BOURBON
THE LIBERTY CHORUS
The Liberty Chrous, under the di
rection of Mr. A. L. Boatright, gave
a series of open-air "sings" in Paris,
Saturday night. The members of the
Chorus, supplemented by a number
of other vocalists, were taken in big
furniture motor trucks from one
place to another. The first of the
concerts took place in front of the
court house, where a program of pa
triotic songs was M rendered by the
Chorus in the presence of a large
crowd. Mrs. Wade Whitley presided
at the piano.
Stops were made at the corner of
Main and Sixth, near the Kress Co.'s
store, where the program was re
peated, and the cheers and plaudits
of the crowd that almost equaled the
other. From there the singers pro
ceeded to the corner of Main and
Eighth, where a big crowd awaited
them. The program was repeated
there and drew forth loud applause
from the assembled crowd. The
singers then proceeded to the resi
dence of Mrs. Hattie Hill, where the
program was rendered, and the vocal
ists returned to their homes. Alto
gether it was a "large night."
The program, which was made up
for the most part of patriotic airs,
interspersed with other songs of an
equally pleasing character, was ren
dered by the full strength of the
membership, in an excellent manner,
fully attesting the faithful drilling 4
and instruction they had received.
The new piano was put into commis
sion on this occasion for the first
tijme, and added much to the enjoy
ment of the evening.
The Government has made a special
request for entertainments of this
character, and urges that everyone
who can sing should take part in the
singing. The appearance of the
Chorus in this city is always an as
surance of a pleasant two or three
hours' concert, and they shquld be
encouraged in every way to continue
the good work, which is as patriotic
as any.
The crowd followed the singers
from one place to another and it
seemed as if they could not get
enough of the melodies which the
Chorus rendered. Considering the
counter-attractions on the same
night, the singing attracted its share
of attention and attendance.

"GASOUNELESS SUNDAY" ORDER
DOESN'T APPLY TO
CHURCHGOERS
A wrong impression has been cre
ated in the minds of many people in
the county by publication of the
United States' Fuel Administration's
call to the people to cease the use of
automobile driving for pleasure on
Sundays. Some thought it prohibited
use of the machines for church going,
but such is not the case.
According to County Fuel Admin
istrator James H. Thompson, persons
having no other way to attend church
may use automobiles in coming to
and returning from church services.
In fact, church-going in America is
considered a necessity, as this is a
Christian nation, and our success in
the world-war, which is now in
progress depends upon the loyalty of
the people to their churches as (much
as to the forceof arms.
The past two Sundays very little
automobile driving for pleasure has
taken place in Bourbon county, but
the people have driven to and from
church in their automobiles, and
they may continue to do so. The per
son, however, who runs his or her
automobile on Sunday for pleasure,
while they may not be arrested, will
be considered slackers. The call of
the Government is being complied
with almost to the letter all over the
country east of the Mississippi river.
The ruling of the Fuel Administra
tion that applies to church-going is
as follows: Restrctions do not apply
to jmotor vehicles on errands of neces
sity in rural communities, where
transportation by steam or electricity
is not available."

says: "The Liberty Chorus at Paris
is" doing much to encourage patriot
ism and to develop the musical tal

"The Chorus sing the favorite

COMPROMISE REJECTED
TO
The proposition, to the city made
some time ago by the Paris Gas &
Electric Co., to give the city and pri
vate consumers a lower rate for light
ing and heating was rejected Friday.
A conference on the subject was held
at the office of Mayor E. B. January,
by the Mayor, the Light Committee
of the City Council, composed of
Councilmen Kiser, Merringer and
Veatch, and Consulting Engineer
Weiss.
Under the offer made by the Paris
Gas. & Electric Company to lower its
rates,, it was said that the city would
save an- annual expense of approxi
mately $lt800, and, consumers about
ten 'per cent, amblith-on their light
and heat bills. The city-will insist
on the acceptance of the s rates re
cently proposed and adopted in an
'.ordinageer passed by-the-City Council.

SURGICAL DRESSING WORK NOW
PUT ON dUOTA BASIS.
All work in the 'surgical dressings
.department of the Red Cross in the
Lake Division is being put on a quota
basis.
This means that allotments in the
future must be a bit smaller than
formerly, owing to" the fact that there
has been an unbalanced production in
the past.
Until things even ui until certain
articles are provided of which at
present' there is a slight shortage, the
surgical dressings production must
necessarily be curtailed and the en
ergy diverted to making the other
needed articles assigned in the
quotas.
It is hoped that all surgical dress
ing rooms will soon be asked to re
sume work at top speed.
At present there are enough fin
ished dressings being shipped to
meet the need abroad until other im
portant articles can be gotten out.
Meanwhile a hew course of study,
of interest to surgical dressing work
ers, is being planned and will be an
nounced more fully, hk &6bn as details
are completely arranged.
COST YOU $3 NOW TO MOVE
PHONE.
Managers Floyd, of the Cumber
land Telephone Co., and J. J. Veatch,
of the Home Telephone Co., have re
ceived copies of a new order just
issued by the Postoffice Department
Under the provisions of this order all
telephone companies were directed by
Postmaster General Burleson to snake
2. flat charge of $3 for moving a sub
scriber's phone from one location to
another within the same premises.
The order amends -regulations made
August 28 under which the charge
was to be based on the actual cost
of making the installation or change
of location.

them. Some precincts called for an i
additional supply of cards, but with
the exception of being called upon
for the material and so solve a few
inconsequential problems the entire
registration went off like clock work.
There was but o-ne trouble experi
enced, that of persuading some
would-be resigtrants that they were
either too young or too old.
With the work of the registration
out of the way the Bourbon County
Draft Board will soon begin the work
of distributing the questionnaires to
the new draftees, and when these
are filled out and returned to the
Board, the work of classification will
begin. It is expected that many of
the new draftees will be leaving for
training camps sometime next month.
The following are the figures in
the registration, as reported by each
precinct:
All of the Bluegrass counties with
three exceptions, reported more reg
istrants than the Draft Boards had
estimated they would report. Follow
