The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1914-04-03

I Last Saturday folks just kept com.
ing into town until one Of the big
pest crowds that has been seen here
on Saturday for n long time was
J reached. The weather man did his
part. Previously he ordered rain so
that the ground would not be in con-
dition to work, and when Saturday
came round he sent sunshine and
gladness to inspire the folks all to
come to town TO participate in the
| formation of one of the latest and
best moves to help the farmers. The
ladies Of the w. c. T. U. served a
lovely dinner and in a most excellent
and orderly way, to the large num-
Der that sat at the tables, for which
they are to be most heartily COM
mended. Following the dinner a num-
ber of speeches were made and the
St Francois County Farm Bureau or
Ganized. The County Farm Advisers
notes follow:
The Farmers banquet last Satur-
day was grand success when viewed
from any angle. Two hundred and
fifty of the very best men Of the
land sat down to the excellent ban
quet, which was a banquet in reality
as well as in name, that was furnish
ed by the business men of Farming
ton, and perpared and served in SUI
perb manner by the ladies of the w.
c. I. U. Talented and--it has TO be
owned-extra good looking ladies of
the town rendered some par excellent
vocal and instrumental selections
while the banquet was in progress.
Little Miss Barbara Tullock brought |
down the house repeatedly with her
skill in the use of the violin, and was
cncored many times. The oca! Pow
Scouts deserve much credit for the
way they assisted in the cloakroom,
the office as messengers and in the
serving department. Lastly, we are
all greatly indebted to the energetic
and efficient secretary oft he Com
mercial Club for the way this and
other similar matters have been plan
ned, worked up and executed.
The various townships and districts
that want to organize their branch bu.
rcnus should be making arrangements
at once, but before adefinite date
Is set, consult with the Farm Ad-
wiser, as he is trying to get one of
he Agricultural Extension men down
lere for a week in the near future 10
we may have some lectures and a

THE VOICE OF SCIENCE.

Another solar plexus blow has been
dealt the liquor traffic. The alienists
and neurologists of the United States,
assembled In convention in Chicago.
adopted resolutions condemning alco-
holic beverages and recommending
that the various state legislatures take
steps to eliminate their use.
1T has been definitely established"
this body Of scientists affirmed, that
alcohol when taken into the system
acts as definite poison to the brain
and other tissues, and that the effects
Of this poison are directly or indirect
ly responsible for a large proportion
Of the insane, epileptic, feeble-minded
and other forms OF mental. moral and
physical degeneracy."
They unanimously resolved: That
organized science should initiate and
carry on a systematic. persistent pro-
paganda for the education of the pub.
lie regarding the deleterious effects Of
alcohol" And further. THAT the med
zeal profession should take the lead In
securing adequate legislation to the
ends herein specified"
The report Of the committee on the
prevention of insanity included the fol-
owing resolution: THAT we recon-
mend to the proper state authorities
he absolute control of the sale OF al
sohol." 1t was adopted with little dis
sussion.
According to DIR. Bayard Holmes,
professor OF surgery in the Chicago
College OF Physicians and Surgeons,
his is the first time on record In this
country that medical convention has
officially pronounced alcoholism to be
1 positive factor In insanity, and such
action is bound to have farreaehing
influence.

why the slogan, Back with the
saloon" Is "a safety first measure"
He states that the very fact that sal
oons cluster round industrial plants,
especially near the entrances and ex-
its, demonstrates that the patronage
Of the factory hands is greatly priced.
Tipplers among these men are bound
to be less cautious than others even
though employed in dangerous trades,
he declares, adding that saloons near
establishments having machinery are
prime contributing factors to the acct
dents occurring and that this fact
alone should interest every manufac-
turer. society, state and municipal au-
thority now taking active part in our

CIVIL SERVICE
DECISION MAKES
Sheriff winner

Sheriff Roses contention that he
may promote men in the service Of
the police department without reqdir-
ing them to take competitive ex-
animation before the civil service com
mission was sustained today by the
supreme court.
Judge Quarles, voicing the decision
of the court, holds that the act Great
ing the commission does not author
ize the commission to make rule re-
curing competitive examination for
promotion of persons in the service,
and that the rule to that effect adopt
ed by the commission is void. H..
The decision is summed up in these
words: 49, - -
The sheriff has authority to pro
mote a sergeant of police who has
proved his fitness therefor, to the Of
fee of captain OF police, when it can
be done with advantage to the depart
ment, without examination or APPROX
al by the civil service commission.
The case is entitled Daniel Kama
hu VS.. James Bicknell, city and counH
ty auditor. BicknelI, on the order Of
the commission, mas held UP the pay
of Kamahu, whose promotion, con.
tended the commission, was in viola
ton of its rules and regulations. This
case was submitted on an agreed
statement of facts and on briefs with
cut argument. 1t covers the entire
question of the right of the sheriff
to make promotion appointments
without his appointees passing com
petitive examination 80.
The next point before the court for
decision is whether a clerk may be
appointed by the sheriff without taxi
ing a civil service examination. -.
