COUNTY NOTES
iEEHEH.hFEElS.h.HEEHlsy
By C.. NJ. McWilliams.

The Hessian fly and the Wheat
Straw worm nave done a great deal
more damage to wheat this season
than they have for several years. The
work of the fly is so well known that
1t needs very little description. The
wheat is on the ground because it was
damaged and could not tiller properly
and contains many immature stalks.
The grain at harvest time contains
many white heads and also many
stalks that go down because of the in
jury caused by the fly at or near the
surface of the ground
The Wheat Straw worm or Joint
worm as it is sometimes called, is
caused by black fly, larger than the
Hessian fly, which lays it's eggs in the
growing wheat in the spring. The
stalk bends over, usually at the third,
four or fifth Joint. There is invaria-
bly, part of the straw thickened at or
below the joint where it falls over. TX
animation will show this space to be
filled with pale yellow worms. At pres
ent they are a little less than | inch
in length but have not yet fully de-
velOped. l have found as many as
twelve in the space between two joints
in single stalk The worm lives over
the winter in the stubble and develop
into the adult fly. 1t is also the cause
of pieces of broken straw in the grain
at threshing time The best remedy
for beth pests is burning the stubble
on infected fields and moderately late
sowing.
A number Of farmers are now try
ing Soudan grass for the first time.
| have a sample in my office that was
seeded in April and is more than five
feet tall. 1t grew near Neely's Land
ing and the owner expects to get sew
eral cuttings from the patch this sea-
son. He only put out one-half an acre.
SOudan grass is new to Cape County
and these first trials will be watched
with interest. No doubt much larger
acreage will be seeded next year if it
is as successful as it promises at pres
ent
Those who put soy beans with their
corn this spring are we'll pleased with
present prospects. Mr.. w. d. Hender-
son, who lives near Jackson, has thirty
acres of corn and soy beans. He tried
it last year and found that the soy
beans fields, after the corn was cut,
was an excellent hog pasture and that
the corn and soy beans put up together
made excellent silage. In addition the
soy beans, being legumes, aid ma
terially in keeping up the nitrogen
content of the soil.

MOVIES Will TAKE
THECLARK WEDDING
Pictures Will be for Family's
EdificatiOn Only, Says the
Speaker.

st. Louis, June 22-Speaker Champ
Clark Of Bowling Green, Mo-, has un-
der consideration plan by which he
will perpetuate the wedding of his
daughter, Genevieve, for the future
Clark generations to see. He is plan
mig to have motion pictures of the
wedding taken, but not for exhibition
purposes. He will purchase the film
and lay it away in his library, and
whenever he wants to see the Clark
Thomson wedding over again, he will
merely haul out the film and run it
off on a screen in his home.
Speaker Clark has "set his foot
down." as his daughter expressed It,
on having any moving picture of the
wedding taken for exhibition purposes.
He said he didn't propose to have the
wedding made a circus of" by permit
ting pictures to be shown in theaters
after it was over But he has express
ed a desire-at least Miss Genevieve
has-to have a film of the wedding
for family use.
The Clark-Thomson wedding will
take place at Honey 'Shuck," Bowling
Green, on June 80, and the Speak,.
has invited all MissOurians to attend.
In addition, invitations have been ac-
cepted by the majority of the MEM
bers of Congress and many prominent
men and women from the East viii
attend. The wedding will be held in an
open space adjoining the lawn of the
CLARK home and the wedding feast
will be spread on the lawn. Arrange
ments are being made to serve at least
10000 people, who are expected 20 at
tend.
Miss Genevieve Clark has been
prominently active in national life at
Washington for several years. Her
fiance is James NJ. Thomson, publish
er and owner of the New Orleans, I Il,
Item, whom she met during the Balti-
more Democratic National Convention,
when Speaker Clark was a candidate
for presidential nomination.
In speaking of her desire for a NOV
ing picture film of her wedding, Miss
Clark recalled that among her friends
who lad such a souvenir Of her we'd
ding was the daughter of Thomas A.
Edison. Miss Clark, however, eX-
planned that she was not as DESTROYS
of having the wedding itself FILMED"
as she was of getting the guests ard
the wedding party in the film.

ANOTHER FLOOD IS
COMING DOWN RIVER
Mississippi Will Rise Another
Foot by Tomorrow, is the
Prediction.

Another flood is drifting down the
Mississippi from st. Louis, and it will
swell the gauge here two feet. The
tomorrow when twill stand at slightly
above 81 feet during the past twenty
four hours. Its crest will be reached
tomorrow when it will sand at slightly
over 90 feet, unless new rains come.
The river reached flood stage at st.
Louis yesterday, and as the Missouri
is high, the river will continue rising
today at st. Louis.
The Mississippi has been at flood
tied south of Cape Girardeau for sew
eral weeks, and there is considerable
territory under water at the present
time. The flooded lands, however, are
not extensively cultivated, and there
fore the damage to crops due to the
high water has not been large.
st. Louis, June 22-The Mississippi
River at st. Louis passed the flooi
stage during the night. The gauge
showed at Z o'clock this morning a
stage of 3O.4 feet. Thirty feet is flood
stage. The rise in the last "a hours
was 1t feet.
The rapid rise will continue until
tomorrow, when stage of 31.2 will be
reached, the Weather Bureau says.
From tomorrow to Friday the rise
will be slow. 1t is expected that the
crest of the present rise will be 31.5.
This will be 2. higher than the crest
of June 4.
The rapid rise has been due to the
Sunday night storm in the section
north of st. Louis, and down to the
Kansas City flood, which is Just be-
ginning to reach here. The crest of
the Kansas City flood will reach Boon
vile Wednesday and Herman Thurs
day, giving stages somewhat under
the crest reached the first week in
June.
The Mississippi, from Hannibal to
Grafton, will rise very slightly for
two days, and will not reach as high
a level as during the first week From
the mouth of the Missouri to Chester
it will continue to rise slowly until
the latter part of the week, and the
crest will be somewhat above that of
June 4.

.CK ADKINS TO
EXPOSE PLOT TO
Hold Up A BANK
Says Rube and Robert Gil
bert Asked to Help Rob
GraVOis Institution.
GOES TO ST. LOUIS TO
TELL POLICE STORY
In Dictated Statement He Says
He Planned to Tip Off Police
to Scheme.

Jack Adkins, a former policeman in
this city, departed for St. Louis early
tins morning, accompanied by Prose
cutting Attorney Henry Caruthers, to
reveal the story of how the Gravois
Bank in st. Louis County was robbed.
Rube and Robert Gilbert, brothers,
and close friends of Adkins, asked him
to take part IN the robbery, and ac-
cording to a statement dictated by Ad-
kins to The Tribune, he accepted the
4 Vitation, but instead of participating
in the robbery, Adkins planned to ex-
pose the plot to the police.
The two men saw Adkins interview
ing policeman, he says, became sus-
picious of him and called the deal off.
They informed him they had changed
their plans, that the robbery would be
attempted at later date and that he
would be notified. Adkins says he was
not informed of the movements of the
two brothers after the postponement
of the holdup.
Prosecuting Attorney Caruthers de-
clined to make a statement before his
departure.
The Gilbert brothers are well known
in Cape Girardeau. Adkins says he
knows the habitat of the two brothers
and # the suspects held in st. Louis
are not the men who planned the rob-
berry with him, he will locate the Gil
bert boys.
Adkins stated that he and the Gil
bert brothers inspected the Gravois
Bank during the day of the night set
for the robbery. They made trip to
the bank to famaiarize them
selves in order to facilitate their en-
trance.
Adkins is a former cowboy and is
Familiarity known as Montana Jack"
His statement of the plans to hold
up the Gravois Bank, follows:
"Rube Gilbert came to my house
and boarded month, and while he
was staying with me | got informa-
ton through two letters he received,
as to the whereabouts of his brother,
Bob, who was then in Oklahoma pass
ing forged checks. Bob came through
here, and he paid my expenses to st.
Louis and l went with him and RUDE.
"He pretended we were going to rob

the banker in a craps game at Gravois
and they waited to use me as a guard.
81 went with the intention of get
ting US all caught right in the act,
but they got suspicious of me, l think,
and they had me come back home and
they went over into Illinois.
81 went up there a week ago last
Thursday and came back on Satur-
day. They told me that We would do
the robbery on the next Saturday, but
on Tuesday they entered the bank and
robbed it without notifying me.
81 knew they were not going to rob
any game, and as soon as | got to St.
Louis | went to Gravois to look over
the ground and then was given to I'M
derstand that it was bank they were
going to rob.
81 never turned them in to the po-
lice, but l think they saw me when
| was talking to an officer about To-
eating my grandson, who had been
kidnapped and they were afraid that
intended to betray their plans.
"Bob Gilbert served a term in the
Little Rock Penitentiary in Arkansas,
and was known in Arkansas by the
name of Forester.
Il have known both the boys for II
years, and l saw a number of the
blank cashiers checks that Bob used
to get money with.
Their plan was to go to st. Paul,
Mimi, as soon as they had completed
their robbery at Gravois. Bob said
that he had two pals waiting for him
to join them there.
when we went to st. Louis, they
said that it wouldn't do for US all to
go together, so RUDE and Bob went in
the morning, and l went up on the
train that afternoon and they met me.
''There is no doubt in my mind that
they are the men who robbed the
Gravois Bank, because l know they
went to St. Louis with that intention,
and that before l came back to the
Cape it was understood that we would
rob the place on the following Satur-
day. The descriptions of the robbers
given by the men who were robbed
i nthe bank tally closely with the Gill
bert boys, and | am sure they are
the guilty parties"

w. MatheWson Secretary.

The State Athletic Commission was
finally reorganized, yesterday At the
regular meeting at Al Park Row, John
Franey, of Albany, and Frank Dwyer,
of Geneva, were ushered into Office.
The first thing that the commission
did was tc elect Fred A. Wenck chair
man. When chosen the presiding Off
Ger, Wenck, announced that he had
been instructed by William Orr, Gov
ernor Whitman's secretary, to suggest
to the commission that they appoint

President of the Bronx.
II has been intimated all along that
Wenck favored the reelection of
Charles J. Harvey as secretary As the
newly appointed secretary was not
present, the chairman suggested that
Harvey continue in Office until Decem-

vey, stating that it was his efficiency
and keen insight that had made boxing

After the chairman and secretary
had been appointed, Wenck informed
the other commissioners that an office
had been installed at Albany which
would be the headquarters of the COM

EAST AND WEST TO
CLASH IN FOOTBALL

The football team of Hamilton Insti-
tute, rated as the best of the local
high and prep school elevens, will meet
the team of East Aurora High School.
of East Aurora, ILL.,, on the gridiron at
Washington Park, the home of the
Brooklyn Federal League team. on Sat-
urday afternoon. Final arrangements
for the game were made yesterday, and
the East Aurora boys will arrive IN
this city next Thursday.
Civic pride runs high in the Illinois
city, for the board of trade and liberal
hearted merchants subscribed 81 800 20
help defray expenses. Il is more than
likely that one of the largest crowds
that have seen l. scholastic football
game this season will turn out 70

East Aurora has challenged the best
of the Eastern teams with clocklike
regularity. but no heed has been given.
But DR.. Shaw. principal of Hamilton
Institute, is firm in the belief that his
boys can wallop any eleven that ever
drew on cleats. He lost little time IN
binding the bargain. He may have
contracted for bigger job than he
can fill, for the Westerners have had
a wonderful season this year and are

NAVY PLEASED WITH
GAME AT NEW YORK
No Change of Venue Likely,
However, Unless Il Is Asked.
IBy Telesraph 10 The Tribune.

Annapolis, Nov. 29-Though the
naval people are delighted with all the
incidents of the service game at the
Polo Grounds last Saturday, next years
contest will be played in Philadelphia,
unless representatives of the Navy sug-
gest that it be played in New York reg
ularly.
Under an agreement between the two
academies, which began with the game
of 1914, the game next year and in
1918 will be played in Philadelphia and
that of 1917 in New York. The Army
people are not likely to suggest that
the agreement be changed in favor of
New York. No definite step to that end
has been taken. but the Navy people
are delighted with all the arrangements
in New York.
Granting the mi shipmen permission
to remain in New York overnight OF
the day of the game has solved the
chief difficulty, from the Navy stand
point, and the midshipmen themselves
would like the game to 90 back to New
York next year.

Syracuse Eleven
Has Final Practice

Portland, Ore, Nov. 29.-The SYRIA
cuse University football eleven, which
on Wednesday will meet the Oregon
Aggies, had its final work here to-day
"a scrimmage practice. O'Neill said
that his players are in excellent con-
dition.
Official weights. as announced to-day,
place Syracuse at 1873 pounds to the
man and the Aggies at 1T pounds.
Syracuse's advantage lies in the line,
where Schlachter, 242 pounds, and
White, 272 pounds, both guards, are a
tower Of strength. The Aggie line aver
age is III pounds, the same as the back
field, which outweighs Syracuse's
plunging quartet several pounds to the
man.
Syracuse is counting on breaking Up
the Aggies' peculiar side snap from cen
tre play, while the Aggies have framed
their defence to meet Whites work in
forward passing and Halfback Wilkin-
sons end running game.
