SPLITTING ON THE SIDEWALKS

Here lately we have noticed that a
great many people in this small city
seem to take the sidewalk for a spit
toon. They are very greatly mistak-
en- and if the annoyance is not stopped
soon, they are liable to find out their
mistake to their cost. There is an or
dinance providing penalty for this
and we understand that the present
administration are going to enforce
this law. While we are speaking of
laws and ordinances, we might men
tion that it is against the laws of
Pennington to ride bicycle or use
roller skates on the sidewalks, yet it
is being done and in some parts of
the town it is becoming quite a nui-
sance. A word to the wise you
know!

PROMINENT BUSINESS
MAN PASSES AWAY
HIS GENEROSITY TO DESERVING
LITTLE KNOWN.

John Andrew Holmes died Thurs
day, April 18th, 1915, and was buried
in Bellefountain Cemetery on Satur-
day afternoon.
The directors of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair adopted the following
resolutions concerning Mr.. Holmes:
John A. Holmes was one of six
directors who formed the Grounds
and Building Committee of the Lou
isian Exposition. The arduous du-
ties of that committee began nearly
three years before the opening of
the Worlds Fair. They called for
careful consideration of all construc-
tion plans. They required the draw
ing and award of 300 contracts in
volving the expenditure of $17,00O,-
900. Problems in labor relation arose
frequently. During considerable
periods the committee met daily to
pass upon countless details of the
building of the Exposition.
1t is to the enduring credit Of the
Committee on Grounds and Build
ings that at no time was there ces-
sation of work on account of disagree
ment between labor and the Exposi-
tion management. In no single in
stance was the judgment of the Com
mittee upon construction matters
found in fault by the Executive Com
mittee; the Board Of Directors or the
supervising officers of the United
States Government.
John A. Holmes, with chairman
William H. Thompson, Vice Chair
man Samuel M. Kennard, and the
other members of the Committee
shared in the honors of this admirable
record.
His fellow-directors in this tribute
to his memory recall not only the
pleasant association with John A.
Holmes during the Exposition years,
but bear willing and grateful testi-
mony to the very important service
he pexesnaed iigts4e hailding of the
Expositicn.-St L. Republic.
A mans life is not measured by the
span between birth and death, nor by
the amount of money he has been en-
abled to accumulate. Expressed in
another way: mans life is not
measured by what he got out of life,
but by what he put into life. This
means: How did he live at home?
What did his wife and children think
of him? What did his business asso-
ciates and employees think of him?
What did his neighbors and friends
think of him? What did he, without
ostentation, do to help the poor and
needy?
Measured by these tests, the life
of John Andrew Holmes was sue
cess His wife and family adored
him for his true worth, and his going
away has cleft an aching void that
the world cannot fill" everyone with
whom he came in contact in busi-
ness way stated during his life and
testified after his death, that nobler,
more true-hearted man never was it
their good fortune to associate with;
he gave freely and largely, but this
was done without announcing it from
the housetops or putting it in the
daily press; he, his family and his
Maker only knew of it.
Very truly it may be said, that on
ly the Judgment day will reveal the
great influence for good he did be-
tween birth and death. Upon his
gravestone may be truly written:
Here lies the form, who in life was
a man, in death a hero, in eternity
brother of Christ"

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES


Rev DuBose delivered an inspiring
and timely address in the High School
during the chapel period on Monday
morning. His subject was, "Sell-
ing Out Cheaply."
Prof. Fred Erion, State High School
Inspector, visited the, High School on
Tuesday of this week. His report to
the Committee will determine the
standing of the school, and will be re-
ceived within few weeks.
The st. Francois County Declama-
tory Contest will be held in the Audi
torium Of the High School on Satur-
day night. Contestants from all the
High Schools in the county will COM
pete, and an interesting program is
assured. In many cases the contest
ants will be accompanied by large and
enthusiastic delegations Of Supporters.
The people of Pennington should at
tend this contest and enjoy, the great
Declamatory game among well train
ed contestants.
The Kedyro, the High School annu-
al, is we'll under way and promises to
be very interesting volume. Myers
Mayberry is editor-in-chief, and Vim.
O'Sullivan, Jr., is business manager.
The press work is being done by The
Pennington News, Parties wishing
copies of this very entertaining pub
LEGATION should engage them at an ear
ly date since but limited number
will be issued.
Pennington will probably graduate
the largest class from the High School
this year that has ever been graduated
in the history of the school. Twenty
one pupils are in the senior class with
fair prospects of graduation the last
of May
The graduating exercises will be
held on Thursday night, May 9th,
and Rev. Jenkins Of jackson, Mo-,
will deliver the class, address. The
baccalaureate sermon will be preached
at the Presbyterian church on Sunday,
May 23rd, by Rev. DuBose. The class
is composed of the following pupils;
Park Bleeck, Opal Evans, Lille Cru
ner, Bryan Halter, Floyd Halter, Rem
dali Holland, Wesley Hoy, Vesta Lon
don, Myers Mayberry, Carson Morris,
Bernice Mccarthy, Meryl Mccarthy,
Bryan Murrill, Eugene Orten, VIM.
O'Sullivan, Jr., Glenwopd Pipkin, An
ma Putnam, Lurenei iTetley, Lionel
Tetley, Marie Thomson, and Ellen
Westover.
The success Of next school term
depends very greatly upon the dispo-
sition of the tax levy proposition to
be voted upon in Saturdays special
election. Those who want their chill
dren to have the advantage of more
than five or six months school
should rally to man to the support
of the levy. Pennington cannot ex
pect to keep pace with other towns in
this section without properly support
ing her public schools. If Bismarck
continues her present liberal school
policy for few years that fair city
will become a strong rival Of Farm
ington as a residence city, and her
progressive citizens know it. It be-
hooves every property owner to pro-
tect his own interests by voting for
the levy.

| placed in authority in the mines here;
about the first thing he did was to
I'discharge number of the oldest em-
ployees, including one in particular,
of the miners whom / referred to
above as having loaned his savings
to the company in their day of need,
but of course he was restored to his
job when he went to Mr.. c. B. Par
sons. No such proceedings as that
were ever tolerated by Messrs. G. b.
Parsons, f. p. Graves or any of the
old management Of the company So
that we employees Of former years
were never alarmed, while the mod
ern' fellows were being broken into
the service of the company; for we
knew the managers of the company
were our friends, and it was this char
acter of friendship and feeling that
existed between employer and en-
ployee that in former years made the
affairs of the st. Joseph Lead Co. and
the Doe Run Co. move along SO
smoothly and agreeably, there was
satisfaction on every hand, the COM
panies were making money, the em-
ployees were making good livings,
were happy and such thing as union
or strike was unneeded and unthought
of.
To-day there is unrest on every
hand, the trusted and tried employee
of former years is turned out to strug-
gle as best he can; there is no one to
whom he can appeal; for the present
management could not wait for the
passing of F. P. Graves, who is the
last of the cold school,. He has been
turned by the way side along with the
rest, and the reckless desire to main
tain high salaries and luxury unlim-
tied, for large ehore of officers and
assistants has been so zealously
guarded that a man like Mr.. Robert
Holmes has even been turned out of
the board of directors. And why is
he turned out? Because he has stud
led, weighed and sought to apply
some of the methods of economy and
fair dealing of the old management,
and these methods would grievously
interfere with the policies Of the pres
ent management, some Of which are
so expensive and reckless as will prove
to. be disastrous if continued.
] hope for the company and for the
community in which / live that the
present management will see the err
ror of many of their policies and that
they may profit by ideas and move
ments suggested by Mr.. Holmes in the
past two years that have already got
ten results. And if there is more CO.
operation with Mr.. Holmes there will
be return to days of prosperity and
harmony both to company and en-
ployee. 1t certainly cannot be said
that Mr.. Holmes has antagonized cer-
tain individuals and their methods for
the sake of antagonism only, but as
we believe, any reasonable person
with money invested would do, he has
worked for the best interests of all
parties concerned.

Good Address.

Joseph E. Widener, the millionaire
sportsman, was talking in Newport
about homes.
Philadelphia is the city of homes
he said, but if your home is north
of Market street you are considered,
socially speaking, out of it. Your
home must be south of Market street
you must live downtown-if you
would be social personality in Phila-
delphia."
And yet, after all" said an English
man, what difference does it make
where a man lives?"
1T makes all the difference in the
world" said Mr.. Widener. "a fact
that is well remembered about Dr.
ogenes today is that he lived in a
tub"

cumm1n, pepper, mustard seed, gin
ger, cardamon, chillies, mace, cloves,
poppy seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, SAT-
cayenne pepper, cocoanut, milk and
oil, as well as many of the native
fruits. Rice and chutney are an invari.
able accompaniment to curry. One
of the most important things to re-
member in using the prepared curry
is to cook it with the ingredients, or
the dish will be fiat and tasteless.
Curried Lamb.-Remove the bones
from two pounds of the neck of lamb
and divide into neat squares about an
inch; fry them brown in hot fat, take
out the meat and add two chopped
onions, one chopped apple, one and
a half tablespoonfuls of curry pow
der, three tablespoonful of chopped
cocoanut, one teaspoonful of sugar,
a quarter of cupful of milk, and the
same of good stock, and the pieces
Of lamb Cook slowly for an hour,
remove the fat, add a teaspoonful of
salt and tablespoonful of lemon
juice. Serve in the center Of plat
ter with the sauce poured around it,
and garnish with boiled rice.
Chicken Curry.-Cut up a plump
young broiler and fry brown in hot
olive oil. Remove from the frying
pan and place in the oven. Mix to-
gether two tablespoonfuls each Of
flour and curry powder, then add
gradually cupful of good stock. Fry
two sliced onions In the hot fat, add
the prepared stock, cook for five min
utes, then turn in the chicken. Cover
and allow to simmer fifteen minutes.
Serve hot with boiled rice. If the
sauce seems too thick, add little
more stock. The dish should be thick
and hot when served. Curry sauce is
good with cold meats and makes an
agreeable change in serving them.

from the small sketch at top, it is just
straight band of material. which
might match the skirt, and can be
lined or not, according to strength
needed; it is bound all round with
narrow ribbon and Is buttoned in front
or might be fixed with press studs.
The envelope pockets are sewed on
and have buttoned-over flaps. The top
of the band could be fixed to skirt by
small safety pins or small press studs
The half of a stud sewed each side

POCKETS THAT ARE HANDY
Travellers VIII Appreciate the Com
fort That is Afforded by These
Appliances.

When travelling, a couple Of roomy
pockets that are quite safe yet easily
got at are great boon, and If made
as shown on sort of deep band, they
can be worn under the travelling coat
without showing. as it is usually loose,
or might even be put under the skirt,
and unless anything very bulky was
put in would not much disarrange the
set of the skirt
