Frightful Accident

Ernest Knopf, proprietor of Knopf's
Bakery, on East Columbia street, sus-
tain a frightful and exceedingly pain
full injury at o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon, which may cost him the loss
of his right arm to the elbow. He was
working at his bread roller, or break,
and held a cloth in his right hand,
which was caught in the roll and
drew his hand into the machine almost
to the elbow, where the thickness of
the arm prevented it going farther.
The electric switch was out. of his
reach, and the boy who was with him
was too paralyzed to think to turn off
the switch. So he was compelled to
submit to the frightful grinding pres
sure until Mrs. Knopf, who was in the
front end of the bakery, could get to
his relief.
The flesh and bones of his hand and
wrist were horribly crushed in the
machine, causing intense suffering.
Mr.. Knoff was hurried in an automo-
bile to the Bonne Terre Hospital,
where everything possible is being
done to Save the arm from amputa-
tion, to which he most strenuously OBJ
jects. He is enduring the almost in
sufferable pain with the greatest pos
sible fortitude, and the doctors now
believe there is chance to save the
arm, providing blood-poisoning can
be prevented, though it is hardly pos
sible that the hand can be restored to
it's normal condition.
While the result will most certain
ly be severe and permanent loss to
Mr.. Knopf, incapacitating him in the
work in which he has spent practically
all his life, his friends sincerely hope
that his arm may be saved to him, ev-
en- though it be impaired somewhat
from active use.

Raised on Square

The raising of the flag pole on the
public square Wednesday was the oc-
casion of the gathering of considera-
BILE crowd of citizens, all of whom
willingly donated their services in an
attempt to do their bit il such patri-
otic endeavor. The pole is eighty feet
above the solid concrete foundation,
and is constructed Of iron piping in
twenty-foot sections, each section be-
ing of smaller dimensions than the
one on which it rests. The pole rests
on large stone which was placed in
the bottom Of an excavation 6 feet
deep and Z feet square, which has
been filled with concrete, making it
substantial.
The pole was constructed by the
National Lead Co., at actual cost to
them. Experts from the mines were
also present to superintend the raising
of the pole, which was performed in
expert manner. Pennington is now in
position to fly high Old Glory, of
which fact all citizens should be very
proud.

STANDING OF CANDIDATES

that there will be scarcely time to
catch your breath before everything
is over; before the winner is named
and the proud victor begins taking en-
joyment in the prize won.
Realizing that the remaining time
will pass quickly because Of the ex-
citement attached to the close, the
management of this campaign wishes
to ask whether or not hard work NOW
will not be worth more than ALL
THE REGRETS IN THE WORLD af-
ter the race has been lost. If so, then
there is just one simple proceeding for
those who wish with all their hearts
to win and that is to make every hour,
yes, every minute count between now
and the finish.
This newspaper has urged candi-
dates to do their very best right along,
but now it wishes to lay particular
stress upon the final necessity of look
ing the situation squarely in the face
and seeing where, on the very thresh-
hold of victory, your supreme efforts
must be called forth if you would be
returned winner of first honors and
the attendant award.
Better Be Safe Than Sorry.
Overconfidence has lost many bat
ties. Relaxation at this stage of the
game is suicidal to success. Deter
mination to win, coupled with relent-
less activity is vote-getting, will make
any candidate winner. What is in
tended TO be done must be done now.
To temporize is to let some candidate
sweep ahead and claim the prize that
would have been yours,
At the present time the manage
ment of this newspaper, as well as
the campaign manager, is as much in
the dark as to the ultimate winners as
the most casual reader, which makes
the final wind-up extremely interest
ing, if not exciting.

Saturday, June 15--at which time The

comes to an official close, and the

Are you going to be the one to
finish triumphantly with an over
whelming number of votes, or are
you going to be content with what you
now have and see the efforts of these
many weary weeks go to waste and
the rewards of the contest wrested
from your grasp by more aggressive
competitors 1t is up to you now or
let your opponents beat you to it!
Success in an affair of this kind de-
pends upon keen judgment and imme-

people possessing the faculty of
knowing a good thing when they see
it, and grasping it at the right mo-
ment, have won Frequently on the
last turn of the cards) the good things
of this world, while those undecided
and afraid stand back and talk about
what they might have done.
The end is but few hours away,
yet, if you can trust your own judg-
fnent as to your competitor's strength,
based on facts, figures and observa-
tions, and lay your plans accordingly,
there is time still to stem the tide of
defeat and turn it to sweeping vic
ory.
