FORMER WORKMAN IN LEAD
BELT WRITES OF DETROIT

Editor Pennington Times:
While am writing, will give you a
few notes for your paper, if you care
to print them.
After making up my mind to leave
Flat River, dropped letter to a
friend in Detroit, asking him TO meet
me at the train on a Sunday morning
in June, and on my arrival my friend
was waiting with his auto. He drove
me to his home, and to church and
back to his home, where dinner was
served, the table being loaded with ev-
erything the appetite could wish for.
After dinner we drove over the city,
seeing the sights, among which was
the justly celebrated Ford Automo-
bile Plant. We were informed by a
man in authority there that their av-
erage production of automobiles is
5000 machines daily. Detroit has a
population of over a million people,
and most of the great manufacturing
plants here are still short of help.
Machinists and laborers are especially
in demand, and good wages are paid
everywhere.
Any report that work is now scarce
here is plain falsehood. / under
stand the lead companies at Flat
River are talking of having their men
vaccinated, in order to prevent their
taking the Detroit Fever" Suppose
that would be cheaper than to raise
their wages.
On July 4th / took q boat trip to
Put-in-Bay, thirty miles down the De-
.troit river and then thirty miles out
into Lake Erie. 1t was fine trip, on
one of the largest fresh-water lakes
in the world. One of the sights of
Put-in-Bay is Perry's Monument,
which is 1852 feet high, and $50 feet
square at its base. 1t has an electric
elevator, which makes it very conye-
nient to go to its top, where there is
standing room for 500 people.
On the Canadian side are some pro-
gressive cities, of which I may write
at some future time. Wishing all my
Missouri friends we'll, will close for
the present. A TIMES READER.

|Seventy-Nine
Strenuous Years

Wednesday, July 3Oth, was the sew
enty-ninth birthday of Senator Jas
per N Burks, and it found him still
in a hale and vigorous condition both
of mind and body, except that he is
unable to get about actively, owing
to rheumatic conditions that have
somewhat impaired his lower limbs.
A week seldom passes, however, that
he does not walk down town once or
more for a shave and to meet his many
friends.
His many years of life have been
well filled with activity, much of
which has been spent in public SER
vice. He was the friend, companion
and confidante of all the old-time pol
iticians and public men of this State,
when men grew truly big. Such men
as Senators Vest and Cockrell, W. j.
Stone, John O'Day and Martin L. Clar-
dy, were always pleased to call him a
friend and to consult with him. He
represented this district in the State
Senate one term and was the first
grain inspector the State ever had, to
which position he was appointed with
out applying for it. AS lawyer he
ranked high during the many years
he practiced his profession, and as a
public speaker he was excelled by
none in forcible and convincing pre-
sentiment.

In Championship
AS Fisherman

County Collector Ed Brewer is rap
idly acquiring reputation as an ex-
pert fisherman, which will perhaps
soon make him legitimate contender
for the championship in the sport that
Isaac Walton made popular. Some of
those who see their glory waning are
contending that he don't belong" in
this community-that he is an "im-
poster. But such allegations fail to
"stand up" as Collector Brewer is now
full-fiedged Farmingtonian, owning
one of the finest homes in the city,
and is unquestionably here for at least
a term of years--we hope for always.
But as to the piseatorial art of st.
Francois county's popular and eff
cient Collector: He loves to entice
the fish from their favorite hooks,
and during the present slack season
in the Collectors office he has been
devoting considerable time to study
ing the habits of the finny tribe. He
and that other expert fisherman, P.
G. Hunt, who has long been consid-
cred by many as entitled to the lau-
rels as fisherman, have recently
made a number of trips together to
entertain, and to be entertained by
the "denizens of the deep, and al
most invariably has Ed Brewer made
the biggest and best catches.
On Tuesday of this week this pair
of nimfods were fishing with flies on
the St. Francois, few miles west of
town, and had caught number of
fine perch. But Ed did not appear to
be satisfied with "small game, even
though flies were his ammunition. He
thought he recognized the home of one
of his special friends beside large
log, and made long cast for the COW
eted location. And he "rang the
bell," for Immediately large bass
grabbed the fly and started to "beat
it,, but was gently detained by his
friend at the other end of the line, who
gently demonstrated with him for
some time, tiring him out, and final
ly letting him "hide" himself in some
weeds near the bank, from which
point of seclusion Ed rescued him. 1t
proved to be a big-mouthed striped
bass, 3 1-2 pounds.
p. G. seemed to be slightly offend
ed that anyone should catch such a
fine specimen with a fly; thought they
were fishing for smaller fish, and an
nounced that he was ready to "quit
and go home." But Ed evidently be-
lieves in taking the big ones, and let
ting the little ones grow. Then, too,
the big ones "go farther"

COstliest Load of
Hogs From County

Judge E. E. Swink the first of the
week shipped load of hogs to the
st. Louis National Stock Yards that
topped the market, and, according to
The Times information, brought the
most money ever received, in this
part of the State at least, for single
carload of hogs. There were 55 head
in the car load, averaging trifle less
than $50 each, the load bringing $4,-
133--or $23.15 per hundred pounds.
After having made his selections
from the herd, few more head were
required in order to fill the car, and
rather than put in any of those he had
decided to retain, the Judge agreed
to put in several pigs that were con-
siderable smaller than the great bulk
of the shipment. The smaller ones
greatly reduced the average
weight. Most Of the hogs in this
shipment had been bred and raised by
Judge Swink, who appears to make a
success of whatever he turns his hand
to do.

The position of Pennington in this
important matter is exactly the same
as is Bonne Terre. With two very
creditable newspapers, Pennington is
also handicapped with a job office,
which gets a little work from unthink-
ing citizens. In this connection, The
Times desires at this time to make a
single addition to the splendid pre-.
sentiment above, by the Lead Belt
News and the Bonne Terre Star:
Wherever there are creditable pa
pers, that are always working for the
upbuilding of the community where
published, such community is absolu-
tely under obligations to support
those papers. Failure to do SO menas
that they are falling short of their
duty as good citizens. The Times
does not believe that any sane being
will for a moment dispute the fact that
Pennington has, two good newspa-
pers, that are credit to this COM
aunity. That being true, then they
are positive asset to every business
man in Pennington. Therefore the
business man is under positive obliga-
tions to support such newspapers with
both job work and advertising. Fail
ure in this menas that they are get
ting something of benefit for which
they are failing to pay. Call it what
you will, bat these are few facts IN
this connection.
What kind of an asset to a COM
munity is job shop? II gives to
the community nothing, from the be-
ginning to the end Of the year, and
its customers get from it nothing
more than they pay for. The busi-
ness man who passes up two good
newspapers, each with considerable
pay roll, to patronizc a job printing
office, without any payroll, such bu-
siness man is either acting thought
lessly or else he has no interest in the
welfare of the community where he
has perhaps made practically all he
has. Such business men, who continue
to act in such contrary manner to the
true community spirit, forfeit all
claim to public patronage. This is
plain talk, but it is up to you, Mr.. Bu-
siness Man, to disprove it, even to
your own personal satisfaction.

NEW AUTOMOBILE
LAWS EFFRCTIyE IN
MISSOURI AUG. 2

Attorney General McAllister has
ruled that the several new automobile
laws passed by the last Missouri Leg
islature will become effective Aug. 7.
Most of them were aimed to put a
stop to automobile stealing Senate
bill 484 is the most important and
drastic of these. This bill requires
any person operating a public garage
or repair shop to keep a record for pub
lie inspection of the name and kind of
car, license number and engine num-
ber of all automobiles taken in or held
in charge by said garage for the pur-
pose of sale, rental, livery or repair.
This record is to contain name, kind
of car, address of person delivering
the car to garage, license number and
number of engine. The alteration of
an engine number is to be prima-facie
evidence of larceny. The owner or
proprietor of the garage, when finding
altered identification marks, shall i'm
,mediately notify the police and hold
car for investigation. A failure to
comply with this law subjects the pro-
prietor of the garage to a misdemean-
or, punishable by imprisonment in the
county Jail not exceeding one year, or
a fine of $500, or both.
This law also makes it felony for
any person to buy or have in his pos
session an automobile upon which the
motor number has been defaced. This
is felony under this law punishable
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary
not exceeding five years or by fine
of $500 and Imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail for one year, or both fine and
Imprisonment.
The same punishment is prescribed
where person removes or destroys
the identity of an automobile. Kan
sas City has city ordinance which
is the same as this State law.
1t is anticipated that this law will
put an end to the stealing of automo-
biles in Missouri.
The compliance with this law will
mean considerable trouble and ex-
pense for garage proprietors. In fact,
it is anticipated that in the larger ga
RACES the extra work that will be en-
tailed by this law will require the en-
tire service of an extra man. How
ever, we are not predicting that this
law will prove to be poor one. 1t
may prove to be meritorious. If it
puts an end to automobile stealing,
then it will doubtless be worth all the
extra expense its enforcement will
entail.

Why Batteries
Can't Last Forever

"Most people can understand why a
tire wears out, or why bearing points
of car work loose" says Bert Wines,
local Willard Service Station dealer,
"but they don't quite see why bat
terry should ever wear out"
"Of course the main trouble is that
it's harder for anyone to imagine a
chemical process than mechanical
one, and the battery is strictly chem
ical."
"There's not much inside battery.
About all there is to it is set Of
plates with insulators between each
pair, and solution that covers both
plates and insulators. These plates
are simply lattices of metallic lead
filed with lead compounds. The in
sultors may either be wood or Thread
ed Rubber"
Before battery can be used at all
it has to be charged. The electric
current coming in, causes certain
chemical changes. When you turn on
your lights or step on the starter,
changes start in the opposite direc-
tion and supply you with current.
"Of course this constant changing
back and forth will wear out bat
terry in time, just as contact with tho
road will wear out a tire. And even
if the battery is in storage and is kept
charged, some wear will go on, as the
chemicals are all present and are new
ar absolutely idle.
"The way to get the longest life out
Of your battery is to keep in mind the
fact that its life depends to great
extent on how well you treat it, and
to remember to add water and make
a hydrometer test at least once every
two weeks.y

PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT
DONATED TO PRESBY-
TERRAIN ORPHANAGE

Up-to-date playground equipment,
such as would make any yorngster
happy, has recently been put up on
the lawn at the Presbyterian Orphan
age. The eighty-odd children at that
institution seem to greatly enjoy the
use of it, as they can be seen from
morning till night swinging and per-
forming other acrobatic stunts. Park
hurst Sleeth, of Flat River, donated
this equipment to the Home and has
the thanks Of the management and of
each child there. Mrs. Sleeth present
cd doll to each girl in the Home, for
which she, too, is thanked.

Three Good
Men Pass On.
Henry p. Sutton

The death Of Henry P. Sutton, which
occurred at his home two miles south
of this city, at $40 o'clock Wednesday
morning, drew down upon this COM
munity very preceptible shade of
sadness, as to know this remarkably
good man was to love him. There
fore his friends were legion, as he
was born in st. Francois county more
than 63 years ago, and had lived here
all his life. If deceased had an enc
my, that fact is not known. In fact
it is not thought possible that such
a man, always mindful only Of his
own business, unless perchance he
might be able to do friend or
neighbor good turn, could have an
enemy, or anything other than warm
friends.
He was 63 years, 2 months and IL
days old, death resulting from a per-
forated appendix, resulting in per-
itonitis. Funeral services occurred
yesterday afternoon and burial was in
the X. of p. cemetery, near town. He
is survived by his wife, a son, Harry,
and two grandchildren, to whom he
leaves considerable means, as he was
always a hard worker and frugal in
his living.

CAN YOU ANSWER
THIS QUESTION?

A Times reader at Esther sends the
following, which we hand out to our
readers, with the request for an ans
wer, which we would be pleased to
publish. The proper solution of the
problem appears to be beyond us.
The letter is dated July 26th:
Editor Pennington Times:-Will
you allow me to ask a question
through your paper? I notice that
you are always on the right side in
regard to the labor situation.
The notice that the lead companies
recently posted, stating that on August
1st wages would be advanced 12h per
cent, appears to me to be entirely in
adequate. 1t seems to me to mean
only another cut in wages for US min
ers, unless some way can be found
to prevent the merchants from "beat-
ing us to it."
One merchant in this town is now
advising us to buy meat today, "as it
will advance Scents on the pound next
Monday" Here also is to be found
three different prices on potatoes,
within three blocks of each other. One
merchant is selling them at $500 a
bushel, another is charging $40 for
them, while the third is selling them
at $500 q bushel. Each of them says
he is selling them at cost.
/ wish you could devise some means
to prevent merchants throughout
the lead belt raising on everything we
have to buy, even before that munifi-
cent raise Of 1914 per cent goes into
effect, which will not be until August
10th. which enables them to get the
full benefit of such proposed raise
three weeks before it can possibly
reach us.
This sort Of proceeding actually
fops us from the "frying pan into the

A special meeting of the Board of
Managers Of State Hospital No. A was
held Monday. The business to be Mt
tended to was the arranging for let
ting of necessary work, such as in-,
stalling fire escapes on the different
cottages, which for some reason was
overlooked when the buildings were
constructed. This improvement alone
will be an inestimable safeguard to
the lives of the inmates there in case
Of fire. Calls for bids on the different
jobs to be done there will be found in
this issue of The Times. The Farm
ers' Bank of this city was also again
selected as the depository for that in
stitution for the ensuing year.
