Basket Ball for
Orphanage Benefit

A series of basket ball games have
been arranged to start at once be-
tween eighteen different teams in this
locality, the opening game of which
was played in Flat River Wednesday
evening. The best talent to be Sc
cured will participate in these games,
the winner of the championship to Sc
cure a gold cup.
Pennington enthusiasts have Sc
cured an exceptionally fine team for
competition in this contest, for which
the best players of this city and COM
munity have been rounded up and will
participate. 1t would seem that Farm
ington has an excellent chance of win
ming the championship cup in this con-
test, and the public can do much to
cheer them on by giving liberal pat
ronage to the games. The first game
to be played here in this series will
be next Monday, between Flat River
and the local team.
The local team has agreed to give
their entire part of the proceeds from
these games to the 0rphanage of this
city, a most worthy provision. The
first game was played Wednesday
night at Flat River, between Bonne
Terre and the local team, resulting in
victory for Pennington by score of
35 to 4. q.

Electric Shoe
Hospital Here

F. A. Kuhn, high-class young gen
tleman, and a practical shoe maker,
with many years of valuable expert
ence, has opened in the St. Francois
hotel building an Electric Shoe Hos
pital, where he is fully equipped with
all kinds of the latest machinery and
material for operating on old shoes
and renewing their life. With the
present exhorbitant prices of shoes,
the Importance to our people of this
enterprise can hardly be overestimat-
ed. Any ordinary pair Of old shoes,
that would usually be cast aside, can
be re-made and put in condition there
for much good service, at only
fraction of the cost that Il new pair.
In fact this enterprise is just what
is needed in order to reduce the high
cost of living, and the proprietor, Mr..
Kuhn, will be found to be just the
man to have charge Of such an estab-
lishment, being enterprising, coarte-
Gus and ready at all times to give
customers fair and square deal. He
selected Pennington as his home not
only because he is impressed with the
city and its people, but also for the
reason of the apparent need of this
community for just such an enter
prise as he is conducting.
For the past twelve years his en-
tire time has been devoted to shoe
making and to studying the shoe
needs of the people, and trial order
with him will convince anyone that
he is thoroughly acquainted with his
business He is not only an expert in
his line of work, but he is live,
wide-awake booster for his home town,
and he has selected Pennington as the
place that more nearly approaches
the ideal than any other he has been
able to find. The Times hopes and be-
lieves that Mr.. Kuhn will be received
heartily, and that our people will give
him fair business test. If this is
done, then there is no doubt that an
other strong business will be built up
here, and that this community will be
large gamer thereby.

What Does This Years
Tax Receipt Mean to You +?

fair property valuation on their
holdings in this county. Since prop
erty must bear the burden of taxa
tion, is there any degree of justice in
giving the large property owner q
lower valuation on property than the
small property owner? Common
sense again answers "No."
AS The Times has repeatedly stat
ed in the past, it would appear to the
average good citizen that property
bearing the largest percentage of
profits to its owners should bear even
an additional part of taxation, and
who is there who is prepared to say
that the great lead mines Of this coun-
ty are not the producers of the larg-
est profits of any property in this
county. Not only that, but they are
constantly draining the county of her
abundant supply of natural wealth,
which in time will result in leaving
the county an absolute pauper insofar
as her mineral wealth is concerned.
Then what is the need of Splitting
hairs" when it comes to assessing
such property.
Viewed from any logical stand
point, it wousssaa,aappear unjust or
unfair if such property should be COM
PEELED to pay even a higher rate Of
assessment than farm and other prop
erty which, as a general thing is
constantly adding to the assessed val
uation of the property of the county.
But what the taxpayers of the coun-
ty want, and what they must demand,
il steps are not soon taken to correct
this long-standing injustice. is abso-
lutte fairness in assessment of the
great mining corporations of this
county. Such property should be as
sessed at least as high as that of
farms and other property.
During the past few years the min
ing corporations have taken millions
of dollars of profits out of this coun-
ty. Surely they could find no valid
reason for refusing to leave with the
county a small per centage of such
profits for the privileges they are en-
joying. But even though they should
object to a Square deal", then they
should be compelled to do the right
thing. They have had their heels on
the neck of this county all the many
years the mines have been operating
here, and they will not willingly re-
lease their strangle hold. But when
they are compelled-and compelled
they must be now to do the proper
thing IN this county-the operators
will have more respect for the county
administration than they ever have
had In ne past. =

80 =
Have you paid your taxes this year!
| II so, you have doubtless been sur
prised at the increase of such taxes,
which has caused you to wonder why
such a pronounced increase should
have been necessary. Is it because
you are receiving any additional pro-
lection of life, liberty and happiness.
Reason tells you that such is not the
case. Then, and the question seems
to be perfectly proper and legitimate,
why should there be such pronounc-
ed increase in the amount of taxes
that is assessed against you, even
though the property assessed may be
no greater than in former years.
While the taxes in St. Francois
county nave formerly been excessive
ly low, they have also been sufficient
to pay the cost of government, state,
county and local. Therefore it is diff
ficult to find the correct solution for
the apparent heavy increase in the
tax rate, insofar as the small proper
ty owner is concerned. There has
been about a 80 per cent increase in
school taxes, for the purpose Of rails
ing more funds for the proper conduct
of public schools, and such increase
will generally be acknowledged as
right and proper, as the salaries Of
school teachers has had to be very
