COMMON PLEAS HAS
HEAVY FEB. DOCKET
Filing Ended Yesterday With
Collection Suit-FriscO
Is Sued.

The docket for the February term
of the Common Pleas Court was clos
ed last night, with the entire number
of cases that will be up before the
court totalling about 70. The work of
the court will be heavy despite the
fact that the court is without judge
and that the uncertainty of the next
incumbent is a consideration that
moves attorneys to withhold their pc
titions from the court.
Since the first of the year more
than two score suit shave been filed in
the court. The last suit that was filed
yesterday afternoon was brought by
the Klo5termann Veneer Co., against
the Standard Advertising Co, J. F.
Fuerth and Frank Fuerth, members of
the firm, seeking to collect sS3.S7 on a
note executed last November. The
suit was filed by Judge Edward D.
Hays
hAuO" VI ~. W.
-Byous who was killed October l. last,
by a Frisco train while walking on the
Gulf track at the C. G. & N. crossing,
yesterday filed a suit for $4,000 dam
ages against the railroad. In her pc
ton which was filed by Attorney Har-
ry E. Alexander, she declares that the
trainmen did not use the proper pre-
caution to warn her husband of the
approaching train.
The part of the track on which he
was walking at the time he was hit,
had been used for long time as a
path by pedestrians, she asserts and
for that reason, the petition contends
that the trainmen should have used
extraordinary care while passing over
that part of the track.
Mrs. Byous, since the death of her
husband, has been reduced to straight
ened circumstances, according to her
attorney, and on account of the lack
of the support afforded by her husband
she has been in want several times.

SOY BEANS DO WELL
In CAPE COUNTY
Farm Adviser Says Dry Weather
Plant Thrives in Wet
Seasons.
BY C N. McWilliams.


The growing Of soy beans is COM
8 parativcly recent custom in this coun-
4 ty but enc that is finding good deal
2 of favor with those who have tried it
The soy bean is plant that is well
adapted to dry seasons but last year
3 Notwithstanding the heavy rainfall, it
did well.
This plant is 2 lcgume and belongs
: 10 the general class of plants repre-
s scented by clover, alfalfa, vetch, and
8 ,owpeas, however, it resembles the last
named more than the others. In parts
Z # northern and central Missouri soy
ncans have to large extent supplant-
s I'd cowpeas, in fact, the soy bean is
s more popular and grown more than
8 he cowpeas ever was.
Soy beans have a rather heavy,
,0arsc stem and grow erect with prac-
3 ically 10 vines they are rather bushy
s md produce large number of seed
Bearing pods. They may be planted
somewhat earlier than cowpeas and on
$ account of their erect habit Of growth
ire excellent for planting in corn. Ere
uently, both corn and beans are
& logged off, or The corn may be har-
g -ested and the pasture utilized after
s ward. The plant contains a high per
s ent CT protein and is relished by all
lasses of livestock. The beans them
;p'ves are valuable and for purposes
# estimating their value in ration
8 ~ be compared with oilmeal because
hey are somewhat similar.
Frequently soy beans are cut for
S lay but to be most satisfactory for
{ his purpose they should be allowed to
B ret full ripe. When ripe the plants
nave a tendency to drop their leaves
nd the pods sometimes burst open
md permit the seeds to fall out. Be-
ause of the coarse stems soy D..
lay is not as fine as cowpea hay but
ne extra amount of grain in the
ormer, hay more than makes up for
ne difference in quality. The "Me-
ium Yellow" and the "Jet" have been
b. varieties most used here. There
re a number of other varieties but
hose named have been very satisfac-
DRY
Mr.. w. d. Henderson has probably
,rown more soy beans than any man
the county and has tried them in
arious ways. Last year, 1914, he put
everal acres Of corn and soy beans in
is silo and it made an excellent feed,
Though the corn was of poor quality
nd the best of the ears had been re-
loved. This season he planted thirty
ores of corn and soy beans. Some
{ it was put in the silo; from some
: he corn was cut off and the beans
assured, and the remainder was pas
ured after the corn was harvested
i6n the stalk. Mr.. Henderson was
S avorably impressed with the results
btaincd and believes that in addition
. making good feed the beans add to
le fertility, of the soil, especially when
assured off or fed on the land, fur
hermore the amount of feed pro-
aced on given acre is greatly in
reased.
Mr. George Seibert grew soy beans
| eight acres of corn last year and
assured part of the corn an all OF

pleased with the feed and the hogs
made exceptionally good gains. A
number of others have grown soy
beans both alone and in corn with good
results, however, the latter method
seems to be the one most generally
followed. Some good yields of beans
have been made by drilling the beans
in rows just wide enough to permit
cultivation.
The strong points in favor of soy
beans are their soil building properties,
their high feeding value, and the fact
that they may be grown to advantage
with corn.

One of the secrets Of getting a good
stand of red clover is to sow the seed
Early, not later than February. Sow
while it is still freezing and thawing
and the seeds will work down into the
ground where they will be safe from
sudden changes 1t is dry weather
that kills out the most of late sown
seed. Seeds well covered will stand
drcuth. If you can't SOW early, sow
The seed and then harrow it in. Scat
ter stable manure on any poor spots in
the field. If possible use manure from
tails where clover hay is fed and this
will help seed the land.

Wood ashes are a valuable fertilizer
and should not be wasted. Scatter
them around the fruit trees and do
not set them aside or pile them up for
the rains to leach all the potash out of
them. Coal ashes, on the other hand,

are not worth hauling. Sawdust, I'M

UNDERGROUND WIRELESS
Human Voice Can Be Transmitted Through Earth Without Use of Any Connecting Agency, Scientist Says.

San Francisco, July 17.-Dr. H Barringer Cox announced here today that he had perfected a subterranean telephone and that incidentally he had discovered a new law of physics that electrical energy can be trans mitted over a single conductor.
 For the last five months Dr. Cox has been working at Los Olives, Cali fOrnia, with the United States forest service in an effort to perfect sys- tenn of wireless signals for forest fires. It was while so engaged, he said, that he discovered the possibilities of transmitting the human voice through the ground.
 The equipment consists of an ordi- nary telephone transmitter connected with a battery and a special instru- ment-Dr. Cox's secret-With Q ground wire. At the receiving sta tiOn five or fifty miles away is a similar equipment.

MendeI Kusnezon of East Main Street Buys Fake Money-malSing
 Machine.

Mendel Kusnezon. who until re- gently conducted a bicycle repair shop at 231 East Main street and who has just gone through bankruptcy pro- ceedings, told the police this morning how he was filn1-1ammed out of S265 by three men in Hartford.
 He said that on Saturday he went to visit a friend in Hartford and told him of his financial troubles. The friend was very sympathetic and suggested that they visit two other men who would be able to help him for a consideration.
 On a side street, the name of which he does not know, Kusnezon says he was taken into house where he was introduced to two men who were busily engaged i'll making real money with a small wooden press. After some dickering the two men sold the New Britain man the money-making machine for s265. Getting home, he found the machine to be nothing more than two boards clamped to- gether and stuffed with green paper. The Hartford police have been nott- fled and arrests are expected.

 BRITISH THRUSTO ON
PRESIDENTS NAME ON
 RURAL CREDITS BILL
Gives Short Address E1npha- sizing Importance of
 the Measure.

Washington, July 17.-President Wilson today signed the rural credits bill passed recently by congress. A group of senators, representatives and officers of farmers organizations ap- plauded warmly as MT. Wilson affixed his signature.
 Just before signing the measure, which creates a system of twelve land loan banks under direction of 8 federal board, the president made a short address, pointing out the bene- fits he believed both farmers and the investing community would enjoy un- der it's operation.
 "On occasions of this sort" said the president "there are so many things to say that one would despair of saying them briefly and adequate- ly, but I cannot go through the simple ceremony of signing this bill without expressing the feeling that I have in signing. It is a feeling of profound satisfaction of real gratitude that we have completed this piece of legislation which l hope will be immensely beneficial to the farm CTS of the country. The farmers, 1t seems to me, have occupied hitherto a singular position Of dlSadVantage. They have not had the same freedom to get credit on their real estate that others have had who were in manu- featuring and commercial enterprises and while they have sustained our life they did not in the same degree with some others share in the benefits of that life.
 Therefore, this bill along with the very liberal provisions of the federal
 reserve act, puts them upon an equal l ity with all others who have genuine assets and makes the great credit o1 l the country available to them" The president used two pens 1T 1 signing the bill and gave one of then ! to Senator Fletcher of Florida, who l asked permission to present it to the | Southern Commercial Congress.

Claim Made Sir Rogers Activities
 Did Not Constitute Treason
OUTSIDE OF KINGS REALM
Prisoner Present by Special Pernlis- sion and Is PaI1id From COnfine- Seats by Spectators.

London. July IT, 11:05 8. m.-A new chapter opened today in Sir Roger Easements legal fight against being executed for high treason for his activities in the Dublin revolt. Sir Rogers case reached the court of criminal appeal, and although the new proceedings hardly compared in point of public interest, with the trial, privileged spectators began to take seats an hour before the court was called to order.
 Justice Darling, by reason of his seniority as Kings bench judge, pre- sided, With Justices Bray and Scrut- ton on his right and Justices Lawrence and Atkin on his left.
 By special permission Sir Goger was present. He was attired in a lounge suit. His face has assumed a pallor since he appeared for trial.
 Sir Rogers counsel immediately upon argument emphasized the tech nicaI point that the law governing treason does not include any offense of adhearing to the Kings enemies outside of the realm.
 Alexander Sullivan of Dublin, coun- sci for Sir Roger, said the appeal would involve two questions: First, whether the matter described in the charge was in truth an offense within the statute cited; second, whether the definition of the offense-adhering to the Kings enemies-given at the reading of the trial was an accurate definition or defective as an instruc- tion to the jury
 MT. Sullivan was still quoting au- thOrities when the hearing was ad- journed until tomorrow.

GOTHAM AVIATION CENTER
Army and Civilian Flyers Ordered to Report to New York for EIxamina- tions Before Being Given Machines

New York, July 17.-As the result of the mobilization of the national guard along the border, New York has become the aviation center of the country. Militia officers from a num- Der of states have been ordered here by the war department for inspection and physical examination to determine their fitness for the aeronautical ser vice of the army.
 Many civilian aviators who have of fered their services to the government, also have been ordered here. As soon as aeroplanes are available these VOL unteers will be given flying pra ctice.
 The only militia aviation organiza- tion that has aeroplanes now is the First Aero Company, New York Na- tional Guard, which was mustered in last Thursday.
