FROM
SOMEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY
TO
SOMEWHERE IN TOWN
Dear Aunt Jane:-

Dear Aunt janet
Your last letter certainly did make
me proud of our county, and we shall
watch with the greatest interest the
reports Of the meetings. Meanwhile,
your birthday box has arrived, and /
just can't begin to tell you how | ap-
preciate its contents. | cooked jam
yesterday and that new spoon that you
hook onto the side of the pot was just
world of comfort! / did not have to
fish it out of the jam even once, for,
of course, the little hook prevents it's
slipping. | studied for long time
about the three scrubbing brushes,
for, of course, since | have the limo
leum on the kitchen floor, there is very
little scrubbing to do here. But when
/ showed them to John, he just smiled
and looked wise, and yesterday while
it rained, he took them out into the
woodshed, made a kind of U-shaped
frame with square corners, nailed one
brush, bristles up, to the bottom, and
the other two, bristles down, one to
each side, upright, and we have the
dandiest shoe cleaner that you ever in
your life did see. No more mud on
my floors, even in the messiest wealth
er John had seen one of these con-
traptions somewhere, and had always
making one, but never got
round to it. Was that what you had
in mind when you sent the brushes? /?
That dust pan with the long handle
has already saved me so much stoop-
ing that | wonder | ever got along
without it. In fact, every single thing
in the box is such a delightful con-
venience and such a help with my
work, that my household tasks are be-
ginning to be a real pleasure instead
of drudgery as they used to be.
John has caught the fever and is
daily seeing or thinking of new things
to Tighten labor. For my birthday,
he bought me a bread mixer that has
taken half the work out of bread
and yesterday evening, he
was scanning the pages of an adver-
tisement setting forth the advantages
Of a mechanical ironer. Thanking you
ever and ever so much for your par
eel, Your loving niece,
SUSAN.

Telephone Service
Must Be Improved

In accordance with resolution re-
Gently adopted by the Farmingtor
Board of Aldermen, Mayor C. A. Tet-
ley addressed letter to the Public
Service Commission, stating that he
anticipated little or no objection on
the part of the patrons of this city to
the recent raise in rates that had been
accorded by the Public Service Com
mission to the local telephone COM
pany, providing that company i'm
proved, willingly or unwillingly, its
service.
Mayor Tetley has since received a
reply to his letter, from the secretary
of the Public Service Commission, as
suring him that the manager of the
telephone company was being in
formed that it must make provision
for rendering better service to its pa
irons. The secretary also asked May
or Tetley to inform him if, within
thirty days from the date of his pre-
vious letter, noticeable improvement
in the local telephone service had not
been made. On receipt of such in
formation, so the secretary assured
Mayor Tetley, the Commission would
Immediately send an engineer here to
make a thorough inspection and inves-
tigation into the shortcomings of the
telephone system here, and that the
Commission would then see that such
defects were corrected.
In order to hold up the hands Of
Mayor Tetley, who is making a splen-
did fight for the rights of the people
of Pennington and vicinity, every tel
ephone patron in this city who has had
trouble in getting service over the
telephone lines, is under obligations to
acquaint the Mayor with the form, or
nature, of their trouble, in order that
he may be more fully and completely
prepared to present to the Public Ser
vice Commission any further informa-
tion that may be desired in regard to
notoriously inadequate service of the
local telephone company. This abuse,
which has long been forced upon all
telephone patrons of this city, appears
now to be in a fair way to be correct
ed. But there should be cooperative
work with Mayor Tetley in order to
insure satisfactory action in this mat
ter.

A Blight to
Be Endured

In every community, we suppose, at
least in every community with which
the writer has been acquainted, there
is class of inhabitants who appear
to consider it a very large part of
their life work to get together in pub
lie places and discuss their more in
dustrious and prosperous neighbors.
Such discussion" is usually in the
form of criticism and abuse, as such
characters have very little use for
those who have succeeded, even though
such success be entirely merited. Their
natural course is backward, as they
have generally long since become dor
mant, insofar as effort and industry
is concerned.
1t is with genuine regret that we
are compelled to admit that in beau
tiful Pennington, which has as few
conditions for the breeding of such a
class of citizens as we have ever
found anywhere, there are some Of
this tribe. So the thought has come
to US that one must search deeper than
local conditions in order to get at the
real breeding spot" of this class of
undesirables. Thoughts along this line
has led US to the conclusion that the
microbe of such disease is generally
first implanted in their blood as chill
dren, and through lack of attention on
the part of their parents is permitted
to grow and expand until it gets in
practical control Of them in later life,
making of them, instead of useful
citizens, cancerous growth on the hu-
man race.
Therefore, the only way to get rid
of such parasites must necessarily en-
tail prolonged period of more thor
ough education among the parents of
such children, to the end that they
must be kept away from the habitat
of their forebears and taught lessons
of thrift, instead of idleness. To be-
gin with, the child should be kept in
school regularly throughout the school
term, which will insure them mind
profit, instead of mind devastation,
at least during the school hours.
Nothing is more disgusting than to
see an aggregation of these human
derelicts, who are opposed to- work
and who have lived close up 10 their
beliefs in that regard, congregated in
Pennington, preferably on the court
house lawn, dissecting citizens who
really accomplish something in this
The facts are that stringent laws
should be r:siaiy enroac.i against
such individuals, who never did them
selves or anyone else good turn. The
wartime regulation should be re-
tanned against such human misGts,
with slight alterations. They should
be compelled to work or starve, and
not be permitted to live off their poor
old mother or wife, who may be COM
PEELED to take in washing for living,
only to be bIed white by such an alb
solutely worthless husband, father,
son or brother. The sooner such ele-
ment can be eliminated, not only from
Pennington, but from every other
throughout the country,
the sooner will the true spirit of "peace
on earth and good will toward men"
come true,

A Number of
Near Cyclones

The heavy wind and rain storm last
Friday afternoon was most unusual
both in the manner of its approach as
well as its severity. The storm came
from the northwest, while the APP
proach of such cyclonic storms is gen
orally from the southwest. In the
space of Il very few minutes the at
mosphere was changed from summer
humidity to a wind of chilly tempera-
ture. The low hanging clouds went
rapidly scurrying by, and there were
many indications of cyclonic condi-
tions. In fact there were many evil
dences all around Pennington of
"near" cyclones.
A number of large trees, in diff
ferent localities, and many telephone
poles were blown down, while a few
houses and barns have been reported
slightly damaged. The principal dam
age that has been reported, however,
was TO wheat fields, many of which
were practically cleared of wheat
shocks, and was total loss.
The Baptist church at Sprott was
blown down and practically demol-
ished
Ed Turley, at Libertyville, lost a
fine COW in the storm, and also calf
had its leg broken.
The arrival here of the electric car
which meets the north-bound train
at DeLassus was delayed several hours
by large tree falling across the
track.

A Strenuous But
Pleasureable Trip

Lloyd Horton, "a splendid young
man, formerly of Doe Run, but whose
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. +. r. Horton,
now live at Herculaneum, arrived in
this city the first of the week with his
co-worker and chum, Henry Carlisle,
from Washington, d. c., on a motor
cycle and spent few days with old
friends. These young men made the
entire trip from Washington on mo-
torcycle, with tandem seat, and re-
port many unusual and pleasing eX-
periences. The trip consumed five
days, including a half day they were
held up by rain.
Lloyd is a graduate of the Ozark
Business College of this city, which
diploma secured for him a responsible
and lucrative position in the U. S.
Treasury Department, where he be-
came acquainted with Henry Carlisle.
These young men arranged to take
this motorcycle trip at the first oppor-
tunity, so that when their vacation
period arrived they headed west from
the National Capitol.
They left Washington at 5 o'clock
on the afternoon of July Bird, going
through Maryland and covering dis
tance of LOG miles that evening. The
next day, the 4th, they made their best
record by skidding over 300 miles of
good roads. After passing Columbus,
Ohio, they found the roads somewhat
rougher, and their record for the 5th
ws only 202 miles. In Illinois they
found the roads generally in a poor
condition, with many detours, caused
from the fact that the National High
way, which was their route, is under
going extensive repairs.
While the boys report a rather
difficult and trying trip, largely ow-
ing to the torn up condition Of the
National Highway, they consider the
experience gained as adequate for the
task endured. In fact they are great
ly pleased for having made the trip
in the manner they did. The distance
they travelled was about 900 miles.
While the boys had just left off of
flee work, both were decorated with a
healthy chestnut brown tan.
In the first week of August they
will start on the return trip, though
they will use the Lincoln Highway on
the return, While this route is lit
tie longer than the one they came,
had 1t not been for the many detourS
they were compelled to make, they
expect the Lincoln Highway to be far
superior for travel at the present time,
and they will have an entire change
of scenery.

Is Labor Worthy
Of Its Hire ?

The latest information from the
Lead Belt is that committee formed
from the various local Labor Unions
throughout that district have present
ed the various lead companies operat-
ing in that field with a petition and a
request for an increase of 25 per cent
in the wage scale Of all workmen. The
petitioners also ask for recognition of
the Union. A reply is asked for by
August 4th.
The Times has no information as to
what action is contemplated by the
miners in case their requests are de-
MED. This paper is firmly of the
opinion, however, that there is noth-
ing unreasonable or unfair in any of
the above stated requests. Consider
ing the wage scale which is now in
effect, the increase asked for is GER
tainly not arbitrary, as it is hard to
understand how a workman, with a
large family, can earn enough us a
common laborer in that field, under
the existing scale of prices, TO supply
such family with the bares5 neces-
sities.

How to Make Your
Battery stLonger

The man who is not used to hand
ling batteries might say that the way
to get the most out of battery is to
use it just as little as possible. AS a
matter of fact, that would be just
the wrong way to go at it. Batteries
are made to be used and they can be
used regularly and put through some
pretty stiff PAGES and yet last long
time, if the man who uses them only
follows few simple rules of battery
care.
Here are a few of the rules:
l. Be sure your ignition switch is
closed.
2. Pull out your. choker.
3. Put out your clutch pedal, so
that your starting motor will have to

turn only the engine.
4. Then step on your starting but
ton, and your motor ought to take
hold. If it does not, then the thing to
do is to find where the trouble is and
remedy it before you make another
trial.
Battery life will be prolonged if
these rules are observed all the year
round and in all climates.

Saturday. Besides the members of

CITY JUDGE DROPS
MARKET CASES

The much twisted and complicated
law regarding the King street and Madi-
son street curb markets, was jolted this
morning, when Judge Churchman, in
Municipal Court, upheld the contention
Of Philip L Garrett, counsel for the
four defendants, and dismissed Samuel
Corrello, Samuel Papreno, Giovanni
Fiorentino and Eugene Vassallo, on
charges Of violating the market law in
occupying a space in the market with
out having made or received a permit.
The four men had stands in King
street, and on market days they would
move their stands TO the curb and sell
their products.
The information in the case was
drawn up on the resolution Of the
Street and Sewer Department. Mr.. Gar
rett's contention was that the Street
and Sewer Department has no author
lily under the statute TO regulate the
markets, and that, therefore. the Mu-
nlcipal Court has no authority TO han
dc the charges against the men. The
Street and Sewer Department cannot
assume authority unless it is conferred
on it by legislative act; that it cannot
assume authority by implication, coun-
sci argued. The matter IS one for the
Court Of General Sessions, he held.
