CABINET MEETING
HERE LAST WEEK

A Cabinet meeting of the st. Louis
Conference of the Epworth League,
M. f. Church, South, was held in the
M. E., South, Church here last Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday. The st.
Louis Conference embraces practical
ly all of Southeast Missouri, and del
egates from all this territory were in
attendance at the. meeting. The del
egates numbered eighteen. The pur-
pose of the meeting was to formulate
plans for the assembly at Arcadia
next summer and other important
business. Two helpful services were
held Sunday, the morning service be-
ing conducted by, Rev. Mr.. Ralph
Nollner of Nashville, Tenn, and the
evening service by Capt. Chas. Bell, a
returned Y. NJ. C. A. worker from
France, an account of whose lecture
appears below;
Vivid Description of Y. M. c. A.
Work.
Capt. Chas. Bull, of st. Louis, who
has only recently returned from
France, where he had seen seven
months service with the Y. M. c. A,
delivered lecture at the M. E.
Church, South, last Sunday night to
large audience. His lecture was a
recital of his experiences with our
American soldiers overseas.
Together with fifty-four other "Y'
secretaries. Capt. Bull sailed for over
seas duty last March. He arrived ov.
er there in due time and was assigned
to his first duty which was doing
canteen work. From there he was
transferred to a large casual camp, q
camp where men who have been lost
from their companies are reassigned
A large hospital was there also. AT
ter several weeks at this camp HI
/ was moved to a large aviation camp
Here he had charge of the amuse
ments and spiritual welfare of tn,
men, task that kept him busily en-
ployed from 6:45 a. m. to 11:30 p. m
The "Y" hut there furnished amuse
ment and entertainment to four o.
five hundred soldiers each night. Nov
ing pictures, soldier-talent stunts
lectures, religious services and talk
were the chief forms of entertain
ment and instruction. According t.
Capt. Bull, the soldiers in France arr
eager for religious services, contrar.
to what has been frequently reported
and focked to all such services. Capt
Bull recounted many wonderful ex
Iperiences of his good work over there
which we cannot give on account o

that those who did not attend misse'
a real chance to get some first-han
information from one who has bee

Investigations, so far, into that ne
farious business has implicated, or has
at least cast strong suspicion upon
some non-G Germans, whose American
ism dates back several generations.
Should such suspicion ripen into fact
it would clarity the situation wonder
fully. The potency Of money is prob
ablK,as powerful today as in the years
an6 ages preceding this time, and If
history be correctly written, every oc-
cas:on has produced its "1scarriotG"

through its life activities.
This great country of ours has been
the home of the German since its bir-

who during the early Colonial Wars,
especially the last one, the French and
Indian, that aided materially IN fX-
ing the destiny of the now world.
1t was through their cooperation that
America became English instead OF
French, and during the great Revolu-
tionary struggle when the days SEEM
ed the darkest for Freedoms cause
Steuben and DeCalb, fugitives from
oppression in their native land, came
to the New World and cast their lots
and lives into the life and death strug'
gle for freedom.
In our country there are many Am

we are we'll acquainted, and by M
act or deed have any of these beer

Where to Buy

1t is Altogether unnecessary, we feel,
to call attention of Times readers to
the splendid advertising of Farming
toms progressive merchants, with
which this issue is teeming. Such ad-
vertising will be seen by many thou
sands, and the attractive manner in
which they are displayed will cause
them to be generally read. When
they are read, and properly absorbed,
then The Times good work will have
been accomplished, as their contents
will impress all with the fact that The
Times advertisers have just the things
they desire for Christmas. Further

so far brought to light if viewed and
Judged inteliigently by minds unwarp-

Peace has come to the world, and
we should be very careful in our ac-

pected as the chief fosterers of this
un-American stuff.
Do the Investigations up to date

of German extracation, many OF whom

LEE OUGHT NOT TO
HAVE SURRENDERED

Although America is said to be
greatly advanced in manners, customs,
civilization and other things, more
so than any other nation in the world,
still some sections and people of this
country are rather moss-grown and
cob-webby, in other words are consid-
erably behind the times.
This is well illustrated by a story
that Opal Evans tells of a rookie in
the aviation camp at Fort Worth, Tex
where Opal received his first training
One day rookie at Fort Worth
was sitting off by himself, looking
rather disheartened and homesick. Ar
officer, thinking to cheer him up, went
over and started to engage him in con.
versation. The officer said, "Well
what do you think about the war;
The rookie looked up as though he hac
been reused from dream and said II
all earnestness, ~ don't think Lee
ought to have surrendered"
Ye Gods, when will he find out that
there was World War?

THE END OF A PERFECT DAY

Squire J. P. Zolman had busy
day in the matrimonial line Wednes-
day. At 12 o'clock noon Clifford By
ington of Flat River and Florence
Cowley of Pennington were married
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. De-
Van. After the marriage ceremony, a
sumptuous dinner was served to the
happy couple and their friends.
When the Squire returned to his
office on the Square he was confronted
by George Wallace and Clara Bayless
of Knob Lick, who also desired to have
the matrimonial knot tied.
When the sun hid its face Wednes-
day, the Squire, after tying the two
above knots, and attending to his
other duties, was wont to say
"Ah, this is the end OF perfect day.
Chas. Giessing, Jr., left Monday to

Caught on
Another Snag

Information reaches here through
st. Louis papers that Martin Weiss,
a notorious attorney Of that city, has
again been "snagged", this time by
disbarment proceedings. Seven cas-
es of improper conduct" are pending
against him. He represented the
Lewis boys, and out of such connec-
ton grows the charge Of his having
improperly retained money given him
by his clients. He is also charged
with purposely drawing up will so
that it could be contested, and with
having used the criminal courts to
force collections.
Weiss is "furriner", though,
his lineage appears to be somewhat
mixed. He has appeared in court in
this county, but succeeded only in
making very bad impression, and
there is charge pending in this
court against him for improperly re-
tanning money, which seems to be his
one "big act". It appears to be quite
probable that the present "snag" will
hold him, and eliminate him from fur
ther practice of law.

Gilbert c. Chandler, son of T. B.
Chandler, of Route 3, was one of 400
members of the Second Officers Train
ing Camp of the Marine Corps grad
uating at Quantico, Va, last Monday.
All received commissions as Second
Lieutenants.
Lieut.. Chandler has just finished
four months of strenuous training and
he passed splendid mental examina-
ton to win his shoulder bars.
The Marine Corps will continue to
train officers despite the end of the
war. This is because the Corps is to
be kept up to it's full strength. A
third officers training camp will open
January 2. Only enlisted men are ell
igible.

Pay Taxes Now,
Escape Penalty

According to a somewhat recent de-
cision of Attorney General McAllister,
County Collectors are to add an ad-
ditional per cent on all taxes not
paid during the current year. Accor-
ding to this decision, taxes for the
present year that are not paid by
Dec. 3lst, will have this penalty ad-
ded to them.
Collector Croke informs The Times
that this penalty will be added on and
after Jan. 1,1919. 1t is therefore, up
to all taxpayers to see that their tax.
es are paid this year, if they would
save this S per cent penalty. Taxes
are high enough without adding such
penalty and it will be quite a saving
especially to the larger taxpayers, tt
look after the payment of taxes before
the first of the new year.

A sob clings choking in the throat. as file

Between those cheering multitudes, to

The batteries halt. the columns wheel. to

With shoulders squared and faces front

Danger Unless All Citizens Do Their

has said that we cannot conclude
peace with any but constituted

That means that we must defeat, and
absolutely defeat the most powerful
war lord in all history, who has at his
command the most wonderful war ma
chine that has ever been devised. We
cannot defeat him with a pounding of
drums or waving of flags or with any
form Of national hyster,1. We can
only do it by concerted action in food
savin, shipbiulding, munitions MAX
ing and soldier training. The sooner
we settle down to this terrible task the
sooner it will be over. Every day that
we delay In our grasp of our response
bilities means the loss of so many hun
bred or so many thousands of our own
boys who will have to go to the
trenches for that l.1uch longer period
Of time. II we can resolutely and sue
cessfully meet this problem in the next
~ months it is probable that we can
by that time see what its conclusion is
likely to be.
At the present time no man can say

The following article by DIR. Ray
Lyman Wilbur president Of Stanford
University, is issued by the Commit
tee on Public Information:
1t is surprising how few of our
Americans have grasped the signifi-
canoe Of the fact that in Australia, q
country that has contributed matteri-
ally to this war, there is, as the result
of at least two harvests, piled up a
vary large quantity of cheap and prac-
tically government owned wheat, much
of it in the open air, where it cannot
be adequately protected from various
kinds Of damage. Yet we have had
an unprecedented call upon our wheat
supply in this country and in Canada
resulting in q great increase in prices,
due to the fact that the European ma
tons absolutely required wheat for the
sustenance of their people. The an
swer to this apparent anomaly is that
it takes three times as long for ship
to go to Australia for food as it does
to go to Canada or the United States,
and the world has not the shipping
available for the long hauls because
of the submarine menace and the ext
gencies of war.
Oil and other food stocks are also
piled upon the Asiatic and African
coasts awaiting shipment, while we are
using food fats in our soap because
we cannot get at these stores.
The most pressing problem before
the United States and the nations en-
gagged with it in the war against the
Hohenzollern dynasty is to supply food
and ships and thus defeat the German
submarine attack upon the left flank
Of the western front.
Must Be Done in America.
The western front simply must be
maintained and must eventually be
pushed forward by Americans, or
there will be no final conclusion to the
great catastrophe.
Many of our people do not seem to
realize thta we have entered into the
great struggle Of autocracy versus de-
mocracy, and that President Wilson
