THE FIGHT FOR So WHEAT

Representatives of the organized
farmers of Kansas, Nebraska, Okla
homa and Missouri met in a two day
conference in Kansas City on Septem-
Der I3 and IA and issued ringing
appeal to every farmer who had not
vet sold his wheat to hold the same

reaches So per bushel on No 2 wheat
and this appeal is made not only to
the farmers of the above states but to
those of every other wheat producing
state in the Union. On the basis of the
last 10 years yield the Executive Com
mitee estimates that. 1t cost S2-77 per
bushel to produce the 1920 crop and

Committee regards the recent smash

leaders of the organized farmers be-
Iieve that if the spectators succeed
in stealing the wheat crop they will
begin similar raid almost immed-
lately on corn, hogs and cattle There

of dollars involved in the wheat situ-

OF Interest to FARMERS

Committee gaYe out the following
statement: tfThe effort to steal the
1920 wheat crop Is an infany made
possible only through the resumption
of dealing in futures on the various
Boards of Trade The u s. and Can
ada are the only countries in the
world that have a real surplus of good
wheat to seII-and If Europe buys
every bushel we can spare she viii
still be more than 100, 900, 900 bushels
short. What the spectators intend to
do is to first force US to sell our wheat
for about half what it is worth-and
then to make a similar raid against
corn, hogs and cattle in order, as they
are already beginning to say, ssto
bring them into line with wheat .

talked about 75c per bushel for the

the worst licking they ever got in

same is true at practically all other

The Times Has
Been "StunS'

The damage suit of Mrs. Mamie r
White, proprietor of the Commercial
hotel at Fredericktown, against The
Pennington Times, for alleged SLAM
der, was tried before a jury Tuesday
in the st. Francois county circuit
court. The suit was for $4,000 dam
ages, and the jury returned 4 iudg-
ment for 5000.
This judgment will be added to the
already enormous cost Of producing
a newspaper, and this paper will at
tempt to struggle on, giving all the
news that is fit to print, even though
it may be little more careful about
shouldering the troubles of others,
which may result in causing the bur-
den to be too heavy for white man
to carry.
The result of that case has convinc-
ed The Times management that in
stead of there being any freedom of
the press" the press in reality is now
sadly handicapped and hedged about,
so that it is liable to strike damag-
ing snag when least expected, no mat
ter how careful pilot is in charge of
the craft. We live to learn, and learn
ing, linger on.

Installation
of Officers

St. Francois Lodge No. 234, A. F
& A, NJ, at Libertyville, installed Of
ficers for the ensuing year at the reg
ular monthly meeting Saturday after
noon, as follows:
W. M.--Dr. G. B. Perkins.
s. W.-George Hersinger.
J. VIC. L. Snyder
Secretary-Perry Cashion.
Treasurer-E. o. Presnell.
Work in that lodge has recently
been increasing most noticeably,
largely due to improved and intelli-
gent work. Two candidates for the
Fellowcraft degree were initiated at
Saturdays meeting, which was large
ly attended by visitors from Farm
ington, and the gathering was most
profitable and enjoyable for all.
st. Francois Lodge No. 234 is some
what unusual, we believe, in the fact
that it meets in the afternoon, in
stead Of in the evening, and for this
reason it usually has quite number
of visitors, who are always pleased to
gather with the splendid and hospita-
BILE Masons of that lodge.

from the legal tangle it had gotten

tive development will proceed in get

V. M. Lavery as superintendent is
in active control of mining operations
He is pleasing and accommodating
gentleman, an expert miner who
thoroughly understands the game. He
said that all former operation of
those mines indicated great lack of
mining knowledge; that as rule the
surface had only been scratched ov-
er. He gave it as his opinion that
there was still an abundance of the
richest possible iron ore still there
only waiting to be taken out and
transported to market.
Mr.. Lavery figures that within less
than two years time they will have
regularly employed in the Iron Noun
tain mines in excess of 300 miners
which will mean the rehabilitation OF

tain. Such number of miners will
mean a town of 1900 or more souls
The hotel building is being remodeled
and improved for use as a mess house
for the mining staff. An extensive
building plan, for the purpose of pro,
viding homes for the miners, is also
being planned, work on which will
soon be begun.
a small house in the hotel yard is
now serving as a temporary office
but large and well equipped office
quarters will soon be ready for oc-
cupancy nearer the mines, which will
serve as the company's headquarters,
being their only office. There seems
to be small doubt that when the pres
ent owners of this great property
get things running right it will not
only be great asset to St. Francois
county and to miners and workmen,
but that it will prove to be wonder
fully rich holding to the owners, as
the rich deposits Of iron ore there
have evidently been little more than
touched, though millions Of profit
have already been extracted from
them.

Fine AirdO1fle
at Flat River

G.. C. Horn and several associates
have just opened up in Flat River
one Of the best equipped and up-to-
date airdomes to be found in South
east Missouri, of which Mr.. Horn is
in charge. This splendid place of
amusement was opened Monday eve-
ming, when about 1000 people wit
messed the splendid performance.
About 800 were in attendance Tues
day night, all of whom greatly en-
joyed the splendid entertainment
given.
A contract has been perfected for
receiving the latest and best pictures
on the market, and all those who are
acquainted with Mr.. Horn are conf
dent that this new amusement resort
will have a constantly, increasing
clientele of friends and patrons, as
the management will see we'll to it
that patrons are given the best pro-
grams and treatment possible.
Ice cream and soft drinks are served
throughout the audience. Another
feature that has been installed, and
which will be carefully attended to,
is a,parking place for cars, where the
owners may feel absolutely sure of
finding their cars intact when they
desire them. This feature alone is
probably sufficient to insure the sue
cess of this enterprise.

railway, which is owned by the same
company.
The Times feels that it does know,
however, that the abandonment of
that line would be long backward
step from the best interests of Farm
ington and the entire community. In
fact it would mean nothing but disas-
ter--the cutting off Of this community
from railroad connections. What
such a thing would mean to every in
stitution and interest in this commun-
ity can, in a measure at least, be ap-
preciated by every business interest.
To such institutions as State Hospi-
tai No. A, and all shipping and busi-
nees interests such a course would
mean real catastrophe.
Therefore it is up to our citizens to
make a move that will forestall any
such a consummation. 1t was COM
pany of local citizens that built the
electric railway, and it should not re-
quire as great an effort for another
such organization of capital to take
this road over, for the good of this
community, While its operation
would perhaps mean no great pro-
fits, with competent management it
would certainly prove to be self-sus-
tanning, Anyway, the abandonment of
this line would be an insutferable
blow to this community--one that can
no be tolerated by the good citizens
of falmirgton.
But this is no time for "stalling."
The great need row is for ACTION.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-06-11
The Citizens Of Pennington Must
Now Get Busy--No "Stalling" Goes

Information came to The Times
some time ago that the electric rail-
way connecting Pennington with Flat
River and DeLassus was likely to be
soon abandoned by its owners, the st.
Joe Lead Co. Such intelligence COM
ing only as rumor, but little Gre
dence was given to it at the time. But
now more direct evidence has reached
us that this very thing is likely to
occur, and that soon.
For the purpose of getting the best
information on this matter, E. A,
Rozier, attorney for the St. Joseph
Lead Co., was called up and the
question asked him whether or not
he had any information to give out
on the subject. He stated that at this
time he had no statement to make,
except to say that the owners are not
satisfied with the present manage
ment of the electric line; that on July
list, next, the interest on the bonds
of such line would become due, and
he thought that it was time for the
citizens of Pennington to "get busy"
if they desired that line to be kept in
operation.
Just why the owners of that line are
dissatisfied with the present opera
ton of the road, The Times is unable
to say. Neither do we understand
how any other owners could operate it
more advantageously than can the
present owners, as it is certainly a
splendid feeder for the NJ. r. q B. T.

Lower Court
Sustained

Several years ago Robert Holmes
purchased, at public sale, at the
Court House in st. Louis, Mo-, several
shares of the Doe Run Lead Company
capital stock. The Company, by its
secretary, refused to transfer this
stock to Mr.. Holmes, and thereupon
he brought mandamus suit against
the company to compel this transfer;
the case was tried in the St. Francois
County Circuit Court and resulted in
a decree directing the company to
make the transfer of the stock to Mr..
Holmes. The company appealed to
the st. Louis Court of Appeals; the
case was argued last spring, and this
week the Court of Appeals handed
down the opinion sustaining Mr..
Holmes in every particular.
