LESLIE MITCHELL MARRIED

Judge and Mrs. J. d. Mitchell have
just received a letter from their son.
Leslie Mitchell, written from Fort
Wayne, Ind, stating that he had just
been married in that city to the sweet
est and lovliest girl in all the world
None of Leslie's many friends here
will question that assertion, knowing
as they do Leslie's discriminating
taste for beauty, as we'll as quality
Leslie evidently thought no further in
formation important, and he neglected
to give his wife's former name.
For the past three years Leslie had
been in military service, enlisting fo1
one year after he had been discharged
at the end of the war. He was dis
charged from service on April z, and
the same day was married to "the
sweetest girl in the world, as his
friends here trust he will always think
of her. He has a position in Detroit
where, for the present, at least, they
will make their home. Leslie was one
of Farmington's most energetic and
promising young men. The Times
joins with many other friends here in
wishing for this happy couple long
life and complete happiness:

Interesting Meeting
of X. of P. Order

Wednesday night of this week,
Crystal Lodge No. so K. of P. held a
special convention in the Odd Fellows
Hall in this city, when the rank of
Page was conferred upon six candi-
dates and the rank of Esquire upon
one. While Crystal Lodge has nice
hall of its own in the Jennings build
ing, they used the Odd Fellows hall
on this occasion because it is larger
and has other conveniences.
| For a number Of years Crystal
Lodge has been lacking in that fund
amental necessity to the existence of,
and interest in, fraternal organiza-
ton, namely: That of new members.
The old ones tire of the monotony of
holding conventions at which there is
nothing done but going through the
routine of the "Order of Business" F"
This condition has been facing this
lodge for number of years, until it
looked as if there was danger of los
ing the charter. This would have
meant a calamity, as Crystal Lodge is
the wealthiest lodge in the state, based
upon memb bership. Last week Deputy
Grand Chancellor Drummond visited
Pennington, and through his efforts
campaign was put on for the pur-
pose of increasing the membership,
the result of the first effort being the
class Of six above referred to; more
are expected to join soon.
At the meeting Wednesday night, a
team from Mineral Lodge No. SO of
Bonne Terre, was present, and put on
the work in the two ranks, those of
Page and Esquire. They were thor
oughly trained in the ritualistic work,
and not only the candidates but all
present were highly edited and pleas
ed at the manner the ranks were con-
ferred.
In addition to the ritual work in
the rank of Page, the Bonne Terre
boys rendered the drama of Damon
and Pythias" in a manner creditable
to even professional actors. They
were appropriately costumed, and the
large hall rendered the setting Of the
play very effective. The story of Da-
mon and, Pythias is history, but the
acting Of the drama more forcibly
impresses upon the candidates the
teaching and tenets of the rank of
Page, that OF "triendshlp". There
are sixteen who take part in this
play, the principal characters being
represented by Sir Knights J. N
Shaner, E. f. Ferguson, John L. Pos
ton and j. d. Hickman, all of Min
eral Lodge.
About forty visiting Knights were
present at this convention, Bonne
Terre, Flat River, DeSoto and other
towns being represented. Grand
Chancellor P. P. Hinchey was also
present, and delivered a short ad-
dress, congratulating Crystal Lodge on
the prospect of its complete rejuve-
nation and predicted bright prospects
for the lodge.
A lunch, consisting of oyster soup,
sandwiches, coffee, ETC., was served
to which all did "ample justice" about
midnight.

Infant Has
Narrow Escape

Irma, the two-and-a-half year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Mayberry, of Flat River, fell into a
cistern Sunday afternoon at the home
of its grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
H. Hart, in Taylortown, where the
Mayberries were spending the day.
The cistern is about ten feet deep,
with three-and- d-a-half feet of water.
The accident was witnessed by
members of the family, but the little
one was in the water all of five min
utes before ladder could be secured
and put down, when the father went
down and rescued the child just as it
was sinking below the water. The
little one was apparently not hurt by
it's high plunge and chilly bath, as it
was playing about as usual the next
day, apparently unconscious of its
narrow escape from death.

What is Limit
Catch of 5-lb Bass

With the near approach of spring,
local nimrods are becoming exceed
ingly anxious to gambol with the fnny
tribe on the banks of the numerous
splendid fishing streams in this vi
cinity. Rods and reels are being po-
lished and oiled in preparation for the
raid" soon as weather conditions
will permit.
While in deep anticipation of that
happy day, another thought has CO.
Cured to Ed, Phip, sBilly and Riney,
who perhaps rank first locally as fish
ing experts, and this latest thought
has been causing them more or less
worry. The thing they are now most
anxious about is "what is the limit
catch for 5-pound bass 1t will be
noted that they are not figuring on
catching any but the largest fish.
They have presented their trouble
some problem to Deputy Fish Warden
Ed Byington, who stated that the linn
it for 5-pound bass for single days
angling was so pounds. This decision
has appeared to be far from satisfy
ing them, as they evidently thought
it would require trucks to haul in their
catch. They do not appear to think il
just to limit their sport in that way
But, even with such heavy handi-
cap, they are none the less anxious tc
establish communication with the COY
5-pound bass.

Edward Bethel
Pleads Guilty

The trial of Edward Bethel, charged
with participation in the robbery of
the Taul store in Arcadia several
months ago, came up in the Iron coun-
ty circuit court Tuesday, before Judge
Deering. Edwards older brother,
William, was found guilty last week
sentenced to five years in the peni-
tertiary.
Notwithstanding the verdict in the
trial of William, Edwards many
friends still hoped that he would be
able to prove his innocence Of the
charge. But when his case was called,
Edward entered plea of guilty, and
was also given five year sentence in
the penitentiary. His actions through
out continued to be notceably quiet
and unobtrusive, which had given his
friends added confidence in his inno-
cence.
After sentence had been passed,
Judge Deering called the two brothers
before him and delivered to them
stating that they had been reared by
splendid parents, to whom their
wrong doing came as crushing blow;
that both were still young, and with
good behavior their Imprisonment
would soon come to an end; that there
was much of good still remaining in
this life if only they would follow
closely their earlier teachings
Thus ends case that has perplexed
many, as the details of the crime
were so altogether out of harmony
with normal human nature IL is not
yet understandable how young men as
Industrious as these had proved them
selves would be possessed of desire
to go back to their boyhood home to
rob and plunder from their fathers
old friends, and yet apparently be such
perfect gentlemen.

The McAtee Produce Co. shipped a
car load of produce to the St. Louis
market Wednesday, which is the first
freight shipment that has been made
from here since the present strike has
been on. The shipment coudl not be
billed to st. Louis, however, so it goes
to Jefferson Barracks, and Mr.. Nc
Atee has arranged to have trucks
bring him a car load of goods to that
point and haul his produce into the
city market. Mr.. McAtee is a genu-
inc hustler for business, is always in
the market for anything that anyone
has to sell, and if there is any way to
get his produce to market he is sure
to discover and make use of the meth
cd that may be offered.

A Brain Storm
Causes Damage

Geos A. Miller, a we'll known citi-
zen living a short distance from this
city, came in from his home yester-
day morning on business. Soon after
arriving here he was evidently at
tackled by brain storm, and about
ten O'clock he proceeded to combat an
imaginary enemy, perhaps, and threw
several rocks through four large plate
glass windows. He probably started
in to make the rounds of the square,
keeping near the center of the street,
and whenever he imagined he beheld
an enemy, he let drive at him, having
perhaps gathered supply of small
sized stones before starting on his
troublesome journey.
The first front attacked was the
Farmers Bank, through the large
plate glass of which he threw stone.
Passing quickly on to the next corner,
he broke two similar plate glass in the
store of Morris. Hurrying on, his
last throw secured his largest game,
as that rock perforated the window in
the building recently vacated by Bur-
nette's Market, and now being put in
shape for confectionery.
By that time several parties started
after him, and he also broke into a
run, but was overtaken in the rear of
the St. Francois hotel. On being TAX
en- to the Sheriff's office, he was ex-
amined by physician, but failed to
make any intelligible replies, though
he appeared to comprehend what was
said to him, as he would quickly indi-
cate yes on no by shaking his head.
He was later taken before the County
Court, where further examination was
made, and he was ordered taken to
State Hospital No. for treatment.
So far as any of his friends know,
this was his first mental collapse.

LEAD

The market is quiet and steady.
Lead which has been held up in tran
sit is moving more freely into con-
sumption, rendering the entire situ-
alton easier. The leading interest
still maintains its quotation at Sc, ST.
Louis, or 9.25, New York, for early de-
livery, and there has been no material
change in the outside market. We
quote for early delivery in wholesale
lots at S.75c, St. Louis, or Sc, New
York, with demand fair and consump-
ton still heavy. The present easier
conditions are believed by one large
seller to he only temporary as produc-
tion has not improved enough to
maintain supplies equal to ultimate
demand.

BANKS MUST INCLUDE
LIBERTY BONDS IN TAX

The State Tax Commission, at a re-
cent session, ruled banks of the state
must pay on the par value of their
stock and that the value of Liberty
Bonds owned by the banks cannot be
deducted in arriving at their value.
This question has been one which
has caused much speculation in bank
ing circles of the state. Many banks
returned their stock values less the
Liberty Bonds owned. Others took
the same view as that of the tax COM
mission.

Help Make Our
City Beautiful

After a long winter, like the one
just past, great deal of rubbish and
unsanitary refuse has accumulated.
Great care should be taken by our
town board and citizens of our city to
see that all trash is cleared away as
early as possible. If this is done, a
great deal Of illness and epidemics
will be avoided. Labor being scarce
and high priced, each individual must
be interested enough in their home
surroundings to make things sanitary
and help make our city beautiful.

'T am feeling so fine since taking Tanlac that I can't tell l ever suffer ed with rheumatism in my life,'' said Michael McCloskey, for fifteen years an employe of the California Plate Glass and Paint Co.,, living at BOT 1-2 West Second St., Los Angeles, Cal
 ''For seven or eight years,' he con- tinued, 'I had been bothered with bad case of rheumatism in my right leg all the way down to my ankle. My muscles were drawn up and if stoop- ed over the pains were so bad I could hardly stand them. At times I had severe spells that nearly knocked me out entirely, and while I managed to hold on to my Job, it was all I could do to keep up till night came Nearly every night as soon as I got in bed that dull, heavy, ache would start up and sometimes I hardly slept wink It looked like the more treatments I

 Finally I tried Tanlac and it was a lucky day for me when I did, for it went straight after my rheumatism and I felt so much better after taking the first bottle that I got a second. Then l bought another and now ali traces of the rheumatism have left me and I am on the job every minute of the day. I sleep like log all night and my appetite is so fine that I am hungry all the time. I have already gained ten pounds in weight and am feeling better and stronger than I have in many years.
