Big Picnic at
Sundy's Garden

No arrangements will be made for
a public celebration of July Fourth In
Pennington. The nearest and best
celebration of that occasion will be
held at Sundy's Summer Garden,
where elaborate preparations are be-
ing made for a patriotic observance OF
the day.
This resort, which is now becoming
quite popular, under its progressive
and wide-awake management, is an
ideal location for just such celebra-
tions as many are given to looking
forward to on July Fourth. 1t is not
only located near the center Of st.
Francois county, making it accessible
to the entire qapalstion, but with the
present equipment of this resort, it is
almost an ideal place for the enter
tainment of large crowds, for the care
and convenience of which every prepa-
ration has been made.
Special preparations are being made
there to give the people real treat.
A band has been engaged for the day
and there will be splendid AMUSEMENT
and enjoyable pastime for everyone, as
Sundy Liolios never does things by
halves, but always enters upon his un-
dertakings in whole-hearted and de-
tarp,inad manner Therefore no one
will make mistake in planning to
observe July Fourth at Sundy's Sum-
mer Garden, where a good time awaits
them.

Women Should
Be On the Ticket

The position women now occupy IN
politics makes it not only important,
but The Times believes, necessary that
they should be represented on all
Democratic tickets hereafter. Espe-
cially is this true in county affairs.
There is no doubt but one or more wo-
women on every county ticket IN the
state will add much strength Of all
such tickets in the general election,
and this is the proper time to begin
looking around for women to run for
such offices as they may desire.
But they should not be held down
exclusively to county nominations
Their ability to fill even higher offices
has already been demonstrated, and
this paper hopes the proper women
will be found who are willing to be
candidates for District and State Of
fees. That many of them are not on
lly showing adaptability for politics,
but also are splendidly qualified to
hold the highest offices, there is no
longer any doubt. 1t is no longer not
only their privilege. but it should also
be their pleasure. to get into the po-
titicaI game in whole-hearted man
ner, as is their nature. Their pres
.enee in the game will have a refining
and elevating tendency, which is Ger
Etain to be most advantageous to the
whole people. ,tisew. hla
While it is early to make announce
ments for office, It is none too soon
to be looking around and preparing
for the next campaign by locating at
least two or more women candidates
for the Democratic county ticket. The
Times hopes this will be done, at least
+ in St. Francois county, primarily for
n the strengthening Of the ticket with
the voters. u3.tf III t,ss.e

A Suicide at
State Hospital

Mrs. Nora Mobiles, aged 40, a pa
tient at State Hospital No. a, pryed a
screen door open Monday morning,
reached the veranda in front of the
disturbed ward, and leaped head first
to the granitoid sidewalk below, evi-
IDENTIFY with suicidal intent, as she had
for number of years declared her in
tention to destroy herself. She lived
but few minutes.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that death was "by leaping OF
falling from a two-story veranda onto
the sidewalk at the disturbed ward

tackled several rows when he began
spraying.
With a small spray that holds
about four gallons, and that can be
carried on tie shoulder, A per cent
solution of Kerosene emulsion was
used. The application of this solu-
tion killed the bugs in a short space
of time. A few gallons of kerosene
used in this way did great deal to-
ward preventing great damage from
this pest.
However, to make this operation
practical and effective, it is necessary
to be on guard against the bugs and
spray before they become scattered
over the field. If several acres of
corn are being attacked by the bugs,
the task of spraying becomes a big
one. In fact, it is doubtful if it is
worth while to attempt spraying af-
ter the bugs are scattered over the en-
tire field. G.f2
| What If the Farmer Should Strike3
The pressmen of the eastern news
papers striking, demanding a 44-hour
week, instead of 48, causes US to spec
ulate what would happen if the farm
er should refuse to work more than A
hours per week. Many a farmer
works that many in three days.
Let US anticipate such strike.
Should the farmers, as a whole, con-
tend for such working hours, they
could obtain them, for what could pre-
vent? The present farmers are the
most efficient tillers of the soil that
it would be possible to secure. II
people of other trades, business oil
profession, should attempt to break
up this strike they could not do it as
their longer working hours would MOI
, make their returns, due to inefficiency
! greater than the returns of the pres
ent farmers, although only working
, Al hours per week.
t Therefore, we can readily see tina
the cost of living would greatly in
| crease. Frequently farmers make tn
= statement that they are going to quit
!. but due to their training, when tn
= time comes, they are found on the jol
: This characteristic must have been de
d veloped because they live close to ma
: ture.
:. But the time may come when tn
t oppression that the farmers feel b
l. the hand of other industries wi
n cause them to demand a just rewar
l. for their efforts. Should they tax
l. this step, who can blame them? Ce
p tainly the farmers cannot be expecte
to continue to produce at loss.
