Creamery With
Fine Equipment

Schramm Creamery Company have
completed installing an additional lot
of machinery in their already we'll
equipped creamery. They have added
another pasturizer of the latest and
most improved type, making now two
of these pasturizers in use. They also
have installed new Fairbanks Morse
oil engine and a new 12-ton York re-
frigerating machine to take care of
the ice cream freezing and their new
ly built hardening room for the hard
ening and storing Of ice cream. They
also have put in another large milk
and cream storage room, making four
of these refrigeratedstorage rooms in
connection with their creamery; also a
lot of other small machinery and inn
provernsnts.
This vim make the Schramim'S
Creamery one of the best equipped and
most sanitary plants in Southeast
Missouri and will enable them to add
great deal to their already large
output of Glover Leaf Ice Cream and
Creamery Butter which is known for
its high quality and purity all over st.
Francois county and with quite large
shipping trade outside of the county.
Schramm Creamery Company has
built up its creamery and ice cream
business like their other lines, on
quality. They try to put out only the
very best. All cream received is thor
oughly tested for quality, then pas
turized and cooled in refrigerated
rooms before being used, They use
only fresh, sweet cream and milk in
their ice cream which is handled un.
der strict sanitary conditions,
The public is invited to go through
their plant at any time.

Stills Are
Still Brewing

Sheriff John G. Hunt and deputies
were out again the last Of the week
on another raiding expedition in
Bonne Terre and vicinity. They report
fair success, having flushed and cap
tured two stills and operators, to-
gether with more or less of their pro-
duct. On the farm adjoining R. G.
Pigg's place, short distance from
Bonne Terre, they gathered in still
that was being operated by Harry Go
dad. They also found there eight bar
rels of mash lapd half gallon of pure
corn whiskey.
AS usual, the operator and his as
sistants were shy on conversation re-
garding their operations, but Mrs. Co
dad did not seem averse to going into
details regarding the business, which,
she stated, was being operated on
shares by her husband, he getting one
third for the production Of the home
brew, while r. C. Pigg received two
thirds of the product. This informa-
tion will be surprise to many, as Mr..
Pigg has generally been regarded as
law-abiding citizen. Pigg and Godad
both gave bond for their appearance
for trial at circuit court, which con-
venes next week.
The officers then returned to Bonne
Terre, where they raided a place con-
Quoted by a man named Williams,
where they captured another still,
four barrels Of mash and two gallons
and three quarts of pure corn "juice".
Williams also gave bond for his APP
pearance for trial. The officers then
called it day and returned home.
On Monday night, however, they re-
turned to Bonne Terre and bombarded
the soft" drinks emporium of Mike
Vallo, where they succeeded in lasso-
ing and leading back to the Sheriff's
office gallon and half of pure corn
whiskey, six drops of which is said to
be sufficient to make jack rabbit
chase a bull dog, with the dog in the
lead Vallo also gave bond.
Some of Sheriff Hunts friends say
that be can traak = whisksy still by
the rumble Of its brew, which to him
sounds like a near approaching cy-
clone, and that he always succeeds in
corraling the discordant elements
when he starts out on such a trail.
While Bonne Terre and vicinity fur
nishes some splendid rendezvous for
stilling whiskey, there are perhaps
many places outside of st. Francois
county that would be more remote
from the law while Sheriff Hunt is on
guard. Better move on, if it is im-
possible to quit that business, which
can bring only trials and tribulations
in it's wake.

Street Work Is
Now Under Way

The work of street improvement in
Earmington was begun Wednesday,
when the big road roller was put to
work spiking Columbia street. The
spilSing will be followed by dragging
end smoothing, and that will be fol-
lowed by coating Of chats, which will
be thoroughly rolled, after which a
good heavy sprinkling Of oil will fin
ish the work.
This work will be carried forward
with the greatest possible speed and
the same program of road work will
be carried out on all the main streets
of 'Farnihgton, Many think such
work win fail to sustain the necessary
travel for any length Of time, but this
is the program mapped out by High
way Engineer Francisco as the best
he could offer, considering the limited
amount Of money at hand for such
work, and his experiences, as a success
full road builder certainly entities his
Plan to q fair test.

For Sweet
Charity Sake

The ladies of The Iron Mountain
Club, of Iron Mountain, are preparing
to send out quite a number of invita-
tions to a Charity Dance, which will
be given at the club house at that
place on the evening of May 10th. The
price for the evenings splendid enter
tainment which is being prepared, in
cluding refreshments, will be So to The
gentlemen, which includes their COM
pany. The ladies of the club are us
ing every effort to make this an oc-
casion that will be eagerly anticipated
and will doubtless be long remembered
as an unusually enjoyable affair.
AS the proceeds are to be used for
sweet charity's sake, there will doubt
less be but few invitations received
that will not be eagerly accepted
This entertainment is one of the plans
being worked out by the ladies OF
The Iron Mountain Club to raise mon
ey for the relief and possible cure OF
two children there who are seriously
afflicted. One is the 13-year-old
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Ed Enloc,
who has never walked, and the other
is the 9-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charlie Dawson, who is bright and ro-
bust, but who gets about only with
great difficulty. 1t is the opinion Of
experts that both these children can
be cured of their affliction and be
made sound and well by an operation
IL is with this noble end in view that
the ladies of The Iron Mountain Club
will give the Charity Dance on the
goth inst.

Great Industrial
Gusher Blows Out

The Industrial Transportation Co.,
which recently opened branch store
at this point, has apparently gone out
of business, with everyone having had
any connection with it "holding the
bag, except the few promoters of the
"get-rich scheme" and the stock sales
men, who must have retired from the
game considerably to the good.
The automatic tube that was to
bring to stockholders their dividends
in an endless flow, is now open at both
ends, and will doubtless remain so to
the end of the story. In fact the story
is already completed, SO far as the
stockholders are concerned. They will
not receive a. penny in return for their
Investment. At least that is the opin-
ion OF those who perhaps have travel
ed the same rugged way. Not a pen
ny is now to be seen in that pneumatic
tube, and doubtless it will remain alb
solutely "clean" until the word "finis"
is written to this promotion, which has
been demonstrated to be the premium
winner for crookedness.
The final chapter in this story was
enacted Monday morning in the
building that had for the past few
months held the small stock of gro
ceries and fixtures which had been
opened there in return for the $1l 900
taken out of this community. Two or
three men from st. Louis (enough to
lick the platter of any crumbs that
might otherwise remain) appeared
there about 10 o'clock, with but lit
tie or no publicity, and proceeded to
turn over the stock and fixtures to the
highest bidder, which chanced to be
Gay & Kendall, an Ironton firm, to
which place the stock will be moved.
The bidding was done by Fred Kendall,
and it was knocked off to him for an
even $1,000. This included everything
but cash register, which is said to
have been new when installed here a
little while ago at cost of $525. This
was bid in by the w. R. G. Co., cash
register company of st. Louis, for
| $165.
1t may be several weeks before this
community will ripen for another pro.
motion scheme. At least it will re.
quire an unusually oily-tongued
stranger to raise any considerable
amount here soon to put over another

Co., racing pools and combinations, ol

Mayfield College
Not to Be Moved

A committee appointed at special
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
last Thursday evening went to Mar
tle Hill Tuesday to meet with the
board of managers of the Will May
field College at that place, prepared
to make an offer if that institution
should be moved to Pennington. Such
action was taken because of overtures
that had reached this city that such
college was to be moved, and that a
majority of those in control favored
Pennington as the new location.
The committee, consisting of Mayor
Tetley, Floyd Davis and Lyman Reed,
found that large majority of the
board of managers were in favor of
keeping that school where il is. Wheth-
er some of them had suddenly had a
change of vision in the matter, The
Times is not informed. 1t seems quite
probable, however, that the tempest
in teapot" was largely the result of
local disagreement, which perhaps
infected, to some extent, the board Of
managers.
The committee brought back re
port of having been received in most
hospitable manner by the citizens of
Marble Hill. But they also positively

Notice to Motor
Vehicle Owners

The Secretary of State has notified
all the local officers that there are
many persons in this county who are
operating automobiles and other motor
vehicles without 1921 license tags on
cars, and without having taken out
license for this year, and, of course,
we are directed to arrest and prose-
cute such persons. The law requires
two license tags on each motor vehi
Gle, one on the front and the other on
the back thereof, conspicuously dis
played, and anyone who fails to have
1921 license tag both Oh the front
and back of his machine at this time
is violating the law.
Many persons are alleged to be run
ming motor vehicles with the license
tag of another car thereon. This is a
more serious offense than running
without any tag on the motor vehicle.
Many persons are also alleged to be
running motor vehicles with q 1920
license tag thereon. This is the same
as having no license at all.
1t is d violation of the law to run q
motor vehicle without the lights being
adimmed' after night, and all persons
should avoid the use of strong lights
lit is sincerely hoped that all per,
sons viii take due notice of the re-
quMements of the law and goverr
themselves accordingly.
Respectfully submitted,
W. L. GOLFER,
Prosecuting Attorney.

onstration material, twenty head o.
beef and dairy cattle, and staff OF
speakers representing the Missouri
College of Agriculture, and the pro-
gressiye livestock associations Of the
State, will visit thirty-nine Missouri
towns from May Bird to June 18th, in
elusive. This is the most notable Sc
ries of extension schools yet under
taken by the Missouri Agricultural
Extension Service and is made possi-
BILE only by the hearty cooperation Of
four Missouri railroads. This special
will be at Bismarck May 11th.
The cattle carried by this special
will be used in demonstrations of the
benefits to be gained by the most skill
full management of livestock under ac'
tual farm conditions-better feeding
as well as better breeding. Afternoon
and evening meetings will be held
Arrangements will be made that meet
ings will be held on schedule time
rain or shine. The demonstrations will
be held under cover in case of bad
weather. "The programs will be short
and snappy," says P. H. Ross, assist
ant director of the Agricultural Ex.
tension Service, who will be in person
al charge of the livestock special
Each talk and demonstration viii b
businesslike and to, the point. Ample
time win be given for discussions j
which local livestock men will partici
pate. Local and individual livestock
problems will be taken up and the full
est possible answers given to ques
tions which will be freely invited.
"No fancy stock will be taken OF
this car, but only the kind Of stocl
that it is practical and possible to pro
duce on Missouri farms. So far al
possible, each program will be adapt
ed to meet the needs of the particular
community and arrangements for def

ADVERTISING In THE
COUNTRY WEEKLY

Advertising in the country weekly
is the most valuable advertising in
the world. Experts say it is not only
the most valuable but the most scien-
ti1ic advertising in the world. Adj
yertising in the magazines has to be
general, for the reason that the ay-
erage magazine that you receive to-
day was set in type several weeks
ago and the advertising copy was
probably prepared several weeks be-
fore that. This meaEs that adver-
tisers in the magazines have to an
ticipate conditions several weeks in
advance Of the time the copy is pre-
pared.
This is not SO with advertising in
the country weekly, for the country
weekly has the advantage over the
magazine in that the weekly circu-
lates in a comparatively small ter
ritory and the name of the merchant
or the business man who is selling
the goods can be placed in the adj
vertisement. This is impossible in
magazine advertising, which covers
sometimes the whole nation.
The weekly newspaper also is con-
sidered the best advertising medium
in the world by expert advertisers for
the reason that it has a more init
nate association with the family
than a magazine or daily news
paper
No local marchant can afford no,
to advertise in weekly newspapers Of
the better class. 1t is sad common
tary upon small town business men
that they don't see the advantage to
them of carrying an advertisement in
the small town paper every single
week. Such an advertisement is the
cheapest salesman that the merchant
can employ The money spent in
advertising in the better class Of
weekly newspapers is an investment
and not an expense; and it is the
best paving investment that the mer-
chant can make; but not one in a
thousand publishers of the weekly
papers is compensated anywhere near
what he is worth to the merchants
and to the community in which he
lives and to whose interests he dedi-
Gates his life. Every editor of a
weekly newspaper is constantly work
ing in behalf Of every merchant in
his community. whether that mer-
chant patronizes the local paper OF
not; but every merchant of every
community, unfortunately, does not
ave the business common sense and
the business foresight TO see that il
is to his own personal advantage to
help support the country editor by
advertieing telling the people in the
newspaper what he has, how it can
be uRed and what it costs.--Newark

SOME CENSUS FIGURES

1t is a remarkable fact that New
York State, with its more than TO-
100000 population, twice as large
as that of some European nations,
has a rural population very little
larger than the rural population Of
Tennessee. The census figures show
1,794,735 rural population for New
York and l,726,659 for Tennessee.
More than half of the entire popu-
lation Of New York is in the great
city, clustered about the mouth of the
Hudson river. Greater New York's
population in the census is $780, GAS.
Buffalo, the next largest city in the
state, has 506,770 population. Roches-
ter comes next, with 295,750; SYRIA
cuse is third, with 171,716. Only two
others, Albany and Yonkers, have
over 100000 population.
Possibly there is no other similar
area in the world where so large a
proportion of the people dwell in one
city as in New York state. The pop
ulation Of England in 1911 was 34,-
g45,290, with 4,521 ,685 in the city Of
London England has no other city
except Birmingham with popula-
don Of more than million, but it
has great many cities and large
towns, And England had a larger
percentage of urban population in
l911 than any other nation in the
world. The total urban population
in 1911 was 1871 per cent. Of the
whole,
The population Of London here
given is that within county boun-
diaries. The real city had 1881 1858
population in 1911
The area of the State Of New York
is 49,204 square miles, very little
smaller than that of England, which
is 50,874 square miles. The area OF
Tennessee is 42,022 square miles
which would make it appear that
Tennessee's rural population is really
larger in proportion to area than that
of New York.-Nashwlle Banner
