The membership of Zion Band is much larger
than these, and the playing averages up with the
best of them, as has been attested by many
visitors to Zion City who have expressed aston
ishment that we have band here of this type.
When boys have played in neighboring
cities, the crowds have applauded to the echo,
calling for repeated encores The people of Zion
City are used to high-class musical concerts and
think but little of it, but when the Zion Band goes
to outside cities it Immediately attracts attention
1t is no exaggeration to say that we have band
here which can not be equaled outside of Mil
waukee, Chicago Or St. Louis; competent musical
critics will bear this out.
The membership of Zion Band with but one or
two exceptions, consists of professional play
ers = that is young men who work in offices
and institutions and who do not give their entire
time to the work However, there is probably no
other place in the United States where musical
talent is given such opportunities for advance
ment as in Zion City.
The instruction and rehearsals are of the most
thorough character, under the leadership of Con-
ductor P. B. Newcomer who has had wide ex-
perence in band work. The members are able
to play at sight, rendering difficult piece of new
music WE'LL the second time over. They handle
fourth to eighth grade music in public playing,
and have rendered some of the heavier concert
selections creditably They expecting to take
up the study of heavy overtures this coming win
ter The instruments are beautiful and costly,
having been imported, for the most part, from
Great Britain.

REFUSAL TO BUY BONDS

Maryville, Mo-, Oct. FL Rankin
Lyle, leading resident of this coun-
ty, was publicly daubed with yellow
paint on the street Saturday after
noon, following his refusal to pur-
chase $500 in Liberty Bonds. Lyle,
who is wealthy, being listed by the
Campaign Committee as being worth
more than 100000, was approached
on the street and asked by the COM
mittee of business men to increase his
subscription of $50. He refused, tell
ing the committee they must not die
tate what he should do with his mon
ey. A key of yellow paint was OBJ
tanned, and in the presence of crowd
of more than a thousand he was
daubed literally with the fluid. Lyle
was then hustled into dray and pa
raded through the business section
followed by crowd-which hooted and
jeered. Lyle still refused to buy more
bonds. Members of the committee
were prepared to tar and feather him
and rope was about his body when

RHODES DENIAL

Pennington, Mo-, October 20, 1918.
Editor Pennington Times, Farming
ton, Mo.
Dear Mr.. Editor: My attention is
called to an editorial appearing in The
Times, October 4th, 1918, criticising
my attitude toward the war. Among
other things, the following was stat
ed:
"He is reputed, in a speech to a
contingent of our soldier boys leaving
his county for training camp last
April to have said in effect"
"I have given this war careful
study and have not yet been able. to
satisfy my own mind that the United
States is either right or justified in
getting into the war"
Kindly permit me through the col
umns of your paper to enter my de-
NAL of the alleged statement. ! never
made that statement at Potosi or any
where else. never made any state
ment that could have been reasonably
construed into the statement imputed
to me. Hence l denounce the report
as campaign story designed to do
me a political wrong.
Thanking you, l beg to remain,
Very respectfully,
M. Z. RHODES.

MISSOURI VEGETABLES, 1918

That Missouri farm vegetables did
surprisingly we'll in the face of a
very unfavorable season is shown by
Field Agent E, A. Logan and Secre-
tary Jewell Mayes of the United
States Bureau of Crop ESTIMATES and
State Board of Agriculture in joint
investigation on vegetable crops.
The Missouri yield of Irish potatoes
is 100000 bushels in 1916 against
9,483,000 last year, indicating 98,660
bushels in 1918 and $4,000 in 1917,
The production of beans is 81 per
cent Of full crop against 300 per
cent in 1917. Tomatoes So per cent
against SO per cent, cabbage So per
cent against SO per cent, and onions
n per cent against 81 per cent in
1917.
The acreage Of potatoes was in
creased over 1917 but the season was
very unfavorable, bugs were bad, and
the aphids did great damage. The
extreme heat of July and August hit
the crop at critical time in the north
portion of the State, while that of the
West side south of the river was also
damaged.
Sweet potato slips were set in the
midst of a severe drouth, causing bad
stands, followed by dry weather
greatly retarding the growth of vines,
yet splendid improvement has been
made since the rains; lateness of
frost has aided maturity.
The acreage of dry beans was much
less than last year, but more than the
usual year; the condition is 81 per
cent of normal crop against 300 per
cent last year, which was the largest
production ever known in this State.
The crop would have been larger ex-
cept for drouth, farmers having more
experience, and with favorable season
better crop would have been made
than last year; also better seed was
used.
Tomatoes were So per cent Of nor
NAL against SO last year. After the
rains, the crop made great improve
ment in the southwest section where
the canning crop is raised, but con-
tinued wet and cool weather fosteped
rotting and prevented ripening, les
SEEMING the production. Cabbages, So
per cent of full crop against SO last
year, also suffered from drouth. Ear
ly cabbage was good but the middle
crop was poor; however the late crop
makes better showing but with heads
bursting in some fields. Onions are
n per cent of full production against
90 last year, largely out of the way
early in the season, showing better
condition than any other of our veg
etable crops.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

County Health Officer Haney states
that present indications are that the
influenza ban may be lifted, partial
ly at least) at several points in the
county at a date not later than Mon
day of next week. The County Super
intendent will get out letter to the
Clerks of all School Boards just as
soon as DR.. Haney has taken positive
action. Until that time all schools
should, of course, remain closed.
Owing to the epidemic of influenza
prevalent in Southeast Missouri and
the resulting ban on all public meet
ings, the officers of the Southeast
Missouri Teachers Association have
found it advisable to postpone the
meeting which was to have been held
this week to sometime in March,
1919. The exact date of the meeting
will be announced later. The officers
believe the teachers generally will APP
prove this action and ask the hearty
cooperation of all teachers in max
ing the meeting in March the biggest
and best in the history of the Asso-
citation.
81 The following extracts are taken
from recent circular sent out by
State Superintendent Lamkin and no
doubt will prove of general interest:
"Mr. c. F. Ait of st. Joseph makes
the following suggestions which l
am glad to pass on to you. On Tues
day of every week every child in your
school, as a part of his regular work,
should write letter to an American
soldier or sailor in the service of his
country. Let the children send this
letter with the home letter so that the
boys of America will understand that
the million children of Missouri for
whom they are fighting are thinking
of them and are interested in them.
"No doubt you have the request
from the Government to save peach,
apricot, plum, cherry, and prune pits,
hickory nuts, walnuts, butter nuts and
the shells of those nuts. The Govern
ment needs carbon. Two hundred
peach pits produce enough carbon for
one gas mask. Would it not be well
for you to put a barrel, probably
painted in the national colors, at ev-
cry school building and ask the boys
and girls to collect these things which
the Government needs?

Poultry Culling Demonstration at S,
F. MeCarty's.
Mr.. A. W. David, Of the Patterson
School district, arranged for poultry
culling demonstration at S. F. Nc
Carty's on Monday morning, Oct. 21st.
A good crowd attended the demon
stration, and the County Agent has
not seen any better interest dis
played anywhere than he found in this
community.
Three breeds of chickens were GULL
ed-White LeghOrns, Rhode Island
Reds and Barred Rocks. The Barred
Rocks and the Rhode Island Reds
were found to be much better individ-
uals than the Leghorns.
GrubwOrms Damage Wheat.
Maurice Highley, farmer living
near Pennington has field of wheat
which is being seriously injured by
grub worms. The wheat was sown on
ground which had heavy crop of
sweet clover turned under in August
and was giving promise of making an
excellent piece of wheat. For some
reason this field happens to be pretty
badly infested with grub worms,
which are cutting off quite lot of
the wheat. Some cold weather would
likely stop this damage.
Single Tax Amendment to be
Voted On.
The Single Tax Amendment will be
placed on your ballet at the coming
election. Do your part to defeat it
unless you want your land to bear all
the taxes, while the big corporations
and commercial interests will be ex-
empted from taxation in the main.
