Fire at State
Hospital No. 4

At $3.50 o'clock Monday morning the
implement shed at State Hospital No.
A was discovered to be on fire. Prac-
tically all the able-bodied men were at
work in the fields at the time of the
alarm, and before any fighting force
could reach the scene of the confia-
grafton the flames were beyond con-
troll, so far as that building was con-
cerned. All efforts of the fire fighters
we're, therefore, concentrated on saw
ing nearby horse and mule barn.
Hose was attached to all available
FIRE plugs, and many steams of water
were kept playing on the barn. The
fight was fast and furious one, in
the face of an adverse wind, but the
large barn was saved, as well as an
adjacent silo.
Two registered Holstein calves were
burned, as we'll as considerable. valu,
able farm machinery, and a number Of
old vehicles. The Times is pleased tt
state, however, that the loss is com
| pleteiy covered by insurance. Hair,

Good Examples
for This County

The movement is on throughout
Missouri, especially among the better
and more enterprising counties, for
the improvement Of highways. The
question of what is the best way to
secure improved roacs was long ago
decided in favor of bond issue. In
fact good roads bonds was long ago
recognized as the only way for
county to secure good roads. To de-
pend on road taxes for the building OF
hard surface roads-something that
will last--has long since been recog-
nized as being totally inadequate.
This is the reason for the activity
throughout the State toward voting
good roads bonds.
On Monday of this week two more
counties have gotten into the march Of
progress by the county courts calling
for good roads bond elections. One is
Livingston county, where the voters
will be called upon to vote on a ST.
zoe, 900 bond issue for road improve
ment on August 18th. The other is
Linn county, where the proposition OF
issuing a $1,000,000 good roads bend
issue will be voted on August 10th.
Why should st. Francois county lag
behind in this march of progress?
This is not only one of the most pop
ulous counties in the State, but it is
one of the wealthiest. But in this
matter, its great wealth is more fa-
vorably owned, in very large part,
than that Of any other county in the
State. The great mining properties,
which bear the great bulk of the tax
able wealth, is almost entirely owned
by non-residents.
Can anyone give sane reason why
the people of st. Francois county
should not have chance to vote on
million dollar good roads bond is
sue? If there is a person with such
antagonistic ideas, we would be glad
to hear from him, and to publish his
views, with his consent. The surface
of most of the roads throughout the
county will soon have to be repaired,
which will not only be expensive, but
also such repairs will of necessity be
only temporary, and the operation will
have to be often repeated.
Is it not time to put road-building
on business basis, and exercise
sound business principles in their
building and maintenance Why re-
main longer in the old fogy class I
But The Times fully believes that the
citizens of st. Francois county are
now ready and willing to vote for a
good roads bond issue. Who will get
busy with a few petitions and give
them chance to step forward on this
most important question?

Damage Case
Fails to Stand

The case Of S. P. Bond, of st. Louis,
against Luther III. Williams, George
X. Williams and B. H. Marbury, of
Pennington, for $4,000 damages for
personal injury came up in the ISt.
Louis Circuit Court last Saturday be-
fore Judge Tom Anderson and was
decided in favor of the defendants.
The decision of the Circuit Court was
affirmed by the Supreme Court Of the
State of Missouri. The damage suit
was the outgrowth of a trial in the
Circuit Court here of the State VS..
John McBrien, in which case Bond
was attorney for the defendants. In
this case Bond made very uncalled-
for and scurrilous attack upon L. H.
Williams, B. H. Marbury and Uncle
King" Williams, father of L. II. Will
liams, who were witnesses in the case,
After the case was disposed of Bond
was taken to task for his utterings
and during rather heated discussion
that followed was knocked down twice
by Luther Williams. Bond filed suit
for $4,000 for personal injuries he
suffered in the one-sided bout. :.
The results of this case give judi.
cial approval, both in the trial court
and the Supreme Court, that lawyers!
who go out of the record in their oral
argument to the jury to unjustly crit.
|icise and bemean witnesses, and ar
Eterwards receive their just reward in
the shape of good Missouri lick
4 ing, will not be permitted to recover
damages for their injured faces anc
feelings.

bined their ideas with the result that
the submarine menace was reduced to
a minimum. DR.. Jones was a mem-
Der of this board.
1t is said that DR.. Jones has evolved
most fascinating address out OF his
experiences and that he has that abil-
ity SO rare among scientific men OF
explaining complex subjects in a man
ner and in terms understandable by
/ all. Among the things discussed and
demonstrated are: the law of projec-
tiles, air currents, light rays, the new
photography, sound recorders, etc.
Science is making a new industrial
world and creating wealth beyond
previous dreams. He tells how the
Stag heap, the waste of mine and re-
| tort. the laws Of electric chemistry,
hydraulics and the very air about US
have all become the most gigantic
forces in the service Of man.
DR.. Jones carries with him com
piete set of scientific apparatus with
which to demonstrate the truths
brought forth in his address. 1t is
said to be more interesting than the
"movies" and the little folks are the
most interested ones in the audience.
Following his address at Huron, s
ID, the Daily Huronite said:
| ssShould DR.. Jones again speak il
Huron it is safe to say that he would
be unable to find q place large enough
Ito accommodate the crowd that would
come out to hear him."

A Big Sale of
Dur0c-Jerseys

The attention of Times readers is
called this week to the announcement
on the fifth page of the dispersion
sale of the large Duroc-Jersey herd
of hogs, belonging to A. ]. Young,
the most successful hog breeder in
this part Of the State. This sale will
be held at Mr.. Young's home, An
miles north of Pennington, which he
recently sold, and of which he is pre-
pairing to give possession, necessitat-
ing the sale of his entire herd, an equal
to which it would be difficult to find
anywhere.
About a hundred head of the finest
hog specimens will be sold to the
highest bidder, and there is bound to
be many splendid bargains at this
sale, as every hog is pure bred, and
the experience Of breeders is that it
is practically impossible to fail Of a
bargain in buying such stock. The
date of the sale is Saturday, July 49,

VIM. II. Lewis for
State Auditor

There has recently been number
of suggestions among the many
friends of VIM. H. Lewis in this COM
munity that he should run for State
Auditor at the next general election.
In fact such suggestions have come
from different parts of the State, as
"Billy" Lewis has many friends in ev-
cry county in the State. He is now
State Labor Commissioner, and the
splendid and efficient manner in which
he has conducted the affairs of that
office is perhaps the reason for these
favorable suggestions for promotion
of this faithful public servant.
In this southeast country, where
"Billy" Lewis is so well and favora-
bly, known, nothing would be more
pleasing to his multitude Of warm
friends than to be privileged to cast
their votes for this sterling Democrat
and worthy citizen for State Auditor,
should he see fit to "cast his hat into
the ring"

School Term to
Open September 8

At a meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation last Thursday night, the date
for the opening of the school term of
1919-20 was decided upon. The date
was made September Sth, the second
Monday. This is one week later than
school has been accustomed to open,
but this arrangement was necessary
because an earlier beginning would
conflict with the Chautauqua pro-
gram, which occupies the dates Sept.
1st to 9th, inclusive. The Board
showed some reluctance in delaying
the school opening week, but decided
that it was best not to conflict with
the Chautauqua.
Another matter attended to was the
raising of the salaries of the teach
ers. It was decided, inasmuch as the
valuation of the school district has
been raised seven per cent, to give the
Superintendent and the entire corps Of
teachers raise of like per cent II
their respective salaries, said raise tt
be in the form of a bonus-that is tx
remain in force as long as the resourc
es of the district will permit.

Twas a Glorious

The Fourth of July picnic at Colum-

great success, in every respect. Thou
sands of people were in attendance,
there was something doing all the
time for the amusement and entertain

appeared to enjoy the occasion: The
picnic was given under the auspices of
the Union Labor organizations of the
Lead Belt, and everything that had
been promised--and more--was scrup-
ulously complied with.
Practically everything in the amuse-
ment line was free-airplane exhibit
ton, vaudeville performances, ball
game, etc. Everywhere and all day
was the utmost good humor, and the
occasion passed without the sign of
trouble, which is quite change to the
