SPLENDID APPOINTMENTS

The announcement last Friday OF
the reappointment by Governor Gard
ner Of Edward J. Bean, of DeSoto
and VIM. G. Busby, of Carrollton, each
for another term as members Of the
Public Service Commission, meets
with the hearty endorsement and APP
proval of great majority of the peo-
pie of the entire State. Especially in
this southeast land is the rcappoint-
ment of Ed. Bean received with pleas
ure and rejoicing. Considerable fight
had been waged in some quarters to
the reappointment of Ed. Bean, owing
entirely to his constant and insistent
course of standing on the side Of the
people. With practically all good
Democrats, as well as Republicans,
Mr.. Bean is very popular, and deserv-
eddy so.
Papers of the same date also con-
tanned announcement of the reap
pointment of James T. Bradshaw as
State Grain Commissioner for another
six-year term To The Times editor
this appointment is particularly pleas
ing, largely owing to the relationship
existing between the appointee and
The Times editor. But, regardless Of
such relationship, it is universally
conceded that under j. T. Bradshaw's
management the Grain Inspection and
Weighing departments in this State
has been built up until it is of great
est possible Importance to the prOduc-
ers, who are thereby absolutely guar
anteed q fair and square deal, not on
ly in regard to weight, but also as to
correct inspection.
In announcing Mr.. Bradshaw's ap-
pointment, we noted that the Globe
Democrat apparently tried to make it
appear that the large salary fund in
his department was paid directly out
of the Golfers of the State. While the
work in that department. requires a
large number of employees, it is a
fact that such department. returns to
the State a profit, after paying its en-
tire expense. This is but another dem
onstration of tire fact that Republi-
can organs are always willing and
ready to misrcpresent a Democratic
official, sregardless of what such off,
cial may be accomplishing for the
good of the people in administering
the affairs of his office. The Grain De-
partmcnt not only moro than pays its
way, but is doing inestimable good for
the producers.

WHY NOT BE A "RAG-PICKER"?

In earlier life we frequently heard
the story of how Jay Gould started to
accumulated what, in his day, resulted
in an immense fortune, but the fol-
lowing is the first imitation we have
had that ag-picking" yet appears to
be the popular way to amass great
fortunes "Rag-Picking", which now
appears has never been thoroughly de-
veloped, may afford the opportunity
for the thousands of unemployed to
get busy and become millionaires.
Listen to the following:
Estimates compiled from govern
ment reports on "waste reclamation"
in the United States indicate that
more than 400 millionaires have been
developed from pursuit of "any rags,
any bones, any bottles today?"
Rag picking and collection of tin
cans, scrap iron, old paper, wire, rub
Der and all discarded metals represent
an annual turnover exceeing $2,000,-
100000, according to estimates.
And all kinds of classes are "get-
ting into the rag game" because of
its monetary attractions. The waste
reclamation service of the commerce
department has discovered one Har-
ward man who gave up a $10,000-a-
year "rag-picking" job to enter war
work-apd now he's going back to his
original work again. 80
More than 200 collection and sorting
plants, in operation in big cities alone,
average a turnover of 100000, 900
annually.
Approximately 100000 persons
were employed in the business in 1918.

The people of Jefferson county are
Just now finding out that the last of

good roads in that county had been
spent before the old county court
Event out of business. This fact
was discovered. only after the new
court began to investigate into the
matter, to see how much money was
still on hand for good roads work, be-
fore contracting for more work. They
were doubtless surprised when they
found the cupboard bare. But it was
certainly careless in our neighboring
county to place such an amount Of
money in the hands of the county
court judges. to be spent in accordance
with their ideas. or whims, as the case
may be. Such a proceeding is abso-
lutely devoid of business, and The
Times is not surprised to hear that
the taxpayers came out at "the little
end of the horn,' and that without
crowding. When the people of st.
Francois county vote a good roads
pond issue, as The Times hopes they
win BIT an early date, provision for
the safety of such funds will be in
cludcd in the proposition, and such
money will only be paid out for con-

Such a situation arises when Jules; Beaubicn, played by Mir. Williams, takes up the gauntlet for the little haIf-breed Indian girl who had been his sister whom he had never seen and who is now dead.
 Annette, tho girl, has been loved by Baptiste, half-breed trapper. While BaptiSte is away on a hunting trip a stranger from the states arrives at the Indian village and charms the sim - pie Indian girl into ruin.
 Jules learns from his father on the latter's deathbed about his sister He sets out to find the girl Baptiste, re- turning from another region about the same time. also is headed for the h. dian village. Jules finds the girl dead in the snow with an infant at her breast. Jules demands the right of vengeance.
