The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-06-08

Frank Tucker, who has just finished
his first year at Yale, New Haven,
Conn.,, arrived home Sunday. He
says they wanted him to register
there, and he did take out out reg
istration card and had it forwarded
here in case he didn't get home in
time to register, telling them that if
he went into the army it would be
from old Missouri. He left yesterday
for Kansas City to join the. White
Meyer Chautauqua as stage manager.
Miss Blanche Gale returned home
last week from Colorado, where she
has been the past year as Secretary Of
the Young Woman's Christian Asso-
citation of the University of Colora-
do, to spend the summer with the
family of her father, G. B. Gale. She
was chosen as delegate to represent
the University's Y. M. G. A. at the
International Conference which meets
at HOLSTER, Mo-, on July 18th, after
which she will return in August to
Colorado to take up her duties as Sec
rotary for another year,
The next regular monthly meeting
Hospital No. will convene at that
institution next Monday morning,
June 18th. 1t is expected that at this
meeting officers for the State Hospi-
tai will be elected, to serve during the
ensuing term. The usual time for the
selection of such officers is at the first
meeting of the new Board of Mana
gers, which was held last month. At
that time, however, it was thought adj
visable to postpone such elections un-
til the regular June meeting of the
Board.
Rev. R. NJ. Talbert, formerly pas
tor of the Christian Church at this
place, dropped in on US Tuesday and
will be here several days. He will
attend the State meeting of the
Christian Church, which will be held
at Mexico, beginning on the 18th. Mr..
Talbert, who has been pastor of the
church at Butler, No., for the past
three years, has been called to the
Chillicothe Church, and will leave But
Ter about the first of July. His many
friends here are glad to see him look
ing so well, but regret htat he didn't
bring Mrs. Talbert and the two chill
dren with him, as they would like to
see them, too.
j. H. Tetley went to Delta Wednes-
day to meet his wife on her way
home from Pittsburg, Texas, where
she has been visiting the family of
her brother,- John Koen, for several
weeks. Her stay there has been long
er than she expected on account of
Mr.. Koen meeting with an auto truck |
accident a couple of weeks ago, in
which one of his legs was broken, !
but he is rapidly recovering. Mrs. |
Tetley expected to come home by way
of Delta, but changed her mind and
a letter was received yesterday morn
ing saying that she would come by
way of st. Louis and arrive home this
friday evening, so that Henry was
in his trip to Delta to
meet her.
The work of oiling the streets of |
Pennington was begun Monday, and
when the supply of oil that is now on
hand has been properly spread, this
city can again resume the enviable |
reputation she has heretofore gained |
Of being a dustless town. The oil |
ing has been delayed somewhat, ow-
ing to the excessive rainfall the past |
few weeks. The Times would suggest,
as an improvement of the present
method of single oiling each year
that, beginning next spring, soon as
the dust begins to fly, that light
bling be given, and then follow, along
about this time of year, with heavier
Oiling. We believe in this way more
results will be secured,
with the use of but little, if any, more
oil. This is our belief, based on con-
siderable observation along this line.
Let's try it out next year, along the
lines herewith suggested, and see if
the results are not more satisfactory.
