was badly wrecked and was brought
to town the next day for repairs.
The union Thanksgiving service
held Wednesday evening IN the Uni
ted Brethren church was, considering
the circumstances. a very successful
service. II was an extremely bad
evening being rainy and muddy. To
this was added the handicap OF having
no lights in town that evening. How
ever, a fairly good sized audience
turned out and Kingwood people we're
most heartily welcomed by the United
Brethren congregation. Rev. Gun
bingham came all the way from
Clarksburg where he was assisting
with an evangelistc meeting 70 be al
the service. The sermon was preach
ed by Rev. Charles Brown, OF the Ban
list church. The text was Psalm,
34:1 Il will bless the Lord At al
times; his praise shall continually b.
in my mouth" and the subject wa,
Thanksgiving Resolutions" Mr.
Brown preached in his characteristic
cally original and happy vein and the
people went away prepared to enter
into the real spirit Of Thanksgiving
day. The scripture lesson was read
and the prayer offered BY the Rev. J
r. Wells Of the Methodist church, and
the Presidents proclamation was read
by the Rev. r. M. Patterson OF IN,
Presbyterian church. The congrega
ton was dismissed by the pastor o
the church, the Rev. W. r. Cunning

|. B. HOUCK CONFERS MISS DOROTHY BELL
With REED FRIDAY is EREGAININC HEALTH
Cape Girl Now in New York
State With MOther-Due
Home Next Month.

Miss Dorothy Bell, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Bell of this city, who
has been seriously i'll in a hospital in
Boston, Mass, has improved rapidly
during the past few weeks and is now
able to enjoy the eastern summer re-
sorts.
Miss Bell and her mother are now
spending a few weeks in New York
State, where the talented young wom-
an is recuperating. She is able to en-
joy motor trips and spends much of
her time out in the open.
While her health is not yet normal,
she is much improved and her phys
icians believe she will soon be imprOv-
ed sufficiently to return to her home
in this city. Mrs. Bell expects to re-
main in the East until Miss Dorothy
has fully recovered, when they will re-
turn to the Cape. This will not be un-
til next month.
Miss Bell, who has been studying
for u professional career in Boston
several years, suffered collapse sew
eral months ago, due to overstudy. For
several weeks her condition was pre-
carious, and she was removed to hos
pital in the suburbs of Boston, where
she could escape the excessive heat.
This proved decidedly beneficial and
she rapidly rcgained strength. AS soon
as she was able to travel, Mrs. Bel
escorted her daughter to summer re-
sort in New York, where they have a
host of friends.

AMERICAN BEER POPULAR
IN FAR OFF JAVA

Chicago, Sept. 13.-"War babies"
consist not alone of munitions, provi-
sions, automobiles, rubber, nickel and
the many other things that enable men
to kill each other. War babies also in
clude-perish the thought,-American
beer! No? Well, lend an ear to Leo
Hymans of the firm of Hyman Bros,
Ltd, of Samarang, Dutch East Indies,
who is in Chicago on business:
"Java," said Mr.. Hyman, "wants a
lot of your American products, and
there is one thing we want badly
American beer. Before the war we
used to import German beer in great
quantities, but since we cannot get it
any more we have taken to American
beer. And right now in Samarang all
you can hear is Give me an Amer
lean beer
"To be sure, we use all kinds of
American manufactured goods. Your
automobiles are excellent and popular,
but the most popular of all American
goods in Java is American beer"

WAR CHANGES FUNERAL
FASHIONS IN ENGLAND

London, Sept. 13.-War economy has
changed the fashion in English funer-
ais. They have become simpler. Pro-
tests are made against plumes, hears
es, expensive coffins and other orna-
ments of the conventional burial.
The late Major Walton of Brighton
ordered in his will that TO gloves, hat
bands, scarfs and claks, cor other dis
gusting paraphernalia of the under
taker," were to be worn at his funeral
and the horses were to be brown, bay,
grey or chestnut.
An army Colonel writing to the
newspapers says: "a hearse is an abb
omination of stamped tin and tinsel."
London undertakers interviewed
agreed that people are ordering less
expensive funerals, but predicted a re-
turn to the old order after the war.

Al Boshek, the daredevil aviator,
arrived in the Cape yesterday morn
ing, but the failure of his machine to
reach the city until late yesterday aft
ernoon, prevented him making a flight
during the afternoon as scheduled.
He will make two flights today. The
first trip will be made promptly at
noon and the second at 5 o'clock this
afternoon.
Boshek is known as one of the most
fearless aviators in the United States.
He performs more feats of daring than
any Sky-pilot that has ever visited the
Cape.
In each of his flights today, he an
nounced last night, he will perform his
famous loop-the-loop trick. He leaves
the ground, making one circle of the
park and then begins to ascend, climb
ing into the sky until he has reached
a dazzling height. He then kills his
engine. turns the nose of his machine
and permits the aeroplane to drop.
When it has gathered its best speed,
he flips it over and over until he has
fallen within 200 feet of the earth.
At this height, he starts the engine
and scars skyward again. This is his
best thrill producer, although he per-
forms many other feats which would
result in his death were his machine
to suddenly refuse to work.
Boshek and his machine were due to
reach the Cape yesterday morning, but
the aeroplane missed connections by a
few minutes. The aviator made a
flight in Detroit, Mich, one afternoon
this week, after which he started for
the Cape.
He reached St. Louis last night Just
nine minutes before the 9 o'clock Fris-
co train departed. The officials prom
ised him they would delay their de-
parture in order to get the machine
on board. When the hour for the
trains departure arrived, Boshek said,
the train pulled out. He was on board,
but his aeroplane was not. 1t reached
this city yesterday afternoon by ex-
nreSS

15-YEAR-OLD GIRL
CURES ATLANTA HORSES

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 13.-Miss Ruth
Corker, - years old, of Ornowood
Park, 4 suburb of Atlanta, is the only
girl veterinary surgeon in the world.
Treating mules for lOckjaw or sew
ing up huge cuts in horses legs is
child'S play for this girl, who learned
her profession through her father and
grandfather, both of whom are veter-
mary surgeons. She has large num-
Der of animal patients.
1T takes a barrel of chloroform to
put mule to Sleep said Miss Corker.
80 rope them down, inject cocaine
locally and operate"
Miss Corker is very pretty, with
dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She
wanted to do something different"
from other girls, she said.
This is a new and entirely unexplor-
ed field for women. There are women
physicians who specialize on human
patients, but so far as is known this
little girl is the only feminine "horse
doctor" in the world.
Miss Corker is very much in love
with her work. She has acted in the
capacity of helper to her father for so
long that there is nothing N the line
of animal ailments that sfe is afraid
to tackle.
Miss Corker expects to oper an ami
nal hospital in Atlanta As soon as her
father is able to dispense with her
services. She is very confident that
she can make success of it.

Cape Democrat to Arrange Date
for Big Rally Here in
October.

Louis B. Houck, president of the
Wilson-Gardner Democratic Club, will
depart for st. Louis this afternoon,
where he will meet Senator James A.
Reed tomorrow morning and decide on
a date for holding the big Democratic
rally in this city.
As Senator Reed will be one of the
principal speakers at the meeting here,
Mr.. Heuck will permit him to select
the date most convenient to his itin-
crary to speak here. Senator Reed is
the only Democrat of distinction who
has notified the Wilson-Gardner Club
that he will positively be present at
the Cape meeting.
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky
has been invited to be present and
make a speech, but he will not be able
to give his answer until he learns what
engagements the National Democratic
committee has made for him. IF the
date of the Cape Girardeau rally does
not conflict with the arrangements
made by the national committee, he
will be here.
Local Democrats are planning to
hold the meeting at the Fairgrounds,
if the weather will permit. If not, the
speeches will be made at the Court
house in this city.
There will be both an afternoon and
evening session. At the Fairgrounds
and old-fashion barbecue will be held
from 11:30 until all of the visitors ap-
petites have been satisfied. After the
barbecue is over, the speeches will be-
gin. An improvised rostrum will be
erected in front of the grandstand at
the Fairgrounds, where the orators
will deliver their speeches. In the
evening the speakers will talk from
the bandstand in the Courthouse ward,
unless the weather prevents, in which
event the meeting will be held inside
the Courthouse.
The promoters of the rally plan to
make it Southeast Missouri event,
and q mammoth crowd is expected to
be present.
