Conference Saturday.

Statutory Restriction Is Hurt
ing State Banks.

State officials will look thru the
Kansas statutes for relief from -neces-
sity~ of "a Special lsgislat tive session call.
Governor Allen today asked for a con-
ference Saturday morning with mem
bers of the state bank commissioner S
office and members of the attorney
generals staff. Efforts will be made
to work out the present difficulty fac
ing state banks which desire to par
ticipate in distribution of funds of the
War.-finance corporation.
= While Governor Allen believes the
state will be able to dodge necessity
of a special, session. the matter has
not been settled entirely. Under the
present situation national banks in
this state may participate in distribu-
ton of the billion dollar war finance
corporation fund while state banks
cannot act under provisions of the
state law. 1t was because of this stat
utory. restriction against the HOO
state banks that Governor Allen was
recently asked by prominent bankers
to call a special session to modify the
present enactment.
Saturdays conference with repre-
-sentatives- of the. banking and legal
departments doubtless will result in
some solution of the trouble, state Of
ficials believe. The governor reiterated
today, however that he will still con-
slider the necessity of a special session.

Another Fine
Entertainment

The rendition of "Ya! Ho!" at the
Monarch Tuesday night proved to be
a splendid success, both in attendance
and in entertainment furnished. The
house was crowded far beyond capac-
ity, perhaps a hundred occupying the
last bit of standing space. The fact
that the many who were unable to Sc
cure seats remained in rapt attention
for about two and one-half hours is
sufficient evidence as to the enter
tanning character of the entertain
nient.
"Yal Ho!" proved to be a happy
mixture of entertaining events, and
again disclosed much stage talent,
for which Pennington is noted. One
of the most interesting numbers was
"The Merry Minstrels," which was re-
plete with laughs and music, Harry
Sutton, one of the black face end
men, exhibited wonderful talent as a
fun-maker, and he might easily have
been mistaken as a professional in
that field of endeavor. He has the
exceptional talent of being funny ev-
en- when only twiddling his thumbs,
constantly without apparent effort he
kept the audience in roar of mer-
riment.l There were also several
others in that motley array who We're
close seconds to him as laugh pro-
ducers.
| Another number that ranked in the
professional list was the dance sketch
rendered by Alva Womack. There
are perhaps few citizens who had any
idea such dancer lives right here ir
Pennington. He certainly acquitted
himself like "dancin' fool". The en-
tire list of performers deserve person
al mention, but space does not permit
This same performance was presented
at Flat River Wednesday evening
and at Bonne Terre last evening, anc
was greeted by fair sized audiences a

Kitchen Arrangement.

Handy arrangement of working
tools saves many steps. The house
wife should study the kitchen and see
if rearranging the equipment would
make cooking less of task.
Have utensils where they can be
reached easily and not on shelves so
high that you must stand on tip-toe
and stretch your arms to reach them.
Put the utensils used most frequently
in the handiest places and those used
together, near one another. Group
things needed about the stove near to-
gether: kettles, skillets, roasters,
holders, asbestos mats, and anything
else you are in the habit of using, are
most convenient placed near the stove.
Near the work table. another group,
consisting of pans, bowls, crooks, food
chopper, pairing knives, and various
other utensils should be placed. These
are ali needed IN the preparation of
food.
A kitchen cabinet is help in this
handy arrangement place, since it
provides necessary shelves and draw
ers for holding materials and uten-
sils used in cooking. A table with up
rights nailed to each side and shelves
with hooks on the edges, is cheap
and easy way of saving steps and
time if a person has no kitchen cabi-
net.

Appeal Court Sus-
tains judge Huck

A charge made by Polite Elvins,
attorney for the st. Joseph Lead Co.,
that Judge Huck should not have sub
mitted the case of John Nash against
the Lead Company to the jury, was
held to be unfounded by the st. Louis
Court of Appeals on Thursday,
March 23rd, when the court overruled
the Lead Company's motion for a re-
hearing of the case. The court or
dered the Lead Company to pay
Nash's judgment in fullS with interest
from May 26, 1919, the date of the
jury's verdict.
Mr.. Nash had his leg broken by a
rock which fell from bluff, while he
was working as shoveler in shaft No.
/ at Bonnie Terre. He sued the COM
pany for three thousand dollars, and
the jury awarded him the full amount,
The lead company, through Mr.. Ell
wins, asked the Court Of Appeals to
set aside the judgment, claiming that
Nash knew the rock was dangerous
hnd that his injury was due to his
own fault in working under it. John
S. Marsaiek, of st. Louis, who repre-
sented Nash in the appeal court, ar
gued that Nash's injury was due to
the carelessness of his foreman, in or
dering Nash to work under the rock.
The Appeal Court upheld his view, and
sustained the action of Judge Huck in
every particular.
The courts opinion, which was
written by Judge Davis Biggs, reaf-
firms an important principle, in hold
ing that even though. the workman
knows there is danger in his work, he
does not lose his right to collect dam
ages for an injury, unless the danger
is so great that a reasonably prudent
workman would refuse to take the
risk.

Necessary Qualif-
cations for Voters

The Times has been questioned sew
eral times, during the past week as to
what are the necessary qualifications
for persons voting in a city election.
We have looked up the law, and Sec
tion 474S of the Revised Statutes
gives the qualifications which are the
same for the State, county and city,
as follows:
Every male or female citizen of the
United States who is over the age OF
twenty-one years, possessing the fol.
lowing qualifications, shall be entitled
to vote at all elections by the people
First, he shall have resided in the
State one year Immediately preceding
the election at which he offers to vote
second, he shall have resided in the
county, city or town where he shall
offer to vote at least sixty days i'm
mediately preceding the election; anG
each voter shall vote only in thu
township in which he resides, or if il
town or city, then in the election
district in which he resides.

Three Charged
With Robbery

Bud 0dell, Green Downing and
Leonard Marbury were arrested the
last Of the week, charged with the
recent robbery of the Pennington
Mercantile Co. The arrest of these
young men, all of this city, was a
shock to many of our people. They
are all out on bond and will be tried
for the offense charged at the May
term of circuit court.
The arrest of 0dell and Downing
brought forth confessions from them,
in which they implicated Marbury. 1t
appears, from confessions, that they
entered the Pennington Mercantile
Co. establishment on both Saturday
and Sunday nights, March 18th and
10th, and that they secured consider
able more goods than was at first sup
posed.
