The Esther high school was award
ed first prize at the Scdalia State
Fair for sewing. and third prize in ag-
riculture note book. The winning of
both these prizes is most commenda-

on the industry and proficiency they
have attained, as proven by two such
awards. ts

as it was his oversight of the various

be of interest TO note also that Miss
Doris Swink was formerly teacher Of
domestic science in the Esther school.

Bootleggers
Still Rampant

The passing of bootleggers in an
endless chain through the court house
in Pennington, where they usually
give bond for their appearance for
trial at some future date, is about the
only thing to jar the hum-dum of daily
life in this community. But the
watching of this endless procession is
calculated to furnish more or less d.
version, as one may be somewhat ac-
ouainted with the merits or dement's
of the various cases. If this pageant
continues much longer, then real
problem will arise as to whether or
not the bootleggers and their sympa-
thizers are in the majority.
Among those who have been arrest
ed the past week on the charge OF
bootlegging are the following, a
round dozen. This does not nearly
comprise the list for the week. but on
ly those who have thus far been ar
rested: Harry Mauer, Robt. Vaughan,
Ira Declure, Harry Dodson, Jim Haw-
kins, John Hineman, Pete Stringer,
Hube Turley, Dan Clark, Luther Leo
pards, VIM. Perkins and Arthur Names
These parties have been arrested in
different parts of the county, and prac-
tically all are apparently separate Of

sion charge will be levied for selling
live stock, but earnings will be pro-
rated back to the members on the pat
ronage dividend plan.
The directors of the terminal asso-
Citations will be elected by delegates
in annual convention. Voting dele
gates will be apportioned on the basis
of shipments consigned to the termi-
nal association, and not by state lines.
Third. The various terminal asso-
Citations will federate into national
organization, governed by board OF
not less than nor more than Is di-
rectors. The national board will be
supported by the terminal commission
associations.
No contract to be signed by the
members is contemplated.
The subcommittee on cooperative
marketing will call a conference to be
held in Chicago Sept. 2, to work out q
standardized plan for the organization
and management of cooperative iive
stock shipping associations. An effort
will be made to outline the ideal ship,
ping association.

Why Not Get
the Big Ones ?

There appears to be much activity
in this community against the boot.
leggers, which activity has long been
plainly apparent, and there is no ques-
tion but that some of the law enforce
ment officers are doing everything in
their power to bring those guilty of
law violations to justice, whether
their crime be bootlegging or any
other offense against the majesty of
the law.
But apparently there is something
radically wrong with all such aetiv-
ity, in that it evidently fails to strike
the vital spot in the organization of
bootleggers, which The Times is led
to believe exists in st. Francois coun-
ty. Much of this legal activity has
the ear-marks of being just so much
propaganda, perhaps put on for the
purpose of satisfying, or pacifying
the overwhelming element that favor
strict law enforcement.
The Times, with a host of Others
would like to know why it is that
most of the raids are conducted
against those who have two or three
bottles of booze, or perhaps are try
ing to extract the juice of the corn
with the aid of tin can for "still,
while those who are, and for years
have been engaged in the sale--if not
the manufacture-of whiskey on a
larger scale are permitted to continue
in such unlawful business with little
or no legal interference.
Another thing in this regard, that
is beginning to take on the appearance
of queerness, is the fact that when {
raid has been thoroughly planned, tho
guilty parties are usually clipped" oil
in some manner, so that they are Civ

order" and when the officers ar
rive there is seldom any incriminat
ing evidence to be obtained.
The Times has information, which il
has every reason to think is reliable
that there are several blind tigers nov
in operation in certain places in this
county-and some of them have beer
at the same old stand for severa
years past-where whiskey, "whit'

have it that ,'dose" is usually correct
If there is any shenanigan going OF
in the pursuit of bootleggers in St
Francois county, as many claim there
is, then it is high time for the truth
of the matter to be known, so that the
blame may be properly placed and
punishment be meted out to the gull.
ty, whomsoever he, she or they may
be. The overwhelming sentiment Of
the people of this county is for strict
law enforcement.

Cured in nearly all the wheat and oat
growing sections Of the state, due to
the same kind of weather. All of
these insects are controlled by keep
ing down the volunteer grain. The
danger of epidemic damage by these
bugs, sufficient to destroy the winter
wheat crop, hangs over the state ev-
cry year, if the spring weather is
warm enough to let them multiply
and still too cold to let any parasites
gain the upper hand.
Aare You Losing Ground?
Among the valuable facts discover
ed by the Missouri Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station are the terms of

the top soil will last 253 years and

Tuesdays Storm
Near Cyclonic

The storm Tuesday afternoon devel-
oped almost cyclonic force in Flat
River, while there was hard rain ov-
er quite large territory. In the Flat
River vicinity, where the principal
force of the storm spent itself, the
rain was accompanied by heavy hail
and terrific wind, which did consid-
cradle damage in that vicinity. The
tram-ways were blown from several
chat dumps, one or more large show
windows were broken, trees blown
down, and the canvass roof over the
skydome was considerably damaged.
For some time it seemed that that
community was in the clutches Of a
regular twister.
In Pennington the rain continued
for perhaps an hour, though there was
but little wind here. The opening
number Of the Chautauqua was in
progress, where had gathered tent
full of people, and the leaky canvass
was but slight protection against the
moisture, so that the ardor of all pres
ent was pore or less dampened. There
is an old saying to the effect that "a
bad beginning insures a good ending,
which it is hoped will hold good in
reference to this years Chautauqua.

Daily Taxi Cab
Line to St. Louis

The st. Louis-Fredericktown Taxi
Cab Co. began operating a chain of
taxicabs Monday, August 22nd, be-
tween st. Louis and Fredericktown. 1t
is the intention of this company to
run three seven-passenger Hupmo-
mobile touring cars over their route
daily, and according to their printed
time schedule tley will make the trip
about an hour quicker than it can be
made by rail. Tie fare, too, is but
slightly more than railway fare.
Whether or not the time schedule,
as well as the fare, can be, held at the
present rate remains to be seen from
actual experience, but Carl Bess, the
cnterprising head of this concern,
thinks it can be done. 1t is volume
of business that he will struggle for
in order to make this line of greatest
possible service to the travelling pub
lie. There is real need for such line
in this territory, which is not given
the service it should have by the rail-
roads. The Times wishes the new en-
terprise abundant success.

Wins One and
Loses One

The double header ball game played
on the Pennington grounds last Sun
day afternoon resulted in a victory
and a defeat for the home team. The
Knob Lick team was the first contend
er against the home team, and the
play was interesting. The outstanding
feature of the visiting team was the
puzzling balls twirled by the pitcher.
Pennington also had new man on
the mound, and Powell also acquitted
himself in creditable manner. There
is no doubt but that there will be
more frequent calls for his services
than there has been. The game was
called at 1870 and continued about two
hours, the score being in favor of
Pennington.
Soon after the end of the first
game, the second game was called, the
home team having as contenders the
Irondale team, who soon made it ap-
parent that they were worthy con-
tenders. The second game was better
played throughout than was the first
game, and from start to finish the
game was close and exciting, and it
was impossible to name the victory
until the last man was out.
For this game another new mound
man was brought into service by the
home team in the person of Schrader,
and he, proved to be the surprise of
the season, throwing both a swift and
puzzling ball. He has probably won
berth with the home team whenever
he chooses to play.
The score was in favor of Irondale
The Times was again promised the
complete score Of both games, bat
again such promise has failed.

A Sacrifice to
Public Service

The splendid sacrifice made by DR..
j. L. Eaton, superintendent of State
Hospital No. A, has made possible the
accommodation of a number of ex-
service men at that institution who
are suffering from mental trouble as
a result of their war experiences. DR..
and Mrs. Eaton have given up the su-
perintendent's home at that institu-
tion, and have moved into the Admin
istration building, where they have
more or less crowded quarters. There
was no reason for such action other
than the desire on the part of Supt.
Eaton and his excellent wife for SER
vice to mankind.
The inmates from the first, or best
ladies ward, have been transferred to
the Superintendent's home, thereby
giving an entire cottage in this insti-
tuition to the care and treatment of
the ex-service men. Such a method
for creating additional room in such
an institution is no doubt without
precedent. The idea of thus securing
an entire ward for the soldier boy pa
tients, in an institution already as ov-
ercrowded as Hospital No. A was. sets
a new mark in public economy. 1t is
this spirit of service that has placed
that institution on the high plane it
has occupied throughout its present
management.
A score or more ex-service men
have already been received there, and
others are constantly arriving. Can
you think Of any good and sufficient
reason why Gov. Hyde should hold up
a part of the appropriation of $751;
91O for the erection of new buildings
there? Such is the status of the case.

Child Injured
by Automobile

While on his way to Bismarck Mon
day morning in his automobile, Mar
ion Koen's automobile struck the B.
,year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Guitar,
on Federal Hill, Flat River. The lit
tie one was on his way home from the
store, and apparently was not watch
ing where he was going. An older
sister preceded him, and had just
called for him to watch where he was
going. Koen still not seeing the child
had looked backward to find the cause
of the call, and just as he looked for
ward again the little fellow was walk
ing right into his car. He diverted
his machine at once, but not in time
to prevent the side of the car hitting
the little fellow.
He was taken home Immediately
where Mr.. Koen tried to get this
mothers consent to allow him to take
the child to a hospital, but was re-
fused. The little ones right arm was
badly cut between the elbow and
shoulder, and the parents say there
we're several severe bruises about the
head and body. Gene Mitchell and
Carroll Phillips, who were in Mr.
Koen's car at the time of the accident,
both say the accident could not have
been avoided by Mr.. Koen, who did
all it was possible to do to save the
child from harm.
