Reckless Driving
Many Accidents

The list of accidents the past week
in st. Francois county are volumin-
GUS. In fact we have been unable to
get anything like complete list of
such nlishaps, which have been caus-
ed, in the main, by foolish and reck-
less, driving. Of course, 1t may be
that half the machines in these acci-
dents were wholely innocent, through
their drivers, of any blame, as sin
gle fool driver is usually enough to
cause collision.
About IL o'clock Saturday night
Dan Bess of this city, who runs SER
vice car, was on trip to Flat River,
with B, H. Boyer as passenger.
Near Leadington their car collided
with the car Of VIM. Hawkins, who is
employed at State Hospital No, d,
which was headed this way. Our re-
port is there was woman passenger
in Hawkins car. The collision must
have been of considerable force, judg-
ing by the condition in which each car
was after the impact.
Mr.. Boyer was apparently thrown
head-first over the door on the side
he was sitting, landing probably on
his head in the roadway some dis
tance away. While he was consid-
erably SCARED and bruised about his
head and body, he was able to be
about the next day. The most re-
markable part of the collision seems
to be that he was not killed outright.
No one else, in either machine, was re-
ported hurt.
Quite a crowd soon gathered at the
scene of the accident, and to show the
apparent recklessness of some driv-
ers, another car ran up into the crowd
and collided with another car that
was stationary, which added consid-
cradle to the excitement and confu-
sion.
About a mile further along this
same road, on Federal hill, in Flat
River the same evening, another col
lision occurred, resulting in two bad
ly smashed cars, though we failed to
hear that anyone was injured in this
smash.
The Times would insist on its re-
cent suggestion, that auto owners
throughout the. county organize for
their own protection. and employ a
necessary number of lnen to police
the highways. Some such action ap-
pears to be the only restraint to be
thrown around road hogs, the scintil-
lating light fiend, the ones who run
without lights, and all other forms of
auto outlawry. Also the drunk should
be kept permanently from the high
way as chaffeur.

Must Have More Clover.

The fertility of Missouri farms cam
not be maintained without clover, says
M. F. Miller, for II years professor
of soils at the Missouri College of Ag-
riculture and conceded to be the high
est authority on the soil problems of
the state. Only one acre in twenty
five of the states cultivated land is
now growing this crop. Yet the pro-
per maintenance of soil fertilizer de-
mands that this acreage be increased
to one acre in FIVE
With the single exception of unfa-
vorable seasons the difficulties in the
way of growing good stands of this
indispensable crop can be overcome.
The soils need of lime, manure, phos-
phorus and proper drainage, can all be
remedied. Poor seed and improper
seeding methods can be avoided.
Based on these fundamental facts a
lCover and Prosperity Campaign has
become the first order of business in
ten Northeast Missouri counties. Co.
operating with the local farm oragn-
izations in this big movement the
Missouri Agricultural Extension Ser
vice will begin a five weeks tour by
truck July 1, holding two demonstra-
tion meetings in each of these ten
counties.

Wheat Fields to be Inspected June
7th and Sfh.

G. E. Carter, of the Field Crops De-
partment Of the University OF Mis-
souri,, will be in the county, on june
7th and Sth to inspect fields of wheat.
This inspection viii be for the purpose
of securing wheat that can be approx
ed by the Corn Growers Association.
To receive the stamp of approval OF
the Association wheat must contain
little, if any, smut; be reasonably pure
from other varieties of wheat; be free
from weed seed.
Approved and certified seed is worth
from so to 100 per cent more than un-
approved seed, as has been shown by
the demand for the approved seed the
past year. The loss from loose smut
in wheat this year is serious. To IL
lustrate this the following report, Sc
cured by an examination of an ether
wise good field of wheat is given.
This count was made by making a
wire hoop and tossing it out some dis
tance in the wheat from the : place
where the operator stood. The follow
ing is the report:

Decoration
Day Services

Decoration Day was patriotically OBJ
served May 80, by the citizens of
Pennington. The churches and Or
ganizations of the city co-operated to
make the memorial service both in
structive and impressive and all bus
mess houses closed at | o'clock so
that everyone might attend the pa
rade and the program at the Monarch.
The splendid Desloge band, direct
ed by Rev. ]. S. Cunningham, was
present and rendered excellent music.
At 2 p. m. the old veterans assembled
on Columbia street and along with a
number of young Farmingtonians, in
cluding the children of the Presby-
terian Orphans Home who carried
beautiful bouquets of flowers, they
formed in line of parade and, led by
the band, marched to the Monarch
theatre where the following program
was rendered:

pressive ceremonies.

Pennington Wins
From Crystal City

The Pennington base ball team met
and decisively defeated the Crystal
City All Stars in hotly contested
game last Sunday. This game should
put our boys on real edge for the
game at Bonnie Terre next Sunday.
The Crystal City team came with a
splendid reputation, and our boys ex-
pected a real test, which makes the
victory all the more appreciated. Had
it not been for little misjudgfnent of
a fly ball in the outfeld, Crystal
City would have met with a shut-out
through the splendid pitching Of our
old reliable Tom Murrill. 1t was a
pitchers battle from the start, be-
tween Perkins and Murrill.
Crystal City had the edge l to 0
until the 5th inning, when our boys
tied the score Perkins, however,
weakened after this, and the home
boys securing II hits in the last three
innings. The only thing that marred a
splendid game, was close decision at
Bird base. This is to be much regret
ted, as it always causes more or less
dissatisfaction. The home boys vic
tory, however, was clean-cut, as this
decision did not affect the final out
come, the Pennington boys having
earned two runs on four clean hits
in the 8th inning.
One of the pleasing features of the
game was the playing of our friend,
Jap Priester, at End base. The team
wishes to thank the fans for their 10y
al support, as the game was quite a
burden financially, but the gate re-
ceipts were large enough to meet all
obligations, and left few dollars in
the treasury.

GEIS-HAILE

On Thursday, June /, occurred the
wedding of one of Farmington's most
charming and popular young ladies,
Miss Jessamine Mae Halle, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar l.. Halle, who
was united in marriage to Leonard B.
Gels, of Federal.
The wedding took place at 2
O'Clock at the home of the brides par
ents on West Liberty street. The
house was beautifully decorated with
ferns and cut flowers. The bay-win-
dow of the library, where the cere-
mony was performed was banked with
ferns and lilies and the bridal couple
stood under an arch of daisies and as
paragus. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. r. L. King of the
Presbyterian church. Only the rela-
tives of the couple were present, and
among the out-of-town guests were
the groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. B
J. Gels, of Philadelphia. The bride
wore dress of fiesh-colored organ
die with a georgette hat to match
She was unattended. A small recep-
ton followed the wedding, after
which the happy couple left for a
short honeymoon in st. Louis. They
will return today and large recep-
tion will be given tomorrow.
Among the numerous presents was
strand of pearls and a diamond
bracelet, gifts of the groom's par
ents.
In the fall the couple will make a
tour of the East, after which they
will make their home in Pennington.
The Times extends to the young
couple their congratulations and best
wishes for long and happy married
life.

Schramn EN-
ployees Picnic

The Schramm brcthers, owners of
large business establishments in
Pennington and Flat River, gave a
picnic for their employees Tuesday af-
ternoon in Clardy's grove. Convey
ances were furnished to transport the
crowd to the picnic grounds and ice
cream, soda water and eats were tax.
en- in abundance. One of the features
of amusement was base ball game
between the Farmingtonians and the
Flat Riverites. The score was 12-11
in Farmington's favor. This was GER
tainly fine game for boys not ac-
customed to playing ball and was
much enjoyed by all the ladies as we'll
as the children and the players.
The two companies furnished re-
treshments free to all. The good la
dies came with well-filled baskets and
all enjoyed the good supper on the
grounds, there being about $50 at this
picnic, all of whom belonged to the
families of the employees of the two
companies. Everybody seemed to
have a good time.
The two companies are separate or
ganizations. the Schramm Bottling g.
Creamery Co., employing 20 men, and
the Flat River Ice & Coal Co., en-
ploying II men, making 81 men in
all who with their families attended
the picnic. F. w. Schramm is gene
raj manager of both companies, while
Charles p. Braun is assistant mana
ger of the Schramm Bottling &
Creamery Co., and Walter A.
Schramm is assistant manager of the
Flat River Ice and Coal Co.
The nature of the business of these
two companies being such that during
the summer months their employees
can never all get off from work at one
time for an outing, the managers
seeing a chance on Decoration Day
to close all three plants; for a half
day, decided to give all their employ
ees an outing for general get-to-
gether with their families, so as to
get acquainted and know each other
better.
Most of the employees have been
with these companies from five to ten
years.

The Grand Jury
is Investigating

The members OF the Grand Jury,
which has been summoned to appear
for work last Monday, all were here
when needed, and after charge from
Judge Huck, In which he told what
was expected Of them, promptly went
into executive session in the office
of the Assessor, where they are still
at work threshing out all alleged ir-
Irregularities and unlawfulness that
comes before them.
The Judges charge was brief and
to the point. He asked them to in
vestigate, as far as possible, into the
many old cases on the circuit court
docket, and render all possible as
sistance toward the cleaning up Of
such old cases, in preparation for the
change in the office of Prosecuting
Attorney, as Mr.. Golfer is not cam
didate to succeed himself, and it is de-
sired that the new incumbent in that
office be not burdened by the mass Of
old business that has accumulated.
He further instructed the members
of the grand jury that they make
searching investigation into the many
rumors that have, for some time been
thC PdbhAC Cdi ACb6k0T
ing defalcations in enforcing the IL
quor law. Such rumors make it ap-
pear that the morale of some of the
officers in the Lead Belt IS at an
alarmingly low ebb; that boot-leggers
have been paying the peace officers
for the privilege" of carrying on
their damnable business.
Judge Huck was by no means con-
WINGED of the truthfulness of any such
rumors, and yet he admitted that
there may be some foundation for
some of them. Therefore he wanted
the most searching Investigation pos
sible made into such rumors and
bring out the exact truth. He felt he
could trust the twelve men then before
him to do this work in the best and
most thorough manner possible.
The twelve men serving on this
grand jury are among the best and
most dependable in the entire county,
and whatever things they may do will
bear the mark of highest approval
by all good citizens. As yet they
have made no report of their proceed,
ings, but The Times is informed that
they will perhaps finish their work
by tomorrow.

The MicrObe of
Love" In0culates

"The Microbe of Love-, which was
presented at the Monarch theatre last
Tuesday evening, inoculated, not only
the youthful bachelors who took part
in the play, but also the audience.
However there was a slight difference
in the inoculation, for the bachelors
were seized with the love germ, where
as the audience must have caught the
.Iaughing sickness for the whole
house shook with laughter most of the
time.
This play was a home talent that
clearly demonstrated the ability Of
the Pennington people to put any
thing over on short notice, in capital
style. The cast which had but week
Of practice acted with the ease and
grace Of professionals. The play was
given under the auspices of the Pres
bytetian Aid Society and was directed
BY Miss Elizabeth E. Spence, of the
Wayne Ps Sewell Lyceum and Produc-
ing Co., Of Atlanta, Ga. Miss Spence
also took the leading role, that of
Madam Cupid and demonstrated to
the audience her ability both as an
actress and director.
The play consisted of three acts
with special numbers between.
Act one disclosed meeting of the
Spinsters' organization, In which thir-
teen lonely spinsters talked over their
prospects and chances and finally
called Madam Cupid to their aid in
catching a man. This act was made
very amusing by the colorful and rid
iculous costumes of the spinsters and
also by the splendid acting of those
in the scene, particularly Mrs. c. Y.
White, who acted the role Of Priscilla
Ppunes, president of the organization.
Ula Bugg and Helen Marty also made
hit as old fashioned girls in a song
in which they were assisted by cho-
rus of girls.
Between acts came a humorous
sketch by the cleft Over Sisters, who
called ON Mrs. jeremiah Henpeck for
advice on Catching and holding hus-
bands" In this sketch were Miss En-
ilv Matkin, Miss Myra Dobbine. MRS
W. C. billiard and Miss Mary Butter
field. Joe Swink and the chorus also
appeared in song, "The Women
Won't Let Me Alone"
Act two was meeting of the
Bachelors Club. jeremiah Henpeck
was there warning them to beware Of
married life but he was interrupted by
Nine Cupid, who came distributing
love microbes, which at once pierced
the hearts of the bachelors.
The final art was the Garden Party,
where the bachelors met the spinsters
and one by one they chose their life
partners. Finally only Billy Bache-
Tor was left and what should he do
but fall for the Madam Cupid. And
SO amid the ringing of wedding bells
and joyful songs of the happy spins
ters the curtain fell.
Especially good were the chorus
girls, who had to appear several
times in each act, but with each ap-
pearance they gained new triumphs.
Harry Smith as Jeremiah Henpeck"
and Ted Graves as "Billy Bachelor"
also deserve much credit.

The Times Contest
( Was Grand Success

The Times Salesmanship Confess
came to close last Saturday evening
at 8 o'clock, after a six weeks period.
PThe results accomplished were fine
and are entirely satisfactory to The
Times management.
This contest was very largely in
spired by the desire to demonstrate to
the people Of this county that a high
class subscription and business con-
test could be conducted and closed
without any just seriticism Of its
management, from first to last.
Therefore the prizes offered were
the finest and most costly of any that
has heretofore been offered in a sim
liar contest, which drew into the
struggle some splendid workers,
though the number thus engaged were
not so many as we at first hoped to
have.
But as the struggle progressed it
became apparent there we're lin the
contest some real business producers,
and the results of their efforts were
more satisfactory to The Times man.
agement than scores of less Jealous
workers would have been.
The result is gratifying for the rea-
son that we feel our principal desire
has been accomplished-that the peo-
pie Of the county generally have been
brought into agreement with us on
the proposition that a high-class con-
test can be inaugurated and closed
without the adverse criticism that has
characterized most, if not all, the
newspaper contests that have hereto
fore been put on in this county.
Another desire of The Times man.
ageinent was accomplished in this
contest. That was the material in
crease of the circulation of this pa
per, which was satisfactorily accom-
plished This paper now has a cir
culation in st. Francois county Sec
ond to no other paper, so that we will
not "hold the bag" for anyone when
it comes to a real county circulation.
The Times management also feels
that the contest just closed has as
sisted wonderfully in trampling down
any and all little opposition that had
sprung up under the present manage
nient, and that hereafter such oppo-
sition as remains will be even less po-
tent than it may have been in the past.
In other words, we believe The Times
reputation is 100 per cent, for doing
Just what it promises to do; that its
word is as good as its bond.
While the prize list was unusually
costly, we are satisfied with the re-
suits, and our thanks and best wishes
so wfsh the prizes for their complete
enjoyment. We feel they We're fairly
earned by the industry and effort put
forth, even though the contest period
was only six short weeks.
The first prize, a Special Studebak-
er Six, passenger touring car, value
81 $50, was won by Guy Perkins.
Miss Julia Alexander secured the
second prize, Ford Roadster, value
$376.S8.
The third prize, a $4,000 Grafono-
la, was won by Rev. j. A. Cunning
ham.
Miss Ora Akers secured the fourth
prize, $72 in cash.
The fifth prize, a 25-piece set of
Alvin silverware and cabinet, went to
Miss Bridget Pratte.
