Coming! Coming!
Welcome, All !

For the past few weeks, largely
through lack of time and space, The
Times has neglected to give the list
of new subscribers that are constantly
coming in. For this reason it may
be there is an idea in the mind of
some that not many new subscribers
are coming into The Times Office.
Not so. They are coming in every
day, apparently in constantly in
creasing numbers. 1t is no longer any
secret that The Times is one of the
best county newspapers to be found
anywhere in this splendid State, apd
the people generally are quick to
find out such things. The following
new subscribers have been placed on
The Times subscription list the past
week:

Our Heartfelt
Thanksgiving

This year the people of the whole
United States, as well as the people
of the entire world, have more reason
than they have ever had before in the
worlds history, for sincere and heart
felt praise and rejoicing.
This thanksgiving is more than an
American observance; the spirit of to-
days festival spans the continents.
The whole world is rejoicing for it has
been vouchsafed the greatcct of all
gifts to man-Freedom
After more than four years of bloody
strife against the imperious tyran-
ny of those who would have ruled their
brothers with the sword, tie nations
of tke earth have emerged trium-
phantly victoriously against their
would-be en5lavers. Americas part
in the struggle was the determining
factor that swung the pendulum to-
ward Liberty. For that especially we
should be thankful.
Above all things, we should be
greatful to the Lord on High for
granting us the victories of war and
the blessings of peace.
We should be thankful to our young
men whose fine spirit of sacrifice and
patriotic devotion made the passing
of militarism possible.
We should be thankful for the
great hearts of the people at home
whose labor, no less than those of the
lads in the trenches, brought us the
| decision.
We should be thankful that Amer
lea, made up of the races of the world,
met the shock of the war, united
and coherent nation.
! We should be thankful to the Pres
| ident of the United States, whose
steady guiding hand helped lead US
safely and triumphantly through the
mazes of intrigue and the catacmlysm
of war.
We should be thankful for the fine
spirit of France that kept the beast at
bay until the rest of our people made
it possible for us to feed the starving
millions abroad, clothe, and shelter
them.
We should be thankful that our boys
are soon coming home to us, that our
families will be reunited and that
the peaceful pursuits OF the country
will soon be under full headway
again.
We should be thankful that the
soldiers who lay buried in France died
for cause that will endear their
memories to God and man. There can
be no more sublime ending to life
than death cheerfully met that others
might live in freedom.
/. For these things we should be
thankful, but let US not grow too
proud of our achievements. In the
great war, now happily over, Amer
lea did its duty to mankind and no.
thing more. Let US remember that
in the midst of our rejoicings over the
new light of freedom that is flashing
into nook and Granny of Gods world.

Will Open Up
New Law Office

Frank W. Carter, who for the past
twelve years has been vice-president
of the Mercantile Trust Co., of st.
Louis, has resigned that position
with the announced purpose of open
ing a law office irfSthat city, taking in
to partnership his son, and the title
of the new firm will be Carter & Car
ter.
His action in resigning the vice
presidency of the Mercantile Trust Co.
was deeply regretted by Rolla Wells,
the President, and many other finan-
cial associates, but as he still re-
tains his membership in the Board of
Directros of that institution, such res
ignation does not mean his complete
severance there.
Mr.. Carter is known as one of the
ablest lawyers in this state, but his
principal reason for making this
change is to assist his son to better
opportunity in life. While Mr.. Car
ter has not lived in this city for a
number of years, Pennington still
claims him as her own, and his many
warm friends here unite in wishing
him both success and satisfaction in
this change of work.

LABOR SHOULD CONTINUE ON
WAR BASIS, WALSH SAYS

Washington, November 27-Frank
P. Wolch, joint chairman of the Ma
tional War Labor Board, said in a
statement made public tonight that
labor must not be expected to reurn
to the pre-war basis of wages and
working hours. The only hope for a
safe, orderly national development, ne
declared, is in the maiEtpinance OF
presnet wage levels and continuous
improvement of working conditions,
Investigations conducted by the
War Labor Board, Walsh said, show
that the lowest possible wage on
which worker and his family can
subsist in health and seasonable COM
fort is Tx cents an hour based on the
eight-hour day. These same inquir-
les, he asserted, revealed that before
the war the great majority, of the Ia
borers were earning for below the
amount necessary for decent and
healthy family existence"
Walsh predicted that there Will be
no return to the pre-war level OF costs
of necessities with in five years, at
least. and said that even with the re-
duction in living costs the present
wage standing must be maintained
for then athe workers in the average
industry will be receiving only fair
return for their work."

Many Witnesses
Airplane Flights

Fred Butterfeld and his companion,
Lieut.. Schrubbe, both of Scott Field,
who flew to Pennington last Thurs
day, mention of which was made in
The Times last week, returned to
Scott Field Friday afternoon.
They left the Clardy farm, where
they had landed the evening before,
shortly after one o'clock. They
reached the proper altitude and scared
over town several times at good rate
of speed. On one round when the
plane was near Mr.. Butterfield's home
they dipped down to within few hun
dred feet of the ground, but did not
light. After circling the town again
they attempted to land in the Doss
field but could not do so on account
of the crowd, and were forced to alight
in the large field back of r. P. Tay-
lor's home.
A large crowd gathered round the
plane after it ad-alighted. Mr.. But
terfeld and his companion went to
the formers home whore they re-
mained until about 2:30, when they
came back to the field to start back
to Belleville. They had some engine
trouble, which was caused by using
a different brand Of gasoline from
that they had been using, and were
DELAYED some time in starting. After
the engine trouble was remedled a
start was made and the plane, after
circling a few times, struck of IN
northwesterly direction for Bellevllle

Eugene Morris
Accidentally Shot

The sad intelligence was received
here Tuesday evening of the killing of
Eugene Morris, the 13-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Morris, at
his home in Benton, Ill. The shoot
ing was done by Eugene's compan-
ion and chum, Carl Werner, a youth
of 16 years. The boys were return
ing from a hunting trip when the sad
accident occurred. Young Werner was
walking little in the advance,
with shotgun over his shoulder, when
the gun was in some manner dis
charged, the entire load of small shot
striking Eugene in the face, at close
quarters.
The boys father, Clarence Morris,
was in Pennington only last week, in
attendance at the funeral of his fa-
ther, B. |. Morris. Mrs. ]. H. Radle
an aunt of the dead boy, received q
long distance message Wednesday
morning, stating that the mother hat
broken down from the intense shock
and was in critical condition.

that have recently appeared in The
Times concerning the exceptionally eff
ficient management of that excellent
institution. This is but another proof
of The Times assertion that the State

at least in its excellent management:

Disastrous Fire at
DR.. Smiths Home

At IL o'clock, noon, last Saturday the
whistle sounded a fire alarm, and i'm
mediately, from a large part of town,
the fire was located by dense vol
ume of smoke shooting skyward from
near the electric line where it turns
north on A street. AS the populace
began to gather, flames broke through
the roof. of DR.. o. A. Smiths splendid
two-story residence, and as the crowds
rapidly gathered workers became
numerous and did splendid work in
saving furniture from the first floor of
what appeared to be a doomed resi-
dence. Practically everything on the
first floor was removed before the
hose-cart arrived and water was
turned on, after which the flames were
suppressed in an increditably short
time.
DR.. Smith, who is in Uncle Sans
service, was at Camp Pike, Ark, and
Mrs. Smith, who was sick, was re-
moved 10 Mrs. Covers home, about
a block away. Harry, the 16-year-old
son, was the only other member of the
family at home. Dinner was being
served when the fire was discovered
by Aeighbor, who turned in the
alarm, so that there was quite a gath.
ering of people before the Smith fam
lily became aware that their home
was burning. While practically ev.
erything left in the house was de-
stroyed by fire and water, it is possi-
BILE that the house might be repaired
as it stands.
The married son, Laurence, who is
also in navy service, and his wife also
had considerable furniture and use
full and valuable articles packed ano
stored in the attic, which was fioored
and filled with valuable property. The
cause of the fire is mystery, though
the most plausible theory that has
been advanced is that it started from
electric wiring. The house was heat
ed by furnace, and the fire started il
the attic. DIR. Smith carried $2,5OC
insurance on the house, and $1,000 or
contents, which will not nearly cover
the actual loss.

Business Change
and Improvement

The change in the ownership of the
garage, at the northeast corner OF the
square in this city, formerly owned
by w. C. Robinson, has finally been
perfected, the new owners having TAX
en- charge last week. The new own
ers, composed of Judge j. H. Orten,
j. C. Williams, W. d. Druce and Lon
Overall, expect soon to capitalize the
company for $4,000, and propose to
very materially improve the present
business.
This garage has perhaps the best
location in this city for the conduct
of successful garage business. But,
in addition to garage, this company
proposes to engage extensively in the
retreading and rebuilding of tires, and
Mr.. Druce, one of the new owners
who will also be manager of the com.
pany, has already perfected and Sc
cured a patent on plan for rebuilding
tires which, it is claimed, has already
been demonstrated to be complete
success. By this process, old tire;
can be worked over into new ones, that
will stand equally as much usage as
new tires will stand up under, and at
cost of little more than half the cost
of new tire.
The Times confidently expects t.
see this garage to take on renewed
life and activity under its new man
agement.

Public Schools
Not Yet Open

1t was thought the latter part of
last week that the influenza situation
was so much improved that it would
be advisable to reopen school Mon
day morning. Handbills, announcing
the re-opening of school, were printed
and distributed. Sunday, however,
several new cases of influenza devel-
oped, so it was thought best to rescind
the previous order of re-opening. A
rush order of handbills was printed, to
this effect, and were distributed Mon
day morning early. Only few pup.
lis were not informed that school
would not open, and consequently, on
ly few reported.
We have received no information as
to when school will begin, but due no,
tice will be given when the situation
is such that it lis advisable to oper
school.

JOHN ]. MITCHELL
CHICAGO RAIL CHIEF
FOR U. S. CONTROL

Chicago, November 26-John j..
Mitchell, president of the Illinois
Trust and Savings Conmany, and a
director on four railroad boards,
among them the Pennsylvania, has
reached the conclusion that Govern
ment ownership and operation of rail-
roads furnishes the only adequate So
luton of the situation. He said to-
day:
Events which have taken place
since the period of the war have led
me to change completely my views
toward Government control Or foner-
ship of railroads and transportation
utilities. | was opposed to such a
proposition in the beginning, but now
believe that the salvation oft he
ship.
"a revision OF, the properties to
the origional owners would mean a
kind of chaos and inability to meet the
conditions of labor, railroad credits
and rates. The people as whole
will stand more from the Government
or municipality than from private
ownership of the transportation prop
critics.
"There is in the dir spirit bred by
the war, and special events in Europe
that cannot be ignored, and it points
toward Government and municipa
ownership or control. This view o.
the railroad situation you will find i;
general among the conservative rail
road interests of the West. We have
all been obliged to change our opin
ions because Of the changed condi
tions."

CHILDREN BUY RILEY STATUTE
BY "SWIMMIN' HOLE SALES Z.

Greenfield, Ind.,-School children
from all parts of the United States,
some from Hawii, and a few from
Japan, paid tribute to the memory of
James Whitcomb Riley, poet, when a
life-sized statute of the Indiana writer
was unveiled here to-day. Greenvile
was the birthplace Of Riley.
The statute was made possible by
funds raised through the schools by
the sale of pictures of "Ole Swimmin'
Hole" reproduced from a painting
several years ago by William Blk
ier, an artist of Anderson, Ind. One
of Riley's poems made the "Ole

paid for the stuatute.

Times OVerconeS
Serious Handicap

The Times has been very seriously
handicapped this week, owing to the
sickness with influenza of Mrs. Edgar
Zolman, which fact has caused Edgar
to feel that he should keep himself
somewhat secluded, in order to evade
all possibility Of spreading the dis
ease.
However, The Times emergency
only uncovered the latent talent OF
Edgar's helper, Burdette Johns, who
has exhibited considerable skill in the
manipulation of the keyboard of the
Mergenthaler, and has caused suf-
ficient type to "string up" to get to
press on time, which also menas that
the paper is placed in the hands OF
subscribers at about the usual hour. ;,
tAnd yet The Times force enjoyed
half holiday yesterday to digest
their dinner. So things are still
"smiling," Mrs. Zolman is getting
along nicely, and Edgar will prob
ably be able to return to work next
Monday.
