PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Friday Of last week closed the third
six-weeks period of the present school
year. Regular Period Reports will be
sent to all parents indicating the
progress each pupil has made in his
school work. Parents are earnestly
requested to examine the reports very
carefully, and talk over with each child
the grades indicated on the report. If
any child fails to take his report home,
by the end of the week, please call his
teacher, if in the grades, and if in
the high school, tcall his faculty
adviser, or the principal, Mr.. Hal
iaman. After reports have been
carefully examined, they should be
signed. and returned to school. How
ever, no parent should sign a re-
port without first scrutinizing it care
lully, and satisfying himself that the
markings are understood in every de-
ail. If the report indicates that ans
hild is not doing satisfactory school
work, in whole or in part, the teacher
,r school management should be con
suited, and some definite plans formu-
lated for correcting the defect during
The next period. The school failure:

G. of c. Meeting
Monday Night

An interesting and profitable E:eet-
ing of the Chamber Of Commerce was
held Monday night, with President M.
r. Cayce in the chair. While there
was fair attendance, not nearly SO
many were in attendance as there
should have been, when the great i'm
portance of the work that is being
undertaken by that organization is
considered. The new secretary, Rol-
Ia Cozean, read the minutes of the last
meeting, which were adopted as read.
A number Of matters tending to
the good and improvement Of Farm
inRton and community were brought
up and discussed, and action taken to
carry sore of them to successful con-
clusion. Henry Manley, who is chair
man of the production department,
made an interesting report on some
work he has been doing, and suggest
ed the advisability of getting busy in
the encouragement of larger produc-
tion of tomatoes, beans, corn, straw
berries, ETC., for canning purposes, in
,, the production of which this commun-
ity Is particularly well adapted. With
sufficient production of such crops
canning factories could be made most
productive, and would also afford a
market for all such products. Not
only that, it would keep an inestima-
BILE amount of wealth right here at
home. His suggestions made an i'm
preston on his hearers, and he was
urged to continue along the lines OF
endeavor he had started, and both per-
sonal and financial aid was voted him
in his splendid efforts.
II. o. Williams, the recently elected
Secretary-Treasurer of the st. Fran
co.'s County Poultry Association, who
was visitor, was called on to ten
smething of the purposes of that or
ganization. He told in interesting
maner of what had been done thus far
and stated that the movement had beer
launched with the finest possible pros.
poets, and that it's future appeared
! bright and promising, He said the
| purpose was to encourage the produc'
ton of more and better poultry-any
breed desireG-just so it was pure
bred. He extended cordial invitation
to ali members to attend their next
meeting, which will be held on Feb. 4
ana tNpTeSSeN Lht HOPI tHnt Nai "OuiN
become members Of the Poultry Asso'
ciation.
The Chamber went on record with q
hearty endorsement Of the Poultry AS
soriation, and offered their assistance
at any time it may be desired in en-
couraging that movement.
i II was determined to launch mem
Abegsi.l drive farsthe Chamber. snt
next Wednesday, Jan. 25th, was agreed
upon as the time for beginning suci
drive, when efforts will be made to get
every citizen Of this community tc
add the weight Of their presence anc
influence TO the splendid and worthy
efforts the Chamber is now making fol
community betterment, which will
mean the betterment of every individ
ual.

Good Roads
and Others

The roads of st. Francois county
generally are now in.splendid condi-
tion, perhaps as good, if not better,
than they ever before have been, as a
whole. Much excellent and expert
work has been done on them during
the past year, so that it is very rare
that a really bad place is found in the
public highways, practically all Of
which have rock foundation and the
surface is generally smooth and in a
well kept condition. Regardless Of
weather conditions, one can now trav-
ell throughout the county, with posi-
tive assurance of reaching the desired
destination without the least trouble
from bad roads.
If there are any who fail to appre-
ciate the value of such roads as are
to be found in st. Francois county,
then the experience of travel on roads
in most other counties in this section
of the state would be enlightening to
them at this season Of the year. AT
ter such an experience, they would
doubtless return with a more correct
estimate of the value of roads such
as this county is possessed of. For
this excellent condition of the county
roads the County Court Judges are
very largely responsible, as it shows
they have used care and judgment in
the selection of road overseers, and
have also given all road matters much
personal attention.
There is but single "fiy in the
ointment" of good roads in this coun-
ty, however, and that is the deplora-
bic condition of many of the streets
right here in Pennington and various
towns in the lead belt. Going to and
from Pennington to Bonne Terre the
roads connecting the different towns
are practically as smooth and hard as
an approved boulevard. But when one
gets into, the confines of the various
towns there is found streets that are
far inferior. 1t is almost one con
tinual Jolt, until one gets beyond tht
thickly populated districts. The hole:
and depressions are so thick that il
you attempt to miss one of them yol
are sure to run into covey of others
Such things should not be permitted
to exist, just where the roads shoult
naturally be at their best. 1t doe
seem that the town authorities shoult
bestir themselves a little more in re
gard to this matter, as it is certainl.
true that town is judged, especial.
by strangers, very largely by the con
dition of its streets.

Poultry Associa-
ton Organized

A St. Francois County Poultry AS
sociation was organized last Satur-
day afternoon, in the Farm Bureau
offices in this city. A number of
chicken fanciers and breeders were in
attendance at the meeting, and the
movement was launched with consid-
cradle enthusiasm. The purpose Of
the organization is to put this county
well up toward the top among the
counties in the State as breeder and
producer of fine chickens, which is
recognized as one of the most produc-
tive of industries Of the future.
Already this county is entitled to
consideration in the production of
thoroughbred chickens, as was
abundantly demonstrated at the ex-
hibit made during the fair here last
fall, when there were displayed sew
eral hundred coops of chickens that
would have been most ereditable even
at q State fair, especially to the
amateur fancier. But this new asso-
citation proposes to greatly expand
rlsd enlarge the breeding of fine chick.
ems in this county, though there Will
be no effort to boost one breed above
another, so long as they are purebred
stock.
The organization was perfected by
the election of the following officers
for tho year:
President-G. S. Powell.
MISUNDERSTANDING Calvird.
Sec. -Treas.-H. o. Williams.
Executive Committee-Elbert Hunt
A. P. DENLY, Barton Wagner, Mrs
Chas. Hopkins and Mrs. J. E, Beard.
The next meeting of the association
will be held in this city on Saturday,
Feb. 4th, when all who are interested
in the poultry industry are urged to
be present and participate. At that
meeting bylaws will be submitted and
perhaps adopted, and all are invited
to become members of the Associa.
tion. The dues will be 81 year, Of
which SOC will be used to keep up the
local organization, while soc will be
sent to the State Poultry Association
for each member, which will automat
ically make them all members of the
State Association also, emitting eacf
to all the information and literature
that is being sent out constantly by
the State organization. 1t is mos
worthy organization, which will
doubtless result in inestimable benefit
not only to the members, but also t.
this entire county.

Of pupils are very serious matters,
and should, If possible, be corrected at
once. Report cards indicate serious
efforts on the part Of teachers and the
school management to keep parents
informed regarding the progress Of
the child, his attendance, apparent eff
fort, and school attitude. The report
is worthy of your attention. Do not
pass it by lightly.
DR.. w. J. Hawkins, Field Secretary
of Washington University, made his
annual visit to the high school on
Wednesday morning, and addressed
the student body in his usual pleasing
and instructive manner. His theme
was "The Value Of Higher Education

lens" DR.. Hawkins showed the ne
cessity for higher education in meet
ing and solving the intricate and So
cial problems of the present. While

ed out to them some of the advantag-
es of Washington University.
Mid-winter athletic activities are IN
full operation in the st. Francois
County High School Association, OF
which Pennington High School is a
member. On last Friday evening both
the girls and boys basket ball teams
of clad Wood High School met simi-
lar teams of the local high school, on
the Pennington court. Both games
were well played and rather vigor-
,ously contested. The Pennington
girls showed great improvement, and
played very effective game on de.
fense. Their offense, though moi
strong, resulted in a very pleasing
score. They defeated the LeadwooG
girls by the score of ID to 0. Their
Irecent great improvement indicates
that they are strongly in the race fol
the indoor penant in basket ball. The
Pennington boys, led by their invinc
ible captain, Geo. Detring, had a much
harder contest, but succeeded in win
ming by the score of Is to 8. Thi!

Madison County
Has Sportsnen

The Democrat -Ncws of Frederick
town last week had a story on est.
Francois is Stocked With Bass;
Others Promised, in which it tells of
how "the Silver Mountain Fish and
Game Club" has "planted 10000 baby
bass" in that stream, and closes with
the following paragraph:
"Just at this time while st. Fran
co.'s county fishermen are having an
other spasm against the Silver Mine
dam, it is particularly noticeable that
they are doing nothing to restock the
waters of the st. Francois in their
county. Their complaints of poor
fishing above the dam would be taken
with more consideration if they show
ed the interest in planting baby fish
that is being shown by Madison coun-
ty sportsmen."
1t seems just little unkind to thus
"show up" the amateur sportsmen of
this county, who could hardly be ex-
pected to afford the expense such
prodigal expenditure of "baby bass"
which expenditure must have been
enormous. All our "cheap" sports
men desire is that the Silver Noun
tain Dam" be opened, thus removing
an impassable barrier in that stream
and giving the fish chance to propa-
gate in their natural way. Then, if
the natural propagation of fish is not
sufficient to supply that stream with
scaly denizens, they might also sue
ceed in getting few "babies" to turn
loose in the upper waters of that
stream, even though the price may be
enormously high for their pocket
books. May we ask the Democrat
News about what those "babies" cost
per head?

Have You Made
a Contribution

An error has crept into the minds
of many regarding the raising o.
funds for the Woodrow Wilson Foun.
dation project. 1t seems quite prob-
able that such error can be traced to
the statement that St. Francois coun4
ty's quota of 5000 would be raised II
each precinct raised the sum of $40.
While that is true, there are quite a
number Of precincts in the county
where perhaps no contributions will
bo raised.
Anyway there would be no sense or
reason in such an opportionment, No
community need fear an overcontrs-
button. All should raise what they
can. Those communities with large
population and great wealth will not
discontinue such worthy endeavpr
when a certain amount has been Sc
cured for this worthy work. Anyone
wishing to make a contribution to the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation fund
should hand it to ]. C. Watson, chair
man Of the county organization, or
send it to him in Pennington, or 10
anyone else who has been authorizes
to solicit for this fund.
