An unusually large line of Boys and
Children's Shoes all at special prices dur

To say that the first period Of The
Pennington Times $3,000.O0 Sales
manship Club and Greater Circulation
Campaign was success is to put it
mildly.
Tens of thousands, yes, hundreds of
thousands of credits were issued on
the closing day of the period alone,
and each Club Member profited might
lily. A large number Of these credits
are in evidence today--the balance
will appear from time to time before
the end Of the race.
Still Anyone's Race.
AS this is written it is still anyone's
race, so far as the actual leadership
is concerned, but there seems to be
determined effort on the part of sew
eral club members to bring the mat
ter down to "brass tacks"--a show
down as it were. As to which of the
ladies or gentlemen will head the list
after Saturday nights count-we do
not care to venture a guess. A few
5-year subscriptions, with the REGU-
LAR and EXTRA credits that go with
them, would, if properly applied, lift
even the lowest on the list up to first
position--and little real hustling
from then on would maintain that po-
sition.
One thing more. With q goodly
number of enthusiastic boosters be-
hind each of the leading Club Mem
bert, and each group determined to
see their favorite the big winner some
exciting-even thrilling situations
will undoubtedly arise before the
ownership of the big prize is finally
decided on the evening Of Saturday,
May 9th.
Subscriptions Still Count Big.
During the second period up to and
including Wednesday, May oath, sub
scriptions still count pretty big; in
fact they will count for almost as
many now as during the first period.
For example: zone 5-year subscrip-
tion NOW counts 10000 credits when
secured in Pennington, and 25,000
when secured outside this city. Eight
5-year subscriptions will therefore
earn from 100000 to 100000 REGU-
LAR credits as against 100000 to
100000 in the first period. Now eight
5-year subscriptions at $3.50 each, to-
tai $50 or three "clubs"-for which
$4,000 EXTRA credits each are al
lowed, giving US a grand total of
from 100000 to $4,000 credits for
eight 5-year subscriptions.
Adv. and Job Cards Count.

I the campaign, credits will be allowed
on the sale of paid-in-advance cards
good for advertising in The Farming
ton Times and job printing Of. any Kind
whatsoever. These cards, which are
transferable, are issued in three
forms-$lO, $40 and $50 and are good
until June l, 1923.
The number of credits allowed for
the sale of these cards appears in the
advertisement on another page. They
will be supplied to all club members
during the remainder of the cam
paign.
10 every club member this is a mag
niftcent opportunity to increase credit
totals by leaps and bounds. The ad-
vertising columns Of The Pennington
Times will naturally be in great de-
mand as direct result of the in
creased circulation brought to it by
the campaign and live merchants and
business firms will be glad to help
real hpstlers to win real prize.
Nearly everyone uses job printing
of one kind or another during the
course of year, and that applies to
business and professional r1en, farm
ers, heads of clubs, lodges and socie-
ties, in fact, everybody. Some con-
Germs or individuals will use several
cards before June /, 1923, and the
first CLUB members to reach them will
naturally stand the best chance of
making the best sales.
Actual Test Still to Come.
All Indications point to a "whirl-
wind" finish. Sensations and sur
prises will follow one upon the other.
The "gameness" and resourcefulness
Of the candidates will be put to test
during the remaining days of the
campaign. Here is where courage up
holds them. and makes them fight, or
the Jack Of it takes the stiffness out
of thsir knees and leaves them trail
ing IL the dust-"afso rans". Some
times, too, supreme courage urges
them on when they tire and that is the
GAMEST FIGHT OF ALL.
Thousands of credits will be polled
between this and Wednesday, May "a
the end Of the second period.
The rules governing the Third Pc
riod--final week of the campaign,
will appear in next weeks paper.
WHO will lead Saturday night?

The time to succeed is when others
discouraged, show traces of tire; the
battle is fought on the home stretch,

Important Piece
of Road Neglected

The Times desires to again compli-
ment the st. Francois County Court,
as well as the road overseers of this
county, on the really excellent condi-
tion Of the roads in all parts of the
county. Perhaps never before were
the roads Throughout this county in
such splendid condition as they are at
present, Immediately after the pass
ing Of winter. There is one strip of
road, however, or rather several small
pieces of road in this county, between
Middlebrook and Pilot Knob, that has
evidently been overlooked, and is in
very great need of repair.
The writer has but recently learned
that any part of that road is in this
county, but it is really a fact that
that section Of road winds along the
boundary line between this and Iron
county for several miles, first in one
county then in the other, and perhaps
it is this very condition that has
caused that strip of road, important
though it is, to have been neglected,
as 1t will require the united efforts Of
both st. Francois and Iron counties
in order to put it in proper repair. 1t
would be useless for either county to
repair their parts of that road with
out the cooperation of the other coun-
ty, in order to secure finished pro-
duct. h"t 3$
The facts are, however, that there
are perhaps two or three miles of
such road, perhaps mostly in Iron
county, that is in greatest need of re-
pair. In many places its very foun-
dation has broken through, leaving it
in condition for rapid deterioration,
and even now, with heavy rains, such
places are calculated to make an au-
tomobile, or even team, hesitate be-
fore entering them. Comparatively
little work ON such scars would now
repair them, but if they are permit
ted to go for awhile longer without at
tention the work of restoring them
will be much greater.
The Times would suggest to the
County Court that it would perhaps
be a good idea if they would get in
touch with the Iron County Court
with the idea of cooperation in the
repair of this road, which is very
and much travelled high
way. The Iron County Court would
doubtless be willing to cooperate in
such reconstruction, as that road is
of great Importance to that county.
This road, from Pennington to Mid
all of which lies in this
county, is in splendid condition, and
it places 1. needless handicap on such
excellent work to have almost inn
passable barriers thrown into It on
the otheig std ''s@sifssy stsSsi

to its offspring as compared to the
power of the, pure-bred to do this. The
ability to transmit these qualities to
the offspring is perhaps ten to one
in favor of the pure-bred. For the
cattle breeder to raise beef cattle that
will dress out a high percentage of
the high priced cuts, he must use
pure-bred bulls that have been bred
for generations for this purpose. For
the dairyman to raise milk cows that
will produce good flow of milk for a
period of ten or eleven months in the
year, he must use bulls that have
come from a long line of ancestors
that have this quality. These points
must he looked for as well as for good
individuality.
At this sale in Pennington, on May
9th, both beef and dairy bulls will be
sold that have the above requirements.
The breeders feel that this will be
one of the most worthwhile ways Of
advertising their business. The be-
lieve that if a cattle owner once Sc
cures a pure-bred bull and uses him
that he will never again use a grade
or scrub. The breeders also believe
that when the cattle owners see that
it pays to use a pure-bred sire that it
will also pay to use pure-bred dam.
In fact, the sellers of these bulls be-
lieve that the time is here when a
farmer and stock owner must adver-
tise his business more-and that at
home.

Increasing S.
S. Attendance

That the contest among the five
protestant Sunday Schools in Farm
ington is accomplishing tangible re-.
suits, which in all probability will re-
suit to the ultimate good Of the entire
community, was again demonstrated
Sunday, when each of the churches in
this contest had largely increased at
tendance over the previous Sunday,
when the attendance was record
breaker. There is 10 doubt but that
last Sunday witnessed the largest at
tendance that any of the contesting
schools ever enjoyed. The churches
were literally crowded with children,
young, middle-aged and old people, all
acting with the happy abandon of
children.
It is not essential at this time to
give Sundays attendance at the va
Tious churches, but we will say that
the total number at the five contest
ing schools last Sunday was 1865,
which means that, after making al
lowance for the several other church
organizations in this city, practically
all the protestant population of Farm
ington enjoyed Sunday school services
last Lords day.
The manner in which the people
have taken up this splendid work is
both gratifying and astounding. Ev-
eryone seemed to be so happy to be
present at these services. They seem
to be very strongly imbued with the
true spirit of service that should char
acterize all Christians. Never before,
we believe, have we seen an entire
community so completely imbued with
a desire to serve as has been por-
trayed the past two Sundays at the
different churches.
For this reason we would repeat
what The Times stated last week,
that it is long step in the right di-
rection, a movement that seems to
appeal to everyone, and in which ev-
eryone seems willing and anxious to
take an active part. 1t is certainly
ample proof of the fact that all the
people, church members and nom
church members, are pleased-even
delighted-to render service to an
All-Wise Creator when course is
opened up to them for such service
that will not arouse discord and dis
agreement. We would also reiterate
our suggestion of last week that this
movement should be made or annual,
instead of monthly, affair.

Notice, Willard
Battery Owners

There is no one outside yourself
who is more vitally interested in see
ing that you get good service from
your battery than the Willard Com
pany and its representatives.
1t has been reported that novices or
so-called battery men have been open
ing and condemning Willard Threaded
Rubber Batteries and replacing
Threaded Rubber Insulation with
common wood separators such as
found in any other battery, they are
replacing those insulatOrs with sepa-
rators at GREAT COST to the own
er. An absolute injustice to the own
er of the battery.
Whoever the firms or novices are
that are doing this or advising their
customers to have it done, are, in our
minds, either badly in need of work
or they do not understand the battery
business.
Threaded Rubbed Insulation is
WARRANTED TO OUTLAST ANY
SET OF BATTERY PLATES. We, as
Willard Factory representatives, will
replace at any time (no time limit)
any Threaded Rubber Insulation that
is not right, without cost to the
owner.
Willard Threaded Rubber Batteries
are standard equipment on 1876 makes
of cars and trucks. If this insulation
isn't right these manufacturers
wouldn't pay the higher price for it,
nor would they use it as standard
equipment.
Threaded Rubber Insulation is not
an experiment. 1t has been used in
Willard Batteries for over years.
The Studebaker corporation were the
first to adopt Willard Threaded Rub
ber Insulated Batteries. They have
been using them since the fall of 1915
and are still using them. WHY?
Think it over.
Battery work is not side line with
US, 1t is our main issue. 1t is to
your advantage to sec US for battery
service because our reputation de-
pends on the kind of work and ser
vice we do on batteries. Our equip
ment is up to date. We know our
business. Through service we grow. ,

Difficulty in
Selecting Jury

The case of Herbert Turley and Ed
ward Porrier, on the charge of killing
James Birchall near Frankclay on the
evening Of Dec. 10th last, was set for
hearing on last Mondays docket of
the circuit court. The case was called
for hearing, according to schedule,
and arrangements for selecting a
qualified jury were begun. But this
proved to be a difficult matter, which
necessitated the postponement of the
opening Of the case until yesterday
morning, when the challenging of
those forty men who appeared to be
qualified for the trial of the case, in
accordance with the law and the ev-
idence, was begun. Of those forty,
who were selected only after much
work and delay. the defense has the
privilege of challenging twenty, while
the State is confined to eight chal-
lenges, so that it seems likely the
trial of the case will soon be permit
ted to proceed.
The great difficulty in selecting
that jury, however, opened the eyes
of all observers in regard to the ap-
parently rapid changes in the minds
of the people regarding jury service.
After many had been excused from
service on different grounds, consid-
erably more than half of the remain
der disqualified themselves, either on
account of their opposition to capital
punishment, or by reason of the fact
that they could not get their minds
consent, to pass the death sentence,
should the evidence Indicate a cold
blooded crime had been committed.
This was a practical demonstration OF
the fact that public opinion is rapidly
changing in regard to jury trials, as
well as jury sentences.
1t seems likely that radical changes
will soon have to be made in the trial
of cases, or in the qualifying of ju-
rors. as there is a very apparent in
creasing sentiment in the minds of
the people against their assuming the
real burdens of such trials, particu-
larlv jury trials. Few. if any, claim
infalli5iiity! and with all such pref
udice is growing against trying. and
.Dossiblyy sentencng,'a man to death.
1t seems that. manner of administer
ing puDishment is getting on the
nerves" of the people generally! J AA1
