Presidential Candidates Keeping Fondness for

An Art Connoisseur-Lots of

Is golf "undemocratic? The word
has been passed around that both
Senator Harding and Gov. Cox want
their fondness for the royal and

War Names Popular.

nomenclature reminiscent of Ameri-
can deeds in the great war. Ar

addition. Apartment houses built

sciatica, and he Is experiencing
considerable discomfort from it this

Bell Wins Praise.
Edward Bell, acting American
Ambassador at Tokyo during the
absence in the United States OF Am
bassador Roland S. Morris, is the
recipient of high praise for his sa-
gacious handling of the incident IN
which our military attache at To-
kyo, Col. Burnett, recently inquired
Col. Burnett was handsomely clear
ed of the charges preferred against
him by the Japanese military au-
thoritieS. They were shown TO be
wholly without foundation and
thanks to Mr.. Bells diplomacy, the
incident was closed with good feel
ing all around. MT. Bell was Inc
right-hand man of Ambassadors
Page and Davis at the London EN-
bassy throughout the war. He has
been in Japan only few months.
Lid on Russian News.
Diplomatists and others in Wash
ington interested in foreign affairs
remark the continuous absence of
any thoroughly reliable and Impair
tial news of Russia from within.
Barring Red wireless" from Mos
COW and news seHt to the United
States from non-Russian capitals,
little or nothing reaches the Amer
lean public. AS evidence of the
complete breakdown of the most or
dinary channels of Information. the
experience of a young Russian ma
val officer now domiciled in New
York, Capt. Makaroff. is a case in
point. He was attached to Admiral
Kolchak when that ill-starred sailor
was. guest of the American navy
a year ago, and returned with the
admiral to Siberia. but even though
Makaroff. penetrated westward as
far as Irkutsk, he could not get
into touch with his mother The
captain is a son of the famous Rus
sian admiral who went down with
the battleship Petropavlovsk in the
war with Japan.

between the school children Of
Europe and this country. Now he

Times RevenEes.

In 1918 a hitherto comparatively
unknown golfer. Francis OuimeL Of
Brookline. Mass. defeated the vet
eran British players. Edward Ray
and Harry Vardon. and at once he
became an international celebrity in
the field OF sport. These British
players again visiting US have just
had the satisfaction OF trimming
the Woodland amateur. though Ray
admits that Ouimet was not in his
best form the day that an enormous
gallery" watched the contest
Ouimet has the temperament and
technique Of a brilliant but not al
together dependable player.

Browsing Round in
Politics
By LABERT ST. CLAIR.

Frank Willis, who has ambitions
TO succeed Senator Harding in the
Senate, is generally regarded by
politicians as having one Of the
most wonderful speaking voices OF
any man in public life. He used TO
be a college professor and on warm
summer days when the windows of
Willis class room were open. his
vocal efforts used to disturb the af-
ternoon siestas of farm hands miles
in the country from the seat of
learning.
The country having decided not
to put Mitch Palmer at work run
ming for the Presidency. he has some
time these days to spin a few yarns
about his experiences while cam
Daigning for the nomination which
he did not get.
On one occasion Palmer was
speaking from a depot platform
he saw his train approaching.
My friends" he said. my train
is approaching. I shall have to
leave you now"
Go en-! Go on" the crowd
shouted.
Palmer stil1 is pondering as 10
whether his auditors meant for him
to continue with his speech or to
catch the train and go on out OF
town. He caught the train.
George Edmunds. who has charge
of the senatorial campaign for the
Republicans this year. is being
bombarded with requests for jobs
from spellbinders. One would think
from the amount of mail that
reaches this office that there is not
a Chautauqua running in the coun-
try and that the correspondence
schools are turning out a million
orators a month.
You had better sign me by
wire" one speaker wrote George,
the other day. I'm a double-ac-
.tion talker. being either a Demo
.crat or q Republicans The Demo-
Gratis are trying hard to ge me, but
if you have the money you can land
me by hurrying."
This orator. it might be added
will not be heard from the Repub-
lican stump this year.

HOME DEMONSTRATION NOTES.
Hot School Lunches Begun in Three
Rural Schools.

independence school has the distinC-
ton Of being the first rural school in
the county to have hot school lunch.
The lunch was begun on Monday, No
vember 22d. The Home DcmonStra-
ton Agent and tire teacher, Miss Jess
aline Counts, with the cooperation of
the school patrons, secured an oil
stove, and the necessary utensils with
which to work.
Copenhagen school, with Miss May
Meyers as teacher, followed Independ-
encc as close second in putting in the
hot school lunch. 1t was started there
Tuccday, November 23d. Tho patrons
of that district gave splendid cooper
alton in donating practically all the
utensils. That was big thing to do
for the school is large and many
things were needed.
At Unity, the hot school lunch was
begun Wednesday, December LIST. Miss
Elise Rickus is teacher there and is do
ing good work with the lunch.
All of tie lunches are run on the
same plan. One hot dish is served
each day. In most cases, cocoa, or
soup, are served, with creamed ,vege-
tables now and then for greater vare-
ty. All materials are given by the
children, each one taking his turn in
bringing milk or vegetables.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-12-10

TIE children are, for the most part.
very enthusiastic about the work and
relieve the teacher almost entirely.
Stress is laid upon table etiquette.
llSch child sits IN his own seat; nap
kins are passed, and lunch boxes
brought to each one by monitors APP
pointed for the work. A line is form
ed and each one takes his plate or cup,
gets it filled and passes to his seat in
an orderly manner. Lunch is not eat
en- until everyone is served, and no one
leaves his seat until all are through
eating. Then, desks are brushed off
and dishes returned to the table"
Independence, Copenhagen and I'm
ity are the only three rural schools in
the county that have taken up hot
school lunch work. At present it is
progressing very nicely. 1t should
work out here as well cs any place in
the State. Last year seventy-fve hot
school lunches We're statred by Home
Demonstration Agents in the rural
schools throughout the State and not
a single one was discontinued this
year. Surely that is proof that there
is sorne benefit to be derived from
them.

NOTES FROM LINCOLN COUNTY

If any st. Francois county-ite finds
himself in the last stage Of American
tits, let him come to Lincoln county.
No one but "school marms" work
up here. The women visit either over
the phone or by all day or afternoon
calls. The men hunt or fish, which
ever season is on.
The wheat crop was put in some
way but no one seemed to work at it
very hard.
Everyone is taken tc every one else
and the men take turn about going to
Cousin So and Sos and going on a
nocturnal hunt.
We can always tell what kind of
success they have by the fragrant
perfume that heralds their approach
with the captured skunks and pos
sums, long before the hunters them
selves appear.
1t is entertaining, to say the least,
to sit at the table next morning, or for
many meals thereafter, with these
men in their hunting costumes.
With relief | grasp my books and
lunch basket and start for school only
to be greeted by the same odoriferous
perfume as the junior hunters arrive.
The 'possums and skunks are pinned
and fattened before killing, as the
captors say the furs are much i'm
proved by this method. They are then
carefully prepared for the st. Louis
mari :.
The people go to church in automo-
biles and seem to be as prosperous
generally as farmers in any communi-
ty.
The rural school work is not what
it should be from lack Of teachers and
the inability to get the required text
books. So far. have seen no modern
rural school buildings.
Country churches splitting doctrin-
al hairs in disputes and alternating
more members than they gain.

FARMERS SHOULD SELL
THEIR PRODUCTS SLOWLY

The advice given by Mr.. Mckay,
Deputy Governor of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Chicago, in Bank
ers-Farmers meeting in Iowa last
week, that farmers should sell their
products and liouidate their indebted
ness is not well taken by the farm
ers of the United States.
Farmers, according to the idea of
Prof Gehrs of the Teachers College,
should not now dump their hogs, corn,
ETC., upon the market, especially is
this true for live stock which is not
we'll finished. Feed the low-priced
corn and make the best of it by get
ting the best price possible for the
animals you sell, and it seldom pays
to sell unfinished animals for slaugh-
ter Rather sell them as stockers.
1t is quite possible that most farm
ers can afford to hold their small un-
finished hogs until we'll past the mid
die of January, for it is believed that
hog prices will strike higher aver
age at that time. 1t is sounder and
better economic policy for the banks
to extend credit to farmers than it is
to extend it to spectators.
. OF course, everything is on the to-
baggan and merchants, bankers, farm
ers and laborers must take losses;
yet the farmers are hardest hit, but
they can in large measure protect
themselves by selling their product
we'll finished and avoid dumping upon
the market poor quality products.
The ideal way to market farm pro-
ducts is to let one fifty-second Of the
farm products go upon the market
weekly. Well finished quality stuff
yields the best returns. This is ideal.
To carry out this ideal means coop
| erative marketing.

ut Springfield was the forerunner.
There is sure to be some twisting and
turning to dodge responsibility for
the failure of the State Highway De-
partment during the Gardner admin
istration, but the public will not over
look the fact that the State Highway
Board has been controlled by Repub-
leans ever since the enactment of the
Mccullough Morgan law. Commits

Supt. Malang are all Republicans. II
