Easter Greeting.
At this time of year,
With Easter SO near.
1t gives one the feeling of scorn,
To hear everywhere,
"Ohi what shall / wear
When 1 go out to church Easter morn"
Well have to confess
That the subject of dress,
Has grown so momentous in size,
If the soul grows at all,
1t only grows small,
Until it just shrivels and dies.

Of the death Of her infant child, Lu-
ellie Margaret, who was born only

.Dande1ions Are
on The
Lawn
Harbingers of Spring, De-
cieved by theWeather, Peep
Through the Ground-In-
dicates Mild Winter, Oldest
Inhabitants Say.

Dandelions, the real harbingers of
spring, are blooming in the western
section of the Cape. These yellow
blossoms are peeping through the
ground as abundantly as if it were
May instead Of November
Oldest inhabitants do not recall such
a phenomenon before. A few days
after the frost left the ground week
ago, Charles Armgardt, the council
man, noticed a number of the golden
blooms on his lawn. An investigation
revealed the fact that dandelions were
exhibiting signs of spring along the
walks on Independence street. They
are also to be found around the Nor
NAL School and on most every sodded
lot.
This unusual condition in plant life
is taken to indicate an unusually warm
winter. There has not been a time
this autumn when the grass was with
out its emerald hue. Pastures in the
vicinity of this city still furnish graz
ing for dairy herds, which is unusual
for this period of the year.

XMAS PRESENTS FOR
CAPE MERCHANTS
Ten Advertisements Published In
One Day Free Merchants
DaZed.

Cape Girardeau merchants are be-
ginning to receive their 1916 Christ
mas presents early, ten OF them an
uounced yesterday. The Evening Re
publican yesterday carried ten adver-
tiScments which were not ordered by
The merchants whose goods were offer
ed for sale.
One business man, whose concern Oc-
cupicd thirty inches of spaces, notified
The Tribune that the advertisement
was not only unauthorized, but it Of
fered for sale commodities which he
never had in his establishment. This
advertisement also appeared in Mon
days paper, yet the man whose sigma
ture the advertisement bore, was out
of the city. 81 would not object if
they had advertised only what | had
to SELL said the man, "but the adj
leaves the impression that | am offer
ing a new line of goods"
Two other business houses had thir-
ty inches of space each in The Re-
publican, but neither was solicited. az
suppose we are getting our Christmas
presents" said one OF them.
Another business man said The Re
publican offered to swap some adver-
tising space for flowers, but the bust
ness man said he had nothing for sale.
The advertisement appeared notwith-
standing.
Six other merchants, whose goods
were advertised in the afternoon pa
per, said they appreciated the favor,
inasmuch as it was free, but they were
unable to understand how a newspaper
could publish pages of free advertis-
ing.
The Tribune prints only advertise
ments that are paid for at regular
space rates. All merchants are charged
the same rate. The Republican yester-
day carried more than two pages of
free local advertising.

The first three named will base
their campaign chiefly on their expert
ence as policemen.
Armgardt, when chief several years
ago, made himself a name as an ag-
gressive, but efficient policeman, anC
on this record he thinks he can make
I a successful campaign. Policemen Tai
ley and Groce will stand on their re,
spective records they have made dur,
! ing their terms as policemen. The
other three candidates will merely

sheriff, and at that time candidate;
announced for the office of chief. The
salary paid the chief of police amounts
to 5000 per annum, and is one of the
best paying city positions, barring thu
city clerkship and the city collector

of applicants is large.
