FREE CAMP GROUND IS
SECURED BY CITY FOR
USE OF AUTO TOURISTS

Camp grounds for use of sum-
mer tourists have been secured by
City Manager Gladding through a
contract closed yesterday with A.
o. Bachechi for the use of vacant
lots at the northeast corner Of
Second street and Tijeras avenue.
These grounds were formerly kept
by the city for use of motor tour
lists until late last summer when
Mr.. Bachechi took them over and
established a private camp ground.
The grounds will require only
small improvements, being now
equipped with ample water, toilet
and bath facilities and are especi-
ally desirable because of their CEN
trail location and the small rental
for which they were obtained.

Warning to Ex-
Service Men

A warning cautioning former sol
diers, sailors and marines against
profiteering lawyers who exact eX.
horbitant fees from the poor and ig-
norant for legal services of trifling
character in connection with the filing
of claims against the Government was
received yesterday by the st. Fran
co.'s Chapter of the Red Cross from
Southwestern Divisional Hcadquar-
ters of the Red Cross at St. Louis.
at has come to the attention of the
Red Cross" a Home Service official
said, that among a certain class of
attorneys, formerly known as ambu-
lance chasers, a practice has grown up
of charging fees ranging from SlOO to
$3.50 for filing compensation claims
of former soldiers against the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance. Naturally the
only ones taken in by these sharpers
are people Of the poorer classes who
are vastly gnfamiliar with legal for
malities.
"a case in point is to be found in
| the illustration concerning soldier
whose claim, amounting to $1,000, had
been granted, but who had been ad-
judged mentally incapable. 1t was
necessary that a guardian be appoint
ed. The family went to lawyer. He
told them the court costs would
amount to about $50 which was cor
rect. But then on top of that he ex-
acted two more payments of $50 and
third of $25 for legal charges. The
family was compelled to go out and
borrow all this money which they paid
for at usurious rates of interest.
When they refused further payment
the attorney notified them that it was
all off'-their claim had been disal-
lowed. At this point they communi-
Gated with the Red Cross and matters
finally were Strengthened out satisfac-
torily.
"Now it is only fair that attorneys
who handle such claims should be re-
imbursed to some extent for their
time and trouble. Court costs in such
cases do amount to about $50. Many
people are unable to raise even that
small amount and have to apply to
the Red Cross for loan until their
claim is paid If persons who are
about to press such claims will apply
to the home service section of their
local Red Cross chapter they will be
directed to competent attorneys of
known integrity who will prosecute
their claims expeditionsly at just ana
equitable charges.

MUSICAL PROGRAM WAS
AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

The musical program given in the
High School auditorium last Friday
night was an enjoyable affair. The
auditorium was fairly we'll filled and
all those in attendance seemed to
thoroughly enjoy the program. The
music was furnished by the H. S. Or
chestra and Glee Club, by Mildred
Graves, who sang a vocal solo; Bar
bara Caroline Tullock, violinist; Hell
en- Karsch, who rendered a piano So
10, and by VIM. Shaw, saxaphonist.
Both the Orchestra and the Glee
Club, which are under the direction of
DR.. John B. Graves and Rev. r. S.
Boyd, respectively, rendered several
excellent selections and their rendition
Of their numbers brought praise both
upon themselves and their directors.
Both are organizations to be proud of.
One thing that was evidenced by
last Friday nights program was that
Pennington has some very creditable
musical talent in the High School and
grades-talent that the town should,
and is, proud Of. We feel no fear
whatever in asserting that Farming
ton High School has as good, If not
better, musical talent than any High
School in this section Of the state.

Wholesale Robbery
of Golf Mer. Co.

One of the Golf Mercantile Co. stores
at Desloge was broken into Sunday
night and goods to the estimated
amount of $4,000 were stolen. The
robber, or robbers, effected an entrance
to the store building through a ven
tilator window in the cellar, and indi-
cations are that the work was per-
formed by someone who had knowl-
edge Of the place.
The robbers also proved to be very
discriminating in their selection of
goods, taking only the most expensive
fabrics, consisting principally Of silks,
a large stock of which had just been
received. Some had not been
unpacked. The entire booty, while
quite large in amount, possibly made
very little bulk, and was perhaps put
into two gunny sacks, as a sack Of
coffee and sack of vegetables had
been emptied, probably to get the
sacks into which the silks were put.
after which they were placed in an
automobile.
1t was only a few months ago that
the other Golf store in Desloge was
raided by burglars. and large amount
of goods carried away. The perpetra-
tors of that crime have never been ap-
pretended, and if there is any clue as
to who committed Sunday nights rob-
berry, it is not generally known, though
every effort is being put Forth to run
down the criminals, and the general
sentiment there is that they will be
apprehended.

. Condition to
Be Corrected

The lamentable manner of handling
passengers to Pennington at Flat
River, of which The Times has here
tofore spoken, continues in the same
crude manner as it always has. In
stead of the M. R. & B. T. railroad
trying to accommodate its patrons at
that point, where passengers for this
city must transfer to the electric car,
they still persist in adding hardship
to such passengers by compelling
them to get off their trains on the
wrong side to catch the electric, thus
forcing them to walk entirely around
their trains of several coaches in or
der to be permitted to complete their
journey.
As matter of fact, simply by open
ing the train doors on the other side
passengers would then be permitted to
step off and get on the electric car
without the long and tiresome walk
around the trains, through chat that
makes walking difficult. To vigor-
GUS person, travelling alone, with lit
tie baggage, such task may hardly
be noticed. But to old and infirm per-
sons, or those hampered with children
or baggage, such task is really a
hardship. Then, too, when those la
boring under such handicaps do final
ly complete such altogether unneces-
sary journey, they usually find every
seat in the electric car occupied, so
that their securing seat depends en-
tirely on the feelings of those who
may already be seated--in other
words, their lost and undone condi-
tion must be such as to make an ap-
peal to the sympathy of other passen-
gers, who also have paid their fare
and should be entitled to seats, before
they can expect even minimum
amount of comfort, no matter how
travel-weary they may be.
Is it not about time that the gen.
eral public should receive at least a
small share of consideration If they
will not do it willingly, then the Of
ficials of the M. r. & B. T. Railway
Co. should be compelled to exercise
at least slight degree of accommo-
dation to passengers on its usually
overcrowded passenger cars.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-03-26

1t is with genuine regret that The
Times notes Jerry B. Burks and DR..
A. o. Smith are the two, retiring
members of the Pennington. School
Board. Regret is caused in this mat
ter by the. decision of both these gen.
tlemen not to again submit their
names for these positions. They have
both made good in the discharge of
the important duties of that position,
and their places will be difficult to
fill, as places on that board should be
filled by intelligent, observing and ca
pable men, who have deep interest
in shcool matters. It has been sug-
gestcd that one, or beth, of these plac-
es should be filled by women, and The
Times believes the suggestion is a
good one, as one or more good busi-
ness women could hardly help but i'm
prove the efficiency of the Board Of
Education. The law provides, how
ever, that such candidates must hold
a personal tax receipt Of within the
past year. Do you wish to give them
q trial? If SO, is there one or more
duly qualified women who. can be
drafted for these positions !?

WHY NOT HAVE
FREE DELIVERY?

Mr.. Smith, our genial postmaster,
said some time ago we had reached the
mark that gave US the privilege of
having free delivery.
Won't some of our public spirited
citizens get busy and put this thing
through; or our Mayor, as I'm sure he
would like the credit Of doing such a
fine act for his city, which he so ably
represents.
I'm sure the boys and girls Of the
public school would add word Of
praise and commendation, for it would
save them an extra trip to the post
office every evening after school, and
would be an accommodation to the
clerks on duty at that time, as the
rush at that hour is great. And the
boys and girls would, I'm sure, be SO
glad to just go home and get busy at
something more profitable to them.
Would like to have expressions
from others on the subject.
