IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.

We have been informed by M. A..
Rhodes, who has recently visited sew
eral cities in Southwest Missouri and
Eastern Kansas, that industrial con-
ditions are rapidly improving and that
the prediction has been made by some
of the best business men that by the
first Of June every laborer who de-
sires employment can easily secure
same. Factories that have been clos
ed since the panic and hard times of
1907 are opening up in full blast.
Prospects for a bumper crop seem to
prevail throughout the country. The
price Of lead is steadily advancing
and in the lead fields of Southeast
Missouri we have ample reason to
believe that within fortnight work
will be most plentiful, more so than
at any other time since the panic.
Pennington is a good city and of
course will participate in the reign of
prosperity presently setting in
throughout our land and country.

There was very slow opening to
the hog trade today with market
showing 10c to 15c lower basis than
early yesterday. The top then was
$765, with the bulk of the good hogs
selling within a dime range at S7.55
up to the top. A city butcher jump
ed in and secured some fancy sorted
hogs at $7.70. Along about noon
packer buyers came to life and took
hold of the 100 to 200 pound hogs a
full Sc higher than early.
The total receipts of 10,500 included
quite a few pigs, but unfortunately
orders were scarce and as a result it
was 25c lower market-the poorest
pig trade in many day. A few buy
ers took chances at the prices, trust
ing to luck for orders tomorrow,
Pigs 110 to 1870 pounds sold at $500
to $725,S with lighter kinds at $6 to
$6.75. Rough hogs $6.75 to $500.
The cattle market is a dandy and

"The Drama Of Life"
Lecture by Rev. ]. R. Morgan, Pennington Literary
Society, April %, 1915. Synopsis

''What piece of work is man! How noble in
reason, how infinite in faculty. in form and moving
how express and admirable in action how like an an
gel, in apprehension how like god."-Shakespeare.
YOU the members and patrons of Farmington's
Literary Society, have, doubt, at some time or
other read and considered these sublime words of the
immortal Shakespeare which have just quoted for
you. Many of you suppose, have read them time
and time again. and at each successive reading you
have found in them new food for thought Like most
of Shakespeare uterances these words of his to which
| have reference go below the surface of things and
as they sink into the mind they carry with them a
thousand suggestions and motives for right living and
high resolve. Through the texture Of his poems, his
dramas and his tragedies the llustrous poet has
en- the golden threads of life philosophy that re-
veas to the fact that of all men he perhaps the
greatest observer of and marvellous interpreter
of the lives that live. Like Cassius in julius Cae-
sar, Shakespeare looked quite through the deeds OF
men, The thoughts think the deeds we do, the
motives that actuate us for right or wrong perform
ance-these form the essentials that enter into that
great drama we call life And though to-day there be
some who deplore the modern tendencies of the stage
still we must not forget that life itself is stage, we
are the actors, each having his part to play And
no matter what that part may be, matter how in
significant it may appear to us it is part in life
and the world and society expect and demand that
we act it we'll That we are capable of satisfactory
performance in the role that is is based upon the
fact that each and every human being in whom there
is breath Of life is masterpiece from the hands of
the Creator, being wonderfully gifted, piece Of
work noble in reason infinite in faculty, in form and
moving express and admirable in action like angel
in apprehension like god.

BUSINESS COLLEGE NOTES

The regular April examinations WILL
be held Friday of this week.
Miss Lawrence is successor to Mr..
Sigman in the College Bank this
week
Miss Anna Huber spent Saturday
and Sunday with parents and friends
in Ste. Geevieve county
William Moothart has been doing
stenographic work for the st. Fran
co.'s County Bank the past week.
Messrs. Sigman and Rehkop passed
their shorthand tests under Prof,
Beard last week; the former, the sec
ond, the latter the first.
The college sold a Monarch Type
writer to Mr.. Cover, who has recent
ly purchased the Bill Posting business
from Mr.. Beatty
Prof. Kinder leaves for Greenville
Friday, where he delivers the class
address at the graduation exercises
Of the Wayne County Rural Schools
Friday night.
President Moothart is spending a
few days in the country, but expects
to be in charge Of the school Friday,
giving examinations and shorthand
tests.
Prof, Cecil Hughes has enrolled for
special work in the Shorthand and
typewriting departments, for six
weeks, after which time he expects to
give up his work with us, and take
summer school training in the State
University at Columbia. Mr.. Hughes
has been nelected principal of the
East ward school at Flat River, for
this coming year, ,and we feel cenl-
dent that all who know him are graf
flied indeed Co see him receive this
merited recognition.
Let us kindly suggest to other
teachers of st. Francois and adjoin-
ing counties, that the. acquiring Of
typewriting and shorthand is indeed
valuable adjunct to the education
al work. 1t is now becoming quite
general for young people to secure
shorthand before taking up their nor
NAL or university work, so if condi-
tions should demand Of them to work
their way through school by doing
stenographic services, they would be
prepared.
This, the Pennington Moothart
Business College, has purchased the
Business College at Bonne Terre as
conditions warrant the consolidation
of the. two schools, and this will en-
able us to make the Pennington
school larger and better than ever be-
fore. The furniture and fixtures at
Bonne Terre will be moved here, and
this equipment will enable us to ac-
commodate q very large number Of
students; and we are fully expecting
to double our enrolment during the
next school year. The closing Of the
Bonne Terre College will not serious
ly inconvenience our patrons in the
Lead Belt, and we feel sure the inn
proved conditions in the Pennington
College will more than make up for
the distance the students are required
to come to attend this institution.

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Designates Next Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday as Cleanup Days.


The Mayor and Board of Aldermen
have designated next Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, May 5, 6 and 4,
as Cleanup days for the City of
Pennington. Everybody desires to
live in clean city. The City Council
therefore, is asking the cooperation
Of every individual in this city in this
good work. II all work together the
Clean-Up days will be a big success.
If all do not cooperate, they will not
be as successful as they should be.
The Board requests and recommends
that you get your rubbish piled in re-
ceptacles convenient to be reached by
the wagons and drivers not later than
Tuesday night, May 4th. Wagons
will be started in each ward early
Wednesday morning and it is hoped
to accomplish this crusade for a
cleaner city without wasting time
and money in useless labor. For this
reason your cooperation is especial
ly needed. If the refuse to be hauled
away is not placed in receptacles con-
venient for loading and located near
the highways or alleys much time will
be wasted. All brush, dried grass
and leaves should be burned. The
city can use cinders on its streets and
will haul them away if such is the
wish of the person owning them. The
laws and ordinances require that all
persons shall keep their premises in
a sanitary condition. Therefore, you
are requested to use lime or other dis
infectant in all damp places and plac-
es emitting offensive odors and in all
other places where disinfecting will
be helpful. Citizens are urged not
to wait to be told by the City Mar
shall to clean up any part of their
premises, but it is hoped this will be
a matter Of public spirit with all and
that everyone in he city of Farm
ington viii work toward the good eud
of establishing cleaner and better
Pennington.

ed to the home of the bride that af-
ternoon, and Monday evening a crowd
of their friends expressed their good
wishes in an old-time charivari, and
The Times wishes them much success
and happiness through life.

about man and money. 'There will always be num-
Der of men," he says, who would fan set themselves
to the accumulation of wealth as the sole object Of
their lives Naturally that class of men is an uned-
Gated class inferior in intellect and more or less cow
ardy It is physically impossible for well educated
intellectual or brave to make money the chief OBJ
ject of his thoughts"
Ruskin is right The man who plays well his
part in the drama of life above the money pile and
beyond the bank roll He sees the vast possibilities
of large service service that his country needs
and his church demands Providence has given us
glorious country l know Of only one that is better,
and that is the country from whose borne no travel
er has yet returned" And the heroes of our country
from Lexington to Vera Cruz in Mexico gave up their
lives that we might lve that our flag might remain
unsuled and unstaned and that as citizens of this
great Republic might continue to enjoy "liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
In view of the sacrifices laid upon the altar of our
country, believe that all of us should become poit
clans. Not in the sense however that each and ev-
eryone of should run for office for as matters now
stand there not enough offices to accommodate
those who are already in the field seeking them But
my meaning is in this larger sense that as the years
go by we do all in our power to put the right men in
office and keep the wrong men out of Office BY so
doing will contribute our share to the making of
an ideal citizenship.
Those who played well their part in the drama of
Life and who now are gone, asleep in their "window-
less palace of rest" have left us the inheritance of
their priceless example-an example that should be
our light in darkness that should make our pathway
through, life bright with the rays of the MONDAY
sun, that should teach US the sweet philosophy of
these words:
4 live for those who love me,
For those who know me true
For the heavens that bend above me
And the good that can do.
For the wrongs that need resistance,
For the cause that needs assistance
For the future in the distance
And the good that / can do"
