MINE LA MOTTE is
ORDERED UNDER HAMMER.

Judge Farris of the United States
District Court has ordered the sale Of
the Mine La Motto domain consisting
of the town of Mine La Motto and the
thousands of acres of mining and agri-
cultural land in this and st. Francois
counties. The sale is ordered to be
held at the court house door at Freder-
icktown, after a notice Of four weeks
has been given of the date. Walter
N. Davis, St. Louis attorney, was ap-
pointed special moster by the Judge
Faris and the sale will be under his di-
rection.
The sale under the hammer is order
ed that claims amounting to 81 ,1S9,96O
held against the property by the En-
pire Trust Company of New York may
be satisfied.
The property will be sold subject to
first lien, mortgage bond isue of
$3.50, 900 dated may 1, 1909, and second
lien consisting of second mortgage
bond issue of August 8, 1909. The
second lien amounts now to $250,OO0,
All bidders for the property will be
required to put up cash forfeit of S25,-
900.
The general local belief is that no
further legal obstacles will be placed
in the way Of the sale, though nobody
here has been infored as to the prob
able time the sale will be ordered.lt is
also the expectation of local men who
are interested in the matter that rhe
receiver of the defunct Missouri Met
ais Corporation will now proceed tc
dispose of all the effects of the corpor-
alton not affected by the foreclosure
sale order. att

RENTER SUES LANDLORDS
FOR NOT MENDING FURNACE

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. IA Gus O..
Nations, a lawyer, living at 1924
Tamm avenue, filed suit in the Cir
cult Court yesterday for $500 against
Mary Littman and Roy Kean, from
whom he claims to have rented his
home.
Nations alleges in his suit he and
the defendants entered into an agree
ment on May 1S, 1920, whereby the
latter were to repair the furnace in
the fat before November / on the
payment of 81 by Nations. His part
of the agreement, he claims, was
kept, but the defendants failed to re-
pair the furnace and he was COM
PEELED to be without heat through 43
days of "cold and inclement weather"
His family, Nations alleges, became
sick as a result, and he was put to
numerous expenses for medicine and
lost much time in attendance upon
them. Finally, he says, he paid S3,75
to have the furnace repaired. i,

New Membership
Drive Inaugurated

At the meeting of the Pennington
Chamber of Commerce Monday night
it was decided to inaugurate drive
for new members Of that organiza-
tion, to the end of increasing its eff
ficiency for the important work that
it already has in prospect. While the
local Chamber of Commerce was or
ganized only few months ago, al
ready it has proved to be considera-
BILE asset to this city, and it is now oc-
cupied with the promotion of num-
Der Of enterprises the successful ac-
complishment of which will mean for
this city almost inestimable good and
benefit.
Thus far the Chamber has been prin-
cipally hampered from lack of men,
bers and community cooperation.
The latter can be largely accounted
for by the newness Of the organiza-
ton. In regard to the lack of num-
bcrs, that is more difficult to success
fully explain. just why any good,
progressive citizen would withhold
his membership from an organization
that is putting forth its best efforts
for the good and upbuilding of Farm
ington and community, it is not so
easy to find a suitable solution.
Some may be, and doubtless are,
waiting to see whether the organiza-
tion will survive before adding their
membership. But any such should
not overlook the fact that their men,
bership now would help just that much
toward insuring the perpetuity of that
organization. Anyone who is holding
off, waiting for the Chamber to dem
onstrate that it has been successful,
ly expect but small credit by offering
their membership then.
All that is necessary for the Cham
ber of Commerce of Pennington to
succeed most abundantly is for every
good citizen to get into the harness
and put forth their best efforts toward
sustaining the splendid efforts that or.
ganization is now putting forth tC
make this community a better anC
more prosperous place in which to live
1t was agreed at the last meeting that
each of the present members SHOULD
use their best efforts to bring in a new
member at the earliest possible time
The following new members wert
added to the roll: DR.. G. L. Watkins
G. B. Snider, F. A. Kuhn, st. Louis
Smelling & Refining Co., two mem
berships.

A Head-On
Auto Smash

About 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
two autos came to blows, just on the
outskirts of town, on the Doe Run
road. DR.. A. F. Eugas in his new
Dodge was coming into Pennington,
while Everett Bono, driving Max
well, was on his way home to Doe Run.
Mr.. Bono, wno is professional ball
playel, now With the National Lsils ac
of Boston, but at present visiting his
parents during the winter season, for
the time being lost his "batting eye",
and DR.. Eugas says his machine was
almost in the right-hand ditch when
the accident happened.
The sun, which Mr.. Bono was fac
ing, was just preparing to "turn in"
for the day, and cast a vivid crimson
radiance which was quite binding. In
fact Mr.. Bono stated that he was un-
able to see, which was the reason for
his use Of a large part of the road
way. Neither machine was running
fast at the time they came together.
DR.. Eugas says he slowed down to
perhaps five miles when he saw the
other machine headed toward him,
and he does not think the Bono car
was running to exceed ten miles per
hour. But Notwithstanding the re-
duced speed, considerable damage was
done to both cars. While neither of
the drivers sustained any personal in
jury, the damage to DR.. Eugas' car
was perhaps $50, while the Bono car
apparently was damaged considerably
more.

Christmas Tree
at State Hospital

An immense Christmas tree now
fills a part of the Assembly Hall at
State Hospital No. 4. The electrician
has artistically arranged the electric
lights throughout the tree. From this
tree, Christmas eve, will be distributed
all kinds of packages that may be re-
quested as presents to patients from
relatives and friends. The Hospital
will also distribute, among the pa
tients Christmas eve, two barrels OF
oranges and six barrels Of red apples
A special picture show program will
furnish the entertainment for the eve.

A week ago Christmas packages be-
gan to arrive for patients, from rel
atives and friends, and Indications are
that the Christmas season will bring
much pleasure to the inmates of State
Hospital No. 4.

Should Receive
Needed Assistance

Prof. w. w. Martin, Director of the
Training School of the State Normal
at Cape Girardeau, was in Pennington
last Friday on trip through this part,
of the State, in an effort to bring the
people to better understanding of
what an asset to Southeast Missouri
that institution really is, or can be
made by more general acceptance of
the privileges it offers, in building up
the citizenship of this section of the
State.
Prof. Martin says that is really a
wonderful institution, but that its en-
rollment is not nearly so large as it
should be, or would be, if its splendid
equipment for production was more
generally understood. That school is
not exclusively for the preparing of
school teachers, but is equally equip
ped for all kinds of business prepara-
tion.
While it is bit cramped just now
for rendering the best possible ser
vice, it is hoped that condition will
soon be remedied. Suitable appropria-
tions for new buildings are expected
from the next Legislature, as such
provision from the State has been de-
MED for the past several years, owing
to the States lack of money for such
needed work. But now that there is
a splendid balance of something like
$5,000,000 in the States strong box
that may be used for improving Of
State institutions, liberal allowance
is expected for the Cape Girardeau
Normal, as well as all other educa-
tional and eleemosynary institutions.

Southeast Secures
Proposed Route

M. P. Cayce, cashier Of the Bank of
Pennington, and one of our most en-
thusiastic good roads advocates, at
tended Good Roads meeting at Pop
lar Bluff Monday. He reports that
the meeting was largely attended by
good roads enthusiasts from all
Southeast Missouri, which district it
was intended that the gathering
should represent.
Ernest Reeves, secretary of the st.
Louis Auto Club, Frank w. Jerrold
ana E. w. Willett, engineers of the
National Highway Association, who
were in Pennington last week on
survey of the proposed southeast
route for the proposed highway, were
in attendance at the meeting. The
purpose of the meeting was to per-
feet plans and adopt measures for the
purpose of securing the route of the
proposed hard surface highway from
the, Great Lakes to the Gulf through
this section of the State, instead of
another proposed route through the
Western part of the State.
Greatest interest was manifested in
the proceedings by the many who
were in attendance, indicating that the
great Southeast land is awake and
alive to the enormous advantages that
would result to this section by the Sc
curing of such highway, which will
also be one Of the first of twenty
eight such highways now proposed
throughout the country.
Mr.. Cayce also brought back with
him the favorable report that Messrs.
Reeves, Jerrold and Willett were
most favorably impressed with the in
terest the meeting developed and
that they there and then decided and
announced that the proposed South
east route would receive their en-
! dorsement for the route of the pro-
posed paved way. If such recon-
merdations prove to be final in this
matter, then Pennington will be as
sured Of being either on the direct
route of this highway, or at least not
far removed from it.

Tag Day

The second annual Tag Day for the
Provident Association was decided
success. Last Saturday from 9 o'clock
in the morning until darkness fell, the
women of Pennington were out with
their boxes and their red tags, solicit
ing the money that is to take care of
the City's charity work during the
coming year. $173.84 was collected
by these earnest women, who so will
ingly lay aside their own affairs to
render service to the unfortunate.
The thanks of the community are due
them, but they feel well repaid by
the beautiful spirit in which they were
received during the whole day. The
collection last year brought US $120,
so we are assured this year of ample
funds for all charity needed.

Rapid Growth of
Order of Aztecs

The Order Of Aztecs, fraternal
benevolent association, whose Su-
preme Temple is established in Bonnc
Terre, is growing rapidly. On Mon
dav evening, Dec. 13, the Supreme
Temple officers instituted Elvins
Temple No. 8 with a membership of
forty-eight. Twenty applicants were
delayed on account of the Supreme
Medical Examiner being unable to ap-
prove the applications as rapidly as
he receives them. A special meeting
was called for Monday evening, Dec.
20. to receive the new members. The
! ladies of the Elvins Temple prepared
an excellent lunch Of sandwiches,
cake and coffee which was served IN
due form after the organization OF
the Temple was completed.
On Saturday evening, Dec. a, Lead
wood Temple No. was instituted
when ninety-three applicants were in
itiated. Upon completion of the ar
ganization of the Temple, the ladies
served most bountiful lunch to the
new members. Twenty-seven new ap-
plicants are waiting to be received
Saturday evening, Dec. Is.
The next Temple will be organized
at Frankclsy December 20, whcr
about thirty new members of the Or
der will be received.
1t is the object of the Order of AZ
tees to issue five hundred founders
policies about the middle of January
to the people of st. Francois county
so that in years to come those people
holding one of these policies will lool
upon it with pride as one of the frs
policies issued.

Kick In, But
Don't Kick

Postmaster J.. B. Smith has just
sent out notices to patrons of the
Pennington office, stating that, be-
ginning Jan. 1st, 1921, postoffice box
rent will be increased as follows:
45c boxes increased to Coo per quar-
ter.
eoc boxes increased to 75c per quar-
ter.
75c boxes increased to $1.00 per
quarter.
The following, which we take to be
an explanatory (?) note, is also en-
closed: "Fostal laws fix the price
that shall be charged, based on postal
receipts of the office. Pennington
office has increased postal receipts to
amount requiring new rate to be col
lected for boxes"
From which "explanation" it would
appear that the postal department
has become imbued with the same spir-
it that has for the past several years
been controlling other "big business.
The more money they get the more
they want. The idea that an increas-
ing business must raise the charge
for the same service is simply ridic-
uloui. What the idea is for this in
crease The Times is unable to say.
Perhaps the purpose is to cover the
deficit that occurred in that depart
ment during the last quarter. But
such shortage was not postal def
cit" at all. Instead of deficit, there
was several millions Of dollars actual
earnings in the postal rates during
that time. If the proposed increase in
the rent of postoffice boxes is to take
care of some other shortage, then that
fact should be stated, and there would
perhaps be less objection on the part
of postoffice patrons.
1t should be understood, however,
that Postmaster Smith is in no way
responsible for such increase. He is
simply carrying out his instructions
from the Postoffice Department,
which is all he can do.
