Bright Prospects

Albert wulfert left last Friday for
Miami, Okla, especially to attend a
stockholders meeting of the Farm
ington Mining Co., which was held in
the hub Of that wonderful mineral
field on last Saturday. Recent re-
ports are to the effect that the prop
erty of this company is showing up
most remarkable richness, which
promises 10 make this one Of the rich
est properties in the entire district.
c. B. Denman, one Of the local
stockholders in this company, recent
ly inspected that property and brought
back with him the cheering and en-
thusing report that in a new drift, in
which the miners had been drifting,
had been found some of the richest
ore that had yet been produced in that
entire field. This is most cheering
news, not only to the stockholders in
that company, but to their many
friends as well, who will sincerely re-
joice with them over the bright pros
poets of the Pennington Mining Co.

The Board of Directors of this COM

J. NJ. Morris
Will Probated

The will of the late John M. Morris
has been filed in the Office of the Pro-
bate Judge, and while there is no in
dication therein of the extent of his
holdings, which is generally supposed
to have been quite large, the manner
of disposal of his property will be OF
interest to many of our readers.
A few special bequests are made,
such as the home place, which is CIV
en- to his daughter, Mrs. Macy 5.
Morris-Washburn, together with $2,-
900 cash as soon after his demise as
may be found to be practicable. This
beouest was evidently made in order
to equalize the value in the business
house of Morris Brothers, which was
given to his three sons, George,
James and Walter.
Another bequest was that of $500 to
his niece, Miss Mollie A. Perkins, who
had been his housekeeper and princi-
pal assistant and helper for many
years of his life.
The remainder of the estate is to
be divided equally between the four
children, with George w. and James
C. Morris as executors, without bond.

Serious Violation
Quarantine Laws

w. C. billiard, veterinary surgeon
of Pennington, was called to the Iron
Mountain farm the first of the week
to inspect reported cases of hog in
fection. He was accompanied by a
State veterinary surgeon. They found
that fifteen or twenty hogs were al
ready dead from cholera, and their
carcases were still lying exposed in
the lots, among the herd. Evidently
not the slightest effort had been made
to check the spread of the fatal dis
ease among the herd. In fact sales
were still being made from among
them to any and all purchasers.
The overseer was notified that he
must not sell any more from that herd
until it had been freed from its pres
ent infection. He is said to have re-
piled that he had orders to sell all the
hogs, which he proposed to do. What
further action in the matter has been
taken, if any, as not reached The
Times. 1t occurs to us, however, that
such gross violation of the strict quar-
antine regulations could hardly be
dealt with too severely.

Judge Swink is
Elected President

Judge f. E. Swink attended a meet
ing OF the State Fair Board at Jeffer-
son City Saturday, at which time he
was elected President of the Board
for the ensuing year. The Judge has
served two terms as Vice-President,
and was in line for the promotion. A. T,
Nelson, of Lebanon, was an opponent
for the place, and as the Judge had
made no effort to secure the promo
ton, the first vote resulted in tie.
The Judge then proposed that they
hang the decision on the flip of a
coin, which indicated his utmost good
will in the matter. This resulted in
the selection of Judge Swink to head
the Board for the ensuing term.
The proposed opposition to E. G.
Bylander of Sedalia as secretary of
the Board did not develop in the meet
ing. Arnold, who had been fighting
the Secretary's reelection for several
days, dithdrew his opposition.
W. H. Powell of Sedalia was re-
elected treasurer.
The Board decided to hold the 1919
State Fair August 9 to 16. inclusive.

Conservation
of the Children

Since the public schools have re-
sumed operation, with every effort be-
ing made to make up for lost time
that the schools were adjourned by
reason of the ravages of the "fu",
and teaching has been inaugurated on
Saturdays, much interest has been
aroused in this community as to the
best method of finishing out the pres
ent school year.
That there is strong opposition to
Saturday school there is no doubt. In
fact many parents are complaining
that they can notice a state of nerv-
BUSINESS being taken on by their chill
dren, and contend that Saturdays
should continue to be a day of rest and
recuperation for them. The Times be-
lieves that such sentiment would be
voiced by great majority of the pa
rents, could general expression be
secured.
The, Times is inclined to the belief
that keeping the children in school
six days in the week is "burning day
light" for them, and feels that the
Board of Education should so decide.
Inc "hu" epidemic was public ca
lamity, and whatever the loss entailed,
such is loss to the entire public. The
teachers should not be asked, or ex-
pected, to bear the bulk of such bur-
den. The Times believes their pay
should go on, just as though there had
been no interruption in the school
term, and that the term should ter
inmate at or near the usual time.
Neither can we understand why such
loss of time should catse the pupils to
fail of promotion, providing they
make passing grades while they are
in school. 1t is the opinion of The
Times, as we believe it is of vast ma
jority of the patrons of the public
schools, that the health and lives of
the little ones is of far greater i'm
portance than few months of school,
ing.

Books Received
and Approved

County Court met Monday for the
special purpose of receiving the books
of Assessor Mrs. Amy Wells. After
being carefully gone over, the books
for the 1919 assessment of st. Fran
co.'s county were found to be entirely
satisfactory, and were duly approved
and received by the Court.
The assessment for the present year
shows healthy increase in taxes to
be paid, the aggregate amount being:
On lands, S21,9S2,SS0; personal, 3d.
9O1 1893; total, $25 5,884,278. This is an
increase over last years assessment
of $2,639,11S.

Bootleggers
Rounded Up

Sheriff Charlie Adams and Prose-
cutting Attorney W. f. Golfer Saturday
evening flushed" bootleggers on Blue
Hill, in the suburbs of Bonnie Terre,
taking them entirely by surprise, and
finally succeeded in uncovering two
30-gallon barrels and several bottles
of whiskey and about four dozen bot
ties Of beer. One of the barrels had
not been tapped. They received a
"tip" in Bonne Terre that raid would
perhaps be timely, as recent liquor
shipments had been received.
The Sheriff, Prosecutor and Roy
Adams, acting as chauffer, accompa-
MED by the day marshal of Bonne
Terre at once proceeded to the store,
or "joint" of Walter Moon, where they
effected entrance from the rear, TAX
ing completely by surprise the keeper
and several patrons, who were en-
gagged in drinking. A sentinel was on
guard at the middle door of the build
ing, but his duty was evidently only
to watch the front door, so that the
"intruders" failed to disturb him.
A thorough search of the store
failed to disclose any liquors, other
than few bottles of beer. But the
search party was thoroughly con-
vinced that there must be more "wet
goods" to keep the "joint" running,
so they decided to extend their search
to the Moon residence, a somewhat
pretentious home just across the
street To such proceeding Walter
Moon entered most strenuous objec-
ton, stating that he was an American
citizen, and did not propose to have
his home thus invaded. But Sheriff
Adams kept quietly on his way, ask
ing him where the entrance to his Gel
lar was, % .r' ''.' '- -r- DIS. .'
When the cellar door was reached
it was found to be locked, and the
Sheriff told Moon he had the privilege
of unlocking the door; otherwise he
would be compelled to force it open.
Moon wisely decided to unlock the
door, and when he saw that the Off
GER could not be kept from discovering
his illicit stock, he turned on the light
and told him there was the entire lay
out, and he could take an "invoice." !"
The barrel of whiskcy that had been
tapped was confscated, as were a
number of bottles of whiskey, and
four dozen bottles of beer. This was
all that could be loaded into the auto
mobile, so that the full barrel of whis-
key was left for future delivery.
Before leaving that vicinity the
Sheriff and Prosecutor also visited thu
place of M. ]. Vallo, which is nearby.
There they found a few bottles of
whiskey and beer, but there was many
evidences of brisk liquor business
having been done there, from the great
number of empty bottles in evidence
But during the search of the Moon
property much time had been given the
Vallo place to be put in condition for
receiving the officers in the best man.
ner possible for them, by hiding out
their stock of liquors. Both Moon and
Vallo have since been arrested for
boot-legging, and they will doubtless
be brought to trial at the regular
February term of circuit court.

Of heart trouble Wednesday morning
while sitting in his store, preparing to
write letter.

exhibition in McKinney's store. It
had been "camoufaged" in order to
make it practically invisible in the

in full retreat, which was their usual
condition after they run up against
the "Sammies". -....,.

suffer from twinges of rheumatism on
hmbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, wAnuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisons
by way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for vAnuric" for kidneys

conditions as rheumatism, dropsical

constant arising from bed at night.

SAVE SUPPLY OF. FLAxsEED
Wise Policy for Farmer to Resist High
Prices and Keep Enough Seed
for Next Year.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Present high prices for f1aXseed will
tempt many farmers to sell all they
have. This will be especially true in
the sections where last years drought
was severe and crop production small.
Now is the time. however, to resist the
temptation of fancy prices and to save
enough good seed for next year. AL
ways use the tanning mill, for f1axseed
sometimes carries serious flax diseases.
and mustard seed left in it will cause
a beautiful yellow field even though all
that's yellow is not gold. The bright,
clean, heavy seed left after thorough
tanning will be most free from disease
Store your seed in a dry place, for it
las mucilage in its overcoat and sticks
like glue if it gets wet.
Remember your neighbor when fam
ming flax; for he may need some of
your seed. 1t will help him as well as
your community if he gets good seed
from you, instead of using the poor
seed which he may have to buy if he
waits until seeding time next spring.
If you have good seed for sale, tell
your county agent and your state ex-
tension director. Owners of good seed
of wilt-resistant strains should try to
sell it only for seed purposes, rather
than to let it go to the elevator to be
sold for oil making, as farmers have
not been able during the last two years
to buy enough seed of wilt-resistant
strains.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
An endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many, of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that SO many people claim, it fulflls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,

tween two peoples whose language
and aims in life should be anything
but of an unfriendIy character. The
draft law of the United States, adopt
ed for the carrying out of the high
purposes had in view by the United
States, kept many from going to Can

a large percentage of the young men

were prevented from going to Can

no real or imaginary restrictions !;
there is no draft law to interfere
On the contrary, there is an I'M
fashionable depth of good feeling, and
the lOng-eXisting friendship is strong
er than ever. This has been brought
about by the knowledge of what has
been done in the recent great strug-
gle, each vying with the other in
giving credit for what was accom-

SAVING LIGHT THIS WINTER
Much Can Be Accomplished if Each
Will Determine to Do His or
Her Part

Several million Americans, great and
small, will be members of a light-sav-
ing crew this winter. Long nights re-
quire more lights, and more lights re-
quire more fuel in the plants where
coal is used to produce electricity and
artificial gas. The more fuel we use
over here, the less can be used to bun
ker the ships to bring the boys home.
The light-saving crew must observe
these rules:
Turn off every light as soon as it is
no longer needed.
De not go from room to room leav-
ing trail of light behind you.
Replace all the poor, fuel wasting
lights by efficient ones.
Use every bit of daylight to work
by as late as possible.
Never sacrifice light at cost to the
eyes.
Did you ever realize that there is
great difference in electric lights? A
carbon filament light burns with red
glow, while a tungsten yields white,
intense light. A 10-watt tungsten fill
ament burning four hours a day, uses
about 2726 pounds of coal in Il year.
A carbon filament uses twice this
amount.
