Surprisingly
Successful Sale

The public sale of live stock and
farm machinery of John Burlbaugh,
at the farm he recently sold near the
Old Colony Church, 2 1-2 miles north
east of this city Tuesday, drew large
crowd, among whom were many bid
ders, all of whom proved to be anx-
ious to buy, as was disclosed in the
manner in which the prices were
pushed upward. Particularly did the
live stock bring high prices, which was
true especially of the registered
Whiteface.
Though there was only small
bunch of this stuff, 10 lots, it brought
$4,997.50. Judge Swink topped the
price for cows at $515, and also for
bull, for which he paid $615. There
was not bad seller in the entire lot.
In fact the small bunch brought at
least $1,000 more than Mr.. Burlbaugh
would have taken for them before the
sale. In fact everything sold exceed
ingly well, bringing about $500. He
recently sold his farm to Clarence
Womaek for $4,000. and the fact that
his personal property brought more
than did his farm is most pleasing
surprise to Mr.. Burlbaugh, who did
not realize that the farm was SO well
equipped. He and his family will
move to Pennington for the summer.

Working Men
Again Meet

Another we'll attended meeting of
workingmen was held in the Circuit
Court room last night, for the purpose
of perfecting labor organization
among those working in the lead belt
and who reside in this city. At the
meeting held on the previous Thurs
day night, no organization was per-
fected, though a number Of names
were offered for membership, and it
was determined to postpone organi-
zation until last night
Rev. C. w. Dunmire, of Leadwood,
who is special agent of the United
States Department of Labor, was
again present, and again did he de-
liver a powerful and unanswerable
talk in the interest of organization,
which he described as the only way in
which workingmen can ever expect to
get justice. With proper organization
they cannot 60 wrong; then strikes
and riots will pass away, as they are
no part of unionism.
1t is hard to understand how any
laboring man could have listened to
the talk of Rev. Dunmire and then
left the room without first signing the
membership roll. This must have been
the general impression, from the large
number who signed up when men,
bers were called for. 1t is the expec-
tation of those in charge of this work
that a union will be in operation in
this city in couple of weeks.

Observed

Arbor Day was we'll and creditably
observed last Friday afternoon, with
the rendition Of the program that had
been announced the previous week,
with one or two omissions. y. H. Ma
lugen, of Bonnie Terre, and Mayor
Hugh Steel, of Bismarck, both of
whom were announced for talks, fail
cd to appear, though 1t was after
wards shown that Mr.. Malugen had
used his best efforts to get here on
time, but was prevented from doing SO
by break in the automobile in which
he finally made the trip.
This excellent observance was first
suggested by Miss Pet Tucker, Home
Demonstration Agent for this county,
who is always awake and alive to ev-
cry occasion. The clubs of the city
enthusiastically added their support,
headed by the ID. A. RS. All those
participating helped to make up for
any of the three breaks iii the pro-
gram that were not filled, so that there
was, in reality, no apparent omission.
The Times would particularly men
tion the talk of T. G. Marsh, of Flat
River, which indicated not only care
full preparation and broad research,
but also natural ability for the work
to which he had been assigned.
The program was begun by about
thirty soldier boys marching from the
Monarch theatre around the square, to
the southwest corner, where they re-
manned at attention while the follow
| ing exercises We're carried out, in the
presence Of an immense concourse of
people:

South Ward
School Wins

The committee that had been Sc
lected to decide on the merits of the
"Clean-Up", as between the North and
South Wards of this city, met Wednes-
day night to render their decision,
which was in favor of the South Ward,
by small margin. This decision was
made only after most careful
thorough and painstaking examination
had been made throughout the city.
The committee also reported that per-
haps never before was the city in such
a cleanly and sanitary condition.
The decision in favor of the South
Ward came as quite surprise, as it
has usually been considered that the
part Of town composing the North
Ward was, as a whole, the newest and
in the best state of regair. Such de-
cision gives to the South Ward School
the book case that was offered by the
Civic League Club to the school win
ming the decision in the cleanup con-
test.
The one thing, perhaps, that caused
the North Ward to lose in this contest
is the evident desire of SO many citi-
zens living there to accumulate and
garner manure piles. While the ac-
emulation of manure piles may not
be particularly unhealthy, nor Of ne
cessity unsanitary, they certainly do
not assist in winning prizes in a clean
up campaign. But all the school chill
dren worked hard in this campaign,
and all deserve reward. To such an

The Last Day
st. Louis, Mo-, April 8, 1919.

st. Louis, Mo-, April 8, 1919.
Editor Times, Pennington, Mo.
Dear Sir:-The following article has
been received from the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, Washington, d.
c., who requests that same be pub
ished in your paper in order to give
this information the widest publicity
possible:
"Organizations and individuals gen.
orally are advised by Collector of In
ternal Revenue Geo. HI. Moore to un-
derscore on their calendars May Is,
the last day for the filing of returns of
information, giving the names and ad-
dresses Of all individuals to whom
payments of salaries, wages, rents,
interest, commissions, and other gains,
profits and income of $1,000 or more
were paid during the year 1918. An
extension of time from March Is to
May Is was granted by the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue for the
filing of these returns.
"All employers of labor, whether in
large or small numbers, are required
to make these returns, said Collcc-
tor Moore. Organizations, such as
corporations, companies, partnerships,
etc, are required to file returns show
ing the salaries and wages paid to the
officers and employees.
"a separate return for each en-
ployee whose salary for 1918 was
81 900 or more is required.
"Banks, trust companies, and SINH
lar institutions must make returns of
information showing interest paid to-,
or credited to the account of on indi-
vidual if the amount so credited or
paid was $1,000 or more.
"Real estate agents are required
to report the gross amounts received
in rents or other income and remit
ted to their principals if such amounts
for 1918 were ST. 900 or more. The
bill provides that wherever necessary
the name and address of the recipient
of the income shall be furnished by
the person, corporation or partnership
paying them. Returns of information
must be filed with the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, Sorting Division,
Washington, d. G. Collectors of In
ternal Revenue are not authorized to
receive these returns. Form 1899, up
on which reports must be made, may
be obtained, however, from the Of
fees of collectors.
Returns of information must be ac-
companied by a letter of transmittal
in form No. 1896 showing under oath
the aggregate amount of the pay
nents. These forms also may be OBJ
tanned from the collectors.
"The penalty for failure to make a
return on time is fine of not more
than $1,000"
Respectfully, ~
/: GEO. H. MOORE,
Collector.

County Judges
Strong for Service

The manner in which the st. Fran
cois County Court Judges are bending
every effort within them to render
unto the county and its people, whose
servants they are, the very best possi-
Bile service, is thoroughly deserving
of, and should receive the hearty COM
mendation and approval Of all, and es-
pecially of every resident tax-paying
citizen.
The method the County Court
Judges have taken of forestalling pre-
vious action that had been taken in
regard to the collection Of the full
amount of taxes due for 1918 from
the great mining corporations of this
county should have the hearty and
heartfelt approval of every citizen,
and will unquestionably meet with
most general approval when the work
they are even now engaged in is more
fully understood.
The case that was filed against
them last week by Prosecuting At
torney Golfer, by reason of the fact
that the County Court Judges had
voted $4,000 expense money to Attor-
neys Munger and Mathews in the
prosecution of the tax case against
the mining corporations, was evident
ly the product of one-sided view Of
the matter. Anyway, the Prosecut-
ing Attorney has already seen the fall
lacy of the allegations in that case,
which has been withdrawn.
The st. Francois County Court is
daily demonstrating the fact that it
is composed of brainy and thoughtful
men, who, when they know they are
in the right, will go their full length
in the performance of their duties.
And yet they are always willing and
ready to make any fair and impair
tial compromise, when they are ap-
preached in the right way. But there
is invariably one essential point to
look after when seeking a compromise
they must be approached with clean
hands.
The County Board of Equalization
left Wednesday afternoon for Jeffer-
son City to meet with the State Board
Of Equalization. This arrangement
was thought to be wise and proper, in
the hope Of hereafter eliminating fur
tier trouble in regard to assessments,
especially in regard to the great min
ing corporations, in regard to which
litigation is now pending.

Good Roads
Delegations

A good roads delegation presented
themselves before the County Court OF
st. Francois county Monday morning,
soon after that body had convened.
There were quite a number of citizens
in the delegation, from Jefferson,
Washington and st. Francois counties,
with Congressman M. E. Rhodes, OF
Potosi, at their head.
The purpose Of the coming of this
delegation was to make intercessions
to the st. Francois County Court for
the improvement of about two miles
of road in this county to connect the
Inter-C County Seat Highway from Po-
tosi, in Washington county, to Hills
boro, in jefferson county. The build
ing of two miles of good road through
the northern point of this county
would connect the good roads that are
already built, or that it is proposed to
build. in Washington and Jefferson
counties.
The County Court Judges agreed to
take the matter under consideration.
Among those present were: M. e.
Rhodes and J. L. Agnew of Potosi, H.
E. Brown, James Donald, Tom Mad
dern, C. V. Seger, C. e. Boyer an
Robert Donal of Blackwell, an G. H.
Clancy of Baryties.
A number of citizens from Bis
marck and vicinity walled on the
County Court Monday morning in re-
gard to road matters in that neighbor-
hood. 1t was regarding particular
piece of road, that is in great need of
Improvement, that afforded special
reason for the visit of the delegation.
The Court offered to extend to them
all possible relief, at the earliest pos
sible time.

Fashion Is Ienient This Year

No hard and fast rules are laid down for
Fashion Followers this year. Suit styles follow
general line of contour but adaptations of it are
not only permissible they are correct. The small,
stout woman is not expected to wear the models
of her larger perhaps more slender sister and
vice versa. The long. coat is designed and is cor
rect for certain type the medium length for
another and the rather short. sem-Eton for still
another It is Democratic idea in keeping with
the advance of world democracy. Skirts are not
so narrow but are exceedingly graceful, orna-
mentation has given way to elaboration Of
greater refinement and richness. COlors, well. they
are singulary seasonable. Brown, woodsy brown,
Natures own color, in all its wonderful grada-
tons is favorite while navy, black taupe and
mixtures are about equally popular
