this city, being brought to the atten-
ton Of the County Court this week,
the following order was made:
"Fhat an order be issued to 0. j.
Mayberry, Treasurer of the City Of
Pennington, in the sum of $2,90O.56,
being the amount Of road taxes for
1920 collected on the real and personal
property in the City of Pennington
to be expended under the supervision
Of said city in improving and repair
ing any street forming part Of
continuous highway of said county,
leading through said city of Farm
ington; but no part of said fund shall
be used to pay damages incident to,
or costs of, establishing such road or
street"
This is most welcome news, as with
this assistance it is now probable
that the streets of this city will soon
be put in good condition. 1t is also
pleasing to note that the county and
city administration have Joined fore
es in purchasing and 69-100 acres
in the northeastern part of Farming
ton for the purpose Of opening rock
quarry for the crushing of rock for
road work. The county will install
the crusher, and the city will furnish
the power, while each will pay other
expenses necessary while working for
either of the half owners.
This land was purchased of A. X.
Hawn, for 5000, and has every ap-
pearance of being one of the best in
vestments that could have been pos
sibly made.

REMARKABLE THROUGHOUT

The Times editor had the pleasure
of visiting State Hospital No. 4 Mon
day, during the regular monthly
meeting of the Board of Managers of
that institution. During our brief
visit we secured much additional tes-
timony Of the fact, which had already
been frequently demonstrated, of the
remarkably successful and produc-
tive management of that splendid in
stitution, which leads all other State
institutions in genuine accomplish
ments. One may examine any or all
of the multiplicity of enterprises that
are being carried on there during the
year, and such inspection is certain to
result in the same verdict--watchful-
ness and efficiency.
In the biennial report ending Dec.
81, 1920, recently printed, the Stew
ards report shows a ret income from
farm products raised on the lands
owned and leased by that institution,
listed at price considerably below
what was then the market value, and
most of which products were used for
the upkeep of that institution, of
$S0,915.59. The cost of such produc-
tion in rent, labor, stock, ETC., was
$50,0i3.59, leaving a net profit of over
$4,000. These figures do not include
the profits from the large and wonder
fully productive gardens, the splen-
did orchard, the great production Of
canned fruits and vegetables, etc.
Another brief illustration is all we
have space for this week, which tends
to show the excellent management
everywhere there apparent: 103 ma
ture hens produced during the month
of January last 206 dozen eggs, the
lowest market price of which was
$92.70; $500 worth of capons were
also produced during that month. The
total expense of the above production,
which amounts to about $176, was on
ly $52.13, giving net profit of $l24.
Surely a course of training at State
Hospital No. 4 would be profitable
for anyone who thinks there is no mon
ey to be made in farming and other
production. That institution certainly
does make it pay.

ing in a smaller way at the public
crib, but it would save the city $500
or 5000 year and give it more money
to keep the streets in good repair.
And now let US take up the matter
of civic pride, Every citizen should
feel a pride in the appearance, clean
illness and health of the city and in
the economical and honest admins
tration and orderliness of tre city
government. We pay our Mayor
$3.50 year and our Board Of Alder
men-eight of them-$240 a year, or
$50 each. There is not probably one
Of them who could be induced to serve
the city for that small pittance, so
they must be prompted to accept the
responsibilities that go with these po-
sitions because of their pride in and
desire to serve the city and its best in
terests. We cannot imagine that any
of them has any Interior motive or
hope of selfish gain outside of this.
Then why accept these pittances in the
Illusion that they are being paid for
their work? Why not offer their SER
vices because of their pride in the
city's welfare and growth and their
desire to see its affairs honestly and
economically administered? You say
this is asking too much, that they
should be paid for their services :?
Then why not pay them a salary
commensurate with their duties? You
answer at once that the city can't af-
ford to do that. But does the pittance
paid them make them any better or
more responsible public servants than
if they were to take up this work
purely for the city's good?
We have many public spirited cit
izens who are not only giving their
time but their money for the city's
advancement and prosperity. Take
our Chamber of Commerce, for in
stance. 1t is composed of our best
and most enterprising business, pro-
fessional and trades people. They are
not only giving their time, energy and
thought to the welfare, advancement
and prosperity of our city, but their
money in the way of membership fees
to pay their way, actuated solely by
civic pride and the prosperity which
they hope to bring to the community
as whole. If they are doing this,
are there not any number Of them
who would serve the city in the con-
duct of its government as mayor or
aldermen for like purpose? 1t is
done in many small cities, why not in

Markings Of An
Excellent Law

There is much of merit in the coun-
ty school unit bill that is now being
considered in the Missouri Legisia-
ture. If good common sense is used
in the consideration of this proposed
law, then its passage would be sure
to result in great good and benefit to
a large percentage Of the people Of
rural Missouri. But already there is
a rider on that proposed measure,

Need of More
Conservation

THE municipal election will soon be
upon us, and a few thoughts on the
subject may be timely. Might not
our city government be reformed in
some way? Especially in the matter
of cost and the cutting down of over
head expenses? There is evidently
unnecessary expense somewhere, when
our municipal electric light plant
charges its customers the unusual
price of Is cents per k. W. Is the
management all that it should or
could be? We pointed out a short
time ago the cost to the city Of haul
ing coal from the electric railroad
station to the plant. In the semi-an-
nual financial statement just pub
lished we see that this one item Of
expense cost $572.74 for six months,
or $i145,54 for year. The remedy
to save this amount in the running
expense of the plant is simple, but
our city council doesn't seem to con-
slider it worth wl:ile. A switch from
the electric railway at the intersec-
tion of Columbia street and the street
running to the plant---a distance of
only about two blocks-would stop
that unnecessary expense annually of
more than $1,000, which has been
draining the city treasury for years.
Can't we elect a board of aldermen
who will push the consummation of
this suggestion and stop that leak?
From recent statement of the
electric light plant at West Plains
we CLEAN the fact that it furnishes
lights to its patrons at cents per
k. W., less than half the price we pay
in Pennington; also that there was a
credit balance of $4,000 at the close
of the fiscal year. Il must be eff
GENTLY managed. A little investiga-
tion into it's business methods might
throw some light OF how to economi-
cally manage municipal lighting
plant.
There are other leaks that could be
just as effectually stopped. For in
stance there are the offices Of city
clerk, collector and auditor, which
cost the city in the neighborhood of
$4,000 or more year, but of that we
have no way of determining, as the
semi-annual statement does not give
the amount of commission that either
the auditor or collector received. 1t
does give the fees of the city clerk,
however, which amount to S153.80
for the six months, o. 1907, so for a
year. There is just about work
enough in these three offices to leis-
urely occupy tie regular office hours
of oaes competent clerk and account
ant. Why not consolidate these three
offices and pay some competent man
fees and commissions that would ag-
gregats about S1,5Oo a year, or bet
ter, q fixed salary of that amount,
with all fees and commissions to be
surnel into the city treasury, and OBJ
Iigate him to devote Ill his time to the
duties of his office? OF course this
would lessen the number of men feed

Emery-BrOwn Co. to
Open Department
Store In SkOWhegan

An event of some importance to
the Emery Brown people will be the
opening of their new department store
in Skowhegan on Friday morning.
which will be preceded by reception
to the public on Thursday evening.
Herbert /. Emery. the senior mem
Der of the firm, when asked about the
new enterprise Wednesday said that
many Skowhegan people had expressed
wish that the firm open a store in
Skowhegan and an opportunity present.
cd Itself, so when the Dyer Dry Goods
co. at the corner of Madison avenue
and Water street sold out and the
Emery-Brown Co. secured the store.
The place has been thoroughly remod-
eled and entirely new fixtures, new
wall cases with plate glass fronts,
new counter cases and an excellent
Indirect lighting system installed.
The basement has been thoroughly
built over and painted all in white
and there will be kept the domestics,
including cottons, draperies, towels,
toys and games. On the street floor
will be the silks and dress goods, in
fants' department, underwear, hosiery
and readymade department which will
include coats. suits, dresses. waists
and other articles of womens wear
There viii also be a fine line of wash
goods, toilet goods and jewelry In
fact the SlSowhegap store will prac-
tically duplicate the stock carried in
the Waterville store.
Roy Lancaster, who has been in the
basement department in this city for
the past five years, will manage the
new store. Mr. Lancaster has had 20
years experience in the business and
formerly lived in Skowhegan, so it will
be going home to him.
