| lowing announcement. 4 new late
model Linotype machine is to be in
stalled in the Office within few
weeks, and an Omaha folding ma
chine to take the place Of the slow
hand method now used. This ad'
vance step Is one absolutely impos'
sible not to take. Hand compost
ors are scarce and wages high. II
has been impossible to handle the
volume of news that has been OBJ
tainable during the two weeks that
the present management has had
charge of the office. 1t indeed has
been II source Of regret To omit mat
ters important in the local commun-
ity life hut the office force that is
now working could not possibly get
the matter in type Thus In order
to produce a newspaper worthwhile
and that really gives the news The
Times is forced To install "A Linotype,

position. Our friends aud readers
will thus patiently bear with The
Times in its limited news service
for a few weeks longer The Editor
here and now promises II larger aud
more complete news service when
the machinery is installed making
II possible tn handle same, and II
will not he very long before that Il
done.
In the meantime the continued CO.
operation of one and all Is solicited.
A glance at the roll Of honor will
convince one that The Times under
the new management is meeting
with instant approval A large NAM
ber Of copies Of the paper are being
circulated each week which gives
value TO the local advertising aud Is
also our appeal for corporation.
In closing this article it might be
well to remind friends Of The Times
that the equipment purchased is the
latest of anything on the market.
The new folding machine will take
papers right off of our Babcock
press, fold and trim them ready for
mailing without any one touching
them in any way. The new Limo
type that Is ordered is one specially
built and adapted for country Of
fees. In addition To this equip.
mert other necessary material will
be added at once so that The Times
may be able to enter the local field
of printing and news service to rem
der its whole part.

teen people presented petitions for
divorce and all were granted.
Thirteen women had found that the
matrimonial state was not happy and

chosen husbands, aud three men had

PREACHER TO WRITE
ABOUT FARMING

Rev. X. $. Mcclure, pastor Of the
Christian Church at Elvins, in
sending in his announcement OF
preaching services at Elvius states
that he would like to write some ar
ticles to the farmers of st. Francois
county. We do not know Just what
Is the nature of the articles, but
would presume that preacher in
addressing himself to the line of
thought suggested would have some
thing of interest to say. Hence, the
Editor says, let's have the dope
Brother Mcclure.
The Editor also wishes to an
nounce In this connection that an
nouncements of any and all churches
Of the county will be carried in The
Times free of charge. That is, all
announcements relating to the ser.
vices and worship in the churches.

w. @. T. U. ENTERTAINMENT.

Local talent scored another tri-
umph at the Monarch Tuesday
evening, when the three.act comedy
"The Lost Diamonds" was pre-
sented, In addition to the coon songs
and readings. The opening scene
was the Living American Flag, "
arranged with the little children,
who sang with great viYacity
America" Then our favorite
singer, Mrs. &. o. Nelson, came out
aud sang three verses of the "StaC
Spangled Banner" the flag chill
dren joining in the chorus.
Mrs. Nelson sang this song most
beautifully and with deep feeling
and expressions; but the audience
remained seated, Oblivious of the
fact that 1t is considered right and
proper always to stand during the
rendition of this national air. Stand
up for the flag, people OF Farming
ton; YOU will have the opportunity
soon, for the entertainment is to be
repeated.
There were ten boys dressed as
little male and female coons, who
gave two or three numbers which
received hearty applause. The boys
were Bernard Matkin, Glenwood
Baker, Floyd Rogers, Este Lon
don, Mack Denman, William
O'Sullivan, Childress Tetley, Eu-
geue Karsch, Herbert Klein and
Harry Menge.
Little Harry Smith gave recita-
ton, ~ aint goin' to cry no more, u
and in spite Of desire for an en-.
core, he declined. Mr.. Warden
Moothart rendered beautiful violin
solo.
The comedy was In three acts.
The characters were taken by Mrs
sam '.etley, Misses Trlxie Graves,
Bess Cover, Wilma Denman, Anna
Craig and Messrs. Carl Trauernicht,
Ralph Isaacs, Frank Ledbetter
Oliver Edwards, Leslie Mitchell
aud Ruffner Lloyd. Every charac.
ter was well rendered, but Mrs. Tet.
ley as the old maid sister of the
farmer, and the farmer, oliver Ed
wards, covered themselves witt
glory in their comedy parts.
Mrs. Fannie Shaw and Miss Alvi
Clay presided alternately at th'
piano.
The entertainment was such |
| Financial success, and so many wer'
turned away unable to get in, tina
an earnest request has been mad
for lis repetition. s. Mex. +.

HENSLEY SAVES
NATION MONEY

BY we'll directed efforts and per-
sistances, Hensley, OF Missouri
saved some millions of the peoples
money by forcing a big cut in the
Naval appropriation bill passed at
the last session of the 62nd Cong
ress. II he succeeds i'll passing his
peace resolution" land he wild
he will make it possible to save
many more millions. The resolu-
ton would authorize the United
States to enter into an agreement
with the other great seafariug ma
tions OF the world to stop building
big expensive battleships, for a
time at least. As it is now four or
FIVE OF the most powerful natious
are stralning every nerve to attain
and maintain naval supremacy
Hensley is striking at the root OF
the evil. Strength to his arm and
courage to his heart until this fool
ish international competition in
naval construction is abated.
Hensley would spend less money
on army and navy, and more in
developing the resources of the
country, educating the people and
in encouraging the industries, and
he is right. FIX.

REVIVAL COMES TO A CLOSE
Fifty-Four Quit Wrong Doing
and Unite With Church
Revival a Success

The meetings at the Baptist
Church cios,-' lss ,aisoath evening
with a crowded house, aud a splendid
interest. AS result of the two
weeks meeting, there has been "a
additions and 20 baptisms, making "a
total of ~ additions since the COM
ing OF the present pastot = months
ago; Every convert during the meet
ings joined the baptist church and
seemed to be settled in faith.
The house was filed to it's limit
most every evening and the day
services were largely attended by
both saved and unsaved While
there was no excitement Mt any time,
yet enthusiasm ran high and the
christian people Of the community
responded largely in personal work
and prayer.
But at no time during the entire
meeting did the general interest and
enthusiasm ran higher than after
listening to n rousing sermon, last
sabbath morning the collection was
taken to raise the church debt.
The Evangelist said we had one of
the incest churches in this part of
the country and one to he proud of
and to enjoy; but IL II was ever to bs
entirely paid for, II would certainly
have to be done by the members of
the baptist church because 1t would
not he probable thing that any one
outside would come In and pay It.
He also said that II would be as
easily done now as any time. He
then read few verses from the
word of God, and then lifted us to
the thrown of grace, and then with
out any frivolity all, lovingly call
ed for subscriptions. At once tel
egram was read from Senator
Hensley, IN which he gladly offered
800 to raise the debt 1t brought
tears of Joy to many eyes, as the
ball was set In motion, aud about u
dozen gave 800 and several gave $50
some s25 aud few $40 and before it
was scarcely realized the entire in-
debited ness was lifted, and then
tears and smiles; and then we all
joined in Praise God from whom
all blessings flow"
, Mrs. SmOot came Saturday
aud remained to go home with her
husband on monday morning. They
ate breakfast ut the parsonage at
8 O'Clock monday morning and went
away on the $50 car for Flat River,
and went on to DeSoto. We all miss
them 80 much that we feel a sense
Of lonliness since the meetings are
over.
The meetings are unqaestionably
the greatest meetings ever held AT
the Baptist Church In Pennington
and will undoubtedly be a benefit
to the entire town. The pastor will
preach next Sabbath morning ans
evening as usual. There will prob
ally be another Baptismal ssrvic,
next sabbath. Contributed.

WHOLESOME TABLE TALK

There's the Dining Room. Why does every par
ticular home-maker want attractive Dining Room!
Why is she willing to spend money freely to make the
Dining Room appealing? Does dainty Dining Room
add anything to the food one eats!
There's the China Ware. And besides the
China, there's the Glass Ware the Silver, and the
pensiye Linens. Are all dining furnishings
merely for show, or styleI What do such things add
to ones foodr Theyadd the rarest Flavor En- oyment
All of which says, Who Wants to Eeononase at
the Expense Of his Dinner Table? When 1t
comes to foods, few cents more always buys the
best quality. For instance, let's face the truth
of prices. Here it is 3 Cans for Quarter Equality

ably few Of the travellers IN tropical

and the papain obtained from the dif.

best being that derived from the male

Ceylon. The digestive and disintegrat.

WOMEN DOING LESS TALKING

facts. which appear to show that TIL

For that there has been q change

Take. for instance. women in res.

you see the men taking not only their
own share in the conversation. but
even leading it in many cases. At
receptions. too. and at public dinners,
the fair sex seems, for some time now.
to be letting the reins Of conversation
slip from their hands.
"One explanation for this queer
