TELLING US HOW

There is nothing more irritating
to the people of small town than the
air of superiority that people from
larger towns have towards them and
their village. 1t is hard to say just
what prompts the city man to feel
greater than the villager, but he al
most invariably does, and what makes
it worse, shows it in his actions.
1t is the weakness of city people,
this belief of theirs that country peo-
pie are back numbers, The man
from a city concern pays the country
business man a visit and shwos plain
ly that he considers the little mer-
chant very small potato; but if he
were wise enough to realize the truth
of their respective businesses, he
would know that the back number
merchant, as he looks upon him, is
laying by each year more than the
city chap is drawing as hired man
from company that could find a
thousand like him in days time.
The narrow-brained lecturer drops
into the small town, and at the be-
ginning Of his talk, mentioned that he
has changed his subject ''for fear the
one announced would be over the
heads of his audience" and then pro-
ceeds to ramble along for couple of
hours with stale stories and discon-
nected ideas, boring his audience half
to death

IN OLD MISSOURI

We are today in receipt of an au-
tographed copy of "In Old Missouri"
by Gus Kahn and Egbert Van Alstyne,
whom you will recognize as being two
of Americas foremost song writer's.
They have such hits to their credit as:
"Shade of the Old Apple Tree" Gee
/ Wish l had Girl" "I'm Afraid to
Go Home in the Dark" "In Dear Old
Georgia" "That Old Girl of Mine,
Sunshine and Roses" Cheyenne" F"
"San Antonio" WRAP Me in a Bu-
die" and many others.
The lyric is full of sentiment and is
sure to bring back the fond memories
If boyhood and girlhood days an Old
Missouri" The melody fits the lyric
and is of that simple and flowing kind
which is bound to reach the masses
and become endeared to their hearts.
Mr.. Van Alstyne, the composer of
the melody, spent his boyhood days
in Hannibal, Missouri, and received
his inspiration for this song from the
memories of those days.
We think this song has all the ear
marks of Nationwide hit. For
sale by all news dealers.

UP TO THE COUNTRY VOTER

Will the town and country people
of Missouri have clean state cleo
lions in Kansas City and st. Louis :?
1t is up to them.
A legislative bill for honesty in the
state primaries and state elections in
the two big cities is before the Mis-
souri, Legislature now. The votes of
the country members in the Legisla-
ture will enact that honest bill or de-
feat it.
The folks back home should see that
their representatives and senator's
vote for it.
The country press has its great OPP
portunity to get honest elections for
the whole state.
The city politicians aren't going to
enact that bill if they can help it.
They are not going to give it their
club over the country voters if they
can help it.
Unless the country people and news
papers get busy, the bill will fail, and
the honest country voters will go up
against the fraud workers in the city
in the primaries and elections of 1916.
Governor Majors election commits
sioners democrats and Republicans)
are asking for the bill. Under the
law as it is now they say they are
powerless to prevent fraud. With the
enactment of the pending bill they
say they can prevent it and give the
state honest elections.---Kansas City

THE YARDS ARE
AGAIN QUARANTINED

What we least expected has taken
place. The Natioal Stock Yards has
again been quarantined by the Federal
Government. The following telegram
to DR.. Bertram, the Inspector in
charge, tells the story:
"Swine shipped from National
Stock Yards, ILL.,, car 109s7 MISC, con-
signed to Packing Co., Baltimore, Md,
found infected with Foot and Mouth
Disease upon arrival today. Inter
state shipments from National Stock
Yards for any purpose aFe prohibit
ed until further notice"
This places the yards under the
same restrictions as during the first
quarantine placed some time ago.
It's affect is this: all live stock shipped
to this market will now have to be
sold to local packers alone-abso-
lutely nothing can be shipped out of
the yards.
With competition restricted to the
big packers, big supply will demor-
alize the market, Even normal re-
ceipts will place the trade in bad
shape.
UNTIL WE NOTIFY YOU, do not
ship any cattle or hogs to market
Ship your sheep. We will keep you
closely posted on definite develop
ments.
Cattle market slow and about steady
today though best fat stees closed
10c to 15c lower. Hog trade 10C
lower; top $7O5. Sheep trade 1Ot
higher; top lambs $3.50; fat sheer
$3.50.
The above notice was not received
until the market had closed today
Had it been received in time, market
conditions would undoubtedly beer
much meaner.

BACK TO THE FARM

Go to the FARM. Don't depend on
shattered public works to raise and
educate your FAMILY. If you do,
you are depending on a broken stick,
Buy yourself a small FARM and
be your own boss. See MERRILL
PIPKIN at once and make a start
this spring to raise poultry, grain
and stock and thus lay the founda-
tion of happiness and prosperity for
your self and family. Pipkin has Sc
farms to sell very cheap. Write him
today at Pennington, Mo. Or better
still, come and see him. He will
show you the farm you need and tell
you all the particulars.

these FARMS on page eight of this

OBITUARY

Chistina Pearl, little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleve Nolan, was born
November II, 1910, died December 26,
1914, age 4 years, month and 9 days,
of throat trouble, at their home near
Bellvue. She was laid to rest in the
Leadwood cemetery. All that low
ing hands could do was done but God
knew best. Little Christina was like
a flower budded on earth to bloom in
heaven. She leaves father, mother,
and two brothers and a host of rela-
tives and friends to mourn her death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nolan formerly lived at
Leadwood.
To four years her smiles were given
And then she bid farewell to earth
and went to live in heaven.
cannot tell what form is hers;
What look she weareth now,
Nor guess how bright a glory crowns
Her shining seraph brow.
The thoughts that fill her sinless
soul,
The bliss which she doth feel
Are numbered with the secret things
Which God will not reveal N. D

Planting Cabbage
A few years ago the Herald re-
ceived an advertising proposition
from cabbage plant grower on Yon-
ges Island, South Carolina, and en-
tered into a contract with them to
take so many thousand plants in ex-
change for certain amount Of adver-
tising. We believe the first year we
contracted for 10000, but we remem-
Der, on account of the overflow, we
did not use the entire amount. The
following year we entered into an
other contract for larger number,
and again did not use the amount due
us. From the first we interested
John 7. Buckley in the business, plac-
ing the plants with him, and each
year he increased his planting, until
last year he was shipping cabbage to
several points, after supplying the
home merchants. The cabbage are
very early, can be set out in the open
as early as January or February, are
hardy, frost-proof, and mature before
the warm summer months, in fact, be-
fore the cabbage worm begins to work
to any extent.
From the small beginning, the cab
bage industry here has grown, until
last week Mr.. Buckley had ordered
$4,000 plants, some of his customers
being Esq. F. M. Gwin, 5000; T. P.
Russell, 5000, and Mr.. Buckley will
plant 5000 Besides these, John
Fields, P. S. Ravenstein, Barney
Stockmsnn, G. B. Webb, "Horse"
Thompson, Mrs. Edith R. King, Chas.
H. Wells and others are planting this
cabbage. This means that Hayti
will develop into cabbage shipping
point this year, and some nice returns
for the SMALL expenditure and labor
will be received. BY the way, have
any of you tried common salt as
cabbage fertilizer?

FLORIDA FRUIT


Mr.. L. B. Hise of Lakeworth, Fla,
who formerly lived at Flat River,
surprised his friend, Mr. Port Aubu-
chon Of Flat River, by sending him a
large orange box ciiuck full of Flor
ida's finest fruits.
Mr.. Aubuchon was highly pleased
to receive such treat from his old
friend, Mr.. Hise. He thoughtfully
remembered The Times and left a
couple Of fine specimens of grape and
orange fruit with the editor, which
is now on exhibitionin The Times Of
flee. Mr.. Aubuchon stated that his
friend, Hise, was highly pleased with
the Sunny South and had invested ex-
tensively in real estate near Lake
worth. Florida's fruits, we must adj
NIT, are really appetizing and good
as the best if these specimens are of
the average yield.

AN ANNUAL EVENT

The 18th day Of February was re-
garded by our progenitors as Ground
Hogs Day and only in recent years
has the End been partially established
as such.
One of our first citizens, Mr.. ]. L
Counts, still persists in regarding the
14th as the day in which sunshine OF
shade determines the weather for the
succeeding 40 days and gives this day
a remarkable distinction by desig-
mating it as Subscription Day, it hav-
ing been his custom for many years
to call at The Times Office on this day
and leave with the editor $4.00 for a
yearly subscriptions, Viz: Mrs. Cora
B. Harter of R. F. D. No. 3, Farm
ington, Mo-, his daughter; Mr.. F. j.
Counts of Bonne Terre, Mo-, his son;
Mr.. L. M. Counts of Colorado Springs,
Colo, his son, and Mr.. ]. L, Counts
himself of Pennington, Mo.
The 18th falling on Sunday this
year, Mr.. Counts came in day or
two earlier but had the 4 subscrip-
tions dated ahead to the 14th.
And feature worthy of note in
this connection and which we were
about to forget to mention is that
Mr.. Counts always keeps his sub
scriptions paid year in advance.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Coles room made the !
per cent of attendance for the 21st
week of school, and Miss Sackman's
room was second, having respective
ly 1851 and 97.77. The average for
the week was 94.27.
Complete arrangements have been
made for the inter-high school de-
bate between Fredericktown and
Pennington high schools, in Farming
ton on Friday night, February 26th
Superintendents 0. j. Matthias of Ste.
Genevieve, Elmer B. Brown Of Bonne
Terre, and J. E. Howard Of Desloge
have been selected as judges by the
competing schools. The debate will
be held in the Auditorium of the High
School and the public is most cordi-
ally invited to attend. An admis-
sion of 10 cents will be charged in
order to defray the expenses incurred
by getting judges from out of town.
A department badly needed in the
Pennington schools is that of Do
mestic Art and Domestic Science,
for the purpose of training the girls
of the community for competent
housekeeping. Bonne Terre, Flat
River, De Soto and Fredericktown all
have such departments and would not
think of being considered progress
sive in educational matters if they
did not provide for such instruction,
The question has been often asked,
"Why does Pennington not have such
course in her public schools ?" The
answer is simply this: the school man
agement cannot provide the necessary
equipment and expense of such de-
partment at the present levy for
school purposes. Pennington has a
levy of $1,25 per $4,000 valuation,
while Bismarck has levy of S1.50,
Elvins $1.80, Esther s2.25, Deslege
S1.65, Flat River $1.55 and Leadwood
$1.40. Yet Pennington boasts Of be-
ing "a city of churhces and schools" +"
The total assessed valuation of prop
erty in Pennington school district
is $1,1O3, ,548.00, The addition of a
few cents per $4,000 valuation will
provide ample means to install a
strong department Of Domestic
Science and Domesic Art and provide
the growing girls of the community
the kind of instruction they most need.
Visitors to the Famington High School
are simply astonished that we have
no domestic science in our schools.
Talk about it to your friends then
tell the Board of Education how you
feel about it. They are anxious to
have the good work begin.
The Sikeston Basket Ball Team de-
feated the local H. S. team here Sat-
urday night by the narrow margin of
21 to 20, in one of prettiest, fastest,
and cleanest games ever seen in the
county. The Sikeston boys were a
husky bunch of excellent sportsmen
and it is hoped that our boys win have
another opportunity to meet them be-
fore the season closes.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF St Joseph Lead Company-Rob-
ert Holmes Greatly Encouraged by
Result.

At the meeting Of the stockholders
of the ST. Joseph Lead Company, held
in New York on Monday, February
Is, 1915, to elect members of the
Board of Directors of this Company
we are reliably informed that the
following vote was had: There were
three hundred and twenty-eight stock
holders voted for the Crane ticket;
two hundred and twenty-one stock
holders voted for the Holmes ticket;
and two hundred and thirty-one stock
holders did not vote for either ticket;
and many of those who did not vote
openly approved of the course taken
by Mr.. Holmes. And we are further
informed that the letter of our fell
low townsman, Mr.. F. P. Graves, was
in large measure responsible for
the fine showing made by Mr.. Holmes,
and that Mr.. Holmes is greatly en-
couraged and will continue his invest
igations and push his contest, which
he and many of the other stockholders
believe is for the best interest of the
company; and that Mr.. Holmes, with
the influence and votes of the many
friendly stockholders who are con-
stantly being added to his cause, will
finally win this meritorious contest.

FRAUD REPORTED

From different parts of the coun-
try comes stories of a swindle sue
cessfully worked on farmers who
thought they were going to get cheap
groceries. The smooth strangers
went through the communities taking
orders for d house in Chicago, pretend
ing to sell standard brand of sugar
and -four SO cheapiy that every farm
er visited took from $40 to $50 worth,
and other goods besides. Because of
the low prices, the -four and sugar
had to be paid for in advance. 1t is al
legged that in one community the
swindlers picked up some $4,000 and
no groceries delivered. Be on the
lookout for such fakes.
