A NOVELTY IN THE CLOCK LINE

]. H. Radle, Farmington's efficient
and pleasing piano man, who is an ex-
pert in carving and wood working,
has recently finished beautiful and
novel piece of handiwork. 1t is n
large clock, standing some FIVE or 81 {
feet high, the wood work of which is
mahogany, shined to lustre. The
face Of the clock is inlaid with pearl,
which adds to the beauty. Above the
face Of the clock is a device to tell
the phases of the moon. This was
laid out by Mr.. Radle and is a novelty
in itself. The lower part of the
clock has a long glass panel door in
front. Another feature that makes
the clock novelty is the striking.
1t has three bells or chimes, each with
a different tone, which strike every fif-
teen minutes. a certain number at
each regular period, depending up
on the hour. The clock is run by
weights and the works alone cost
over seventy dollars. This clock II
put on the market would sell for $3.50.
This is by no means the first piece
Of artistic and beautiful work Mr..
Radle has turned out. One other clock
that he made from parts of piano
was no small piece Of work. He has
also made many violins and other nnu-
steal instruments.

POTSDAM is WHERE
KAISER AND HIS GANG
MATCHED WAR PLOT

"Potsdam, now known all over the
world as the headquarters of the "Pot-
sdam gang" where the Kaiser and his
militaristic leaders arc believed to
have plotted the European war, has
been ire home of the Prussian rulers
and the center of German and Pruss-
ian intrigue since the days of Freder-
lex the Great. r..
The Kaiser's official residence is
here, seventeen miles from Berlin, in
the midst Of gardens and villas and
close to the imitation Roman Brandon
burger gate"
The above appeared in Tuesdays
Star as preamble to lengthy special
from Potsdam which is a blight on
Gasconade county, this state. 1t is
but another indication Of the fact that
certain sections and communities in
this state are in very serious need of a
drastic cleanup, which will doubtless
be administered, if nos just at pres
ent, then wien the war is won. Such
characters as are evidently exceeding
ly numerous in and about Potsdam
are just the characters that were al
luded to in last weeks Times.
No possible treatment, no matter
how brutal it may appear, could hard
ly be severe enough for such brutes
as must inhabit Potsdam, apd who
perhaps are mistaken there for hui
man beings. Not only should the last
dollars worth of property they have
in their possession be confiscated, but
they should be set adrift and per-
mitted to float or swim back to their

LATEST LOCAL BOARD NEWS
st. Louis, Mo-, July IL, 1918


Dear Editor
Arrangements have been made
whereby we will enlist farm boys in
the Navy and permit them to return
home from st. Louis long enough to
help thresh crops.
This is effective at once, and re.
cruits may be sent to St. Louis by
the postmasters the same as usual,
after they are examined by local
physician; and if needed at home fer
farm work, they can have sufficient
time off before being ordered to train
ing camp; time off to be determined
by recruiting officer at st. Louis.
Previous announcements of this ma
ture were due to temporary crowded
condition Of the training camps, last
ing but few days, when all recruits
were sent home on waiting orders,
: This is a special furlough privilege
for farm boys only, and will probably
s;;Sc,.nain in effect for the rest of the
summer, because the Navy recognizes
the priceless value of crops in win
ming the war, and the scarcity of
farm hands.
Farm hnvs who are registered
should ask their Local Boards now
for written permission to volunteer
in the Navy, and bring it with them
to St. Louis. ~,s
Kindly publish this article in your
newspaper, which will, no doubt, be
good news to number of readers.
Yours very truly,
