Still Winning

The Desloge Sun recently gave q
very complimentary notice of one of
Desloge's worthy young women, Miss
Mamie Wheeler, who had at that time
won first honors in typewriting con-
test in the Ozark University, where
she enrolled as student in the short
hand and typewriting departments
last September.
In the weekly University notes, we
have observed that this same young
lady has been the regular winner in
her division, so upon inquiry, we FIND
that this striving to excel in type
writing is to win fine Gold Medal
offered by Profs. Moothart and Kin
der to the student making the best
record on the typewriter in accuracy
and speed, covering a period of about
three months, that is, twelve weekly
contests.
While Miss Wheeler has at present
slight lead, she is being closely
pressed by three or four others, one
being Miss Augusta Lawrence, who
has already won some first honors in
her division, and is coming rapidly in
both speed and accuracy, so that the
remainder of the contest will evil
IDENTIFY become more exciting as it pro-
crosses from week to week.
Miss Wheeler's record for accuracy
last Friday, is probably the best ever
attained by any regular shorthand
student, considering the time she has
been in school. She wrote in five
minutes, 221 words, new matter, with
only one error. We shall watch the
outcome of this friendly contest with
special interest, and hope to give at
its close writeup and photo of the
honored winner.
We understand also that the Rem.
ington Typewriter Co. is offering
some medals to users of it's machine,
and doubtless some of these young
people will also win laurels and
awards offered by said company

Mr.. Pool, who is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Secretary
of State, spent a few hours in Farm
ington last Friday, and he surely did
meet some people. He is "some mix
err" and never meets a stranger. If
he runs as well as he mixes, ne will
probably have clear track against
any ordinary competition. "Kelly"
Pool is the genial and versatile edi-
tor of the Centralia Courier, and one
of the principal assets of that place.
He denies, however, that the game of
"kelly pool" was named after him.
In fact, he claims to know nothing
about the game of pool. However,
his ignorance in that regard will
probably prove no serious handicap to
him in his race for Secretary of State.

CUT OUT THE BLIGHT

In times past it was the privi-
lege, also the pleasure, to regard Of
fee holding as public trust. In
those days public Office was also be-
slowed and accepted upon such by
pothesis. Modern methods, however,
appear to have rung in many changes
to the plans originally mapped out,
and now, in altogether too many cas-
es, public Office is regarded and used
as a private snap" just as far as
the traffic" will Standard then
some-very often.
If there is one species of "bull con-,
above another, that fills The Times
editor with unutterable disgust it is
the plant that is now so frequntly
being urged that II am making a
personal sacrifice in order to serve
my constituency" that ~ could make
far more money by giving my time
to my private business or profess
sion," and that 81 am giving freely of
my time for the benefit / am render
ing to my fellow-man."
Such dashes of demagogy, flap
doodle and clap-trap are being used
entirely too freely these days, until
the people generally are coming to
see that they are being entirely "ov-
erworked." Even men in highest and
most responsible positions of public
trust are making speciality of such
fiap-doodle. They seem to think that
they can run such a bull" over the
people, and make them believe that
they really mean it when they wall
that public office and handsome sal
airy is in reality burden to them,
and that they could make more money
in their private business.
Now, The Times is of the opinion
that the voters generally do not want
any man, or set of men, to make per-

are ready and willing to pay for all
real services that may be rendered
them. In fact, there is a growing be-
lief that those in public service, who
are given to making such talk, per-
haps often neglect the duty they owe
to the public in figuring out the best
methods of working "both ends
against the middle for themselves.
We feel like warning all against the
methods of all public officials who are
forever putting up the pitiful plea
that their service to the public means
"a personal loss to themselves" They
will bear watching. In fact, we be-
lieve the best and safest plan to fol-
low with all such men is to return
them to private life.

The Senate has at last ratified the
long pending treaty with Nicaragua.
The treaty comprises benefcent
plan of protection for that little re-
public against its enemies and some
of our own rivals in the matter of
canal privileges. One of the most
important provisions of the treaty
gives the United States perpetual
rights in the Nicaragua Canal route
on payment of 100000, something
on which several European powers
have had envious eyes. The treaty
also grants the United States naval
bases on the Pacific side of Fonseca
Bay, whose waters are controlled
jointly by Nicaragua, Salvador and
Honduras; and on the Atlantic side
naval bases on Corn Islands, only
short distance from the Panama Ca

MUCH PROSPERITY
EVERYWHERE APPARENT

The Times editor enjoyed his first
trip into the county, since locating in
Pennington, on last Monday, when
he and his family made a quick run
over to Flat River and Desloge on
business, in which there was also
mixed considerable pleasure, as the
editor and family were delighted
with the scenes that hurried trip
brought into their range of vision.
The few miles to Flat River vanished
so quickly as to appear almost i'm
perceptible, causing US to feel that
the two places were practically join
ed, as are most of the towns in the
Lead Belt. Prosperity was every
where apparent, and the towns of
Flat River, st. Francois and Desloge
which to US were inseparable-all
appeared to be well kept and thriv-
ing communities.
The Federal and National mining
companies, whose properties we pass
ed enroute, are enormous concerns
that must be seen to be appreciated.
The great mountains of chat afford
an indication of the years that min
ing field has been operated, and the
question of how to dispose of the chat
has long been most vexing, and is still
unsolved.
But to us the appearance of the
country was particularly uplifting
with the fields showing advanced stage
of cultivation, and up-to-date inn
provements everywhere to be seen.
The roads also are a "joy forever,
being well graded with rock and
worn smooth.

is IT TIME?


We suppose it is time for the
Democratic press of the county
to tell us that the increase of
wages by the lead companies is
for the intimidation of voters.
That is what it says when they
happen to reduce forces or wages
during campaign year.-Bonne
Terre Register.
We don't remember a political cam
paign in which the lead companies Of
this county reduced wages, but otter
just before important elections we
have heard it rumored that if the
Democrats were successful the com
panies would have to reduce wages
or shut down, and nearly always af-
ter Republican victory wages were
reduced. It is unfortunate for Re-
publican sophists and "jokers" that
the largest prosperity that has ever
come to our local lead companies
should come under Democratic ai-
ministration.

DEATH OF MRS. ]. A. caves

DEATH OF MRS. ]. A. EAVES
Mrs. ]. A. Eaves died at her home
in Desloge Friday, February IL, 1916.
She was born in Tennessee December
26, 1874.
She was the mother of large
family. Among her children surviv-
ing her are Johnnie, Irwin and Elisha
of this city, Lee and Rolla and one son
who lives near Lewis, Kansas. The
funeral services were conducted at the
First Baptist Church Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock by Rev. J. w. Bays
of Leadwood, after which the remains
were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows
cemetery near st. Francois.
She ran the journy through life in
II years. 1t is a path marked with
deeds of kindness and cheer. Flowers
not thorns, sunshine, not shadow, did
she scatter everywhere. With these
she was lavish. Truth was the inspira-
ton of her life and by kindness she
exemplified its great worth.-Desloge
Sun.

B. A. Eaton of Flat River announc-
es this week as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Sheriff.
Mr. Eaton is son of Mr.. Jesse Eat
on of Desloge, one of our oldest and
best known citizens. The Eaton
family were pioneers of this county,
and have been living here since short
ly after the State was admitted into
the Union, and it has been uniformly
Democratic family. B. A. Eaton
worked for about % years for the
old Central, the Doe Run and St. Joe
Lead Companies, and is now engaged
in the automobile business at Flat
River. He has all his life been a la
boring man and has never asked for
office, but now thinks he would like
to serve as Sheriff. He is a kindly.
courteous and upright man, and is
well qualified for the position he
seeks. If nominated he would be a
strong man on the ticket, and if elect
ed would make a faithful and efficient
public officer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1
Prof. Thos. J. Talbert, extension
Lecturer in Entomology at the Uni
versity Of Missouri, gave a talk OF
"Insects Injurious to Farm Crops
Tuesday morning, and the valuabl,
information he impaired, in such /
practical and understandable man.
ner, was greatly appreciated by {
goodly attendance of farmers, anc
there is every reason to believe that
Prof. Talbert's talk of Tuesday morn
ing will be productive of great good
in this community.
In conversation, later in the day
with Times reporter, Prof. Talbert
spoke of this being the exact time
to checkmate the workings of the
canker Tor angle) worm. He stated
that it was in the latter part of Feb
ruary and first part of March that
they commenced their operations by
climbing trees to lay their eggs; that
they are especially drawn to elm, APP
pie, wild cherry and blackberry trees,
among which they can work great
damage, if permitted to go unmolest-
ed. And yet, he said, their ravages
could be easily checked, with little
work at this time,
He gave as a remedy for this pest
the following solution, for trees too
large for spraying, Wrap the trunk
of the tree, three or four feet from the
ground, with strip of cheap cotton
batting, three or four inches wide.
Over this wrap strip of building
paper, eight or ten inches wide; over
the paper spread a coat of tangle-
foot, coal tar, liquid glue, printers
ink or gummy or sticky solution. This
coating must not be permitted to dry
until about the last Of March, by
which time the egg-laying period of
these insects will be at an end. Such
treatment, Prof. Talbert says, will
positively forestall the harmful in
sects of these worms. But if the So
luton on the paper is permitted to
become at all dry, then a large num-
Der Of the worms may be able to
bridge over, so that some will be per-
mitted to ascend the tree.
In case spraying is desired, the
Professor gives the following formu-
la for that purpose, which he rec
ommends as certain death to all bug
pests: 2 1-2 to 8 pounds of arsenate
of lead to so gallons of water. Spray
ing should be done as the buds are
to open. One fortunate
thing about the canker worms is that,
while the males have wings, the fe-
males are wingless. If the points
set forth above are carried out Prof.
Talbert says no damage can result
from the canker worm.

1t seems that Walter S. Diekey of
Kansas City is not to have it all to
himself for the Republican nomination
for United States Senator. Thomas
]. Atkins of st. Louis has cast his
tile into the circle. He wants to uni
fly the G. o. p, draw all diverging
elements together and center on a
national head of the ticket that will
do this. In this connection he says /:
"0ur leaders seem to be interested
more in finding a man that can de-
feat Wilson than they are in the
name of the candidate" and he ap-
pears to be doubtful of the outcome.
He doesn't believe that Mr.. Dickey is
the man to help do this, but evident
ly believes that Mr.. Atkins is. He
fears, too, that because Mr.. Dickey
was born in Canada he may subcon-
sciously be little pro-ally and that
the German-Republican vote will
fight shy of him. Mr.. Atkins also
intimates that Mr.. Dickey isn't very
highly esteemed by organized labor
and would suffer at the polls on that
account. Well, it's the Republican
quarrel-let them fight it out; we
have troubles of our own.

was sustained by the farmers in any
way. In the city of New Madrid,
some expense was incurred to take

A LITTLE THING TO REMEMBER

Next to the governorship, Cornelius
Roach holds the most important posi-
ton in the State government of Mis-
souri, His Office is a great feeder of
the State Treasury, the licenser and
the legal whip of the great business
and corporate interests, and the COM
piler of vital facts in Missouri's life
and history.
Before Mr.. Roach took this impor-
tant office, he spent years getting in
timately acquainted with Missouri and
her people. He knows the State from
circumference to center, from Penis
cot to Ncdaway and from the Kansas
line to the Mississippi.
He attends strictly to his official
duties. He is content to serve the
people, rather than to follow the spot
light. His personal conduct is above
reproach. His official record is
straight as a die. l8'
There are other men who might
show up better in dress parade. There
are those who might get their pecu-
liarities, their vanities and their idi-
osyncrasies written up more volum-
inously in the city papers. But there
are no others now in the race for gov
ernor, who know one-half as much
about the official and work-a-day end
of the job as Cornelius Roach. Please
this when you consider the
governorship.-Lamar Democrat.

T. V. Brown announces this week
as candidate for the Democratic
nomination for County Recorder. Mr..
Brown has been resident of Farm
ington for the past thirty or more
years, is widely known throughout
the county and has many friends who
will give him warm support. He
has been serving for some time as
Deputy Sheriff under Sheriff J.. C.
Williams, and has made an efficient
and industrious officer. If he is nom
mated he may be expected to get
out and work for the whole ticket un-
til the last ballot is cast, and if elect
ed would give his whole attention to
the office of Recorder and see that
everything was kept in ship-shape
order. He solicits and will appreci-
ate the support of all Democrats at.

where there is baby will display the
flag at their door during the week
from March A to II.
Some of the purposes of Baby Week
is to bring to every Farmingtonian
the fact that it is sound civic eceno-
my to reduce the sickness and death
rate among babies and to improve
coming generations. The commune
TVS responsibility for babies is the
central thought of Baby Week.
To give such information about the
care of babies as will result in better

months.
To work for better woman and child
