HON. F. P. GRAVES RETURNS
HOME AFTER TWO MONTHS
IN HOSPITAL.
His Many Friends Delighted I,
Learn Of His Recovery.

Hon. f. P. Graves, who had been
confined to a hospital in st. Louis for
several weeks, returned to his home
in Pennington recently very much
improved in health, and his numer-
Gus friends are delighted to know
that he is regaining his health and
hope that he may, yet, live to see
many years of pleasure and useful
service in the various phases Of hfe's
domain.
His checkered life is a pleasing
panorama of unexcelled beneficence
and universal sympathy, which en-
yeloped the universe and rendered the
circle Of his environment one perpet-
ual ovation worthy Of emulation by
the children of men.
His laurels won by years of hon
est toll have not turned to weeping
willows and diadem of lustrous lau-
rels is in keeping beyond the mists of
the future, slowed away in some niche
of evanescense, to be bestowed as q
token and recognition of the worth,
labor and goodness of him who hath
walked in the paths of righteousness
"Truth crushed to earth shall rise
again,
The eternal years of God are hers;
But, error, wounded writhes in pain
And dies among his worshipers."

GARDEN CONTEST

When March comes around it is
time to begin to think about gardens,
and the Commercial Club of Farming
ton is fully aware Of that fact. How
do we know? Well, here it is; The
Commercial Club of Pennington has
started contest, open to all school
children of the city, in which the OBJ
iect is to raise more and better vege-
tables,
They offer three prizes, consisting
Of $40, SIS and $3.50. But of far more
Importance is the saving which will
result from the home production of
the vegetables. 1t will do much to-
ward solving the problem of the
High Cost of Living" in many of
the families represented in this con-
test
There will be five judges, to be
named later. Four inspections will
be made at about the following dates:
May 1-5; June 1920; August 1-5, and
September 1920. The points to be
judged upon are: Quantity, 80 points;
Quality, 80 points; Arrangement, Is
points, and Condition, 25 points.
An opportunity will probably be
given to the contestants to exhibit
their products at fair, county round
up or something of the sort. A little
later prize will be offered for the
best essty, entitled, "My Garden"
Farm Agent France will instruct
the children in planting and prepara-
ton of the seed bed and will act as
coach in the contest.

sUCCUMBS TO SEVERE ATTACK
OF PNEUMONIA. SUFFERS
BUT FEW DAYS

Last Wednesday, about $3.50 a. M,
Miss Maggie A. Nossett fell to sleep
at the hands Of the grim reaper, hav-
ing suffered of pneumonia little more
than a week.
She was the oldest daughter of Mr.,
James Nossett, who lives near Elec-
trio Place, and was born April IA,
1897, departed this life March IA,
1915, being IT years, months and 10
days of age. She led strict Chris
tian life, being affiliated with the In
ternational Bible Students Associa-
tion.
The deceased leaves, besides a
father, two sisters and two brothers
to mourn her untimely death. The
body was laid to rest in Pendletor
cemetery at 2:30 last Thursday even
ing.
The Times extends sympathy and
coincidence to the bereaved friends
and relatives in this hour of grief
and sorrow.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-03-26

submitted for final adjudication to
the Bar of Public Opinion, there
would be unanimous verdict in his
favor
When the laboring men of this coun-
ty once have their attention called to
the real facts in the case; they will
as one man rise up and demand res
titution. The great corporations all
over this nation have discovered that
public opinion is the Supreme Law
of the nation, and woe be unto him
who says Ito hell with public opin-
ion." Our friend, Mr.. Graves, rec
ognizes the axiom, and while Super
intendent of the Doe Run Lead Co.,
governed its affairs accordingly. The
question has been asked: why do the
correspondents, expresaing their sym
pathies and aaTivats 4 feE this yic-
tim Of injustice, uss norafae plume?
The French would answer: the real
name would be, Nal a Propos.

LIVE STOCK REPORT

A selected load of bacon hogs
brought $7.35 today the same as yes
terday's top though the general mar
ket was SC to 10c lower. 1t was
fairly active market at the prices
but this activity was due entirely to
Eastern order buyers who offered the
only reliable outlet. The bulk Of the
good $50 to 225 pound hogs went at
$7.10 to $3.50; good to choice heavies
over 225 pounds at. 81 to $40, and
rough hogs Sc to $6.15.
The ITO to 140 pound pigs were
ready sellers at 81 to $7.25 but the
market was very slow on pigs under
those weights at Sc TO $3.50.
AS long as the big packers can con-
tinue to buy hogs at Chicago and
other markets 40c to SOC per hundred
cheaper than they can at st. Louis,
it is only natural to expect that they
will do so. They have bought but
few hogs on the market the past few
days. However, with Eastern orders
of good volume it is offsetting to a
considerable extent the "big stick"
that packers are trying to weld.
Today's cattle run of $500 head
sold fairly active Butcher cattle and
stock steers equally as good as yes
terday or the close of last week but
due to a generous proportion Of fat
steers they sold fully 10c lower than
any time since last Friday.
A small supply of 700 sheep sold
at steady prices today. Choice, wool
lambs quotable at $9.75 to $40; good
to choice ewes $3.50 to So; choice,
yearling wethers $3.50 to SO; bucks
$3.50 to $6.75; clipped lambs So to
$3.50, and clipped yearlings $3.50 to
$7.75.
Yours very truly,

TO THE CITIZENS OF ST. FRAN
co.'s COUNTY.

The Forty Eighth General Assem-
bly, passed into history Sunday after
noon at 3:15. / wish to write you in
this closing letter about some of the
most important measures that passed
and some of the bills that were de-
feated.
The appropriation bills are natur-
ally the most important measures to
pass any General Assembly. These
measures were amended so much dur
ing the last hours of the session that
it is impossible to say much as to the
total amount.
Several increase bills passed this
session, raising the salaries of Su-
preme Court Judges, Appellate Judg
es, Circuit Clerks, Guards at the Pen
itentiary, and good many measures
of like nature were defeated.
Very few of the so-called "New Job
Bills" passed, being killed in the Sen
ate after receiving favorable action
on the part of the House. Just few
bills of this nature that went down to
defeat were the State Auditing Bill,
Hay & Grain Bill, Dairy Bill and Ru-
raj School Inspection Bill.
Some of the bills of Importance to
pass were:-
State Bank. Bill, calling for gen
eral revision of the banking laws, and
measure very favorable to the city
banks.
! A bill, creating commission for the
blind, and measure that will bring
good results along this line Of work.
A bill, enlarging the powers of the
Rolla School of Mines in the issuance
of degrees.
A measure, providing for the organ
ization of mutual insurance companies.
A very good bill, authorizing conuty
courts and cities to employ trained
nurses and to appropriate money to
prevent the spread Of tuberculosis.
Creating Missouri Land Bank,
but this measure cannot become eff
fective without an amendment to the
constitution, which will likely be vot-
ed upon at the next general election.
The women police bill.
The blacksmith lien bill.
Reformatory bill for first Offend
ers.
Penitentiary Contract Bill, renewing
contracts until Dec. 81, 1916, provid-
ing for the general employment of
convicts by the State.
The Fish and Game Bill.
With the closing of the session,
/ died all the dry measures due to the
failure of the Senate to act upon them,
Other measures that failed were all
the Dog Bills, railroad rate measure,
the code bills, workmen's compensa-
ton, and nearly all of the so-called
"Social Betterment Program"
The best that can be said of this
session of the Legislature, is that its
sins were chiefly of commission, rather
than of commission. Something Ike
1000 bills were introduced to this
General Assembly. and only about SO
Senate and 80 House bills passed.
The only consoling reflection is, that
the General Assembly might have
done worse.
Sincerely yours,
ARTHUR P. GRAY.

EULOGY OF A GREAT BENEFAC.
TOR, WHO FOR 40 YEARS SHED
SUNSHINE, PEACE AND
THRILLS OF PLEASURE
IN THE SOULS
OF MEN


1t is apparent to us from the diff
ferent articles recently printed in our
local papers that a growing interest
is developing in the minds of the pub
lie of st. Francois County, respecting
the claims of Hon. F. P. Graves
against the st. Joe Lead Co.
AS loyal, staunch friends of the
above gentleman, we are glad of the
privilege to record our approval of
every efsahendation expressed in his
favor; Notwithstanding that it has
been whispered around that the sub
ject is receiving too much considera-
ton. 1t is our unbiased opinion that
half the good qualities and unpar-
allied deeds of charity performed by
Mr.. Graves never will be told; nor
can any of his numerous benefactors
too highly extoll his praises; for he
is Christian gentleman, who never
let his left hand know what his right
did. He has been a Peer among men
in the economical, industrial, politi-
cal and religious life of the communi-
ty.
Mr. Graves came to this county 40
years ago with his beloved uncle, the
late R. C. Parsons, when it was SIM
ply wilderness, and by their skill,
energy and indomitable pluck, they
turned it into garden of beauty and
bee hive of industry Now we have,
as the fruits of their labor, county
second to none in the world. This
phenomenal change enhanced the val
ue of all real property from 100 per
cent to 1000 per cent.
Besides, during all of Mr., Graves
palmy days, he never ceased to be a
true, loyal Plebian. Being born of
humble parents, nature compelled him
to earn his living by the sweat of his
brow. Is it, therefore, any wonder
that his profound sympathy was al
ways with the horny-handed toiler
who made living by descending into
the bowels of the earth for the pur-
pose Of increasing national industry
and commerce?
To enumerate the numberless acts
of charity and kindnesses performed
J,,.,:,,s. A. I,fo of M, Cpavoc t.yoT,td
fill g volume of interesting readings.
Here we might pause and ask;-Can
the recipients of these numberless,
benefcent acts ever forget the bene-
factors gratitude so beautifully ex-
emplifed even in the lower animal
creation, for the dog will lick the
wounded and bruised hand Of his mas
ter. Surely at this unfortunate per-
iod of Mr.. Graves life, his former
friends and benefciaries will not with
hold their sympathies, and extend to
him a glad hand. To disapprove Of
Mr. Graves loyal friends expressing
their admiration for him in the public
press is like tearing the crutch out
If the hands Of lame man. In the
runshine of life his friends were like
he summer fv in number, and now
n the days Of his adversity, the car
buncles, parasites and leeches are no.
where to be found. but the working
men Of this county are still his loyal
and steadfast friends.
We arc Convinced that if Mr.,
Graves just ard righteous cause was

MR.. GEO. MILLER PASSES AWAY

just as we are about to go to press,
word comes Of the death Of Mr.. Geo.
Miller. He died about noon Thurs
day from stroke of paralysis. He
was highly respected citizen of this
community, having spent the most of
his seventy-three years in and about
Pennington. He leaves host of rel
atives and friends to mourn his sud-
den departure. and The Times sim
cerely sympathizes with them in their
sorrow.
