Saturday is the day of days in The
Pennington Times $4,000 Salesman
ship Club.
The first period ends May 13-just
two more days to WIN OR LOSE
prizes worth thousands of dollars.
Records will be made and broken
within the next 48 hours. 1t is now
or never, and every Cub Member
should realize that to the full. Of
course, the campaign does not come to
a close until May %, bit the BIG
PRIZE WINNERS are sure to be
among those who take the greatest
advantage of the big credit schedule
NOW.
Only Two More Big Days.
Never before in the history Of this
campaign have so many credits been
issued for subscripticns-never again
will it be possible to get as many
ballots for orders. Just TWO more
days and the BIG credits will be a
thing of the past. To WIN or not to
win is the question of the hour.
The First Period will end with the
closing of the Pennington Times Of
fee Saturday night at 8 p. m. That
it will be a fight to the finish is a
foregone conclusion. Club members
are battling with might and main to
take every advantage of the most i'm
portant hours of the entire race.
IF YOU HAVE CONTEMPLATE
ED HELPING A FRIEND IN THIS
CAMPAIGN, SUBSCRIBE BEFORE
NINE O'CLOCK SATURDTY
NIGHT AND GIVE YOUR FAVOR
ITE THE BENEFIT OF THE BIG
CREDITS.
After Saturday night the credit
schedule goes down, down, down, and
the voting power of subscriptions is
reduced tremendously. Therefore,
ACT NOW.
1t appears that this campaign is
destined to be an extra close one, for
only few long term subscriptions
separate the leaders and so many are
close together that none are high,
Just club or two of subscriptions
would change the entire lineup and
single days effort would bring the
lowest club member up equal to to-
days leader.
Anyone May Win.
Each leading member at the pres
ent time seems to have carved niche
for themselves, but as is oftentimes
the case, all calculations are quite
likely to be upset when the battle is
over at the Saturday night count. So
close are they arrayed that it is any
ones race and it is up to the indi-
vidual members and their friends to
improve their chances for the Crane
Capital Prize before the credits take
tumble.
With but two more days in which
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-05-12

to turn in subscriptions and secure
MAXIMUM credits for the same, and
with but three weeks to go before
the race comes to a close, interest in
the competition intensifies.
Each club member realizes that
the big prize, stupendous in value, is
practically in reach either to be claim
ed for your very own or forfeited to
more aggressive opponents during the
few weeks, depending to a great ex-
tent on the efforts put forth while the
BIG credits are being issued.
How "Period" Will Close.
The "First Period" will end with
the closing of The Pennington Times
office Saturday night. The time is
set for p. m., but should club men,
bers not be able to report in full by
that hour the time will be extended
to meet the requirements, if they ad-
wise the campaign manager in ad-
vance.
Club members are requested to
come to The Pennington Times office
as early in the evening as convenient,
beginning at z p. m. They will be
wAit&d q individually in order--first
come, first served. .
The Pennington Times office will
be closed as soon as all the club men,
bers have reported in full, and with its
closing the First Period ends and the
big credits will be over. There will
positively be no subscriptions accept
ed for the First Period after Satur-
day night no matter what the condi-
tions, except subscriptions contained
in letters postmarked Saturday, May
13. This permits country members
residing outside of Pennington to mail
subscriptions as late as the closing
hour of the First Period and get big
credits even if the letters do not reach
The Times office until Monday, pro-
vided they bear pOstmark of May 13.
Don't forget that this is battle
hereafter. If you halt now for mo-
ment or weaken for a SINGLE day,
or f you overlook one opportunity to
better your chances to win, you are
taking the desperate chance of losing
the lovely $1650 Studebaker Six Tour
ing Car, already partially won and
which really belongs to you. You are
nearly certain to bring dismal disap-
pointment upon yourself as well as
your friends who will feel your defeat
as keenly as yourself.
The closing of this First Period is
ALL-IMP0RTANT. Don't forget that
fact for moment. Still, it is only a
step forward-not goal. The goal
is May 27, when the campaign ends
but every forward step is nearing the
goal and the "First Period" represents
the biggest step in the whole cam
paign.
Liken yourself to Gulliver and ster
over the heads of your competitors
you can do it if you try.

Fine Club House
for This Vicinity

With commendable industry and en-
terprise, for the past year or more,
Taylor Smith has been working on a
prospective club house, about half a
mile south Of pelsasRus, adjacent to
the we'll ziiSNn SBfo1Aeyer swimming
pool. Taylor has secured So acres,
which includes the swimming pool,
and that he has not been loafing on
the job even bird's-eye view of the
many improvements he has made in
that property will testify.
Aside from the remodeling of the
house, perhaps the greatest improve
ment on this ideally situated tract of
land is a splendid nfne-hole golf
course which indicates the touches of
an expert in its planning. And Taylor
informed the writer that such is real
ly the case, as an expert from St.
Louis county had really laid out the
course, which in it's present some
what crude state has an irresistible
lure for even an amateur golfer.
But all through this tract wonders
have been worked, and are still in pro-
gress, toward making this real
pleasure and recreation resort. While
as yet there are many natural hazards
on the golf course, it only requires
greater skill in order to overcome
their handicap. But the putting green's
and the tee boxes are calculated to
make the true golfer almost, if not en-
tlrely, forget the distances to be-
traversed between the greens. The
grounds are being constantly rolled,
and there are splendid prospects that
| by next season there will be an ex-
cellent sod throughout the entire
course, where in parts the grass and
clover are now just making a stand.
| But to those who have never learned
the attractions Of golf there will also
be many things of interest and enter
tainment on these grounds, which are
rapidly being converted into delight
full playground. Besides the swim
ming pool, which has already become
popular, there will be a tennis court,
croqqet grounds, horse pitching
grounds, etc. There is also a splendid
apple orchard with plenty of shade,
which will have attraction for the kid
dies and others. But the club house
itself will be most attractive, with it's
iaLBC SOol Iooinn anu It's tDTOau SndOy
porch, which will be plentifully sup
piled with large easy chairs and tables,
where many different games will per-
haps usually be in progress.
The Club will be maintained on a
membership basis, the organization Of
which will be started Immediately. The
opening will be sometime next week,
announcement Of which will be made
later.

Radio Concerts

The radio apparatus in McKinney's
Is row completed, ard is giving the
best possible Service, to the great en-
joyment of the crowds that gather in
that popular resort each evening. This
equipment has added wonderfully to
the attractiveness of McKinney's
Whenever weather conditions are
right, clear and devoid of lightning or
other electrical disturbances, this
radiogram can be depended upon to
check up these messages that are fly
ing through the air with lightning
like velocity, and given those in wait
ing the benefit of wonderful and in
structive messages and concerts, en-
'enating, it may be, thousands of miles
away. hst
When the air1is clear and there ap-
pears to be no electrical disturbances
to interfere, the probability viii DC
that you will be able to enjoy hearing
a remarkable concert over this truly
wonderful machine by dropping into
McKinney's, as they have an ampli-
fer that makes the messages distinct
throughout the building.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-05-12

were assured that thorough canvass
of the city would be made, to see how
many students could be provided for,
just as soon as the governments ap-
proval is received. 1t is earnestly de-
sired by all who were present that the
number Of ex-service men who will
soon be attending this school will
run up to $50 or 200. 1t was Mr..
Lapping's opinion that perhaps $50
could be accommodated in those ideal
quarters.
Reports were called for from the
different committeeman as to the pro
gress of work in their several depart
ments, but nothing Of special interest
was thus developed, except in regard
to cleanup work, which is in progress,
and work Of hauling off all man
ner of debris is going on, under
management of city authorities, and
there is noticeable activity in regard
to general cleaning usis hitting up
and beautifying throueEa !. the city.
County Agent Coplen being called
upon, reported that there would be a
Better Bull Sale" in Pennington on
Saturday, May 9th, which was expec-
ted to be Of unusual interest, as there
will then be offered for sale num-
Der of registered bulls, which may be
bought at prices no higher than plain,
ordinary bulls are worth. This move
has been set on foot by enterprising
stockmen, who know and are also
willing to make personal sacrifices in
order to improve breeding in their own
home county. Mr.. Coplen expects this
Better Bull Sale" to be of great in
terest.
1t was then decided that the C. of
c. join in the spirit of the occasion,
and motion was enthusiastically
adopted that May 9th be made a
special sales day in Pennington, when
the different stores will be solicited
to make drawing" prices on some ar
ticle, or articles, in order TO add addi-
tional inducements to swell the crowd
that day.
All in all this was perhaps the most
successful and encouraging meeting
of the Chamber that has ever been
held. Mayor Tetley also reported that
he expected actual operations on the
fine community building in Farming
ton to begin soon.

One Hundredth
Anniversary

On the third Sunday in May a hum
dred years ago, the Christian church
at Libertvville was organized, and
records prove this to have been the
first church of that denomination or
ganized west Of the Mississippi River.
Such annual observance this year will
be held on the 3rd Sunday, May 21st.
AS has been the custom for many,
many years, this occasion has annual
ly. been observed by that organization,
and the good people of that vicinity,
with a church rally and picnic dinner,
at which many from distance are
usually in attendance. In fact many
who have formerly lived in that splen-
did old community, or have friends
there, have grown to look forward to
such event as the time for visit
there.
The centennial of the establishment
and efforts will be made to make the
affair in way commensurate with the
occasion, at least in seeing to it that
all who attend will be made most well
come. It would seem, however, that
such an occasion is deserving of far
greater and more extended observance
than has heretofore marked such an
nual gatherings, 1t would seem fit
ting that the congregations from the
entire State should Join in such OBJ
servance to the parent church Of all
the vast territory lying west of the
Mississippi.
Anyway, great crowd is expected

S. S. Contest Be
coming Interesting

The friendly rivalry which was be-
gun last Sunday among the five dlf-
ferent protestant Sunday schools OF
this city, for the largest percentage OF
attendance during the four remain
ing Sundays of May, brought forth
most surprising results at all the
different churches. Many old mem
bers, who had perhaps almost for
gotten all about their church, ex-
cept that their names are on the
membership roll, turned out and
seemed to be renewed and rejuvinated
from the delightful exercise it afford
ed, as all appeared to be overtiowing
with happiness and love for all OF the
great crowds that were everywhere
in attendance.
Last Sunday, which was the first in
the contest period, the Christian
church showed the largest percentage
of attendance, of about lo5 per
per cent. increase. or just about twice
their usual attendance. The M. e.
South was a close second with about
ITS per cent. increase. The regular
attendance at this school is consider
ably larger, and the total increase was
much greater, but the percentage
did not run so high, and it is the
cent increase, or just about twice
percentage of attendance that will
decide the contest. Ali the other
schools showed wonderful increases
in attendance, and it was really in
spring to be among these different
congregations, to note and feel the
happy, hearty handclasps and radiate
in the cheering and loving words OF
these revived religionists.
1t impressed the writer with the
idea that this was truly the greatest
revival of religion he has seen for
many years, if not the greatest he has
ever seen. Such work impresses US as
being long step toward bringing all
the people into closer communion
with the Meek and Lowly Nazarene
than they have often been. If such
effort can only be continued, not only
throughout the present month, but
during every month of the present
year, it seems that then there would
be strong probability that the entire
people would receive a new light on
their duty--which would then become

Shooting Afray
at Bonne Terre

Last Sunday afternoon at about 8
o'clock, Alton Craft aged about 10,
shot NJ. S. Norris, aged about 40, in
the stomach. At first Norris, who
was hurriedly conveyed to the Bonne
Terre Hospital, was supposed to be IA
tally injured, but latest reports are
that he is apparently improving, and
it is thought that he has a chance to
recover.
It seems that both parties had been
drinking about joint conducted by
the father of young Craft, and the al
legged trouble arose over some kind of
"a crazy notion. Craft was under pa
role in the Juvenile Division Of the
Circuit Court for carrying concealed
weapons. He is now in jail awaiting
the outcome Of Norris injury before
charges will be preferred against him.

Breckinridge Long
Here Next Week

Next week the Hon. Breckenridge
Long, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for United States Senator,
will deliver three speeches in st. Fran
co.'s county, as follows:
Bonne Terre, Friday evening, May
10, at O'Clock,
Flat River, Saturday evening, May
20, at 8 o'clock.
Farmigton, Saturday afternon, May
20, at 2 o'clock.
See posters and display notice in
this paper.
Mr.. Long is no stranger to the peo-
pie of st. Francois county and Of the
State. He was the Democratic nomi-
nee in the last campaign for the posi-
tion he now seeks and for which he is
backed by strong following of the
leading and most influential Demo-
Gratis of the State, but was defeated
with others of his party in the now
regretable political cyclone that swept
over the country two years ago. He
is a strong, virile, fighting Democrat;
a man whose unfailing loyalty, states
manship, knowledge Of foreign and
domestic issues and ability to deal
with great public questions were
thoroughly exemplified and tested as
Assistant Secretary of State under
the Wilson administration during the
World War. We would like for every
voter of st. Francois county, men and
women, to meet and hear him.
Remember the dates, time and
places named for his speakings, and
make your arrangements to hear him
at one of these places,

pleasure-to their Creator, and that
such services could be made so at
tractive that only sickness would be
able to keep the people away from
such service of love and devotion.
The Times truly hopes that such
manner of worship will be continued,
where the services of no exhorting
evangelist is needed or desired, but
where the only appeal that is made is
of service to the Infinite, through love
of his creatures. 1t is long step in
the right direction, and its continu-
ance will surely bring Christ's king
dom more near to earth.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-05-12

and will no doubt be present. as all
are cordially invited to come out and
enjoy this anniversary observance.
But all should bring lunch with
them, for while the people Of that
community are liberal feeders and
strong on hospitality, there is always
a chance for their preparations fall
ing short, which might necessitate
some from distance to suffer dis
comfort and inconvenience from lack
of food.
