Women on the Job

Mrs. Frank Weber, County Chair
man of the Woman's Division of the
Victory Loan, reports very encourag-
ing results from her workers through
out the county. Although the prog
ress is much slower than in previous
loans. The women of Bonne Terre,
Bismarck and DeLassus are especially
making a good start. At the begin
ming of the campaign in Pennington
before the banks decided to take over
the loan, the women with their usual
enthusiasm and ability had reached
the $4,000 mark. A helmet is given
in each town to the man and woman
getting the biggest subscriptions, and
in Pennington Miss Emma Lang will
receive the helmet, having $14,500 to
her credit. In several towns the wo-
men have offered to give their he'll
NETS to the winner of the essay con-
test in the schools. Miss Lang has
graciously offered her helmet for the
same purpose in Pennington, so the
boys and girls in the schools are eag-
erly awaiting the outcome Of the con-
test,

portunity to earn living. Those un-
able to work must be honorably pro-
tected. The only ones on whom a
civilized community has right to
turn its back are those unwilling to
work.
a. The worker must receive a wage
which not only permits him to keep
body and soul together, but to lay
something by for a rainy day to take
care of his wife and children, and to
have his due share of the comforts,
joys and recreations of life.
5. Labor, on the other hand, must
realize that high wages can only be
maintained if high production is main
tanned. The restriction of production
is sinister and harmful fallacy, most
of all in its effect on labor. The pri-
mary cause of poverty is under-pro-
duction. High wages accompanied by
proportionately high cost of the es-
sentials of living don't do the worker
any good. And they, do the rest Of
the community a great deal Of harm.
The welfare of the so-called middle
classes, j. e., the men and women liv-
ing on moderate incomes, the small
shopkeeper, the professional man, the
farmer, is just as important to the
community as the welfare of the wage
Garner. If through undue exactions,
through unfair use Of his power,
through inadequate output, the work
man brings about condition in which
the pressure Of high prices becomes
intolerabie to the middle classes, he
will create a class animosity against
himself which is bound to be of inf
mite harm to his legitimate aspira-
tions.
It must be admitted, unfortunately,
that for long period in the past, So
ciety failed to give labor square
deal or to do anything like its duty
by labor. But in their rightful resent
ment against exploitation and in their
determination for the redress of just
grievances, labor should not permit
itself to be misled by plausible fall
lacies or self-seeking agitators. 1t
must not give credence, for instance
to the absurd preachment that prac'
tically all wealth other than that pro.
duced by the farmer, is the product Of
the exertions of the working men
There are, of course, many other fac.
tors that enter into the creation OF
wealth. Thus, the directive faculty"
the quality of leadership in thought
and action is not only one absolutely
needful in all organized undertakings
great or small, but it becomes in
creasingly rare and, consequently, in
creasingly more valuable as the OBJ
ject to which it addresses itself in
creases in size, complexity and diff

AMATEUR BANDIT RETURNS
DIME TO FIRST VICTIM

When Edgar Halk of Potosi, Mo-,
learned that a man he attempted to
hold up had only ten cents, he gave
the dime back with the remark that
it could be used as carfare.
Edward Moriarity, 819 Hickory
street, whom Halk held up at the Free
Bridge, Broadway and Papin street,
early today gave the police descrip-
ton of the bandit. Halk was arrested
and admitted the robbery. He de-
clared it had been his first attempt
and would be his last.
Halk told the police he came here to
look for a job and when he was unsuc-
cessful, he bought revolver and de-
cided to be a bandit. When arrested
he had thrown the revolver away and
was hunting a place to sleep. He is
held at police headquarters,-St. Louis
Star.

Senator Spencer
for National alLeague

Hon. S. P. Spencer, Junior U. S.
Senator from Missouri, delivered an
address to a large audience at the
Court House on Monday evening. Sen
ator Spencer was introduced by B. H.
Boyer in very vigorous, partisan at
tack on everything democratic.
Senator Spencer, purposely or other
wise, confined his entire address to
the discussion of the preliminary
draft Of the Constitution of the
League Of Nations; and, in his intro
duction to the subject paid just and
eloquent tribute to the American SOL
diers, and Americas inventive geni-
US, showing that every great instru-
ment of war was invented or discover
ed by an American.
He discussed these propositions that
he, and the American Senate, could
and would agree to: the abolition of
secret treaties, the agreement not to
make war without the consent of all
nations, and, in the event of war, not
to declare war for six months.
He then proceeded to discuss the
hope that the final draft of the Con-
SLlJutlUIl Vi Tie ICdSuo VI ANatioho
would safeguard the Monroe Doctrine,
retaining the sovereignty of the
United States, and expressly provide
that the American Constitution shall
not be abrogated.
He vigorously stated that 1--WE are
for a League of Nations, provided it
is properly safeguarded", but did not
discuss the final draft of the docu-
ment as it appeared in the public
press of Monday, except that she
hoped that it would safeguard our
American interests, and that after
hastily reading it, it seemed to have
been strengthened"
His speech was free from partisan
attack, but was studded effort to
convince the people that he and the
other Republican Senators who signed
the "wind robbin" were justified, and
that if the Constitution of the League
of Nations was, in its final draft, ac-
ceptable, it was the Republicans who
favored its amendment, and the Re
publicans should have the credit and
glory for all the good that would re-
suit therefrom. His speech reminded
us of lawyer going before the jury
and arguing his case on the original
petition, whereas the case was tried
on an amended petition.

TUCKER HOME TOTAL LOSS

The large home of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
C. Tucker and family, in the north
western outskirts of Pennington, to-
gether with most of its contests, was
entirely destroyed by fire last Friday
afternoon. 1t was about .2:30 O'Clock
Wharf.-The fire was discovered, and but
littf6, work could be done to fight the
flames, though every possible effort
was put forth to save everything that
could be saved. The residence was too
far removed from the fire limit for
the fire company to get their hose in
action to combat the flames.
Practically all the contents either
added fuel to the burning, or else was
badly damaged ip removing them
from the building, owing to the hasty
work that was necessary. Only small
insurance was carried on the house
and contents, and the loss falls heav-
lily on Mr.. Tucker and his splendid
family. A loss of at least $4,000 will
be entailed after the insurance is paid
in full.
The sorely stricken family feel very
grateful for the assistance rendered
and the many acts of thoughtful kind
ness that has been rendered them ir
this time of trouble. In fact theii
hearts go out in grateful thanksgiv'
ing to all who have brought to then
personal demonstration of what true
friendship really means. While much
of their savings of a lifetime was
suddenly obliterated in the flames, The
same process has demonstrated tt
them, in most forcible and convincing
manner, that they still have vas
number of friends in this most excel
lent community.
The fuckers are now domiciled il
the Reece Cunningham cottage, in thi
city, where they will reside while max
ing arrangements for a permanen
home, and it is the earnest wish o
their many friends that their nev
home may be even better and NOR
comfortable, if possible, than the on
so ruthlessly taken from them.

Pen PuSherS
Talk Shop

The Southeast Missouri Press As
sociation met in annual convention at
Fredericktown last Friday and Sat-
urday. The gathering proved to be
most disappointing in numbers, ow-
ing to several unfavorable circum-
stances-the chilly and disagreeable
weather, shortage of help, the Victory
Loan drive, etc. Yet, in spite of the
meager attendance, this proved to be
perhaps the most instructive meeting
the Southeast Missouri Press has ev-
err held.
Somehow the gathering felt more
nearly drawn together than ever be-
fore, resulting in full and free ex-
change of views and business Sc
crets" that such meetings very sell
dom call forth. Many and profitable
were the ideas and experiences there
turned loose for the benefit of the
craft, so every newspaper man in at
tendance felt that he was particularly
fortunate to have been in attendance
at the meeting.
. The good people Of Fredericktown
acquitted themselves most creditably
in looking after the pleasure of their
guests. To the live Commercial Club
of that progressive little city did the
visitors feel under special obligations,
as it was in their hall that the Asso-
citation meetings were held, and it was
this enterprising and wide awake or
ganization that rendered to the edi-
tors an elegant and enjoyable banquet
at Marvin College Friday night.
The visitors were most favorably
impressed with evidences of the splen-
did work that is being done in Marvin
College for the fitting of pupils for
their life work, for which much credit
is due the very competent faculty. 1t
was also exceedingly pleasing to note
the evidences of prosperity in Freder-
icktown, as was evidenced by a num-
ber of splendid new business houses
in the course of construction.
Editor Chiffon, of the Caruthers-
vile Democrat, was elected president
of the Association for the coming
year, and that place was also chosen
for the 1920 meeting, when it is the
earnest desire of those interested in
real "club work" among newspaper
men that there will be large attend
ance of newspaper men of Southeast
Missouri.

Some Big Land
Deals Being Made

Land transfers have been quite ac-
tive through the agricultural portions
of st. Francois county this spring
All of which is a good omen for more
intensive and productive farming,
which the market and conditions gen.
orally SO abundantly justify. 1t is al
together a seasonable conclusion that
no one is going to invest a large sum
of money in a valuable farm unless he
intends to make such farm produc-
tive to the greatest possible extent.
On the other hand, it is just as rea-
sonable that many who have long
owned valuable farms have ceased to
give such holdings their closest pos
sible attention, which profitable farm
ing requires. Therefore The Times is
of the opinion that such transfers are
for the benefit of the community where
they occur.
Two big transfers have been report
ed the past week, ]. C. Williams has
sold his large farm, in the Liberty
vile neighborhood, to the present ten
ant, George Conrad. This farm con-
tains about 1900 acres of fine agri-
cultural and pasture land; considera-
tion $4,000. This is one of the best
farms in the county, with its many i'm
provements.
Thos. H. STAN the last of the week
purchased of Mrs. Fannie Tolman the
200-acre farm, known as the old
Evans place, just east of Pennington.
1t is very fertile and splendidly i'm
proved tract; consideration $4,000.

COUNTY COURT

While tie County Court Judges
have been in session nineteen days the
past month, they were in session as
County Court only two days. For
seventeen days they were in session
as Board of Equalization, and while
there may be a few changes made in
the mining corporations, a number Of
complaints required careful atten-
ton before just action could be TAX
en- by the Board, which has apparent
ly performed it's work well.
The following warrants were or
dered, in addition to those published
in The Times last week:
Remington Typewriter Co., repairs

II days service on Board of Equaliza-
ton, days services on County Court

Farewell to Rev.
Bailey and Family

Rev. j. M. Bailey, who for the past
eight years has been pastor of the
Pennington Christian Church, leaves
today for Oregon, Mo-, where he goes
to accept call to the pastorate OF
the Christian Church at that place
Mrs. Bailey will remain here week
or so before following him to his new
field of labor.
Pennington is 10th to lose such an
excellent man and his family, for he
has made many friends during his
eight years stay here, outside as well
as among the congregation of which
he has had charge. He has been ac-
tive in all public, social and moral re-
forms as well as a most devoted
church man, none of the duties and
responsibilities of which has he neg
lected. Being a forceful and graceful
speaker, it is always a pleasure as
well as instructive to listen to him,
His congregation will greatly miss
him, fact which they keenly realize,
but also will the whole community in
whose welfare he has always taken 3
comprehensive and vital interest. His
relations with the Ministerial Alli-
ance of the town have been of a most
cordial character, a fact that was
pleasantly accentuated last Sunday
night. At the conclusion of the regu-
lar services of the Presbyterian, Bap-
tist and the two Methodist churches
the pastors and number Of the mem
bers of their congregations repaired
to the Christian church, arriving just
before the closing of the services
there. With Rev. R. S. Boyd acting
as chairman each Of the pastors haC
some warm, commendatory words fol
Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey, also words oi
regret that they were to leave US, but
wishing them much success in theil
new field of labor.
And on Tuesday night the congre.
cation of the Christian Church gave
him and Mrs. Bailey a farewell re.
ception at the church, at which there
were many expressions of good will
and affection and sorrowful regrets
over the imminent separation. 4
program of music, recitation and short
| addresses was arranged and carried
out, Mr.. r. l.. Allen acting as conduc.
tor of the exercises. "Blest Be the
Tie That Binds" "America" anc
"Sweet By and By" were among the
hymnal selections. A humorous read.
ing by Harry Smith was divertinl
feature of the evening. Short ad
dresses were made by T. D. Fisher
Judg J. S. Clay and J. H. Tetley OF
the congregation, and by Rev. R. M
Talbers of Jefferson City, Rev. H. A
Mitchell of the M. E. Church ant
chairman of the local Ministerial AL
lance, and Rev. o. H. L. Cunning
ham of the Baptist Church. Mrs. W
N. Fleming made a. short and feeling
address on the part of the womeni
organizations of the church, and Mr.
and Mrs. Bailey responded in grace
full acknowledgment of the many ex
pressions of good will and love, evinc
ing much feeling over the separation
from so many friends.
The reception closed with the serv
ing of refreshments and the singing
of "God Be With You Till We Nee
Again"

was that all fruit and much early

dens entirely ruined. 1t was an un-
