THE. FARMERS BANK

There is nothing of greater I'M
portance in the promotion OF the com.
mercial and agricultural welfare OF
any community than the possession
of first-cIass banking facilities. Farm
inpton is particularly blessed in this
respect, having within is confines three
strong and successful banking lnsti-
tutions, one Of the recognized leaders
being The Farmers Bank. 1t is Of
ficered by men whose ability and m
tegrity are without question and It's
directors are among the leading rep
rescntative business men of this sec
ton of Missouri. ,.
This bank has been in operation
since 1904 and has been a success
from its very inception. The various
financial statements issued regularly
show a most gratifying condition oi
affairs. Its deposits have swelled tt
generous figures and the volume OF
business has constantly kept pace
with the improvements in CONNER
cial. industrial and agricultural con
ditions of the county. This bank has
resources of over half million dol
lars. It's capital stock, surplus ant
undivided profs is $S7 10000. The in
stitution does a general banking bus
mess, pays 4 per cent interest OF
time deposits, and, for the convenience
Of its customers has safety deposi
/ boxes. -,
The bank owns its own banking
house, which was especially construct
ed for it's use. 1t is entirely moderl
and is equipped with the latest flr
and burglar-proof safes and vaults an
the depositors' money is otherwls
fully protected from loss through an
cause whatsoever. The officers ar

Real Winter -
Weather Here

Old King Boreas arrived here, out
of the North, the last of the week, ap-
parently prepared to stop awhile, as
he brought with him most of his win
ter trappings. With his advance,
practically all the foliage, which had
remained unusually heavy for the
season, was blasted to numbness ana
were cast to the ground, in forest
wards and streets, leaving the trees
in their forlorn winter garb. Friday
and Saturday the atmosphere was flll-
ed with falling leaves, as fore-runner
of the approach of their conqueror
King Winter. All, o
The sudden arrival of the Old Out
law King, as many are inclined to re-
gard MIN, is not altogether satisfac-
tory to many in this community
Judging from the condition of thell
fuel supply. Then, too, his adven
thus early in the season, in this latti
tude. is altogether unusual, in his fui
winter garb. 1t is to be hoped tha'
the present visit will be of short du
ration, for while it is his sweet priv
ilege to come and go as he Will, M
long continued presence is apt to be
come irksome to his subjects in par
of his domain. 1t is not desired tina
he spend so much of his time ava.
from his headquarters.

Samuel r. Maynard. of Georgia,
large holder of the stock of the Doe
Run Lead Co., this week filed a petit
ton in suit against the st. Joseph
Lead Co., in the St. Francois County
Circuit Court, the object and general
nature of which seems to be to force
the restoration of the Doe Run Lead
Co. stock to the respective persons
from whom the same was acquired.
The petition goes on to reclte that
in 1918 an alleged consolidation or
merging of the Doe Run Lead 60.
with the st. Joseph Lead Co. was eff
fected by the latter exchanging its
stock for Doe Run stock under an
agreement reached by committee or
commission formed for that purpose,
and that by voting the stock so ac-
ouired the st. Joseph Lead Co. dom
mated and controlled the directorate
of both corporations.
Mr.. Maynard, who owns 100 shares
of the Doe Run stock, the par value
of each of which is 500, never con-
sented or agreed to enter into the al
legged consolidation. This consolida
ton was subsequently decided by tht
Missouri Supreme Court to be illega
and in violation of the Constitution
and laws of this State, and further
that the st. Joseph Lead Compan!
could not as a corporation vote thu
stock of the Doe Run Lead Company
which it had acquired, in the election
of directors for the latter company

Report and Recommendations of
Recently Discharged Grand Jury

the Jail be painted; that the iron work
of the cells and facings be enameleo
and that all necessary repairs be made
SO far as funds therefor will permit,
We further recommend that there be
created under the Collectors office in
the Court House vault large enough
for a private office for the Collector;
that the roof of the Court House be en-
amined and repaired so as to stop the
leak through the court room ceiling
and that a toilet be provided for the
petit jury room.
We further recommend that anoth-
er Story be added to the Court House
in order to provide sufficient office
rooms for the officers an to make the
circuit court room large enough to ac-
comodate parties litigent, witnesses
and officers during the sessions Of the
court.
We further recommend that the
county woodworking machinery be
kept in working order all of the time
and so far as possible that it be housed
at night,
Respectfully submitted,

OPEN OFFICE in FLAT RIVER

Drs. Cronbaugh & Cronbaugh, op-
tometrists, have opened offices in tho
rooms formerly occupied by DIR. Eng.
lish over fuckers store. The rooms
have been remodeled and beautifully
and thoroughly equipped with the lat
est and most modern instruments.
A revelation test cabinet, an electri-
cally opertate ophthalmometer, retin-
oscope, ophthalmoscope, and other
electrically operated Instruments make
the office one of the most complete to
be found in any city. The instru-
ments are just as attractive in ap-
pearance as in name and along with
white enamel sterilizers and fixtures
lend to the general impressiveness of
the office.
We have for several years operated
an office successfully in Bonne Terre
and expect to have both offices open
every day in the future. We grind our
own lenses and are able to give one
day service on all lenses. The opening
of this office will add valuable as
set to Flat River and vicinity as we
will give service that is usually on
ly to be found in the large cities.
We are optometrists of education
and experience. If your eyes need at
tention, we have but this to say: re-
member that you will never have but
one pair of eyes and when you have
them examined by any one, select

Suit to Restore the Doe Run
Lead Co. to Its Former Status

as such action would be violative OF
the laws of the State.
The petition AYERS that the st.
Joseph Lead Company and its pres
ident, Clinton H. Crane of New YORK,
in 1916, realizing that they could not
legally hold and vote the stocS OF the
Doe Run Lead Co., listed on it's books,
entered into conspiracy with one
Hendon Chubb, transferring to him
1900 shares of Doe Run stock for
grossly inadequate cash consideration,
with certain conditions to be carried
out by Chubb by which the st. Jo-
seph Lead Co, would dominate and
control the directorate of the Doe
Run Lead Co. :.
Plaintiff asks that all the cited IL
legal acts connected with the at
tempted consolidation Of the two
companies be set at naught, and that
the stock acquired by the st. Joseph
Lead Co. in the illegal transaction
and transferred to Hendon Chubb be
restored to the respective persons
from whom the same was acquired;
that such restitution be made on
terms and in such manner as the
court may direct, and that an order
of court be made calling meeting OF
the lawful stockholders of the Doe
Run Lead Co., under the direction OF
the court, for the election of legal
board of directors of the Doe Run
Lead Co., and for such other business
as may properly come before the
meeting.

MILLION BALES OF COTTON
MAY GO TO GERMANY

Chicago. Nov. 16.-Cotton these
DAYS tells an interesting story. Ihe
textile industry is languishing IN the
United States, France and England,
but is reviving in Germany.
Word came from Columbia, s. g.,
last night that the American Cotton
Association is negotiating through
the state department for the sale of
| 900 900 bales of cotton to German
spinners. Earlier in the day the CEN
sns bureau showed that during Octo-
ber cotton consumption in American
mills fell to the lowest point in SIX
wears. reflection of curtailed manu-
featuring due to lack of orders by the
mills.
A total of 399,837 bales was used
bv mills in the United States in Octo-
ber. which was 100000 bales less than
used during the same month last year.
The drop for November will be great
er. for already the mills of New Eng
land are running at only 40 per cent
capacity, with prospects of curtalling
stiIl further unless orders come in.
France and England are almost IN
the same boat in regard to the textile
industry, which means clothing. From
Paris comes word that, although raw
materials have gone down an prlce
most manufacturers see their looms
idle for lack of spring orders. Ihese
are held back because jobbers have
not disposed of their winter stocks
and IN to few weeks ago most OF
them held the theory that prices and
profits would keep up for years, and
coll ot pngt nrlrp lei
alone take a loss and restock on a new
basis.
ENGLAND has large stock ks, accumu'
lated when cotton cost twice as muci
as today and when wool was Wortr
something on the market. Manches
ter reports that customers abroad
who take three -fourths of the produc
tion. know the market is falling ant
are holding back until prices come t.
roost. Holders, on the other hand
saw when buying starts again price
will stiffen, and few of them hav
been closing out the high priced stut
at forced values,
It's "freeze out" game that !
stirring loud complaint, for 1t cause
business slackness and unemployment
and delays rcadjustment. -,
Berlin reports the German textil
business improving. Some splnnln
mills and weaving shops are agar
working full time. The improvement
is attributed to the purchase of wiz
ter supplies, coming reduction
the export levy, and above all, to tn
great depreciation of the Germa
mark. which facilitates exports. Th
great drop in exchange makes
hard for Germany to buy raw. matel
ials, but on the other hand, when
comes to selling the manufacture
product, it gives the foreign buy'
an inducement to purchase.
American exports are discoverlr
this for instance in Argentina, whel
the exchange rate is enabling Brl
ish and German exporters to get bu
mess which had been placed in Anne
ican order books before Argentine e
change took a drop.

have as many advances been made IN
the last decade as in the construction
of the automobile. From a joke to
a necessity and from the most ex-
pensive and impractical the most &C.
onomical means of locomotion ana
TRANSPORTATION, are only a start in its
upward course. 1t is indeed the steed
of the Twentieth Century, combinlns
the power Of the locomotive and the
durability of the farm wagon. Ihere
are several we'll known cars sold IN
St. Francois county and standing at
the very head Of the list among the
leading concerns engaged in this line
is the Lang Motor Company.
They are distributors OF three, cars
of three distinct classes-each a
leader in its class: the Hudson, Essex
and Chevrolet. The Hudson has been
on the market for years, with i'm
provements each year and each mod
ell at its respective year has been one
of the best cars sold. The Essex
the Hudson's "little BROTHER" has not
been on the market so long, but nc
car, perhaps, has ever made such rap.
id strides in popularity as it has anc
it is now leader of medium priced
cars.
The Chevrolet is cheaper car anc
widely used throughout the country
In its place it is unequalled.
