Again Defaults

A young man by the name of Pep
pers was arrested near Bonne Terre
Monday by soldiers, on the charge of
Stacking" and was brought to this
city, where the fact was developed
that he had failed to return his ques-
tionnaire. He was ordered to appear
before the Local Beard at $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday morning, and on his promise
to do so he was given his liberty.
On Tuesday morning, however,
Peppers failed to put in his appeapl
ance at the Office Of the Local Board.
He is now regarded as deserter, and
will perhaps be given no such treat
ment as to be permitted to 60 upon
his own recognizance, but will be
thrown into prison to await action on
his case, which will likely be severe.
Ignorance may sometimes afford miti-
eating circumstances in such cases as
this, but that fails to apply in this
case, and young Peppers will be made
to realize that it does not pay to trifle
with the government when he next ap-
pears before tribunal for hearing,
as he is almost certain to be appre-
hended.

Will the HOuck
Be Rehabilitated?

A rumor has been floating about
along the line of the Houck railroad
that the line is soon to be completely
overhauled, repaired, upholstered and
put in condition for the proper ac-
commodation of traffic. For years
trains have been wobbling over this
line occasionally, without the slight
est regard to schedule, so that the
business it has done has really been
nominal. 1t is generally conceded,
however, that if this line was taken
over by belt line it could be made g
very important feeder.
The aforesaid rumor has it that the
Government has ordered the Cotton
Belt to take over the Houck road, and
put it in serviceable condition. If this
is done it will be of vast Importance
to the people living in the country
through which the road passes. To
this city also will such a move. be
most advantageous, as it will open up
a vast territory of new business that
the proper amount Of enterprise on
the part of Pennington business men
will bring to this city.

Young Men Are
Proving Worth

This is essentially an age for the
young men---when, from every quar-
ter, comes an ever Increasing demand
for young men, inievery line of indus
try. While the draining Of the coun-
try of it's young blood, to recruit a
great national army, has of course
drawn largely of young blood from
! every trade and industry, The Times
predicts that even after the war has
been brought to successful conclu-
tion, there will be an evcr-increasing
demand for younger men, even in po-
sitions of grave responsibility.
Even in the mining industry in this
county, where braun and endurance
are the principal requisites, the young
er men are being called for work, in
ever increasing numbers. This de-
mand is largely caused from the fact
that the miners of draft age have
been, and are still being, called to
their country's service by the hun
dreds. Furthermore, the foreigners,
who formerly supplied very large
portion of the miners in the Lead Belt
of st. Francois county, have been con-
stantly disappearing from the scenes
of their former activities. Some, of
course, have been called in the draft,
while many others have gone, the
Lord only knows where.
The scarcity of labor in that dis
trict, which for some time past has
been critical, has made its appeal to
many young Americans--many of
such boys being not yet of draft age.
But they have answered the call of
labor with their characteristic enthu-
siasm of youth, and they are also
making good abundantly as miners.
The former superstition that the for
eigners made the best miners has been
exploded. OF course there is no SER
Witty about the American youth.
There could not be, in the very nature
of things. When it is necessary to
control miners with buffoonery and
bIuffing, then the only chance is to
fall back upon the foreigners, whose
entire existence has been in the midst
of that sort of thing.
The quality Of the work that is now
being done in the mines Of the Lead
Belt, by young America, must come
as something of surprise to those
experts" who have been long and
loud in their persistence that the for
eigner was the best miner, providing
they were truly Of such belief. Of
that, there is considerable room to
doubt. 1t is indeed most gratifying,
in times like the present, when there
is such urgent need for labor of ev-
cry kind, TO see the youth of this land
foli up their sleeves, grab shovel
and Ego to it" in the mines. These
mere boys, many of them, are not on
ly filling their 81 cars in five or six
hours, which is the regular shift, but
they now usually remain for several
additional cars, for which they re-
ceive twenty-five cents additional.
1t seems little short of blasphemy
for anyone to even mention the poor
ignorant foreigner in the same
breath with an American, even in the
roguh and heavy work of mining. With
equal strength and far greater intel
ligence, the American must win in ev-
cry test of endurance with the for
eigner. Then, too, when he has glow
ing, radiant youth to back him up,
the American is absolutely inconquer-
able. All hail to the youth of Amer
lea! May his number rapidly in
crease!
