DEMONSTRATION WEEK.

Members of the mercantile section OF
the Chamber OF Commerce will meet to
night TO discuss Demonstration Week.
The idea Of a special week on which
1hs merchants should display their
wares would be an inducement TO Gus
toners TO visit the business section and
result in q consequent stimulation IN
business, they believe. Some members
propose that one day OF the week be
set aside for a particular group OF
merchants One day they say could be
Millinery Day, another could be Cloth
ing Day, and the same for other busi-
ness.
other members have other ideas and

Robber Arrested
and COnfeSses

Herman Howard, about 20 years
old, was arrested at his home in FL
wins Sunday morning, on the charge
Of being one of the two men who rob-
bed Leo Hawn, the railroad agent at
Doe Run Junction, on July 4th. How
ard was arrested Immediately after
his return to Elvins, from where he
had been missing since that robbery.
After his arrest the accused con-
fessed that he and Joe Hicks, of Fred
ericktown, who had been working for
the Federal had committed the crime.
He stated that Immediately after the
departure of a train they entered the
depot with drawn revolvers and fore
ed the agent to turn over to them all
the money from the drawer, receiving
$50 and few cents, of which Howard
says he received SIS.
After a somewhat broken flight
they reached Paragould. Ark, after
several days, where Howard says he
left Hicks and returned to Elvins.
Sheriff Hunt at once telegraphed Of
fcers at Paragould to be on the look
out for Hicks and arrest him, if
found. 1t is only matter of time un-
til he will also be behind the bars
awaiting punishment for his crime.

Is There Also Oil
In This County?

The fact that st. Francois county
contains the richest mineral lands to
be found In Missouri has long been
known and generally conceded. But
there, in the minds of most Of our in.
habitants, her stores Of hidden wealth
have ended. Heretofore no thought
has been given to the possibility Of
this county containing reservoirs of
oil waiting to be tapped by the drill
er. But recent developments appear
to indicate the possibility of this coun-.
ty entering the list Of oil producers.
The Times is informed that Judge
Peter H. Huck and Judge T. H.
Straughan, of Ste. Genevieve, have re-
Gently, been securing a number Of oil
leases a short distance northeast Of
Pennington. Judge Huck has had
considerable experience in the Ken
lucky oil fields, and his present opera
tions in this county would seem to in
dicate that the earth formations are
right for oil in this vicinity. We are
also informed that he has control of
several oil rigs, which he proposes to
put into this field at an early date.
Information has also reached The
Times that Oklahoma oil men have
been buying considerable land in the
vicinity of Knob Lick, as we'll as Sc
curing oil leases, which is further
indication that conditions are proms-
ing for oil there.
This paper has no information as
to when the first test hole will be
started, or where. 1t would be no sur
prise to us, however, if the first hole
brings in a gusher. AS the years go
by the writer has become more and
more impressed with the prospects of
enormous hidden wealth in this county,
and an ocean or two of oil would ap-
pear to be in keeping with the noun
tains of mineral that are known to be
deposited here,

A Distinguished
Visitor With Us

BIigadier General J. Mel. Carter, of
the United States Army, has been here
the past week on an extended leave of
absence, visiting relatives and greeting
old friends, many of whom he has
here at his old boyhood home. For the
time he has doffed his uniform and is
the same plain, democratic and cor
dial fellow we have always known,
and it comes natural for his old
friends to address him by his boy
hood name of "Mack".
During the world war he was pro-
NOTED to Major General and assigned
to the organization of a division, which
he was to command overseas. but
about the time of the completion of its
organization the armistice was signed
and his division was prevented from
seeing active service on the battle
fields of France. Since then he has
been retained in Washington in i'm
portant military assignments. Like
many of the army promotions made
during the urgency of war times, his
rank has been denoted to that of
Brigadier General lin the regular ar
my. After his leave Of absence, which
is for three months, he will take COM
mand Of Fort Houston, Texas, to
which he has been assigned. aa.

Farm Bureau
Work to Continue

The County Court of st. Francois
county has just entered into new
contract with the Farm Bureau, guar
anteeing it financial support for three
more years. According to the con-
tract the Farm Bureau is to receive a
maximum of $1,000 per year, providing
it employs an agent and shows that
this amount of money is actually ex-
pended in carrying on its work.
At tie time when request for an
appropriation was first presented to
the court, two judges voted against it.
Public sentiment was so strongly in
favor of Farm Bureau work, however,
that the Presiding Judge, w. A.
Mitchell, reversed his attitude and the
former action was rescinded. The
Farm Bureau appreciates this action
on the part of Judge Mitchell in cor
recting what, on second thought, ap-
pcared to him to be a mistake. 1t
feels also that it has a staunch friend
in Judge Wampler, who consistently
stood for its interests from the begin
ming.
The farmers also appreciate the
backing of the business men of Farm
ington, as well as the other towns of
the county, in helping to. secure the
appropriation. Agriculture is the
biggest business of the United States;
what helps it, helps, and what harms
it, harms, all other business. We are
glad to note that the progressive,
thinking business men of st. Francois
county take, this attitude, The Farm
Bureau can now go forward, bringing
increased prosperity, not only to its
members and other farmers. but to the
business interests Of our county in
general. We

Choral Club to
Visit County

The Choral Society of the Enuncia-
tion church of st. Louis will spend a
week at Iron Mountain lake, begin
ming Sunday, July 31st. They are COM
ing for. good time, rest and recrea-
tion, and will spend the week in camp
at that splendid resort. alternating
among themselves the duties of camp
life. They expect to make the trip
from the city by truck and in auto
mobiles.
There are fifteen excellent voices in
this Society, and their visit to this
county will doubtless bring real pleas
ure to themselves as well as excellent
entertainment to the people in diff
ferent parts Of the county, as the La
dies Club of Iron Mountain have al
ready made arrangements with them
for a number of entertainments, for
which nominal admission will be
charged, the proceeds of which will 60
for charity, according to plans being
carried out by the Ladies Club Of Iron
Mountain, which have previously been
explained in The Times.
The times and places that have al
ready been selected for such enter
tainments are as follows: Iron Noun
tain Lake Sunday evening, July 31st;
Ironton on Monday evening, August
1st; Pennington on Tuesday evening,
at the Monarch, August End; Bis
marck on Wednesday evening, Aug
ust 3rd.
The above dates and places will af-
ford the people of this and adjacent
counties a most unusual opportunity
to hear the best of music at small
cost, as the prices have been fixed at
Soc for adults and 25c for children.
The Choral Club is said to comprise
some of the best voices in st. Louis,
and these performances will doubtless
be looked forward to eagerly by all
lovers of music.

Worse Than
FreebOOtinG

Last week The Times received what
purported to be an acknowledgment
ment from Mrs. A. Ponder, of Bonne
Terre, that she had written certain al
legged communications to citizens OF
that place some time ago. to which
she had signed the name of another
citizen, supposedly of that place, This
notice contained request for publi-
cation, and asked that statement for
same be mailed to Mrs. Ponder, who
would remit for same.
Without giving the matter much
thought, in the general rush to get to
press, The Times made the publication
and sent Mrs. Ponder marked copy
Of the paper to show insertion, to-
gether with a statement. On Satur-
day afternoon Mrs. Ponder called The
Times on long distance, and stated
that she knew nothing about the mat
ter referred to-, naturally felt indig-
nant and grieved at such an occur
renee, and asked us to make an abso-
lutte denial that she is in any way con-
cerned in the matter referred to. She
also stated that she would do what
she could to try and locate the party
or parties, responsible for such low
down, contemplate piece of villiany.
1t is indeed difficult to understand
how any human being can be so ut
terly and completely lacking in CON-
mon sense and human feeling as to
perpetrate such a wanton and das-
tardly crime, for no other apparent
reason than to try and besmirch the
good name and reputation Of another.
1t would indicate that such "thing,"
apparently created in the image of
man, is absolutely craven, both moral
ly and mentally. He who takes my
purse, steals trash; but he who robs
me of my good name takes all have"
1t is the earnest hope of The Times
that if the party guilty of this basest
ef crimes against his fellowman is
discovered that he Or she will receive
the most severe penalty the law pro
vides for such forgery and misreprs-
sentation. The guilty one should also
be marked with the brand Of Cain, so
that all who beheld would know of
their unworthiness. They are fes-
tering blight on humanit,

Stock Show for
St. Francois Co.

The st. Francois CS0nty Agricul-
tural and Stock Show will be held in
Pennington October 21st and 22nd, it
was decided Wednesday night at a
meeting of the joint Chamber of Com
merce and Farm Bureau Committee. .
The show will feature particularly
dairy cattle. The roundup of the an
imals belonging to the members Of
the Calf Club will, with the sale, per-
haps be the principal feature. The
poultry show will be given particular
attention, due to the large number of
fine focks to be found in the county.
Displays Of agricultural and home pro-
ducts will be arranged. The latter
will include fancy work and kitchen
products. 1t is possible that the an
nual sale held by the Hereford Breed
ers Association will be held in con-
junction. 1t is possible also. that a
hog show will be arranged. In case
the latter two features are added one
or two days will be added to allow time
to take care of all features. 1t is con-
templated that the dairy show will oc-
cupy two complete days.
1t was agreed to advertise home
coming for the show dated. All res
idents of the county will be called in
to service in an attempt to call back
home as many former citizens as pos
sible during the week of October II to
% and particularly the latter three
days.
A brass band will be one of the
principal entertainment features and
an effort will be made to secure a
high-class street attraction and show.
Finance, publicity, entertainment,
concessions, dairy. agricultural, poul-
try, home products, committees were
authorized and will soon be appointed.
The general committee consists of w.
M. Harlan, chairman, C. E. Rozier and
Geo. A. Tetley, Of the Chamber of
Commerce, and Roy johnson, Maurice
Highley, E. E. Swink, G. C. Schuttler
and Roy Coplen from the Farm Bu-
reau.

Treasurer'S Of
flee Eliminated

On the organization of the new
Board of Managers of State Hospital
No. A, we are informed that the office
of Treasurer was dispensed with. The
duties that have heretofore been per-
formed by that officer have been made
part of the work Of the Steward of
that institution.
There has been considerable discus
sion in this community of late as to
who would inherit the position Of
Treasurer under the present admins
tration. This action will put an end
to all such surmises.

"A Genuine
Promotion

y y b u
The splendid work that Sundy Lio-
lios is now carrying forward at Sum
dy's Summer Garden II entitled not
only to the cordial best wishes of the
citizens of the whole Of st. Francois
county, but to their assistance and en-
couragement as well. Do you ask
why? For the simple reason that If
the splendid efforts Mr.. Liolios is MAX
ing are successful. the elimination
will be that this county will have a
real pleasure resort, where all will be
permitted to go at any time and enjoy
themselves, with or without money.
When this park is thoroughly equip
ped, and gets to running as Mr.. Liolios
is determined it shall, is it difficult to
see that it will prove to be real asset
to st. Francois county. 1t is the in
tention of the management to make
this park of metropolitan portions
and attractions, and when this purpose
is actually accomplished then there
will be many who will be ready and
willing to congratulate Mr.. Sundy in
cordial manner for his remarkable ac-
complishment.
But what are many of such people
doing now to assist and encourage this
enterprise, when their assistance may
amount to some real benefit? Many
of these people are not now working
along this time. In other words, they
are attempting to cast rubbish in the
pathway, rather than attempting to
smooth the way and make going cas-
ier. The voice of the croaker is now
heard, like the siren voice of bun
frog, saying 'it-can't-be-done" and
Observation-Disclosures" and like the
bull-frog, they make considerable
noise for their number.
Mr.. Liolios has undertaken work
that would cause most men to quail,
and yet, with his adaptability for this
sort of promotion, its success does
not appear difficult thing. In fact,
even now its ultimate success seems
assured. In fact this resort just nat
urally appears to be growing more and
more attractive as the days pass by.
But these things are not "just happen
ing" There is a steady hand and
masterful brain guiding and directing
such development.
The management does not expect,
however, to proceed this season with
some of his larger attractions, but al
ready has in mind a baseball park, a
natatorium and several other big
things for next season. In the mean
time smaller attractions are constantly
being added, so that now it is proving
to be real pleasure to spend an eve
ming there. Sundy's Summer Garden
is already a success, so that "knock-
ing" can no longer retard it. In fact
it has already reached that stage of
development where every knock is a
boost. Better throw away your ham
mer and cease making yourself ridic-

A. B. Wines has purchased the gas
filling station opposite the Lang Mfg.
and Mer. Co., which he is putting in

to the trade. It is a good location, and
Mr.. Wines will keep oils, inner tubes

Of customers.

A. j. Hawn has just completed in
stalling a Delco lighting Csystem at
Sundy's Summer Garden, which is
giving most excellent and satisfactory
service, with a minimum amount Of
trouble. A lighting system had pre-
viously been installed there, which
failed to prove satisfactory, was us
dally out of order when most needed,
and was an unending source of trou-
ole and annoyance. We desire to
compliment both Mr.. Liolios and Mr..
Hawn on the successful installation
and satisfactory service Of the Delco
system.
