Hay Speaks in
Long, 5 Interest

" According TO announcement. Hon.
Chas. M. Hay, Of st. Louis, made q
speech in Flat River Tuesday evening
in support Of the race cf Hon. Breck-
inridge Long FOR the Democratic nom
ination for United States Senator.
DR.. T. L. Haney presented the speak
er In few appropriate remarks, clos
ing with the statement that Mr.. Hay
needed no introduction to q st. Fran
co.'s county audience.
Il was a great crowd that assem-
bled for that occasion, being drawn
by the knowledge that they would
perhaps hear something extra in the
way Of a speech. And in this they
are not disappointed, as the speaker
held the wrapt attention of the great
crowd, conservatively estimated at
$500, for practically two hours, re-
ceiving frequent and enthusiastic ap-
plause throughout.
A large part Of his audience ap-
peared greatly pleased as the speaker
went over the record Of Missouri's
senior Senator, carefully tracing it
from the outbreak of the world war in
1914, and in his forceful manner drew
the deadly parallel between that rec
ord and what, in the opinion Of the
speaker, it should have been, thereby
making noticeable impression upon
his auditors.
He had known Breckenridge for a
numbersof years, and knew him to be
an excellent gentleman, high minded
and Of unusual ability, who held the
utmost respect and confidence of all
who knows him. The speaker thought
a serious and almost irreparable err
ror would be made if Breckinridge
Long fails to get the nomination he is
seeking, with james A. Reed as his
opponent. s

Pennington Wins
Another Game

An interesting bali game was played
on the local grounds Sunday, between
the home team and the Wabash rail-
road team Of St. Louis. While the Wis
itors played good ball, they were hard
ly a match for the locals, though the
game was interesting from start to
finish.
1t appeared for some time that the
visitors would be unable to score, but
they finally succeeded in punching
enough hits to permit of. three scores,
while the locals were piling up nine.
Next Sunday afternoon the con-
tenders against the home boys will be
the DeLassus team, who have been
playing good ball for some time past,
and the prospects are that the game
will be hotly contested. Play will be-
gin at p. m. sharp.

suggestions For PickIing.

Never use poor grade of vinegar,
fruits, vegetables or spices. Fruits
and vegetables should be fresh, crisp
and unbruised. Vinegar should be di-
luted if too sour. If diluted too much,
the pickles will become soft from too
much fermentation. If boiled too
long, vinegar loses its strength. Pick
les heated too long in vinegar become
soft from over cooking.
Spices should be used in moderation.
Spices should be tied in a thin cloth
bag so they may be removed when the
vinegar is sufficiently spiced.
Pickles are soaked in brine to make
them firm and to improve their fla
vor. If left too long in brine, pickles
shrivel. Twenty-four hours is long
enough. Use to 1 LIZ cups of salt
to / gallon of water.
Glass is best for storing pickles
since vinegar sometimes acts upon
the glazing of earthenware jars to
make unwholesome products.

County Health De
apartnlent Now On

DR.. Bradford Massey, chief cfithe
st. Francois County Health Depart
ment, was in Pennington Wednesday
and favored The Times office with an
agreeable call. DR.. Massey informed
Us that there are with him Mr.. Stutz,
sanitary engineer, and Miss Schroeder,
q registered nurse, and that they have
opened offices over the Lead Belt
News office in Flat River, from which
point they propose to expand to all
parts Of the county in pursuing their
work, which win be for the improve
inent of the sanitary conditions Of the
whole people.
Their first general work will begin
during the first week In August,
which will be denominated Baby
Week. During this time infant clin-
les win be established in all the prin-
cipal towns throughout the county.
The exact dates Of the clinics in the
different towns will be announced by
posters, as well as from the different
church pulpits.
i The one big idea of such clinics is
to improve the health conditions of the
babies. By referring to similar work
that has been carried on In other plac-
es, there is great field in this coun-
Ity for the Improvement of the condi-
tions that surround infantile life, and
to those best informed in this work
much is expected from the improve
ment of sanitary conditions that this
County Health Department will de-
vote its entire time.
Other important work regarding
proper sanitation will be taken up
just as soon as possible, and it is al
together reasonable to expect really
wonderful results from the work of
the St. Francois County Health De-
partment.

Farm Bureau to Have County Wide
Picnic. t

Action has been taken by the st.
Francois County Farm Bureau to have
a countrywide picnic about September
LIST. A general committee consisting
Of w. H. Counts, Chairman, T. G.
Rickus, ]. d. Rion and G. A. Tetley,
is making plans to make this event
the biggest farmers picnic ever held
in the county. A number of other
committees will be selected by this
general committee. Mr.. Counts, the
chairman Of the committee, has proved
his ability in making picnics a success
and there is no doubt but that this
will be one cf the most successful he
has ever engineered. The members, of
the executive committee selected the
men on the general committee, from
the vicinity of Pennington, that it
would be easy to get the committee
together. subcommittee to have
charge 70 certain phases Of the en-.
tertainment will be selected from
other sections Of the county.

THE REPUBLICANS BID
FOR THE NEGRO VOTE

Acting on orders from Senator
Lodge who is trembling in his boots
in fear of licking in November, the
Republican-controlled Senate Judi
ciary Committee has reported favor
ably the Dyer anti-lynching bill, al
though every member Of the commit
tee except one is said to regard the
measure as unconstitutional. But
Lodge doesn't care about the consti-
tutionality and neither do the Repub-
lican members of the committee who
voted favorably on reporting out the
bill. Lodge is threatened with the
loss of 10000 negro votes unless the
measure is passed and each and every
one of those ballots looms up to him
right now as big as dozen Constitu-
tions.. Lodge wants to be reelected,
that's all Lodge wants, and if little
stunt like passing a bill known to be
unconstitutional can turn the trick, so
much the better for all concerned.
The Missouri State Journal in pre-
vious issues has explained the pro-
visions of this queerly-framed bill de-
fining a mob as an ASSEMBLY COM
posed of three or more persons acting
in concert for the purpose of depriv-
ing any person of his life without au-
thority of law" Under it's terms,
three Jefferson City residents could
walk across the bridge into Galloway
county, get into an argument with a
fourth man, slay him and the citizens
of Galloway would be taxed $4,000
to pay damages to the victims fam
lily. AS bid for negro votes it is a
winner but as piece Of safe and sane
legislation it is fraud.
Lodge, however, isn't worrying
about the "queerness" of the bill.
Neither is Frelinghuysen of New Jer-
sey, Beveridge of Indiana or any other
Republican who has big negro con-
stituency and hopes to ride into the
Senate or the House on negro votes
gained through an unconstitutional
SOC.
The Republicans will try to pass
this bill in the present session, serene
in their view that passage won't do
any harm inasmuch as the Supreme
Court will declare it unconstitutional
! By the time of the court decision, they
reason, the elections will be matter
of past history. The negroes, OF
course, will be ired by the opinion but
what boots that. It is popular fash
ion now to take pot shots at the Su-
preme Court and besides, the negroes
already will have voted the Republi.
can ticket In the fall election and
that's the great thing to be desired
fright now.-4State Journal.

CUPID SPRINGS SURPRISE.
Announcement Made of Marriage Of
Kenosha Girl to Panama Man.

An interesting romance has been dis
closed in the announcement of the
marriage of Miss Frances Loeffler,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. j. Loeffler
of Kenosha and Bryant Seal of Pana-
ma, which took place April 4, 1921 in
Panama. Mrs. Seal is visiting her
relatives in Kenosha and today's an
nouncement is the first news they have
had of the nuptials.
Mrs. Seal went to Panama in Deem
Der Of 1920 with her brother-in-law and
sister, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Neumann.
She had planned to make short visit
and then return to the States. Shortly
after her arrival she met Mr.. Seal, who
is in the government offices in Central
