VERY SUCCESSFUL
MEETING

The debate between teams
from the Literary SocAsty OF
Flat River and the Society at
Harrington, which was held
last Friday night at the High
School Auditorium, drew a
crowded house as usual, and
proved one of the most interest
ing programs of the year. All
of the debaters participating
we're exceptionally well received,
and the judges admitted extreme
difficulty in reaching a decision.
But the affirmative side, handled
by the Flat River debaters, won
the decision.
This debate was the first of a
series of three, to be held at in
tervals, the second in the series
being staged at Flat River, at
some time favored by both So
cieties.
The music rendered by Mr.
Covers Pennington Young Peo-
ple's Orchestra enlivened the oc.
casion and delighted the audi.
ence. Mr.. Cover has his young,
sters playing like veterans
though some of them have haC
only a few weeks experience II
orchestra work.
The progam committee has ar
ranged the following program

]. C. ALEXANDER & SONS
CREAMERY DESTROYED
BY FIRE

Fire consumed the Creamery
owned by j. c. Alexander & Son
of Pennington Tuesday morning
of this week. The origin of the
fire is unknown. 1t is thought
that, perhaps, the electric wires
which pass through the attic
and into the refrigerator had
been worn bare by the vibrations
of the frame structure, as the
machinery, when in motion, oc-
casioned vibrating movement
which it is supposed may have
worn through the insulation,
thus inducing fire.
The loss is total and amounts
to approximately $3700.00 with
insurance to cover $1500.00 of
the value. The fire was discov-
cred by member of the family
about 7:10 a. m. of that day,
while eating breakfast. How
long the fire had been in prog
ress or when it first started are
unknown.

Louis, spent Saturday in Farm
ington. Mr.. Moore is. a clever
fellow and has many friends in
this section of the State, who
were proud to know of his ap-

Girardeau and Hannibal and
states that he had never seen
brighter prospects for Demo

tested at these great meetings,
He freely expressed the be-
lief that Democracy would again
triumph, not only in the Nation,
but also in this State, at the ap-

SOIL SURVEY OF PARTS OF
ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY

Messrs. G. E. Deardorff, H. H.
Krusekoff and E. w. Knobel are
making a soil survey of parts of
st. Francois County. They have
been in the vicinity of this city
for several days and from here
they go to the Bonne Terre
neighborhood.
The object is to gather suffi-
cient data to enable the making
of an accurate soil map of this
section. The intention of the
project is to give in tabulated
form the soils of each section,
scientifically classified as to pro-
ductivity and adaptability to
the growth of the various ce-
erals and vegetables.
A map of this character would
undoubtedly be of vast impor-
tance to the farmers and te
those interested in the qualities
of the soil of particular sec.
tion Of the county.

SHOOTING SCRAPE OCCURS
IN FEDERAL RY. YARDS

Last Friday Dick Newman
and Elmer Baker, both employees
of the Federal Lead Co., as Con-
ductors on the railway Of the
Company, had a set-to in which
Baker is reported to have adj
ministered to Newman fog
ging. On the next morning they
ran together again for another
combat; but Baker in the mean
time had armed himself prepar-
atory for the impending conflict,
and when attacted proceeded to
use a pistol, shooting Newman
in the right side of the breast.
The shot proved to be slight,
not infiicting any serious injury.
The bullet passed through New
mans coat and through his vest
to the lining, lodging there. The
force of the projectile, it seems,
was such as to bruise the flesh
, and shatter a rib, but not suffi-
cient to pass through into the
body, as it stopped between the
lining and the exterior of his
vest.

OZARK UNIVERSITIES FAST
TEAM TOO MUCH FOR
BONNIE TERRE ATH-
LETIC CLUBS
BUNCH

ed QUITO University Field last
Saturday to witness the game
between the Ozark Business
University and the Bonne Terre
Athletic Club, were treated to
one of the best games played on
a local gridiron in the past few
years. n
A forward pass in the second
quarter, cleverly hurled by
Wichman from the fifteen yard
line across the Bonne Terre goal
line into the waiting arms of
Capt. Halter, gave the Ozark
boys the long end of 7 to O
score. Capt. Halter kicking an
easy goal.
Ozark kicked off, Turley re-
ceiving the kick, ran through
the entire Ozark team and was
| headed for the goal line with an
open field ahead. Evidently,
"Pee Wee" Mockbee thought
Turleyswas rushing things lit
tie too fast, for he raced after
Turley, and when within about
a foot of him, made one of the
prettiest tackles from behind we
have ever seen. 1t was a beaut.
However, Turley had gone out Of
bounds at about the forty-five
yard line, and the ball was
brought back and put in plat at
that point. During that quar-
ter of the game, the ball changed
hands several times, both teams
making some good gains, but
neither could develop a scoring
punch.
During the second quarter the
Ozark team, by clever end runs
and line plunges, carried the ball
to the Bonne Terre fifteen yard
line, from which place Wichman
made the forward pass to Hal
ter, which gave them their
touchdown.
During the second and third
quarters both teams played hard
and neither was able to score.
A few minutes before the end of
the fourth quarter, Bonne Terre
succeeded in reaching Ozark's
seven yard line, but there they
were held, after making three
efforts at the Ozark line and
> ends and failing to complete ar
attempted forward pass.
E Every man on the Ozark team
