State Hospital
No. A Deeply Cut

In the final whiting down by Gov
ernor Gardner of the appropriations
of the last Legislature, The Times is
very sorry to note that State Hospital
No. a of this city, suffered a heavy
cut--about $4,000. While The Times
has no desire, neither do we believe
there is any spirit of criticism in this
matter Of the Governor, it is to be
sincerely regretted that State Hos
pital No. A did not receive every cent
asked for, in the interest of those
hundreds of irresponsible inmates,
whose proper care should be one OF
the foremost considerations Of man
kind.
While DIR. J. l.. Eaton, the efficient
and mastery Superintendent, informs
The Times that they will manage to
"get by" with the appropriation, which
was largely reduced over the amount
originally asked for in its passage,
and then finally practically cut in two
| by the Governors trimming, without
impairing in any way the efficiency
of the institution, that there will be
no money for new buildings and i'm
provements, both of which are sore
ly needed. ,.,
While to The Times it seems little
less than a crime that such splendid
institution as State Hospital No. 4
has been from it's Inauguration, and
more especially in view of the splendid
efficiency it has attained under its
present able and competent manage
ment, that the necessary whiting
down of appropriations could not have
been done in other quarters, and per
mitted the original appropriation tc
stand. The inmates there are ever
more helpless than little children, ant
yet the best possible care is due then
from those who are more fortunate.
Yet DIR. Eaton's optimism remain:
intact. He says they will manage
some way, without causing any O
the inmates to suffer.

Big Tax Suit Will
Soon Be eLaunched

Before adjourning last week the
County Court Judges made the fol-
lowing order: "Thct Thomas A.
Mathews, the legally appointed, quail
flied and acting Tax Attorney for the
Collector Of st. Francois county, pro-
ceed to the enforcement of the tax
lient for balances of taxes due for the
year 1918, from the st. Joseph Lead
Co, the Federal Lead Co., and the Des-
loge Consolidated Lead CO., all cor
porations of St. Francois county,
Mo-"
This is the opening move to collect
the balance of the taxes for last year
from those companies, amounting to
$107, 7,514.45, as the matter was left at
ter the compromise" between those
companies and the outgoing Collect
or. ]. j. Croke. Such compromise"
was effected without the knowledge or
consent of the County Court, which is,
as the Court claims, and which claim
appears to be upheld by the law, the
only body that is authorized to make
such settlement.
As the case now stands, it appears
that if such compromise" will stand
by law, so far as the corporations are
concerned, then the fight must be
made against the Collectors bonds
men, who are the guarantee that th'
Collectors official actions must be II
accord with the law governing his OF
flee. The facts are that the count.
has been "short-changed" out OF thu
large amount of money, in a name
that is far from clear to the averag
taxpayer, and thorough investiga
tion is now to be initiated to discove
and fix the blame for this large defal
cation. =,
The proceedings in this case vii
doubtless be watched with absorbinl
interest by every taxpayer in tn
county, as all are vitality intereste
in its outcome.

A Silent But
Watchful Hero

Pennington was again honored last
SATURDAY. by visit from another war
hero. who was surrounded all morn
ing by a crowd of interested citizens,
anxious to hear all about the many
exploits of the gallant soldier who had
added his full part toward putting the
Huns to rout. He was adorned with
three service and one wound stripes,
and had seen service in most OF tne'
great battles in France, being In the
first as we'll as the last of the Amer
lean offensives. While this hero did
no talking, his discharge paper told
of his valorous exploits.
This Zero is dog, Monmouth
Shadow by name, and was enlisted
from St. Louis as Mascot for Co. "A"
10Th Engineers Light Railway. lie
was born May 25th, 1915. His hon
orable discharge had the following no.
tations: "Married or SINGLE,
"Character-Highly temperamental."
"Free transportation anywhere, any
time" He is fine registered AR
dale. for whom his owner has recent
lv refused $4,000 He is commended
as a wonderful fighter, against whom
neither the German dogs or their
masters stood any show. In fact, all
the French and English dogs with
whom Monmouth Shadow came IN per-
sonal contact on the battle front end
ed second best.
Monmouth Shadow took to the wal
game with almost human intelligence
and in trying and critical moments
exhibited practically as much insight
into the proper course to pursue as the
average soldier. He was never gun
shy until he was shocked by a shel
, exploding within few feet OF nm
which blew him about twenty feet
, For some time after that occurrence
) he was on the invalided list, from
which he apparently entirely recovered
q and was again doing his full quota o
, work on the front when the armls
: tice was signed.
His master, Marvin T. Babb, VIII
:, now lives in Indianapolis, Ind, wa
i with this real hero of the war. Il
f fact they were in company durln
e Americas entire activities in tina
e struggle. Mr.. Babb was visiting hi
t parents near Sprott, Ste. Geneviev
k county, on his return from the iron
e before going back to his old posltio
S in Indianapolis. Monmouth Shado7
: appears to be as proud of his maste
e as as the master is of his dog. In fac
y The Times imagines they were mo:
valuable team in Uncle Sans army
k France.

Bank of Flat
River Failure

The failure of the Bank of Flat
River, which was announced in The
Times last week, is already in fair
way to be cleared up without the loss
of a penny to the depositors. Not on
ly the capital stock and surplus was
fritted away in incompetent manage
ment, but something over $4,000 IN
addition will have to be put up by the
stockholders. The Miners & Mer-
chants Bank of Flat River has made
arrangements to pay all depositors in
full. and will also take over the bus
mess of the defunct concern.
The bcnking business of Flat River,
especially during the rush hours, will
perhaps necessitate keeping open OF
both banks, which will hereafter be
under the same management. The
efficient and competent management
of the Miners & Merchants Bank
makes that institution as solid as the
Rock of Gibraltar, and if the plans
now forming are carried out the bank
ing needs of Flat River will be more
competently carried out than they
have ever been. 5G .tc, =,
Regarding the failure of the Bank
of Flat River, it is only proper to say
that the president, H. M. Buckley
who had held that position only since
the first of the year, has shown him
self to be real man during this dis,
aster. While the trouble which caused
the banks collapse WIS in existence
before President Buckley was elected
to that position, so that he inherited
, it all, he has remained true and stead
f fast when the acid test was applied
, and we understand that large par
+ Of the $4,000 loss, in addition to th'
Y capital and surplus, has been put VI
9 by Mr.. Buckley. 5 All credit and homo no
to him for such a course, which pu
few are big enough to- pursue.

Two Hereford
CowsSell for $1,000

What is believed to be the highest
price paid for registered Hereford cat
tie in this community was obtained
last Monday, when Henry w. Manley
of this city sold to j. G. Ballard and
E. D. Turley, both of near Libertyville,
two 5-year-old cows, one Of them hav-
ing 7-months-old bull calf at side,
for $1,000. These animals are of the
most popular breeding in the U. S. to-
day, the calf being grandson of Gay
Lad 9th on its sire's side (who was an
International grand champion), and
also grandson, on its mothers side,
of Old Repeater, no doubt the greatest
Hereford bull That ever lived. One Of
the cows is a daughter Of Gay Lad 9Th,
the other daughter of Old Repeater.
John Burlbaw owned one-half in
terest in the calf.
Messrs. Ballard and Turley are very
fortunate in securing these good ami
mails. They are both wide awake,
hustling Hereford breeders, and know
well the value of the right foundation
stock "Watch the fellow that gets
the good ones"

Where Car Owners
Cheat Themselves

"Battery manufacturers estimate
that the average car owner gets about
two-thirds Of the service and life OF
which his battery is capaible,, says
Bert Wines, local Willard Service
Station dealer.
One of the reasons for this, accord
ing to Mr.. Wines, is that the owner
does not form regular habits with re-
gard to battery care. He will, for in
stance, add water every week just as
directions say as long as his car is
new, But after he has been driving
his car while, he begins to slip and
adds it only every two weeks or ev-
cry three weeks, or perhaps even lets
the battery go month without at
tention.
Fortunately battery will stand an
enormous amount of this neglect be-
fore the effects begin to show, but
they are sure to become apparent al
ter a while.
The only way to keep any battery II
Ishape to give all the service it is ca
pable of, is to add water at regula1
| intervals just as long as you own
your car. Then if you make hydrome
ter tests regularly, be sure that yo!l
are keeping the charge up where
ought to be. If you go to the bat
tery service station the minute any
thing seems to be wrong, you can b
fairly sure that your battery won,
, do the unexpected thing and go bac
, on you just when you need it mos'
, Moreover, you can be certain that yo
, are giving it the sort of treatmen
!. necessary to prolong its life.

This is Boy
Scout Week

{ The boys and girls of today will be
the citizens of tomorrow. They will
determine what our country shall be
economically, politically, and morally.
They are our country's greatest asset,
and hence should be first in the minds
and hearts of all true Americans. One
year ago, when our hearts were aglow
with patriotism, we found no service
too hard, no sacrifice too great, for
the bows cover there" Certainly we
should be equally concerned about the
boys at home, that they may become
better citizens.
A splendid opportunity for this kind
of service is offered by the Boy Scout
movement. The President has sent
forth special proclamation to OBJ
serve June 9Th to 18th as Boy Scout
Week. At least one million associate
members will be enrolled during this
thine. associate members are mer
and women who pay membership
fee of one dollar, or more, year fol
having their names enrolled.) Thi!
will put over a million dollars to worl
for the extension of Boy Scout troop'
in America. Far better than this, !
will put a million hearts behind th'
movement.
But Boy Scout Week is not properl.
observed unless drive is made Il
promote the local work, as well as
| drive for associate members in the ma
tional organization. The Boy Scout
of Pennington need your support.
| At a meeting of citizens Monda
evening, plans were perfected for car
rying out an aggressive campaign TO
| home needs and for associate member
ship. Boy Scouts will canvass tn
town for that purpose. If you wis
to become an associate member, Civ
the boys at least one dollar and you
name to be sent into headquarter
If you prefer to assist the local Scot
work, pay any sum you feel dispose
to give. Receive the boys kindly, an
encourage them in their work. Ais
use your influence to get more boys
Join the scout troop. 1t will help
make better citizen of every one

seth Heroes Home

The Farmingtonian who saw SER
vice with the seth Division in France,
began coming in last Saturday from
Camp Funston with their final dis
charges. They have continued to
come in since then, till within few
days it is expected that all those with
the seth will have reached home and
again taken their place in civilian life.
The seth Division was composed
largely of National Army men from
Missouri and Kansas, many boys from
st. Francois county being enrolled in
it. The Division saw considerable
service during the later months OF the
war, taking part in many of the en-
gagements that succeeded in push
ing back the Huns. The whole Di-
vision won an enviable reputation as
fighters. After the armistice was
signed the 89th was sent as a part of
the army of occupation into Germany
They started for the States in May.
The returned s9th soldiers carry
with them some Of their equipment
as war souvenirs, which are prov,
ing interesting to their friends anc
relatives. Gas masks and helmets
seem to carry the most preference a'
souvenirs. As all heroes are, the re
turned fighters are modest concerning
their achievements, but no doubt the!
could recount many thrilling tales o
their adventures against the Germal
hordes, if called upon to do so.
Those who have arrived or will ar
rive home soon are: Roy Green, Clyd
Phillips, Henry Cleve, Bill Cover, E
Zimmerman, Bob Priester, Ed Hill
ker and Reinie Quesnell. All LOG
we'll.
Other Overseas Soldiers Home
