HOUSE DECIDES

With Quorum Present For First

Expunged From Journal.

! For Attorney General.

Nashville, Aug. 3t.-The Tennessee
house, with a quorum present for the
first time since August 20, this after
noon expunged from the journal all
record of ratification Of the suffrage
amendment, and then voted AZ To 81 to
non-concur in the action of the senate
ratifyipg the amendment.
Governor Roberts tonight declined to
make any statement in regard to the
action of the lower house, saying that
the matter was entirely legal one and
was in the hands of Attofney General
Thompson
The action of the house was not
taken seriously here as the general
opinion prevails that the legality or
illegality of the ratification will be de-
cided upon the record certified to Wash
ington by Governor Roberts.
Anti suffragists would not state to-
night whether or not they expect to
make an effort to have the senate also
reverse its action.
Washington, Aug 3i.-State depart
ment officials tonight in the absence
OF Secretary Colby, hesitated to express
an opinion as to the effect on the suf-
frage ratification of the action of the
Tennessee house today in reconsidering
its vote and then voting to non-concur
in the seate act of ratification.
Suffrage leaders here did not regard
the situation as serious.

Annual Religious q
Chautauquas

The annual assemblies that have
been held for the past several years
at Arcadia Heights, by both the M.
E., South, and Baptist churches,
continue to draw ever-increasing
crowds, which is the best possi-
BILE evidence of the success of
such gatherings. And it is but nat
ural that there should be an ever-in-
creasing interest in such assemblages.
No more attractive spot can be found
anywhere than is beautiful Arcadia
Valley, where 1t is not only a real
pleasure, but great benefit to health
as well, to spend day, a week, or
even a month.
Can anything be imagined, there
fore, better than camping trip there
during the Methodist or Baptist As
sembly, when the very best religious
talent from throughout the country
can daily be heard. The Methodist
Assembly is now in session, and will
shortly be followed by the Baptist
Assembly. While the tabernacles and
tenting grounds are separated by sew
eral miles, both are ideally located,
and everyone who attends either can
always be assured of very enjoyable
outing. Last Sunday there were about
1000 visitors at the Methodist AS
sembly, and there is every reason to
believe that number will be equaled,
or surpassed, next Sunday.

In Excellent
New Quarters

According to announcement in last
weeks Times, the Bank of Farming
ton opened for business Wednesday
morning in their splendid new quar-
tiers, which are most creditable to this
city. Indeed every citizen of this en-
tire community is entitled to take
special pride in the splendid appear
ance of substantially presented in
these new quarters. The opening of
such an institution means the devel-
opment of the true town spirit, Of
which it is impossible to cultivate too
much.
The Bank of Farmington's new
quarters are truly metropolitan in
character and arrangement. In fact
they surpass, both in appearance and
equipment, many metropolitan bank
ing institutions. Every detail through
out appears to be finished and COM
plete. The care and accommodation
of customers has also been we'll look
ed after, with spacious lobby, conven-
lent writing stands, and nearby win
dows for the transaction of any kind
of business desired. Also the work.
ing conditions there have been inf
nitely improved, and for those who
find pleasure in work, to be employed
there must prove to be a genuine de-
light.

In Our New Home

1t is with a genuine feeling of up
lift and thanksgiving that we are now
occupying our new quarters, which we
think are splendid. And yet it is
with sincere regret that we separated
from the old quarters, where for more
than thirty years this bank had en-
joyed splendid and appreciated pat
ronage. The principal reason for the
removal was that the business had
outgrown the old quarters, and the
desire to give our customers, and the
public generally, the best possible ser
vice, was the deciding factor in such
removal.
Many friends have already called to
see our new quarters, and we hope
the number of visitors will continue
until everyone in St. Francois county
shall have called and looked us over
in our new quarters. The more that
come, the greater will be our pleas
ure, as we are really proud of our new
home. Then, too, it is our earnest de-
sire that you make this bank your
bank, as well as your headquarters
at your pleasure, Do you understand
thnt re exSs, W 9necessary to ae-
eomplish this move was entered upon
to please you? That is the exact
truth. To add to your banking con-
venience and safety was tho real
foundation work of this change.
We wish to thank many friends for
expressions of good wishes and con-
gratulations. We also desire to ex-
tend thanks to friends for the many
beautiful flowers that were sent in to
add to the beauty of our surroundings
during the opening days. In fact, we
desire to extend sincere thanks to our
many friends and patrons, whose past
patronage has enabled this institu-
tlon to proceed onward and upward in
public esteem and confidence. That
every former patron will continue
with US, and that we may have a share
OF the business of others whom we
have not heretofore done business
with, is the hearty and sincere wish of
the BANK OF FARMINGTON.

Corn Syrup for Canning
If it is preferred to sweeten the
fruit when it is canned, white corn
syrup will be found a desirable sub
stitute for sugar. 1t takes one and
one-half to one and three-fourths cups
of syrup to give the same amount of
sweetness as one cup of sugar. If one
is satisfied with less sweet product,
and does not mind the slight corn syr4
up taste, corn syrup may be substi4
tuted for sugar, cup for cup, How
ever, most persons will be better
pleased if one cup of syrup and one
fourth cup of sugar are used in place
of one cup of sugar. One-fourth cup
less of water may be used in syrups
when corn syrup is used in place of
sugar.
In figuring how much will be saved
if corn syrup is used in place of SUI
gar, remember that 1 1-3 cups of corn
syrup equals a pound, while two cups
of sugar make, a pound. With corn
syrup at 10 pounds for dollar, it is
worth only z 1-2 cents a cup or about
half as much as sugar.
Canning Fruit Without Sugar
The housekeeper who does not want
to buy sugar for canning has three all
formations: (1) She may can unsweet
ened fruit with or without water; (2l
she can slightly sweeten fruit by us
ing concentrated fruit juice; (3) sht
may can sweetened fruit by using cora
syrup.
Canning with water is desirable
to use for firm fruits of dt-
cided flavor, such as gooseberrie,
plums, grapes, peaches and peah.
Whether this method will be an ed
nomical one depends upon what sugtr
will cost next winter ssail3.s
Even though it costs as much thin
as now, the cost will be distributed
over the year and will not have to be
paid at one time. In canning with wa-
ter, can the fruit exactly as you d.

turn and report.
But the fact that Pennington is to

our people should be content to await
in patience until the matter of loca-
tion has been definitely determined.

Pennington to Receive
100000 Long Memorial

Pennington is to have memorial
building, to cost not less than $780,
600, which is provided by the will of
W. D. Long, who recently died at his
home in Hamilton, Canada. While
this provision is not yet generally
known, it has reached the ears of The
Times. 1t is also understood that the
plan provided for the erection of the
proposed splendid edifice on the old
Long property, in the eastern part
OF Pennington, where Mr.. Long spent
many years of his life.
The main part of the building pro-
posed is to be well appointed op-

dinarily do, but instead of hot syrup,
use hot water. Fruit canned with wa
ter does not retain its shape so well
and does not have quite as good flavor
as though canned with syrup, but it
will keep as well. IS ~ dy
Berries, cherries, and other soft,
juicy fruits are successfully canned if
packed tight in the jar with no water
and processed thirty minutes.
Fruit Canned in Fruit Juice
The woman who has her own fruit
can cook part of the fruit with water,
crush, strain, and boil down the fruit
juice and use this in place of sugar
or syrup. Such canned fruit, while it
will not be as sweet as fruit canned
with sugar, will have a more desira-
BILE, fruity flavor and the sugar in the
fruit juice will help the fruit to re-
tain its shape. OF course, this is not
practical where women have to buy
expensive fruit from a city market.

MR.. GOMPERS SHOWS o.
THE PATH TO LABOR

Samuel Gompers, because of his un-
questioned patriotism, his progressive
conservatism and his high position IN
the ranks of union labor, speaks with
more weight than any representative
of American labor today. his an
nouncement that the Democratic plat
form "more nearly approxiniatess the
desired declarations of human rights
than do the planks in the Republican
platform bears stamp OF smcerlty
and will be needed by thousands Oh
American workingmen.
"I.abor of America is not partisan
to any political party. says Mr.
Gompers, but ''it is partisan to prin,,
ciples, the principles of justice ana
freedom; -. it would be palpable
dereliction of duty did we fail to place
the facts before the voters"
Mr.. Gompers' statement was con-
fined to an analysis of the platforms
of the two great rival parties. Had
he cared to go into past history he
could have cited that the Democratic
marty. under the leadership of Wood
row Wilson, established the Depart
ment of Labor and called to its head
the first practical workingman who
ever held Cabinet portfolio, estab-
lished employment bureaus to bring
the man and the job together settled
many disputes between capital and Ia
bor, passed the Child Labor act, the
Workmen's Compensation act, the
Eight Hour law, an act for vocational
training and code of other laws bet
tering the condition of the working
classes. A Weman's Bureau estab..
lished to work under supervision OF
the Department of Labor was abol-
ished by hostile Republican Congress
which refused appropriations for its
upkeep.
The record of the Democratic party
on labor in the past would be enough
to guarantee it to support union men
in the future even if its platform did
not promise needed reforms. But the
platform does, marking "a measure OF
progress not found in the platform OF
the Republican party" according to
Mr.. Gompers.

LONG SAYS THOSE WHO
ATTACK LEAGUE DO so
WITH VENOM AT HEART

Hannibal, Mo-, July 19.-Breckin-
ridge Long, speaking here tonight in
his campaign for the Democratic nom-
ination for United States Senator, de-
Tended the League of Nations and de-
clared that those who had once es-
poused such plan had turned against
it with venom in their hearts because
Of partisan hatred. No mention was
made Of Senator Reed, but the adj
dress was in answer to many of the
arguments advanced in opposition by
Senator Reed.
Long stressed article 10 in his ad-
dress, although he dealt at length
with the other objections which have
been raised. His defense of the Pres
ident's course drew frequent applause,
as did the denunciation of the oppo-
sition. Taking up article 10, he de-
clared that the covenant was simple
in purpose and unquestionable in con-
stitutionality. Referring to the OBJ
legation imposed upon each nation to
recognize the territorial rights of
others, he said it is contended that
this phraseology violates the constitu-
tion of the United States in that it is
claimed it binds this government to
wage war without authority from the
Congress.
"Mr. Knox, now Senator from Penn
sylvania, formerly Secretary of State
and formerly Attorney General, was
asked, while he was the Attorney
General of the United States, to rem
der an opinion as to whether it would
be constitutional for the United
States to enter into an agreement of
the same import with the Government
of Panama. In his capacity as the
law officer of the United States, he
rendered an opinion, in which he held
that it would be neither unconstitu-
tional nor illegal. The Government of
the United States, relying upon his
official opinion, did enter, during the
administration Of Theodore Roosevelt,
into that agreement, with the State
of Panama and ever since has been
under the obligation to guarantee its
political integrity and territorial SOW
ereignty against external aggression.
"Since that time the United States
has made similar treaties and ar
L WIN VIICI SoNCl
and they exist today, l adduce Sen
ator Knox's same argument in sup
port of article 10 and his argument,
which was an official opinion render
ed in writing and which anyone may
read, was in substance that the con-
stitution of the United States was su-
preme and that any agreement made
by the Government of the United
States was, of course, to be carried
out in conformity with the terms of
tho constitution of the United States,
and that any obligation to protect an
other nation would be carried out only
by a declaration of the Congress, for
only the Congress of the United
States can declare war and vote the
funds for war.
"Since the time of rendering his
opinion, Senator Knox has taken his
stand with those who have hatred in
their hearts, malice in their brain and
venom on their tongues and who have
reeked their vengeance against the
President of the United States in
their attempt to destroy the product
of his brain and in their bitter opposi-
ton have subordinated the interests
of their country to their own selfish
purposes"

LABOR LEADERS URGE
UNITED SUPPORT FOR
cox AND ROOSEVELT

Washington, July 18.--Plans for
bringing organized labor into still
greater activity in the political cam
paign were announced tonight by the
American Federation Of Labor
through the medium of its Executive
Committee, consisting of Samuel
Gompers, Frank Morrison and James
O'Connell.
Two series of campaign conferences
will be held throughout the country,
bringing together state and congress
sional district campaign leaders OF or
ganized labor, in an effort to perfect
their campaign organization plans.
The federation has already very
large and well-organized nonpartisan
political campaign committee, which
has been actively at work. This COM
mittee is co-ordinating the work OF
thousands of local campaign commit
tees in the states, and in congressional
districts where labor is planning to
wage it's fight for, or against, the cleo
tion of certain senatorial candidates,
as well as those who are running for
the House of Representatives.
To Support Cox Ticket.
All indications are that the full
strength of the leaders of the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor will be ex-
erted on the rank and file of work
men for the election of the Democrat
ic national ticket, headed by Gov.
James M. Cox of Ohio and Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Franklin ID.
Do.,o,,o1+ of Nauy York
A few weeks ago the federation
made public its comparative analysis
of Senator Harding's votes on those
measures in which organized labor
was interested in Congress. This an
alysis shows the federation was of the
opinion Senator Harding's votes were
unsatisfactory on a majority of the
roll calls in which organized labor
was interested.
Prefer Democratic Platform
Last Sunday night the federation
issued it's analysis of the Democratic
platform adopted at San Francisco.
That ANALYSIS showed that President
Gompars and the other national 'offi-
GERS of the federation whose names
were signed to the statement consld-
cred the Democratic platform more
progressive and satisfactory to labor
than the Republican platform: Or
ganized labor's leaning toward the
Cox-Roosevelt ticket was again en-
phasized two days ago when the Met
al Trades Council, representing the
thousands of workmen in the amalga-
mated metal trades employed In the
gun factory of the Washington navy
yard, marched with two bands to the
sNayy Department building and rye

welt gavel in congratulatior OF his
The plans announced by labor to-
night comprise the calling OF confer
ence of state executive committees
throughout the country on August 8
and also series of conferences IN
congressional districts.
No specific date is fixed for, the
first conferences in congressional dis
tricts, the only suggestion being that
a Saturday would be preferable.

Increasing Demand
for Homes Here

Several S. Louis getlemen have been
inspecting property in Pennington re-
Gently, with a view to purchasing
homes. Each and every one of such
visitors, so far as The Times has been
informed, have been abundantly pleas
ed with what they have seen and been
offered in the way of home invest
ment, and have in most cases prom
ised to return soon with their wives,
whose approval is generally desired,
before making such Investment.
The reason for this movement from
the city to the country is most appar-
ent to all who are at all familiar with
rental conditions in the city. The
landlords there appear never to be
satisfied, and continues to press down
harder and harder on the tenant. un-
til the latter has been forced to seek
relief in different ways. One of the
most satisfactory solutions appears to
be to move from the city. To all such,
who are seeking new homes, an inspec-
ton of Pennington usually makes a
strong appeal. AS a residence town
it has but few equals, and certainly
no superiors. The Times predicts
there will be an increasing demand
for homes in Pennington.
