was one OF the school children to help
in this new celebration In Hart Coun
ty last September. Perhaps Farm
Day" ought not to be spoken OF as q
celebration at all, because 1t is merely
the school children going to school to
a good farmer and his wife for a day.
But then It was a celebration for the
good neighbors and parents of the
school children, so perhaps 1t was some
thing OF a mixture OF a celebration and
a going to school that pleased every
body immensely.
Farm Day goes to show that new
things in the life OF the rural schools
are springing up everywhere, and the
only difficulty in using them nationally
is, that the change OF administration
at Frankfort is putting into once q
new man as Superintendent every four
years. No matter how strong a school
man he might be. he has no time In
which to develop school matters over
a long period. and so the school and
the children suffer.
On the 10th OF September the chill
dren and teachers Of 20 schools went
visiting. Each school had selected the
best farm and home In the neishbor-

The Paris (Mo.) Appeal says:
Thing that are being said about
local option in Monroe county
are being said by men who were
active in their opposition to the
law. They really believed the
cause of good roads would perish
from off the earth and that
towns not infested with saloons
would die natural death.
Events have proven the contra
ny and these men are acknowl-
edging their mistake. Paris has
kept her streets in fine repair,
has gone right along with the
work of building sidewalks and
crossings, has expended five
thousand dollars for a library
site, installed a municipal day
current and paid every obliga-
ton, both for bonded indebted
ness and current expenses, as it
fell due, and all this with no in
crease in taxation. Best of all.

CHRISTMAS DON,TS

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 81.
= Superintendent Walter K.
Chorn of the State Insurance
Department has issued a general
warning to the people asking
extreme care be used in Christ
mas decorations in order that
the season may not be saddened
by the destruction of life and
property by fire.
The warning is particularly
addressed to parents, shopkeep-
ers and persons in charge of
Christmas exercises in schools
and churches and deals entirely
with decorations of Christmas
trees and shop windows. The
warning follows:
Do not decorate your Christ
mas tree with paper, cotton or
any other inflamable material,
Use metallic tensil and other nom
infamable decorations only, and
set the tree securely so that
children cannot tip it over.
Do not use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have snow
use asbestos fiber.
Do not permit children to
light or relight candles while pa
rents are not present. They fire.
quently set fire to their clothing
instead. The tree itself will
burn when the needles have be-
come dry.
Do not leave matches within
the reach of children at holiday
time, Candles are meant to be
lighted, and if children can get
matches they will experiment
with them. They initiate their
elders.
Church people should also be
very careful. Holiday fires in
ob,1roboc ond coboolc ORC non
ally hoIocausts because of the
crowds, and every care should
be exercised to insure the safety
of all. The ones burned are by
no means the only ones who lose
their lives, for it is a general
rule that more are killed in the
rush and excitement and escap-
ing from the building.

other duties which claim first
place upon the part of those who
are called upon to serve. The
public should not feel disap-
pointed nor aggrieved when
some change is made in the pro-
gram at the last moment, or
some number specially desired
fails to be presented. Neither
the officers of the Society or the
program committee have any
way to compel those placed up
on the program to serve if they
do not wish to or cannot do so.
1t often becomes necessary to
substitute another number at
the last minute, and the program
committee is always deeply
grateful for information con-
corning any number that is avail
able. If you can do any thing
that is entertaining, please do
not "hide your light under a
bushel' or wait to be discover
ed', but give your name to any
of the program committee, and
it will be carefully considered in
making up the next program.
Suggestions for special programs
are also welcome.

next Monday morning.
James Son, formerly one of
our students in Bonnie Terre,
now attending Cape Girardeau
Normal, visited US last week.
Raymond Vogt accompanied
Lionel Tetley to Portageville, re-
Gently, and reports a pleasant
sightseeing trip.
Dorsey Ebrecht is absent from
his school work owing to illness.
We trust he may soon recover
and be back at his post of duty.
Prof. Cecil Hughes of the Flat

day. Mr.. Hughes never hest
tates to express his continued in
terest in business education.
Fred Lynde successfully pass
ed his shorthand test in the
Presidents office last Friday.
Ida Belle Hughes writes us
that she has a good stenograph-
ic position in the office of the
Bennett Electrical Co., 1918 Pine
Street, st. Louis. The many
friends of Miss Hughes will be
delighted to know she is pleas
antly located in the Mound city.
Mr.. Joseph Huber, who has
very responsible position as stem
ographer and bookkeeper for the
Westinghouse Engineering Co.,
of New York City, now doing
contract work in E. st. Louis,

with his work and retains a spe-
cial interest in his Alma Mater.
All who know Mr.. Huber, recall
that he is an upright, honest,
Industrious German boy, who is
determined to make good, and
we congratulate him upon the
success already achieved.
Our football team added spe-
cial laurels to its already victor
ious season, on last Saturday af-
ternoon, by winning a very hard
fought contest with the Bonne
Terre Athletic Club. The Ozark
team was very much surprised to
find, just before the game began,
that they were called upon to
meet men who are known as
STARS" in the football history
Of tn great State Of Missouri.
The Bonnie Terre team had in
its lineup such men as Knobel,
formerly half-back on the Mis-
souri, University team; Nor
wine and Heagler, stars of the
Western Military team; James
Son, who has been playing with
the Cape Girardeau first team
this season, and others of al
most equal prominence. Our
boys hesitated in going up
against such a formidable oppo-
nent, apparently being absolute
ly out-classed and greatly out
weighed, but finally decided to
go on with the contest, and were
rightfully victorious by ssore
of 7 to 6. All of our boys played
such excellent football it would
be unkind to single out any par
ticular stars, but the manage
ment Of the school wishes to
publicly congratulate all of our
men that took part in this mem
orable contest.

thought of the indifferences and
prejudices of men. Here in our
own Lead Belt men get so blind
because of these things, that
when election times come around
because some hired tool of some
double-dealing politician gets
about among the boys, pas
es around among the faithful"

politicians esteem, and shouts

the polls and Save their coun-
try" according to the stipulated
program of said politician, his
advices, etc.
If only we would forget our
prejudices long enough to have
a look at these advisers" and
find out something about them !!
We all know that whenever a
man in the past who has been
the laboring mans friend has
sought Office, almost invariably
he has suffered defeat. Why!
Simply because astute politi.
clans in league with the corpor-
atoms of the county, knowing
how dearly we love to be calico

tions, have been able to make us
see virtue where none existed
in men who were owned COM
pletely by these corporations,
and we have gone into the booth
and politically slaughtered an
honest friend of our cause in or
der to keep ourselves in good
standing with our party.
Men don't change much from
generation to generation, and ]
look for the thing to continue so
long as corporations are con-
trlled by the sort Of men who
control the corporate interests
of this county. There ought TO
be some way of bringing about
g change. We were not afflicted
with this malady of political
corruption in the old days Of
Parsons and Graves. And be-
lieve that now, if affairs were in
the hands of home men, such as
Robert Holmes of St. Louis and
others like him, there would be
an end of this vicious condition.
If all the friends of labor will
vote in the coming elections as
their sober judgment dictates
and then altogether demand that
corporate affairs be handled by
men of the character of Holmes,
not only will the political kitch-
en- be scrubbed but the corpora
tons be cleaned up as well.

The girls basket ball team of
the H. S. played the Desloge
team on the Desloge court on
Saturday afternoon and was de-
feated by the top-heavy score
of al to 6. The Desloge for
wards seemed to score at will
able to consistently block every
effort of the Pennington for
wards.
On the same afternoon the
Harrington eighth grade boys
played the Desloge second team
composed of three high school
and two grade-boys and were de-
feated by a score of 80 to 6. The
Pennington boys we're outclass-
ed both in size and basket ball
experience but played good de-
fenisve game from beginning to
end. The game was the first ex-
perience of the Pennington boys
in a match game and they clear
~ demonstrated that they are
made up of the right stuff tc
develop into a winning team.
After the close of the game
the Desloge H. S. teachers anc
pupils invited their visitors into
the labratory and there served
a substantial and delicious lunch
that was very much enjoyed.
After the luncheon a social hour
was spent in the auditorium dur

students Of the two schools. The
Pennington teams and support

they have been defeated.

by the local boys this season and
they had previously defeated

however, several of the Farm

weakened their defensive work
that they were unable to make

Pennington boys have scored al

have scored only SO. They have
