Railroad Com
mittee at Work

A few members of the Chamber of
Commerce met Monday evening in
the office OF the Bank Of Pennington
for the purpose Of taking the initial
steps in outlining a proposed new
time schedule for the electric line
from Flat River to DeLassus, as well
as to formulate suggestions as to
what the citizens of Pennington
thought ought to done in regard to
the rates and other matters that
might tend to re-establish that road as
passenger carrying service, as well
as to select committee TO make such
report to the officials of that road.
All of which was in accordance with
q request from the management of
that line.
The entire situation was entered in
to IN a thorough manner and many
interesting and enlightening points
were brought out Those present
gave themselves wholly to the matter
of serving in the best possible way
both the electric line and this COM
munity, fully realizing that without
the whole-hearted support of the one
the other would be seriously impair
ed, and that in cooperation there is
strength. The present time card of
the electric line was gone over in a
careful and painstaking manner, and
1t was unanimously agreed to sug-
gest quite number of additional
daily runs between this city and Flat
River, which would make that service
practically 100 per cent perfect.
1t was also agreed that the rail-
road committee should recommend to
the railroad management that plat
form be built in front Of the depot in
Flat River for the convenience of pas
sengers to and from Pennington, and
that the doors on the electric car side
should be opened on incoming trains
for public convenience. These were
the principal suggestions on which the
committee were instructed to act,
and II was the opinion of all who
were present that when the service
furnished by the electric line was
brought up to the standard it would
be by the improvements and changes
suggested, that there would not be any
further need for bus lines, which
would soon be compelled to withdraw
from the field for want Of patrons.
M. p. Cayce, president Of the
Chamber Of Commerce, who had been
previously authorized to appoint a
railroad committee, insisted that such
committee be selected by the entire
gathering. His suggestion being act
cd upon resulted in the selection of
Mayor Tetley, M. P. Cayce and G, B.
SniG1s The committee was urged to
use all possible haste in making the
suggested report to the management
of the electric line, in the hope that
the proposed new order Of things
might be inaugurated just as soon as
possible. Thus it seems that by the
injection of little understanding
and cooperation, among forces which
have long been pulling against each
other, much and lasting good will be
accomplished for this entire commun-
ity.

months of school and smaller num-
Der in the first four months, seems
more advisable than none in the last
five with half-dozen the first four.
What think ye?
A great many Pennington parents
are cooperating Loyalty in securing
the home study Of high school and up
per grade pupils. The habit is grow
ing and promises to become general
with all the high school pupils. Let
us repeat il again. Every high school
pupil needs to devote from one and
one-half hours to two hours to unin-
terrupted home study for every school
day in the week. That amount is the
minimum. Two and one-half or even
three hours for vigorous pupils will
produce better results and soon make
school work a delight. The confer
ence recently held at the high school
in which parents and faculty members
considered the problem of home study,
attendance, etc., has resulted in much
good and promises to grow in impor-
tance as the school year advances.

Jubilee Celebra-
ton at St. Joseph's

A very elaborate and appropriate
ceremony was held at st. Joseph's
Church on Tuesday morning, Nov. 2S,
on the occasion Of the fiftieth ami
versary Of the First Catholic church
lat Pennington.
The celebration opened at s o'clock
with mass at which twelve of the
children of the parish school received
their first Holy Communion. The
mass was said and very practical
instruction given by the pastor, Fa-
ther Kelley.
At ten o'clock Solemn Jubilee
Mass was sung by Rev. L. Blankimier
of Arcadia, assisted by Rev. ]. J.
Duggan of st. Louis as Deacon, and
Rev. John Cunningham Of Desloge as
sub-Deacon. The Master of Ceremo-
nies was Rev. ], Moser Of Bonne
Terre.
A very eloquent and beautiful SER
mon was preached by Rev. Jos. f.
English of st. Louis. Father English
reviewed the history Of the Catholic
church in general and st. Joseph's
church in particular.
Besides the priests already mention
ed, the following were present in the
sanctuary: Rev. ]. P. Newman of De-
Soto, Rev. w. +. Mullaly of st. Louis,
Rev. F. Mispagel Of Fredericktown,
Rev. ]. Walsh of Coffman, Rev. A.
Menge of st. Geneyieve, Rev. G.
Brinkman Of Bonne Terre, the largest
number of priests present at any one
celebration in the history Of Farm
ington.
The musical program under the di-
rection Of Mr.. B. T. Gentges as di-
rector and Mrs. Lee Rariden as or
ganist, was very well rendered. The
'altars were very beautifully and har-
moniOusly decorated by Miss Villa
Ryan and assistants, Misses Velma
Miles and Lillian Ryan.
In the evening at the Monarch the
atre the Parish Dramatic Society pre-
sented in a very creditable manner
"Polly in Politics.. Those taking part
were: Messrs. Fred Isenman, Herman
Niedert, John Mueller, Ben Riney and
Willis Antoine; Misses Genevieve
Huss, Lillian Ryan, Velma Miles and
Cecilia Gentges. Between the acts
Prof. Hugh Porter favored with seve-
raj violin selections as only Mr.. Porter
can. Miss Ella Kelley, of Edna, won
favor with the audience by her vocal
selections. A nine-piece orchestra,
under the direction of Rev. ]. A. Cum
ningham of Desloge, climaxed per-
feet day.

Farm Bureau Notes
Annual Meeting of the Farm Bureau
Saturday, Dec. 9Th.

A large attendance is hoped for al
the all-day annual meeting of the
Farm Bureau, Saturday, Dec. 9th. One
of the most important things to be
taken up is the election of officers
for the coming year, and the selec-
ton of members to serve on the Ag-
ricultural Council.
Sam Jordan, of the State Board of
Agriculture, has. been asked to make
an address. Those people who have
heard Mr.. Jordan, know that he has
a message worth hearing. Mrs. Roy
Johnson, Of near Pennington, will be
one of the speakers on the program.
AS a speaker, Mrs. Johnson has a
reputation among those people who
have heard her, that places her among
the best Farm Bureau speakers in
the State.
Every Farm Bureau member should
take vital interest," in this annual
meeting. The Farm Bureau aaYe or
ganized for service to the farmers
and suggestions for its betterment
are always welcome. especially so at
the time of the annual meeting. Those
communities that have not selected
their, nominees to serve on the Agri-
cultural Council are urged to do so at
once so that the names may be pre-
sented to and ratified by the members
of the Farm Bureau at the annual
meeting.

LEST WE FORGET

In the midst of appears that come
from the distant parts of the world
some sections of which are now being
better fed on American charity than
ever they were fed by their own in
dustry--it is well to remember the
suffering, perhaps keener suffering,
which millions are undergoing in
those parts of the world for which
large collections are not being asked
nor taken. Take this for example:
"The recent continued spell Of cold
weather, with its northerly and east
erly winds, has greatly increased the
hardships and miseries endured by
the very poor in East London. Chill
dren are terribly underfed and under
clad. Their fathers seek work and
seek it in vain. Their mothers are
unable to secure sufficient food and
warmth for either their little ones or
themselves. The nights are cold and
wretched, too, as well as the days.
for many homes are destitute Of bed
ding"
Indeed the bulk of household goods
which the refugees of various Near
or Far Eastern parts are shown by
the photographs to be moving hither
and thither, would spell wealth for
tens Of thousands of families in our
own lands.
The distress Of far-distant lands,
however, is amenable to charity
perhaps that is why it is more popu-
lar than the distress nearer home. The
distress at home will make greater
drafts upon us than mere gifts grum-
blingly flung to appease the insist
ence Of some too jealous collector.
The distress Of London, and of Amer
lean cities, too, requires justice to al
leviate and remove. And it is easier
for us to be temporarily charitable
than it is for US to be continuously
Just. The shame spot Of the world is
not the sufferings Of distant peoples
who have never achieved settled and
productive civilization-the shame
spot Of the world is among ourselves,
among the, most highly civilized peo-
pie Of the world. And already heath
en- Turk and Hindoo are pointing at US
and saying, Physician, sheaal thy
self. Dearborn Independent.

Unfortunate
Ford Coupe

While driving toward Pennington
Saturday night, on the Libertyville
road, Dick Fuhrmeister and Mack
Matkin, in the formers Ford Coupe,
were run into by Mr.. Phillips, of
Fredericktown, who was headed to-
ward home. The Coupe was turned
over and considerably damaged,
though neither of the occupants were
injured. The Phillips car was also
considerably damaged.
The information that has reached
this office is that this was another
of those useless and senseless acci-
dent, caused by an attempt to "hog
the road" that the Fuhrmeiter car
was well on its own side of the road,
and that the condition Of the wrecked
cars plainly indicated that the fault
lay with the driver of the Phillips car.
This is the second bad accident the
Fuhrmeister Coupe has gone through
in the past few months, in neither of
which case was it any fault of the
Coupe, which was made the "goat" in
both instances.

Still Running
On Smoothly

1t is really difficult each week in
mentioning the Missing Word Con-
test to keen from mentioning over and
over again the pleasure of The Times
management in noting the interest
that is being taken in such contest.
Instead of showing any diminishment,
the interest seems to be constantly
on the increase. 1t is certainly we'll
worth the money the contest will cost
this paper to have the opportunity Of
noting the splendid interest exhibited
each week.
Some are inclined to be trifle slow
in handing, or in sending in their ans
wers, all of which have thus far been
accepted and counted. But, we are
now going to insist on complying alb
solutely with the time previously stat
ed for getting in answers, as this con-
test at best causes considerable extra
work, without being forced to go
through the turmoil Of belated re-
plies. Therefore, hereafter any re-
plies not in this office Tuesday eve
ming, or bearing the stamp Of some
date, will absolutely not be counted.
Please bear this in mind and be
prompt, as we do not want to hold the
time limit against anyone.
Last weeks word was "that," and
occurs in the Pennington Laundry ad-
vertisement, between the words IRE
mark" and "laundries." The word
this week begins with the letter "y"
and ends with "u". And please re-
member that it is important to get
your answers in early as it is to find
the missing word.

War Against
Tuberculocus

st. Francois county is expected to
join in observing School and Health
Week, which viii be featured in all
schools and churches of the state,
December to 10, in accordance with
a joint and concurrent resolution
adopted by the Legislature in 1921.
In a letter to Mr.. A. A. Speer, Of JEFF
ferson City, President Of the Missou-
ri tuberculosis Association, Governor
Hyde strongly indorses the movement
and urges general observance Of the
week.
The State Department Of Education
and the State Board of Health are CO..
operating with the Missouri Tubercu-
losis Association, Missouri Posts Of
the American Legion, and Missouri
Rotary Clubs and have drawn up a
program for the entire week, as fol-
lows:
Sunday, Dec. 3-Announcement Day,
announcing events of week in
churches.
Monday, Dec. 4-Dental Day; school
exercises and talks by local dent
lists on Importance of care of teeth.
Tuesday, Dec. 5-Babies Day; with
special reference to child welfare in
all its phases.
Wednesday, Dec. 6--Life Extension
Day; emphasizing the "Keep weli''
| idea.
Thursday, Dec. 7-Recreation Day;
| calling attention to the Importance
| of play and recreation to health.
Friday, Dec. 8-Tuberculosis Christ
mas Seal Day in Schools. Special
exercises, playets, exhibition Of
health posters and talks.
Saturday, Dec. 9-First Seal Selling
Day for children.
Sunday, Dec. 10-Tuberculosis Sun
day; sermons in all churches.
According to figures prepared by
Walter McNab Miller, executive sec
retary of the Missouri tuberculosis
Association, Missouri now ranks
among the leaders in the fight to con-
troll this terrible disease. In 1911
there fere 5113 deaths from tubercu-
losis in Missouri. In 1921 the deaths
dropped to 3010. This saving of more
than 1000 lives year is directly at
tributable to the work Of the Asso-
ciation and. kindred bodies. DIR. Miller
believes the tuberculosis death rate
can be further reduced in the next
few years so that Missouri may be
saved 5000 lives a year. Eventually
with proper attention tuberculosis
may be practically eliminated.
Death rate from tuberculosis in st.
Francois county was reduced from
2iS in 1911 to 16S in 1921, DR.. Miller
izsys.
The work of the Missouri Tubercu-
losis Association, which continues
throughout the year from headquar-
ters in the Pontias building, st. Louis,
is supported almost entirely from the
proceeds of tuberculosis Christmas
Seals, which are on sale for two
weeks before Christmas. The seals
are sold through county organizations
and the public schools. Every seal
sold means that much assistance to-
ward saving Missouri lives and
stamping out tuberculosis.

FARMINGToN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The second six-weeks period of the
school year closed on last Friday, the
oath of November. Pupils reports of
the second period will be sent to par
ents this week. AS usual those re-
ports are honest efforts on the part
of the teachers to indicate to parents
the school progress of their children
in school work. Every such report
should be carefully examined by both
father and mother of every child. If
the report indicates satisfactory or
better progress, parents have reason
for rejoicing. If the conditions indi-
Gated are not up to standard a con-
ference with the superintendent and
teacher of the child should be ar
ranged.
During the first twelve weeks of
school number of rooms have manl-
tanned a wonderful record of attend
ance. Miss Halter's room, eighth
grade, leads the list with an average
Of 1904 per cent for the twelve weeks.
The rooms taught by Mrs. Byington,
Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Downing and Miss
Akers each stand above 9S. per cent.
The rooms taught by the following
teachers-Mrs. Murrill, Miss Meyer,
Miss Dobbins, Miss Gale, Mrs. Rider,
Miss Graves and Miss Rickus all stand
above 81 per cent. The Douglass
school stands next with per cent OF
1855, and the high school stands at
the bottom Of the list with 1881 per
cent. The attendance for the entire
school for the twelve weeks is 97.67
per cent.
Some three teachers, several pu-
pills and a few parents have made in
quiry regarding the advisability Of
dismissing school on Friday following
Thanksgiving, thus allowing two
days vacation at that period instead
of one. The fact that some other
schools were following that arrange
ment and planning to teach on Wash
ington's birthday, was cited as a
plausible reason for the Pennington
schools doing likewise. The facts are
that the Pennington schools have
been dismissed three entire days the
past twelve weeks, one for the County
Educational Conference, two for the
Southeast Teachers Meeting, in addi-
tion to the Labor Day on which school
was not assembled at-the beginning Of
the school term. Thanksgiving Day
this week will bring the total up to
five days or full week. The Friday
following Thanksgiving Day seems a
surplus of time lost and the local man
agement has not deemed it wise to
recommend the extra holiday, nor to
arrange for teaching on Washing
tons Birthday to make up for the loss
of Friday. Washington's Birthday is
the only legal school holiday in all
the last FIVE months Of the school
year, and the only regular school day
that school, under normal conditions,
will likely be dismissed during that
time. One holiday in the last five
