HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By Alice Afnold.)

Back, back again to the old mill ot
knowledge! But as everything has q
beginning so has it an ending, and our
vacation days are o'er. Glad to get
back? / should say we are, and ready
to start the new year with good resolu
tions, lots of pep, and some real get
down robustness determination. Mon
day every student returned with hap
py o-lucty smile, with the exception Of
II few who didn' know when to stop
eating candy, and still had the express
sion of tragedy on their faces.
Tuesday at noon the senior class was
waiting, waiting, waiting for the
Fresh The Freshies did not know it.
but when they got there they soon
found out that to every one of them
was due good snow bath, and some Of
it to eat, if you please, though it was
served in a rather crude manner. But
we gave them all their last initiation,
and now we have all our troubles off
our chests and our consciences.
And as a good bunch of little sports
they can't be beat-so-
Here's to the green little Frosh,
Whose mighty feelings we did squash.
But wen truly have to admit
They will have big place to sit
In our noted Hall of Fame.
For, believe me, want to tell you
This little class is certainly game.
All aboard for Aspen! Friday morn
ing both teams leave for the metropolis
Of Aspen on the Aspen branch limited.
We are wishing for victory and hoping
for luck But of course it is always
the best team that claims the victory.
We are going to claim that victory be-
cause we think we can. The time has
come to grab it. But if we don't, of
course we can smile, and if we do, we
will keep on smiling
The girls team regrets the loss OF
one of our dependable and skillful play
ers, Faye Smith, who has played jump
ing center on om team for the last two
seasons. We hope Faye will return.
Mr.. Mayer was absent Tuesday on
account of illness, and as the old sayiag
goes (onfy revised with apologies TO (f)
"'when the principals are away the
students will play So accounts for
the absence of McKeown just before
the tardy bell rang. Mr.. MeKeown,
while preparing to make speech, was
unexpectedly grabbed by a secret band
n paottses aAd carried to the snow
bathing grounds and given good rolf
ing in the field of white fakes.
The Frosh report they received a lot
of lollypops in their stockings, with tho
exception of John Hynes, who received
some Heinz pickles.
h eepAooorq received divinity,
they claim, and tits q divine class,
after ALL With some noted speakers
who will make their mark some day,
the Juniors say they received Oh,
fudge! What is the use to say more for
a class of good looking girls and-er-
er-handsome chapsf
The Senior class received stockings
filled to the brim with more hard nuts
to crack.
The faculty-ah, the faculty!-they
received some mistletoe.

Child Narrowly
Escapes Death

The 6-year.old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harrison Bowling. Of Rivefmines,
had narrow escape from death in
front of the Klein Grocery Co. about
5 o'clock last Saturday afternoon,
when the street along that block was
thoroughly congested with automo-
biles, as is usually the case on Satur-
day afternoon. The little one, with
her parents, had alighted from a car
just a short time before to do some
trading, being on their way to spend
Sunday with their parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Bowling, eight miles south
east of Pennington.
They were about ready to continue
their journey when the little girl dart
ed out to get in their machine, and
came in contact with Ford belonging
to Chas. Clevey and being driven by
his son very slowly. In fact the ma
chine had just left the curb, when the
child evidently was struck by the
right hand front mud guard. and the
front evidently brushed her face,
bruising her forehead cutting her low
er lip quite severely and loosening .
Iowerf ront tooth. Both knees were
also somewhat bruised.
| The little one was hurried to a doc
tors office, where he injuries were
treated, none Of which were found to
be serious. After the child's wounds
were dressed. the little one was able
| to proceed with its parents to visit its
grandparents, perhaps not realizing
what very narrow eacape from death
she had.

Real Need for a
Traffic Guard

The near tragedy that occurred last
Saturday afternoon on Columbia street
should be enough to convince the busi-
ness interests of Pennington. at least,
with the urgent need for some manner
of safeguarding the public against
Similar accidents in the future, especi-
ally in the block where that accident
occurred, which is the busiest and most
congested block in the city, especially
on Saturday afternoons.
Cars are accustomed to park there
several in depth. remaining Indefinite
ly, until traffic is often all but blocked.
Another thing, too. that makes the sit
uation worse is that in the middle of
the block is one Of the most used
street crossings in the city. Whether
or not this crossing was ever author
ized by city ordinance The Times is un-
able to say. Yet there is no reason to
believe that the elimination of such
CLOSING would materially improve the
| situation.
Anparentlv the best and simplest
solution of this problem is to have .

Daylight Saving VS..
\ Lapse Of Memory

Two Farmingtonians recently re-
turned home from more or less ex-
tended visits, one Of them stopping In
Chicago during his travels. and the
other going as far as New York City
Just how or why they made such
lengthy trips. during the present
ehardt len )ing" times, we did not stop
to inquire. But each told story SO
nearly similar, of.how they were af-
fected by the daylight saving" plan,
which is still in force in both the above
named cities, as to impress one that
such daylight savingp may work sue
cessfulIy for one who has been raised
on it,, that it is also quite likely ta
result in more or less loss Of daylight
to the stranger within the gates Of
those cities.
The Chicago visitor CHANGED to
think of purchase he desired to make,
just awhile before he was to join his
wife at the depot to catch train. BY
straining himself and catching a taxi,
he reached the depot about two min
utes in advance of the time his train
was scheduled to leave. Rushing. to
the gate, he found it closed, He then
made slide for the information de-
partment, where he hurriedly explain-
ed his troubles, and was gently eased
down with the information that his
train would not leave for an hour, in
accordance with the daylight saving
plan. He therefore had time to ad-
just his nerves, also his collar and
cravat.
The visitor to New York City, who
is not stranger to that route, under
stood the difference between our time
and eastern time, and at Pittsbure
had set his watch back an hour, and
naturally thought he then had New

Disappointment

The ball game Sunday afternoon be-

latter place, was great disappoint-
Inent to the Pennington players and
rooters, who were present in consider

team played such "rotten" ball has not
yet been satisfactorily explained, but
CERTAIN it is that practically every one
Of the players gathered to themselves

remained steadfastly with them

If such is fact, our boys should con-

interesting and the outcome in doubt

Opinion From the

Legal Department, State of Missouri,

August TO- 1921

Legal Department, State of Missouri,
City of Jefferson.
August 10, 1921,
Hon. w. E. Golfer,
Prosecuting Attorney,
Pennington, Mo.
Dear Mr.. Golfer:
Your letter of August 8th asks
whether election judges and clerks at
the special election held on August
End may obtain more than the per
per diem allowed by law where they
have served longer than eight hours at
labor.
It's the opinion of this department
that the per diem allowed by low re-
fers TO calendar day and not to any
particular hours or fractions thereof.
{ Yours very truly,
+ Jesse w. Barrett, Atty.-General.
Note-The above opinion was re-
[ceived by the prosecuting attorney,
who was requested to write to the at
ltorney general and get his opinion,
Various election judges and clerks
were not satisfied with the amount per
diem allowed by the County Court
which is So per day. 1t was their con-
tention that eight hours constituted q
days work and they requested pay
ment accordingly. The County Court
felt that the judges and clerks were
1sentitled to, more than So per day but
held that under the law they could moi
allow mere than the statute pre-
scribes.
