EDITORIAL MUSINGS.
Let's -Have the Truth.
Possibly before the year is out
there will be important contributions
to the story of the causes that led up
to the declaration of war in 1914. It
is of the greatest value to the peo
ple of every nation that these addi
tions to the sum of knowledge be
made. The very recent and quite re
markable open letter of Prince Henry
of Prussia, to his cousin, King
George, of England, furnishes an in
stance in point.
Angered to the core by the pro
posed trial of his brother, the for
mer Emperor, before an international
tribunal, the Prince hotly suggests
that other offenders against the
world's peace be placed in the dock
and be compelled to front the evi
dence taken from the old chancel
leries which relates to the prepara
tions of the conflict.
In warning to the English Sov
ereign he utters the reminder of the
aneetings held in Balmoral Castle
-with Sazonoff, the Russian Minister
f Foreign Affairs, in 1912, at which
there were discussions of the war and
the fate of the German merchant ma
rine. If it is true that the German
diplomats secured at JPetrograd and
Moscow, at the' time of the overthrow
of the Czar, the secrets of the Rus
sian intrigues with other friendly
nations for advantage, it is quite pos
sible that the Prussian Prince is in
position to make some disclosures
that will not sit agreeably on the
stomachs of mankind in general.
No matter what the results may
be, it is to the interest of the human
race to have these dark secrets of
diplomacy ventilated. It withstood
the material effects of the war, and
is surely strong enough to receive
without injury the facts concerning
the bringing on of that mighty
struggle.
The Country Town Belongs to the
Country.
The country town is a part of the
country. It is one of the encourag
ing signs of the times that country
town business men are coming to re
alize this. It has not been so long
ago that every little town thought
that its business was to grow into a
city just as soon as possible. Some
town and many town people still
think so. Many small town people,
too, still think that their chief rela
tions and interests are with the cities
rather than the country. The most
far-seeing business men have come to
know better. They are seeing more
and more clearly that the town, the
small city, is an integral part of the
country, that it prospers only as the
country prospers, and that it is its
place in the scheme of things to be
the life center of the country about
it. The town merchant who opposes
co-operative buying of selling by the
farmers of his territory, the town
banker who would hinder the estab
lishment of farm loan associations in
his county, the town editor who neg
lects the interests of the back-country
districts, and becoming more and
more out of date. Best of all, town
folks are coming to see that they are
out of date. Not until the country
and the country town learn that they
are yoke-fellows and must pull to
gether before either can make the
progress it should. And both are
learning.
Coal Users, Play Safe!
"Buy coal now!" is the serious ad
vice of those in a position to know
the present and future state of the
market. No mistake can be made by
playing safe and filling the home cel
lars and the factory bins.
Lack of railroad equipment, the
emigration to Europe of hundreds of
thousands of miners and other la
borers in the American coal fields,
the larger demand because of the re
habilitation of industries, and other
factories made certain the shrink
age of the supply of coal this winter.
Last winter was an exceptionally
mild one, and it is indeed a hazard
to think that 'the coming winter will
be a repetition, and there was no
plethora of coal a year ago. Even
should the supply be beyond expecta
tion we are assured by experts that
there will be no reduction of price
four months hence. It is the part of
wisdom to lay in a supply of coal
now.
JOHN FOX, JR., LEFT NEW NOVEL
UNFINISHED.
John Fox, Jr., the famous writer
of mountain novels, left a new novel
only lacking the final chapter, ac
cording to his brother, Horace Fox,
who arrived in Asheville, N. C, last
week to testify in a case before the
United States district court.
Mr. Fox stated that the book is
now in the publishers' hands and
that they will select some writer to
write the unfinished chapter, which
had been sketched by the late writer
before his death. The brother of the
famous author says that John Fox,
Jr., suffered last fall from Influenza
and that he had apparently recov
ered when he was stricken with
double pneumonia and died suddenly.
The famous novelist was well known
In Asheville, having been a frequent
visitor there.
PARIS TESTIMONY
Home Proof, Here, There and Every
where. When you see Doan's Kidney Pills
recommended in this paper you most
always find the recommender a Paris
resident. It's the same everywhere
in 3,800 towns in the U. S. Fifty
thousand people publicly thank Do
an's. What other kidney remedy can
give this proof of merit, honesty and
truth? Home testimony must be
true or it could not be published here.
Read this Paris recommendation.
Then insist on having Doan's. You
will know what you are getting
Phillip M. Heller, prop, meat mar
ket, 722 Main street, says: "I have
used Doan's Kidney Pills a few times
in the past and have been greatly
benefited by them. At times my back
was weak and lame and the kidney
secretions passed too frequently,
making me get up often at night. I
have used a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills at those times and they have
always rid me of the complaint. I
think they are a splendid medicine
and gladly recommend them."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get

CITY COUNCIL PROCCEDINGS. j
The Improvement Committee, CityJ
T ! J "1C4-.. AnvnaTr iffava I
rjiigmeer aim v-iujr aiivj.jjv;j nwv -
strueted by the Paris City Council
in its regular bi-monthly meeting.
rnursaay nignu to araxt au urumauve
to submit a bond issue for an addi
tion to the sewerage system of the
city and to report at the next meet
ing. There has been a strong demand
among residents in the surburbs for
several years for an extension of the
sewerage system to their neighbor
hoods and it was in just consideration
of their needs that, the Council voted
to submit this issue 'to the-public.
The final draft will be offered the
Council on Thursday, August 28, and
it is expected that? the issue will be
placed befoie the people, in the early
fall. If it passes, ,th'e sewer construc
tion, under the supervision ' of the
City Engineer, will be started in the
near future.
The Council was unusually active
Thursday' and passed 'a number of
bills which had been deferred for
several weeks. In fact it was said
by many to have been the busiest
session conducted for many months.
A bill was introduced by Council
man Merringer to give the City At
torney proper authority to collect
pledges made by the property owners
abutting Duncan Avenue for the lay
ing of that street with Kentucky As
phalt. Some of' the pledges, it was
said, had never been paid. The
measure was passed.
As a result of a recent act of the
Council the police, firemen and the
mnerintendent of street cleaning
will now be paid twice a month.
Heretofore they had received the
pay in monthly installments.
Police Judge Ernest Martin made
'is report for the month of July and
the report showed that the amount of
fines imposed in his court was $144
and that the total collected was
U40.50.
Mr. Ralph Fields, of Lexington,
was employed to act as speed traffic
officer and he has been vested with
the full authority of a member of
police force. He had been temp
orarily appointed by the Emergency
Committee when a number ot pro
tests on automobile speeding from
citizens of the city had been filed
with Mayor January. The council
deemed that his work was satisfac
tory and that a permanent traffic
officer was needed on the police
force.
The Improvement Committee was
authorized to purchase a car of road
oil to give the street surface a coat
ing. As soon as the purchase has
arrived the work of spreading the oil
will begin. The Committee was also
instructed to investigate what would
be the cost of a storage tank, in
which to hold a reserve supply of oil.
They will report at the next meeting.
It was moved that the bond of
Burks & Co., of Louisville, which
firm was awarded the contract for
the construction of the concrete
strets, be accepted. The measure
was passed and the work on the
street will begin immediately.
Chief of Fire Police Swift McGold.
rick was given permission to attend
the convention of the National Fire
men, which will be held in Louis-
Jville, September 10-12. Firemen
from all over the United States will
attend this meeting and modern ideas
on the prevention of and fighting
fires will be discussed. The city of
Paris will pay Mr. McGoldrick's ex
pense while attending the conven
tion. BEWARE THE AFTERMATH
The people of the United States are
rapidly coming to realize that the
world's need for saving and economy
did not end with the war. This con
tinued necessity for thrift is vigor
ously presented and emphasized in a
pamphlet written by R. H. Brand, a
British economist, and published by
the British National War Savings
Committee. In this pamphlet, called
"The Financial and Economic Fu
ture," Mr. Brand calls attention- to
the fictitious character of the appar
ent prosperity brought about by the
war, and warns against the fallacious
appearances of war time progress.
"We have been enjoying the tem
porary prosperity of a spendthrift
speeding toward bankruptcy," he
says, "We have been living easy be
cause we have been living on our
capital. When we come to live on
our income and not on our capital
we shall find that the hard lessons of
the past apply also to our own days,
and that nations as well as individ
uals, can make good only by work
and saving."
The burdens of saving to put the
world on a safe financial and eco
nomic basis, Mr. Brand declares,
must be shared according to the abil
ity of individuals to bear them, and
the greatest sacrifices measured at
any rate in worldly wealth must be
made by the rich.
The United States Government an
ticiptated this situation and inau
gurated a National Thirft Campaign
during the war by placing Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps be
fore the public. These securities
serve a dual purpose give the Go-
eminent money for the reconstruc-
tion period and erect a foundation
for individual prosperity.
U. S.
TIRE MEN CAREFULLY
TRAINED.
A conference of the service men of
the United States Tire Company was
held recently at the company's Hart
for factory. The gathering included
men from every States. The service
men from that part of the company's
staff which advises the consumer of
the best means of getting the most
miles out of his tires. The confer
ence was to acquaint the service
men fully with the leatest devolp
ments in tire manufacture and the
best means of avoiding tire trouble.

The idler and the slacker are of
no use in this world to-day.
KENTUCKY SCHOOL PUPILS PLAN
BIG THRIFT CAMPAIGN
r
Foundation for a wonderful cam
paign that will carry the message of
thrift into every home in Kentucky
is being laid by the War Savings Or
ganization, under the direction of
James B. Brown, of Louisville, who
was appointed State Director for the
Blue Grass State by Federal Director
L. A. Wilson, of the Eighth Federal
Reserve District.
The school is the instrument
chosen through which to drive home
the lessons of saving. During the
vacation period the teachers insti
tutes are held in every county. Each
one of these institutes is attended by
A. J. Jolly, in charge of the educa
tional work in Kentucky, or one of
his assistants, and the teachers are
enlisted under the banner of Thrift.
Teachers are shown the advanta
ges of saving. They are shown the
vast advantages offered by the War
Savings Stamp offered by the United
States Government. They are in
structed in Thrift Stamp movement,
whereby the pupils can invest their
quarters and watch them grow into
$5 government bonds. The War Sav
ings Stamps, and the new issue of
$100 and $1,000 Treasury Certifi
cates, with identical features of the
smaller War Savings Stamps, are also
dwelt on.
In fact, each teacher is instructed,
and in nearly every institute in
Kentucky this summer, every teacher
has signed a pledge card agreeing to
devote a certain time to instruction
in thrift and to organize a War Sav
ings Society in his room when "books
take up" early in September.
Mr. Jolly in a recent visit to head
quarters at St. Louis, said the re
sponses of the Kentucky teachers
had exceeded expectations and he
was satisfied that more money would
be saved by pupils during the next
scholistic year than any other year in
the history of Kentucky.
The demand for cents, however, is
due to the war tax and not to thrift
or the increasing number of children.
