WAR DEPARTMENT

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

R. T. RYAN, a son of Thos. RYAN formerly of Butcher branch, is home again from Uncle Sam’s service.

A battle tank with its original crew of veterans was shown in Crystal City and Festus, Wednesday April 30^th. One will also be shown in DeSoto on May 4^th.

Tex BOYER, the Festus violinist, has returned from service with an honorable discharge. We are glad to have him back.

The following families are indeed happy upon receiving telegrams their sons and brothers had arrived safely in New York from France. Mr. and Mrs. COOPER, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. TOWNSEND and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene BUTLER.

Peter L. CLERC, Jr., the first Hillsboro soldier to return home, arrived Saturday April 25 after an absence of eight months. He is the picture of health, saved his money and is now ready for a job.

A telegram to the editor, April 28 announced the arrival of his son Lieut. Alison REPPY in Boston, on his way to Camp Davis. He had arrived in the Rainbow division on the Leviathan, in New York, April 26.

Corp. BUREN, whose return is thus chronicled, is a Jefferson County boy and son of former Sheriff H. P. BUREN of the county. Mrs. BUREN, the boy’s mother is also a native born and was formerly a Miss FREDERITZI and lived near Maxville at the time of her marriage to Mr. BUREN.

Adjt. General CLARK has mailed a notice to county clerks of the state calling for county and congressional district elections for the purpose of choosing soldier delegates to a national convention on the newly Armed American Legion to be held at St. Louis May 8, 9, and 10. The American Legion is said to be non-partisan and its object to be the welding together of comradeship formed in the late war.

Gov. GARDNER has signed bills providing for the creation of a commission to find work for returned soldiers and appropriated $25,000 for medals for Missouri soldiers, sailors and marines. The Employment Commission will consist of the adjutant general and the state labor and commissioner. The governor also approved a bill providing for the reorganization of the Missouri National Guard when it is mustered out of the Federal service.

Supt. R. B. WILSON has returned from Jefferson City where he went to take Jefferson County’s service flag from the county schools, to the Convention. The flag is not complete until all boys are reported, when the number of stars will be 1144, twelve at the present time being gold stars. Fifty service flags from as many counties were presented to the state at a convention of county school superintendents with appropriate exercises in the House of Representatives. These flags were prepared under a resolution offered by Representative JONES of Wayne County and adopted by the House. A service flag from every county of the state showing the number of men in the service from each county, will be placed in the historical museum of the State Capitol.

~SECKMAN ITEMS~

Easter passed over with a big ball in every corner. Kimmswick had a large crowd. The Mottert Orchestra played for the 22 club at House Springs and also reported a large crowd and a splendid time.

The frost has done great damage, froze all strawberries and fruit and didn’t do the wheat much good. We hope that Jack Frost won’t be around anymore this spring.

The Seckman School will close Friday, May 2, and will be followed Sunday by a short picnic. Hoping we will see our same teacher back next year, for his work proved very satisfactory.

Wm. F. H. DANNENBURG has built a new milk house. I suppose he is going in the butter business.

The Seckman Social Club, does not seem to meet very often any more. What’s the matter boys? Maybe it’s like the old time club years ago called Mid-Night Star.

We hear the new Antonia String Band will furnish the music for the Red Cross entertainment and ball, but to have the best time come to House Springs.

The rain was welcomed by all.

It sure is funny that some of the road bosses when asked by a man that pays poll tax for a job they, “ain’t hiring no one,” and at the same time they have boys working, that are only seventeen and eighteen years old and don’t pay any taxes. What do you people think of that?

The Club has arranged to give a dance at Beckman hall Sunday evening May 4^th, and assure everyone a good time.

Emil ROSACH, Walter BECKER, HARVEY KOHLER, Charlie KIEL, Milton BECKER and Clarence HOAG are the champion Seckman cave explorers. They took a trip down Jake MILLER’S Cave some 10,000 feet deep, according to what they say, and unfortunately the lantern went out and Charlie KIEL saw bears, wolves and snakes of monstrous sizes. Anyway he yelled so loud that all the beasts crept off into the cracks and crevasses. The others reported all they saw were bats and Walter said if he had been 10,000 feet further he could of tickled the feet of the “chicks”. Some narratives and hair raising tails or told of their wonderful adventures, anyway Charlie said he didn’t like bears or snakes and said he was afraid in the dark. We sure proved it too. As the boys say, he evidently had an awful experience with some of the bears or reptiles for he won’t risk going down again.

~NOTICE – JEFFERSON COUNTY HOME BUREAU~

Notice is hereby given to all members of the Jefferson County Home Bureau that the 1^st annual meeting of this organization will be held in Hillsboro Saturday, May 10^th 1919 at 2 p.m. for the purpose of electing officers and transacting other important business.

~FOUR RIDGE ITEMS~

As I have not seen anything in the Record for several weeks, that I would send a few items to inform you that we are still on the map and always on the go. Four Ridge folks are some hustlers like our Barnhart neighbors. We sure are having some dry weather the past few weeks but think the tide has changed as we are having plenty rain now days. Our school which was taught by Miss Hazel HEMLIN closed Saturday April 20^th.

William F. BOLLSTER has been talking about buying a Ford truck, but as Jack Frost came along William may be all out of the notion now.

Christ KENNER Jr., who has been working in St. Louis is coming out home to work on his farm this summer.

Frank BURGAN who was recently hurt while chopping a tree down is now able to be up and around again.

The two HILGERT brothers are now very busy grubbing and contracting for clearing ground. That’s right boys, there will be plenty more jobs to get if you do the right thing.

All the boys that left to go to the Big War from Four Ridge are all returned home again safe and sound.

Joe MODER of House Springs has bought a new Ford machine and he is getting good service out of it.

Raymond LEIGHT who left us last fall to go to the Big War is back home again. Everybody is glad to see him as Ray was always a good hearted and friendly fellow.

Judge MILLER is sure building a big barn on his farm on Heads Creek.

Henry SWEHLA is now working for STRAHER brothers saw mill which is at Frank BOLLEFER’s place.

Wm. STEINMEYER sold his farm recently to Theo. WURNSCH. We wish Theo. Good luck and the best of success he can have.

~SUIT FOR A RECEIVER FOR PEVELY FARM AND DAIRY COMPANY~

Action by Secretary, Discloses Family Dispute, Which Also Relates to Dairy.

A family dispute over the affairs of the Pevely Dairy Co, and the Pevely Farm and Cattle Co. was revealed in a suit filed in the Circuit Court today by William C. KERCKHOFF, secretary of the Pevely Farm and Cattle Co., again at the Pevely Farm and Cattle Co., its president D. C. KERCKHOFF. The Pevely Dairy Co., the entire capital of which is owned by D. C. KERCKHOFF, is also named as a defendant.

William C. KERCKHOFF, in his petition, asks that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the affairs of the Pevely Farm and Cattle Co., at Pevely, Mo., and also asks for an injunction restraining the defendants from interfering with his management of the farm and cattle company.

The petition sets forth that the 84 shares of stock of “the farm and cattle Company, the par value of which is $500 a share, are distributed as follows: D. C. KERCKHOFF, 32 shares; Viola KERCKHOFF, 2; Henrietta KERCKHOFF, 30, and William C. KERCKHOFF, 20. William C. KERCKHOFF alleges that D.C. and Viola KERCKHOFF have been using the farm to advance the interests of the dairy company to the detriment of the stock in the farm company.

The petition further alleges that D. C. KERCKHOFF, as head of the dairy company, made contracts with the farm and dairy company whereby the dairy company obtained farm products at grossly inadequate prices, much below the market value. Post-Dispatch.

The secretary, W. C. KERCKHOFF is the former judge of the County Court of this County and former manager of the dairy and farm. Judge KERCKHOFF superintended the construction of the plant which is said to be one of the best in the state. Under his management the farm produced an income for the stockholders and the products of the dairy was commended by milk inspectors of the state and government as the very highest class milk coming into the city of St. Louis. Since Judge KERCKHOFF was ousted it is said that the affairs of the company are being conducted at a loss.
