Accessory Service
Most Important

This year one of the important con-
siderations in buying car will be the
service which the various accessory
manufacturers will be able to provide
for the convenience of the motorlst.
Accessory service has always been
important but with many service or
ganizations depleted during the war
and not yet built up, it behooves the
prospective automobile purchaser to
look carefully into the opportunities
he will have to secure service on the
accessories of his car.
Because of this fact the Willard
Storage Battery Company lost no
time in rebuilding it's service organ
ization. with the result that Willard
Service Stations all over the country
are now back on a pre-war basis
"We realized the necessity for RAPID
reimbursement as soon as the arms
tice was signed" said w. w. Wyne.
ken. Sales Manager of the Willard
Company, recently, "and we started
at once to, rebuild our organization
Probably no other manufacturer OF
motor car accessory lost as large
proportion of it's men as the Willard
Company did. Aside from our losse
through volunteers and the draft, w
were constantly being asked to suppl.
expert battery engineers to the Gov
ernment. These men came from ou
factory, branch office and service sta
tion organizations. Many Of then
have returned, however, and other
will soon be released. AS a result
since January 1st, we have appointe
over three hundred Willard Servic
Stations in the United States and for
cign countries. Any man can buy
motor car now with the assurance tina
there is a Willard Service STATIC
close to him where he can secure ex
pert advice and information about hi
battery"

A Real Live City
Administration

T The Times cannot resist the tempta-
ton of again commencing in heartfelt
and heartiest terms the splendid work
that is being performed by the pres
ent city administration. 1t is very
plain to be seen that those exercising
present control in municipal govern
ment do not believe in sitting supinely
down, folding their hands, and wait
ing for something to turn up-and
then perhaps be peacefully sleeping
in case anything should "turn up"
The present powers that be in this
city are proving themselves to be a
really live bunch, who believe in ego
ing over the top" in the interest of the
city. They do not belong to that ov'
enlarge contingent who believe ir
waiting--waiting. Under the lead o.
Mayor Tetley, the entire city admin
istration is putting forth real effor
to accomplish something really o.
benefit to the city.
The present members of the Boart
of Health are imbued with the SAM
progressive spirit that is now actu
ating the entire administration. The.
have served notice that no ranl
growth of weeds will be permitted in
side the city limits of Farmingtol
this summer. Their mandate has al
so gone forth that no unsanitary privy
cess-pool or pig pen will be. tolerate
in Pennington.
Their idea is to very materially i'm
prove the health conditions in thi
naturally healthy city, by removin
the cause of all foul odors, as well a
depriving the festive mosquito of hi
breeding place. The Board of Healt
is composed of the following: DR.. !
B. Graves and Aldermen P. G. Hum
Judge Harter and j. w. Yeargain. /
the splendid work this committee ha
started out to perform they will hav
the hearty and enthusiastic support Q
all good citizens.

You Must Heed the
Silent Sentinels

n The four silent sentinels that have
recently been stationed in the middle
of the street, at the four corners OF
the square in this city, while, not talk
Inc loud or making any unnecessary
bf undue noise are performing their
duties in most efficient and salts
factory manner. While there is still
an occasional automobile driver who
does not appear to understand how to
approach these sentinels, they are
rapidly becoming accustomed as to
how to not only approach, but also
how to properly get by such public
guardians.
Public guardians they most certain
" are, and they are doing more to
familiarize many, who thus far have
evidently neglected that part Of THEN
education, with very important fea-
ture of the road laws-that Of in.
variably guiding right. These senti'
nels must, be regarded the same as
though they We're another vehicle. II
fact they are there to mark the divi
sion of the street, and all who guide
right of them will be safe from acci
dent, unless they should be run init
by someone in violation of the roat
law, in which event the violator mus
be responsible for all damages.
1t may at first seem awkward t.
some, who have not become accus
toned to traffic regulations, to al
ways turn to the right of these sen
| tinels, especially when an apparen
"near-cut" presents itself. But tn
one and only safe way is to avoid al
such "short CUTS, and keep to tn
right, as any other course must resul
in fine if it is reported to the au
thorities. The stationing of these sen
tinels is one of the best things tina
has been done for many months, TO
the safeguarding of the public, an
the city authorities are entitled t
hearty commendation for their goo
work.
I All of the concrete crossings in tn
city, which have become broken an
impaired, are being repaired in a mar
ner that makes them far more durabl
than before. More concrete has bee
mixed to the mixture in way that
said to guarantee almost unendin
wear.

Changing About

Last Sunday, June 1, was the day on
which the appointments in the M. E.
church, South, made by Bishop Murrah
who was recently here, took effect.
The changes, as announced at that
time, was the transfer of Rev. H. P.
Grove from Presiding Elder of the
Pennington District to the Presiding
Elder of the Charleston District; the
appointment of Rev. o. H. Duggins as
Presiding Elder of the Pennington
District, and Rev. E. H. O'Rear lately
returned from army service in France,
as pastor of the local M. E. church,
South.
Rev. O'Rear has moved his family
into the M. E. church, South parson-
age, Rev, Duggins and family have
moved to the parsonage of the Presid-
ing Elder, and on Wednesday Rev. H.
P. Grove and family moved to Cape
Girardeau. Rev. 0'Rear took charge
of his pastorate and delivered his first
sermon Sunday morning.
We welcome Rev. O'Rear and family
to our town, but regret to lose Rev.
Grove and his estimable family.

Bank of Flat
River Closed

State Bank Examiner Claude A.
Eaton yesterday closed the Bank of
Flat River, at Flat River, in this coun-
ty, owing to Irregularities. 1t is stat
ed that the Bank Examiner found
about $4,000 worth of bad paper that
was being carried as collateral by the
bank, while there was something like
$4,000 additional paper of doubtful
worth.
The Times has been informed that
several other banks in this county Of
fered to go to the assistance of the
Bank of Flat River, which has always
been considered as being under safe
and conservative management, but
Bank Examiner Eaton would not per-
nit them to do so, Just what condi-
ton this bank is in is impossible to
