es and failures in retail business are
shown, and their remedy told in the
lecture, which has been prepared from
the experience of the National Cash
Register Company in its thirty-four
years of dealing with merchants in
all parts of the world.
A prominent place in the lecture
is given to the value of newspaper ad-
vertlsing. By means of stereoptican
slides, Mr.. Brennan will tell how to
prepare newspaper copy, how to Sc
cure best results, and why a mer-
chant should advertise continuously.
Window display, efficiency of clerks,
selling methods, credit business. de-
livery problems, and other topics of
interest to merchants will also be dis
cuSscd
The film tells in a vivid manner the
story of Mr.. White, merchant who
is near failure. As the film progress
es, the reasons for his lack of success
become plain. Poor arrangement of
goods, an unattractive front, lax bus
mess methods, and most of all, out
of-date business methods, all contrib
uted their quota of loss.
Finally change comes in the ca
reer of Mr.. White. He cleans up his
store, installs a modern system, and
rapidly rises to success. The film is
declared to have business lesson in
every scene.
Many merchants and salespeople in
this city are expected to welcome the
opportunity offered by this lecture,
and a large attendance is looked for
at the Court House next Wednesday
evening.

A String of
Fine Ones

Dave O'Dell went out to Crimes
hole, on the st. Francois, Monday,
prepared to play with the finny tribe,
and the string of"fine ones he brought
back with him was ample testimony
that he had found the game. That
string was sufficient to make last
ing reputation for Dave as an under
study in the art that Isaac. Walton
made famous.
He exhibited to the envious eyes of
his friends catch consisting of five
splendid black bass. weighing from 8
to 31s pounds each, and four large
crappie of 1h pounds each. The sight
Of them was enough to make one
heart-sick that they were not permit
ted to participate in the pleasure of
such catch. The banks Of Grimes
hole will now perhaps become worn
smooth by the multitude who are de-
sirous of initiating Dawes splendid
performance.

Five Rest in
Single Grave

The remains of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Ewing Westover, aged, respectively,
81 and 2S years, and three daughters
aged II, 8 and 6 years, all of whom
died last week, between Wednesday
and Saturday, at their home just north
of Pennington, were laid to rest in a
single grave at Three Rivers GENE
terry, five miles north of this city,
Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of
gathering conservatively estimated
at $500 people, many of whom had
been drawn by the inexpressible sad
ness of practically an entire family
being laid away in single grave.
The funeral cortege passed through
this city at the noon hour, and at that
time there were more than hundred
automobiles in the funeral march,
and many others continued to fall in
line until the cemetery was reached.
There an immense grave had been
prepared, Z 1-2 feet long and eleven
feet wide, for the reception of the
five caskets. With the caskets placed
far enough apart to permit the pass
age of several people, more than an
hour was required to permit the i'm
mense concourse of sorrowing rela-
tives and friends last look at the
dear departed.
The remains were laid to rest in the
Woodmen cemetery, the last rites be-
ing performed by Rev. Sutton and
Rev. Kincaid, both Of whom were old
friends of the stricken family. Only
two little girls of the Westover fam
lily remain, the younger mere in
FAINT, neither being old enough to real
ize their great loss. They will be cud-
died into practical forgetfulness of
their great loss amid the tender and
devoted kindnesses of those who will
look after their welfare. e

County Court Receives
Collectors Settlement

The st. Francois County Court met
yesterday to receive and examine the
final settlement of the outgoing Col.
lector, ]. J. Croke. The settlement
was examined in cursory manner by
the County Court Judges, hut owing
to the large amount of money in
volved, as well as some troublesome
questions that have not yet been set
tied to the satisfaction of the Court,
final action in regard to the settle
ment was postponed until next Thurs
day, April 3rd.
The retiring Collector thought the
Court should accept his settlement
for the reason that a confessed judg-
ment had been rendered against him
in the U. S. District Court in St. Louis
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-03-28

for $107,515.45. But the County
Court Judges failed to see that they
were bound by such judgment, and the
matter was carried over until next
Thursday, when things of more or
less interest to all parties concerned
are likely to be brought out. And is
not every tax-paying citizen in st,
Francois county more or less inter-
ested as to whether or not that $107,-
513,45 is thrown off of the taxes Of
the lead companies in this county?
Thos. A. Mathews and o. L. Nun
ger have been employed as special
council to look after the interests of
the county, to examine the settle.
ment and to render written opinion
as to what further action should be
taken in the premises.

There will be pie supper at the
