An Improved and
ENLARGED Business

Jacob Helber is making marked i'm
in his store, on East Col
umbia street. The main store room
of this enormous establishment has
been greatly enlarged and improved.
1t has also been lightened by having
the ceiling and floor of the second
story torn out and turned into mez-
canine floor, which Odds much to the
general tone of the splendid improve
ments.
Ed. Holler, who will be in more or
less active charge of the enlarged and
improved business, said they intended
to completely rcstock the establish
ment, which will require several car
loads of goods. To indicate some
what the immensity of the improved
store, q fifty foot show case occupies
part of the side of the room and abb
soluteIy fails to impress one with its
unusual length.

Important Data
for Taxpayers

Last week The Times printed an
important document, that should be
of much interest to all taxpayers. 1t
was the Apportionment of School
Funds of St. Francois County for 1921.
1t is long compilation of figures, but
each set of figures should be of inter
est to all.
This tabulation shows. among other
things, the number of pupils enrolled
in all the different districts in the
county, both white and colored; daily
attendance; number Of teachers in the
different schools; valuation of proper
ty; school tax levy; estimated taxes
for present year; amount on hand Ju-
ly /, last; apportionment of county
funds; apportionment of stcte school
moneys; total State end county ap-
portionment, and the name and ad-
dress of every clerk. 1t will be inval-
liable for reference, and should be
preserved.

A Peculiar
Coincidence

"Murder will out" is an old, and
many believe, true saying. At any
rate there are times when it seems
that "one's sins will find them out"
A case of this kind occurred in Farm-
ihgton last week, when a certain ga
rage was broken into and several ar
ticles were stolen, including about fif-
teen gallons of gasoline. Among the
articles taken was also water can,
with peculiar nozzle on it, which was
made under the direction of the own
er, and perhaps no one else has just
exactly that pattern of water can.
The next evening after the burglary
occurred a Ford car took fire imme-
diately in front of the home of the
owner of the garage that had been
burglarized. The car was completely
destroyed. The next morning the gen.
tleman who had been robbed stopped
to view the debris of the destroyed
car, when what was his astonishment
when he found in the litter his iden-
tical water cnn. At once 1t was clear
to him that the young fellow who was
driving that particular Ford when it
caught fire was the same fellow who
had robbed his garage. There were
two young lads in the car when the
catastrophe occurred, both of whom
perhaps participated in the robbery.
It further developed that the cul-
prit had taken the car out against
positive orders that he should not do
so. In fact the owner had emptied
the tank of gasoline to prevent the
boy using the car in his absence. So
in order to take a joy ride, contrary
to positive instructions, it was neces'
sary that he secure some gas, hence
he broke into the garage to secure IT.
thereby committing a crime, besides
violating the positive instructions OF
the car owner, who was out of town
This piece of criminality has caused
the uncle to lose his cGr, as well as
subjects the wayward lad to criminal
prosecution, providing the owner Of
the pilfered garage decides to bring
suit.
1t seems impossible for many youni
peopls to understand that the straigh
, way is the best way--that it is tn
only way to get anywhere worth while
Ones sins viii usually find them ou
and will bring them to sudden ant
humiIiating hault--to hault that ma,
mean blasted and ruined life TO
them.

"A Bootlegging
Class Raided

Sheriff John G. Hunt brought in six
young fellows from Bonne Terre We'd
nesday evening, charged with bootleg
ging. None of them appeared TO be
hardly more than twenty-one years
old. Several merchants and others OF
Bonne Terre came with the party and
qualified as bondsmen. signing the
bonds for all six of the accused for
81, 900 each.
The Sheriff holds warrants for four
other young men of that place, charg-
ed with similar offense against the
law. He was unable to find them
Wednesday, but returned yesterday,
expecting to bring them in. 1t would
appear that bootlegging Schools" are
in operation in Bonne Terre, as well
as being the home of many "gradu-
ates" from such school, as there are
number of old offenders there. But
this performance, of raiding "schoo"
of ten pupils at once is rather out OF
the ordinary.
Such condition would indicate
that there is great demand for boot
leggers in Bonne Terrc, and that
moonshine is also not difficult to
gather up in that locality. Either
that, or else it's condition is such as
to render prompt sale necessary, be-
fore the stuff begins to putrify, thus
making it impossible for the drinker
of bootleg spleen" to get within drink
ing distance of it. At any rate, ten
young bootleggers from one commun-
ity and at single drag, is "going
some"

Soul l-Stirring Re-
vival in Progress

The Community Revival Meeting
now in progress at the First M. Z.
Church is attracting good-sized aud
fences each night. Evangelist Odom
is preaching soul-stirring sermons
and is giving both the professed
Christians and the world-minded peo-
pie of this community many things
they may well think about. While he
handles his themes without gloves,
so to speak, he does it in a fair and
kindly way. 1t seems to be his one
great desire that this series of meet
ings prove helpful to the standard of
living in this community. r
As a means of advertising the meet
| ing and creating more interest in it,
one evening each week has been given
to the various wards'of the town at
which the residents of that particular
ward occupy seats specially reserved
for them and at which two or three
short talks are made by residents liv-
ing in the ward, telling why they pre-
fer living in their ward to any other
ward of the town. The plan has prov
en- very successful and interesting as
we'll. Tuesday night was First Ward
night, Wednesday Second. last night
Third and tonight Fourth. Saturday
; night will be Farmers Night when
talks will be made by some of the
farmers, telling why they prefer liv'
ing in the country to living in town.
This evening at o'clock a work
ers' luncheon will be held in the base
ment of the church to which you ar
invited to bring your lunch and atten'
if possible, and if you are anxious TO
the success of this effort for the bet
terment Of our community.

placed at 200. If you are not obligat
ed elsewhere, you are invited to al
tend the M. E. Sunday school. If yo

Bismarck Good
Roads Boosters

Another bunch of Bismarck good
roads boosters were here Monday to
interview the County Court regarding
needed improvement on the Bismarck
Leadwood road, which, members Of
the delegation said, was in no condi-
ton to go through the coming winter
season:
There Is no more active and wide
awake good roads community in the
county than is to be found in Bis
marck. They do not sit still and wait
for things to come their way. They
90 after them and consequently usu-
ally take them home with them. They
came to ask the County Court to dup
licate the contribution raised there for
putting this road in better condition.
They really wanted two dollars for ev-
cry one raised there for such purpose,
but this the Court could not allow
They promised, however, to duplicate
the contribution made there, and work
Of improvement will be started soon.

A condition almost of despair is in the
hearts of all. And this has happened
under the party which has always
boasted of creating the full dinner
pail and boasted of its business abil-
ity.
The people wanted a change-and
they got it.
And already they pray God to de-
liver them from Republican bondage.

Farm Bureau Notes
Soy Beans Becoming More Popular

Soy Beans Becoming More Popular
An increased acreage of soy beans
will be planted next year by st.
Francois county farmers. Some OF
the farmers who have been growing
soy beans are well pleased with them
and are planning on putting in a big
ger crop next year. This, among
other facts, was brought out Tuesday,
when D. w. Frear. Field Crop Spe-
cialist of the College of Agriculture,
was in the county holding field meet
ings on the growing of soy beans.
Soy beans are proving to be an ex-
cellent crop for feed, seed, and fertil-
izer. Soy bean hay (beans and for
age) has feeding value little high
er than alfalfa hay. Yields of from
Is to 25 bushels of seed per acre can
be grown. A yield of 2 or 8 tons of
hay per acre is not uncommon. Some
farmers that have been believers in
cowpeas, are turning their attention
to the growing of soy beans. There
are few, if any, advantages of grow
ing cowpeas rather than soy beans,
while in many respects. the latter IS
superior to the former. Soy beans
(grain) contain 29.1 per cent digesti-
BILE protein while cowpeas (grain)
contain 1853 per cent digestible pro-
tein. Soy bean hay contains 1916 per
cent digestible protein while COW pea
hay contains 9.2 per cent digestible
protein.
|. Sow beans produce larger tonnage
of hay per acre than does cowpeas
They will grow better on sour and wei
land than will cowpeas. They will re-
spond we'll to the application of lims
if the land is very sour. On lane
where no nodules. have been known tt
be present within the past four years
the seed or soil should be inoculated
A good place for soy beans in ro
. tation is after corn. They should b
followed with wheat. A soil that Il
deficient in nitrogen can be made NOR
, productive by the growing of a crol
r of soy beans and then by turning then

grown where the available nitrogel
is deficient, some good will result a

present will take nitrogen from tn
