the French interior, furnish over
whelming nroof that France is mill
tary nation. Yet, Clemenceau breaches
to us about the military disposition
of the Germans.
The democrats of France-who call
themselves Liberals-have fought this
militarism with all their vigor, but
the military party is too strong for
France is ruled by the-war gods.
Independent French newspapers
have expressed grave doubt at the
necessity for this huge army of near
ly million men, eating the substance
of the people and threatening Europe
with wars, but the dominant party in
France rules with an iron hand.
Why does Clemencean neglect to
tell his audience the truth?
Why throw a blanket over the mill
taristic policies of France?
If militarism in Germany is menac-
ing the peace of Europe, what of mill
tarism in France?
The bigots in France are determined
to use every available means-soldiers
money, and propaganda-to crush
Germany and reduce the masses to
pauperism.
And Clemencean is in America, try
ing to enlist our support in that enter
prise.
There is not a word of truth in The
statement that Germany is engaged
in building a war-marhine and MAX
ing gigantic preparations for another
invasion of Belgium ard France.
Germany has no navy, her munition
factories have been turned into in
dustrial enterprises, and her army
was by the terms of the treaty, re-
duced to the minimum. Financial ex-
perts, who recently studied German
economics from a disinterested view
point, tell US that it is utterly i'm
possible for the German nation to pay
the indemnity imposed by the Ver-
sailles treaty, and Senator Borah eX-
presses the same opinion on the floor
of the United States Senate.
Clemenceau is shrewd. versatile,
and possessed of all the graces of
oratory. He understands human ma
ture He knows the game of politics,
and he plays his cards well. But he
will not convince the American people
that the League of Nations is good
thing for us.
And Georges Clemenceau would
have made a better impression, if he
had swept around his own back door,
before coming to this country to lee
ture us on how to keep the peace

AMERICAN EMPLOYERS SHOULD
FOLLOW SUIT

The Cadbury Brothers chocolate
factory at Bonneville, England, is a
model plant. lhe workers are well
housed and we'll paid and share in the
management and profits. Neverthe-
less Mrs. Boeke, daughter of one Of
the firms founders, received a
tune when she inherited $500 of the
company's shares. The shares made
Mrs. Boeke uncomfortable. She was
the mother of six children and could
probably have made use Of consider
able money in bringing them un but
she felt she had no right to money
she had not earned. She returned the
income from the shares to the work
ers of the comnany, asking only that
it be administered for social, interna-
tional, and philanthropic prposes.
Whereupon the workers urged Mrs.
Boeke to take back some of the divi-
dends in the interest of her growing
family.

LARGE NUMBERS LEAVING THE
FARMS

Larger numbers of women than
men are leaving the farms IN search
Of more lucrative fields, according to
figures Of the deparement of COM
merce, which indicate that of the 81,
614,269 farm dwellers in the United
States, enumerated as of Jan. l, 1920
bv the census, 16,496,338 were males
and 15,117,931 females.
1t is also stated that the farm pop
ulation includes a relatively large
proportion of persons 21 and over, as
compared with the entire ~NDulation
of the country. This difference in age
distribution is explained as due to the
fact that the majority of persons who
leave the farm to seek other work are
usually past 81. The farm popula-
ton comprises all persons actually
making their homes on farms, regard
less of whether engaged in agricul-
ture, together with farm laborers and
their families living elsewhere than
on farms, but not living in incorpor-
ated places.
The sex ratio for the farm popula-
ton on 1920 was 1901 males to 100
females, against 104 to 100 for the
entire population of the Unto
Stataes. 1t was found that in As
states-West Virginia, Wyoming and
Arizona being the exceptions-the
ratio of males to females was higher
for the farm population than for the
total population, desnite the fact that
the foreign born element, in which
the males considerably outnumber the
females, is found mainly in the cities.
The largest proportion of children
and youth in the farm centers are
shown for the southern states, and the
lowest for New England, New York,
New Jersey and California.

DEFIES COMPREHENSION

The many tricks, crooks and turns
resorted to by the average lawyer are
and ever have been too deep and mys'
terious for the understanding of the
common layman, but they are as plain
as a pikestaff in comparison with the
queer deals and decisions of the jury
of "peers" which measures the degree
and quantity of punishment meted Out
to the poor devil in the tolls. A fellow
who wagers his money on horse race
or bets on which card will come out
of the box next, has at least a fighting
chance to win out, unless he is up
against a, brace game. But he who
bets on the verdict of jury has nc
more chance than a SNOWFALL in q
kettle of boiling water. There is nc
way of telling which way the cat viii
lump, and it is rare indeed when thev
"make the punishment fit the crime. "
The truth of the above was never
more truly proven than by the sur
prising action of the jury in the recent
case of Ohio VS.. Morris Slocum, IN
dicted on the charge of second degree
murder for the killing of John Kali
man, a B. & o. striker, which brought
in a verdict of not guilty after de-
liberating one hour on case arising
from the circumstances surrounding
upon what was and is considered by
many to little less than unprovoked
deliberate murder.
The jury which made such a brief
Job of disposing of what to them was
evidently a matter of small lmpor-
tance, consisted of the following good
men land women) and true: Bert
Bruce, John Hilbrant, j. H. Pound
stone, James f. Upham, Chas. W..
Hoover, Sadie Simpson. d. j. tallon,
D. R. Moran, Ann Priest, A. L. Jones,
Chas. E. Root and Ralph Adams.
One thing which seems to the aver
age common everyday man as trltie
inconsistent is that the kinks of the
law provide loopholes for the escape
of a murderer, but affords no relief
or mercy for the fellow who is guilty
of possessing for the third time few
ounces of rotgut whiskey, and is
caught dead to rights, as was in
stanced in the same court a few days
after the colored butcher got off scott
free.

Licenses Fixed for
Shows and Circuses

Now that the "circusing" season has
arrived and advance agents are fol-
lowing their usual methods of ap-
pearing before the County Court and
attempting to get lower license rate
in this county than has previously
been fixed by the court, the County
Judges decided that it would be ad-
visable to again put on record the IL
cense fees it will be necessary for such
exhibitions to pay on entering st.
Francois county.
1t was ordered that railroad shows
should pay $25 day for first car and
So day for each additional car up to
16 cars. For all cars above 16 no
additional charge will be made. Cir
cuses travelling in vehicles, $25 day.
Exhibitions known as street carnivais,
S25 day. Travelling theatrical COM
panies showing in tents. IS for each
performance. Motion picture shows,
$25 per annum. Opera houses, $12
per year.
1t was further ordered that a GER
titled copy of this order be sent to all
constables in the county, with instruc-
tions that they comply with the law
in the collection of all such licenses.

With honors thus far about equally

with feverish haste and intensity to

So close is the battle of ballots that
Just one or more clubs of $40 in sub

Don't Be Discouraged.
The race is just getting started and
no telling who will go ahead this time
next week. An entirely new member

Pennington Over
whelms Desloge

Pennington journeyed to Desloge
last Sunday for their second game of
the season, and were again victorious
to the tune of nine to nothing.
There was unusual interest and nj
valry in this game, owing to the fact
that A. G. Murphy, local pitcher,
did the tossing for Desloge. From the
beginning 1t was evident that it was
not Murphy's day, as the Pennington
bats kept the atmosphere ringing
with real singles, doubles, homers and
different varieties Of hits. This, cou-
pied witk ,ssms timeS errors commit
ted by the Desloge team, accounts for
the lopsided score.
Merrill, who pitched for Farming
ton, was in tip-top form, as the score
indicates. He let them down with six
hits, and whitfield nine. Blaylock's
throw to the plate from deep left to
retire McNally in the seventh, ! and
jennings homer out of the park were
features.
The umpires, Jeremiah and Coffield,
handled the game very satisfactorily
to all concerned.

Ferman Odell
Secures Contract

The contract for the building of one
and 94-100 miles of road out of Bis
marck and connecting with the road to
Elvins, has been awarded to Ferman
0dell, of this city, whose bid of $15,-
704.78, was the lowest one received.
About half of this road will be over
a new right-of-way, which the county
will furnish, at cost of about $4,000,
and will shorten the road between
Bismarck and Elvins about one mile.
The State Highway Commission
will pay for the building of this road,
for which something over $4,000 had
previously been decided upon. The
difference between the contract price
and the amount agreed upon by the
State Highway Commission, about
$4,000, will be used in extending the
rebuilt road over the present high
way. Harry Griffith, OF DeSoto, was
here Tuesday and in company with
Ferman Odell went over the proposed
route for the new road to give final
instructions to the contractor. 4,

Teachers Selected N
for Another Year

The Pennington Board of Educa-
ton met last Thursday evening and
selected teachers for the next school
year. Such proceedings were too late,
however, for last weeks Times, which
went to press that same evening. So
far as we have been able to learn, the
selections made are all generally sat
isfactory, which alone is splendid
commendation of the work of the
Board, as it is indeed difficult mat
ter to give so much as general salts
faction IN the selection of large
corps of teachers, such as is required
in the Pennington schools.
The new Board was organized by
the election Of Geo. X. Williams as
president, Fred NJ. Karsch as vice.
president, Ed Klein as treasurer, and
J. p. Cayce as secretary.
Supt. w. L. Johns was reelected for
the ninth consecutive year as princi-
pal instructor and overseer of school
work in Pennington, which is suffici-
ent endorsement of the excellent work
he has performed in the building up Of
our schools.
The following are the teachers Sc
lected for the High School: d. H
Haldaman, principal; Mrs. Harlan,
mathematics; Miss Genevieve Huss,
history; Miss Martha Raines, Latin
and French, Mrs. Williams, English;
Miss Lucy Wilson, Domestic Science;
Miss Marcia Townsend, supervisor of

Farm Bureau Notes
FARM BUREAU TO =
HAVE EXHIBIT AT
THE STATE FAIR

The st. Francois County Farm Bu-
reau is planning on collecting and pre-
parting an exhibit to show at the
State Fair this year. The fair is TO
be held in August. The Farm Bureau
sent an exhibit asst year, it will be re-
n,embered, and won fourth prize; win
ming over counties nearer Sedaila, and
which had been showing before. Eight
prizes arc offered this year, for farm
Bureau exhibits. The total sum CIV
en- for these exhibits this year is $l2oO,
distributed in eight prizes.
The cooperation Of the entire mem,
bership of the Farm Bureau is urged
that St. Francois county will stand
well in the competition. At the agri-
cultural show last fall. great many
people saw a part of the exhibit used
at the State Fair, Hence, an idea OF
the kind of display wanted. AS far as
possible, it is desired that the exhlo-
its will show the constructive work OF
the Farm Bureau, along the project
lines. The following might be sug-
gestive: Fruit sprayed VS.. fruit un-
sprayed; a photograph of, or fruit
from pruned, VS.. unprunedS fruit; fruit
from a tree where sodium nitrate was
used VS.. where none was used; oats IN
the sheaf and threshed, the seed OF
which was treated for smut, versus
the same where no treatment was
used; oats from early maturing varie-
ties versus late maturing varieties
oats fertilized versus unfertilized; oats
grown in rotation versus those grown
where no rotation is practiced; count
of corn stalks or of ears or a photo
graph or chart. ETC., where seed corn
was tested for termination versus
the same from untested seed; like
wise the same showing corn where ro-
tation was practiced; where manure
was used versus not used; where fer
tilizer was used versus not used; sly.
beans where incubation was practlced
versus uninoculated; approved varle'
ties versus unapproved varieties; late
sown wheat to avoid the Hessian fly
versus early sown damaged by The
fly; clover lined versus uniimed; al
falfa lined versus unlimed; alfalfa
inoculated versus not inoculated; al
falfa ON ground manured versus alfal.
ia on ground not manured; potatoes
from seed treated for scab versus un-
treated for scab.

Soy Bean Essentials

The fine essentials in profitable
soybean growing are: plant one Of the
best varieties,a good sed bed, inocu-
lation, planting on the proper date,
and planting the proper depth. Re-
suits at the Experiment Station show
that the Morse, Medium Yellow, Ho-
berlandt, Wilson and Virginia, are the
Ave best varieties. On thin land and
in the 0zarks, the Virginia is superior
to all others.
No field crop requires a better seed
bed than soybeans. Land should be
plowed early and be given thorough
disking, two or three times before
planting. This will kill weeds, save
moisture and make a good, firm seed
bed.
The Importance of incubation of
soybeans cannot be overestimated. The
culture for inoculating can be secured
from the soils department of the Col
lege of Agriculture, and is easily ap-
piled. Farmers who never have
grown soybeans on the land before,
should inoculate their seed. June /
is about the best date to plant soy
beans (the date June IL, as appeared
in these columns last week, was an er-
ror. June 1 was intended). By this
time the ground is warm. This al.
lows for an extra working of the land
before planting. Every farmer knows
that the easiest, cheapest and most eff
fective timet o cultivate crop is be-
fore it is planted.
The most common mistake ir
planting soybeans is to plant them toe
deep. On most soils / 1-2 inches is
the proper depth. Soybeans come uI
with their necks crooked, like any
other bean, and if planted too deep
the ground may crust and injure then
coming through. By planting q
pounds of seed 1-2 inches deep, thii
will be reduced to a minimum.
