City Mail Carriers
for Farmington

Postmaster ]. B. Smith has received
reports from the examining commit
tee for city mail carriers for Farm
ington. Raymond Pepin and James
A. Womack were at the head of the
list, and they have been recommended
for the places There were sixteen ap-
pIicants for the two places, in which
ex-service men made a splendid show
ing, six of whom "went over the top"
for the highest grades.
This is another illustration of the
scarcity of places, when sixteen
strong, qualified. capable young men
will take a civil service examination
on the slim chance Of securing one of
two places as mail carrier. Postmas-
ter Smith expressed the sentiment of
the entire community when he said he
was "sorry there were not sixteen
jobs, so each applicant could have
place"
He is still unable to give the exact
date for starting free delivery here,
as there is yet considerable red tape
that must be worked through. He
states, however, that if it is not got
ten under way by Feb. 1st, it will GER
tainly not be later than Feb. 18th
when it will be started.

Large Grey
Wolf Killed

Geo Mcdaniel, who lives in Wein-
garten, Ste. Genevieve county, brought
to Pennington Tuesday the pelt of a
large grey wolf which he killed in the
vicinity of his home last week. 1t
was a beautiful pelt, and quite large,
indicating that it was from a full
grown wolf. w. A. Brookshire
bought it for $40. Mr.. Mcdaniel will
also receive 500 bounty for the head,
$40 from the county and $40 from the
State.
While Mr.. Mcdaniel was out hunt
ing, after light snowfall, he came
across the tracks of the animal,
which he followed for some distance
and finally came upon the beast,
which was apparently asleep under
cedar tree. Not being able to make
out the nature of the animal in it's
cuddled condition, he made sufficient
noise by shaffling his feet in the
snow to arouse it, when It's action be-
came brisk, and just as it was about
to bound away he fired charge from
his shotgun into it,. Though evident
| ly badly hurt, the. wolf went some
distance before succumbiHg to its
mortal wounds. 1t was splendid
specimen, and the pelt is large and
beautiful,

Tramp Printer
Drops In"

The Times office was favored Wed
nesday with visitation from an "old
tramp pyinter,n ,ag.lse introduced hn9
self. He said ne was really Iooking
for work, and had pretty thoroughly
such quest, with the same result
nothing doing"-except for an occa-
sional few hours work. He said that
all printers who have places were now
Sitting tight" as places were prac-
tically impossible to secure; that wag-
es were being very materially reduced,
which reductions were being invaria-
bly, accepted, the principal desire of
all workmen apparently being to hold
their job at any price. The name of
this journeyman is Michael Kelly,
aged II, rather dignified in appear
ance, and well educated. He has a
pleasing address and interesting man
ner, and could talk without ceasing of
the states through which ne had
passed on his present quest for work.
He said he would never have believed
that times could become so eight"
that tramp printer could not pick up
sufficient work to ward off hunger.
But he said his eyes were opened in
country south of here when, had it
not been for q Masonic pin he wears
beneath his coat, and to which he dem
onstrated he is entitled, he really be-
lieves he might have starved But he
has much of the "happy-go-lucky"
disposition of his kind, even when
they fiourished and blossomed in ev-
cry print shop along the way, and he
did not attempt to trace the cause for
the present stringency. He said many
thought it was due to politics; he
didn't know. He said most of the
"old tramps" had passed; only few
remain.

DOWell Valves
Preliminary

Henry Mcdowell, who was ar
raigned before Squire Cleveland in
Flat River last Saturday. charged
with the killing Of Thomas Frothing-
ham in the Y. M. c. A. building at
that place on the evening Of Jan. 18th.
waived preliminary hearing and his
bond was fixed at $4,000 for his ap-
pearance for trial at the next regular
term of circuit court, which convenes
here next month.
No trouble was had in giving the
required bond. In fact many ap-
peared desirous of signing such in
strument, and an amount several
times the size of the bond fixed could
easily have been pledged. This only
corroborates the report that both
slayer and Stayed had many warm
friends.

Big Business
Done Past Year

At the annual meeting of the Farm
Bureau Purchasing & Sales Associa-
tion held Wednesday, report of the
years work was given, two directors
elected, and other matters taken up.
The financial report showed that
SOC, ,787.75 worth of business was done
in 1921, with net profit of 81, ,444.39
and a paid up capital stock of $5,675.
This was a report of the home busi-
ness and the branch at Bismarck,
which has been in operation ten
months. Due to the small capital in
vested and rapid turning over, the
business showed a good profit, yet
products were handled on the average,
at less than l ga cents on the dollar.
The two outgoing directors were
Roy Johnson and VIM. London. Both
of these men were considered the type
of men that are wanted on the board
of an organization of this kind. How
ever, due to the fact that the stock
holders felt that Bismarck should have
representation on the board, William
Hinze, from Bismarck, was elected
to succeed William London, while Roy
johnson succeeded himself. Mr.. Lon
don stated that he was more than will
ing that a man from Bismarck be
elected in his place and that he would
take as MUCH interest in the Associa-
tion off of the board, as on it. Mr.
johnson also stated the same thing in
regard to himself. After the election,
the board of directors met and chose
their officers as follows: Maurice
Highley, president; F. L. Graham
vice-president; Roy johnson. secre.
| tarY-treasurer.

COMMUNITY BULLS DAM
MADE NEW RECORD

Tovo's Lima Gold, a 14-year-old
Missouri Jersey COW, owned by Long
view Farm, Lees Summit, recently
comnleted an excellent record for this
advanced age and now stands cham
mon Jersey cow of Missouri for cows
over 12 years of age. Starting. her
test at a years and 8 months OF age,
she produced, according to c. W. Iur-
ner of the Missouri College OF Agrl3
culture, 1902 pounds OF milk ana
6S2.76 pounds Of fat. 1t IS interest
ing to compare this record with tnat
of the famous Jersey COW, SOPHIE
10Th of Hood Farm. known. as the
champion long distance producer. Al
IL wears and 6 month of age, SOPHIE
produced 1O,3609 pounds of milk and
566.F6 pounds of fat, -.
The interesting feature OF TINS
piece of news TO the people of st.
Francois county, is that this COW IS
the dam of White Hearts Admirable
1s8146. which animal is one of the
three line bred Rawleigh bulls owned
bv the st. Francois County Jersey
Rreeders' Association. White Hearts
Admiral is being kept in the Bismarck
community. He will remain there
for more than year yet. -,
This bull on the sire's side, 1T VIII
be remembered is mighty well bred;
he being sired by Poets White Heart
114.615, a bull that was the sensation
of the show ring for three years. 20
cts Whiteheart first came out to the
big fairs in 1917, as a calf and was
never defeated in his class and later
was made junior champion at the. Ma
tional Dairy Show. the largest dairy
show in America. In 1918 he was
equally as successful as before. He
was brought out in 1919 as three
vear-old bull and was grand-champiorl
at nearly every exposition at whlcf
he was exhibited.
After the judging at the Nationa
Dairy Show, Whiteheart. was con
signed to the sale along with some O
the choicest animals of the breed. HI
was sold to the highest bidder at 80,
100. Poets Whiteheart was not onl!
show bull but he was a butter
bred" bull. His sire, Queens Raw
leigh, who has long list Of higl
record daughters, header by Raw
Ieigh's Eminent Buttercup, the GOV
that broke the worlds milk recor.
for the Jersey breed for one day witt
an reduction of 85.6 pounds (ten gal
lone) and not being content with this
she went ahead and established @ tn
worlds record for the breed for on
weeks production, two weeks produc
tion and two months production, max
ing in all four worlds records. Sh
7.scently finished her year with to
tai of $4,000 pounds of milk and 81
pounds of butter. -,
With such records as these on tn
DAMS and on the sire's side, the pros
IF fhe outstanding bulls of the bree
from the production standnoint,, is ex
tremely favorable. One such bull i
a community will have an incalcula
bic value. Furthermore, this bull WI
not de ost to the county as he will g
to two other communities later.

Because of it's magnitude it is of
vital interest to all the citizens of
Pennington who have civic interests.
1t has cast of two hundred of the
townspeople, ranging from the ages of
four to forty.
The production itself is as versatile
as the people of the cast.
Mrs. Harry Dobbins with her eff
cient committees has selected cast
which under professional direction,
special scenery and lighting effects, is
bound to delight the most exacting.
From the prologue opening on the
field of human daisies to the most su-
perb finale there is something doing
every minute. Mirth and pathos go
hand in hand and the audience will be
more than delighted with each sue
cessive scene until the final curtain
closes on the electrical see sans with
their burden of beautiful girls and
handsome young gentlemen.
With such talent as Virginia Mar
bury, Virginia Morris, Louise Lang

ented, "Cheer Up" promises to be a
marvellous success. Due to the i'm
mense enthusiasm that is growing and
radiating from rehearals the cast will
