Prospects for An
Interesting Game

An aggregation of ball players
from this vicinity has been gotten to-
gethcr for a game next Sunday after
noon with the Crystal. City team,
which ranks as the champion team Of
this part of Missouri for the present
season. The local gathering is known
as Tim McCabe's All Stars, and that
is indeed what many of them are.
This promises to be one of the best
games that has been played in st.
Francois county during the entire sea-
son, and if Crystal City wins then that
team will be entitled to her well
earned laurels of being the finest ag-
gregation of ball players that have
been assembled in Southeast Missou-
ri this season. But they will have to
ego some" if they win. There will
doubtless be great gathering of
ball fans to witness this contest
Play will begin promptly at 2:30 p.

Marvin College VS..
American Legion

What promises to be most inter-
esting game Of foot ball is scheduled
to be played this afternoon at $3.50, on
the High School field in this city.
The contestants will be the Marvin
College team of Fredericktown and
the American Legion Of the Walter
LePere Post 416 of this city. The
visitors will come with the reputation
of being strong team, and it is
known that they have an excellent
coach, and the indications are that
they will give good account of
themselves.
The American Legion squad played
their first game of the season Satur-
day afternoon at Flat River, against
an aggregation of old time stars of
that place. 1t proved to be well
matched game, and neither team
succeeded in scoring. The American
Legion team of Pennington is COM
posed of the following players, all of
whom have participated in many hot
ly contested games: Philip Cole, Lion
el Tetley, John Davis, Wilbur Akers,
Pete Seller, Otis Whereby, Eugene
Mitchell. Lowell Turley, Myers May
berry, Ellis Simms. Roy Dobbins,
Dodson Rideeway, Elliott Klein and
Eddie Wichmarin.

Work for
Show Progressing

Committees in charge of the Home
Economics Exhibits for the Live
Stock and Product Show, to be held
Oct. 20 and 21, are progressing nicely
in their arrangements to make the
women's work great success.
Practically every community in the
county has been reached and the
women have been told about the fair
and given an idea of the products
which will be wanted.
In Pennington, the town has been
divided into the four wards, the same
as last year, each ward having the
same rating as a country community.
No prizes will be given, but first and
second ribbons will be awarded. Blue
ribbons will count twice as much as
the red in counting points for the
community. Each individual is urged
| to bring in her things for the COM
munity standing depends upon what
each person does.
The silver loving cup which was
won by the Oak Grove community last
year, will be given to the community
which wins the most points. Since
points are counted only on first and
second placings, it can be seen that it
is quality as well as quantity that
counts.
Home Economics work this year
will be on display in the Masonic
Temple. The exhibits must be in
place by $3.50 a. m., Friday, October
20, in order that they may be judged
and arranged early in the day.
Any questions may be referred to

Bureau office, phone No. 445.

Why Permit
Such a Thing i?

The writer talked with a gentle
man the past week who had just ar
rived from st. Louis, and he was
somewhat wrought up over the man.
ner inwhich he had arrived in this
city. He had purchased through
ticket FROM naisssto Farming
ton, after having made inquiries II
such ticket would entitle him to con-
tinuous passage to his destination,
which he was assured it would. He
even inquired at the information bu-
reau, if the electric car would meet
him at Flat River, and was there as
sured that it would.
When he reached Flat River there
was no electric car to meet him, nor
did any arrive. He there found out
that the electric car was no longer
meeting that train. He was there
fore compelled to take a bus to this
city, leaving most of his baggage be-
hind. He still had in his pocket the
Pennington end of his railroad ticket,
which was supposed to guarantee him
passage from Flat River to this city.
Did he not have right to be sore,
and to be talking about suing for
damages? 1t seems absolutely mex
plainable why the ticket sellers in
Union Station, st. Louis, as well as
the information department at the
same place should not have informa-
tion about the discontinuance of the
old schedule on the electric line into
Pennington. The fact that the afore-
said gentleman was sold a ticket to
this city, when there was no trains by
which he could make a continuous
trip to his destination, would appar-
emily entitle him to damages.

Esther Young
Man Killed

Sam Larkins, of Esther, was killed
Monday morning at 1O:45, while at
work on Southern railway train.
He was riding on the front of the en-
gine and jumped off to throw a
switch, and it is supposed that his foot
slipped and he fell under the engine.
His body was badly mangled and
death was evidently instantaneous.
He was head brakeman and had been
switching only about eleven days. The
young man was 81 years of age and
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. James Lar
hins, of Esther. We extend sympathy
to the bereaved family.

Tag Day Went
Over the Top

The first appeal to the general pub
lie by the Orphanage at Pennington
for financial assistance was very, very
generously met. The liberal and un-
selfish spirit manifested by almost ev-
eryone who was solicited to buy tag
indicates that the greeat work of
this institution is highly valued and
appreciated. As stated in the county
realization of the fact that this chari-
table institution was great asset.
not from a viewpoint Of dollars and
cents, but is engaged in rearing, ed
ucating and making Christian men
and women Of tomorrow's citizens.
The ladies of the Auxiliary Of the
Presbyterian church Of Pennington,
under whose direction and manage
ment the drive was put on, as well as
the management of the Orphanage,
take this opportunity OF expressing
their deep appreciation to all who so
literally gave of their means, to the
newspapers who gave of their space
and printing so unstintedly done, the
moving picture shows who gratui-
tously put notices on the screens, those
who made the artistic window posters,
especially the Gem Studio at Farming
ton, the individual workers on the
streets and to each and every one
who in any way contributed to the
success of the drive. An old saying
"that it takes money to make money"
will not hold good when it comes to
soliciting funds for so charitable an
object as this, for the total cash ex-
pense Of this wonderful work totaled
only about ,$4.
The goal set for this drive was
fixed at $2500, and from the following
report by Mrs. Frank Weber, County
Chairman of the drive, it will be seen
that it was almost reached. There
are several small localities yet to hear
from, which, no doubt, will increase
the total amount to the $500.
Following are the localities with
the names of the local chairman and
the amounts collected:

Phony Mail
Service Here

For some time past this has been
practically without any mail service.
Especially since the first of the pres
ent month, when the schedule Of the
electric railway was changed, appar-
emily so as to accommodate no one,
has the mail service (?) been abom-
Unable indeed. Before that time the
mail which was supposed to reach
here about 2 o'clock in the morning,
could be expected with a reasonable
degree of certainty sometime before
noon. Now most patrons of the post
office consider themselves fortunate
if they get their mail any time dur
ing the entire day for which it is sup
posed to have morning schedule.
The postal department. recently au-
thorized Postmaster Smith to call for
bids for carrying the morning mail
from Bismarck to this city, which
would perhaps materially improve
the present condition. But such bids
are perhaps not yet in. Then there
will be another delay caused by the
forwarding of the bids and awarding
of the contract. Why could not Post
master Smith have been authorized
to have placed temporary contract
for the carrying of such mail until
permanent contract could have beer
arranged for such work? Were
those in charge of such matters fear
full that they would be Strong
armed" for a few extra dollars by
such an arrangement, and therefore
preferred that the mail to Pennington
would be thus delayed and "shot to
pieces? 1t seems that such is the
case, Notwithstanding the fact that
this city has "free delivery" of mail
with nothing to deliver at any spec
ial time.
1t seems that the mail service, al
least in Pennington, is moving rap
idly backward-even more rapidly
than any other department of gov.
ernment that concerns this commune
ity. A far better way to handle the
mail to this point, than that now il
vogue, would be by express.

Crops, Livestock, Home Economics
and Poultry, at Pennington, October

ducts. A wonderful opportunity is
provided breeders Of purebred live
stock to advertise their animals,
Many instances of improvements in
field crops, poultry and livestock can
he traced to the show held last year.
Yet the good derived from advertis-
ing their products cannot be meas
,ured in one years time.
Also, it is the purpose of the or
ganizations working to make the
Show a success, to provide plenty Of
amusements for the large crowd ex-
pected. This amusement will consist
Of band concerts both days and Fri
day night, masked carnival Friday

automobile parade and parade of
livestock. The large poultry and ag-
ricultural exhibits will be on display
