London.-Mosquitoe or midges

At the RiaIto.

Carol Holloway, who is known
to phOtofans as the most dashing
horsewoman seen in screen drama,
rides to the rescue of the threat
ened hero in the fourth episode of
'Perils of Thunder Mountain" to
be seen at the Rialto theatre on
Wednesday. 1t is said to be such
ride as will thrill onIookers as
few feats can, and it will be at
once apparent that only a person
born to the saddle could achieve
such reckless bursts of speed and
sit on a horse with such assur-
ance.
Such surmises on part of audi
ences are corroborated by fact.
While still a child in pinafores,
Miss Holloway straddled a Shet-
land pony in her home town for
long jaunts into the billy country
in which she lived. Later, as she
grew up, she sat her saddle side
wise, as became the custom, but
she has never ceased her advocacy
of her childhood mode of riding.
mo real fun is gotten ost of
horseback riding when one sits in
the cramped position affected by
women under the Misrepresentation
that they are conforming to the
dictates of good taste and mod
esty," declares Miss Holloway.
Riding breeches and facing 'front.'

western women of the plains, is

the number of one horse cabs in

Shaves Now Zoe;
Hair Cuts 40c

At a meeting of the St. Francois
County BARRIERS Union, held at Flat
River Sunday, it was determined to
raise the price of shaves from 15c to
2Oc, and Of hair cuts from 35c to 40c.
This new order will go into effect on
Sept. 1st, so if you have not yet had
your annual hair cut, there is still suf-
ficient time for you to save a Jitney
by having that matter combed into
immediately. &. -
The BARRIERS of st. Francois county
have been slow about making pro-
vision for the higher cost of living,
not withstanding the fact that their
customers are better served than in
most other communities, both in regard
to frst-class service and sanitary pre-
cautions. The Times ventures the as
gertion that there is not another town
in the State that can boast of better
BARRIERS or more up-to-date and cleanly
shops than Pennington has. The To-
cal BARRIERS are all gentlemen, who go
strong on the theory that cleanliness
is next to Godlincss." They are fully
justified under existing conditions, to
this slight raise in the price of their
work, which, even with the advance,
is still cheaper than is most of life's
necessities

Who Are Those
Strike Breakers?

Felix Dixon, of Elvins, representa-
tive of the miners unions in the Lead
Belt, met up with foul play at Mitch
ell last week while advertising la
Dor union meeting there. Two or
more men at work there, supposed
minors, attacked him, apparently with
out cause, cursing him and saying that
they wanted none of his union labor
stuff. The elimination of the trou-
BILE was that one of the miners struck
Dixon in the breast with a rock,
knocking him down, while another
| kicked him in his right eye. When
Dixon come to he found himself to be
considerably battered up and bruised.
This incident causes The Times to
wonder if the aforesaid bruisers real
ly are miners, or are they merely
camoufaged miners, whose real bus
mess is "strike breaking" This pa
per has been informed that the mining
companies have again imported a
number of bullies and thugs into the
Lead Belt in an attempt to keep down
a strike, and from the manner we are
informed that attack was made on
Dixon it appears to be altogether like
ly that his assailants belong to such
gentry. 1t is to be hoped that this is
not true, but if it is a fact that the
companies are again STOPPING to such
practice, then serious trouble is like
ly to result in the lead district at any
time, and whatever the consequences
may be the companies will be to blame.
This also reminds the writer of a
story he has heard of how, sveral
years ago, the companies imported a
number of low browed and heavy
jowled characters into the Lead Belt
for the purpose of intimidating work
men; and how, afterwards, a few of
those same individuals followed Z. A.
Guest to New York when he moved
there to take charge of the Federal
Lead Co. and planned for abducting
his little son, which was only frustrat-
ed by the activities of the police force
of that and other cities. If they had
succeeded in abducting Mr.. Guest and
holding him in SOLITARY" few years,
it might have been fitting retribution.
For when anyone employs such thugs
and murderers to intimidate and hold
down honest labor, then there should
be no distinction between employee and
employer. If there is any difference,
then the employer is the guiltier Of
the two.
1t is believed that Mr.. Guests ex-
perience in that matter caused him to
get an improved vision on life, though
it may be that the managers of the
st. Joe Lead Co. have not yet "got-
ten WISE. 1t is fact, however, ga..t
if the men who made the assault on
Dixon were there for some such pur-
pose, that company can be made to
pay, and should be made to pay, very
dearly for such enterprise" 1t has
been stated that they held commits
sions as peace officers. If that is
true, then it does not require any
great stretch of the Imagination to
fix responsibility for their actions on
the st. Joe Lead Co.

Farmers Organize
for Shipping Stock

Approximately seventy farmers
from the territory surrounding Farm
ington met at the Court House We'd
nesday afternoon and organized live
stock shipping association. The OBJ
ject of this organization is simply
to secure the best possible results in
the marketing of live stock. Mr..
Ralph Loomis, Specialist in Marketing
from the College of Agriculture, was
present and gave figures to show what
eight associations were doing in his
own home county and a neighboring
county. Mr.. Loomis has had great
deal of practical experience with ship
ping associations. He organized the
eight associations in Linn and Living
stone counties. These associations
were organized in 1916 and 1917 and
have been working long enough to
prove their worthiness. Mr.. Loomis
also spent three years in Minnesota
in work similar to this. The figures
presented by Mr.. Loomis were certain
ly very convincing as to the value of
the plan from both a practical and
economical standpoint. A Constitu-
tion and Bylaws of the Pennington
Livestock Shipping Association will
be published later and will explain
the entire workings of the association
and thus clear up many of the crron-
eous rumors which have been circu-
lated relative to this association.
The following seven directors were
elected at the organization meeting:
w. H. Counts, Cy Denman, Walter
Weimer, Maurice Highley, Frank
Robinson, John Mueller and John Rion.
The Constitution provides that these
seven directors shall appoint man.
ager who will look after the shipping
of stock They have planned a meet
ing at the Farm Bureau office, Friday
night, August 29th. Prospective man.
ayers will be the main topic of dis
cussion at this meeting.
The interest in the Association was
so strong that twenty-five men came
up at the close of the meeting and
paid their membership dues in advan-
ce, not waiting for their first ship
ment when 1t is customary to collect
membership dues.

Good Roads Mass
Meeting Saturday

In response to the call for Good
Roads Mass Meeting at the court
house last Saturday afternoon,
gathering Of about seventy-five result
ed. While the number present was
not nearly so large as it should have
been, it was quite representative,
many parts of the county being repro
sented, and considerable interest was
manifested.
r. C. Tucker was elected chairman
of the meeting, and Taylor Smith,
secretary. Thos. H. Holman, County
Highway Engineer, explained the pur-
pose of the meeting, as well as tell
ing something of the manner in which
he felt the matter of submitting q
good-roads bond issue to the people
should be proceeded with. A govern
ment engineer was also present and
told of the amount of money it would
be possible to get from the govern
ment for good roads work, as well as
the manner of procedure with the
preliminaries for submitting a good
roads bond issue has generally been
proceeded with.
There was considerable discussion of
some of the phases of the matter, but
all present seemed to be imbued with
the good roads spirit, the principal
point in the minds of many appearing
to be as to how to best look after the
proper expenditure of the large
amount of money for which it is pro-
posed to bond st. Francois county.
A resolution was offered and adopt
cd authorizing the chairman to APP
point committee of eight, whose bus
mess it shall be to look after all pre-
liminaries to a vote upon this all-im-
portant matter. So that all interests
may be represented, the resolution
provides for the selection of two
members from the business interest,
two from the mining interests, two
from the farming interests, and two
from the labor interests.
The Importance of getting the most
suitable men to serve on this commit
tee has made it impossible for the
chairman to make his appointments as
yet.

Stock Want Cooperative Marketing

buyer. Furthermore, large percent.
age of the stock buyers in this county
are also farmers, who do not depend
entirely on the buying and shipping
of stock for a livelihood, and the ex-
isting rivalry between them, even
though friendly, always insures the
seller the best possible price, even
more than they could secure if they
should ship their own stuff to market
There are also many other condi-
tions that would always be liable to
arise to work harmfully to co-opera-
tive stock shipping. For instance
Jones may ship few dozen hogs that
he knows are better than a half-doz-
en- porkers that may have been
shipped by Smith, and yet Smiths
hogs may bring a cent or two more
than Jones' hogs. Think of the hard
feeling that might be created in such
a manner. The bars would be con-
stantly down for just this and a thou
sand other such differences of opinion
Then, too, it must be very apparent
to all that practically everything in
the way of profit would Of necessity
depend upon the shipping manager
If he was absolutely honest and fair
it appears to The Times that there
would be very good chance to make
a-success of this proposition. On the
other hand, if his conduct was not
above reproach, what a chance would
be offered him to keep the last cent OF
profit from the shipper--even to
cause him to pocket loss.
The Times has recently interviewed
a number of stock raisers and feeders
on this subject, and they have general.
ly resented what they designate as
interference in their business by what
they designate as "town farmers,
whose advice they have been getting
along very well without for many
years, and which they do not feel like
accepting now. This paper would like
to hear from others regarding this
important matter, no matter what
their views may be. We would be
pleased to publish anything that may
be sent us ON this subject, but do moi
fail to enclose your name, which will
not be printed, if you desire that it be
withheld.
