CONDEMNS USE OF "JEW" AS
NAME

Reform Leader Advocates Sunday

of Church of American Israelites."
Says Zionism and Americanism Are
Irreconcilable.
New York q. C. B.)-"The use of
the word Jewry' has no right to exist
in our country" "The word tsyna-
gogue or temple has no religious
meaning for u.s." g. let us pro-
coed logically and practically to the
formation Of the Reform Church Of
American Israelites." Z" break
with our weakened trucking to
mere tradition and boldly declare that
American Israel will henceforth OBJ
serve Sunday as it's day of rest and
worship" "Here is our Palestine and
we know no other. Zionism
and Americanism are not now, and
never will be, synonymous"
In these words we give, to our mind,
fairly, the gist of the practical sug-
gestions and concrete premises made
by Isaac w. Bernheim Of Louisville,
Kentucky, in a pamphlet entitled
''The Reform Church Of American
Israelities," which is being widely
circulated in this country.
Mr.. Bernheim quotes the latest edi-
tions of the Century and Standard
Dictionaries to prove the world con-
siders "Jew" a synonym of what is
corrupt, crafty, mean. Sin BRIEF" he
saws. the word Jew in it's
general application and acceptation
no longer denotes a religious and
ethical platform, but has degenerated
into a term of reproach, or has be-
ooy,oo mar voio11,onoo -
Submitting as supporting evidence
Morgenthau's statement in "World's
Work" "that Americans see in the
Zionist movement menace to Ameri-
can solidarity" Mr.. Bernheim re-
moulds a worn argument on the in
compatibility of Zionism and Amer
icanism and bespeaks his readiness 'to
turn over to them (Zionists), to their
sive use Of the word Jew and the
term 'Jewry'."
The pamphleteer understands the
history of Reform Judaism as having
been "a process Of disentangling the
or Oriental" To change the Saturday
Sabbath to a Sunday Sabbath would
be but another step in the same di-
rection, according to the writer.
A United States post card is in
serted in the pamphlet urging read
ers in agreement with Mr.. Bernheim's
propositions to signify their intention
Of joining his "Church." It appears
that the author of the pamphlet is
making a serious attempt to replace
the present Union of Hebrew Con-
gregations, before whom his address,
now printed in pamphlet form, was
originally delivered, by a reform
church" in whose official title the
word "Jew" is not to appear.

Prepare for
the Future

The recent agricultural and live
stock exhibit in Pennington was
great success, ranking far above the
average county exhibit of this kind,
and clearly demonstrated that in such
displays st. Francois county is
far, in..the lead Of most counties in
the State. 1t is therefore evident
that such exhibits should be made a
regular annual event hereafter.
In the proper carrying out Of this
idea is it not apparent that this is the
proper time to start work for such an
annual exhibition even on a larger
scale than was the late exhibition. 1t
appears to The Times that this is the
time to start the ball rolling to secure
a permanent exhibition place in this
city, where Improvements can be made
at any time they may be feasible and
practical.
The large lot belonging to Mrs.
Jennie 7. Forster. containing two
acres, just south of the Christian
church, would make an ideal exhibi-
tion ground, being almost centrally To-
Gated, and we doubt not that such To-
cation could be purchased at a reason
able figure for that purpose, Then
improvements could be made whenever
they may become necessary. Liberal
donations could doubtless be secured
from different sources, including the
county court, the mining corporations,
the Farm Bureau and others.
1t is very seldom that anything of
value is secured without an effort. Is
such a promotion worth an effort? IL
it is, then the live, enterprising citi-
zens Of Pennington should get busy
and put such a plan "over the top"

Experience

High school foot ball players and
rooCers, to the number of several au-
tomobile loads, who journeyed to Per-
ryville Friday and played St. Vincent
team a return game, in which they
were again victorious, were not so
successful in making the return trip.
A number Of car loads started for
home Immediately after the close of
the game, ms1 shey tnaIe the return
trip nicely.
But the ST. Vincent team and root
ers had gone to considerable pains to
entertain their guests at dance, so
many remained on that account.
Soon after Z o'clock, however, threat
ening clouds began to roll up from
the west, and Prof. Haldaman at once
concluded they had best be "on their
way, and gave directions to that eff

A hard rain began before they
reached Ste. Genevieve, but to that
place they had no difficulty, as they
were on rocks. But from there to the
rock roads of this county was the real
"tug of war" for them, which fact
was fully appreciated before leaving
Ste. Genevieve. But, after equipping
their tires with chains, the start was
made on the dreaded journey, and it
soon became apparent to all that their
misgivings had not been in the least
exaggerated.
AS the rain continued to beat, those
dirt roads became slick and slicker,
so that the party was put to every ex-
pedient in their power frequently to
make the grades. On some of the
hills the Fords, which were in the ma

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

The Pennington Public Schools dis
missed at the usual hour on Tuesday
afternoon, for the remainder of the
week, in order that the teachers may
have an opportunity to attend the
State Teachers Association in ses-
sion in st. Louis. Every Pennington
teacher is enrolled as a member of
that association and all, with possi-
bly, one exception, will attend the st,
Louis meeting.
The teachers and pupils in the
High School, as we'll as many of the
parents, are distressed because Moses
Hunt, the faithful and efficient jani-
tor in that building, has found it nec-
cssary to resign his position on &C.
count of failing health. Moses has
served many years as janitor in the
different school buildings of Farming
ton. For the past two years he has
been engaged in other work in St
Louis, but returned to Pennington
just before the opening of school in
September and accepted his old posi-
tion at the High School and was rem

Brings Suit
for Damages

While in st. Louis last.week attend
ing to business, John Neidert, the un-
dertaker, met with near serious ac-
cident. In attempting to get on a
street car in the West End, John was
struck by an automobile and thrown
several feet, bruising him up consider
ably. 1t appears almost miraculous,
however, that he was not killed.
In company with Earl McAtee, John
was attempting to get on street car
when the accident occurred. An au-
tomobile drew up at the curb beside
them until the street car moved on,
and John and Earl were in the act of
mounting the street car steps when
another auto dashed by, without any
apparent effort to stop. Earl managed
to get out of it's way, but the machine
caught John, on his own grounds, as
above stated.
John arrived home with considere-
able limp in his walk, and stated that
he had suffered considerable pain
from the accident. He left the case in
the hands of an attorney, with in
structions to bring suit against the
criminally careless auto driver. Ills
many friends here hope and believe
he will receive suitable damages for
the accident in which he was in no
way to blame.

Down to the
Dregs of Poverty

One of the most glaring instances
of poverty and absolute want was
disclosed in Juvenile Court last week,
wher there appeared before Probation
Officer R. C. Tucker Mrs. Tom Broom
field and five children. The children
were aged three, six, ten, fifteen ana
seventeen, the oldest, boy, being by
former husband. While the chill
dren were thinly clad and not scrupu-
lously clean, their appearance was re-
markably good when the life that had
been forced upon them is considered.
Mrs. Broomfeld recently left her
hovel, near town, on receiving warn
ing that an officer was coming to take
her children away from her. For sew
eral nights they hid and slept in the
woods, with nothing to protect them
but leaves, even though the weather
had turned somewhat colder. 1t was
while the wife and children were thus
hiding out that the husband bundled
up the few clothes and provisions they
had left in the hovel, and disappeared

NGToN FRANCOIS COUNTY MISSOURI FRIDAY NOVEMBER
Stand Loyal to
the Home Town

Much has been said and written in
the past, and much more will be said
and written in the future, as to the
supreme advantages of loyalty and
steadfastness to the home town, and
the chances are that everything that
has been so said and written is liter
ally true Everything that is Of ad-
vantage to the town in which you own
property, or even in which you re-
side, is of direct and positive advant-
age to you. And another thing in this
regard is just as apparent to the OBJ
server. The towns that are blessed
with the most home loving and loyal
citizens are invariably the best and
most progressive towns to be found.
In this connection, The Times again
wishes to call attention of the appar-
ent oversight, or forgetfulness, of a
real asset to Pennington. That is the
electric railway, which connects this
city with the outside world. Many of
our citizens appear to continue to for
get the usefulness of that line to this
city, and perhaps never think, when
they patronize the auto buss lines
from this city to Flat River that they
are taking the price of their fare
from the electric line and giving it to
something that is of no real benefit to
this city.
Many also seem careless of the fact
that in order to continue to operate at
profit the electric line needs all such
fares, and that if their business con-
tinues to fail to produce dividends, as
the operating company now contends
it is, that there is a possibility of the
line being abandoned. That railway
needs, and is deserving of every pos
sible fare between this city and Flat
River. There is no question about
that. 1t is real convenience-an as
set-to this city. What would we do
without it? Should it discontinue op-
Grating, what do you suppose the bus
fare between the points named would
be?
The Times would love to keep it
ringing necessarily in the ears of ev-
cry patron of the auto buses that
they are not upholding the best inter-
ests of their home town in thus be-
slowing their patronage, The Times
hopes that every fair-minded citizen,
who has been patronizing the buss
lines, will give this matter earnest con-
sideration. We will then be satisfied
with their conclusions.

strong line but were unable to solve
Farmington's passes,
When the second half begun St.
Vincent snapped in with terrific force
and by consistent line smashes and
end runs carried the ball down the
field in spite of Farmington's best eff
forts. Garner was temporarily out on
account of injuries and his loss was Sc
riously felt in the line. In ten min
utes time St. Vincent had carried the
ball across Farmington's goal twice
on straight foot ball and kicked both
goals, making the score 10 to IA in fa-
vor of Pennington. They did not stop
at that. They inaugurated another
procession toward Farmington's goal
and it looked for a time as though
they would score the third touchdown.
Pennington, however, frightened up
and held them on the ten yard line.
From that perilous position they
kicked out of danger, again held st.
Vincent for downs and by pretty pass
es and smashing line plays advanced
| the ball to within three yards of st.
Vincent's goal before the close of the
third quarter. On the first play in the
fourth quarter Simms dived over st.
Vincent's first line of defense for a
| touchdown, from which he kicked goal,
making the score 26 to IA in Farming
tons favor. The rest of the quarter
was clearly Farmington's, for they
were able to not only hold st. Vincent
but to advance the ball consistently.
A forward pass from the fifteen yard
line, Denman to Gibson, resulted in
the fifth touchdown for Pennington.
The goal was missed, leaving the final
score, Pennington 80, st. Vincent IA

threatening storm that started the
Pennington delegation home at an
early hour.

On Thursday, Oct. 81, the Senior
Glass Of Bonnie Terre High School,
accompanied by their teacher, Miss
Rubye Johnson, visited State Hospi-
tai No. 4, the Presbyterian Home and
the County Infrmary in pursuit of
their studies in Sociology. While in
Pennington the class and teacher
made social call on Pennington
High School. They arrived just be-
fore the close of school and were en-
Enthusiastically received by the local
student body. The usual compliment
tary "yells" were exchanged, after
which the class was shown through
the high school building. Homer Ap-
pleberry, formerly student in Farm
ington High, was one of the number
and while here his many friends of
former days were pleased to meet
him.
In addition to the teacher, Miss
Johnson, the class members were as
follows:
Halle Turley, Thelma Wheeling,
Erma East, Beulah Lively, Helen
Yates, Mabel Cruncleton, Nellie Ev-
