this plan each - -domestic consumer will be allotted a certain amount of coal, in accord- .-Aiet-with his necessities, but based strictly on scientific conclusions as o the amount absolutely necessary, - rtthout, avoidable waste, to maintain Jieat at sixty-eight" degrees. The roal wasters and the families who Insist on running the tempera ture of their living rooms up to ' eighty degrees or higher, will come "out at "the little end of the horn" toward the latter part of the winter, if it is as severe as last winter. It therefore behooves every household msing coal as a fuel to get the stoves and furnaces in shape to burn, not - waatej'fuel, and to make up his mind -to-the strictest economy, if he is to set 'through the winter without seri jous" differences with the coal dictator. Speaking of Nerves. "Ja Von Bernhardt some years cgO, in his work entitled "Germany nL The Next War," predicted that the Kaiser would win because the Cermans had stronger nerves than "th Allies. But the nerves of men prow weak when their food supplies -art lessened. A dinnerless and sup--prlee pan loses the "sand in his "-crawl and the food riots in Germany art said to be growing in size every day. "It may be truthfully said ttiat labor ,-tn Germany and Austria has grown eick of the war, while in the Allied countries, as in the United States, it, & .growing more anil 'more whole- hearted and is demanding that the fighting shall continueuntil complete victory! over the Kaiser shall be ob tained. And recent victories of the AUjes, especially the wonderful stand made by the Americans in the new German drive, have let the Ger mens know what "our boys" are over there for. Pride or Caution. Was it because you feared you might get hurt or because you want ed by-standers to smile approval at your wise caution that you shook your head, turned around and re turned to the street corner instead of trying to cross he street in front of one of those fast-approaching auto mobiles? Whatever your (motive may have been you probably saved your life by your action. There are times in life when it is better to act with common sense than to stop to analyze motives. Automobiles on Main street in this city have a contrary habit of coming right on no matter if it is known that you want to cross to the other side of the street. Stop, look, listen safety first! Has Anybody Seen Bryan? An erstwhile popular song asked in its refrain, "Has Anybody Seen Kelley?" It might now with propri ety be revived, with the query, "Has Anbody Here Seen Bryan?" We do not remember to have seen his name in the public prints for a coon's age, and even the Chautauquas have ceas ed to exploit him. A pacifist seems without honor in any country and Mr. Bryan having been tried at a critical time and found wanting there is no more help in him. The man who was once the pride of millions of Democrats seems to have been dropped from memory to work out his future in sackcloth and ashes. As a general thing a pacifist won't do to trust, no matter how much he protests his loyalty. The Hooverized Home. Here's a practical view of a typi cal Hooverized home in Paris, as told in verse to THE NEWS by a lady: "We're eating rye bread at our house, With cornbread on the side; We've cornjmeal mush at breakfast time, At noon we have it fried. We eat no wheat, we eat no meat, And soon we'll form the habit Of eating carrots every day Just like a little rabbit!" Ba ra isi BRITISH AIRMEN BRING DOWN 3,856 HUN PLANES. LONDON, July 18. In one year on the British western front the Royal Air Force has accounted for 3,238 enemy airplanes. In the same period the naval airmen shot down 623, a total of 3,856. An official statement dealing with these opera tions says: "The Royal Air Force during the year beginning July 1, 1917, on the British western front destroyed 2,150 hostile machines and drove down out of control 1,083. In the same-period the air force units work ing in conjunction with the navy shot down 623 hostile machines. "During this period 1,094 of our machines were missing; ninety-two of these were working with the navy. "On the Italian front from April to June, 1918, the British destroyed 165 hostile machines and drove down six out of control. Thirteen of ours were missing. "On the Saloniki front between January and June twenty-one hostile machines were destroyed and thir teen were driven down out of control. Four of ours were lost. "From March to June in Egypt and Palestine twenty-one hostile air planes were destroyed and fifteen were driven down out of control. Ten of ours were missing. "In all the theaters of the war the British air superiority and strength progressed rapidly and con tinuously. From this it is safe to assume. that when the new factor of America's output, both aircraft and personnel, enters the situation in the fighting zones, the aerial ascendency of the Allies should give them very great advantages." FORTY THOUSAND MEN NEEDED FOR NAVY. Forty thousand more men are needed at once for the navy, accord ing to the United States Navy Re cruiting Station, 412 South Fourth street, Louisville. The Naval Appro priation bill just passed- by Congress makes provision for this increase. Kentucky has been asked to furnish 2,000 of this number, and it is ex pected that this quota will be raised during the month of July. Nearly all ratings in the navy are now open for enlistment with excellent oppor tunities for both skilled and unskill ed men. "Furloughs to help with the crops are being granted, boys at the Naval Training Station at Great Lakes," said Lieut. J. H. Teach, recruiting officer for Kentucky. "This should prove to be of help to farmer boys who can enlist and go to the Great Lakes, and then get a "furlough for farm purposes. ' Kentucky has re sponded well to previous calls, and I feel sure we will break all records this time, too." Navy Recrjuiting Stations are lo cated at Ashland, Covington, Lex ington, Owensboro, Paducah and Bowling .Green,, in addition to the main office at Louisville.

Mr. William Burroughs, aged seventy-six, for many years a promi nent and prosperous farmer of this vicinity, died at 8:45 yesterday morning at the family home in this city, after an illness of two years, due to the infirmities of age. During his long illness Mr. Burroughs had borne up with a fortitude unusual for one of advanced age, but the strain on his vitality, was too great to endure pinch longer. Mr. Burroughs was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Bur roughs, pioneer resident of Nicholas county. Leaving his parental roof at at early age he engaged in farming m this neighborhood, and by cfint of economy and thrift accumulated suffi cient funds to purchase a farm for himself. His death occurred within sight of the old house in which he was born and passed his younger, days. Early in life he was married to "Miss Mary Parker. By this un ion six children were borir, five sons, G. S. Burroughs, of New Al bany, Ind., James, Charles, John and Jesse Burroughs, all of Millersburg, the latter being in the service of the United States at an army canton ment somewhere in Illinois, and one daughter, Miss Frances Burroughs, of this city. Mr. Burroughs early in life be came identified with the Christian church, in which he became a dea con in the congregation, and at the time of his death being an elder. He was a member of the Board of Direc- tors of the Hurst Home Insurance Co., and was a solid, substantial cit izen in every respect. Besides the children named above he is survived by two brothers, Dr. Henry Clay Burroughs and Mr. K. D. Burroughs, both of this place, and four sisters, Mrs. J. W. Dalzell, of Kansas, Mrs. Wm. Norton, of Carlisle, Mrs. J. C. Ringo, of Mexico, Mo., and and Miss Nancy Burroughs, of this city. The funeral arrangements had' not been completed yesterday, pendTng the receipt of news from Mr. Jesse Burroughs, his son, who is in the army service. The funeral will be conducted from the home, however, with services held by the pastor of his church, Rev. C. O. Cossaboom. The interment will follow in the Millersburg Cemetery. The Millersburg Chautauqua was continued Sunday evening with Miss Pearl O'Neil, Canadian reader, in the prelude', followed by Capt. Richard P. Hobson in a lecture en titled "America and The World War." The lecture was long and of consider able depth. He is not as fluent a speaker as some we have heard. Monday afternoon Vierra's Royal Hawaiians gave a full concert in the afternoon of Hawaiian music, and a brief description of the Islands were also given by Mr. Vierra. Their music is somewhat peculiar but sweet. It was enjoyed by all who heard them and they were the recip iants of many encores. In the even ing the Hawaiians gave a prelude, followed by Bob Seeds in his humor ous lecture, "The Way It Looks From the Road." To meet Mr. Seeds you would take him for most anything rather than a platform man, but when he appears before you you are soon satisfied that he is on his job. His lecture is full of humor and phi losophy. Notwithstanding the fact that he has an impediment of speech he keeps you laughing from first to last. And at the same time he is al ways giving you something to think about and carrying away with you. The program of Tuesday admitted of music variety. In the afternoon we were entertained by DeJeu, magi cian, who was clever in all his tricks, exposing many of them, and DeVito, piano-accordionist, the king of the accordion. His instrument was es pecially made for him, and he is able to play on it in any key the music might call for. He is certainly an artist in his line and gave us samples of all grades of music from the smplest ragtime to the most classical. Dr. Roland Nichols gave an interest ing lecture entitled, "'The Way Of Jthe War." It was in every respect good, and one that every mother, wife, sis teifand sweethWt should hear. He' waat notonfbf itfyos men who tells you what you ought to do and hav ing nottfingsat stakeimself. On' the contrary; he has oneson and two son-in-laws on the battlefield of France. In his brief reference to his family he touched the heart of all who heard him, and many eyes were moist. In the evening DeJeu and DeVito furnished the prelude. They were followed by George Eustace Pearson, one of the few survivors of the Princess Pats regiment of Can ada, who gave us an insight into life in the trenches and the horrors of battle. He was earnest in his work and positive in his denunciation of the Kaiser and Kaiserism, telling what would have to be done before the war closed. Some little exception was taken during his address in re gard to the light, flippant way he treated death, but those of us who heard him have not lived in the trenches as has and have not come face to face with the enemy, suffering the horrible experiences that he and his comrades endured. His lecture was good and will bear repeating any time and in any place. Wednesday afternoon and evening the Navassar Orchestral Band, con sisting of fifteen ladies, gave two complete concerts. This was the best aggregation of the kind our people ever had the good fortune to listen to. Each lady was an artist. The music was unquestionably good and admitted of considerable variety. Their programs were by far more I classical than any of the musical ag gregations we have had during the Chautauqua, and certainly pleased all who heard them. Thus closes the most brilliant Chautauqua of the series that have been conducted here since their organization. It was thought early in the season that it would be best to give up the Chau tauqua during the war, but as the program proceeded our citizens be came more interested, and at a meet ing of the promotors of the Chautau qua after the afternoon session of Monday it was decided to continue it. We are promised another brilliant program for next year. And we be lieve that White & Myers will be able to give it to us. The organiza tion came out on top.

Five hundred stockholders in Bour bon County will be interested in the announcement that the Burley To bacco Society has declared a divi dend of 6 per cent, on its $1,050,000 capital stock, and that probably $40,000 in stock is held by stock holders alone in Bourbon County. The Burley Tobacco Society is now believed to be on a firm basis finan cially, after a business career of nine years, during which time much use less and costly litigation has been forced on officers of the company, costing the stockholders some $300,000 in litigation expenses. The Burley Tobacco Society, own ed largely by tobacco growers In the Burley district, now owns 16 ware houses, and besides being large buy ers and sellers of tobacco, are success fully conducting their large tobacco manufacturing plant. The following notice to Bourbon stockholders has been issued: "A six per cent, dividend has been declared by the Burley Tobacco Com pany, payable only on presentation of stock certificate.

VON HINDENBURG SAID TO HAVE "CROSSED OVER." AMSTERDAM, July 18. Field Marshal von Hindenburg is dead, according to the newspaper Les Nouvelles. His death is said to have occurred after a stormy interview with the German Emperor at Great Headquarters at Spa. The Eniperor and the Feld Marshal' are declared to have had serious differences of opinion concerning the- German offen sive toward Paris. The Field Marshal died from congestion of the brain. The violent interview between Von Hindenburg and Emperor William oc curred on May ItT, Les Nouvelles says. It was followed by an apoplec tic stroke which ultimately resulted in the Field Marshal's death. The newspaper says 3ts informa tion was obtained "from good sources in the occupied district of Belgium." mm v GOVERNMENT MEN ARREST THE HANGERS-ON AX LATONIA. CINCINNATI, July 18. Nearly 500 men, alleged to have been with out draft cards, were caught in the Government dragnet at the Latonia racecourse Saturday afternoon, on the last day of the meeting. Street cars, automobiles and wag ons were pressed into service to con- vey the men to the Covington police headquarters. The arrests were made by the Cov ington police, Secret Service man and draft officials, assisted by the Sheriff and deputies. The visit of the officials came with out warning and almost demoralized the big Saturday afternoon crowd. Late Saturday night the police had released all but five negroes. One hundred and fifty men had no cards and were held until satisfactory proof was given or cards were pro duced by friends or relatives Count von Luxburg is promised all the safe conduct the allies can give him, but he must still take some chance of being sunk without trace.

When Fred Stone, the popular star of "Jack O' Lantern," the well-known New York musical comedy, arrived in Los Angeles for a dip in the pict ure game, he was met at the Santa Fe Depot by Jesse Lasky, Douglas Fairbanks and a band of be-chapped buckaroos, says the September Mo tion Picture Classic. The minute he stepped off the car, he was promptly lassoed, and a second later Doug Fairbanks held a pistol over Stone's heart. Fred Stone grinned. "I'm your prisoner," he chuckled. "Take my money, but spare my life." The new star wanted to see every thing there was to be seen in the Lasky studio, and everyone was keen to show him about, "Your first work will be done on this tight-rope," said his director, Donald Crisp, as they passed a seat. Stone grinned again, this time more expansively than the time before. "Up we go," he cried", and sprung on the taut wire. He skinned up the ladder like a simian, fully dressed, merely discarding his overcoat, which he had worn by Eastern force of habft Once aloft, he was more at home than ever. He stood on his head and did stunts that made the others gasp, while even Crisp was becoming nervous for his star's safety. Down he shinnied presently and hastened" over to the big tent set for his picture. Up the side he went, half-way to the ridge pole, and slid down again, landing on a lion's cage, where he was shortly to make the acquaintance of two jungle-bred, untamed, kings of the forest. As he came down Doug Fairbanks pinioned him with his ever ready lasso. Fred laughed and ex tricated himself, spinning the rope and catching Doug. Fred Stone is going to give us some great stunts in pictures Doug Fairbanks will have to invent some new ones. Hi Hi Hi LAME SHOULDER This ailment is usually caused by rheumatism of the muscles.

Kentucky has given a total of 67, 092 books to the boys in the trenches and in the camps in less than one year. Not only has the State recog nized its duty along this line but it has contributed ? 3 0,0 00 toward thle war library fund. These facts are contained in the annual report of Miss Fannie Rawson, secretary of the Kentucky Library Commission. When the first call was made for tooks for the boys the Library Com mission force collected 5t)0 volumes in response to an urgent wire from Washington for immediate service for Kentucky boys at Hattiesburg. When the work of collecting books and the drive for war library funds I was first started there was some doubt in many minds as to the need of the library service for the soldiers. When General Pershing gave the or der that shipping space be given the American Library Association for fifty tones each month, meaning 100, 000 volumes, Miss Rawson said, all doubt disappeared, the people of the State realizing the urgency of the need. , f During the year the? Library Com mission has responded to 923 calls from libraries alone. These calls cover every field of library endeavor. The traveling library collection continues to grow. One year ago there were 9,705 volumes in the trav- feling libraries. This number has been increased to 10216 volumes. The needs of the commission, Miss Rawson said in her report, are most- l ly legislative. The most urgent need is that of an increased appropriation. The commission was started in 1910 with $6,000 for tlfce annual expendi ture. This amount has not been in creased. MRS. BURNS' LETTER.
