The later reports on the feat of the
army and navy departments in trans.
porting the first American expeditionary
force to Europe serve to magnify the
performance rather than to minimize it.
The Importance of it is gagged not by
the size of the force transported but by
the fact that the departure of the trans
ports was undoubtedly announced to the
German admiralty so that the subma-
rines were gathered in force to attempt
10 destroy some of the ships. The result
was that the conveying war vessels had

tribute to the skill OF the officers in
charge. The American people have rea-

much Of the spread esgleism Of former

QUIETLY MARRIED

Mr.. Writ A. Gillian and Miss Eloise
Easter, both of Bonnie Terre, quietly
slipped away the last of the week and
journeyed to Clayton, Mo-, where they
were united in marriage. None of the
friends of either, both of whom are
popular in their home town, even sus-
pected the date of this event until it
had actually occurred and the happy
couple were away on their wedding
tour. And even now, so far as The
Times is informed, none Of their old
home friends know where they are
spending their honeymoon.
The bride is quite popular in Bonnie
Terre, and the groom is well known
both there and in Pennington, in both
of which places he has music houses
He opened up a music house in Farm
ington few months ago, since which
time he has become known as a live
progressive and wide-awakc business
man, always hustling for business and
usually getting it.
The many friends of the contracting
parties, throughout st. Francois coun.
ty, will join in wishing Mr.. and Mrs
Gillian long life and much happiness
They will probably continue to make
their home in Bonnie Terre.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Reports for the second quarter of
school were furnished all pupils, ex-
cept in the eighth grade, and parents
not having seen such reports should
consult the teacher interested or the
Superintendent The eighth grade
reports were delayed on account OF
the illness of Mr.. Mccullough, but
will be issued as soon as his records
can be consulted.
Too much social activity on school
nights is responsible for a good deal
of inferior school work in the high
school department. a few pupils who
began the years work with apparent
determination to make record grades
have become satisfied with grades en-
tirely below their ability. An exam
nation into the cause in several cases
has revealed the fact that much valu-
able time is lost in social activity that
units one for good school work. The
only remedy is for parents to so con-
troll such social recreation that pu-
pills may be left in proper condition
for school duties.
Miss Watts in the History Depart
ment and Miss Taylor in English have
been using the Literary Digest to good
advantage to awaken an interest in
current events. The plan seems to
be working well and pupils are de-
lighted with the opportunity to dis
cuss topics of present interest in the
different classes. History in its max
ing is brought to their attention and
thoughtfully considered under the d.
rection of experienced observers.
On last Friday night the High
School boys played the all-star bas-
ket ball team from Doe Run and were
defeated by the score of 40 to AZ. On
the same evening the Eighth Grade
Pennington boys played Doe Runs
Eighth Grade and won by the narrow
margin of 10 to 8. Both games were
we'll played and furnished excellent
entertainment for the small crowd
present. Mr.. Fleming Of Flat River
| officiated.
For this week the following games
are scheduled: On Friday night the
Pennington boys will play Flat Riv-
er in a league game on Flat Rivers
court. On Saturday night there will
be double-header on the local court
The Charleston girls will play the
Pennington girls, and for 'curtain
raiser" Mr. Cecil Hughes of Flat Riv-
er will play his fast Eighth Grade
team against the local Eighth Grade
boys. Both teams are playing snappy
ball and would interest good many
high school teams in this region, The
Charleston girls have not been defeat
ed since 1909 and can be expected to
stage an interesting game. The local
girls request the support of the COM
munity and promise to break Charles
TONS winning streak of the past sew
en- years.

LITERARY SOCIETY
MEETING TONIGHT

The regular meeting of the Farm
ington Literary Society will be called
to order tonight, friday at the High
School Auditorium at 8 o'clock. At
the last two meetings virtually the en-
tire program has fallen down" from
one cause or another, but none of it
the fault of the President or.program
committee. These officers can but no.
tify the talent of their election to
serve upon these programs, and if
through indifferences, carelessness,
really unavoidable detention or "pure
cussedncss" the numbers as called fail
to show up and do their part the re-
sponsibility rests wholly with the
members who are expected to serve,
and not with the officers. Following
is the program as prepared for to-
night Each individual has been duly
notified, and it is hoped and expected
will be on hand to entertain the crowd
which never fails to Be large and
enthusiastic one:
Musical selections by the Schubert
Student Orchestra.
Reading-M Master Joe Swink.
Brass Sextette-M ayford Spence, Os-
car Holland, Leslie Evans, Ted
Graves, Mr.. Cover and Mr.. Bar
roll
Piano Solo-Miss Beulah Rhodes.
Violin Misses LA Abshier,
Florence Radle, Tom Miles, Prof.
Porter and Mr.. Barroll.
Chalk Cheerolog-Mr Forsyth.
Mandolin Duet--Paul D. Nations and
Gentry Keith.
Piano Solo-Miss Norma Guessing.
Considerable friendly criticism
reaches the cars of the program COM
mittee in connection with these pro-
grams, because of the proportion of
! musical numbers to those purely lit
erary. The reason for this is the
backwardness of those who can read,
or put on plays and sketches, make
addresses, monologs, orations, or
otherwise entertain in ways other than
musical, to come forward and tell us
what they can do. Numbers of that
kind are keenly wanted. but no one has
time to search for talent with a mi
croscope, or hunt around for it with a
lantern as the famous Diogones hunt
ed in the dark for an honest man. Ii
you can do something yourself, or
know of someone who can, please tell
the President or any member of the
Committee.
