New POStOfice
Bill introduced

Congressman M. E. Rhodes, of Po-
tosi, on the 3rd inst. introduced in
the House of Representatives a bill
to appropriate $4,000 for a govern
ment building in Pennington. When
w. L. Hensley represented this Dis
trict in Congress he intFoduced.a q Sim
liar bill, which was defeated, perhaps
owing to impending war conditions at
that time. An appropriation for the
purchase of site for such building,
however, was passed, which site has
since been purchased and is now ready
for the building.
There now appears to be nothing in
the way of such an appropriation be-
ing passed, and it seems to be a per-
fectly sane conclusion that this bill
may become law before the present
session of Congress comes to a close.
Anyway it is apparent that Farming
ton will soon have a new postoffice
site. where its constantly increasing
business can be transacted in salts
factory manner, as work has already
been started in the remodeling of the
Home Saloon building for occupancy
by the postoffice.
A furnace and foundation for the
vault is now being constructed in the
basement Of the newly selected site,
where there will be ample room for
the expeditions transaction of the bus
mess of the office, which has prac-
tically doubled in volume within the
past four or five years. 1t is the hope
of every good citizen, however, that
Congressman Rhodes bill will soon
become law, in which event the
Pennington postoffice should be in it's
own splendid building within the next
two or three years. Following is the
bill:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be, and is hereby, authorized
and directed to cause to be erected
upon the site already selected, as pro-
vided by Act approved March 4, 1913,
in the city of Pennington, Saint Fran
co.'s County, Missouri, a suitable
building, including fire. proof vaults,
heating and ventilating apparatus,
and approaches, for the use and ac-
commodation of the United States
postoffice, the cost of said building,
including said vaults, heating and
apparatus, and approach
es, complete, not to exceed the sum of
S75 5000.

Armistice Day
Celebration

The observation of Armistice Day
in Pennington Tuesday afternoon
drew a large crowd, many from diff
ferent parts of the county being pres
ent to observe and to participate. The
program, which had been previously
arranged, and which was published in
last weeks Times, was carried out
with interest and enthusiasm. A pa
riade of enormous length was formed
IN front of the Orphanage, in which
hundreds of automobile loads of peo-
pie participated. Most of the cars
were handsomely decorated with
flags and bunting, and presented a
really inspiring sight. The parade
was headed by splendid float of the
american Legion, representing the
different branches of the army service,
and it drew forth many expressions of
admiration.
When the parade dispersed at the
Monarch, that theatre was crowded
and jammed with people desirous of
witnessing the splendid program that
was rendered there, under the ans
pices of the d. A. R. Major Henry
Davis, of Fredericktown, also deliv-
cred an address, which was well re-
ceiYeed. The members of the American
hegion also sang campfire songs in
entertaining manner, and the entire
program was greatly enjoyed by the
many present.

Circuit Court
Now in Session

Circuit Judge Peter H. Huck ar
rived from Ste. Genevieve Monday
morning and convened the regular
November term Of Circuit Court. Very
wet, sticky and slippery roads were
wrestled with through Ste. Genevieve
county, but the Judge had Ford, and
consequently reached here on time, if
not in the best possible shape,
Immediately after his arrival he
"got busy" with court business, in
which he has since been engrossed.
The first general business was to go
through the voluminous docket and
reset all cases that could not be
brought up for trial on the original
date that had been fixed.
A number of minor cases have also
been disposed of, together with some
divorce cases, so that the important
work of the. present term has as yet
hardly begun.
A number of visiting attorneys
were present at the opening of court
and the remodeling of the docket, so
that they now know when to appear
for the trial of the case or cases in
which they may be interested.
The Times will keep it's readers in
formed as to the disposition of cases
as the trials proceed.

Our Information

Regarding the fit that The Lead Belt
News threw last week, The Times will
merely state that one of it's sources of
information regarding the ownership
of that plant by the st. Joseph Lead
Co., is the testimony of Mr.. Finley,
the mining expert, who made an in
vestigation into all the assets of that
company. In that report Mr.. Finley
stated that the st. Joseph Lead Co.
owned the Lead Belt Publishing Co.
The Times was conservative, in view
of such testimony, in stating that it
had frequently heard" that, the ST..
Joe was a large owner Of othe stock
of that plant.
Threats and epithets are easily han
died, especially by viscious tongue,
but they prove nothing. The Times
Will also state that it has been COM
pllmented and commended by hum
dreds for the course it has pursued in
the recent labor trouble in the Lead
Belt. So it still appears to be moot
ed question as to who has been
throwing monkey wrenches into the
machinery" Further evidence is
necessary before the Lead Belt News
will be permitted to gather to itself
all the emoluments for splendid work
done in that community.

ST. LOUIS U. FRESHMEN 27;
OZARG BUSINESS COLLEGE O

The st. Louis University Freshmen
football team last Friday afternoon
on the High School field defeated the
Ozark Business College team by a
score of 27-0. The game was fast and
interesting and was witnessed by a
large crowd of townspeople, as well as
several from out of town.
Two of st. Louis touchdowns came
from forward passes, a department of
the game in which they were very eff
ficient. The back field of the visiting
team was very strong and were good
ground gamers. However, the Ozark
line held well and most of the gains
of the opposing team were made
around end and by forward passes.
The Ozark team should be COM
mended on the showing they made
against the well trained and strong
st. Louis team. The local team was
necessarily unable to practice to-
gether much, but it is certain that
with practice they can defeat st.
Louis or any team as strong. Indi-
vidually, the players did we'll.
The lineup of the Ozark team was:
Ends-Radle, Mitchell, Edwards.
Tackles-L Tetley, Seller, Ridgway.
Guards-H. Akers, Burnette, Mccoy.
Center-Cole, Capt.
Right half-back-.Wichman.
Left half-back-Haile.
Full-back-E. Klein.
Quartet-back-Taylor Smith.

An Excellent
Appointment

Edward Byington went to Jefferson
City last week, where he met State
Game and Fish Warden Tim Birming-
ham, who appointed him deputy on
his staff, and established a new dis
trict for him. The new district is
composed of st. Francois, Jefferson
Madison and Washington counties
The creation Of this district necessi-
tated number of changes in other
districts, but it furnishes large field
for the industrious exercise of one
mans ability, no matter how active
he may be.
The establishment of this new Of
fee is right in line with the ideas of
all true sportsmen. 1t will insure
better pri lection for the game and
fish in counties of this district, as the
overly large territory one man was
formerly required to overlook has
been considerably diminished, and
there is no question but that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Byington will give
to the game and fish more protection
than has ever before been given to
these departments:
Especially in regard to proper fish
protection will this addition and
change be most important, as the
many splendid streams in this new
district, while generally well supplied
with game fish, should be far more
abundantly supplied with the deni-
zens that afford real delight to nim-
rods. This appointment is also in ac-
cord with Tim Birmingham's prom
ise while in this city recently, on his
way to inspect Silver Dam in Madi-
son county, that he would appoint a
deputy from this county.
His host of friends feel that it
would have been impossible to have
selected better man for such posi-
tion than is Mr.. Byington, who is an
old resident of this city and county,
known practically to all citizens of
the county He was for years a pop
ular office holder and a successful pol
itician. Energy and go-getiveness
are two of his principal ingredients,
and all sportsmen, who desire to throw
around the game and fish every pos
siblc protection, to guard them from
slaughter and annihilation, will be
pleased to learn of Mr.. Byington's Sc
lection to fill this important place.
Deputy Byington left Monday on
get-acquainted trip through his dis
trict, and will visit some of the prin-
cipal points in each county,, and map
out plan of organization from which
to work.

TO PERRYVILLE TODAY

The High School foot ball team goes
this morning to Perryville, where
they will play the second game of the
season with the Perryville High
School team. The team has been
practicing hard the past week in pre-
paration for the game and it is their
intention to even up with Perryville
for the defeat she handed us in the
first game of the season when she
went home with the big end of 1873
score. Having won five straight VIC
tories, the local team is hoping and
will fight hard to make the sixth also
victory. Several "rooters" will ac-
company the team to help boost them
to victory, while those who remain at
home will be boosting hard, too, al
though they cannot attend the game.

NO SPEAKER
IS SELECTED
BIZ Special CORRESPONDENT.

By Special Correspondent
TRENTON Jan 15-An Unexpected
battle in the senate between the Mac
kay and Runyon- Wells faction over
alleged assignments, and the failure
of the members of the House of AS
sembly to elect speaker after taking
five ballots, featured the opening day
of New Jerseys one hundred and
forty-third session of the legislature
here yesterday aftrnoon.
The House met at noon, and be-
tween then and $50 o'clock three
I ballots on the speakership were taken,
all of them resulting in thirty votes for
Assemblyman Pierson, of Union, and
the same number for Assemblyman
McAteer, of Hudson. Two more bal
lots were taken after the recess, from
1880 to $3.50 o'clock, but they also
resulted in tie, after which the House
adjourned until next Monday night at
eight o'clock.
A touch ~ pGthos swept over the
House when Assembly man Kellam. OF
Camden, introduced a resolution on
the death of Theodore Roosevelt,
which was unanimously adopted by a
rising vote. Assemblyman Hugh c.
Barrett, of Essex, Democratic leader,
made fine address in support of the
resolution. The Grafton of the day
was made by Assemblyman Cochran,
Roosevelt resolution.
According TO well-founded rumors
about the State House, the organiza-
ton of the House will be effected
Monday night by the election of AS
semblyman Pierson as speaker, after
the Democrats, holding out for Nc
Ateer for two or three ballots, swing
over to the Union man.
As soon as the speaker is chosen
40 n "a nf ha xyfl
easy, for then the Democrats will
choose the clerk, who will likely be
| Edward Handley. of Newark, a politi-
cal lieutenant of James Nugent. The
rest of the offices will be distributed
alternately between the Republicans
and Democrats. as will the control of
committees and the House patronage.
The unexpected fight that develop
ed in the senate was created by sena-
tors who espoused the cause of Sem
ator William b. Mackay for senate
president over Senator Harold b.
Wells AS soon as the senate met
Senator Runyon, of Union, was elect
ed president. and William II. AL
bright, of Gloucester county, was
chosen secretary of the senate. For
president the fourteen Republicans
voted for Runyon and six Democrats
for Senator Thomas Barber, of War
ren.
A sudden halt in activity came after
this organization work had been COM
pleted This was found due to the
alleged unfair treatment of Mackay
senators in the matter of committee
appointments. Senator Mackay wants
TO go on the judiciary committee in
place of Senator James Hammond, of
Mercer, who Is O Runyon-Wells man.
Senator Allen, of Salem, wants to
supplant Senator Whitney, of Morris,
as chairman of the appropriations
committee. Mackay and Allen are
Mackay men, and Hammond and
Whitney are Runyon-W Wells men. The
two committee places involved are
among the most important in the sem
ate.
