Demonstration for
American Legion

The LePere chapter of the Amer
lean Legion and the Daughters of the
American Revolution have arranged
for a demonstration in this city next
Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 18th.
At 1870 o'clock parade will form
in front of the Presbyterian orphan
age, in which all are invited to join.
Business men are invited and expect
ed to advertise their business with
banners on their cars, or in any other
way they may see fit. The parade
will be led by float of the American
Legion, which will represent all
branches of the army service. In ad-
dition to Uncle Sam, there will be a
soldier, a sailor, marine, a Saliva
tion Army lassie, Red Gross nurse,
and representative of the Y. M. c.
A.
From the starting point, the parade
will march east on Columbia street to
the Lang Mfg. Co., north to Liberty
stree, west to Jefferson street, south
to Columbia, and east to the Monarch
theatre. There the D. A. RS will
render an excellent program, and
Major Henry Davis will deliver an
address. Also the camp fire songs
that will be sung by the American Le-
gion should add much to the pleasure
of the occasion.

DEFEAT WILL MAYFIELD FOR
FIFTH VICTORY OF SEASON

In the sixth game Of the season,
five of which have been victories, last
Monday afternoon the High School
football team defeated the strong Will
Mayfield College team, of Marble
Hill, by score Of 800, five touch
downs, with no goals kicked, making
the tally. The touchdowns were
scored as follows: Simms, 2; Gar
ner, 1; LePere,1; Graves, /. Graves
scored his touchdown on 60-yard run
from criss-cross on the kickoff, and
Garner scored his from a forward
pass. The other touchdowns were Sc
cured by line smashes.
The local team was handicapped by
the absence of several first team men
from the lineup, but the team worked
only the harder because of their abb
sense and were able to clinch the vic
tory over their opponents. 81
Will Mayfield has a strong, heavy
team. They gave the local team a
hard russell and during the first few
minutes of play it seemed that they
had the edge on the local team, but
the tide soon turned and never during
the rest were they dangerously near
| the goal, sg1 81
hldNo game has been scheduled for
this week., on, account of the absence
of the teachers at the State Teachers
Association in st. Louis. The team
will go;to Perryyille to play return
game with the Perryville High School
next Friday

Iron Mountain
Changes Owners

Capt. ]. w. Elledge, who recently
purchased the Iron Mountain mining
property, and who since his owner
ship has been getting that properly
in condition for advantageous mining
of the excessively rich iron ore that
is still SO abundant there, last week
sold the property to an eastern cor
poration of unlimited capital, and The
Times is informed that the new own
ers will continue work there on a
considerably enlarged scale, and the
prospects are that Iron Mountain will
soon take on activities even greater
than those of it's palmies days, when
MANY millions of dollars were exract-
ed from it's great mineral wealth.
Whether or not this is true, Capt.
Elledge appears. to have been able to
handle the great property advantag-
eously to himself, as the report is that
he has cleaned up about $250,000 in the
sale, which he doubtless felt was
good enough, rather than to continue
in control, with the great responsible
ity such control would Of necessity
entail. He is no longer young, and
it is altogether likely that he felt that
was a sufficient margin of profit at
the present stage of development Of
hose mines, in which he is confident
there are still many millions of dol
lars worth of the richest iron ore that
has ever been discovered. In fact,
this ore is so rich and so pure that it
does not need to be smelted, but goes
righ into the ovens in its natural
state.
The new corporation, which is re-
puted to be enormously wealthy, IS
expected to at once continue opera
ions. which will doubtless soon result
in the rehabilitation of Iron Mountain,
and it would not be surprising if an
other great mining town does not
soon spring up there again, even
larger and more prosperous than was
the original Iron Mountain. When
this condition of affairs again obtains
there, that community, which for a
number of years has been almost de-
populated, will again bloom and bios
som and all its many inhabitants will
be prosperous and happy. This is eX-
actly as it should be, with that great
mourain of rich ore awaiting de-
velopment. 1t doubtless contains
more actual wealth--real profit to the
producer than all the lead mines in the
entire Mama, Okla, fields, even
though these enormous deposits have
been passed by for years, by our own
people, in their search for that tabled
pot of gold at the end of the rainbow:
Here's to the abundant success OF
the new operators of Iron Mountain,
and to the growth, and much greater
growth of the new town-city it may
soon be--of Iron Mountain.

Another Annual
Hereford Success

The Fifth Annual Hereford Sale,
under the auspices of the st. Fran
co.'s County Hereford's Breeders As
sociation, which was held at the
Clardy Farm, two miles west of
Pennington, proved to be another big
success. Many bidders were in at
tendance, and a great crowd was pres
ent to witness this great annual event
among the Hereford breeders of this
county.
Under the capable management of
w. d. Ashburn as sales manager every
necessary arrangement had been care
fully provided for, and Col. Garten as
auctioneer proved to be the right man
on the block. Bidding generally was
lively, and most everything offered
sold well, under the circumstances and
conditions. While the prices did not
range as high as those of last year
when the scarcity of feed is consid-
cred, the prices averagd good, and the
sellers were all satisfied.
The buyers and the prices paid were
as follows:

Field Trial Association, which will be
held at Iron Mountain, st. Francois
county on Nov. 18th, 18th and 10th.
This will be the second annual field
trial meeting Of this association, the

plete with real interest to all mem
bers. Fifty to seventy-five members
are expected to be in. attendance at
this meeting, when many of the dogs,
pointers and settlers, will be on exhi-
bition. Iron Mountain was doubt.

bility for the needs of the sp0rtsnYen

A Near Fatal
Auto Accident

Last Saturday afternoon six Farm
ington young men, all ranging around
eighteen years Of age, decided to go
to Bonne Terre to root for the Farm
ington girls who played the Bonne
Terre team a game of basket ball
that evening. Milton Simms furnish
ed his fathers Ford for the trip, and
drove the cGr. Besides Milton, there
were in the party Mack Denman,
Matkins, Walter Blomeyer, Leslie
Evans and Warren Bclknap.
When they started on their return
trip, their Henry apparently devei-
oped "square" tire which was in
clined to lock suddenly while the car
was in motion. Several times on the
road home this affection was noted,
but when they reached town the Ford
appeared to be doing better and the
boys continued their ride on through
the city about a mile, and as they
reached the Lang Mfg. Co., going at
rate of about twenty miles an hour,
the old trouble developed with even
more seriousness, the wheel appar-
emily locking most suddenly and tight
ly, which resulted in turning the ve-
hicle over two or three times, end
spillng the six late occupants into
the roadway, three of them apparent
ly dead. (
Mack Denman, who was but slight
ly injured, called doctor; Leslie
Evans, who was apparently complete
ly dazed, got up and went home, for
the time being devoid of reason, and
went to bed. The driver, Milton
Simms, also was but slightly inquired.
TIE other three sustained more or less
serious injuries, Walter Blomeyer be-
ing the most critically injured. Dur
ing Sunday it was feared he would not
recover, suffering from concussion of
brain. But The Times is pleased
to be able to state that he is now ap-
parently improving.
Mack Matkin also had severe
cash about his left eye, which it was
1T first thought he woud lose. He al
so had broken rib, but he also is now
reported to be on the road to recov-
cry. Warren Belknap sustained a
badly laceratd hand and wrist, but he,
too, is reported to be recovering. 1t
was certainly narrow escape for all
the boys, ad will doubtless serve as
valuable lesson to them against
fast driving. especially in a Ford.

MAKE THE PENNIES BIGGER

When James Buchanan was Presi-
dent and tall beaver hats were N
vogue; when gentlemen wore broad
cravats and ladies wore hoop skirts
the pennies they tossed to children
were as big quarters. But the cart
wheel your grandfather got for keep
ing bis lace collar clean were not as
big in buying power as the pennies OF
today.
Your great grand father may have
driven the fastest horse in the eoun-
try and paid tidy sum for it. But
the price of stable of thoroughbreds
would not have bought him fiiver:
Sixty years ago the ladies could
go shopping for dry goods and buy
silks that would make you green with
envy, linens that were linens and
broadcloths that beggar description.
But what their favorite store did not
have they usually got along without.
You can pick up your daily news
paper and in fifteen minutes you can
know what the different shops are Of
fering in fabrics, patterns, varieties
and qualities that great-grandmother
never dreamed could be gathered to-
gether under any conditions.
Times have changed and SO have
merchandise and business methods.
One of the influences that has helped
bring about so much of change, that
has helped to multiply opportunities
and increase the spending size OF our
pennies is advertising.
Every merchant, every manufac-
turer knows that advertising mater
tally reduces selling costs by increas-
ing the demand for distribution OF the
products of hundreds of thousands of
mills. Indeed many of the things we
count today as necessities or simple
luxuries could not be made and sold
at their reasonable prices except as
advertising has created a broad mar
ket for them, making millions of sales
at little prices and littls profits. :.
And SO you owe very much to ad-
vertising. You owe much to the peo-
Pile of yesterday who have read and
been influenced by past advertising
and so have made possible the econ
omies and varieties and wide distri-
button of merchandise that you enjoy.
You owe present advertising a
thorough reading. A greater famil-
iarity with advertising, with adver-
tisers and advertised merchandise
makes continually for the increasing
size of your pennies. Exchange.

James Abott, Jr., the six-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. L. Abbott, met
with quite painful accident Satur-
day afternoon at his home in the
eastern part of town. He was playing
with other children, and while walk
ing or studding, slightly elevated
from the ground, one of his playmates
suddenly elevated one end of the
studding, causing the little fellow to
fall astride the studding, from where
he tumbled to the ground. But nail
in the studding caught him in the rec
tum. tearing out quite a large piece
of flesh Little James stood the nee
essary repairs like a veteran, never
so much as whimperlng, and is now
able to be about again.
The American Legion will give a
smoker in the Circuit Court room in
Pennington next Sunday, beginning
ait 2 o'clock, to which all ex-service
men, whether members of the Legion
or not, are cordially invited.

Some Great
Damage Done

Innumerable evidences are every
where apparent of the great damage
that was wrought throughout the
country by last weeks heavy rain to
those who have been travelling about
somewhat. The loss and damage
to farmers has been great indeed, both
in ruined crops and damaged farms.
Many fields have been very noticeabiy
damaged by having much soil car
ried by high water, where often it
may require many years accumulation
in order to bring back such fields to
their full capability of production.
But another great source of dam
age, which must force itself upon any
one travelling over the county, is the
Nimmeasurable damage that has been
wrought in the highway4 Where
ever there was dirt surfacing the loss
is perhaps most noticeable, many
cuts and chug holes having been
formed by the rushing waters. Even
on rock roads the damage is also
noticeable, and especially where chat
was in use as a surfacing. In many
places, especially in depresssions and
valleys, car loads of chat have been
swept from the roadways into the
bitches, and can often be seen in great
mounds where they have been deposit
ed by the deluge of waters, leaving
the roadway in gulleys or else, if it be
rock road, with rock of every descip-
tion protuding, making travel over
them rough, slow and tedious.
The damage to the roadways of st.
Francois county, by the recent heavy
rains, can with conservativeness, he
reckoned at many thousands of dol
lars. 1t will require an inestimable
amount to put the damaged roads,
which means practically all of them,
back into as good condition as they
were, before the recent rains. And
even then, there could be no guar
antee that they would remain in their
improved condition beyond the next
hard rain. There is only one way to
build roads that will stand against
hard rains, and that is to have them
hard surfaced. The Times hopes the
day is not far distant when the peo-
pie Of st. Francois county will de-
mand hard surfaced roads, even though
the roads of this county are even now
far superior to the roads in most of
the adjacent counties. Road build
ing is one thing where the lest is the
cheapest, and the cheapest is the best.
