Thanksgiving
at Hospital No. A

State Hospital No. maintained its
reputation for wholesome efficiency
Thanksgiving day, by providing for
the patients a turkey and chicken
dinner, with the accompanying cram
berry sauce, homegrown celery, six
barrels of big red apples, pumpkin
pies in profusion, together with
steaming percolators of fragrant cof-
fee, fresh bread from their own bak-
cry, pure milk and butter from their
own Holstein herds.
Practically everything entering in
to this most excellent dinner was pro-
duced on the 1850 acres of land under
the control of the Institution. 1t is
really sad to think that the most ex-
cellent management now in control
there will soon, perhaps, have to give
way to new management, which in
all likelihood will be altogether inef-
ficient. This will cause those ire
sponsible inmates of that institution
to be the real sufferers from such a
disastrous change. Such is often the
result of partisan graft and greed.

Satisfactory Home
Talent Exhibition

Certainly one of the most satisfac-
tory ana satisfying home talent plays
ever produced was that at the Mon
arch theatre in this city Tuesday eve
ming, the performers being composed
of the Fannie Crosby Class of the M.
E. Church, South, Sunday School.
Great credit is certainly due to Mrs.
Frank Weber and Dir. G. B. Graves,
who directed the performance. The
play was none too long to be most in
teresting from start to finish. In
fact it was just the right length to
bring the greatest amount of pleas
ure to the large audience, many of
whom were compelled to stand.
Much unusual talent was exhibited
by the performers, all of whom de-
serve special mention which time will
not permit of. Prof. Hugh Porter,
DR.. John Robinson and Harry Smith
also volunteered most excellent mus
ic throughout the performance, which
was notable success, both in receipts
as well as in an evening of splendid
entertainment for the many in at
tendance.

Why Not Try Something for
Farmington That Is Really Big?

such inquiry has forced upon us the
absolute danger that now exists in
this city from the large number Of
cess pools with which the entire city
area is perforated, like unto a seive.
More than this--many of them have
been given but little or no attention
for years past. and are therefore in a
really dangerous condition as regards
the health Of nearby residents. In
fact, under certain conditions, the
sanitary situation of Pennington is
right for an epidemic to sweep
through the entire city, leaving death
and destruction in its wake.
The Times speaks thus plainly con-
cerning this all-important matter, in
the hope that the members of the
Chamber of Commerce will be brought
to see the urgent need for early ac-
tion on such proposition. AS stated
above, this is indeed big proposition.
But is not the Chamber of Commerce
capable of handling it. While the
cost would be great for thoroughly
efficient sewerage, the results Of a
single epidemic that is liable to result
at any time without such safeguard,
would pay for it many times over.
In considering this matter, a per-
fectly fair comparison in arriving at
the gist of the matter would be to
consider the probable cost Of such a
sewer system as compared to the loss
of even one of the loved members of
your family. When considered in
such a manner, The Times does not
consider it possible for anyone to ar
rive at any other conclusion than that
this city should have proper sewer
age without any further unnecessary
delay. .ua ,
Therefore The Times wishes to put
this matter before the Chamber of
Commerce, and ask that organization
of the leading business men of this
city to take hold of this matter. Sure
ly they cannot refuse to serve their
own best interests, in thus safe
guarding the health and lifes Of
themselves and their loved ones. May
we have prompt action on this mat
ter, in keeping with its overpowering

j. H. sIssoN's HOME DESTROYED

About $50 o'clock yesterday eve
ming the fire whistle sounded an
alarm, and soon scores of cars and
hundreds of people were headed
north on "a" street, the blaze hav-
ing been located in the Ben O'Dell
cottage, occupied by DR.. J. H. Sisson
and family. A great gathering reach
ed the scene in advance Of the hose
cart, which did splendid work after
it became unlimbered.
Nearly all furniture was removed
from the house, which was practical
ly gutted by the flames. The rear of
5he house, where the flames original
ed in the kitchen, probably from a
defective flue, was practically de-
5croyed, while the flames succeeded in
creeping to most every part of the
house before they were conquered by
steady streams Of water.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-11-26

Now that the Pennington Chamber
of Commerce has been getting some
valuable experience in the work of
development for this city and COM
munity, is it not about time for them
to undertake something that is big
enough to engage their closest atten-
tion and best efforts for some time
to come?
The thing The Times has in mind
is really a gigantic promotion for
this city. 1t is thing that but few
cities of the size of Pennington have
succeeded in securing. And yet its
accomplishment would mean vast--in-
estimable-and lasting good and ben
eft for the people of this city. It
would Immediately place Pennington
in the lead among all the smaller pop
ulations of Missouri as most de-
sirable residence city.
The thing The Times is going to
commend to the attention and care
full consideration of the Pennington
Chamber of Commerce is sewer sys-
tenn for this city. The pressing and
urgent need of such an improvement
is each day becoming more and more
apparent, and it will not be long, if
relief It not afforded in such direction,
before the people of this city will be
called upon to pay a frightful toll for
their neglect in this matter.
While the securing of suitable
sewer system for this city would be
a big undertaking, the enormity of it
is far overbalanced by the enormous
good that such a system would ac-
complish. Anyway, is it not the big
ger things, as well as the smaller in
community development, that the
Chamber of Commerce was organized
to perform. Such an enterprise would
mean renewed life, happiness and
prosperity for the entire population
of this city. Is there any bigger or
better than that to strive for in this
life?
One thing that has caused such
suggestions at this time has been :.
far too intimate personal inquiry in
to the sanitary condition of certain
parts of this city by the writer, and

LIVE STOCK MARKET


CATTLE.-The market has been
stimulated by marked decrease IN
receipts, this particularly being eff
fective on Gamers and butcher stuff,
which shows net advance of 25c to
SOC per cwt. with the low close of
the past week and the market at the
prices has been very active and snap
py. The steer cattle trade, however,
has not been quite so fortunate, al
though some improvement in the way
of strength was shown on the better
kinds, though on the bulk of the re-
ceipts, which are made up of stocker,
feeder and plain killing kinds, no
price improvement can be quoted
Beef steers, $6 to SIS; feeding steers
$3.50 to SO; stocker steers, So to ST.
so; stock cows, $4 to $5; stock heif-
ers. S5 to S6.45; yearling butcher cat
tie, $3.50 to $13; beef cows, $3.50 to
$8; cutters, $3.50 to $3.50; Gamers,
1925 to $3.75; Gamer yearlings, 3d.
rs to $3.50; bulls, S4 to ST.
HOGS.-The country continues to
liquidate its hog holdings in volume
little anticipated and the market has
continued slumping until the lowest
market since pre-war is, in effect.
From the present attitude of the hog
man the tendency of the market, as
a result of the liberal liquidation, is
lower.
The current trade compared with
yesterday shows a net loss of 81 per
cwt., although an early top of $10.25
was made, the market around noon
was governed by $40 top, that price
buying the bulk of the best hogs.
Hogs 100 pounds up sold at S9.75 to
$40; 100 to 100 pounds, $3.50 to $9.75.
Pigs, SO to 1850, with rough packing
hogs at $3.50 to So.
SHEEP.-The influence of the
Thanksgiving holiday had marked eff
feet in this department. Trade very
irregular and unsatisfactory with
very weak undercurrent prevalent.
To further illustrate this, city butch
ers yesterday paid $12 for about a
load and half Of fancy lambs, but
today $11 caught the best and prac-
tically all the god lambs within the
narrow range Of $1,000 to $11.
Fat sheep sold largely at $3.50 and
it was slow working market to Sc
cure the price.

DAIRY COW
COMPETITION OPEN TO
SMALL BREEDER

"Many breeders of dairy cattle just
making a start in the pure-bred bust
ness with a few head of foundation
cows, have considered official testing
out of their reach due to cost, and
therefore think they cannot enter
their cows in the Missouri Dairy Cow
Competition" says Chas. w. Turner,
Superintendent of the Official Test
ing in Missouri.
Recognizing the great value of rec
ords on the foundation animals of the
small breeder, a plan which will ena-
BILE these breeders to test their best
grade cows at the same time they are
conducting official tests on their
purebred cows and without extra cost
except the regular twenty-five cent
fee for checking the record, is offered
to the breeders of Missouri.
Dairymen are urged to put enough
of their best grades on test to make a
full run for the tester, as years
record will greatly increase the value
not only oof the cow but of her off
spring. All rules governing the Off
cial testing of purebreds apply. In
the case of these grade cows month
ly report of the milk production must
be sent to the Department of Dairy
Hqsbandry of the Missouri College Of
Agriculture, Columbia, where it will
be checked and recorded. At the end
Of the year certified statement of
the milk and fat production will be
made to the owner. This arrange
ment makes it possible fer much
larger number of the small breeders
to begin official testing, and advan-
tage should be taken Of this oppor-
tunity.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES


Fall plowing for corn is one of the
best methods for controlling many in
sects injurious to the growing corn
crop. Corn Root aphis, white grubs,
wire worms, and cut worms are best
fought by plowing the ground in the
fall or winter. tE
A rotation of crops should be prac-
ticed where corn does not follow corn.
! However, If for some reasn this Is
necessary and the corn root aphis or
so-called "blue bugs" infested the
land the past year, this land should
be plowed good depth in the fall or
winter. This will break up the nests
of the ants that house the eggs dur
ing the winter. AS a return for this
protection, the "blue bugs" furnish
the honey dew for the ants to feed on.
The "blue bugs" are what cause the
corn to be dwarfed the leaes becom-
ing yellow and red, with general
lack of vigor.
Also land that is to be put in corn,
that is in timothy sod, especially of
long standing, should be plowed in the
fall and winter. AS the beetles, which
are one form of the white grub, re-
main in the pupal cells over winter
and are tender and not fully hardened,
deep plowing fall will kill large num-
bers of them by breaking open the
cells and exposing them to the wealth
er and by burying and crushing them.
Also wireworms and cutworms are
controlled by fall or winter plowing.
The controlling of the chinch bugs
is of greatest Importance to the corn
grower. Everything else may be ia
vorable for large yield of corn, but
if the chinch bugs once get into the
corn, the crop is cut materially in
yield.
During the winter, the bugs hiber-
nate in clumps of grass, in the butts,
and in old shocks of corn, or under
whatever rubbish is available. In
early spring, they assemble in fields of
grass and small grains. Soon they
pair and the females commence to lay
their small yellowish-w eggs upon
the roots or bases of the stalks, each
laying some $50 to 200 eggs.
The eggs are then laid upon the un-
the middle of May and hatch in two
or three weeks. AS the nymphs grow,
they often do serious injury to small
grains and grass, upon which thy be-
come full grown about the time of
harvest. When wheat is harvested
they spread to oats and soon to corn.
The eggs aer then laid upon the un-
folding leaves of corn, from which the
young bugs commence to emerge in
about ten days. The second brood
natures on corn in August and Sep
tember and is the one which later hi |
bernates over winter, though where
corn is not available, the whole sea-
son may be passed on grass.
The burning over Of grass land, |
and the grass along fences, hedges,
and roads in late fall and early win
ter is of prime Importance to destroy |
the bugs after they have gone into
Information. The removal Of all corn
stalks from the fields and plowing
the butts under deeply. or where the
bugs are very abundant, raking out
the butts and burning them, will aid
in ridding the fields of this pest.

Another Good Man
With Farmers Bank

The announcement that G. B. Sni-
der has become identified with the
Farmers Bank of this city, will be
most satisfactory news to Mr.. Sni-
der's many friends in this commune
ty, as we'll as to the many friends of
that institution and the community
generally. Mr.. Snider has purchased
considerable stock in the Farmers
Bank, of which he has been elected
active vice-president, and on Dec. 1st
he will devote all of his time to the
affairs of that splendid institution.
While Mr.. ,Snider is yet a compara-
lively young man, he has had long
and varied banking experience, as well
as other valuable business connections.
For ten years previous to moving to
this city he was cashier of the bank at
Marble Hill, and it was with deep re-
gret that his resignation from that po-
sition was accepted when he came here
about three years ago to accept SIM
liar position with the st. Francois
County Bank, which position he held
for about year, when he also resign
ed that to accept a position in the In
ternal Revenue Department of St.
Louis.
The efficient and thorough manner
in which he conducted the business in
the Revenue Department recommend
ed him for promotion and last spring
he was called to Washington, D. c.,
and was given special course in Gov
ernment Capital Stock Tax, since
which time he has been in charge of
that work for the Stat9s of Missouri,
Kentucky, Iowa and Nebraska, being
one of twelve men in charge of such
work throughout the United States.
Besides being thoroughly capable
and efficient, Mr.. Snyder is most
affable and companionable gentleman,
and the fact that he will soon again
be closely identified with a Farming
ton institution will doubtless be graft
flying news to the citizens of this COM
munitv.

The defendant admitted that he had
no license to practice medicine" but

BETTER MILK cows
FOR HOWELL COUNTY

Howell county farmers are about
ready to place an order for car load
Of good milk cows as result of meet
ings held in the West Plains neigh
borhood early this month. Those
farmers particularly are interested
because Of their proximity to thu
milk condensery.
They have found that by buying
sheir feed comparatively they can eff
feet considerable saving in feeding
their dairy stock. For example, they
are buying cotton-seed meal in car
load lots at saving Of s11 ton, and
a proportionate saving is made also
in buying hulls this way.
