Preparedness

A County Food Conference will
meet at the Court House in Farming
ton on next Wednesday, May 2. Del
egates to this conference have already
been selected from the various school
districts throughout the county for
the purpose of attending this meeting
Similar conferences are being held
throughout Missouri, under the au-
spices of the State Agricultural Col
lege, with the cooperation of the
County Agricultural Agent and the
County Superintendent of Schools.
1t is earnestly desired that all bus
mess men, bankers and commercial
clubs be represented, as it will be
part of the purpose of this meeting to
hear what the different communities in
the county can and will do in this
great national crisis. All are invited
TO attend this meeting, and the dele
gates particularly are expected to be
in their places.

Your Country
is Calling You

There are undoubtedly number of
young men in Pennington and vicini-
ty who would be willing to enlist for
service in the army or navy at this
time, when there is such an apparent
need for such service. They perhaps
have been holding back for various
reasons. Surely there is as much
patriotism in this section of the coun-
try, under similar conditions, as there
is in any other part of the country.
But the very small ratio of enlist
ments that have been made in the st.
Louis district, which includes prac-
tically all Of Missouri, does not speak
well for this State. The country is
now in a state Of war, and whether or
not you believe in warfare ordinarily,
it is your duty, as a loyal citizen, to
come to the aid of your government
in her present need. The stigma of
lack of loyalty must not be permitted
to rest against our State.
Any young man desiring to take
the physical examination for enlist
ment, for which he must go to St.
Louis, will be provided with the nee
essary funds for the trip, if he does
not have the money, by applying to
the Loyalty Club of Pennington, of
which E. J. Mckinney is president. Do
not delay. Your country calls you
now, in a worthy cause.

NO REFLECTION INTENDED

W. H. Bess, the genial and efficient
agent of the Pennington station of
the M. r. & B. T. railroad, feels that
our article of last week, "Why Not a
Telegraph Office in Pennington re-
fected in some way on him. 1t was
not so intended, and The Times in no
way had him in mind. The custom of
delivering kilograms referred to had
long been practiced before Mr.. Bess
was stationed here, and had come to
be considered a matter of course.
That no closed booth for telephoning
is furnished is in no way his fault
What we wanted to impress upon the
telegraph companies was, that with
the amount of business they get
from Pennington, they ought to pro
vide some better means for the ac-
commodation of patrons. Mr.. Bess
is not only an efficient agent, but his
pleasant and accommodating manner
is recognized and appreciated by all
who have business with him.

CIVILIZATIONS" A STU
PENDOUS PRODUCTION

Clipping from Kansas City Star.
1t was not so very long ago that
people marveled at the "stupendous"
scenic production of "Ben Hur" and
speculated on the tremendous amount
of labor, thought and money it must
have required to bring such a thing
about.
That was before the days of movies.
Old scenic marvels pale beside
Civilization"
Today in such films at "Intoller-
ance," "The Birth of Nation" and
Civilization, now coming to the
Monarch, the whole of "Ben Hur"
rolled into one would just about suf-
flee for one scene! And this is no ex-
aggeration. The films speak for them
selves.
Take the modern battle scene in
Civilization" for instance. The
"tanks," big guns, the uniforms, the
shells, must at least seem real to be
convincing. And all this expense and
energy to paint few feet of film, a
like preparation for few feet more
and the film runs more than two
hours! For the battle ship scene the
cooperation of the government had
to be secured, and Mr.. Ince got the
use of two battle ships, two torpedo
boat destroyers, one cruiser and two
submarines. The battle lasted twenty
seven minutes. About 1900 shots
were fired and a discarded vessel
blown up. For all this Mr.. Ince had
to pay. Then the scene shifts to the
sinking of the Lusitania. An ocean
liner was chartered to give realism.
The panic-stricken people are seen
fighting with each other on the deck;
the life boats fail to work, throwing
hundreds into the water; others are
launched and meet with the same
fate--and so forth until the vividness
of the thing makes one cold with hor-
ror. And that is only one more scene,
with score of like magnitude to fol-
low.
Poor old "Ben Hur". A view of
"Civilization" or one of the other big
films makes "Ben Hur" seem like a
mechanical toy.

present and future work on the roads
instead of using it to pay outstanding
warrants and mourning other liabil-
tiles in road improvement.
By the board adhering to the 49,
100000 and over raise, the general
county and road revenue funds would
have received in additional taxes $685.
1920. By reducing this raise so
per cent, or to $1,377 900, the county
and road revenue funds will receive
an additional tax of $10,337, which,
added to the $4,000 that the compa-
MES pay to liquidate the outstanding
warrants, virtually makes an addition
al tax of $32,337 which the companies
will pay for 1917, or $6,523.80 more
than they would have paid if the
board had insisted on the $3,441 900
increased assessment.
Before the action of the Board Of
Equalization in raising the assess
ments Of the companies, Assessor
Wells in his assessment returns had
already increased their assessments
something over million, which, added
to the boards increase as reduced by
tHC DOalu VI, AppSdIo VI pl,oo ,oOV,
makes an increase of $2,337 900 more
than their assessments for 1916 on
which they will pay taxes this year.
This not only brings large addi-
tional revenue to the county and road
funds, but the companies will pay an
additional school tax on their in
creased assessments, which will give
the school districts in which their
properties are located a much larger
revenue for school purposes.
The Board of Appeals, which is
composed of the three County Court
Judges, C. l. Garrett, W. A. Mitchell
and F. M. Matkin, and Assessor L.
O. Wells and County Surveyor T. H.
Holman, are to be commended for the
manner in which this work has been
accomplished, and Mr.. Wells espec-
tally for his very efficient assess
ment of the county; but no less to
be commended is the liberal public
spirit manifested by the companies in
meeting the board more than half
way in its purpose to provide the
revenue for better roads
and other improvements.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

The store, bakery and meat shop of
Bojin Nikola and two tenement houses
belonging to the Federal Lead Co.,
at Federal Shaft No. 6, known as
Hungarian town, were destroyed by
fire Tuesday morning. Mr.. Nikola
had just installed about $1,000 worth
of machinery in his bakery depart
ment. His loss is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, on which
there was only $500 insurance.
The second story of the store and
bakery building was used as room
ing house, and man who occupied
one of the rooms built fire in the
stove and then went out to work in
his garden. A short time afterwards
his room was discovered to be on fire
and so far advanced that it could not
be extinguished owing to the poor fa-
cilities for fighting the fire. Very
little of anything was saved from the
store and bakery, but considerable of
the furniture from the two tenement
houses was removed.

Farmington
Loyalty Club

A meeting called by the promoters
of loyalty club was held at the
Court House last Tuesday evening for
the purpose of organizing and elect
ing officers. The meeting was called
to order by former Mayor E. J. Nc
Kinney, who stated the object of the
meeting. An organization was eff
fected by the election of Mr.. McKin-
ney as President by unanimous con-
sent on the nomination of former
Prosecuting Attorney Henry Davis.
This was followed by the election of
Mrs. Edward A. Rozier for Vice Pres
ident, Mrs. Genevieve F. Logan, Sec
retary, and M. P. Cayce, Treasurer.
The signatures and subscriptions
amounting to about $113 for the pur-
pose of buying an electric flag had
previously been secured through the
efforts of Mrs. Rozier, Mrs. Logan
and Miss Lavinia Rozier, and these
are all members of the club. A list
of their names, to which others are
expected to be added, may be found
on page three.
On motion the chairman of the
meeting appointed the following
committees: 0. w. Bleeck, Mrs. M.
P. Cayce and Mrs. Genevieve F. Lo-
gan, to decide upon the location for
the electric flag, and Mrs. ]. j. Rob-
erts, Miss Lavinia Rozier and Mrs.
Logan, to arrange for a moving pic
ture show at the Monarch Theatre, the
proceeds of which will be added to the
flag fund.
The purpose of the Loyalty Club is
to promote spirit of patriotism and
loyalty; to aid in whatever way they
may the successful prosecution of the
government in the war with Germany;
to encourage volunteers for the Red
Gross Infrmary Corps of the Army,
and to uphold in every way in their
power the government in the grave
situation which confronts it.

Prepare War Crops

A. l. Foard attended the food con-
ference in Jefferson City Monday and
carried out the program in this county
which was adopted as nearly as pos
sible. He requests the cooperation
of all the business men in carrying
out this work in the county. Prof.
J. Clyde Akers, the County Superin-
tendent of Schools, and all the teach
ers in the county are working in CO.
operation on the food crop program,
which is outlined by our State Ag-
ricultural College. Mr.. Akers and
the entire teaching force in the coun-
ty are doing everything they can to
promote this work. All high school
boys in the county have been dis
missed to go on the farm. This makes
available quite a number of farm
hands, which should be a great bene-
fit to the farmers in solving their la
Dor problems.

KILLED BY TRAIN

Thomas Langley of Flat River was
killed by work train on the M. R. &
B. T. railroad last Sunday about noon
between Elvins and Doe Run Shaft
No. 3. 1t seems that Langley, who
had been drinking, lay down on the
side of the track with his head near
the rail and went to sleep. The train
was backing into Elvins, the conduc-
tor and brakeman both standing on
the rear end of the caboose. They
saw something which they took to be
pile of cinders, and on getting clos
er discovered that it was a man, but
too late to check the train. Lang
ley's head was caught between the
boxing of the rear wheel of the ca
boose and tie, and then in some way
between the wheel and brake, in
which position he was dragged sixty
or 80 feet before the train could be
stopped. He was placed in the ca
boose and taken back to Rivermines,
where he died in about two hours
from his injuries.
Langley was well known in the
Lead Belt, having worked about the
mines of Doe Run and Flat River for
a good many years. He was al years
of age, and leaves a wife and six chill
dren to mourn his untimely and vio-
lent death. Funeral services were
held at the Flat River Baptist church
on Monday by Rev. Mr.. Carmichael,
and his body was taken to Doe Run for
interment.

Lead Companies and Board of Appeals
Reach Satisfactory Compromise

The Board of Equalization met last
Monday as a Board of Appeals to hear
such complaints as might be present
ed against the increase made in the
assessment on certain properties of
the county. The raise in the assess
ment of the mining properties
amounted to $3,441 900, and this mat
ter was taken up by the Board of
Appeals with some of the officials of
the lead companies. The companies
recognized the justice of the Board
Of Equalization in increasing their
assessments, and were prepared to
acquiesce in such action, but it was
suggested by them that the raise was
somewhat higher than they expected.
The Representatives of the companies
had proposition to make to the
board, and it was so conciliatory and
liberal in it's nature that they and
the board had no trouble in reaching
an agreement.
The plan proposed by the companies
was, that they would pay off the
floating road debt of the county,
amounting to about $4,000, which
sum was deposited in the Bank of
Pennington subject to the order of
the County Court, on condition that
the board make a reduction of 60 per
cent on the more than three millions
increase, bringing it down to ST.
$4,000. This arrangement was made,
and following is the way it will work
out, which will at a glance be seen
to be favorable to the county.
The increase of $3,441 900 in the
companies assessments is reduced to
1887 900, which will bring into the
general county and road revenue
funds an additional $10,377 The
companies pay off the county road
fund indebtedness amounting to $22,-
900, money for which is already in
the bank. The outstanding warrants
for this amount bear six per cent in
terest, some of them of a years
standing. By this arrangement the
interest on these floating warrants is
stopped and the debt wiped out, so
that the County Court begins the cur
rent year free of debt and in shape
to use the incoming revenue for

VERDICT OF LOWER
COURT SUSTAINED

This suit was filed during the May
term, 1915, by Cunningham against
Elvins for a balance, $349.50, which
plaintiff claimed was due him for

property in Elvins, this county. Af-
ter two or three continuances in the

cause was decided this week in favor
of plaintiff, Cunningham.
Cunningham was represented by
