Two Biggest Days
i'm Pennington

Arrangements are now complete for
two big, full days Of enjoyment in
Pennington next Friday and Satur-
day, Oct. 21st and 22nd, the occasion
being a homecoming and a st. Fran
co.'s County Agriculture and Live
Stock Show. Many former residents
are expected from distance. and the
attendance of thousands from all
parts of the county has been prepared
for and is earnestly expected. So that
these should, and doubtless will prove
to be, red-letter days for all who at
tend.
Splendid live stock and agricul-
tural exhibits are assured. Judging
of live stock will be in progress both
days, and the exhibits will be open to
inspection throughout both days.
The Amusement committee has ar
ranged for decorated automobile pa
rade, for which first, second and third
prizes will be awarded. This parade
is scheduled to start at 3 o'clock Fri
day afternoon, and will be of unusual
interest. Beginning at the same hour
the North and South Ward school
children will march around the square,
singing songs appropriate to the oc-
casion.
At 1880 o'clock the same evening
the High School pupils will indulge
in carnival parade. while the De-
Soto Cornet Band will give a concert
in the pavilion in the court house
square.
A feature that is expected to add
much interest and enthusiasm will be
the awarding of silver loving cup to
the community securing the largest
number of ribbons, the cup to be the
property of the winners until the fair
is held next year, when it will again
be awarded in like manner.
The Christian Science hall has been
secured for the accommodation Of
those bringing their dinners, or, if an
out-ofNdoors eating place is preferred,
the lots just across the street from
there will be equipped and reserved
for such purpose.
Everything sillbe free, No admis-
sion or entry fee will be charged any
where, yet hundreds of dollars in
awards will be disbursed to the win
ners in the various contests.
! While the Pennington merchants
and business men have provided most
of the funds necessary for the occa-
sion, this will be a real county fair.
The County Court has voted liberal
contribution to the funds, and every
citizen of the county is not only in
vited. but urged, to be present and
actively participate.

Looking for
More Thrills

Sheriff Hunt received a message
from st. Louis Wednesday evening to
look out for and detain three youths,
who were headed this way in a Cad
allac car. The same message was re-
ceived in DeSoto ten minutes after
the car had passed that point. So the
Sheriff set himself to guard the road
they must come, which passes the
jail. After stopping and inspecting
the occupants of several cars, the
right one was found, and the st.
Louis parties were notified that the
lads were here. The request then
came to hold them until the father
and mother of one of the youngsters
could reach here. which they did
about four o'clock yesterday morn
ing
In the meantime Sheriff Hunt and
the four lads awaited their coming in
the Sheriff's office, where the cul-
prits had an opportunity to think over
their escapade, so that when the par
ents arrived, at least their son was
ready for the trip home, without coax
ing. But the father first put some
pointed questions, asking if he had
been mistreated in any way, which
was eagerly defined by the son. But
the father persisted in saying that il
he wished to continue his way, they
had brought some extra clothing fol
him, and would supply him with somt
money, but that he would take the ca
home with him. But the first nigh
out and several hours of "repose" il
chairs in the Sheriff's office, had ev
identity given all the boys a new view
point. At least they all seemed anx
ious to return to their homes, TO
which they made start at an earl
hour yesterday.

Judges Secured for the Show

Word was received Wednesday that
w. L. R. Perry, of the Missouri State
Poultry Association at Mountain
Grove, will be in Pennington next
week to judge the poultry exhibit. Mr..
Perry is recognized as being one of
the best poultry judges in the state.
From reports coming in there will be
an excellent poultry show. The Sc
curing of Mr.. Perry as judge should
induce the poultry raisers to enter
their birds in the show.
Arrangements have also been made
to secure E. M. Harmon from Colum-
bia to judge the dairy cattle. Mr..
Harmon is the dairy specialist from
the extension service of the College
of Agriculture. His work in dairying
as county agent and as specialist
from the college has secured recogni-
tion of high standing from different
sections of the United States. The
members of the calf clubs are FORUM
ate in having Mr.. Harmon to Judge
their animals. This will afford them
an excellent opportunity to learn the
characteristics of a good dairy COW
and to get some excellent points on
feeding and care of dairy stock. Also
those breeders with more experience
win be able to pick up thing or two
that will be worth something to
them.
| J. r. Richards, graduate of the
College of Agriculture, and a breeder
of pure bred hogs and cattle. will be
here to judge the beef cattle, hogs and
mules. Mr.. Richards comes well rec
| commended as a Judge. He has beer
doing quite little judging work the
past two years.

Who Will Repre-
sent This District?

AS the time for the assembling OF
the Constitutional Convention draws
nearer, the question of who should
represent this Senatorial District in
that badly becomes more and more
pressing and important. The Times
believes that the people generally
realize at least something of the i'm
portance of selecting the right kind of
a man to represent them in that con-
vention. On the quality of the work
that will there be performed will de-
pend the growth and development OF
this commonwealth for many years to
come.
Realizing these things. many citi-
zcns throughout this Senatorial Dis
trict, which is composed of St. Fran
co.'s, Jefferson, Ste. Genevieve, Madi-
SON and Perry counties, have begun
to look around for suitable material
to fill this important position. A few
names have been suggested, but the
one that has met with most general
approval in this community is that of
Hon. Jerry B. Burks, of this city.
Mr.. Burks is not only exceptionally
well versed in the law, but also has
exceptional insight into the needs OF
constitutional government. He is a
student of such needs and his ideas
along this line are sound and far
reaching. His selection would give
this District representative in thu
Constitutional Convention that woult
be a safeguard to the whole people
and there would be no call for an!
apologies being made for him.

More Doe Run
Litigation

There were six law suits filed
against the Doe Run Lead Co. on last
Tuesday, in the circuit court of this
county, involving in the aggregate
about $50O,000.
The plaintiffs are: Robert Holmes,
Belle r. Holmes, ]. Howard Holmes,
Florence Holmes Woodruff, Isabel
Holmes Keech, and Robert Holmes
and j. Howard Holmes, trustees, un-
der the will of John A. Holmes de-
ceased. ...
The plaintiffs, in their bill in
equity, claim that the net dividends
heretofore declared were, by the
Board of Directors of the Doe Run
Lead Co., to be paid in "stock divi-
dends," but assert that this was not
done; demand was made upon the
secretary of this compt1y to issue to
Robert Holmes " shares, to Belle r.
Holmes 1880 1-2 shares, to j. How
ard Holmes IS 1-2 shares, to Florence
Holmes Woodruff 13 1-2 shares, to
Isabel Holmes Keech 13 1-2 shares
and to Robert Holmes and ]. Howard
Holmes, Trustees, 72 shares. This
demand was refused, and then the six
suits in equity to compel the issuance
of the stock were filed. The par value
of each share is $100.
These suits are the outgrowth OF
series of litigations by Robert
Holmes, of St. Louis. and his family
growing out of the continuous al
legged improper management of this
company by the majority stockhold
ers through their board of directors
and the alleged methods by which
they acquire and maintain such ma
iority. ....
