Second Prize in
State Corn Contest

Earnest Burlbaw, the IL year old
son of John Burlbaw, has the proud
distinction Of being the winner Of the
second prize in the corn producing
contest in the State last year. This
contest was conducted under the au-
spices Of the Stae Agricultural Col
lege at Columbia.
Several young lads from this coun.
ty entered this contest but Earnest
Burlbaw was the only one who stuck
it out" and his success is a fitting tri-
butte to his grit, knowledge and enter
prise. He produced yield from his
acre Of 81 bushels and few pounds,
which was excellent for last year and
on an upland farm.
Earnes has just received his pre-
MUM, consisting Of $3.50 worth Of
War Savings Stamps, and prouder
12-year-old it would be hard to find
than is he. Mr.. Burlbaw has since
sold his farm, and is now living in this
city, for which Earnest is very sorry,
as he has acquired the habit of raising
corn and would like to get into the
contest this year. He tended and har-
vested his acre without assistance
from anyone.

If Time is Out
Please Remit

Many Times subscriptions are just
now beginning to expire, that is the
advance payment on such subscrip-
tions. Owing to the continued high
price of print paper and everything
that goes into the making Of pa
per, The Times management must in
sist on advance payment of all sub
scription accounts. Advance pay
mcnt of subscription is certainly no
harder than is payment after the pa
per has been going to you a year, and
it is far more satisfactory to US. In
fact it would be a positive hardship to
us if we were compelled to wait a
year for a thousand or more sub
scriptions long past due. You see the
point, don't you? With you it is on
ly your individual subscription that is
concerned, while with US it may mean
hundreds-eve thousands. Do not
wait for statement. Look at the
date printed alongside your name, on
the margin Of the paper, or on the
wrapper. The date appearing there
will show you exactly when your paid
subscription expires. IL the date
there given has expired, please send
in your remittance, and we will thank
you from the bottom of our heart.

WILLIAMS WILL BE SPEAKER

The Sunday School workers of St.
Francois county are very fortunate in
having come to them Sterling L. Will
liams, of Kansas City. Mr.. Williams
is the Young Peoples Superintendent
of the Missouri Sunday School Asso-
citation. II was he who organized the
1400 boys in Kansas City two years
ago in the prohibition campaign and
according to the papers of that city
these boys put Kansas City among the
dry voting cities Of this country. Ell
gin Clardy, formerly of this place,
was one Of the leaders among the
boys in that campaign. Mr.. Williams
time could all be used in organizing
boys in the big cities Of tbs country
if different campaigns, he is one of the
leaders and teachers at the Lake Cen
eva Training School. Mr.. Williams
will be ON the program five times in
the st. Francois County Sunday
School Convention, which meets in
Pennington May % and "a. Every
one in the county interested in tho
great problems effecting the life of
the boys and girls should hear him.

Business in
Fine Condition

The annual meeting Of the stock.
holders Of the st. Francois County
Bank was held Monday. "A review 81
the business during the past year
showed that institution to be In an ex-
ceIlent and prospering condition.
w. T. Halle, the former president
requested that his name be stricken
from the Board Of Directors, by rea-
son of his intention Of moving with
his family to Florida at an early date.
While there was general regret al
such decision by Mr.. Halle, there was
nothing left to be done but to receive
his resignation, both as president as
well as member Of the Board of Di-
rectors.
Judge E. e. Swink was elected
President, and Dock Mackley was
chosen to take Mr.. Haile's place on
the Board of Directors, so that the
affairs of that splendid institution will
suffer no impairment from these nec-
essary changes.

Splendid Plan for
Improving Streets

Some splendid work on the street
has recently been finished in front OF
Oscar Haile's residence, on Liberty
street, which was made necessary ev-
identity by the "workD done on that
street some two years ago, when that
then splendid roadway was plowed up
and "rolled", since which time that
then splendid road has never been 50
good. In the blowing and scraping Of
material to the center Of the street,
"shell holes" were left where the
street is supposed to join the curb,
which has ever since increased in di-
mensions, until Mr.. Halle felt that
something must be done in order that
his residence not be entirely discon-
nected from the street.
The manner in which this feat was
accomplished was so simple, so Mr..
Halle says, that it might prove to be
interesting to others who may be SIM
ilarly situated. After pleading in vain
with the city authorities to repair the
street at that point, he simply had
several loads of rock hauled, crushed
and spread; then he had gravel and
dirt spread for surfacing-and paid
the bill. That was all. He says any
one can do the same thing just as sue
cessfully as he did; there is no copy
right on the plan; it is free for public
or private use. But he offers his pri-
vate guarantee that this plan will
work If the specifications heretofore
set out are carefully worked" out,
providing you have ch,nced to inherit,
from any cause, a jolt, a gigger, lob
lowwow or chasm in the street in
front of your premises.

President Crane
Visits Property

M Clinton H. Crane, President of the
st. Joe-Doe Run Co., Unexpectedly ar
rived in the st. Francois county lead
belt the last of the week and spent
several days in somewhat searching
investigation in the manner in which
the extensive properties belonging to
that company in the district are being
handled.
The presence of Mr.. Crane in the
lead belt at this time seems most nat
ural to those on the scene, who have
for some time felt that all things were
not moving along in that district as
the head of the company, nor the COM
pany management, desired. Neither
would it be at all surprising if some
of those who have been trusted, APP
parently to an unsual extent, in the
local field, are shorn not only of their
authority, but of somewhat fancy SAL
airy they have been drawing down.

TO BUSINESS MEN

Think back to that time when your
factory was burdened with overhead
costs and idle time in all it's depart
rnents. Your business was threatened
with disaster
Don't you remember when that big
order suddenly appeared on the hori-
zon and you knew it would save the
life of your concern? What did you
do? You told your salesman to go
out and get that order and never mind
about expenses.
When that order was in hand and
the plant resumed running at full ca
pacity, what did you do with your
salesman's expense account? Did you
refuse to pay it? No; you bet you
didn't, and, what is more, YOU prob
ably gave him bonus besides.
Now, here's the point:
In 1917 the United States found
that it was in danger Of being swept
off the earth by German autocracy.
The only alternative it had was to send
its statesmen (the army) out after the
big order lyictory) with a blank
check. for expenses. The statesmen
brought home the order in record
time and the United States will con-
tinue in business. ff
Are YOU one of the principal stock
holders in the United States govern
ment, going to stop payment Of that
check?
No; you bet you're not! You're go-
ing to buy Victory Bonds to the limit
and, what is more, you will get the
bonus for yourself. Buffalo Express.

Must Sign Quickly
There has been much discussion Of
the question whether the German del
egates would sign the peace treaty.
The Germans at first proposed to send
messengers to Versailles to take the
treaty to Berlin, but they were made
to understand that delegates with
power to sign the terms of peace must
he sent and this was done. Further
more, the Germans will be allowed on
| ly definitely fixed time within which
to sign the treaty.
Allied representation at the cere-
monial today was made complete by
the arrival in Paris this morning Of
Vitorio Orlando, the Italian Premier,
and Baron Connino, the Foreign Min
lister, who 1t had been feared for a
time would not be present because of
| the tangle over the Adriatic question.
The Italians, however, indicated that
they thought it necessary that solid
Allied front be presented to the Ger
mans, and their delegates returned
from Rome despite the incomplete
state of the Adriatic negotiations
which, however, they might affect the
settlement with Austria Hungary, do
not figure In the making Of peace with
Germany.
All In Accord
The day likewise found the repre-
sentatives Of Japan aligned squarely
with the other Powers. Any compli-
cations that might have been threat
ened over the question of Kiaochau
and the wording Of the League of Ma
tions covenant having been smoothed
over.
The ceremonial Of handing the trea-
| ty to the Germans took place in the
hall of the Trianon Palace Hotel, a
spacious, well lighted chamber with
tables for the delegates arranged
nearly in the form Of square.
It was presided over by Georges
Clemenceau, the French Premier,
president Of the Peace Congress, who
sat at the center Of the head table
with President Wilson ind the other
American representative 0ns. his
right, and David Lloyd George, the

to Main street would be of much ad-
vantage. The good resulting from it.,
extension from High street to Wash
ington street has been voiced many
times. The objection to q city street
running parallel to the railroad ira ok
might arise, but it could easily be de-
feated because the run with the rail
road tracks is q matter of a few feet
whereas the advantage TO be gained
by the now street would be manifold
Were the street extended through to
Main, the traffic when congested at
the Main street crossing by trains or
otherwise. would move west to WASH
ington street or even to High street
as it is improbable that the three
crossings would be blocked at the
same time. Thus the holdup at the
Main street crossing would be greatly
relieved and the small Inconvenience
of going the added distance would be
unthousht of because of the time
saved
Another reason the extension of
Lake street through to Main street
would be of advantage is that it
would add another street going west
and parallel to West Main street. For
a city of this size. it is surprising to
find that virtually the only western
outlet from the center Of the city is
West Main street. The opening of
Lake street would make a street run
ming west TO Grove Hill and the turn
ing out onto West Main the traffic
would be much freer and greatly re-
l1eVed. AT the present time traffic
starts up West Main directly from
Main There is no other outlet until
Myrtle street is reached and that
course is long and roundabout Even
if Walnut street is used traffic Just
drives up that street and then has to
turn into South High and soon finds
himself back again in the heavy West
Main street traffic. The automobile
traffic on West Main street is becom-
ing heavier and heavier all the time.
The incoming traffic is also heavy
and generally when q trolley car is
outward bound there can be seen fol-
lowing it q long line of vehicles
which must stop every time the troll
ley car stops. Lake street as an auto
traffic clearance street would prove
of value to the city,
The railroad crossings in the main
part of the city have proved a nuis-
ance for years and as they are not be-
ing changed. but the city is growing
ali the time. some manner of relief
must be found. 1t has been stated
before that if the railroad changes it's
tracks in this city, they will be laid
underground. This work may be done
some time but it will probably be a
long. long time before 1t is even start
ed. Meanwhile the city must provide
for traffic and other things.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1919-02-17
TRAFFIC PROBLEM
is IMPORTANT one
City Must Eventually Open Up
New Arteries Of Travel in Center

From appearances at the present
time it would seem that the time is
not far distant when some measure
of relief will have to be found for the
heavy traffic in the center of the city.
1t may also be that Lake street will
be extended through to Main street
and thus relieve the pressure some
what. AT the present time the block
ing Of the Main street crossing for
but a few minutes means that a long
line of autos are waiting to cross and
this line often reaches far south
enough to Impede traffic at the corner
of Main and West Main streets. This
city Is unfortunate in its traffic prob
lem, but all the center OF the city is
really congeSted in small area
around Central Park and traffic gen
orally Is heavy where the business is
located. The heavy commercial
trucks take up much room and these
are often busy administering to the
Main street stores.
There has been much opposition
because there Is not more parking ia
cilities in the center of the CITY and
because the limit in good sections is
restricted to 40 minutes. The reasons
for these restrictions are very good.
The fact that the real center of the
city Is located around Central Park
has already been mentioned. When
people enter g. city they generally go
to the center of the city and if strang-
ers enter this city and find all of the
center congested with automobiles
thew will move on whereas If they find
n space where they may leave their
cars for 40 minutes they may stop
and do business There is plenty Of
parking facilities on nearby streets.
Arch street, Chestnut street, Washing-
ton street and other streets really at
the center of the city are unrestricted
for traffic, yet they are often unused
because it is a small walk to the real
business center. The same conditions
exist in nearby cities In Hartford one
cannot park his car right up in the
busy section; neither can he in any
large city around here.
