~WAR DEPARTMENT~BOYS OF THE OLIVE DRAB AND THE JACKIES IN BLUE~

Judge MILLER’s son Harry, certainly had some big welcome party.

George ROGERS of Antonia arrived home Sunday with his discharge from the army.

Francis POPE, Robert HEARD, Eugene STEINMANN and George RICHARDSON, all of the 138th arrived home last week. These boys were the first from the Hyfield district to enlist along with Harold RICHARDSON who was killed in France. The people of the community are certainly glad to see them back again.

Herman J. DICKHARD of Hillsboro Rt. left Monday to enter the Marine Hospital in St. Louis for treatment. His operation undergone while in France in the service, is giving him trouble, hence the summons of the official to appear for attention. We hope he will entirely recover his health and be able to operate the farm he, with his brother recently bought. Herman spent last week in Washington D. C. after a trip to his old post Fort McPherson Ga.

John E. RYAN of DeSoto, son of Thomas RYAN, visited Hillsboro Tuesday. Mr. RYAN got home April 23rd. He was a member of Company “E”, 110th Ammunition train of the 26th or Yankee Division. The 26th Infantry was one of the divisions that took part in almost every major offensive of the American army in France and gloriously sustained the reputation of the American soldier.

A house full of friends and neighbors greeted Lieut, Alison REPPY, Saturday night in the family home, in Hillsboro. The Lieutenant was invited to make some remarks upon the “Great Adventure,” which he did and reading the official report upon the work of the Rainbow Division of which he was a part. In the two years overseas, he never lost a day by illness or wounds and was in every major offensive which included Loraine, Champagne, Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne, Sedan and finally the Army of Occupation. Several wicked looking trophies were examined with interest. Music and refreshments and best of all, cordial visiting filled the evening, and the young man was greatly pleased to find so friendly a welcome awaiting him.

~JOSEPH FLYNN DIES IN SAN FRANCISCO~

Word was received in St. Louis yesterday of the death of San Francisco of Joseph FLYNN, 76 years old, a well-known newspaper man of St. Louis and Southeast Missouri. FLYNN’S death resulted from apoplexy. FLYNN during his career as a newspaper man edited papers at Ste. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau and DeSoto and for many years was connected with St. Louis paper. He went to California several years ago. FLYNN was the father of Joseph FLYNN and Henry FLYNN, both well known as local newspaper men. Joseph FLYNN now is connected with the Washington Times, while Henry, who went to San Francisco when his father was stricken a week ago, is connected with one of the local evening papers. Others surviving FLYNN are his children, John FLYNN, a lieutenant in the United States Navy; Edmond FLYNN, assistant United States Navy paymaster, stationed at Queenstown, Ireland; Paul FLYNN, who has just returned from overseas service in the United States Army; Marie and Lucy FLYNN, the latter, residing in Arizona. FLYNN was buried Wednesday. He was a native of Ireland and before entering the newspaper profession was a school teacher. His wife, who was a sister of B. A. ROY, 4376 Forest Park Boulevard, died in 1904. The above item appeared in the Globe Democrat last Friday.

J. Arthur CHRISTOPHER, former Vice President of CHRISTOPHER SIMPSON Iron Works is in the bankrupt class. Assets $100,433: Secured claims to Harriet G. CHRISTOPHER amount to $115,650. Liabilities $296,807.42. CHRISTOPHER will be remembered as the man who wanted to cut out the Maxville Bridge and build further down the river. He was and may yet be interested in the Meissner Telephone Company. CHRISTOPHER claimed exemption from involuntary bankruptcy because he was a farmer, but referee COLES held that farming was CHRISTOPHER’s pastime and not his occupation.

~REPORT OF GRAND JURY~

We the Grand Jury, duly empaneled, sworn and charged, beg leave to submit the following report. We have visited the County Farm and we believe Mr. Herman SIEMER, the present superintendent of the Co. Farm to be a good man for the place. We believe the inmates of the County are very well fed and kindly treated. These unfortunates deserve humane treatment, they deserve to be made comfortable as possible in their surroundings and to that end we recommend that screens be placed on doors and windows, that the roofs of the building be repaired in cases where they are worth repairing, that new roof be put on the double log building and in the barn. The barn is almost useless in its present condition, the feed that is put into it rots because of a leaky roof. We have examined all the loans made from the capital school funds of the county and townships. We believe the securities given in a number of these loans to be insufficient, and the loan now being made on certain property in Festus is in the judgment of this jury being made on sufficient security. This fund should be most carefully guarded, and we call the attention of this and future County Courts to the vital importance of this matter. After visiting the County jail we have no criticism to offer. We have to the best of our ability, investigated all matters of crime to which our attention has been called. We examined a large number of witnesses and returned a number of indictments. After visiting the various county offices we are unable to discover any irregularities. Respectfully submitted.

We are informed that Mrs. Jas J. WILSON of Los Angeles, California, in visiting relatives in Richwoods and will pay Hillsboro a visit before returning home. Mrs. WILSON is a widow of Jas. J. WILSON, who will be remembered as the editor of the Jefferson County Crystal Manor and who was a general favorite of the people of this county.

~Welcome Home~

“It is urged that all soldiers and sailors in Jefferson County attended the reunion at DeSoto on May 30th, coming in uniform. A Memorial Service for those who have passed on will be held at 11 o’clock, at which time prominent speakers will address the citizens. In the afternoon there will be a ball game, and in the evening a social time and dancing. All entertainment to the soldiers and sailors is free. The soldiers and sailors will be requested to register on coming to town, where they will be provided with tickets for their dinner. The picture show will be going on all the time, and at night, which we understand will be free to the soldiers and sailors. The matter is in the hands of the committee, who will give same all the attention possible.” R. B. JONES, Chairman of Entertainment Comm.

~BIG RECEPTION FOR SOLDIER~

Judge and Mrs. J. P. MILLER Entertain With All-Day Reception of Friends

Quite the largest social gathering, probably ever given in Hillsboro, took place at the home of J. P. MILLER and wife on Sunday May 18, the occasion being a “welcome home” for their son Harry, who returned home Wednesday with his honorable discharge from Uncle Sam’s big army. Guests began arriving in the morning, the dinner table seating thirty one relatives and the family. Immediately afternoon friends from High Ridge, Cedar Hill, House Springs, Jarvis and elsewhere besides the townspeople, formed a stream of visitors for all afternoon and evening. The young warrior bore his honors modestly and gratefully and stood his deluge of greetings and congratulations as heroically as the showers of shot and shell he underwent in the Meuse-Argonne, St. Mihiel days now happily in the past. Harry, was a stenographer in St. Louis is with a lucrative position. As an evidence of the appreciation in which he was held his employer it may be said, that he gave Harry fifty dollars upon his enlistment and while he was in France sent him twenty-five dollars for a Christmas present and sent him a ten box of candy every few months and kept him supplied with his daily Globe Democrat. He also holds Harry’s job open, but has secured for him the choice of two other positions at better pay and which he thinks offered the boy more chance of advancement. He was some boss, and must have faith in Harry. Refreshments were served to about 200 people and Harry was certainly made to feel that he was “Welcome at home.”

~BOND ISSUE UPHELD~

The three million dollar bond issue voted by St. Louis County has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court in a decision announced Monday. It is said that one million dollars of the bonds would be sold at once and work begun as soon as the money is available. Here is hoping that St. Louis County gets more for its money than we did in Jefferson County.

~AMERICAN NAVAL PLANES ALMOST CROSS OCEAN~

The American seaplanes NC-4 and NC-3 have reached the Azores. NC-1 was wrecked, but the crew was saved. Only for the fog all three planes would easily have made the trip. The NC-3 has been damaged and will not attempt the trip to Lisbon. The NC-4 will start soon and if she lands at Lisbon will have crossed the ocean. Harry HAWKER and his navigator GRIEVE, who undertook a non-stop flight in a Sep with plane are evidently lost. Unlike the seaplanes, HAWKER’S machine had no pontoons, and while the Americans safely rode thru a severe storm, HAWKER and his companion must have perished soon after the plane struck the water as it would not float very long. It was a fighting chance for renown and only that. Had HAWKER succeeded, he and his associate would have passed into history as immortals. The world cannot but admire the supreme daring of the man and sorrow over his untimely end. We trust that Commander REED finishes his Trans-Atlantic flight safely and places the world’s laurels on the American Navy as pioneers in overseas flying.

~MUSIC IS A NECESSITY~             

By Mrs. Harriett AYERS SEYMOUR.

 I know a mother with four children who made up her mind that home should be a very heaven. To her, music was God’s special gift to mothers and children, and so she began singing regularly with each of her babies. There are many lovely songs which a mother can learn, and the best of all are the folk songs of different countries.

-              Archibald T. DAVIDSON and T. W. SURETT have collected some excellent and familiar ones in an inexpensive book called “Fifty Rote Songs” published by the Boston Music company. These include English and other foreign folk songs.  A gay song for baby as he eats his breakfast and a quiet one as he lies down to go to sleep – these will sink in deep and form a wonderful foundation for the music of his life. With the older babies have a regular singing time. Five o’clock is a good hour. The children of whom I speak had a “singing party” every day at five, and sometimes the neighbors came in and sang with them. Their mother grew to be such a strong influence in the community that many persons came to her for advice and refreshment.

-              ~Singing Instead of Nagging~  Nagging is often simply lack of something better to do. A friend of this woman is speaking of her home life said. “She has substituted singing for nagging.

-              ”Small Songs for Small Singers” by Neidlinger (G. SCHIRMER, New York publisher; $2.50 illustrated; 75 cents without illustrations) is a good collection for children from four to six years old. These songs are very musical, simple, and rather full of jokes – “jokey” as one child said. Here are the words of a great favorite in this collection: Mister frog came out of the pond one day, and found himself in the rain; Said he: “I’ll get wet, and I may catch cold. So he jumped in the pond again.  Joy is the best tonic there is, and happiness creates health. The children’s song-hour will affect the atmosphere of the whole house.

-              Another good lot of songs is a collection of “Nature songs for children” by KNOWITON, published by Milton Bradley company, Springfield, Mass., for $1, and there are lovely collections by Eleanor SMITH and Jessie GAYNOR. Any mother who has had a regulation music lessons can play simple songs and can learn to guide her children into a singing life. Teach the children to listen to birds and to remember their calls.

-              There is a book of bird-calls by OLDS which is very good. Its title is “Twenty-five Bird Songs for Children” and it is published by G. SCHIRMER, New York, for $1.25. Sing, “Come and be washed.” Instead of saying, Here is a little tune spontaneously sung by a child of six: “Something ever, ever, sings.” The little child was right, but the trouble is, most of us do not listen. Ask your question in song, mother, and soon you will be answered by a cheerful singing reply. “Baby, where are you?” sung on a simple ascending scale will soon bring a musical reply from a hidden child of “I am hiding here.” Play softly sing gently and listen.

-              ~Teach to Follow Tune~ 

During the day take some familiar tune and swing the rhythm with the arms. Let the children step it, finding out where the slow and quick steps come. Afterward, have them draw lines on the blackboard to show this duration, thus: Let them find in which direction the tune goes, up or down, and make pictures of it either denoting the direction with a sweep of the hands or drawing a sweeping line on the blackboard. Slinging, swinging, stepping and making pitch and duration pictures, the children live in music as fish in water or birds in the air. If there are quarrels and tears, play something pretty and think the word Harmony. See how this calms the atmosphere. The mother I speak of controlled her children almost entirely through the power of constructive thoughts and music. They easily yielded to the word. Peace sang gently over and over. Mothers, if they only knew it, have the making of a new world of love is their keeping, and music is a torch to light them on the way. To a mother who does not know any music, I say, if you can, get someone to come for an hour every day to sing with your children at twilight. See to it that the words of the songs are constructive and beautiful and learn to sing a little yourself. Everyone can sing a little. Join the community chorus and if there isn’t one, start one.

-              “A singing army is a winning army.” A singing family is a spiritually growing family and music the link that brings heaven to earth.
