God Is not impressed by the tnexperi-
ence of the man of the world. 1t
was Christ's work by giving meaning
to worship to give to manhood it's real
dignity and worth. Worship worth
ship is giving God his worth, but it
operates in giving to humanity its
worth just as reverence for the boys
father reacts by giving depth to the
boys life.
1t is thus that Christ tells us in
the text The hour is come that the
Christ is humanity glorified in His
worship of the father.
he meaning of play is ennui. The
meaning of work is selfishness. The
text tells us selnshness is loneliness.
The hard, cold face of the success
full man Of the world, the fussy, peev-
ish discomfort Of it's idle women, the
insolent irreverence of it's spoiled
children, the records of the divorce
court, the naughty isolation affected
by it's rather jujune aristocracy, all re-
mind one of the text, Except corn
of wheat fall into the ground and die,
it abideth alone" One life must fall
into the ground-the common red
earth which Christ's condescension
rendered sacred-rather than seclud-
ed. Death rather than what the
world calls life; the fellowship Of
saints rather than the "400' isolation
The effort Of human nature to COM
mend itself by isolating itself may be
attractive to human vanity, but it is
fatal to real clarifying of itself.

Attend to Weeds
and Pools

This is the season of the year when
every resident should look carefully
after the cutting of weeds on their
premises. 1t is not sufficient that one
keeps the front yard carefully moved.
A rank growth of weeds in the back
yard are just as great a danger to
health as though they were in the
front yard. The owners of all vacant
lots should also see that they are
moved, before the weeds go to seed.
This is most important, as rank
growth of weeds are an impediment
to health.
1t now appears that proper pre-
cautions were not taken by all res
idents in regard to making the pro-
pagation Of mosquitoes impossible,
judging from the number that have
taken up quarters in this city. Of
course there is no absolute cure for
those that are now active, as shooting
them is indeed slow task. But a
gallon or two of oil, poured into your
cess pool, if it has not already been SC
treated, will prevent additional broods
coming out, providing your cess poo
has not been so treated earlier in the
season. This is truly a case where

The article in The Times two weeks
ago, calling attention to the delay IN
getting the mail from st. Louis to this
point each morning, has already met
with beneficial results, as the mails
have already shown a tendency to
reach Pennington an hour or two
sooner. The article published in this
paper fell into the hands of the head
of the mail service in st. Louis, and
at once action was taken to stir things
up along the line.
The Times article took as a basis
for its criticism the Schedule that the
local carrying the early morning mail
to DeLassus is to arrive at that point.
Further investigation, however, indi-
Gates that said local has been usually
behind in arriving at DeLassus two or
three hours, so that the criticism was
apparently unfair in throwing the
blame principally upon the electric
line. The work that is necessary for
the electric line to perform, after the
arrival Of the local at DeLassus,
makes it impossible for them to de-
liver the mail at this point before the
news begins to grow stale, when the
local makes speciality Of arriving
so late.

BETTER MAIL SERVICE
FOR FARMINGTON
Postofice Department Getting Busy as
Result Of Article in Times Mention
inS Delay. in Delivery of Mails

The Times oversight was simply in
failing to allow for delayed trains,
thereby putting the brunt Of the trou-
Bile on the electric line, which was in
no way to blame, at least for much Of
the delay in delivery of the mails.
Yet our criticism was based on the
information we had at hand, and while
we desire to exhonorate the electric
line from the imputation of negligence
insofar as that road is. blameless, The
Times management does feel that its
article will result in much good to this
community in improved mail service.
It seems that, if the Missouri Pa
cific cannot get,the mail to DeLassus
on time, with much greater regular
ity than it has for some time past,
then much better service could be se-
cured by sending it over the M. r. q
B. T. railroad, which would get it here
at reasonably early hour. But that
is a question for the postal officials to
solve. But Pennington is an impor-
tant mail point, and its needs demand
that a radical correction be made in
its mail service. We believe that I'm
Gle Sam will also view the matter in
like manner, and will not rest content
while knowing that his mail for this
point is forced to lay silent for hours
in bags while due to be in the hands OF
the people.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-08-11

There may be a few knockers here
and indeed it would be most ex-
ceptional community if there were not
who will say that The Times editor
is too new in this community to pose
as a critic. But are we "posing as a
critic ?" We deny the charge. We
are standing out openly and above
board for bigger and better Farm
ington and st. Francois county. And,
in manner, at least, we believe that
stranger can more readily recog-
nize the shortcomings of town OF a
community than can one who has re-
sided in that community for years.
Anyway, The Times fights in the
open, for what it believes to be just
and right; and this paper will always
be pleased to share space with those
who may not agree with us. We do
not claim infallibility. You may be
right, and we may be wrong. If so,
we win most sincerely thank you for
enabling us to "get right"
But one thing we need, and must
have, in order to get the best results
from the correction work that The
Times has undertaken, is more ready
and Jealous support when you be-
lieve in the work we are attempting
to perform. If you are for it, come
out in the open and frankly say so.
Should you oppose it, you should also
be as frank. In this way, and in this
way only, can an understanding be
reached, whereby we can all work for
the common good.
But, even at the risk of being called
a "knocker," The Times management
proposes to continue to suggest, and
to fight for, those things it believes is
for the good of this city and county.
If that sort Of thing defines the
''knocker", then that means us. But
we have always been known, from our
earliest recollection, as Booster"
Whatever we may be, we are thor
oughly in love with our new home,
and we are unwilling that anyone
should do more in helping to push
along Pennington and st. Francois
county than we. Win you help in such
splendid work?

met at the Court House in Farming

called to order by G. j. Goeltz of Bis

Committee, Francis A. Benham, Sec

Mr. Benham, and L. H. Williams,
treasurer.

such purpose, when the question is
properly submitted to them.
We have also criticised the poor
service of the Electric road at differ
ent times, and better service has fol-
lowed. We attempted to point the
way to the securing of free mail de-
livery in Pennington, which again
failed through the Vaccinations of
few local citizens, their actions up to
now never having been Satisfactorily
explained. We have recently mention
ed the very inferior telephone service
Pennington has been receiving, while
paying for first-class service, which
has brought forth expressions of eff
forts being made to improve such
service.
The latest stand we have taken,
"for the good of Pennington, is for
an improved daily mail service, which
has also promptly borne fruit AL
ready the service to this city has been
Improved, and the postoffice depart
ment is now looking carefully into
the prevailing conditions that have
initiated against efficient service. So
there is abundant reason to believe
that grievous oversight in this regard
will soon be remedied.
Such record during the past eight
months, not to mention the innumer-
able things of perhaps lesser import
ance, which we have been struggling
to have corrected, is not bad rec
ord OF course. we have not in every
instance succeeded fully in accomp-
fishing our purpose, though in sew
eral of these our efforts have brought
forth ready appreciation ard assist
ance. But in every case the "stagnant
waters of the pool' have been stirred,
and such stirring is just what is need
ed in order to purify the pool.
Is there good citizen in Farming

cannot support such action on the
part Of The Times? If there is one
such citizen. we would be glad if he
would speak up We would like to
