PUBLISHING TAX LIST

That part owners or mortgage hold
ers will have to pay fees to title Com.
panies to investigate whether taxes
are paid upon many classes of property
is the condition that will be faced if
the Jackson bill is enacted next Tues
day. The bill abolishes publication OF
the delinquent tax list, and substitutes
a flimsy and necessarily incomplete
system Of private notification by mail.
The mail notice cannot reach more
than one person, while there are many
pieces of property that are owned
jointly, or in which an individual owns
an equity. The taxes might go unpaid
for many years without such owners
ever having any chance to find out
about it. Often the party receiving
the mail notice would have failed to
pay the taxes, and his associates in
ownership would be entirely without
protection unless they engaged the
services of title company to look up
tie records, service which might be
expensive.
Besides the actual owner Of property,
there are holders of mortgages, pur-
chasers under contract, assignees of
contracts, holders of unrccorded in
struments, lessees and others who are
interested in the payment of taxes.
Mail notice would never reach these
interested parties. Under the present
system Of annual publication anyone
can see whether the taxes are paid or
not, and those interested in property
on which taxes have become delinquent
are enabled to take proper steps for
their own protection.
Confusion, misrepresentation, delay
in tax payments and gross breaches
in trust are all certain to be fostered
by abloshing publication and substitut-
ing the inadequate system of mail no.
tices. No one owning any interest in
a piece Of property, or expecting to
buy property, will vote against tax list
publication after carefully considering
what would be sure to happen were
open publicity dispensed with for the
incomplete private notice system.

Training School
for Nurses

At State Hospital No. is a
little industrial world, where efficient
conservation is becoming the keynote
in every department. DR.. J. L. Eaton,
Superintendent, states that the steady
advancement in medical science ne
cessitates training school for nurses
to bring State Hospital No. 4 in har-
mony with the times, and it is most
encouraging that this school found i'm
mediate favor with those for whom it
was intended.
A class of sixty-two attendants will
attend weekly lectures by the Medical
Staff, and these lectures, supplement-
ed by their daily work in the wards,
at the bedside, in laboratories, and
elsewhere in the Hospital and its en-
vironments, will insure the efficiency
that never before existed in this in
stitution. Hospital Superintendent
are measured by their constructive en-
ergy, and their vigilance in caring for
the mentally i'll entrusted to their care
and in all their progressive move
ments, material aid and assistance
will be rendered by the active coop
Grafton of officers, the assistant ply
sicians, trained and competent attend,
ants. This unity of purpose will guar
antee the continued success that has
marked the present administration o1
this State Institution.

DEATH OF SPLENDID
OLD CITIZEN

The death of Benjamin Irwin Nor
ris occurred at his home in this city
at 2 O'Clock Tuesday morning, Nov.
10th, at the age Of n years, 3 months
and II days. Deceased had been sick
for some time, suffering from COM
plication of diseases, and had but re-
Gently undergone an operation in St.
Louis. which failed of any perma-
nent benefit. Consequently it had
been known for several days in ad-
vance that death was not far removed.
"Uncle Irch," as he had been IA
miliarly known to his many friends,
had for many years been an exten-
sive dealer in live stock, in which he
was very successful. He was known
to all as a man of sterling integrity,
and to all who knew him his word
was as good as bond In his death

most worthy citizens, whose influ-
ence could always be depended to be
on the right side Of all questions for
the public veal. Even up to a few
weeks, before "Uncle Irch" was forced
to his bed, his industry was almost
marvellous, and it has frequently been
said by his friends that it was his un-
conquerable industry that had kept
him up and active so long.
On June 1st, 1865, deceased was
married to Miss Martha Patterson. To
this union ten children were born
Five children are still living. They
are: Clarence Morris of Benton, ILL.,,
Mrs. Emma Radle and Emmett Nor
ris of this city, Mrs. Florence Jones
OF Los Angeles, Calf, and Mrs. Belle
Greenly of Muskogee, Okla. All the
children were in attendance at the
funeral except Mrs. Jones.
On March 9th, 1885, his first wife

County Clerk-elect
Selects Deputy

County Clerk Elect Marvin W.
Crowder the first of the week made
the announcement that he had Sc
lected for his Chief Deputy Clerk, w.
w. Waters. The selection of Mr..
Waters insures most competent as
sistance in that important office,
and is guarantee to the many
who will have business in that
office during the term of Office Of
Clerk Crowder, which commences
January 1st, next, most efficient and
careful attention to the many details
in that office, where efficiency is Ct
vital Importance.
Mr.. Waters has had much expert
ence in office work of various kinds,
and especially in the work that must
be transacted in the County Clerks
Office, where experience is prime es-
sential. While Mr.. Waters is most
competent for the work that will be
required Of him, he is also most af-
fable and pleasing gentleman, who
will render most material assistance
in making business visitors to that Of
fee feel comfortable. County Clerk
Elect Crowder is to be congratulated
on being able to secure such an ex-
cellent Chief Deputy as Mr.. Waters
will doubtless prove to be.

Presbyterian
Missouri Synod

Because of the unabated prevalence
of influenza the Synod of Missouri,
Presbyterian Church u. S. has post
poned the second time and now the
date of meeting is rather indefinite.
1t is the opinion and hope of the city
health officers that this meeting can
be held on Dec. 10, and arrangements
are in a general way being made for
this date. :.
Some have expressed a wish that it
might be possible to omit this meeting
of Synod entirely this year, and such
may be imperative; but there: are sew
eral matters of business so impera-
tive to the interests of the church
that an omission of the 1918 session
should be only last resort, and an
unavoidable condition.
We believe, that while it will be in
convenient for some who have kindly
opened their homes to visitors, the
Presbyterians will be as magnana-
nous and hospitable as ever, and the
work of the church, already so great
ly hindered by the closeup" ordi-
nance along with other interests, can
attend to vital matters that concern
her life and service. Unfortunately
the attendance will likely be small be-
cause of the influenza being so gen.
eral, and the entertainment will be q
small matter. Further announcement
will be made next week.

What's the Matter
With DeSoto I?

Nigh onto six months ago, Bro. W..
E. Grow in his DeSoto Republican,
made strong and worthy plea for a
fund for the erection of flag pole
and the purchase of service flag for
that place, the pole to be used to fly
the flag, and the flag to add beauty
and dignity to the pole. Bro. Crow
headed the list with 81 contribution,
and has for these several months
been urging the people for contribu-
tions to that fund, practically every
week.
The sum total of such contribu-
tions has now reached the munificent
ca sum of something like $25, really
not enough to have paid for the space
which Bro. Crow has given to such
project, if charged for at the regular
rate. And for such purpose! Think
of it! that long-running and insignifi-
cant list of contributions to flag
pole and service flag certainly is a
poor commentary on the stalwart and
full-blooded Americanism of our sis
ter city of DeSoto.
A few hours would be all the time
necessary to put over little thing like
that in Pennington, requiring but a
few hundred dollars.s And yet Farm
ington has hardly half the population
claimed by DeSoto. In its "The Cap
tain Says" column last week the Re-
publican says that letters received
from the boys "at the front" indicate
that if that "pole and service fiag''
fund is not soon completed, that they
propose to get busy and raise the
necessary amount themselves. Surely
such "threat" will be sufficient to put
that fund over forthwith, besides CIV
ing to DeSoto some appearance of pa
triotism, as well as enabling the Re-
publican to devote the space it has
been freely giving to something that
might prove to be more profitable
than that project has proven to be.

Chairman holland
Makes Good Report

Now that the sale of War Saving
and Thrift Stamps has been footed
up, as nearly as is possible, the show
ing for st. Francois county, as given
in the report of Chairman E. T. No
land, to Acting Director George Oh
iver Carpenter, Jr., in st. Louis,
seems very good. But the best part
of this report, which is given below,
is the very large proportion of SUBJ
scriptions that have been actually.
paid.
While this report shows that the
original apportionment of this coun-
ty has not been nearly approached, it
is also an indication that the appro-
tionment, while perhaps in accord
with the general plan that was follcw-
ed, was out of all proportion, when the
somewhat unusual conditions that OBJ
tain in st. Francois county is consid-
cred While this is On unusually
wealthy, as we'll as populous county,
large part of the wealth is owned
by non-residents, and a great part of
the people are laborers, who have lit
tie property and are largely depend
ent on their earnings. For these rea-
sons, the apportionment that was
originally fixed for this county was
out of proportion.
The people of this county, The
Times feels, are to be congratulated
on the splendid showing they have
made in the purchase of War Savings
and Thrift Stamps, as the principal
object sought to be obtained in such
sales was for the purpose of keeping
up the public morale, as well as to
teach lessons in thrift and economy.
The following is the report of Chair
man holland, who is also entitled to
the hearty thanks of the people of
this county for the time he has de-
voted to this cause for which he has
received not one cent of pay:

Patriotic
Physicians

During these troublesome days in
Pennington, when the "fiu", or Black
Death, or whatever may be its proper
name, is ravaging many homes, as
well as bringing death to some and
sorrow to many, the physicians of this
city are being called upon for stren-
uous service, and nobly indeed have
they been responding to the many
calls with which they are kept food
ed. They are doing everything that
mortal can do to relieve and to restore
the stricken ones to health-their
best.
But the call to military duty has
drawn largely on the practicing ply
sicians of this community, SO that
there remains hardly enough physi-
clans to attend to the sick in ordinary
times, when sickness is rare excep-
ton, rather than the prevalent thing
it is now nearly approaching. Their
number has been reduced at least by
half in Pennington, but those who re-
main are constantly in attendance on
patients, with but little time to eat or
to refresh themselves, and it approach
es a mystery as to how they manage to
devote such long and nerve-racking
hours to their patients.
Another thing that demonstrates
their answering patriotism and love
for their fellowman is that they never
hesitate to ask themselves, when two
or more calls may come in at practic-
ally the same time, which will per-
haps be the best paying patient. They
either respond in the order the calls
are received, or else adjust them to
their own convenience, so as to see as
many as possible in given length of
time. The Times, with all good cit
izens, desires to extend heartfelt
thanks and congratulations to the
physicians of Pennington in the man.
ner in which they are "going over the
top" to rout the insidious disease that
now appears to be at its maximum OF
devastation in this vicinity.
