Neighbors
Have Trouble

Last Saturday evening a shooting
affray occurred at Knob Lick, in this
county, in which Peter Sem, of that
community, lost two fingers and por-
tion of the palm of his hand. The
wound was caused by a shot gun
which was directed by s. B. Morris,
about go years old, a neighbor of
Sem. Morris came to Pennington
the same night and gave himself up
to Sheriff Hunt. But on the advice
of Prosecuting Attorney Golfer Nor
ris was permitted to return to his
home, on the promise of returning
the next day with bondsmen, which
he did.
Morris story of the unfortunate af-
fair is practically as follows: In
company with two Of his sons he
started on a 'possum hunt Saturday
evening, and while passing through
his field, they found cow belonging
to Sem on their premises, which they
drove out. Just as they had gotten
the animal off their premises, Sem
made his appearance, carrying stick,
and he Immediately began to abuse
them and wanted to know what they
were trying to do with his COW. Fl
nally he started toward Morris, with
threat of what he would do to them,
when Morris shot, with the above
stated result.
Mr.. Sem was taken to the Bonne
Terre hospital for treatment, and
The Times has been unable to get his
side of the story. He is reported to
be getting along well, and will doubt
less soon be able to return home.
Sem is about 40 years old, and we
understand has lived in his present
home about two years, going there;
from st. Louis, where he was former
ly policeman.
The preliminary hearing of this
case has been set for Saturday, Nov
18th, when all the causes leading mp
to the shooting will be threshed out. q

Nearly 100 Con-

In last weeks Times we carried
four columns of advertisements in
the interest of Pennington business
men.
That the missing word contest is
attracting the attention of the read
ers of this paper is evidenced by the
fact that many letters have been re-
ceived with answers to last week S
missing word. We are pleased with
this big response to our first contest
issue. We are glad because we
know that every reader must have
read all the advertisements in order
to find the missing word, and we know
that such reading will benefit the adj
vertisers. We are glad because we
want to make The Times interesting
to our readers and we find this con-
test is interesting them, and then,
last, but not least, we are glad that
so many people have started to work
fer the cash prizes that are offered
to those who can correctly name the
missing words during these thirteen
weeks. t5
Do not be discouraged if you have
trouble locating the missing word.
Give the matter careful thought, and
when you have decided upon the
right word, fill out the coupon, and
mail or bring it to this office.
We wish every contestant would
remember to mark the envelope

makes it unnecessary to open the let
ter to discover whether or not it be-
longs to the contest mail.

wer be brought or mailed to our office

thing over $500 plurality. That is
plenty, thank you.
The Democratic State ticket went
over the top in this county by ma
jorities ranging from TIC for State
Superintendent of Schools to LIT
for John 7. White for Supreme Judge
of Division No. 2. The difference in
these votes and those Of the county
candidates shows that the latter did
some effective work.
Thanks are due, from all Demo-
Gratis of st. Francois county at least,
to Dr. Clarence A. Tetley. chairman
of the Democratic County Committee,
for the excellent and telling work he
performed throughout the campaign.
1t was his efficient and gratuitous ef-
forts that did so much toward making
it the most successful campaign that
has been seen in the county for many
years. During the last few weeks
preceding the election DR.. Tetley abb
solutely divorced himself from his
dental work to put every ounce of his
energy and ability in the manage
ment Of thc county campaign.
The single blight left by the recent
election on st. Francois county De-
mocracy is the defeat Of C. p. Wiki
son, the party candidate for Probate
Judge. Notwithstanding the splendid
Democratic majorities for all the
other candidates on the ticket, "Pink"
was defeated by a plurality of SO
votes. This was of course due to
the very unusual popularity of the
successful Republican candidate,
Judge Weber, but it also shows that
entirely toe many Democrats failed
to do their full duty in voting against
so good and competent a man as
"Pink" Wilkson for that office. The
Times deeply regrets such an out
come in this race, while fully appre-
ciating Judge Weber's worthiness for
that position.

1856 Per Cent on Investment-Ust
Acid Phosphate with Manure.

A few farmers in st. Francois
county reinforce barnyard manure
with acid phosphate. This practice
should be used on nearly every farm
Barnyard manure is used by the most
! successful farmers as an economical
means of increasing crop yields and
maintaining soil fertility. But the
/ composition of barnyard manure as
related to sail building and permanent
agriculture, ism OF SO generally known.
To get the largest returns from ma
nure, it is necessary to supplement it
with the element in which it is de-
| ficient.
A ton of average barnyard manure
contains ten pounds of nitrogen, two
pounds of phosphorus, and eight
pounds Of potassium, according to the
Soils Department of the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture. Comparing this
composition with standard CONNER
cial fertilizer, such as 2-12-2, one can
Esee that manure is relatively def
cient In the element of phosphorus.
This element has been sold in the
grain, or retained by the animal body
and is not found in the manure in such
iareg quantities as the nitrogen and
potassium. s9e
| Although many factors influence the
composition of barnyard manure, even
the best methods of handling cannot
correct this deficiency. Only, one
method of supplying the deficiency
lis known and that is to reihforcel the
manure with mineral phosphate.
M st, Francois county soils are de-
lcient in phosphorus. BY adding 40
tor so pounds Of is per cent acid phos.
Fphate to each load of manure, we'll
balanced fertilizer may be had at the
tleast cost.
Results from the Missouri Expert
tment Station show that 81 invested
lin phosphate to reinforce manure will
return 386 per cent on the investment.

Oak Grove Community Wins Silver
Cup for the Second Time.


Cup for the Second Time.
Much credit is due the Oak Grove
community in winning the silver low
ing cup the second time for the great
est number of premiums won at the

year, when the Oak Grove Commune
ty won the cup. they considered it, to
certain extent: good luck, but after
the Show number of other commun-
tiles began working for the cup with
just as much determination to get it
this year, as the Oak Grove Commun-
ity, There was much interest in the
Home Economies Exhibits this year
and the results Of the work in the
ity and quantity Of products displayed.
There were quantities of canned
fruits, vegetables, jellies, and meat,
every jar of which was Of the very
best quality. There was a large dis
play of bread, cakes, and eandy--all
good. There were fifteen pounds of
butter on display, all of which the
judges said were Of exceptional quail
ity. There were all kinds of fancy
work SO that everybody found some-
thing of interest.
Oak Grove, in winning the cup, had
to DO lots of work in order to get
ahead of the l. G. U, Community,
which was coming along closely be-
hind them. They won forty-two blue
ribbons against thirty-one BY the l.
C. U. Community. Their red ribbons
numbered thirty-two, with /. C. U.
holding the same number. Desloge

ribbons. Pennington people took
twelve blue ribbons and eight red rib
hons, Libertyville Community won
rive blue ribbons and one red ribbon.

characteristics as htey could be. The
cows were treated alike except in ra.
