A Cutting and
Shooting Scrape

Trouble occurred Saturday night at
VIM. Snider's place, just north OF
Bonne Terre, which left its mark on
at least three of the four parties who
apparently participated in the trouble.
The best information at hand indi-
Gates that two parties named Lunce-
ford and Gordon, Of Flat River, went
to the scene of trouble. and that
Lunceford, who was apparently some
what intoxicated, began abusing a
number Of men congregated there. It
seems that Mart Sherman and Gov
ro resented Lunceford's language, the
natural result being fight.
After the first hostilities were over,
Sherman had severe cut in the
shoulder, while Govro sustained a cut
above the ear of considerable dimen-
sions, but both the injured men were
still able to get about. Thinking the
trouble was ended, the crowd began
to disperse, and Lunsford and Gordon
went to their car, apparently with the
intention of leaving also. While
Lunsford was standing by his car,
there was the report Of shot gun,
practically the entire discharge from
which found lodgment in Lunsford's
arm and thigh, which necessitated his
being taken to the Bonne Terre hos
pital for treatment, where it is said
about forty shot were extracted from
him.
All who participated in the fight
appear to be indisposed to talk of the
trouble, which viii perhaps not be
thoroughly understood before the prin-
cipals are given thorough examina-
tion, which will be soon as Lunsford's
injuries will permit of his being
brought in for examination. There is
a rumor that some of the prinlipals, if
not all of them, were engaged in boot
Logging, which may account for their
desire for secrecy in their movements.

Caledonia Wins
a Poor Ball Game

A small crowd gathered Sunday af-
ternoon at the DeLassus ball grounds
to witness game between the locals
and the Caledonia team. The first
seven innings of the game were inter
esting, at which time DeLassus had
run in three tallies, and it looked like
the visitors would be unable to score.
But in the eighth the unexpected hap
pened and completely reversed the
trend of the first seven innings.
1t was here that the DeLassus
pitcher gave down, or the visitors
worked out til mystery Of his curves.
Anyway tAs beepn 10 pound him sll
over the field, and in single inning
they piled up nine scores. Altogether
too late the pitcher was relieved, but
the first relief pitcher could not stop
the batfest that had been inauguraed,
and finally in the closing chapter,
when it was too late to possibly ac-
complish any real good, "Turkey"
Murphy, of this city, went into the
box for DeLassus and promptly re-
tired the slugging Caledonians. The
score was IL to 3 in favor of the Wis
iting team.

BEN B. BISCH

Passed into the great beyond on Fri
day morning, August rs, from his
home in Bonne Terre, after several
weeks illness of typhoid fever, fol-
lowed by various complications. De-
ceased was about 65 years old, and is
survived by his wife and two sons.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Catholic church at 9 o'clock
Saturday morning, by Rev. M. T. Sew
elk, who paid beautiful tribute to the
deceased and spoke eloquently of his
patriotism and religion. Interment
was made in the Catholic cemetery.
Mr.. Bisch was for many years en-
ployed as diamond drill worker with
the st. Joseph Lead Co. at Bonnie
Terre. He had previously resided at
Flat River and was well known and
throughout the county. At
the primary he won the Democratic
for Judge of the County
Court from the first district. His
funeral was largely attended by peo-
pie from all over the county.

Decision Will
Soon Be Made

Mayor G. A. Tetley returned Satur-
day morning from jefferson City,
where he appeared Friday before the
public Utilities Commission with q
remonstrance from the business men
of this city against permitting the
management Of the electric railway
from very materially diminishing its
schedule to and from Pennington to
Flat River, which application had been
filed with the Utilities Board.
In company Of Hon. Jerry B. Burks,
who is member Of the Constitutional
Convention, Mayor Tetley appeared
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion, who gave them careful and at
tentive hearing. They were asked
number Of questions by the members
of the Commission, and were prom
ised decision in the matter within
week, providing the management of
the electric line and the citizens of
Pennington failed to get together on
an agreement satisfactory to all par
ties concerned before that time.
Mayor Tetley was impressed that
the Utilities Commission is desirous
of giving the people of this commun-
lty the pest possible service, without
working hardship on anyone. The
idea has also impressed itself upon
him that there is little cause for
fear, no matter what the decision Of
the Commission may be in this mat
ter. He does not believe that the pro-
posed changes in the schedule of the
electric line-even the abandonment
of that road would work the hardship
on this city that many of our citizens
seem to fear it would.
Clinton H. Crane, president of the
st. Joe Lead Co., who also controls
the electric line, is expected here soon,
and it has been proposed that COM
mittee Of business men wait upon him
and see if he cannot be induced to
keep the electric line up to its present
state of efficiency. Those who are ac-
quainted with Mr.. Crane are inclined
to think that he will accede to the re-
quests of such a committee, who will
be prepared to offer the hearty CO.
operation of the. entire business inter-
ests of the town in putting the road
on paying basis.

Result of Careful
Crossing Campaign

The following is summary Of the
result of watching several busy cross
ings on fifty-two railroads in the
United States during an eight hour
period, each day, July 18th and 18th,
1922, in connection with the Careful
Crossing Campaign:"
Total number of vehicles (all kinds)
passing over crossings during eight
hour period, 306, ,306.
Total number of vehicles stopped
for observation by driver, 6,696.
Total number of vehicles passing
over crossing where driver looked in
but one direction, 81, ,667.
Total number of vehicles passing ov-
er crossings where driver looked in
both directions, 62,829.
Total number of vehicles, passing
over crossing without driver observ-
ing any precautions, 156,607.
Total number of vehicles passing ov-
er crossings at speed of 20 miles or
more per hour, 26,453,
The posters and other methods that
have been used to induce the people to
be careful in the use Of crossings do
not appear to appeal to the average
driver, judging from the figures
shown.

Expert Opinion On
Electric Railways

j. B. Sheridan, secretary Of the
Committee on Public Utility Informa-
tion, 1925 N. Broadway, st. Louis,
was a visitor in Pennington on We'd
nesday. Sheridan stopped over 10
call on Barney Petty, an old friend of
base ball days. 1t is Sheridan's bus
mess to know all that is happening in
public utility lines in Missouri and
elsewhere. Discussing the affairs of
the st. Francois Co. R. r. Co., Mr..
Sheridan said:
Like all other electric railways,
the st. Francois railway has suffered
from jitney competition. But / have
noticed that when the railway puts
its case up to the people it serves,
the people treat it right.
So, when the pinch comes and the
st. Francois railway puts its case up
to the people Of st. Francois county,
| am sure that it will get square
deal.
"The electric railways must build,
equip and maintain their roadways,
pay certain rates of wages, be respon-,
sible for schedules, service, accidents,
serve In fair or foul weather, pay very
heavy taxes, etc.
"The jitney busses do not maintain
their own roads, pay only a nominal
automobile license tax, give service
when they please, are not responsible
for schedules or for damages due to
accidents, etc.
"In this way the busses enjoy a
great advantage over the railways.
However, it is up to the people to
say which service, busses or railway,
they want. In many instances the
people have always voted for electric
cars. But every community must de
eide this question for itself. l know
the people of st. Francois county will
consider this matter in sensible
manner and vote for the service they
feel is most valuable to them.
"The utilities in Missouri" Sheri-
dan said "were well treated by the
people of the state and would be in
very satisfactory condition this fall
had not the coal and railroad strikes
cost them to August 1st $565,000 and
would probably cost them 100000
more during the winter in continued
high prices Of coal"

A Wide-AWake
Business Firm

The Pennington Hardware Store,
with its present energetic and active
management, is making a noise like a
real business firm, which anyone will
be compelled to admit on entering
that inviting store and meeting with
either one or both the gentlemanly
and accommodating managers.
In the remodeing Of this store build
ing, the partition has been removed
and both rooms thrown into one large,
lighter, airier and more attractive
room, where goods can be displayed
to advantage and where the custo-
mer feels that he is not being imposed
upon.
This excellent improvement will
perhaps not only result in better and
more business for the Pennington
Hardware Co., but it is real i'm
provement for Pennington, as all who
pass that way will observe that at
tractive and up-to-date establishment.
When a new front has been put in,
which is contemplated before long,
that will add greatly to the attrac-
tiveness Of the store.

Schultz Should Be
Given Protection


The Times has several time spoken
Of the excellent work that s. T.
Schultz, manager Of the Iron Mountain
Lake. Is doing at that property, in
giving TO the pnhliesa real recreation
ana picnic gfo6A3sS. we have also
spoken of the fact that in that COM
munity there are some characters who
refuse to be controlled, except by per-
sonal violence or through the power of
the law. With this class, rather
small in number but Industrious in
seeking out means and methods of
attempting to intimidate and embar-.
rass their intended victim, Mr.. Schultz
has of necessity come into frequent
collision in his efforts 10 give his
guests all that, in his opinion, the
guest is entitled to.
lntercessions have been made, both
by Mr.. Schultz and his friends, to Sc
cure for him a committion as Deputy
Sheriff, with power only upon his own
property, that he may be able to ar
rest all violators of the law in that
resort, or to rid it of rowdyism and
undesirable characters, once and for
all time. The Times, with many
others, is firmly of the opinion that
Mr.. Schultz is entitled to such a COM
mission, with which he would be both
able and willing to give all visitors to
that popular resort the peace and
thorough enjoyment they are seeking
there. The general public owes to
Mr.. Schultz protection in this matter.

BABY HEALTH CONFERENCE

again throughout the county.
Bring your baby and children OF
five years or under and talk over with
the nurse and doctor as to it's health
and growth, and have the baby weigh.
ed and measured and see if it is gain
ing and growing as it should.
More babies were examined during
the Baby Health Week than were ex-
amined in any other county health
unit in Missouri and great gratifica-
tion should be felt by all at the ad-
vancement and intelligence of the
community in desiring to improve the
health of the children in the county.
The conference will be held accord
ing to the following schedule:
Baby Health Conferences at 2 p. m.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

The Pennington public schools will
open on next Tuesday morning with
everything ready for work to begin
at once, The registration of pupils in
the high school department is in prog
ress today, Friday, and tomorrow in
the high school building. 1t is again
requested that high school pupils reg
lister this week and have class sched-
ules arranged before the opening day
of school. The faculty will be able to
register only a few who have been
sick or out Of town, on Tuesday morn
ing, and most pupils will be expected
to register this week.
School patrons are requested to
make as little use Of school telephones
as possible, during school hours. Ev-
cry person who calls a school tele7
phone, during school hours, disturbs
the work of some teacher or some pu-
pill. No office help is, maintained in
any building, and all errands resulting
from telephone calls disturbs the
work Of some one. All persons should
think twice before calling school
telephone, during school hours, and
then decide to wait. In the high
school building school work will begin
at $3.50 a. m. and continue to 3:15 p.
m. In all other buildings school will
begin at 8 a. m. and continue until a
p. M, except in the primary rooms,
which will dismiss earlier. Calls be-
fore and after school can be answered
without Inconvenience.
Respectfully,
Superintendent.

TO STAMP OUT TYPHOID

There are at present considerable
number of cases Of typhoid in the
county and the County Health De-
partment in its efforts to control and
prevent the spread of the disease ur-
gently recommends all persons in the
county to lend their aid in this work.
Every person in the county under
fifty years of age should receive the
typhoid vaccine, the value Of which
can be seen when the following fig
ures are studied. In the United States
army during the Spanish American
war, when the soldiers did not receive
the vaccine. one out of every seven
soldiers had typhoid fever. In the
World War, when four million SOL
diers received the vaccine, one out Of
every 25,641 died of typhoid.
This should demonstrate to every
one the value of the vaccine, and that
they should, and every member of
their family should, receive the vac
cine. All are urged to at once apply
to their physician for the typhoid vac
cine.
The County Health Officer will be
in the county court house on Saturday
afternoon, September 2. to give the
vaccine. which is supplied by the
State Board of Health and the Gov
ernment for free distribution.
Three doses of the vaccine are CIV
en-, each one week apart. this pro-
tecting the person from typhoid fever
for about two and one-half years. A
slight reaction is felt by some persons
but will wear off in a few hours and
soon disappear.
Get busy, all, and stamp out this
disease as many other communities
have done in the United States; get
your doctor to give you the vaccine;
make the prfvies of your communities
f1y-tight so that they will pass re-
nuirements of the State Board Of
Health; enact town ordinances re-
quiring certain safe non-disease
spreading privies of specific types;
carry pure water with you in bottles
on your auto trip and picnic, and ty-
phoid fever will not kill ten times as
many in this county of 10000 persons
as it did in 0000 soldiers in the army.

Testing Paid in Webster.

The Webster County Cow Testing
Association has just completed its
fourth consecutive year and is still
proving its value. The first year that
the association operated, there was a
return Of $2.35 for each dollar feed
cost. The second year that had in
creased to $2.43 and the third year it
was $3.50. Last year that had still
further increased until there was re-
turn of $2.77 for every dollar feed and
pasture cost. This increase of 42c re-
turn on each dollar feed cost is not
phenominal. Yet when we stop to
realize that even at present feed
prices, Missouri milk cows are con-
suming $25,000,000 or more in feed
every year, we will see what this in
crease would mean to Missouri dairy
men, could cow testing association
methods be introduced in every dairy
herd.
Webster county dairymen, by stay
ing with their COW testing association,
are generally improving their methl
ods and building up their herds.
