St, Francois Co.Boy
Wins State Prize

Milton Menge, of near Pennington,
won second prize in the State Boys
Acre Corn Yield contest, at Colum-
bia last week. Milton entered the con-
test last spring by joining the Boys
Corn Growing Club which was organ
lied and conducted by County Agent
Foard.
If it hadn't been for Milton's sick
ness during the summer, which neces-
STATED some lack of cultivation of
his corn, he no doubt would easily
have won first place.
Both first and second prizes in the
Acre Yield contest were won by
Southeast Missouri boys. First prize,
which amounted to $25 in cash, was
won by Joe Hensley, of Jackson coun-
ty, brother of our Assistant County
Agent. His production was 124
bushels. Milton came in close sec
ond with 120 bushels. Besides the
honor which is attached to this plac-
ing he receives a cash reward of SIS.
This splendid work of one of our
boys should be stimulus for the boys
of the county to enter the Corn Grow
ing Club this spring.

Again the Blue
Cross Notice

This week the Blue Cross again ap-
pears on all subscriptions that expire
Feb. 1st, 1918. Perhaps all understand
by this time that if the Blue Cross ap-
pears on their paper it means that is
the last Times they will receive until
the subscription is advanced. We wish
again to state that it is far from our
desire to drop any names from The
Times list, but since we have adopted
the "cashin-advance" plan, there can
positively be no exceptions to this
rule, which must be made general.
Therefore il Feb. 1st. next, marks the
date to which your subscription is
paid, we sincerely hope you will re-
new before next week, else you will
miss next weeks paper.
Another thing which The Times
management hopes this Blue Cross
notice will be is that it will remind
every Times subscriber that next
Thursday, Jan. 3lst, will positively
be the last day on which this paper
can be secured at the rate of $1.00
per year. On and after Feb. 1st,
1918, the price of The Times will be
$1.50 the year. This is the last no.
tice that will be given of such ad-
vance, and all should see that their
is paid before next Fri
day to the date they desire it ex-
tended at the present price of $1.00.

Old Case Against the McBriens
Apparently Finally Been Ended

The case of The St. Francois Coun-
ty Bank, of this city, against John
and Mary McBrien, which was heard
in the U. s. Court in st. Louis last
week, has apparently finally been dis
posed of, the decision being in favor of
the plaintiff in the case.
During the year 1918 the St. Fran
co.'s County Bank secured Judgment
in the Circuit Court of st. Francois
county for $9,981 against the defend
ants, and the Farmers Bank, of this
city, also secured judgment for ST.
800. A levy was then made by j. c..
Williams, who was then Sheriff, on
some mules and other property owned
by the McBriens, which were sold,
and which sale was contested in the
Court until last May.
In September, 1917, the st. Fran
co.'s County Bank asked for an alias
execution, which was placed in the
hands of Sheriff Adams, who made a
levy on the life interest of Mary Nc
Brien in the McBrien farm. The
farm was advertised for sale under
the levy, but before the sale could be
made, Mary McBrien filed an involun
tary petition for bankruptcy in the
United States District Court, and
that court issued an order restrain
ing Sheriff Adams from further pro-
ceedings under his levy and advertise

1nent.
In her petition, she scheduled liza
bilities in the sum of $4,000. The
aforesaid banks, with other creditors,
intervened, and Referee Coles ap-
pointed Jerry B. Burks as trustee.
Messrs. Frank Coffman, John Harter
and William Ryan were appointed ap-
praisers, and appraised the value of
the farm at S11,736. Mary McBrien's
life Interest at S5,432.03, and her per-
sonar property at $500. The trustee
then set off to Mrs. McBrien as a
homestead, AZ acres on which the
house, barn and other buildings are
situated.
Upon the Trustee filing his report
with the Referee in Bankruptcy, Mary
McBrien filed a motion asking that
the appraisement be set aside, and af-
ter testimony was heard from both
sides, before Referee Coles in St.
Louis, the Referee overruled Mary
McBrien's motion, also her objec-
tions and exceptions to the Trustees
report.
The life estate in this splendid farm
of 280 acres, which is one of the fin
est in st. Francois county, will be sold
in the near future at Pennington to
the highest bidder for cash, which
will go toward satisfying the judg-
ments that have been secured against
said defendants.

Many Appreciations Received
In Regard to Article Last Week

having been employed for that work
by Mr.. Crane, president of the st.
Joe Lead Co. In fact The Times is
not aware that Mr. Denman has yet
made his appearance before the State
Tax Commission, though he was to
have left on such mission the first of
last week. But when anything fur
ther develops in regard to this mat
ter, Times readers can rest assured
that it will be printed in these col
umns. While Mr.. Denman puts his
employment in this matter, as tax
expert, on the ground of represent
ing all the taxpayers, the fact that he
is to receive his pay from the lead
companies is sufficient indication, so
The Times believes, as to who is ex-
pecting TO receive benefit from his
work. We cannot recall that the lead
companies have been handing out
gratuities for the benefit of the tax
payers in general.
But there is one other matter that
The Times would impress upon its
readers. That is the splendid work
that has been done by Assessor Law
tCiSS W. "CllS, WnpSS ldSJ doSGSo-
ment, as well as previous ones, are
absolutely fair to them, as they are,
in reality, fair also to the lead com
panies. Assessor Wells has only
raised the lead companies assess
ments to somewhere in the neighbor-
hood Of what they should have been
all the time. They have failed abso-
lutely to bluff, cajole or control him,
hence are they peeved. Through the
work of such public officials as Law
renee Wells has proved himself to be
can the taxpayers expect a fair and
square deal. His excellent record in
that office has won and drawn the
commentator of Cornelius Roach,
who is chairman of the State Tax
Commission.

Is Now Major
Henry Davis

Lieut.. Henry Davis, enlisted from
Pennington on the first call for vol
unteers, and who has been stationed
at Camp Funston for the past sew
eral months, has been promoted to
the rank of Major Judge Advocate of
the United States Army, with assign
ment to Fort Riley and Camp Funs-
ton.
The many friends of Major Davis
will be pleased to know of his promo
ton. He was Prosecuting Attorney
of st. Francois county two years,
having been retired from that posi-
tion at the last election. He is a ca
pable and deserving young man, and
his friends throughout this country
are confident that ne will make an
army record of which they can justly
feel proud.

An unusual number of citizens
among them many farmers, have
thanked the editor the past week for
the article in last weeks Times
headed care Preparing to Start
Something. Practically all of them
have stated, in different words, that
was just what they desired in their
home paper-a publication that is
truly representative of their own feel
ings and desires in such important
matters as taXation-one that has
due regard and consideration for their
interests, as well as for all other in
terests, and that is not backward in
expressing its sentiments.
1t is just such sentiments as we
have received the past week that
makes The Times management feel
abundantly repaid for its efforts to
see that justice is meted out to the
people of st. Francois county, not on
ly in regard to taxation, but in SER
vice that of right should be expected
from railways and other corporations.
This is the fight this paper has been
making ever since the present man
agement has been in control. And we
will again state that it is our inten-
ton to continue such fight until the
most glaring inequalities, which have
long been in existence, have been, in
a measure at least, corrected. So long
as we are sustained in the hearty
manner indicated by the expressions
called forth by last weeks article, we
will feel strengthened and sustained
sufficiently to carry such fight to a
successful conclusion.
No information has yet reached us
as to what development has material
lied before the State Tax Commission
following the proposed appearance
before that body of C. B. Denman as
the representative of the mining COM
panies in this matter, Mr.. Denman

PAPER TRACK FOR BIG
SIX-DAY BIKE RACE

New York, Nov. 9-The manage
mGnt Of the annual six-day bicycle
race to be held here next month is
considering a proposal to construct a
paper track in Madison Square Garden
for the holding of the contest. All pre-
vious six-day races here have taken
place on board tracks.
A manufacturer has offered to con-
struct a paper track which viii cost
less and take less time to erect than
the regulation wooden one. Such a
track can be built in sections, and
takes only about five hours to put to-
gether, while it takes about rs hours
to build the regular wooden one. 1t
is claimed for the paper tracks that
they are more durable and that great
er speed can be made on them.
Six-day bicycle races held in Paris
in recent years have taken place on
paper tracks. No tracks of this kind
have ever been used in America for the
six-day races, but some of the old
time sport followers declare that the
construction of such track will not
be altogether an innovation for Ameri-
ca. They recall to mind that as long
ago as the SOS there were roller skat-
ing Kinks in this country floored with
paper, in the same manner in which
the paper tracks are now prepared. In
dianapolis and several other cities;
boosted of Kinks of this kind, and after
the roller skating craze began to sub
side some of these paper Kinks were
used for exhibitions in bicycle riding.
