AMATEUR NIGHT MAKES
A DECIDED HIT

The first amateur night put on by
the Monarch Theatre Wednesday
night, drew a crowded house and the
entertainment provided was success
full in every way. While all the per-
formers were amateurs they did well
indeed and some of them entertained
like seasoned professionals The
"acts" included an exhibition of bag
punching, by Mr.. Thomson; an ex-
centric Hebrew monolog by Rene
Quesnell; "double" by Mr.. Roberts
and Mr.. Cole; another "double" and
dancing speciality by Mr.. Jones and
Mr.. Roberts, and Sis Hopkins mono
log by Miss Katheryn Holiday. Miss
Holiday was the prize winner, and
her work richly deserved the award,
The affair was so successful that the
management of the Monarch has de-
cided to have an amateur night every
two weeks hereafter, as long as the
interest continues.

PENNINGTON GIRLS DEFEAT
FREDERICKTOWN GIRLS

In a strenuous game of basket ball
on the local court Saturday night the
Pennington High School girls won
from the Fredericktown High School
girls by the score of 20 to 8. The
game was fast and at times almost fu-
rious, due to the latitude allowed by
the officials. The Pennington for
wards made IL field goals to two by
the visitors, and Fredericktown is con-
coded to have one of the most excel
lent forwards in the league. The con-
sistent work of the Pennington guards
is shown by the fact that no team this
year has been able to score more than.
two field goals in any one game, while
playing against them. While the work
of the guards is especially noticeable,
it must be said that all players on the
team are showing excellent judgment,
and playing very consistent ball.
An immense crowd was present,
and it has been reported that there
was a disposition OIL the part of some
to wager various sums on the outcome
of the game. This is not only annoy
ing to law abiding attendants, but is
detrimental to the proper spirit of
school athletics, and can not be toler-
ated. In order to check tho further
tendency toward such conduct about
the athletic games of the High School.
a reward Of five dollars will be given
for information that will lead to the
conviction of any party or parties
gambling on the outcome of any such
game The seat of the trouble is not
in the fact that athletic games are
played but is due to the prevalence of
gambling in various dens within the
lefty limits, that have produced a gem
GRAFTON of gamblers that will bet on
the outcome of anything that has an
element of chance in it. Whatsoever
man soweth, that shall he also
reap"

PROPER FEEDING WOULD
DOUBLE STATES EGG OUTPUT

According to the United States cen
sus, Missouri's 21,000,000 hens lay
111,000,000 do%n eggs annually. If
this is true, the average hen lays
about So eggs year. This is poor
record. One reason why hens are not
more productive is because usually
they are half fed. 1t is false econo-
my to expect them to pick up their
living from the leavings of other
stock. Many farmers admit that they
feed their hens nothing during the
summer. In so doing, they are saw
ing feed but losing money.
A productive hen requires from 20
to 80 pounds of feed a year. If she
gets only 40 to so pounds she will
simply satisfy her body requirements.
She will not lay eggs. The scantily
fed hen is a poor investment. 1t is
only the literally fed hen that yields
the profit.
Farmers should keep dry ground
feed, such as mixture of bran,
shorts and corn meal, in hoppers be-
fore the hens at all times. Either
sour milk or butter milk should be
given as drink. Crushed limestone
or oyster shell should be before the
hens all the time, and the hens should
go to roost with full crops.
One correspondent wrote that af-
ter feeding according to the direc-
tions Of the Poultry Department of
the University of Missouri his hens
laid twice as many eggs. These di-
rections are given in circular rs, en-
titled Feeding for Egg Production"
which is distributed free. III. L,

culture.

Build 1t Now

The terrible tragedy that occurred
on Sunday evening, October 15tk, in
the swollen, turbid waters of Big Riv-
er, in the northwestern corner of st.
Francois county, near Blackwell, fe-
sulting in the death of four residents
of Washington county, who had been
spending the day with friends on the
st. Francois county side of that
treacherous stream, continues to be
discussed this far away in hushed
whispers. No local tragedy of recent
date has been more far-reaching in
its effect upon the general public than
was the snuffing out of the lives of
the County Clerk of Washington coun-
ty, his wife, her mother and a 10-year-
old boy,
1t sometimes requires similar
heart-rending tragedy like this to
bring the community to a realization
of a public need of public improve
ment, and this circumstance will
doubtless renew interest in the mat
ter of building bridge across Big
River at that point. This question has
been agitated at different times, and
The Times understands that money
has been solicited at different times
for that purpose. But procrastina-
ton has resulted in the plotting out
of those four lives, and now the peo-
pie of this county are doubtless in a
mood to press the building of the
bridge. The County Court should take
hold of this matter and see that a
bridge is put in at that point, to pre-
vent the sacrifice of additional lives
in the waters of that stream, which
is subject to sudden heavy rises, such
as was that of two Sundays ago.

DOG IN THE MANAGER. POLICY

That's what's the matter with Bir- mingham and the whole of Jefferson county" said MT. Sibley. Every time someone starts anything that has the trend of progress and development some other fellow plays the dog in the manager act and the result is chaos, suspicion and intolerance of the mo- tives of others.
 "The Chamber of Commerce Warrior highway committee will meet Monday morning at II o'clock to consider plans to be adopted to fight this injunc- tion. We will fight this injunction and we propose to fight for this highway all along the line"
 The suit for injunction was filed be- fore Judge Crow for MT. Hyche, by At torneys Felix E. Blackburn of this city and the firm of George Ross. president of the board of alderme If Bessemer and Gardner Goodwin
 It Is generally known that in Bessemer the highway to Nichols Fishtrap is stren- uousiy opposed. as it leaves out this community of the western part of the county. Bessemer, it is stated. wanted the Taylors ferry highway developed, and this is being done at the present time by the road convicts. However MT. Hyche. in his complaint, alleges that as taxpayer and property owner. he ob- jects to spending more money on the Nichols Fishtrap highway when the Tay- lors ferry road will fully answer the purpose of bringing the Warrior river to Birmingham.
