IMPORTANT NOTICE

Owing to the emergency which ex- ists in the matter of water shortage and frozen sewers every precaution possible should be taken to guard against fire and disease. Those shovel ing snow from their roofs into the abutting alleys should immediately re- move or smooth down the same that the alleys may be accessible to fire apparatus and teams. The receptacles in which drinking water is stored should be thoroughly cleaned, by boil ing every day to prevent possible ty- phoid. Do your part and maintain the reputation which Cordova enjoys rela- tive to fire and epidemics.

Charged With
Irregularities

Marion Smith, who recently drove
a large Hudson car here from st.
Louis, and had since kept the car in
a barn about six miles eaGt of Farm
ington, was arrested here the last of
the week and is now in Jail awaiting
the action Of the law. He is charged
with having cashcd several bogus
checks, as we'll as with other irregu-
larities. After coming here it ap-
pears that he made a number of pur-.
chases of automobile supplies, for
which he gave checks on st. Louis
banks. All such checks were later re-
turned, marked "no funds, which re-
suited in Smiths arrest.
J. w. Yeargain, one of the best cit
izens of this community, living on
Route 3, to whom Smith owed an ac-
count, later attached the car. Such
action brought out the further fact
that there was already a mortgage
on the car, of something near $400,
which is held in st. Louis. So it
seems that Smith was "pretty. well
shot to pieces" financially when he
landed in Pennington, and perhaps
had dreams of recouping his fortune
here. He formerly lived in this COM
munity. 1t is now up to the law to
determine his financial standing, and
also to decide as to where he will be
permitted to "recoup."

We must stand by President Will
son and help him to win the war. In
order to help him most we must elect
a Congress that will be in harmony
with his purposes and cooperate with
him in his actions. These statements
are proven by appeals made by promi-
ment men in former wars.
Colonel Roosevelt, when a candidate
for Governor of New York in 1908,
sent out an appeal as follows:
Remember that whether you will
or not, your votes this year will be
viewed by the nations of Europe from
one standpoint only. They will draw
no fine distinctions. A refusal to
sustain the President this year, will,
in their eyes, be read as refusal to
sustain the war and to sustain the eff
forts of our peace commission to Sc
cure the fruits of the war. Such
refusal may not inconceivably bring
about a rupture of the peace nogo-
tiations. 1t will give heart to our
defeated antagonists; it will make
possible the interference of those
doubtful neutral nations, who in this
struggle have wished us ILL.,"
In similar tenor former President
Benjamin Harrison pleaded for the
election of a Republican Congress to
support President Mckinley. He is
quoted in the Philadelphia North
American of Nov. l, 1898, as saying:
"If the word goes forth that the

Ozark Business
College Growing

The Lang & Bro. Mfg. & Mere. Co.
have delivered twenty made-to- order
desks this week to the Ozark Busi-
ness College. Chairs and other
equipment have also been added to
the college. Another instructor, Miss
Ora Kleppsattle, of Desloge, will
join the faculty. Many new students
expect to begin business training next
Monday, if conditions permit opening
at that time, or the following Mon
day.
The largest of the class rooms has
been made over into an additional
study hall, the shorthand dictation
room has been transferred to the old
typewriting room, while the stenotypy
dictation room has been changed also.
The Offices are open every day except
Sunday, and the largest enrolment
ever enjoyed in this city, will inaug-
urate the new opening as soon as the
health officials permit a resumption of
the work.

Won't Go Together

The fact that John Barleycorn is a
poor chaueffer is being demonstrated
in this county almost every week.
Last Saturday three men from Des-
logo, who We're returning from Vein
garten, where they had taken aboard
more than a load of Barleycorn, met
with an accident just this side of Flat
River, all three being precipitated
headlong to the roadside, and all
were more or less injured. Reckless
driving was the cause.
The same afternoon another auto
mobile, in the same locality, with
John Barleycorn at the steering
wheel, ran into motor truck, putting
the machine out Of business, but both
occupants of the car luckily escaped
serious injury.
1t is time that it was made erim-
inal offense for a drunken person to
manipulate the steering wheel of an
auto, if not for his own protection,
then for the protection of the general
public, who should not be compelled
to suffer by reason of John Barley
corn's deviltry.

abandoned since the discontinuance of
mining in that immediate communi-
ty, would soon take on renewed life
and energy, and be permitted to again
blossom forth in something like it's
former glory.
1t is the intention of the signers to
present this petition to the County
Court of this county and ask that
permission be given to sell this % 3-4
acre tract. Mr.. Boswell reports that
practically no opposition has been
voiced against such procedure,
while he has hundreds of signatures to
such petition. The proceeds of such
sale would be apportioned among the
different school districts in this town
ship. One of the big lead companies
has salready indicated their desire to
buy such land by stating that if it
were put up for sale at public auc-
tion they would start the bidding at
$4,000. This is an indication of their
confidence in its mineral worth. AS it
is now, lying there idle, it is of no
use or benefit to anyone. If it is sold,
as will be prayed for by the petit
tioners, it will not only add neat
sum to the school fund, but will re-
move at least one handicap that has
long been saddled on Doe Run. If the
Doe Run Lead Co. should secure this
land, it would doubtless soon resume
active operations there, as they still
have considerable good mineral land
in that locality.
The Times has no doubt but that the
County Cours will order such land
sold, to the highest bidder, when the
petition is presented to them. .

Valuable Mineral Land Will
Probably Soon Be Developed

]. W. Boswell has recently been
circulating a petition in Congressional
Township 35, North, Range 5, East,
soliciting signatures of resident tax
payers, asking for the sale of GER
tain "a 3-4 acres, which had, years
ago, been donated to the Doe Run
church. The total amount Of such
tract is 40 acres, which had since
been partially divided between the
church property, the school district,
and for burial ground. By such
divisions Is Ia acres has been per-
manently disposed of, leaving the re-
naming "a 3-4 acres to be disposed of
as resident taxpayers see fit, which
has also been provided for by law.
Such disposition had been made in ac-
cordance with survey made by
Samuel l.. Asbury, a former surveyor
of st. Francois county.
Such land lies in the richest mineral
belt in the Doe Run field, and the
mineral wealth of such tract is sup
posed to be great, in comparison to
Which its surface value is small.
Therefore it has occurred to those
whose information in regard to such
land is best, that the best and most
proper use this land can be put to is
to sell it to the highest and best bid
der for mining purposes. 1t is known
that one or more of the great mining
companies in this county has long de-
sired to buy such land, in which event
active mining in that field would
douhtleSS soon he resumed In. slIch

town, which has long been practically

The Times Duty

In these stressful times, it is the
solemn duty of The Times, as it is
also its pleasure, to do everything in
its power to assist the government in
the great and patriotic work of win
ming the war, at the earliest possible
moment, and on the terms that this
war must be won to insure correct
and lasting conditions, to the end that
there may nevermore be any war, or
even rumors of war. This is a stu
pendous task, and should have the
honest and earnest and constant eff
fort Of every red-blooded American.
There are many things to be done,
in every community throughout this
vast land, in order to bring about the
proper conditions in the great effort
now in progress to bring all the peo-
pie into closer and more correct un-
derstanding of what free country
really means. One of the many
things, in this connection, is that there
is not now, nor can there ever be, so
long as this country is to remain
really free, any room for hun sympa-
thizers, slackers, or people who can
not rise above war profiteering at this
time.
1t is along this line that The
Times management desires to state
that it has constituted itself a COM
mittee of one to try and weed out
such undesirable citizens, to the end
that when the war is won this will be
far better country than ever before
in which to live. In pursuing such
work no citizen has any advantage ov-
er another. They all look alike to
The Times, when it comes to deciding
as to their patriotism, or their un-
Americanism. We would love to
know that every citizen in this COM
munity was of the right sort, but we
fear such is not the case. While I'VE
realize that the duty which we have
assigned ourself is one that may en-
gender bitter animosities on the part
of some, we also thoroughly believe
that such work is close second in i'm
portance to fighting at the front. We
therefore again give notice to all who
may fear the searchlight not to show
themselves if they would evade pub
licity. America must henceforth be
only for Americans.

Rich Prospects

Word has reached The Times that
the Washington County Zinc Co.,
which is operating a short distance
west of Irondale, Mo-, has shot into
some very rich zinc in a drift, which
will assay from Is to 20 per cent.
This strike has instilled all sharehold-
ers with additional confidence in the
value of such holdings, though even
previous to this rich development con-
fidence was in no respect lacking.
This company, organized principal
ly by Desloge men of wide mining ex-
perience, has recently completed a
very fine mill, and operations there
will now doubtless be redoubled.

DIR. WEBER CALLED TO COLoRs

Farmington's sixth physician has
been accepted for army service. DR..
Weber on last Sunday received notifi-
cation from Washington that he had
been awarded a commission as First
Lieutenant in the Medical Corps. He
was ordered to report for duty one
week from Sunday, November 8, but
has asked for five-days extension
of time in order to arrange his bus
mess affairs. AS yet no one has been
secured to take charge of his prac-
tice. Pennington is sorry to lose
DR.. Weber but wishes him well in his
Army career.

Edward C. Barroll, who has posi-
ton with an advertising agency in
St. Louis, came home the last of the
week to be examined as to his physi-
cal fitness for Uncle Sans service, by
the Local Draft Board. According to
the examination he is physically one
of the most perfect specimens of
manhood to be found in this or any
county, which makes him feel quite
"chesty" and more than ever anxious
to get at the huns. He returned to
work Wednesday, where he expects
TO remain until his call comes to don
the khaki.

DR.. C. P. Gregg. a friend of the
Times family, whose home is in st.

service, stationed at Fort Riley, Kan

is getting along nicely there and has
no time to get lonesome, working from
z a. IN. to $40 p. M, after which he
studies until 10 p. M, when "the
lights go OUT. He says the "fu" was
very bad in that cantonment, but that
they now have it under control.

idly behind the President, the task of
the peace commissioners will be easy,
but if there is break in the ranks
if the Democrats score telling vic
tory, if Democratic Senators, Con-
