S. E. Editors Have
Splendid Meeting

The annual meeting of the South
east Missouri Press Association was
held at Caruthersville last Friday and
Saturday, July 9th and 10th. The
meeting proved to be the most large
ly attended and perhaps the most
interesting and successful gathering
since the organization of newspaper
men in this part of the State.
Thanks are due in large measure
for the splendid success of the meet
ing to the enterprising inhabitants Of
Charlottesville, who showered on the
visitors every possible attention. The
many favors bestowed impressed ev-
cry visitor that that thriving little
city is composed of many of the best
people on earth, just the kind that is
necessary to cause any place to forge
to the front.
The Times has no time for an ex-
tended mention of the meeting and
entertainments accorded the newspa-
per men and women on their annual
outing, but we must say that never
before were visitors more royalty
treated. Among the special enter
tainments given was a banquet that
was really exceptional in it's service
and arrangement, with everything
that was good to eat, excellent musi-
cal numbers and speeches that kept
the banqueters wide awake until an
early morning hour. There was also
a ball game and an automobile trip
through Pemiscot county.
The automobile trip brought to light
many wonderful accomplishments that
had been brought out in that county
within the past few years. Where
were formerly unbroken Businesses of
swamp lands is now splendid farms in
high state of cultivation. The wonders
that have there been wrought are tru-
ly remarkable. Immense bodies of
what was formerly waste land has
been reclaimed and converted into
garden spots, where it is said crop
failures are unknown.
Many thanks are due from the edi-
torial party for the splendid success
of this years meeting to the splen-
did team work of the Charlottesville
editors. In fact unusual team work is
everywhere noticeable throughout the
various industries of thriving Caruth-
ersville. Organized effort has done
wonders in the building up of Ca
ruthersville and Pemiscot county.
Another evidence of the unusual
success of this years meeting is the
fact that The Times editor was elect
ed president of the association for the
ensuing year. What!

URGES ALL TO
VOTE FOR ROAD
BONDING ISSUE
way Bonds" Rubber Stamps on
All Correspondence.

George b. Stone. a member o. the
American society of civil engineers.
and connected with the engineering
department of the Portland Cement
associations office in Salt Lake City.
was in Filler Thursday and Friday.
Mr.. Stone discussed the proposed
referendum on the S2.000.000 road
bond issue voted by the last legisia
ture and on which the referendum
vote viii be taken at the general
election in November.
He believes that this bond issue
will do much toward placing Idaho
on the map OF thousands OF tourists
who seek the places where the roads
are best. This bond issue, he be
lieyes, will practically complete the
road building program now begun
by the department OF public high
ways.
Because OF the necessity OF having
4 majority OF all votes cast TO pass a
measure on the referendum vote. Mr.
stone is fearful that this measure
might be lost, as every voter who
fails to vote practically casts vote
against the measure.
In Twin Falls, business men are
realizing the importance of this
measure and every business house
expects TO stamp its outgoing mail
Vote for the Highway Bonds, No
vember 2, 1920" In order to Inn
press on the minds OF the voters the
necessity OF not forgetting the bond
ssue. Mr.. Stone said.
While here Mr.. Stone talked TO
the board OF directors OF the Com
mercial club regarding the advisable
ity OF appointing a committee here
to further the interests of &c bond
issue. IL is likely that the club viii
take some action on the matter at It's
meeting Friday night.

POPULATION OF
Filler EXCEEDS
ONE THOUSAND

Filler has a population OF over
1000.
This Is not the announcement
OF the census bureau at Wash
ington, for that department has
already been working on the
figures for eight months. and
have not yet been able to arrive
at a satisfactory result, but the
one thousand and over figure
was arrived at by ". A. Doyel,
superintendent of the Filler
grade schools. in a recent cen
sus OF the village and school
district.
His figure on Filer's popula-
ton. TO be exact, is LOIS; and
this Is not guess work, either.
In taking the school census this
summer. Mr.. Doyel had occasion
to visit every home in the dis
trict. He kept the Figures OF
those residing within the incor-
pOrate limits OF the town and
found that a total of $50 per-
nanent residents made their
abode in Filler. To. this figure
he added rs. TO include tran
sients. unmarried men with no
fixed place of abode. those whose
names he missed and absentees.
IL is known that his figures
Of l.O15 Is most conservative,
and when the census returns fin
ally come I'm from Washington
IL is expected that the govern
menf's count will greatly ex-
coed that OF the school enumer-
atOr.
II such Is the case. Filler will
be eligible to incorporate as a
city. and Will be entitled to ali
the 4benefits obtainable under
such a regime.
At any rate. the towns popu-
lation has been pretty well es-
tablished. From a population

growth has been steady and
sure and IL Will continue to
grow in the same proportion.
II was ascertained in the cen
sus taken by Mr.. Doyel that

trict between the ages OF six and
twenty-one. Between the ages

sorry school age. $50 names are
