Berlin Publishes
Counter Proposals
Memorandum Aims TO
Put ''Entire Work Of
Peace on New Basis"

LONDON, May 2S.-Thc German
counter-proposals to the Allied peace
terms were published in Berlin to-day
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Copenhagen says.
The reply asserts the willingness OF
Germany to reduce her armaments to
a greater extent than demanded by the
Allies.
Germany, the reply says, refuses to
accept the punishment terms fixed by
the peace treaty and it is declared
that the Allies cannot both accuse and
sentence Germans guilty Of RESPONSE
bllity for punishable acts.
In spite Of the great length of the
German counter proposals, a dispatch
from Berlin by way of Copenhagen
says the memorandum does not go into
all details Of the Allied terms, but
aims ito place the entire work of peace
on new basis"

NOVEL PLAN OF ADVERTISING

Claude Porter, representing the
Duplex Chair Co., has opened quarters
in the old Autsen stand, on the west
side of the square, where he has on
exhibition samples of his combina-
tSon chairs and tables, in three diff
ferent woods, Golden Oak, Fumed Oak
and Early English. Only a glance at
this furniture is necessary to impress
one with its serviceabeness. As
chair, it looks like nothing but a COM
Portable, easy chair. But by simply
raising the back, which automatically
locks itself, it becomes, apparently,
good, strong, serviceable table, and
nothing more. 1t is in fact "a dou-
bic article in single space, and
good ones at that.
But the best part of this proposition
is, that while Duplex Chairs will sell
for $22.50, by the unique plan that is
being followed by this company, they
will in reality cost all who order dur
ing this introduction campaign not
one cent. The plan is to give trading
stamps on local merchants to the
amount of $22.50, which is the price
of this exceedingly convenient piece
of furniture. You will not have to be
asked for your order after you have
seen the Duplex Chair, and had the
plan of payment explained to you.
Your order will come voluntarily.
But trading stamps will be given only
during the advertising campaign.

WILS0N-CLAY

The marriage of Miss Alva Marie
Clay, only daughter of Judge and Mrs.
j. S. Clay, and Charles Ralph Wilson,
of Kansas City, took place at the
Christian Church in this city, Sasur-
day afternoon, Oct. 18th, at half after
one o'clock, Rev. r. S. Boyd, of the
Presbyterian church, officiating.
The darkened church was entirely
banked with ferns,- relieved b., sprays
of golden rod, and q beautiful arch
was improvised in one corner, where
the bridal party stood, white satin rib
bons forming the aisles leading to it.
Before the bridal party appeared,
Barbara Caroline Tullock played two
selections on her violin, and Mrs.
Orear sweetly sang two numbers
which were Immediately followed by
the Mendelsohn Wedding March rem
dered by Prof. Porter's Orchestra, to
which the party entered the church.
Miss Marion Guessing, in blue taf-
feta, with hat to match, and Miss En-
lily Matkin, in pink taffeta, with hat
to match, were bridesmaids, while
Miss Leila Parkin, of Fredericktown,
in cloth of gold, and an over-drapery
of bronze tulle, with hat to match,
was maid of honor. Each carried a
beautiful shower bouquet. Gilbert
Antoine, of Doe Run, and DR.. Homer
T. Clay, of the City Hospital, St.
Louis, acted as ushers, and Frank
White, of Kansas City, best man. All
wore dress suits.
Josephine Watkins as ring bearer,
and Winifred Carleton and Gwendolin
Robinson as flower girls, looked
dainty and sweet in white organdies.
The bride came down the aisle on
the arm of her father, who gave her
away, and they were met at the alter
by the groom. She appeared radiant
ly beautiful in gown made of brides
satin, trimmed with pearl ornaments,
Duchess lace and chiffon. Orange
blossoms held the bridal veil in place,
and she carried bride roses and valley
lilies.
After the ceremony, an informal
reception to the family and fSw in
innate friends was held at the brides
home, when the bride cut her cake,
and Mrs. ]. B. Graves, assisted by
Misses Helen Graves, Ruth McAtee
and Doris Swink, served ice.
The bride has lived in Pennington
all her life and is very lovely and
popular girl, as was attested by her
friends and the number of beautiful
gifts received. Later in the afternoon
they were driven to Bismarck, where
they took the train for Kansas City,
their new home, and where the
groom is an accountant and business
manager of a large factory.
Out-of-town guests were: Mr.. and
Wilson and Mrs. White, of Frederick
town; Mrs. August Gesellachap of St.
Louis, Mr.. and Mrs. Felix Parkin, Miss
Reva, Mr.. and Mrs. Pony Watts, Mr..
and Mrs Barrow, of Flat River; Miss

attending said case shall cause pla-
card, bearing the word Influenza, to
be placed thereon and not to be re-
moved until the County Physician or
his representative shall so determine.
That quarantining is not necessity,
but strict isolation of the patient and
attendant or nurse is absolutely re-
quired. After the recovery of pa
tient who has been sick with any in
fectious, contagious or communicable
disease, the owner or occupant of the
room in which said patient may have
been, shall cause the room or prem

1t is further ordered and considered
by the Court that the County of st.
Francois will not be responsible for
the payment of physicians fees, drug

to pay, either at present or in the fu-

The Strike
Situation

AS The Times goes to press it is
unable to get any official informa-
tion as to the condition or progress
of the strike in the Lead Belt, which
went into effect just one week ago,
and in which there were about 1000
employees of he Federal Lead Co. in
volved. Some of the Federal shafts
have since opened, however, and we
are informed that already several
hundred of those who went out on
strike, have since returned to work.
1t is also evident that considerable
strife and i'll feeling has been enge1-
dered among the Union men, among
those who did not desire to quit work
on the one hand, and those who in
sisted that all enter into the walk-out,
on the other. Something appears to
be radically wrong with the Union.
In other words it does not appear to
be able to control its membership. II
such proves to be the case, then the
strike must fail of its purpose, and
the Union will suffer terrific blow
Many in this locality are already
prophesying that the strike will fail,
and that this will mean an end to
Union organization in the Lead Belt
of st. Francois conuty. What the final
result will be will doubtless be deter
mined within the next few days.

Peculiar Accident

A truck belonging to the McAtee
Produce Co., of this city, was run in
to and overturned last Saturday morn
ing while on its way to Flat River, a
short distance from that town, by
the Buick automobile belonging to-
Hospital No. of this city. Both
conveyances were going in the same
direction, and in passing the truck,
one of the hub caps of the Buick evil
IDENTIFY caught the left front wheel Of
the truck, turning it around and cap
sizing it.
]. The truck, which is light one,
was heavily loaded with eggs apples,
sweet and Irish potatoes, turnips, ETC.,
which was being consigned to Nc
Atee's produce store in Flat River
The one apparent solution for this
seemingly strange accident is the
fact that the Buick is heavy car,
and unfortunately the truck was
struck at vulnerable point. The re-
suit was a great mixture of produce,
garnished with scrambled eggs. The
truck also sustained considerable dam
age, while the Buick was not damaged
in the least. ia
Glenwood Faust was driving the
truck, and Harry Williams was with
him. Both these boys were consid-
erably Jared and scratched, though
fortunately neither was seriously in
jured. c. G. Vandover, Secretary,
and DR.. Tate. physician at State Hos
pital No. a, were in the Buick, on
their way to Flat River.

Religious Uplift

/ wish that everyone in this entire
community could have heard the SER
mon preached at the Methodist
Church, South, last Sunday, by the
pastor, Rev. E. H. Orear, on "a
Lion in the Way" 1t was so practi-
cal, so replete with good, hard COM
mon sense, as to enable all who heard
it to make a personal application Of
its teachings. 1t dealt with common
place things, in a commonplace way.
Therein lay its wonderful power for
good. All who heard were forced to
admit that every statement was true;
just the things that perhaps all had
thought out for themselves, in way.
And yet the manner in which they
were presented came as a revelation,
and therefore served as a wonderful
spiritual uplift to all who heard.
The evening services at the same
church We're hardly less interesting,
when Rev. Orear's text was "The Mar
riage of Isaac" This was also ham
died in style peculiar to Rev. Orear,
and also made a profound impression.
Another interesting and somewhat un-
usual feature of the evening service
was the music, which was rendered by
the thirteen young men of Mrs. w. F..
Doss' Sunday School class, with Mrs.
Doss as leader. With Miss Martha
Raines at the organ, accompanied by
three of the young men with horns,
this class rendered several splendid
and enjoyable numbers. This i'm
pressed the writer as being something
I~f b. Il
young men filing the places in the
choir which are SO generally almost
entirely occupied by ladies. The days
services impressed me with pro-
nounced spiritual uplift, as | believe it
SO impressed many others, as there
were exceptionally large audiences
present at both services.
An Interested One.

Old Citizen
Visits Pennington

DR.. A. C. Bennett, better known to
old citizens of this community as
eel" Bennett, accompanied by Mrs.
Bennett, arrived in Pennington Sun
day for brief visit with relatives
and old friends. Their present home
is Vincent, in the southwestern part
of Oklahoma, with which country the
Doctor is well pleased. The old Doc
tor and his wife are stopping with
their nephew, j. G. Williams, and will
remain until the first of next week
before leaving for their home, and
they would be pleased to see as
many of their old friends as possible
before departing.
The Doctor, while as straight as an
arrow and almost as "active as a
cat" will be 80 years young next
May, while his wife is two years old
er. They recently came from Mine
raj Wells, Texas, and have been trav-
cling quite extensively the past sum-
mer, and have no trouble in getting
around, despite their ages. They left
their old home six miles east OF
Pennington, on the jackson road, 46
years ago, and 36 years ago they
made brief visit in this community
This is their first visit in all those
years, so that the pleasure of meet
ing with friends after such long alb
sence can hardly be appreciated by
most of us.
DR.. Bennett is a native of Tennessee
though he has spent the greater part
of his life in this State. You will en-
joy meeting him, especially if you re-
member him, as he is very interest
ing onversationalist, and his mind is
yet as clear as bell.

on that occasion. The Night Police
will be required to arrest all prowlers
on Halloween night and anyone
found guilty of helping molest the
property of others will certainly be
punished. This notice is given in all
kindness to the end that depredations
committed on previous Halloween oc-
casions by thoughtless boys must not
be attempted this year. Special watch
men will be on duty to see that the law
protecting property is respected. Have
all innocent fun you desire, but leave
alone property that does not belong

A number of enterprising citizens,
in all parts of st. Francois county,
have finally gotten their heads to-
gether in a determined effort to get
busy on the proposition of having the
matter of good roads and county hos
pital bonds passed on by vote of the
people of the county. Cooperation
means success for both these propo-
sitions, and the aforesaid gentlemen,
who have long been enthused along
these lines, are now working in uni
son-which surely means success for
these great public needs.
There is now every reason to be-
lieve that the day is not now far dis
tant when the County Court will De
asked that both these propositions be
submitted to vote, and when that

Vote is Nearing on Good Roads
and County Hospital Bonds

day arrives the County Court Judges
will be pleased to call such an cleo
ton, All the surrounding counties
are voting good road bonds just as
ranidly as the proposition is submitted
to, the voters, and st. Francois county,
which has far greater assessed val
uation than any of them, cannot af-
ford to lag behind in this march of
progress. Also the county hospital
proposition is hardly of less impor-
tance than the road bond question.
There is little doubt that both will
carry when they are submitted to the
people on the proper basis. But the
people must be made fully acquainted
with the matters on which they will
be asked to decide before the question
is submitted for their decision.

Red Cross
Nurse Here

A Red Cross Nurse arrived in
Pennington and opened courses of in
struction in nursing in the Red Cross
room in the high school building on
Wednesday, to all applicants, up to
the limit Of the ability of single in
structor. There are classes in the
morning, afternoon and evening, each
class composed of ten students, so
that the number now receiving such
instruction is thirty.
AS an indication of the popularity
of such training. it is only necessary
to state that all classes were filled
before the Red Cross Nurse arrived.
The training is calculated to make
those taking it more proficient in
home nursing, and there is no obliga-
tion requiring any of the graduates to
do outside nursing.

FLAT RIVER FALLS
VICTIM TO FARMINGTON

Last Saturday afternoon on the
High School athletic grounds the Flat
River High School football team was
defeated by the Pennington team by
the one-sided score of $40. The To-
cal team had been waiting since last
football season to seven up" with Flat
River for the trouncing she gave us
then.
The first few minutes Of play both
teams seemed to- be about evenly
matched and not much progress was
made by either side. However, after
a few minutes of play in the first
quarter, Capt. Swink's team "opened
up" and from then until the end OF
the game Flat River was plainly out
classed, both in offense and defense
Capt, Swink made the first touch
down on an end run around right end
Five touch-downs in all were scored
as follows: Capt. Swink, q; Simms, =
LePere, 1. -Four goals were kicked
by Simms.
Mack Denman, quarter back, who
injured an ankle in the second quar-
ter, was replaced by Harry King Den
man. Edward Garner replaced Capt
Swink at left half-back in the second
half, Swink having sprained an ankle
in the first half. Both II. Denman
and Garner rendered good account OF
themselves.
The whole Pennington team played
a good, clean game of football and
won over their opponents simply be-
cause they played harder and better
Chn l.
mented for their good work. The
back field worked together well ano
the line brought up their end of the
play as well.
Barney Petty served as referee and
Harvey Halle and Eddie Wichmar
served as umpires.
